C1940 Make Friends
The face of the head of the Skyfire clan couldn't hold it any longer after Xue Kai had exposed his lie. It was a good thing they were all clan officials. If they were outside, they would probably find a hole to hide in.
"Your Excellency, you really like to joke around. You have to know that my son's residence has always been provided by his son-in-law these few days. Doesn't this mean that this son-in-law of mine has a deep relationship with our Skyfire clan? " The clan leader forced a smile and continued.
Unfortunately, Xue Kai didn't give him any face. He slowly walked towards Jiong Yuan, who was behind the crowd. As he walked, he said, "The son-in-law you mentioned is called Ye Hongtian. He is a famous genius of the Blood Moon Sect in the Red Province. Ye Hong Tian escaped to the Central Plains after the Blood Moon Sect was destroyed by the Bai Family. "
"According to my investigation, the reason Ye Hongtian came to Sky Fire City was because he knew Jiong Yuan in Dark City. He was invited by Jiong Yuan and Jiong Yuan arranged a place for him to stay. It is reasonable."
"Then the question is, how did Ye Hongtian, who just came to the Central Plains to rebuild the Blood Moon Sect, get to know the second young lady of the Sky Fire Family and become the son-in-law of the Sky Fire Family? Can you explain it to me? Young Master Jiong? "
By the time he finished speaking, Xue Kai was already standing in front of Jiong Yuan. His last question was also directed at the young master of the Heavenly Fire Family.
Jiong Yuan felt a trace of pressure when he faced Xue Kai. He could clearly feel that Xue Kai was stronger than him, and not just a little bit.
"This..." Jiong Yuan didn't know how to answer. If he answered truthfully, his father wouldn't be able to get off the stage. And if he lied, he would feel sorry for Ye Hong Tian and make things difficult for him.
Just as he was feeling troubled, Ye Hongtian, who had changed his appearance, reached out and blocked between Xue Kai and Jiong Yuan. He stared into Xue Kai's eyes and said, "Please maintain a certain distance between you and the young master!"
When he said this, it sounded like Ye Hongtian, an attendant, was warning Xue Kai. However, Xue Kai heard it differently.
Xue Kai keenly noticed that when Ye Hongtian spoke, there were black and white laws flashing in his eyes. Xue Kai, who cultivated the dark laws, was very sensitive to these two laws, so he immediately recognized Ye Hongtian's identity.
After knowing Ye Hong Tian's identity, the meaning of this warning became a reminder, reminding Xue Kai not to push him too hard.
As the Blood Fiend Young Lord, although Xue Kai was very surprised that he and Ye Hongtian disguised themselves as attendants beside Jiong Yuan, he still hid his surprise very well and took two steps back.
"Actually, I don't want to embarrass the Heavenly Fire Family either. After all, the Heavenly Fire Family is a big force. Master warned me to try not to get on bad terms with them, but if you want to touch my people... I won't let you go easily. That's all I have to say. Farewell! "
Xue Kai turned to look at the head of the Skyfire Clan again. Regardless of the expression on his face, he spoke coldly. In the next second, he turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.
Before he disappeared, Ye Hongtian clearly saw Xue Kai smile at him. What did that smile mean? Ye Hongtian didn't know, nor did he want to know. In any case, as long as Xue Kai didn't affect his plan, it would be fine.
After seeing Xue Kai leave, the head of the Tianhuo clan heaved a sigh of relief. A smile appeared on his face again, and he said to the people present, "It was just a small episode. Don't mind it, everyone. Today's banquet is about to begin. You can continue to interact with things that are beneficial to the clan's development. "
After saying this, the clan leader returned to his room. For a short period of time, the atmosphere in the courtyard didn't return to its initial state.
Jiong Yuan and Ye Hongtian sat in a small pavilion outside the courtyard. Ye Hongtian had a mocking smile on his face, while Jiong Yuan had a taboo expression on his face.
"I didn't expect that Xue Kai, who belongs to the same generation as me, has already thrown me away for such a long distance. I feel that if I fight with Xue Kai, I won't be able to last more than five moves." Jiong Yuan looked at the setting sun and said.
"Don't mind it so much. Aren't we from the same generation? You can't beat me either. Besides, Xue Kai... I don't even have the confidence to defeat him. On the surface, he seems to be at the peak of the Awakening Realm. However, I keep feeling that he's hiding his strength. " Ye Hongtian patted Jiong Yuan's shoulder to comfort him.
Ye Hongtian's comforting words made Jiong Yuan even more depressed. Then, he suddenly thought of a question and asked, "How old are you?"
"Age? Hmm... He's in his early twenties." Ye Hong Tian thought for a while and replied.
Hearing Ye Hongtian's answer, Jiong Yuan's face was filled with astonishment. Then, his mood became very low, and dark clouds almost gathered above his head.
"What's wrong with you?" Ye Hongtian asked in puzzlement.
"Heh, you're only in your early twenties. I didn't expect you to be so young. I'm already over thirty years old. I feel like living ten years longer than you was all in vain." Jiong Yuan clenched his fists and replied.
It was common knowledge that a warrior's age could not be judged by their appearance. Ye Hongtian had never thought that Jiong Yuan was very young, so he was not surprised by Jiong Yuan's age.
Recalling his own cultivation experience, he had to admit that his cultivation speed was as fast as a rocket. But this was also because he was willing to take risks. If he risked his life to obtain all kinds of opportunities... He wouldn't be able to reach his current height.
"Don't mind it. It's only ten years. For martial artists, ten years is too short. We Awakened martial artists have a lifespan of ten thousand years. If we break through to the semi-sage realm, then our lifespan will be a hundred thousand years. If you work a bit harder, you might be able to catch up to me." Ye Hong Tian said with a smile on his face.
"Really?" Jiong Yuan seemed to believe it and turned his head to confirm.
"Er... maybe." Ye Hongtian replied guiltily.2
Jiong Yuan was amused by Ye Hongtian's guilty answer. He wiped away his previous gloominess and placed a hand on Ye Hongtian's shoulder.
"I don't care anymore! At most, I will focus on running my clan. If I don't have the strength, I can recruit experts. When the time comes, let's see who is stronger between my Sky Fire Family and your Blood Moon Sect!"
With a joking tone, Jiong Yuan and Ye Hongtian shook slightly together. They seemed to be in a much better mood.
Ye Hongtian looked at Jiong Yuan's appearance and revealed a helpless smile. Looking at the sunset in the distance that had completely descended the mountain, Ye Hongtian's expression became serious.
"Jiong Yuan, we... are friends now, right?" Ye Hongtian asked.
"Haha! Are you finally willing to admit that I am your friend? I have waited for this moment for a long time! I was afraid that you wouldn't take a liking to me!" Jiong Yuan patted Ye Hongtian's shoulder and laughed.
With Jiong Yuan's answer, Ye Hongtian smiled and murmured, "Only with sincerity can you be considered a true friend. Since you are a friend, you can't betray me in the future."
