78: Chapter 77 Leaving with Strides
78 -77 Leaving with Strides
“Feng, have you turned into a fool?!” Jiang Xiaozong murmured to himself, his face ashen as he looked at Jiang Feng, who had fainted in his arms, his heart filled with immense grief and anger.
“Big brother…” Jiang Xiaotang also had a pale face, wanting to say something comforting yet not knowing what could possibly be said.
Taking the Violent Blood Pill indeed had significant side effects, but they never imagined that Jiang Feng would pay such a heavy price for it.
Meanwhile, Jiang Tiannan remained silent for a long time, seeming to have aged considerably.
“I apologize for this spectacle, on behalf of myself, I offer an apology to everyone here,” Jiang Tiannan said, mustering his strength to bow in all directions to the cultivators.
“I assure you, such an incident will absolutely not happen again, please hold us accountable!”
“The martial competition, continues!”
Although Jiang Tiannan was very pale, he still forced himself to preside over the situation. freёnovelkiss.com
Today was his birthday, as well as a time for the Jiang Family to display its strength, but such an embarrassing incident had occurred, making him feel terrible.
But as much as it hurt, he had to endure it!
The people gathered around were all exchanging glances, Jiang Tiannan’s personal apology made it difficult for them to say anything.
Still, some sneered, “This is just too shameless, even playing such underhanded tricks on his own family.
If we were up there, who knows what the Jiang Family would do.”
Such comments, when heard by the members of the Jiang Family, made them flush with shame and rage, yet they were at a loss for words.
After all, the fault indeed lay with the Jiang Family, who else could they blame?
“Are you mistaken?
Youwei is the victim here.”
Ye Xuan jumped onto the stage, stood beside Zhou Youwei, gave Jiang Tiannan a sideways glance, and spoke indifferently.
“That’s right, just now when Jiang Feng took the Violent Blood Pill, it was clearly to put Zhou Youwei in mortal danger.
Had the side effects of the Violent Blood Pill not suddenly emerged, Zhou Youwei might already be on the ground.”
Ye Xuan’s words sparked a buzz of discussion among the crowd.
“Shouldn’t the Jiang Family give Zhou Youwei an explanation?”
“Heh, the old Family Head Jiang had just severed ties with Zhou Youwei and her family, now asking him to apologize, that’s going to be tough…”
Quite a few people watched Jiang Tiannan with a mocking air.
Jiang Tiannan was notoriously prideful, but today’s repeated humiliations were truly astonishing to onlookers.
The most amusing fact was that the humiliation wasn’t caused by outsiders, but by the Jiang Family themselves.
“You impudent brat, don’t push your luck!” Jiang Xiaotang’s face turned fierce as he looked at Ye Xuan, his killing intent showing.
Slap!
Jiang Tiannan swung back a slap across Jiang Xiaotang’s face.
“Father…” Jiang Xiaotang was utterly stunned as he looked at Jiang Tiannan.
“Hold your tongue!” Jiang Tiannan glared at Jiang Xiaotang with disappointment before turning to Zhou Youwei with a slight bow, “Our Jiang Family is at fault here.
I hope you can overlook this matter, in consideration of our past relationship.”
Zhou Youwei pursed her lips, remaining silent.
Ye Xuan said dispassionately, “Kill Jiang Feng, and this matter can be put to rest.”
Relationships had already been severed, and now they speak of the past relationships?
Is that supposed to be a joke?
“You!” Jiang Tiannan responded with some anger.
But considering the many eyes around, he could only suppress his rage and said, “Feng has become a fool; do you still want to kill him?”
“His turning into a fool is his own business, what does that have to do with me?” Ye Xuan flashed a smile.
“Youwei, what do you say to this?” Jiang Tiannan could only persist, turning to look at Zhou Youwei.
Zhou Youwei met Jiang Tiannan’s gaze and said slowly and clearly, “I just want to know, who suggested that Jiang Feng take the Violent Blood Pill?”
“It was his own decision,” Jiang Tiannan said gravely.
Zhou Youwei’s eyes swept over Jiang Xiaozong and Jiang Xiaotang before returning to Jiang Tiannan, offering a faint smile, “Is that so?”
The Violent Blood Pill was unquestionably linked to Jiang Xiaozong and Jiang Xiaotang.
Anyone with eyes could see it.
How could Jiang Tiannan not know?
But Jiang Tiannan clearly intended to absolve Jiang Xiaozong and Jiang Xiaotang of blame, pinning the crime of the Violent Blood Pill onto Jiang Feng alone.
“Zhou Youwei, no matter what, Jiang Feng is your brother, do you really intend to kill him?”
At this time, Jiang Yin, who had always been silent, stood up and asked indifferently.
“Were you deaf when I severed ties with him?” Ye Xuan looked at Jiang Yin, scoffing, “Sever ties when it suits you, then talk about family relations when it’s convenient and pull at heartstrings.”
As he spoke, Ye Xuan looked towards Jiang Tiannan and said slowly, “I once heard that you value your face a lot, and now it seems that is very true indeed.”
Jiang Tiannan’s face darkened at these words.
“Let it go, Ye Xuan,” Zhou Youwei said, pulling on Ye Xuan’s hand and walking towards the stage below, whispering, “From now on, none of us from Emperor Immortal Sect will ever set foot in Huainan Mountain again.”
Jiang Tiannan’s actions had completely disheartened Zhou Youwei from the Jiang Family devoid of affection.
She would never come to the Jiang Family again.
“Who knows how long Emperor Immortal Sect will even last…” At this moment, Yun Chen from Heavens Cloud Divine Sect suddenly let out a faint smile.
“Don’t worry, we will surely outlive your so-called Heavens Cloud Divine Sect,” Ye Xuan retorted.
“Ignorance and arrogance,” murmured Yun Chen, shaking his head slightly, saying no more.
What was Heavens Cloud Divine Sect’s standing?
A top power in the Southern Domain, capable of causing quakes with a mere stomp; what was Emperor Immortal Sect in comparison, to even think of contesting with Heavens Cloud Divine Sect?
Yun Chen had come to understand Ye Xuan: big talk, little skill, just good at spouting a few words.
He looked down on such characters.
However, he found Zhou Youwei to possess some actual strength, but the Emperor Immortal Sect she belonged to was just a decrepit elder, destined to be obliterated soon and become dust in history.
“A fool speaks of folly, the greatest folly of all,” Ye Xuan said, not even bothering to glance at Yun Chen, as he walked down from the stage with Zhou Youwei.
“Ye Xuan, Sister, are we leaving?” Zhou Bingyi spoke softly.
Zhou Youwei nodded lightly and said, “Let’s go.”
There was nothing for her here that merited any attachment.
“Mr.
Ye, if you would hold on, this old man will accompany you,” the elderly Hua Feng approached, bowing toward Ye Xuan.
“Master!” Seeing this, Jiang Jie’s face paled, his fists tightened, but he was helpless to do anything.
His biological brother had turned into an idiot, and now his master was following his enemy, which aggrieved him deeply!
“Let this old man also see off young Mr.
Ye,” said the elder Huang Wenzhong from Tianxue Mountain, smiling.
“On behalf of Dan Yun Sect, I too would escort Mr.
Ye,” Liao Yue of Dan Yun Sect said with a bow.
Suddenly, many people were extending good will towards Ye Xuan.
The Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pills had showcased Ye Xuan’s worth, and so everyone wanted to make his acquaintance.
“Then I must trouble everyone,” Ye Xuan said with a slight smile.
To him, these gestures were unimportant, but having so many people leave with him was a slap to the Jiang Family’s face, and why not enjoy it?
And so, Ye Xuan and his companions left the Jiang Family in a grand procession.
As they departed, the courtyard emptied in an instant, considerably reducing the number of people.
What had been a bustling atmosphere became suddenly desolate.
“The competition continues!” Jiang Tiannan propped himself up and presided over the event.
Unfortunately, with most people having left following Ye Xuan, the remaining competition had no highlights to speak of.
Those who stayed did so mostly out of respect for Heavens Cloud Divine Sect; otherwise, they too would likely have left.
What started as a lively celebration became a moment that left many shaking their heads in lamentation.
