Chapter 219: Competition of the Proud, Attention from All Sides! (Please Follow)
The old man pressed down on Red-haired Ye Fan's shoulder and transmitted his voice, "Calm down, maybe this is a test for you from Mu Cheng."
Red-haired Ye Fan was startled, *A test?*
*Quite possible.*
Ye Fan's angry expression faded, his face turned into a smile, and he said graciously, "Uncle Mu, it's fine, so what if Qingxue already has someone she loves? After getting to know me, I was confident she would fall for me."
"In all of Dragon Country, whether in appearance, realm, or potential, I was second to none!"
"Qingxue would choose the best!"
The young masters from all the Imperial Capital forces behind them all gave a thumbs-up—the Young Master was so magnanimous and confident, it impressed them!
On the side behind the high seat, Xiao Ye teased through voice transmission, "Mu Qingxue, in your fiancé's eyes, you were just some fickle woman. Tell me, after you spent time with him, would you fall for him?"
Mu Qingxue's beautiful eyes widened, and she angrily transmitted back, "Nonsense! That sleazy bastard didn't deserve it, him? He's not even as good as you."
She broke free from Xiao Ye's grip on her small hand and grabbed his soft waist, pinching and twisting fiercely—360 degrees!
"Tss!" Xiao Ye sucked in a deep breath from the pain.
Mu Qingxue smugly transmitted, "Serves you right for making fun of me, hmph!"
Mu Cheng's mouth twitched, *Here we are discussing important matters with your fiancé, and you two are busy flirting on the side—is that really appropriate?*
Facing Ye Family's Young Master Ye Fan, Mu Cheng said bluntly,
"Nephew Ye, you might be disappointed, Xue'Er's lover was even more outstanding than you!"
As soon as he spoke, Ye Family's Young Master and the others from the Imperial Capital's elite forces inside the hall were all stunned, then burst out laughing.
Red-haired Ye Fan thought this was the funniest joke he heard all year. After laughing for a while, he calmed himself and said,
"Uncle Mu, among the younger generation in Dragon Country, I was number one!"
"All the top forces recognized it—that was an undeniable fact!"
"If you planned to make up someone better than me out of thin air just to test and discourage me, it was a wasted calculation."
The old man who was staring at Xiao Ye, who was standing so close to Mu Qingxue, spoke out, "City Lord Mu, since you hold that young man in such high regard, how about letting him compete against our Young Master?"
"If our Young Master won, then today, let the Ye and Mu Families complete their engagement."
Mu Cheng's eyes lit up, "And if Nephew Ye lost?"
The old man shook his head, "Our Young Master wouldn't lose."
He hadn't even thought that far. For him, the engagement between the two families today was bound to succeed!
Red-haired Ye Fan also laughed and said, "I was on the road of invincibility. Since awakening at eighteen, I hadn't lost even once! If I lost, I would kowtow to him three times—how about it?"
The young masters of the Imperial Capital behind them weren't worried at all—some even sat back to enjoy the show, supremely confident in Ye Fan's strength.
After all, he was unmatched among his peers, the invincible Ye Fan of his generation!
Even the City Lord of the Imperial Capital City Lord's Mansion praised Ye Fan as a peerless prodigy not seen in a thousand years. In the future, he'd surely advance to the Saint Realm—maybe even the Emperor Realm—he might just make it!
Ye Fan had the potential to become a Great Emperor!
Mu Cheng stood up and said loudly, "Good!"
"In that case, you two shall have a match!"
The old man smiled, Ye Family's Young Master smiled, and all the young masters from Imperial Capital's elite forces smiled.
Red-haired Ye Fan said, "Uncle Mu, I have a request." Content presented by MV|LEMP|YR.
"Speak," Mu Cheng replied.
Red-haired Ye Fan looked at Mu Qingxue and said, "I wanted Qingxue to watch my duel with that prodigy up close. I wanted her to know that I was the number one among Dragon Country's young generation!"
Mu Cheng's mouth twitched, "No problem."
With everyone watching, Mu Qingxue immediately grabbed Xiao Ye's hand and led him out of the City Lord's Hall towards the virtual fighting arena.
Red-haired Ye Fan tried to greet her, but he was completely ignored.
Ye Fan's face darkened as he watched the two leave hand in hand, veins popping with rage.
Mu Cheng stood up and said, "Everyone, come with me to the virtual fighting arena."
He and Song Xi'Er led the way out of the City Lord's Hall.
Ye Fan, the old man, and the rest of the youngsters followed behind.
From beginning to end, none of them ever paid much attention to Xiao Ye. Whatever his status or realm, he couldn't compete with the Ye Family or with Ye Fan.
Other base city forces only dominated within their own city, but the four great powers of the Imperial Capital ruled the whole country—they weren't even on the same level.
Xiao Ye? Just trash!
Word that Xiao Ye would duel Ye Fan, the top young man in the Imperial Capital, spread rapidly through intelligence agents from every power, instantly stirring up a huge storm among all the Imperial Capital's forces.
At the Hong Family, Hong Dingtian was scolding Hong Tao, "You have one month. If you don't settle the national martial arts school licensing within this month, you can forget about being the Young Master of the Hong Family. Prepare your speech for the full clan—step down, let Hong Lie take over!"
"No problem." Hong Tao grudgingly agreed. Just two days ago, martial arts schools across the country were thriving, but suddenly received resistance from the various City Lord's Mansions, canceling their permissions to open.
The Hong Family's intelligence personnel came over to report the news to the two of them.
Hong Tao and Hong Dingtian were both stunned. "Xiao Ye and Ye Family's Young Master were fighting over a woman?"
The intelligence personnel nodded.
Hong Tao and Hong Dingtian became overjoyed, both of them visibly excited.
"Heh heh heh! Good, good! The Hong Family wouldn't lay a finger on Xiao Ye anymore, but that cocky bastard Xiao Ye actually picked a fight with the Ye Family from the Imperial Capital, heh heh heh."
"Xiao Ye was really looking to die, heh heh heh! Rumor had it there were several top Kunpeng Supremes in the Imperial Capital's Ye Family, and even a few Quasi-Saints, not to mention those at their peak in the Saint Realm."
"Don't even talk about a single Kunpeng Supreme—even two working together wouldn't last a second before the Ye Family crushed them!"
After some mocking, Hong Dingtian told the intelligence staff, "Keep tracking this—don't miss a single detail!"
Intelligence personnel: "Copy that!"
At Modu Academy, on the main road connecting the ten academies, a group of people were rushing out toward the school gate.
Cheng Yi and Yang Junming saw each other and both were caught off guard.
"You're going to see the fight too?"
"You too?"
"Of course! It's the number one among the young generation—I definitely had to check it out."
"Me too! I had to have a look at a peerless prodigy in action. Besides, if Brother Xiao loses too badly, I can at least comfort him."
"I even brought a healing potion—let's hope Uncle Xiao doesn't get hurt too badly."
The two laughed and went together!
Neither of them thought Xiao Ye would win—after all, his opponent was literally number one among the young generation in Dragon Country.
At Kunpeng Academy's residential area, Unit 1 Lake Villa No. 1.
After receiving Cheng Yi's message, Cheng Bingxi and Nangong Siyao excitedly dashed into Principal Yunxi's villa.
In the living room, the two girls bubbled with excitement as they said,
"Sister Yunxi, we got a show to watch! This was going to put Kunpeng Academy on the map!"
"Exactly! After this fight, Kunpeng Academy's enrollment was going to explode!"
Yunxi's stunning face stayed calm as she said, "Oh."
"What's all the excitement?"
"Xiao Ye was challenging the young prodigy who everyone called number one of this generation to a duel in the arena. What do you think, Sister Yunxi, want to come watch with us?" Nangong Siyao said excitedly.
Yunxi was unmoved, not interested, "You two go, but be careful."
The girls looked disappointed, "Aw, you're not coming, Sister Yunxi?"
"No," Yunxi replied.
"Alright, then!" The two girls said their goodbyes, heading out the door, still chatting as they walked.
"Can you believe that bastard Xiao Ye actually picked a fight with the Imperial Capital's top prodigy just for the City Lord's daughter?"
"C'mon, let's move, or we'll miss it!"
*Fighting over a girl again? That guy was always out there making trouble for himself!*
As Yunxi was about to go take a bath, hearing this made her expression change, and she called out, "Wait! I'm coming with you."
