Ye Tian's gaze met Yun'er's, and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly turned his head away, deliberately cooling his tone as he said, "I just think Master Lei might retaliate against you all, after all, this matter started because of me."
"Started because of you?" Yun'er asked with a light laugh.
"What I mean is that my involvement could lead him to take your lives," Ye Tian hurriedly clarified. In truth, he understood that he had no ulterior motives toward Yun'er, but for some reason, he often felt flustered when speaking to her. Perhaps it was due to not having seen the opposite sex for a long time. The attraction between genders is an unavoidable human nature, which is quite normal.
However, Ye Tianxin always felt a sense of guilt for not being able to find Cold Frost. So when such a normal situation arose with him, he felt a sense of wrongdoing.
"Oh..." Yun'er kept her beautiful eyes fixed on Ye Tian, nodding slightly as she listened to his words.
"Thank you, young brother," Old Master said, a flicker of an imperceptible sharpness appearing in his eyes before he once again cupped his hands toward Ye Tian.
"No need for thanks. What are you all doing?" When people are in an awkward situation, they are most likely to lose their composure. Ye Tian was in such a situation at the moment; in an attempt to change the subject and avoid awkward explanations, he blurted out this question.
Upon hearing this, Old Master's expression indeed darkened. They had been scheming and using miasma while searching for spiritual herbs; it was clear that this matter was a secret. Ye Tian's sudden intrusion had already touched a nerve, and yet he still asked such an indiscreet question.
However, since Ye Tian had previously helped them, even if that kindness was somewhat misplaced, Old Master still held back his anger and instead smiled as he cupped his hands. "I am surnamed Hu; may I ask for your name?"
"His name is Ye Tian," Yun'er interjected before Ye Tian could speak.
Old Master shot Yun'er a glance and feigned anger. "You are quite quick with your words!"
Yun'er made a face but said nothing more; she simply kept staring at Ye Tian with evident affection, showing no signs of the shyness typical of a young lady from a noble family.
"Since there’s nothing else, I will take my leave now. Please excuse me," Ye Tian felt that staying here was becoming increasingly uncomfortable, so he cupped his hands toward the three of them and prepared to depart.
"Wait." Just as Ye Tian turned around, Old Master suddenly called out to him.
"Uncle Hu, is there something you need?" Ye Tian turned back in confusion. Since he had learned Old Master's surname earlier, addressing him as Uncle Hu felt more appropriate.
"Um..." the Old Master did not answer directly but frowned and hesitated.
"Master, he won't," Yun'er seemed to sense the Old Master's hesitation and struggled to stand up, moving towards him.
"Yun'er, you need to distinguish between what is urgent and what is not," the Old Master scolded sternly, genuinely angry this time.
Ye Tian fell into confusion again upon seeing this; the three members of the Juggling Troupe seemed to carry too many secrets, and their behavior was erratic, leaving him utterly baffled.
"Ye Tian, wait for me a moment," Yun'er said as she pulled the Old Master deeper into the Forest while signaling Ye Tian not to leave just yet.
Ye Tian did not respond and helplessly turned to find a flat place to sit down.
However, his actions were interpreted by the Giant Ape as an attempt to leave. The Giant Ape leaped five zhang in an instant, blocking Ye Tian's path.
Startled by this sudden move, Ye Tian regained his composure and raised an eyebrow, asking, "What do you mean?!"
"Nothing much, Young Master Ye Tian, please stay here for a moment," the Giant Ape bowed and clasped his hands politely.
Yet no matter how polite he tried to be, his appearance and size made it seem more like a provocation.
Seeing this, Ye Tian became even more displeased and snorted coldly, "What? You think a mere Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique can stop me?"
The Giant Ape trembled at these words, seemingly surprised that this young man knew about the Blood Sect Evil Canon and the Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique.
"How did you find out?" the Giant Ape asked in astonishment.
"You don't need to know that," Ye Tian replied as he found a flat stone to sit on.
"You discovered our secret?" The Giant Ape wasn't very bright and inadvertently admitted that he had secrets of his own in surprise.
"Of course," Ye Tian chuckled inwardly. He was quite curious about what secrets the Juggling Troupe had, and now was a perfect opportunity to explore further.
"Then you probably won't survive." The Giant Ape shook his head in disappointment, with no killing intent emanating from him.
The absence of killing intent indicated that he had no intention of killing Ye Tian, but why would he say such harsh words? There was only one possible explanation: their plans were of such great magnitude and danger that they could not allow anyone to know. To prevent leaks, they would rather kill mistakenly than let anyone go.
What could be so significant that it made them act with such caution? Not to mention the Old Master, just the fact that the Giant Ape could still speak after activating the Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique suggested that he possessed strength that would pose little pressure even against a Martial Unity Expert. In other words, whatever or whoever could instill such fear in them must possess extremely formidable power in this area.
"Cloud Sea Sect?" Ye Tian's first thought was the Cloud Sea Sect. Unless they were targeting the Cloud Sea Sect, there was no need for the Blood Sect Assassins to be so on edge.
"You have some nerve, trying to assassinate an elder of the Cloud Sea Sect?" Ye Tian seized the opportunity and questioned sharply.
"You really know?! You absolutely won't survive today!" The Giant Ape leaped in front of Ye Tian, his eyes filled with a sense of regret.
Ye Tian tilted his head at him and sneered, "How can you be so confident that you can kill me?"
"Sigh... I really don't want to kill you." The Giant Ape's answer was off-topic, but this statement was more infuriating than a straightforward affirmation.
"Oh really?!" A surge of boldness suddenly rose within Ye Tian. In truth, he had no confidence in escaping from this person because the gap in strength was too evident. However, a man could be killed but not humiliated; Ye Tian despised surrendering before a fight even began.
"Master!!" The Giant Ape had a strange temperament; he ignored Ye Tian's fierce gaze and instead turned to shout into the depths of the forest.
Ye Tian believed that his previous fierce look would surely make the Giant Ape tremble, but unexpectedly, this fellow completely disregarded him, which felt quite disrespectful.
"Ahem..." Ye Tian cleared his throat twice.
"Master, come back quickly!" The Giant Ape continued to shout, still ignoring Ye Tian.
"Ahem!" Ye Tian coughed heavily twice.
Upon hearing the sound, the Giant Ape stopped shouting; in fact, his master should have already heard him.
"What’s wrong?" The Giant Ape looked down at Ye Tian with a puzzled expression.
"Are you still looking for help? Are you calling your master to back you up?" Ye Tian asked helplessly.
The Giant Ape was taken aback, then suddenly realized and laughed, "No, I really don't want to kill you. I'm calling my master back to make the decision."
Hearing this, Ye Tian felt both amused and exasperated; he seemed so insignificant in the eyes of the other party. Whether Steward was truly like this or not, his generous assistance that day had already become a joke.
"What's going on?" A voice came from the Forest, followed by two figures emerging from the depths.
"Master, he has discovered our secret," the Giant Ape said in a panic as soon as he saw his master appear.
Old Master raised an eyebrow at him, showing no signs of surprise. Instead, he coldly reprimanded, "First, get rid of that disguise."
The Giant Ape was confused by his master's scolding, and his feelings of grievance were evident, but he ultimately dared not refute. After glancing at Old Master, he began to chant something under his breath.
When he fought against Wang Weiyang that day, Wang Weiyang had also activated the Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique, but at that time Ye Tian was fully focused on preparing for battle and couldn't listen closely. Now, although the words spoken by the Giant Ape were extremely obscure, for some reason Ye Tian could hear them very clearly. As he mentally recited along with it, his body unexpectedly began to undergo a transformation.
Golden light burst forth from Ye Tian's body, illuminating dozens of feet in the Square Area in a golden hue in an instant.
"This..." Ye Tian was astonished; he hadn't consciously tried to recite the Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique, yet unexpectedly it seemed to be activating on its own.
"What kind of blood does this kid have to produce such power?!" Old Master exclaimed first. His strength was unknown, but just based on his age, he could at least be considered a senior figure in the Blood Sect.
In other words, what kind of blood had he not seen?
However, he truly had never seen the blood within Ye Tian's body.
Suddenly!
The golden light vanished abruptly, leaving everyone dumbfounded, including Ye Tian himself. He stared at his body in shock but found no signs of change upon inspection.
"Ye Tian..." Yun'er looked at him with a complex expression, mostly filled with disbelief.
After a brief moment of shock, Ye Tian realized the key point. During his fierce battle with Wang Weiyang that day, he had considered using the Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique to eliminate his opponent, but when the moment came, he found that he could not activate the technique at all. The reason he couldn't activate it was that he had been too excited after the blood exchange and had not memorized the incantation for the Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique. Without the incantation, how could he activate it?
At this moment, the Giant Ape was reciting the incantation, and out of curiosity, Ye Tian followed along. Once the incantation was activated, his Crimson Dragon Golden Blood immediately reacted, shining with an unmatched brilliance that illuminated a hundred zhang.
The appearance of such a phenomenon shocked everyone present, including Ye Tian himself. In his astonishment, he naturally interrupted the incantation he was silently reciting, causing the extraordinary occurrence to suddenly dissipate.
“...”
The crowd exchanged glances in silence; no one spoke—not because they didn't want to, but because they didn't know what to say.
“Who exactly are you?!” After an unknown period of silence, Old Master was the first to react, coldly questioning him.
Faced with this inquiry, Ye Tian innocently replied, “Who am I? I am Ye Tian...”
