Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the arena, the atmosphere was extremely heavy.
Yuan Jingfu was utterly infuriated.
His reputation and dignity was now in tatters.
How dare this kid disregard his words!
He took a step forward, and the platform shook slightly. Dust flew into the air and a strong killing intent enveloped Ye Chen.
“Brat, the duel was already a foregone conclusion. Why do you still have to kill him? Don’t tell me you deliberately disregarded my words?!”
Yuan Jingfu’s voice carried a trace of coldness. The audience were all on tenterhooks. It seemed that something even bigger was about to go down.
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed as he smiled.
“Who do you think you are? Why should I listen to you?”
“You’re asking who I am?” Yuan Jingfu sneered.
“I’m the referee of your duel. Isn’t that enough?”
Ye Chen glanced at him indifferently.
“Not enough.”
Some people chuckled when they heard this. However, the people beside them quickly covered their mouths, for fear of attracting unwanted attention.
Ye Chen was too daring!
He even dared to offend Yuan Jingfu!
“You-”
Yuan Jingfu could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.
However, just as he was about to attack, a black shadow flew out and stood between the two.
“Grandmaster Yuan, you are a famous grandmaster and a referee of this duel! How could you attack a junior!”
The one who spoke was Wu Xiangming!
Behind him stood the Wu family of Jiangnan Province, an aristocratic martial arts family.
Yuan Jingfu frowned and said in a displeased tone, “Grandmaster Wu, can’t you see that this kid’s personality is twisted? Furthermore, he disrespected a referee’s instructions. Therefore, he should be killed!”
Wu Xiangming shook his head and said seriously, “Grandmaster Yuan, this is all within the boundaries of the duel rules. Both parties signed an agreement. Although the methods used were a little overboard, it is still a sanctioned duel.” “Grandmaster Yuan, as the referee, why did you launch a sneak attack? You should be the one who broke the rules!”
Everyone present was afraid of Yuan Jingfu, but he, Wu Xiangming, was not! Yuan Jingfu’s face darkened. “Wu Xiangming, what do you mean by this? Are you doubting my credibility? Do you think you alone can represent the Wu family?”
Wu Xiangming snorted coldly and did not speak further.
“I’m warning you. If you insist on protecting this kid, I will speak to the president about this.”
“This kid has nothing to do with your Wu Family. You don’t have to protect him. Who cares if I kill him?”
Wu Xiangming hesitated.
He could see Ye Chen’s talent, and really did not want Ye Chen to die prematurely. Moreover, Yuan Jingfu’s behavior had indeed gone too far!
After pondering for a few seconds, Wu Xiangming gritted his teeth and said seriously, “Who says that this kid has nothing to do with the Wu Family?”
He turned to look at Ye Chen and said, “Ye Chen, are you willing to join the Wu family?”
When these words were said, not only was Yuan Jingfu stunned, but everyone below the platform as well.
Seconds later, countless envious and jealous gazes turned to Ye Chen!
The Wu Family was a martial arts aristocratic family! It had a thousand years of history and a very solid foothold in Huaxia!
Although it had gradually declined in the modern era, it was still an unshakeable giant!
If Ye Chen joined them, there would be very few people who would dare to stand in his way.
Below the platform, Chu Shuran’s face was pale. She looked at Ye Chen’s figure and felt regret.
If… If she had accepted Ye Chen back then, everything would have been different now. With the backing of the Wu family, the Chu family would definitely prosper and grow as well!
Jin Lengyan and her father also looked at each other and sighed.
They had planned to take the initiative to befriend Ye Chen after the duel, but it seemed that the Wu family had made the first move. Their Jin family paled in comparison.
Yuan Jingfu could not help but curse, “Wu Xiangming, are you actually going to take this piece of trash into the Wu family? What do you even see in him?”
Wu Xiangming ignored him and looked at Ye Chen with a burning gaze.
“Have you thought about it? As long as you agree, I’ll take you away immediately. No one will dare to touch you.”
From Wu Xiangming’s perspective, even a fool would not reject such a great opportunity!
However, Ye Chen curtly replied, “I’m sorry, that’s not necessary.”
Wu Xiangming was stunned, and thinking that he had misheard, he asked, “What did you just say?”
“I said that it’s not necessary.”
Ye Chen would not accept any invitation from any faction!
Yuan Jingfu was already a threat to him, so he absolutely could not allow him to leave the martial arts stage alive!
The martial arts arena exploded into an uproar!
Was Ye Chen stupid?
He actually rejected the Wu family!
It was the dream of many martial artists, yet he actually rejected it without hesitation!
Now, how would he deal with Yuan Jingfu?
He had dug his own grave!
Lunatic!
Wu Xiangming’s expression turned ugly. He had deigned to invite Ye Chen due to the latter’s talent. However, never in a million years would he expect to be rejected!
Wu Xiangming waved his sleeves and walked to the edge of the platform, saying coldly, “Since you brought this upon yourself, you will be responsible for your own life!”
