"Don't speak too soon, and I have no interest in any chief position," Ye Tian retorted mercilessly.
Ultimately, the conflict between the two stemmed from Li Xun believing that Ye Tian threatened his status. However, for Ye Tian, he had never taken those matters seriously. Li Xun had been relentless in his pressure, which annoyed him greatly. Now that the conversation had reached this point, he felt there was no need to hold back.
However, even if Ye Tian won, he would not accept any wager for the position of chief disciple; it was best to clarify that upfront.
"What does it matter if it's too early? You will never be able to defeat me," Li Xun said, narrowing his eyes and pointing at Ye Tian, an indescribable aura emanating from him.
Ye Tian showed no fear, his eyes shining brightly. After a moment of staring at each other, he said, "The Test of the Pavilion, is it? To be honest, I had no intention of competing with you, but since you are forcing me, then fine. Let's wait and see who is stronger!"
After that, Li Xun fell silent. The two continued to stare at each other for a while, sparks seemingly flying from their eyes. Finally, Li Xun snorted coldly and waved his sleeve as he left.
Before departing, his followers hesitated for a long time, unsure whether to follow him or not.
"There's no need to hesitate; you are no longer worthy to follow me," Li Xun said without looking back, his tone filled with indifference.
This statement made Ye Tian agree wholeheartedly. So when those people gathered around him again, his attitude suddenly turned icy.
"Loyal subjects do not serve two masters; I despise those who go with the wind," Ye Tian said without even glancing at them, effectively silencing their prepared flattery.
Watching Li Xun and Ye Tian leave one after another left the crowd completely dumbfounded. This was truly a case of making things worse; regardless of whether Cloudscroll Pavilion was under Ye Tian's control or Li Xun's in the future, they had lost all support.
"This... this..."
"Sigh, what a loss!"
As the two departed without looking back, the crowd sighed deeply, regretting their decisions.
Soon, the figures of Li Xun and Ye Tian disappeared from sight. At that moment, a figure slowly emerged from the nearby forest. His posture was somewhat hunched, giving him an impression of being quite old at first glance. However, within his deeply set eyes, there was a flicker of unusual brilliance.
"Ye Tian, heh heh, you really surprise me," the old man chuckled ominously, and then, as if having made up his mind, he quietly vanished into the shadows.
...
Ye Tian did not return to his residence but went directly to Duan Liu's place. He remained uneasy and was eager to learn about the injuries of Duan Liu and Yun'er.
Upon arriving at Duan Liu's place, he discovered that Duan Liu was not at home. After inquiring around, he found out that Duan Liu had not returned at all.
"Where could he have gone..." Ye Tian pondered for a moment before deciding to visit Azure Cloud Pavilion to see Yun'er.
About half an hour later, he arrived at Azure Cloud Pavilion. As soon as he stepped into the grounds, he saw Cold Moon in white robes talking with a group of female disciples from Azure Cloud Pavilion.
At the same time, Cold Moon noticed Ye Tian and immediately left the group to greet him, her face filled with joy and excitement.
"Sister Ningyue," Ye Tian greeted with a smile.
"I knew you were fine!" Cold Moon made a gesture as if to hug him but abruptly stopped halfway.
"What do you mean you knew I was fine? Did something happen to someone?" Ye Tian's heart skipped a beat as he wondered if something had happened to Yun'er or Duan Liu.
"No one is hurt; it's just my damn master. He said you were kidnapped," Cold Moon said with a mix of laughter and tears. She had been the first to return to Cloud Sea Sect and had waited at the Mountain Gate until she encountered Qin Fufeng bringing back Yun'er and Duan Liu. After asking about Ye Tian, Qin Fufeng had claimed that Ye Tian was abducted to use his blood for refining Mountain Gate's pills.
This frightened Cold Moon, prompting her to search for Ye Tian. However, Qin Fufeng had stopped her with various excuses. At that moment, Cold Moon began to have her doubts since she was well aware of Qin Fufeng's true nature as his direct disciple.
Nevertheless, despite her worries, her heart remained unsettled until she saw Ye Tian return safely, which finally allowed her to relax completely.
Hearing Cold Moon's words, Ye Tian couldn't help but laugh; Qin Fufeng hardly resembled a Shishu at all—he was clearly just someone spouting nonsense.
"Yun'er, how are they doing?"
"Their injuries seem quite severe. They were already unconscious when they returned, and Master is currently treating them," Cold Moon said with a frown.
"They? Is Duan Liu also here?" Ye Tian asked.
Cold Moon nodded and replied, "That's right. However, Duan Liu's injuries seem to be even more serious. He was mumbling incoherently when he came back, as if he had been dreaming. I wonder if he hurt his head..."
Although this sounded like a joke, Cold Moon was genuinely worried. Upon hearing this, Ye Tian felt a wave of anxiety. He had the Crimson Dragon's Golden Blood Power, Yun'er had the Nine Nether Ice Phoenix Power, but Duan Liu only relied on the power of the Crimson Flame Ape. Under normal circumstances, he could hold his own against some Martial Unity Definition characters without much trouble. However, they had previously encountered the Eight Elders of the Southern Sky, who possessed nearly ultimate formations. Given Duan Liu's strength, it would be fortunate if he hadn't lost his life; if his injuries were truly severe, something unacceptable could happen.
Thinking of this, Ye Tian quickly pulled Cold Moon along as they hurried towards Qin Fufeng's residence.
Before long, they arrived at Qin Fufeng's home. It must be said that this guy really knew how to enjoy life.
His residence was situated within a bamboo grove, surrounded by green bamboo and clear waters, with a gentle breeze wafting through; the environment was simply delightful.
At that moment, Qin Fufeng was holding a wine jug, leaning against a piece of green stone, savoring the wine with a look of contentment on his face.
Upon seeing Ye Tian and Cold Moon arrive, Qin Fufeng glanced at them sideways without saying a word and continued drinking.
"Uncle Qin, how are they doing?" Ye Tian rushed forward and asked anxiously.
"Sigh... I did my best," Qin Fufeng sighed lightly, shaking his head with a look of sorrow.
"What do you mean... you did your best..." Ye Tian was instantly stunned, his mind buzzing as if he might faint.
Cold Moon quickly supported him and glared at Qin Fufeng fiercely, saying, "Master, don't joke around."
"Hey, how can you speak to your master like that!" Qin Fufeng pretended to be angry and stood up as if to leave.
"Uncle Qin, what happened to them?!" Ye Tian realized that he had been too anxious. Qin Fufeng loved to tease people, and if Duan Liu and Yun'er were truly dead, he doubted he would have the mood to drink.
"I told you, I did my best." Qin Fufeng bypassed Ye Tian, continuing into the room.
"I put in all my effort, but they will probably be lying in bed for three days and nights."
Creak...
The door of the wooden house opened, and Qin Fufeng walked in with a mischievous grin, leaving Ye Tian and Cold Moon exchanging glances, both silently cursing.
Entering the room, they saw Yun'er lying on the bed. Her eyes were closed, but her breathing was steady, indicating that she was not seriously harmed; she just needed some rest.
"Where's Duan Liu?" Seeing that Yun'er was fine, Ye Tian asked about Duan Liu's condition.
"Over there." Qin Fufeng finished the wine in his jug and ordered Cold Moon to fetch more, but Cold Moon remained unmoved. With no other choice, he picked up the teapot and drank heavily.
"Where?" Ye Tian looked in the direction he indicated but did not see Duan Liu.
"Right there." Qin Fufeng impatiently pointed at the bed.
Ye Tian was speechless; the person lying on the bed was clearly Yun'er.
"Uncle Qin, I'm asking about Duan Liu! Duan Liu! Duan Liu!" Ye Tian emphasized the name. Although he believed Duan Liu should be fine, not seeing him made him anxious.
"I'm talking about Duan Liu too. Hey, why are you shouting? Don't you have any semblance of a junior? Don't you understand what Master values? Didn't Xuanyuan Changfeng teach you? Didn't Cloudscar tell you? The world is going downhill; you young people..." As he spoke, Qin Fufeng feigned a pained expression and pointed at Cold Moon, saying, "And you! What are you looking at? I wasn't talking about you, was I?"
The two ignored him. Since Qin Fufeng was being evasive, they had no way to deal with it.
Just as Ye Tian was feeling frustrated, a muffled sound suddenly came from the bed.
Although the voice was somewhat unclear, Ye Tian immediately recognized it as Duan Liu's voice, and it seemed he was calling out Luo Shanshan's name...
However, the source of the voice was surprisingly from beneath the bed.
Ye Tian and Cold Moon exchanged a glance and quickly approached to lift the curtain beside the bed. To their astonishment, Duan Liu was indeed lying under the bed.
"This..." Ye Tian turned back with a bewildered expression towards Qin Fufeng.
"I had no choice; there’s only one bed here. Besides, he has smelly feet and drools..." Qin Fufeng said with an expression of helplessness.
"But he’s injured! Shishu, you actually let him lie on the floor?"
"It's fine, it's fine. His injury is due to internal fire burning his body; being cool will help him recover faster," Qin Fufeng chuckled and added, "Moreover, he keeps calling my disciple's name. Although my disciple has already left Cloud Sea Sect, he was once my student. He’s too obsessed with her."
"You’re taking personal revenge," Ye Tian teased. At this point, he had completely set his mind at ease. Although Qin Fufeng appeared carefree, he would not be careless about serious matters. Since he placed Duan Liu under the bed, it indicated that Duan Liu's injuries were not very severe or had already been treated sufficiently.
"Rascal! I’m clearly doing this for you! Yun'er isn’t your girlfriend; do you only feel satisfied when you see your brother sleeping in the same bed as your girl?" Qin Fufeng pretended to shout angrily.
"..." Ye Tian and Cold Moon were left speechless.
