Ye Chu naturally did not accept this person as a disciple. However, his actions had alarmed quite a few people, causing many to look towards him. Seeing this, Ye Chu could only avoid them. Originally relaxed, he cursed under his breath, thinking that this person shouting out would definitely make the people of the Rain Mist Holy Land suspicious. It would not take long before they realised he was still here.
Ye Chu moved with great speed, disappearing from the small town.
After Ye Chu left, some people who knew the middle-aged man burst into laughter. Looking at the comically kneeling middle-aged man, they said, “Have you gone mad today? Actually kneeling and calling someone master to everyone you meet. That little brat just now, can he really be someone’s master?”
“You lot know nothing!” the middle-aged man roared. Watching Ye Chu walk away, he could not help but stomp his feet. If these people had not been blocking his way, he would have chased after him.
Being roared at and reprimanded by the middle-aged man, these people frowned, not knowing why this fellow was so furious.
“He is Ye Chu!” the middle-aged man snorted, staring at the crowd. “Tell me, is he worthy of being my master or not?”
“What? He is the Ye Chu who caused a huge uproar in the Rain Mist Holy Land and escaped completely unharmed?” The crowd was doubtful and somewhat incredulous. But looking at the middle-aged man’s expression, they had to believe it.
“How is this possible?” the crowd wondered in their hearts.
But regardless of their doubts, the disciples of the Rain Mist Holy Land were alarmed. They grabbed the middle-aged man, reprimanding him and asking where Ye Chu was.
Ye Chu left the small town and afterwards tried his best to avoid crowded places. Better safe than sorry. If he was recognised again and there happened to be disciples of the Rain Mist Holy Land present, he would be in big trouble.
Fortunately, he had left quite quickly. Although those people chased after him at a fast pace, Ye Chu relied on his own strength to easily evade them.
Avoiding these people, Ye Chu strolled leisurely across the continent. Occasionally, he would take stock of the things he had obtained from the Rain Mist Holy Land. Apart from the stone zither, the purpose of which he did not know, Ye Chu was roughly clear about the other items, among which there were quite a few treasures.
In particular, some materials for refining artefacts made Ye Chu extremely delighted. He thought to himself that his Green Lotus could be refined and strengthened again. As his life-bound artefact continuously grew stronger, his own strength would also increase accordingly.
“This trip to the Rain Mist Holy Land was not in vain!” Ye Chu laughed heartily. The countless pills, in particular, made him even more cheerful.
“Without these pills, your Rain Mist Holy Land will probably have a headache for a while,” Ye Chu said with a chuckle. “Hehe, robbing a prestigious Holy Land like yours. If I tell others, it will certainly boost my face.”
Ye Chu recalled that when he looted the Rain Mist Prince’s palace, there were quite a few personal items belonging to the prince. Ye Chu’s smile grew even more peculiar.
After moving a thousand miles away from the Rain Mist Holy Land, Ye Chu actually took out a washbasin made of pure gold. “Bidding, bidding! A washbasin used by the Rain Mist Prince, starting bid is one tael of silver. No restrictions on humans or dogs. Do not miss out if you are passing by.”
After arriving at a small town, Ye Chu started the auction. Of course, hearing Ye Chu’s words, the people in the small town just thought this young man was crazy. Especially when they saw that the pure gold washbasin was being auctioned for a starting bid of just one tael of silver, they felt even more that Ye Chu had mental problems.
The villagers, hoping to get a bargain, naturally started bidding. Ye Chu watched them raise the price with a grin, but his gaze did not linger on the price. Instead, his eyes scanned the villagers.
When he saw a short, plump, and round woman covered in pockmarks and suffering from body odour, Ye Chu was overjoyed. He handed the pure gold washbasin in front of her and said, “One tael of silver, it is sold to you.”
Having said that, regardless of the woman’s reaction, he waved his arm, and the tael of silver in her hand disappeared, no one knew where it had fallen.
The woman took the washbasin and stared blankly as Ye Chu turned and walked away. Seeing this, the other villagers, envious of the pockmarked woman’s good luck, could not help but mutter, “Sigh, if I had known earlier that he was a fool, I would have tricked him into coming here.”
“…”
Many people felt regretful, and the matter spread from there. Very quickly, the surrounding areas knew that a fool had appeared in a certain town, taking out a pure gold washbasin which was snapped up by the ugliest pockmarked woman, and he even claimed it was used by the Rain Mist Prince.
As such news spread wider and wider, the Rain Mist Prince naturally knew who was responsible upon hearing it. His face turned iron-green with anger. He rushed to the village and happened to see the pockmarked woman hugging the pure gold washbasin, standing there foolishly. Drops of drool fell from her mouth onto the washbasin, and her body odour was so strong that he could smell it even from far away.
The Rain Mist Prince clenched his fists tightly, staring fixedly at the pure gold washbasin, feeling as if his face had been slapped until it was swollen.
This washbasin was something he used to wash himself with, a personal item of his. Yet such a thing had now fallen into the hands of such a woman.
The Rain Mist Prince waved his arm, and the washbasin instantly flew away from the pockmarked woman, shattering into pieces and scattering all around. Gritting his teeth, he said to the group of people behind him, “Chase!”
Everyone could sense the Rain Mist Prince’s anger. Although it was not overtly displayed at the moment, his tightly clenched hands, bleeding from the nails digging in, told them that the prince was on the verge of exploding.
The crowd could not help but glance at the pockmarked woman. Looking at such a rare specimen, they could actually understand the Rain Mist Prince’s feelings in their hearts. If it were them, they would probably also…
“This Ye Chu is truly despicable!” The people of the Rain Mist Holy Land were also filled with rage in their hearts. With the prince of their clan being treated like this, they also lost face.
…
The people in the town had originally thought Ye Chu was lying, but when they saw the Rain Mist Prince actually descend and become furious over a washbasin, they suddenly found it hard to believe. “This washbasin was really used by the Rain Mist Prince?”
The Rain Mist Prince chased Ye Chu all the way. But as this pursuit continued, the prince’s expression grew increasingly gloomy. He did not even realise his nails were digging deeply into his palms. Gritting his teeth, there were flames of fury seemingly burning in his eyes.
Along the way, Ye Chu took out the personal items of the Rain Mist Prince to auction off. Although it was called an auction, it was actually just insulting the Rain Mist Prince.
Not to mention the washbasin, his bed mattress was actually given by Ye Chu to an incontinent crazy woman. When he saw the mattress, the crazy woman was hugging it and giggling foolishly, drool flowing everywhere.
His upper garment was given by Ye Chu to several sleazy older women. The sleazy older women were smelling the scent on it, and the sight was as disgusting as it could possibly be.
His close-fitting clothes were actually wrapped around dog food and thrown into a pack of mad dogs. When the Rain Mist Prince arrived, he saw a pack of mad dogs tearing his close-fitting clothes to shreds, with fragments scattered everywhere.
Various other disgusting and insulting acts continued. As he chased Ye Chu all the way, Ye Chu kept insulting him.
But this was not the most disgusting thing, nor the most unacceptable. It was that after arriving at a city, he actually saw his underwear…
Unable to bear it, the Rain Mist Prince spat out a mouthful of blood directly from sheer anger.
