The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 622 - 621: Challenge the Sect Leader?

Chapter 622: Chapter 621: Challenge the Sect Leader?

"I said you became stronger, only relative to others, but that doesn’t include me."

Ye Xuan looked at Ye Qingyue calmly and spoke slowly.

To tell you the truth, he thought Ye Qingyue was indeed a rare talent.

Moreover, she had received the inheritance of the Red Sparrow, which was why Ye Xuan regarded her differently.

But to tell the truth, Ye Qingyue’s temperament needs to be restrained, or else she will definitely suffer a great loss in the future.

It was precisely because Ye Qingyue had the inheritance of the Red Sparrow that Ye Xuan took action to teach her a lesson, lest she become too arrogant and encounter some trouble.

Ye Qingyue looked at Ye Xuan, who was calm, feeling incredibly aggrieved and sad at the same time.

She lost, just like that?

Every move she made was anticipated by Ye Xuan.

After her preemptive strike, Ye Xuan made his move, and in the blink of an eye, he had subdued her.

This dealt a significant blow to Ye Qingyue, who was always confident.

She had fought against many of her peers, winning some and losing others, but she had never been defeated so miserably before.

"Senior sister!"

Ruan Mengyue and Leng Hongmi finally reacted, seeing Ye Qingyue subdued on the ground, their faces turned pale as they hurried over.

"Ye Xuan, you must not act rashly, senior sister is the Holy Daughter of the Red Sparrow Institute, if something happens to her, you won’t be able to leave the Red Sparrow Institute!" Leng Hongmi said coldly to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan looked at Leng Hongmi, smiling but not really smiling, "You seem to have forgotten how you were beaten when you threatened me before?"

Leng Hongmi’s pretty face blushed, suddenly unable to maintain her usual icy demeanor, but still retorted strongly, "I am not lying this time, this is the Red Sparrow Institute!"

"Ye Xuan, since you have come to pay respects to our mountain, now that you have won, please don’t trouble senior sister any further," Ruan Mengyue also said.

"Rest assured, I just wanted to wake her up. As long as she admits her defeat, I naturally won’t make it difficult for her," Ye Xuan said with a light smile, looking at Ye Qingyue lying on the ground with an angry expression.

Ye Qingyue clenched her teeth tightly, glared at Ye Xuan with hatred, stood up from the ground, and snorted coldly, "Fine, I lost today, but next time I will definitely win back. Wait and see."

"Being able to admit defeat so quickly, that’s not such a bad thing," Ye Xuan’s mouth curled up slightly.

Qu Zhongyuan, watching from a distance, breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Ye Xuan would do something drastic.

Thank goodness.

At the same time, Qu Zhongyuan couldn’t help but be shocked by Ye Xuan’s strength, which was terrifying indeed.

When they met in Wan’an City of the Southern Domain before, although Qu Zhongyuan felt that Ye Xuan was very frightening, there were also many weaknesses at that time.

Now, however, he seemed even more terrifying.

Just by his own strength, he had instantly subdued Ye Qingyue, which was certainly a terrifying feat.

If this news spread to the East Desolation Domain, it would surely attract the attention of many.

Especially those geniuses who had once been defeated by Ye Qingyue, they would definitely be shocked.

Only they knew how formidable Ye Qingyue really was.

Yet, such a powerful Ye Qingyue was defeated by Ye Xuan, and she didn’t even last two seconds.

What terrifying strength that was!

"Qingyue, are you okay?" Qu Zhongyuan came over and asked softly.

Ye Qingyue straightened herself out, glared at Ye Xuan resentfully, and said to Qu Zhongyuan, "Uncle Master Qu, I’m fine, just very upset."

Qu Zhongyuan shook his head, chuckling.

The battle was over very quickly, and from beginning to end, Ye Xuan had not harbored any intention to kill, merely making Ye Qingyue suffer a humiliating defeat.

Ye Qingyue was not injured.

"Young Master Ye, have you truly come to pay your respects to our mountain?" Qu Zhongyuan looked at Ye Xuan, still not believing his words.

"He fought me after all, he must have come to pay respects," Ye Qingyue said, unable to hide her displeasure.

Qu Zhongyuan didn’t pay attention to Ye Qingyue and continued to gaze intently at Ye Xuan.

"Of course," Ye Xuan said with a slight smile, his voice calm, "However, I always prefer not to fight with the young. I like to challenge your elders, or the Sect Leader, or perhaps some old ancestor."

"What?" Qu Zhongyuan thought he had heard wrong.

Ye Qingyue and the two others were also utterly confused and soon furrowed their brows, expressing disdainfully, "Ye Xuan, I admit you are indeed very strong, much stronger than I am, as just proven, but with your strength, wanting to challenge an Elder or my Master from the Red Sparrow Institute, you’re far too high on yourself."

Ye Qingyue laughed softly and said, "If my Master were to make a move, she could suppress you with just one finger, believe it or not?"

Leng Hongmi and Ruan Mengyue also wore strange expressions, feeling Ye Xuan must be crazy to make such a statement.

A young cultivator challenging an Elder or the Sect Leader of a Sect?

What a joke.

Typically, paying respects to a mountain involves combatants of the same level.

Or perhaps it was about competitors of similar age wanting to see who was stronger.

The idea of a young upstart challenging the Elders or Sect Leader of another Sect was just too arrogant, wasn’t it?

The three, already disliking Ye Xuan, now found him even more disagreeable.

Especially Ye Qingyue, who although had felt extremely irritated by Ye Xuan after he defeated her easily, which was a natural reaction.

Despite her annoyance, she still acknowledged Ye Xuan’s strength.

But now, Ye Qingyue found Ye Xuan particularly distasteful.

This guy was just too full of himself!

Did he really think that after defeating her, he could challenge the powerhouses of the Red Sparrow Institute?

What a joke.

Although she was the Holy Daughter of the Red Sparrow Institute, in reality, she wasn’t the strongest among the younger generation there.

The title of Holy Daughter merely indicated that her potential and talent were incredibly frightening, and her future was promising, and that’s why she had been chosen as the Holy Daughter.

Within the Red Sparrow Institute, there were many True Disciples, among whom there were even older individuals who had stepped into the Saint Realm.

Even if they had not entered the Saint Realm, they had already overcome the Heavenly Human Five Decays and become formidable figures in their own right.

Just one of those of such standing would be a terrifying presence.

Thus, upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, whether it was Qu Zhongyuan or Ye Qingyue and her group, they found Ye Xuan’s claims unfathomable, feeling that he was all talk.

But...

How could they know that Ye Xuan, previously in the Mo Family Divine City, had successively suppressed several of Mo family’s old ancestors, and then entered the Demon Realm, slaying six Demon Emperors and suppressing the ruler of the Demon Realm?

If they were aware of this, they surely wouldn’t harbor their current thoughts.

Ye Qingyue wouldn’t have made the claim that her Master could suppress Ye Xuan with just one finger.

"Suppress me with just one finger? I really find that hard to believe," Ye Xuan smiled and said, "How about you call your Master over, and I give it a try?"

"You!" Ye Qingyue was immediately choked with anger and snapped, "Stop spouting nonsense here. My Master is the Sovereign of the Red Sparrow Institute; do you really think you’re Mo Yunchui, the senior who saved someone’s life, and therefore everyone in the East Desolate should bow to you respectfully?"

"I’m telling you, the East Desolation Domain is vast!"

"Mengyue, Hongmi, let’s go. We won’t waste words with someone so unintelligent."

Having said that, Ye Qingyue beckoned Ruan Mengyue and Leng Hongmi, intending to leave.

Qu Zhongyuan couldn’t help but say with a wry face, "Young Master Ye, you must be joking."

Ye Xuan shrugged, appearing indifferent, "Since you’re unwilling to connect us, then I’ll have to go find her myself."

"Wait!"

Qu Zhongyuan hurriedly interjected.

He was genuinely afraid that Ye Xuan would cause trouble at the Red Sparrow Institute. With Ye Xuan’s special status, if something happened there, it would be hard for him to explain.

After hesitating a moment, Qu Zhongyuan said, "Qingyue, stay with Young Master Ye for a bit, I’ll go and speak with the Sect Leader."

Ye Qingyue, already stepping away, impatiently responded, "I’m supposed to keep him company?"

Qu Zhongyuan certainly understood Ye Qingyue’s sentiment and hastily signaled with his eyes.

Catching Qu Zhongyuan’s sign, although still very reluctant, Ye Qingyue knew she had to be prudent and grudgingly agreed, "Alright then, Uncle-master, you’d better hurry because I need to get back to my cultivation."

"You have my thanks," Qu Zhongyuan said.

Then Qu Zhongyuan turned to Ye Xuan, "Young Master Ye, please stay with Qingyue and the others for a while. I will return shortly."

Ye Xuan watched their facial expressions change and knew full well Qu Zhongyuan’s intentions, but he didn’t call him out, and nonchalantly replied, "Well, you’d better hurry up, my time is limited."
