The faces of those concerned about Ye Tian, including Lin Zhenwu, were all pale. The four women, Yu Rongbing and her companions, trembled and quickly turned to look at Ye Tian, all on the verge of tears. Their beautiful eyes silently pleaded: Ye Tian, please, don’t speak recklessly!

"Presumptuous!"

The servants and maids following Lian Yuzhi all changed their expressions dramatically, their eyes filled with danger and eager anticipation as they looked at Ye Tian, on the edge of taking action. These face-losing ants dare to be presumptuous in front of the young lady... truly unforgivable.

"Why should the sparring be forgone?"

Lian Yuzhi’s face also changed, also somewhat dangerous, like she had her sights set on prey. She was certain that if Ye Tian couldn’t provide a satisfactory answer, she would immediately take action.

"Because you’re too weak. I’m afraid that in the so-called sparring, I might not control my strength well and send you to the west." Ye Tian spoke frankly.

He was a ruthless person who never gave up in dealing with enemies, never stopped until the opponent was done for, yet he wasn’t a murder-obsessed maniac.

The woman before him from the Great Thousand World was indeed a bit arrogant, dismissive and ignorant, but didn’t harbor bad intentions. Including her desire to take Yu Rongbing and the other three women away, was actually because she saw potential in them and wanted to grant them opportunities to enhance their martial arts level, giving them a better future.

Furthermore, at this moment, the woman only revealed an emotion of wanting to teach him a lesson, rather than murderous intent.

Overall, this woman simply hadn’t faced the harsh realities of society, a bit witless and superior but not to the extent of needing eradication, thus he was reluctant to engage.

However.

Ye Tian spoke the truth!!!

Yet when heard by others, it took on a different flavor...

In an instant, the air became quiet.

Space solidified like a solid mass.

Yu Rongbing and the other four women were directly stunned, scared stiff, just like the students and higher-ups from Divine Martial Academy who knew Ye Tian’s arrogant and boisterous personality, yet had still underestimated it!

Wocao!

Woa Tai Das Wo!

The presence you are facing is a legendary half-step Supreme Martial Realm existence! A figure from the legendary Great Thousand World akin to an Immortal!

No matter how arrogant, one must consider the opponent, right??????

After several breaths of silence, Lian Yuzhi recovered from a momentary daze and, without a word, directly prepared to take action.

Yet, at that moment.

"Yuzhi, are you certain you want to spar with my man?" Jin Qingcheng spoke.

Once these words were uttered.

Many present suddenly remembered that Ye Tian hadn’t returned alone this time; he was accompanied by a veiled woman.

Lian Yuzhi trembled all over!!!

Jin Qingcheng’s voice was too... too familiar...

Precisely because of that, she felt as if she was struck by a heavy hammer, becoming like a stone person.

Stunned, shocked to the point where her vitality seemed to fade.

"Nine... Ninth Princess, you... you... you..."

In the next moment, Lian Yuzhi suddenly kneeled, yes, kneeling on the spot, respectfully kneeling, all those high and superior emotions, arrogance, pride, and sense of superiority vanished completely, leaving only endless fear and confusion.

Jin Qingcheng suddenly felt irritated and disinterested.

Lian Yuzhi again displayed this demeanor.

Because of her extraordinarily high status, Jin Qingcheng had few friends in Jinluo Heaven; originally, Lian Yuzhi counted as one, but a friend who kneels at your sight, trembles, respects with honorifics, dares not meet your gaze... this was a sorrow.

And as Lian Yuzhi knelt, her following servants, maids, etc., did not hesitate and quickly kneeled in their panic, confusion, and stupor.

"Stand up," Jin Qingcheng said lightly.

"Yuzhi has failed to recognize Mount Tai and should kneel to accept punishment!"

Lian Yuzhi trembled uncontrollably, not daring to stand up, with just one thought in her mind — she actually wanted to lecture the Prince Consort?????

Lian Yuzhi’s heart was about to burst...

If you seek death, there’s no need to seek it like this.

Lian Yuzhi was on the verge of tears.

She quickly kowtowed to Ye Tian, saying, "Prince Consort, I... I truly didn’t know your identity, please forgive Yuzhi, if you are indeed angry, you can hit Yuzhi, or kill Yuzhi, just... please don’t bring harm to my family! I beg you!"

Ye Tian was dumbfounded.

It seemed like he had no intention whatsoever towards Lian Yuzhi from start to finish?

If otherwise, given his strength, would Lian Yuzhi still be alive now?

And the thing about harming her family???

What nonsense?

When did he plan to bring harm to her family?

She was overly cautious and timid, wasn’t she?

Also, somewhat delusional.

"All right, stand up."

Jin Qingcheng’s voice cooled a bit, carrying a tone of command.

This time, Lian Yuzhi dared not remain kneeling.

Yet even standing up, she trembled, and even tearfully, apologetically looked at Yu Rongbing and the four women, apologizing: "I-I’m sorry, I didn’t know, I..."

Yu Rongbing and the four women were completely speechless, feeling like they were dreaming due to the sudden reversal.

Confusion swirled in Lian Yuzhi’s heart again.

The Ninth Princess’s man?

Then he’s the Prince Consort?

And then the Prince Consort, not only with the Ninth Princess, but also with Yu Rongbing and a few other women... having treaded multiple vessels at once.

The key point is, the Prince Consort is blatantly unashamed about it, not hiding anything from the Ninth Princess.

Confounding.

Utterly confounding.

Also, in Jinluo Heaven, numerous young talents pursue the Ninth Princess, yet none attract her attention, so why did she take a liking to this Prince Consort from the Small Thousand World?

Besides, doesn’t the Ninth Princess have an engagement in Jinluo Heaven?

Emotions roiled within Lian Yuzhi!

Meanwhile, both the higher-ups and students from Divine Martial Academy turned to stone, silence descending to the point of death. As pairs of eyes, almost flying out, crazily erupted, glued to Ye Tian, Jin Qingcheng, and Lian Yuzhi, motionless.

Song Qingcang’s heart was about to leap out!!!

The fright was to the point of his organs seeming to shatter, his face distorted to the point his features twisted...

Filled with unwillingness, extreme unwillingness.

He believed Ye Tian’s strength greatly inferior to Lian Yuzhi, and if Lian Yuzhi acted, Ye Tian’s end was predictable.

It was just a step away, about to act!

Yet...

This overwhelming and unbelievable small probability of an unexpected event happened, how intolerable!?!

"His skill might not be great, but when it comes to women, he’s indeed invincible, damn—becoming a gigolo, relying on women as a gigolo!" Song Qingcang cursed internally, swore, beyond terror was a deeper jealousy.

"Dear, you’re not upset, are you? I deliberately saved her life!" Jin Qingcheng whispered to Ye Tian, somewhat appeasing and apologetic.
