Chapter 892
Yu Shi looked at Yi Shan and his group, saying to him, “You all should go back. Consider today’s events as if they never happened.”
Yi Shan suddenly burst into loud laughter. “Is the senior using his status to pressure us? If that is truly the case, I am afraid you cannot afford to do so.”
“I have never placed your Qing Mi Mountain in my eyes,” Yu Shi glared at Yi Shan and said with disdain.
Ye Chu, who had been standing to one side, finally stepped forward. Looking at Yu Shi, he sneered, “An old man about to enter the yellow earth saying he looks down on others. Truly shameless. Be careful that after you die, someone digs up your grave and dismembers you.”
This arrogant, cursing remark made Yu Shi’s eyes shoot toward Ye Chu, his pupils contracting. Someone beside him whispered Ye Chu’s identity to him.
“So you are that brat who abducted the Tan family’s holy maiden?” Yu Shi’s pupils abruptly shot out a cold light, staring straight at Ye Chu.
Ye Chu smiled and said, “So you are that undying old thing from the Yu Wu Holy Land?”
“You…” Yu Shi glared at Yi Shan. For so many years, who had not shown him respect upon seeing him? Given his status, who would dare speak to him with such disrespect? Yet this brat described him as an old thing and someone about to enter the yellow earth. Did he truly think he had no temper?
Seeing Ye Chu curse at the other party so furiously, he also frowned slightly. Ye Chu was too arrogant. He did not know the identity of the person before him. This person’s seniority was too high. If he spoke, even he would find it hard to refuse. Yet Ye Chu actually cursed at him, calling him an old thing one sentence after another.
Yu Shi stared coldly at Ye Chu. In ordinary times, he would have long since struck and killed Ye Chu. However, this was the Tan family’s holy land, and it was inconvenient for him to act.
“Tan Long, do you still allow such a despicable disciple to remain on Tan family land?” Yu Shi said to Tan Long, “Let him leave.”
Although Yu Shi’s tone was one of consultation, it carried a few notes of firmness. He looked at Tan Long, indicating that Tan Long should drive this person away.
Being stared at by Yu Shi in this manner, Tan Long’s expression also became somewhat unnatural. The other’s status and seniority were both there. In the past, he had also taught him. With him speaking to ask Ye Chu to leave, he would find it hard to refuse.
“Senior, he represents Qing Mi Mountain in coming here. This junior also…” Tan Long had just wanted to say something, but the other party interrupted him with a single gesture.
“What of it? So what if he represents Qing Mi Mountain?” Yu Shi snorted with extreme disdain.
This single sentence made Tan Long’s words stop, and at this moment several elders hurriedly said, “Yes, Patriarch. What is the point of keeping such a character who does not respect his seniors? Driving him out of the Tan family is the proper course.”
“Yes, with Senior Yu Shi’s status, to actually be cursed at by him. Not striking and killing him is already giving face to Qing Mi Mountain.”
“…”
One after another roared out, each person speaking one sentence after another. Every single one was filled with righteous indignation, demanding that Ye Chu be driven away.
And just as everyone was acting in this manner, Yi Shan suddenly burst into loud laughter. “Truly amusing. He is merely an older generation member, yet he can make you all act like this. Very well, even if my Qing Mi Mountain does not have the qualifications, what if it were the Fu Sheng Palace?”
“Boom…” Everyone only felt a huge rumbling sound in their minds. Every person stared blankly at Yi Shan, their hearts shaken beyond their control.
What did Yi Shan’s words mean? Could it be that this marriage proposal was the Fu Sheng Palace’s intention?
The Fu Sheng Palace held a special status in the Qing Domain. Although it had never produced a Supreme, that one person from the Fu Sheng Palace was also an unparalleled expert. Even if he had not reached the Supreme realm, he was still a figure who could contend with a Supreme. In the Qing Domain, apart from the Emotion Sage, he was the most renowned.
Most importantly, as a holy land, the Fu Sheng Palace was absolutely much stronger than other holy lands. A holy land like Bu Luo Mountain could not compare to the Fu Sheng Palace even by拍马 (flattery/boot-licking).
Although the Yu Wu Holy Land was illustrious, possessed extraordinary strength, and had a profound foundation, it did not dare to put on airs before the Fu Sheng Palace. There were also rankings among holy lands, and the Fu Sheng Palace, occupying the Weak Water River, was undoubtedly among the most top-tier holy lands.
However, although the Fu Sheng Palace had relations with Qing Mi Mountain, would it actually step forward for Ye Chu? If that were the case, it would truly be troublesome.
Who would dare to ignore the Fu Sheng Palace’s demands?
Just as Yi Shan’s words fell, a coughing sound rang out. An old man walked out. When this old man walked out, even Yu Shi’s face abruptly changed dramatically, and Tan Long’s eyes widened even more.
“You are still alive?” Tan Long’s heart was incomparably shaken. He had not expected that this old man he had originally thought was dead was still alive. This person had been famous far and wide before Tan Long was even born. By now, who knew how terrifying he had become.
For so many years, there had been no news of him. Yet they had not expected him to walk out at this moment.
“Hehe, there are still people who remember this old man.” The old man stepped forward, walked to Ye Chu’s side, and stretched out those aged, withered hands. Smiling at Ye Chu, he said, “I truly did not expect that you could follow in your ancestor’s footsteps. Even more unexpected is that after touching it, you could still live until now. Hehe, not bad, not bad. Rest assured, this matchmaker I will certainly be.”
Ye Chu did not recognize this old man, but the other’s kindness made Ye Chu bow and salute, saying, “Many thanks, Senior.”
The old man patted Ye Chu’s shoulder, then turned to look at Yu Shi and said, “What? Did you say you wanted Qing Mi Mountain to get lost? I would like to see whether you, who back then luckily obtained a single fortuitous encounter and achieved some success, can truly drive Qing Mi Mountain away.”
Yu Shi’s face became extremely ugly. This old man was a powerful expert from the Fu Sheng Palace. People of this generation were already few in the world. Even given his seniority, he was still several ranks below when compared to the other.
His standing here was at the level of a living fossil. Back when Yu Shi had become famous, he had already retired from public life.
So many years had passed. Many people had thought him dead. Yet now he had actually stepped forward to act as a matchmaker for Ye Chu. This showed that the Fu Sheng Palace stood behind Ye Chu.
A single Qing Mi Mountain was nothing worth his regard, but the Fu Sheng Palace was different. If possible, he absolutely would not wish to provoke the Fu Sheng Palace. Yet now the two sides were in opposition.
“I have met Senior Liu Yun.” Yu Shi bowed to Liu Yun.
The other party waved his hand and shook his head, saying, “Old, not worth you calling senior. Soon I will be a character about to enter the yellow earth. I only hope to leave some resources for the younger generation. That would be the best.”
This sentence made Tan Long smile and say, “Senior, what are you saying? Since the senior has spoken, we naturally will not refuse. Hehe, Senior and all the colleagues from Qing Mi Mountain, please come in. Senior Yu and all the people from the Yu Wu Holy Land, please come in as well.”
Tan Long invited all these people inside. At this moment, the Tan family’s elders also did not dare to say anything. Since even the Fu Sheng Palace stood behind Ye Chu, who would dare to speak reckless nonsense?
A single wrong word could very likely cause the Tan family to provoke a colossus. Although the Tan family was strong, compared to the Fu Sheng Palace there was still a gap.
