"Who the hell are you calling a Brat?" Wine Kid was unafraid, pointing at Yue Lingwei and ready to curse.
Ye Tian saw the situation was getting out of hand and quickly stepped between the two, then turned to glare at Wine Kid, saying, "Go back to sleep!"
"I'm not sleeping!" Wine Kid stubbornly replied, like an old bull.
"Brother Bai, Brother Duan," Ye Tian signaled with his eyes, and the two understood immediately.
"Don't anyone touch me! I have to fight him today!" Although Wine Kid's view was blocked by Ye Tian, it did not deter his determination to provoke. He shook off Duan Liu's hand and was about to charge at Yue Lingwei.
Yue Lingwei sneered disdainfully; not even a mere Wine Kid could catch his attention, let alone the four people from Cloudscroll Pavilion, including Ye Tian.
"Wine Kid, stop making a scene!" Ye Tian finally expressed some displeasure. Wine Kid's behavior was truly troublesome; it seemed only a show of strength would put him in his place.
However, Wine Kid ignored Ye Tian's reprimand and became even more aggressive, channeling Martial Origin Power in his hands.
"Sigh..." Ye Tian sighed helplessly and suddenly reached out with his right hand to strike Wine Kid on the back of the neck.
Feeling a gust of wind approaching from behind, Wine Kid was startled and attempted to dodge. But as a Seven-Section Warrior, he was no match for Ye Tian's attack. With a dull thud, Wine Kid was knocked unconscious and fell to the ground.
"Brother Duan, Brother Bai, you should rest early," Ye Tian instructed the two who came forward to help Wine Kid.
"Okay, you take care..." Duan Liu spoke without thinking. He intended to say to be careful but was interrupted midway by Bai Kuo's warning glance.
"Don't worry; I'm just going to have a chat with Brother Yue," Ye Tian said as he took a seat next to Yue Lingwei and raised his glass for another toast.
Duan Liu and Bai Kuo hesitated for a moment before finally taking Wine Kid upstairs.
"Brother Yue, please forgive my junior brother..." Ye Tian raised his glass in apology, sounding quite embarrassed.
"It's nothing; how could I hold it against a little kid?" Yue Lingwei was not a narrow-minded person and certainly did not harbor any ill will towards Wine Kid.
"That's good, I'll drink to that!" Ye Tian said with a hearty laugh as he tilted his head back to finish his drink. Yue Lingwei also raised his cup, waiting for Ye Tianxia's words.
"To be honest, your name sounds somewhat familiar, but I can't quite place it..." Ye Tian remarked, having heard Yue Lingwei's full name during previous conversations. It felt oddly familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.
"Of course! Wei Ge is our Chief Disciple of Falling Cloud Pavilion!" Someone immediately chimed in, pride evident in their tone.
Ye Tian was taken aback; no wonder it sounded familiar. This person was the renowned Chief Disciple of Falling Cloud Pavilion, known for his reputation of "breaking through the heavens"...
"It’s truly an honor to meet you, Brother Yue. Your name is indeed well-known..." Ye Tian cupped his hands in greeting. Although his words might seem overly flattering, they were genuinely heartfelt.
In Ye Tian's understanding, Yue Lingwei had long been managing the affairs of Falling Cloud Pavilion on behalf of Lord Peng Suoming. As the one in charge of law enforcement at Falling Cloud Pavilion, he was known for being strict and impartial. Regardless of one's status, if someone dared to commit a crime, they would surely face consequences. The Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters had fallen into his hands multiple times, and even Qiu Tiande's interventions were futile.
Moreover, he had once apprehended the Master of Cloud Pavilion, Qin Fufeng, although that incident ended up being a misunderstanding. At that time, it caused quite a stir throughout the Cloud Sea Sect, even alarming the sect leader who resided at Summit of the Cloud Marks. His nickname "breaking through the heavens" originated from this event.
He had been part of Cloud Sea Sect for over ten years and had made a name for himself five or six years ago. Coupled with the imposing title "breaking through the heavens," disciples gradually forgot his actual name and only remembered him as the strict and formidable figure from Falling Cloud Pavilion.
"Ha ha, so you are Ye Tian?" Yue Lingwei ignored Ye Tian's compliments; he had heard too many praises and had grown numb to them. However, Ye Tian—the one who dared to challenge the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters—seemed to give off an air of being a peacemaker instead. This made him question the authenticity of the Ye Tian before him.
"Brother Yue is joking. I am Ye Tian; there's no need for repeated inquiries," Ye Tian replied with slight displeasure. While he admired Yue Lingwei's character, his humility was not due to flattery but rather because Wine Kid had acted out of line. As a senior brother, he could only reluctantly clean up after him; he couldn't let the reputation of Cloudscroll Pavilion suffer.
Sensing Ye Tian's displeasure, Yue Lingwei laughed heartily and said, "In that case, I believe you a bit more."
Hearing Yue Lingwei's words only heightened Ye Tian's irritation; it felt as though there was some doubt about his identity as if he were trying to curry favor.
With that thought in mind, Ye Tian coldly chuckled and said, "Brother Yue should enjoy your drink; I won't accompany you any longer."
"Wait a moment." Yue Lingwei quickly stopped Ye Tian and smiled, "Brother Ye, please don't be angry. There have just been too many legends about you lately; I truly can't discern what's true."
"For instance, just now I mistook that brat for you."
"What do you mean by that, Brother Yue?" Ye Tian asked as Yue Lingwei persuaded him back to his seat and personally poured him another cup of wine.
"Ha ha, the rumors about Brother Ye outside are too exaggerated. They say he's around ten years old, has a bad temper, and his strength rivals that of Xuanyuan Changfeng and Shibo. That's why I thought that Brat was you when I first saw him," Yue Lingwei explained with a hearty laugh.
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian suddenly understood. Ever since he had confronted the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters openly, his reputation had skyrocketed like thunder in the sky within the Cloud Sea Sect Thunderous Sound. Initially, the rumors were somewhat credible, but as time passed, they began to take on a life of their own. The version that Yue Lingwei mentioned was one that Ye Tian had heard before, but he didn't take it seriously because he had heard even worse versions. They said that Ye Tian had a decisive battle with the eldest of the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters, Qiu Zixuan, at the Summit of the Cloud Marks, and in the end, he was crippled by Qiu Zixuan, which was why he was now cowering...
"Heh heh, that one is my junior brother. My master dotes on him the most, so he's a bit mischievous," Ye Tian said with a smile after understanding the reason and no longer feeling angry.
"Not just a bit mischievous; he's downright too mischievous! To be honest, if he were a little older and I mistook him for you, I wouldn't hold back," Yue Lingwei said as he raised his cup again and gestured for Ye Tian to drink up.
Ye Tian followed suit and then asked with a smile, "Forgive my curiosity, why does Senior Brother Yue think so highly of me?"
"Brother Ye, you don't know? It's not just us; even our master praises you highly," a disciple from Falling Cloud Pavilion chimed in with a laugh.
"That's right. What little Wu said is absolutely true; our master rarely praises anyone," Yue Lingwei nodded in agreement with the previous speaker.
"Heh heh, then I really don't understand. What merit do I have..." In truth, Ye Tian could guess why; it was likely due to his confrontation with the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters. However, to confirm this without sounding arrogant would be difficult.
"Ha ha, Brother Ye, don't be so humble. Let me explain it to you slowly," Yue Lingwei said as he picked up the wine jug but found it empty. He then raised his neck and shouted, "Waiter! Waiter!"
Worried that he might disturb others' sleep, Ye Tian quickly fetched the unfinished wine from their table. Once Yue Lingwei had the wine, he stopped calling out and filled two cups—one for himself and one for Ye Tian.
After they drank, Yue Lingwei spoke again: "In my ten-plus years of joining the sect, I've only heard my master praise three people."
At this point, he paused and looked around at everyone, building suspense.
"Wei Ge, hurry up and tell us! Don't dawdle."
"When will you stop teasing us like this, Wei Ge!"
"Yeah, yeah, it's always like this."
The disciples of Falling Cloud Pavilion complained in unison, but it was clear they shared a strong bond. This Chief Disciple was nothing like Li Xun, who was aloof due to his status and hard to approach.
"Hey hey..." Yue Lingwei chuckled twice and said, "First, it must be our Master of Yunhai Sect. The master said that the sect leader has the ability to reach the heavens and the earth, truly a divine being!"
"Well..." The crowd immediately expressed their disappointment with boos. Why would they need to show off the sect leader? In the entire Divine Wood County, who wouldn't sincerely praise the name Master of Yunhai Sect?
Ye Tian did not join in the commotion; he only felt a bit envious. He had never thought about competing with Li Xun. If one day he could interact like this, it would not only please Xuanyuan Changfeng but would also be a good thing for Cloudscroll Pavilion.
"Quiet! Let me tell you the second one." Yue Lingwei smiled mysteriously, raising his eyebrows a few times. After keeping everyone in suspense for a moment, he finally spoke, "The second one is the most outstanding disciple since Cloud Sea Sect was established! Do you know who it is? Do you know?"
"I don't know..." The crowd shook their heads one after another, even Ye Tian became interested.
"Haha, so damn stupid! Besides me, who else could it be!" Yue Lingwei laughed proudly, his voice echoing across the area.
Ye Tian couldn't help but smile as well. Although Yue Lingwei's words were exaggerated, describing him as outstanding was certainly not an overstatement. Taking over the stewardship from the Lord was indeed unprecedented in Cloud Sea Sect.
"Quiet down, quiet down! You all keep making noise!" Yue Lingwei pretended to be angry and interrupted the crowd's boos. Then his expression suddenly turned serious as he looked at Ye Tian and said, "The third one is you, Brother Ye."
"Me?" Although Ye Tian had anticipated this, hearing Yue Lingwei say it out loud still shocked him.
Even though he was personally taught by the Lord, he was still a Newly Accepted Disciple. For his reputation to have reached the Lord's ears and even received praise was indeed not easy.
"That's right, it's you." Yue Lingwei's gaze burned intensely as he stared at Ye Tian and said, "My master said that if there is an opportunity, even if it means snatching you away, we must bring you under our Falling Cloud Pavilion!"
