The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 682: Making a Move

Guiyuan Sect, one of the premier forces within the Ancient Martial World, boasted a total of thirty-eight Heaven Rank experts within its ranks. Whether there were any masters above the Heaven Rank within Guiyuan Sect was a matter generally not disclosed to the outside by the major sects.

This time, Du Wannian, the Sect Leader of Guiyuan Sect, was celebrating his fiftieth birthday in a grand manner. Virtually every first-tier and second-tier sect had been invited. As for the third-tier sects and those insignificant ones, they were not qualified to attend today’s birthday banquet. Of course, there were a few exceptions. For example, the low-profile Qingyun Sect, was specially named by Du Baiping, the son of the Sect Leader of Guiyuan Sect, to attend the event. Specifically, Du Baiping had insisted on bringing along that useless Qin Yi.

As the fiery red sun burst forth from the horizon and ascended higher, its warmth bathed the earth in its glow.

In front of Guiyuan Sect was a vast square where the carriages of various major sects were neatly arranged by Guiyuan Sect’s disciples.

Nine people emerged from two cyan carriages. Among them was a middle-aged man, three were women in their twenties, and the last five were old men in their sixties or seventies.

These nine were none other than the members of Qingyun Sect. The middle-aged man was Qin Baiyan, the father of Qin Yi, and the three women were female disciples of Qingyun Sect. The last five old men were the Great Elders of Qingyun Sect.

The visages of these five Great Elders were dark. Ever since Chenfeng had killed their grandson, they hadn’t been able to do nor say anything; they could only watch helplessly as Chenfeng walked away. Since that day, not one of these five old men had a single good day’s mood.

"Xia Zining, keep the birthday gift safe. If you damage it, you’ll see what we’ll do to you!" the Great Elder scolded fiercely at one of the three female disciples.

The Qingyun Sect female disciple who was scolded by the Great Elder was very pretty and delicate. This young woman, named Xia Zining, was the one who had actively offered her sword to Ye Chenfeng at Qingyun Sect.

However, after Ye Chenfeng and Qin Yi had left Qingyun Sect, the Great Elders had somehow learned of the incident and had since vented their anger on this disciple named Xia Zining.

Xia Zining pursed her tender lips, not daring to refute the Great Elder’s orders. She carried a rectangular box over a meter long from one of the carriages. Judging by her bitten lip, the box seemed quite heavy.

After seeing Xia Zining carry the rectangular box down from the carriage, the Great Elders paid her no more heed and moved on by themselves. With great effort, Xia Zining followed behind carrying the box, and while the other two Qingyun Sect female disciples felt some sympathy, they dared not help her and instead whispered among themselves behind her back.

"Xia Zining should never have meddled in the first place. Why did she have to lend her sword to that person who was with Qin Yi? Now see, she’s the one the Great Elders are taking their rage out on. Her days in Qingyun Sect won’t be easy from here on out."

"I’ve heard some news inside Qingyun Sect. Once this birthday celebration for Guiyuan Sect’s Sect Leader is over, the Great Elders plan to take action against Xia Zining. It is said they intend to make her their female slave and have their way with her."

"Let’s not discuss such things. If the Great Elders overhear us, the two of us may well share the same fate as Xia Zining."

...

However, coincidentally or not, the conversation of these two Qingyun Sect female disciples was overheard by Ye Chenfeng and his group not far behind them.

Ye Chenfeng and his group had arrived at the Guiyuan Sect square in a carriage just as the Great Elder scolded Xia Zining. Their carriage had stopped right beside Qingyun Sect’s. As Ye Chenfeng and his companions had not yet disembarked, Qin Baiyan and the Great Elders had no chance to notice them.

"Boss, are you preparing to play the hero saving the damsel?" Qin Yi, unable to contain himself, asked when he saw Ye Chenfeng’s gaze following the struggling Xia Zining. Ever since he cut ties with Qingyun Sect, he had constantly reminded himself he was no longer part of it, allowing him to face his father and the Qingyun Sect with such indifference.

"This matter started because of me. If a decent woman is to be defiled by those five old bastards, do you think I could live with myself?" Ye Chenfeng shrugged as he spoke.

"Chenfeng, could it be that you’ve taken a fancy to that female disciple? Otherwise, brother, shall I go and put in a word for you?" Sun Hengfei asked nonchalantly, still unaware of the incident that had occurred between Ye Chenfeng and Qin Yi at the Qingyun Sect.

"Heng Fei, do you think Chenfeng is like you, unable to move his feet when he sees a beautiful woman?" Sun Xiaoli said coldly.

After that, Qin Yi told Sun Hengfei and Sun Xiaoli about the incident that happened at the Qingyun Sect, and only then did they understand why Ye Chenfeng had been watching that female disciple from Qingyun Sect.

Sun Hengfei glanced at Sun Boyi and others who were catching up with old acquaintances in the distance. He asked, "Chenfeng, do you want me to speak to Grandfather and the others?"

"There’s no need, can’t we handle such a trivial matter ourselves?" Ye Chenfeng walked straight toward Xia Zining, who was struggling with a heavy box.

"Damn, how is it that whatever Chenfeng says always sounds so cool? It looks like Chenfeng will be my role model from now on," Sun Hengfei couldn’t help saying.

"Heng Fei, Chenfeng has the capital to be cool, which you don’t," Sun Xiaoli said, casting a glance at Sun Hengfei, then followed behind Ye Chenfeng.

"Qin Yi, am I really that bad?" Sun Hengfei asked, not convinced, looking at Qin Yi next to him.

Qin Yi nodded and said, "If you compare yourself with the boss, then you are indeed no small degree of bad." freēnovelkiss.com

Having said that, Qin Yi also followed along.

Xia Zining, who was tirelessly carrying the heavy box, suddenly felt someone grab her arm. When she saw that it was Ye Chenfeng who had grabbed her, a hint of surprise flashed covertly in her eyes, and she asked somewhat shyly, "It’s you? What are you doing here?"

"Throw down the box in your hands. It’s because you lent me your sword last time that those five old men made things difficult for you, isn’t it? You don’t need to stay at Qingyun Sect any longer. Are you interested in joining the Zhentian Sect?" Ye Chenfeng looked at Xia Zining and asked.

"Ah?" Xia Zining suddenly felt overwhelmed. Ever since she first met Ye Chenfeng, she had been thinking about this man she had only met once. She had a strong premonition that this man should have the capability to help her achieve something in her heart that she couldn’t accomplish on her own.

Seeing Xia Zining not saying a word, Ye Chenfeng snatched the box from her hands and without hesitation threw it on the ground. There was a "crack~" sound from the box—the contents must have been very fragile.

The two female disciples from Qingyun Sect, who were walking behind Xia Zining, saw Ye Chenfeng suddenly appear. Then, when Ye Chenfeng decisively destroyed the gift intended for the Guiyuan Sect Leader, and Qin Baiyan and the Great Elder seemed not to have noticed, the two women knew they had to warn the Sect Leader and the Great Elders. They didn’t want to bear the brunt of the Great Elders’ fury.

Therefore, the two female disciples ran up to the Sect Leader and the Great Elders, blocking their path. Just as the Great Elder was becoming impatient and was about to scold them, one of the disciples pointed behind them.

When Qin Baiyan and the Great Elders turned their heads, they saw Ye Chenfeng holding Xia Zining’s arm, and their prepared gift smashed, their faces turned ugly, especially the Great Elder who harbored a deep grudge against Ye Chenfeng.

However, when the Great Elders saw Qin Yi standing behind Ye Chenfeng, their faces revealed a trace of relief. After all, it was the son of the Guiyuan Sect Leader who had personally asked them to bring Qin Yi along to the event. They had been worried about how to explain to the Guiyuan Sect, but now that Qin Yi had shown up of his own accord, it saved them from a worrisome issue.

Seeing the gift for the birthday congratulation shattered, the Great Elder’s face showed a trace of a sinister smile. He walked within two meters of Ye Chenfeng—he had experienced Ye Chenfeng’s terrifying strength before—and said indignantly, "Young man, aren’t you being too excessive? This is the gift from our Qingyun Sect to the Guiyuan Sect Leader. Now that you have smashed it, are you showing contempt for the Guiyuan Sect? Did you come here to deliberately cause trouble in the Guiyuan Sect?"

The implication in the Great Elder’s words could not be clearer—he wanted to incite the dissatisfaction of the Guiyuan Sect against Ye Chenfeng, thereby making the Guiyuan Sect take action against Ye Chenfeng.(To be continued.
