The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 653: Qin Yi’s Status in Qingyun Sect

The next day.

The sun was shining brightly.

As there were no cars in the Ancient Martial World, Ye Chenfeng and Qin Yi hired a horse-drawn carriage to depart.

Inside the carriage.

Ye Chenfeng was dressed in a white long robe that day, which, coupled with his handsome appearance, made him look the part of a dashing young master from a turbulent age. If he had been holding a folding fan or a precious sword, he would have been even more perfect.

Ye Chenfeng learned from Qin Yi that it would take approximately four hours by horse-drawn carriage to reach the Qingyun Sect. They set off early in the morning, which meant they should arrive around lunchtime.

The carriages of the Ancient Martial World were not as comfortable as the cars from the Secular World, jostling roughly along the road, and with wooden boards inside that were extremely hard—an ordeal for one’s backside. People accustomed to cars would definitely find it uncomfortable to ride in such carriages. However, fortunately for our comrade Ye Chenfeng, such trivial matters were not a problem for him.

"Boss, I really envy you! How come no matter what clothes you wear, you always look so dashing? Doesn’t that make it impossible for the rest of us men to live up to? Boss, you are simply the epitome of the perfect man," Qin Yi said with a laugh.

"Qin Yi, once we get back to your Qingyun Sect and gather information about Han Chuxue, I’ll help you take down the Guiyuan Sect so you can reunite with the person you care about," Ye Chenfeng said, his mind not at ease. He had thoroughly learned about the Ancient Martial World from Qin Yi the night before.

Ye Chenfeng had five objectives for coming to the Ancient Martial World this time.

The first objective was to wait for the appearance of Han Chuxue in the Ancient Martial World, for she had already become his woman.

The second objective was that if Han Chuxue was found, her vendetta must be avenged by him. Therefore, annihilating the Han Sect and helping Han Chuxue move past her resentment was his second goal.

The third objective was that Ye Chenfeng had already forged enmity with the Xuantian Sect. Even if Ye Chenfeng did not seek trouble with them, the Xuantian Sect might well come looking for him in the future. Therefore, it was necessary for him to erase the Xuantian Sect from the Ancient Martial World. freeweɓnovel-cøm

The fourth objective was that there was also an unresolved grievance between Ye Chenfeng and the Cold Sea Pavilion. Moreover, the Cold Sea Pavilion had sought him out repeatedly. If he did not extinguish the Cold Sea Pavilion during this visit to the Ancient Martial World, it would indeed be hard to explain.

The fifth objective was to assist Qin Yi. Ye Chenfeng had learned that Qin Yi’s adversary was the son of the Guiyuan Sect Leader. It was thus imperative that the Guiyuan Sect be eradicated from the Ancient Martial World.

The Guiyuan Sect and Xuantian Sect were considered first-rate forces, while the Han Sect and Cold Sea Pavilion were second-rate.

A sect of first-rate forces has at least thirty Heaven Rank experts—this is just the baseline for classifying the level of a sect. It can be said that almost every sect considered first-rate has more than thirty Heaven Rank experts. Hence, even with the King Level trump card of the Wing Guard Team in hand, Ye Chenfeng still felt somewhat insecure.

Moreover, Ye Chenfeng learned from Qin Yi the previous night that above the first-rate forces were mysterious top-tier forces. Where were those top forces located, and how powerful were the people within them? Qin Yi did not know, likely because his strength had not yet reached the level where he could understand these secrets.

Fortunately for Ye Chenfeng, there were no mysterious top-tier forces among his current enemies, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. He had a vague sense that there were ranks above the Heaven Rank, just as there were King Level Soul Force, Sect Level Soul Force, and Venerable Level Soul Force beyond his tenth level Soul Force.

So, with his Soul Force at the Middle Stage of level ten, he hadn’t yet reached the point where he could look down on everything.

All Ye Chenfeng could do now was to take things one step at a time.

The four hours passed swiftly.

Ye Chenfeng stepped down from the carriage, and what came into his view was a stone slab over one meter tall, with the powerful and vigorous characters "Qingyun Sect" etched clearly upon it.

Behind this stone slab lay an open field, and at the far end of the field stood an ancient-looking building. Now that the morning training time for the Qingyun Sect disciples on the field had passed, there were only seven or eight people present.

Qin Yi stood beside Ye Chenfeng, looking at the bold characters for "Qingyun Sect." He couldn’t help but be filled with emotion. He, Qin Yi, had returned once more, and this time, with the help of his boss, Ye Chenfeng, he had returned with his strength restored. From this day forward, he would no longer kowtow to anyone.

"Boss, I’ll take you to meet my father," Qin Yi said to Ye Chenfeng, then started walking toward the open field ahead of them.

As Ye Chenfeng and Qin Yi appeared, the seven or eight people in the field immediately noticed them. Five of the youths were visibly startled upon seeing Qin Yi and then, smirks of ridicule appearing on their lips, they walked together towards Qin Yi and Ye Chenfeng.

The leader of the group was a tall and strikingly postured young man who was also rather easy on the eyes. He was Wu Hai, the grandson of the Qingyun Sect’s Great Elder.

Following close to Wu Hai were four other youths, who were the grandsons of four other Elders of the Qingyun Sect. Their names were Wang Tong, Li Kangwei, Zhu Qiang, and Yang Langtao, respectively.

Ever since Qin Yi had offended the first-rate Guiyuan Sect and had lost all his strength, he had been subject to ridicule and mockery within the Qingyun Sect. Fortunately, as the son of the Sect Leader, the Qingyun Sect disciples didn’t dare go too far with their antics. Nevertheless, they never missed an opportunity to taunt Qin Yi whenever they saw him.

Ye Chenfeng swept a glance over the strength of Wu Hai and the others. The highest among them was Wu Hai, who had only attained the strength of the Middle Grade at the Earth Rank. The other four were even more pathetic: Wang Tong at the Lower Grade of Earth Rank, Li Kangwei at the Lower Grade of Earth Rank, Zhu Qiang at the High Grade of Profound Rank, and Yang Langtao at the High Grade of Profound Rank.

No wonder the Qingyun Sect was not even considered a third-rate power in the Ancient Martial World. With Ye Chenfeng’s current strength, it seemed that sweeping through the entire Qingyun Sect alone wouldn’t pose a problem.

Wu Hai and the other four youths blocked Ye Chenfeng and Qin Yi’s path, their faces exuding arrogance and a sense of superiority. Ye Chenfeng really couldn’t understand how such weaklings, who hardly had the power of a five, could feel pride. It was utterly ridiculous.

The other female disciples of the Qingyun Sect on the field began whispering to each other when they saw Qin Yi.

"Why has Qin Yi returned to the Qingyun Sect? It looks like he’s going to be toyed with by Brother Wu Hai and the others again."

"Qin Yi used to be considered a genius too. If he hadn’t been crippled, he might have had some fame in the Ancient Martial World among the younger generation by now."

"Eh! Who’s that guy next to Qin Yi? He’s actually pretty handsome."

"What’s the use of being handsome? In the Ancient Martial World, strength is what matters. If he’s with Qin Yi, I guess he’s just another useless person. Nowadays, Brother Wu Hai has the highest strength among the younger generation of our Qingyun Sect. Maybe in the future, Brother Wu Hai could become the Sect Leader. After all, the position could never fall into the hands of a useless person."

...

When Qin Yi saw Wu Hai and the others blocking their way, his face darkened, and he said sternly, "Wu Hai, get out of my way."

Wu Hai and the others were slightly taken aback, and then Wu Hai’s face also became somber. Back in the day, Qin Yi was the hope of the Qingyun Sect. With the sect centered around him, he made other male disciples envious and resentful. Therefore, once Qin Yi had become a "useless person," they had taken great pleasure in mocking him, especially since even Qin Yi’s father, the Sect Leader of Qingyun, had almost given up on him. As long as they didn’t endanger Qin Yi’s life, they were free to do as they pleased.

But now, after Qin Yi had disappeared for a while and returned to the Qingyun Sect, his tone sounded as though he was back to his days as a genius. This annoyed Wu Hai, who snorted coldly and said, "Qin Yi, you’ve got some nerve. Do you have any idea how extensively the Qingyun Sect has been looking for you these days? Prepare to accept the sect’s punishment!"

Observing the expressions on Wu Hai and the others’ faces, Ye Chenfeng could almost ascertain that they had often ridiculed Qin Yi. For a sect that couldn’t even maintain unity among its own disciples, if it could still somehow manage to prosper, that would truly be a wonder.(To be continued.
