Ye Tian was surrounded by the light words and sneers of the crowd, a slight anger rising within him. Although this group of people was not particularly handsome, they should not be so shallow at first glance.
"Everyone, listen to me, my collision with your Bronze Bell was truly an act of desperation..."
"Stop rambling! Who do you think you are? An act of desperation? I think you did it on purpose!" The woman from earlier interrupted Ye Tian's words with a shrill scream, resembling a shrew.
Ye Tian frowned deeply. Previously, he had imagined that the Azure Cloud Pavilion would be filled with handsome men and beautiful women of high virtue, but he never expected the reality to be so different.
These people were no different from common folk; they didn't bother to understand the situation and immediately began to shout and argue rudely, showing none of the demeanor expected from disciples of a prestigious sect.
"Who do you think you are, daring to crash into our Azure Cloud Pavilion's Bronze Bell? Clearly just causing trouble!"
"Yeah! Didn't he say he was from Cloudscroll Pavilion? Let's take him back and have that old man Xuanyuan Changfeng give us an explanation!"
Xuanyuan Changfeng, that old man...
These two phrases instantly ignited Ye Tian's fury. His expression turned icy in an instant, and his tone became extremely cold as he said, "Brother, watch your words."
The one who insulted Xuanyuan Changfeng was a young man in his early twenties. He had fair skin and was relatively Handsome, with an average build. At this moment, he stood closely with the earlier shrill woman, appearing quite intimate, as if they were a couple.
"Who is your brother? Don't try to get close to me." The White-Faced Man looked at him with disgust and disdain.
"If it weren't for the rules of this sect, do you think I would waste my breath on you?" Ye Tian's anger had been provoked. As he said, if he were not a disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect, or if this were not the Cloud Sea Sect, he probably wouldn't have said a word and would have already taken action.
"Haha, quite a bold tone! A-Xue, did you hear that? He means to fight me." The White-Faced Man laughed mockingly, resembling a spoiled rich kid from the streets.
The woman referred to as A-Xue was indeed the earlier shrill woman. Upon hearing her lover's words, she immediately chimed in, "Oh my, that tone is not just bold; it's downright terrifying! Don't you all agree?!"
After speaking, A-Xue did not forget to stir up the audience's emotions; her every word and action bore some resemblance to a courtesan from a brothel.
Under her provocation, a few disciples from the Azure Cloud Pavilion gradually joined in, as they were after all part of the same Cloud Pavilion. Moreover, Ye Tian had indeed recklessly struck their Bronze Bell, making it reasonable for them to view Ye Tian as an adversary both publicly and privately.
Ye Tian merely frowned and remained silent upon seeing this. He did not care about the others; he was just puzzled by the identities of this man and woman, who did not seem like good people from any perspective. He wondered why the Cloud Sea Sect would accept such individuals into their Mountain Gate, fearing that it might tarnish their reputation in the future.
"Speak up! You little lecher!" A-Xue said, placing her hands on her hips and adopting a scolding posture when Ye Tian remained silent.
It seemed that today she was determined to vent her anger on Ye Tian, though he had no idea how the Cloudscroll Pavilion had offended her.
The first thought that flashed through Ye Tian's mind was about the Wine Kid. It had to be him; in his quest for Cold Moon, he must have struck the Bronze Bell multiple times, causing discontent among these people. However, since the Wine Kid was a direct disciple of Xuanyuan Changfeng, they could not express their grievances openly. Now that Ye Tian had also done something similar, how could they tolerate it? Thus, they rushed to capture the troublemaker.
Of course, their actions were based on the assumption that they did not know Ye Tian was also a direct disciple of Xuanyuan Changfeng.
"Speak! Are you mute?" A-Xue continued to press him, seemingly intent on forcing Ye Tian to kneel and beg for mercy; otherwise, she believed this matter would not end well.
"Have your Lord's direct disciple come out to speak," Ye Tian said impatiently, casting a glance at A-Xue before speaking coldly.
"Oh? Such bravado! Do you think you can summon a direct disciple?" Upon hearing Ye Tian's words, A-Xue couldn't help but mock him.
"Heh." Ye Tian sneered because he had made an important discovery from A-Xue's statement: direct disciples held significant weight in the eyes of non-direct disciples like them. Their status and identity belonged to entirely different levels; at least in A-Xue's eyes, this was true.
"You little lecher, what are you laughing at?!" A-Xue's anger intensified at Ye Tian's cold laugh, which had been unrestrained and filled with disdain and disgust.
Seeing this, Ye Tian laughed even more coldly because A-Xue's expression indicated that his earlier sneer had touched a deep part of her psyche. From A-Xue's words, it was clear she was an unrestrained person. As the saying goes, those who lack something often want to flaunt it more. A-Xue repeatedly called Ye Tian a little lecher, clearly trying to showcase her own purity. But was she truly pure? The answer was obvious; she was not only impure but possibly very dirty.
"What has he done to you that you call him a little lecher?" Just as Ye Tian continued to sneer, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly rang out from behind the crowd.
"Yun'er..." Although Ye Tian could not see her yet, he could already identify who it was by her voice.
Moments later, amidst the stirring crowd, a well-proportioned and beautiful woman stepped forward. As Ye Tian had guessed correctly, this person was indeed Yun'er.
"Who do you think you are! How dare you meddle in my business!" A-Xue felt embarrassed in front of Yun'er, but her true nature as a shrew quickly resurfaced.
"I'm here to help you. Didn't you say he is a lecher? I think so too!" Yun'er said, her beautiful eyes constantly glancing at Ye Tian.
A-Xue was taken aback by this and soon realized from Yun'er's expression that she was being sarcastic. This made her furious, and she shouted, "You little hussy! Just look at the way you're looking at him, like a cat in heat. It's disgusting!"
As soon as A-Xue said this, everyone in the room frowned. Although they were annoyed with Ye Tian for crashing their gathering, they did not expect one of their own to behave so disgracefully. Not only was her demeanor outrageous, but her words were also shockingly vulgar.
"A-Xue..." The White-Faced Man felt embarrassed as well and gently pulled on A-Xue's arm.
A-Xue angrily shook off the White-Faced Man's hand and headed straight for Yun'er.
Ye Tian closely observed A-Xue's movements and deduced that her strength was likely at the late stage of a Second-Stage Martial Artist. However, her steps seemed somewhat unsteady, probably due to lack of rest.
"You little hussy, I'll teach you a lesson!" A-Xue was already feeling humiliated and angry from the atmosphere. She quickly approached Yun'er and raised her hand to strike her beautiful face.
"Dodge, defend yourself, counterattack..." Ye Tian felt an involuntary surge of anxiety as he saw A-Xue's hand coming down toward Yun'er, who stood still without flinching.
Slap!
The sound was crisp; it was indeed the sound of a slap landing on a face.
The actions of Yun'er, Ye Tian, and A-Xue froze for a moment. Yun'er wore a blissful expression, Ye Tian looked complicated, while A-Xue stared wide-eyed in disbelief at what had just happened...
Yuner's happiness stemmed from Ye Tian because she had always believed that he would step in to help her. Ye Tian's complexity arose from himself; he never imagined that he would act on behalf of Yun'er since she could have easily dodged.
As for A-Xue, there was no need to elaborate. Firstly, before being slapped, she did not believe that Ye Tian would dare to act in front of dozens of Azure Cloud Pavilion disciples. Secondly, she did not expect Ye Tian to counteract just before she could land her hit. Thirdly, Ye Tian's slap was heavy enough to leave her dazed.
"You... how arrogant!" The White-Faced Man saw his companion get slapped and wanted to retaliate. However, he had witnessed Ye Tian's sudden action and realized that with his own late-stage Second-Stage Martial Artist strength, he was no match for Ye Tian. Thus, he could only stand by and shout empty threats, lacking confidence in his voice.
"Ye Tian..." Yun'er lightly bit her red lips, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on Ye Tian, filled with immense happiness.
Ye Tian turned his head away, unable to explain his actions, neither to Yun'er nor to himself.
"I won't help you next time," Ye Tian said coldly, not even glancing at Yun'er.
Yun'er remained silent. After a moment, Ye Tian suddenly felt it was inappropriate; it wasn't like she had asked for his help, so how could he give her such a cold shoulder for no reason?
Ye Tian frowned and thought for a moment before forcing himself to add, "You could have avoided it yourself."
"I knew you were just pretending to be fierce," Yun'er couldn't help but giggle, as Ye Tian's acting in this regard was truly terrible.
"Can't you see we were being bullied?!" The White-Faced Man, feeling neglected, was quite annoyed. While Ye Tian and Yun'er were talking, he had already sought help from several fellow disciples nearby, but the results were disappointing; no one was willing to stand up for him.
Although this group was angry at Ye Tian for crashing into them recklessly, they also disapproved of A-Xue and the White-Faced Man's behavior. Initially, they considered helping them out of respect for their sect, but now that Yun'er had appeared, they completely dismissed that idea. Yun'er was wearing a light purple robe of the Azure Cloud Pavilion, and more importantly, her looks, figure, and demeanor far surpassed A-Xue's in every aspect.
When humans have to choose between two unclear options, appearance is always the most important factor in their judgment.
Thus, A-Xue was utterly defeated—not only defeated but also perfectly showcased a self-deprecating performance.
