Chapter 72

Fame in one battle!

The incident at the palace quickly spread, and the people of Yao City couldn't help but draw a deep breath. They thought that if Lord Wei Yuan and Ye Chu hadn't stepped forward at that time, what would Yao City have become?

Would the King of Yao be captured, and would the Yao people be trampled by the iron cavalry of the Sha Kingdom? Would families be destroyed and people killed?

Thinking of this, everyone felt a sense of relief! Even though many had cursed Ye Chu countless times before, they now had to be grateful to him. Despite his many flaws, Ye Chu had saved them, and they couldn't help but thank him!

Of course, they were also deeply impressed by the strength Ye Chu had displayed. They were in awe, as he possessed power comparable to that of a Xiantian realm cultivator, far surpassing the young generation of Yao City.

This made the people of Yao City feel a mix of emotions. The person they once called a good-for-nothing and looked down upon had transformed into someone they could only look up to. The twists of fate in this world were truly unpredictable.

The news that Lord Wei Yuan was ennobled as a non-royal prince also became widely known among the people of Yao City. Some even speculated that the Wei Yuan Mansion had benefited from Ye Chu. After all, a non-royal prince had not been bestowed on anyone outside the royal family for a hundred years. Although Lord Wei Yuan's achievements were remarkable, they were not enough to warrant such a high honor.

Others sighed, thinking that if Lord Wei Yuan hadn't expelled Ye Chu from the Ye family back then, the Wei Yuan Mansion would now have two people with Xiantian-level strength, which was unprecedented in Yao City!

"I wonder what the people of the Wei Yuan Mansion are thinking?" The people of Yao City couldn't help but sigh, wondering if anyone in the Wei Yuan Mansion regretted their actions.

After that battle, the young generation of Yao City also went wild for Ye Chu. Even those who had cursed Ye Chu like mortal enemies now wanted to befriend him. Some women in Yao City even couldn't resist declaring their love in public.

Only Su Rong, after that battle, hid in the palace and never showed her face again.

Some women, thinking that Ye Chu was about to leave Yao City, wanted to bring Su Rong out to persuade him, but found that they couldn't even see Su Rong, which made them very anxious.

Then, news spread that Su Rong had been at the scene that day, witnessing Ye Chu disable a Xiantian realm cultivator and refuse the title of National Master, leaving in a huff. This news made the women who were eager to find Su Rong understand something and finally gave up the idea of bringing Su Rong to persuade Ye Chu.

At this point, Liang Shan became the object of everyone's invitations. Liang Shan had never imagined that he would be so popular. Of course, he knew why, so when they asked where Ye Chu was, Liang Shan always said he didn't know.

He was very clear that if they knew where Ye Chu was, he would never receive such treatment again.

...

Ye Chu was still at Bai Xuan's residence, playing games in the courtyard with Yao Yao. He pondered the phrase "Ling Sha as one, can transform Yin and Yang." After the battle with the Xiantian realm cultivator and the surge of Sha Qi into his body, Ye Chu vaguely understood something.

But Ye Chu was still uncertain and could only try slowly.

This was a turning point for entering the Xiantian realm. As long as he could figure out these things, with his strength already at the peak of the Huayi realm, breaking through the bottleneck to reach the Xiantian realm would be no problem.

Reaching the Xiantian realm, Ye Chu would truly transform and could return to Qingmi Mountain with confidence. Otherwise, if he went down the mountain with the same strength he had when he came up, he would surely be mocked by the fatso.

"Do you really not want to return to the Wei Yuan Mansion?" Bai Xuan stood in front of Ye Chu, looking at him lying in a rocking chair, legs curled up, basking in the sun while reading a rare book. She thought he had a transcendent quality beyond his years.

Ye Chu turned to look at Bai Xuan. She was wearing a plaid top, but it couldn't hide her voluptuous and alluring figure. Although he couldn't see inside, the high, rounded curves were visible from the outside. Looking at Bai Xuan's delicate face flushed with a light blush, Ye Chu thought she was truly captivating. He had seen many beautiful women over the years, but looking at Bai Xuan now, his heart still raced.

Bai Xuan, seeing Ye Chu staring at her with a burning yet clear gaze, lightly spat at him, helpless, and used her fair hand to block his gaze. "With your current strength, if you return to the Wei Yuan Mansion, they should welcome you with open arms."

When Bai Xuan first heard that Ye Chu had disabled a Xiantian realm cultivator, she doubted her ears. As the news spread, she finally believed it. Looking at the carefree and relaxed young man lying in the rocking chair, Bai Xuan found it hard to understand.

This naughty, somewhat bad little rascal actually had such astonishing strength. No wonder her father said that the secrets Ye Chu harbored far exceeded what he showed.

"I'm not suitable to return!" Ye Chu shook his head. When Lord Wei Yuan swore before the ancestors to expel him from the Ye family, returning now would be slapping Lord Wei Yuan in the face. Regardless of their true feelings, whether they really wanted him back or not, Ye Chu couldn't just walk through that door.

Moreover, who could guarantee that the anger of the Ye family in the capital had subsided? Two Xiantian realm cultivators in one family sounded impressive, but it was only enough to show off in a small kingdom like Yao. In a large family like the Ye family in the empire, it was nothing.

"Ah!" Bai Xuan also sighed. She had heard about Lord Wei Yuan's anger and how he had expelled Ye Chu from the city. But Bai Xuan wasn't a gossip, so she didn't know much. Seeing Ye Chu now, she realized the situation was far more complicated than she imagined.

"You should have behaved better back then!" Bai Xuan rolled her eyes at Ye Chu. "To make the old marquis, who doted on you, so furious that he let you fend for yourself, what terrible thing did you do?"

Ye Chu chuckled, not wanting to talk about his past indiscretions. If he had succeeded, he might have had the nerve to talk about it, but since he didn't get what he wanted and only caused trouble, it was too embarrassing.

"Back then, a woman fell in love with me and tried to seduce me, but I'm not a随便的人 (casual person), so I firmly refused her! As a result, her family pressured the Wei Yuan Mansion, and I refused to comply, so I was beaten and thrown out." Ye Chu sighed, "Later, I found out that the woman was quite beautiful. If I had known, I would have given in to her."

"Go away!" Bai Xuan rolled her eyes at Ye Chu, not listening to his nonsense. "You were the one trying to seduce her, weren't you? You were really bad back then."

Ye Chu, with a shameless smile, didn't mind Bai Xuan's words, his gaze fixed on her beautiful face. "If I were to try to seduce someone, it would be someone like Sister Bai Xuan."

"You've become bold!" Bai Xuan blushed, glaring at Ye Chu. This guy was getting bolder.

Ye Chu scratched his head hard, sighing regretfully. "Why didn't I meet Sister Bai Xuan three years ago? If I had met her back then, I wouldn't have even glanced at other women. Even if I had to deceive, steal, or force, I would have tied Sister Bai Xuan to me."

Bai Xuan, finding Ye Chu's words increasingly outrageous, was at a loss, hitting his head with her hand. "What are you thinking, you rascal!"

Ye Chu reached out and caught Bai Xuan's hand, feeling the smoothness. Bai Xuan's face turned red, and she struggled to break free, not wanting to scold Ye Chu. She found an excuse and fled.

"Ha ha ha..." Ye Chu laughed.

Hearing Ye Chu's laughter behind her, Bai Xuan was at a loss, feeling embarrassed. She had been flustered by a half-grown boy.
