#1227 - Chapter 1227 Ye Kong Counterattack

But, obviously, Ye Kong's loud accusation was useless. Zhang Tie immediately took Ye Kong to the celebration banquet.

Although this time was not suitable for attending a celebration banquet, it was said that people from Yunbian Town had specifically come and requested that Ye Kong must go.

People from Yunbian Town?

Ye Kong vaguely had a guess. Following Zhang Tie, he heard the silver bell-like laughter of a woman coming from the other courtyard from afar.

Ye Kong quickened his pace and walked in, seeing the twelve people who had gone to Yunbian Town together at the time. Everyone was sitting askew, drinking and talking happily. Shen Fan Shuang was holding a strange woman, not knowing what she was saying. The laughter just now came from this woman.

Seeing Ye Kong come in, everyone looked up, staring at Ye Kong, especially the woman beside Shen Fan Shuang. Seeing Ye Kong, her eyes were shining. She immediately ran over two steps and asked, leaning her face close, "You are Ye Kong?"

When the woman approached, Ye Kong smelled a fierce scent of ancient mountain forests, exactly the same as the scent of the Misty Forest!

"It's me. Who are you?" Ye Kong asked, taking a step back.

The woman leaned closer again, "You don't recognize me? Then you know Bai Zhi, right? He is my father."

So it was the daughter of Third Elder Bai.

However, since the transaction had already been completed, what was she here for?

Ye Kong asked with a smile, "How did you come to the Tai Chu Academy?"

"Of course, I came to find you!" The woman said while laughing.

"Find me?" Ye Kong was puzzled.

"Yes, find you to get married!" The woman's words shocked everyone present. Even Zhang Tie behind him almost bit his tongue, "What did you say? Get married?"

"Yes, Father said that Ye Kong of the Tai Chu Academy is my future husband, so I came here specifically to find him!" The woman's eyes kept turning, seemingly sincere, but everyone present still felt that she was joking.

The woman had already expected this reaction from everyone and immediately asked, "Ye Kong is the first person to come out of the Misty Forest, right?"

"Yes, but not entirely," Su Ming supplemented from behind, "Several of us came out of the Misty Forest together. It can't be counted solely on this!"

"Of course, I know that this is just the first step to becoming my husband. The most crucial thing is, Ye Kong is the only one who obtained the Cloud Spirit Orb in the secret chamber of the Bai Clan's ancestral hall, right?" When the woman asked this, everyone's eyes turned to Ye Kong. Obviously, Ye Kong was the only one who obtained the Cloud Spirit Orb.

"That's it." The woman took out the Bai Clan's ancestral hall's proclamation scroll for everyone to see, a new article added after the new patriarch took office decades ago.

"Whoever obtains the Cloud Spirit Orb shall be the husband of my Bai Clan's Spirit Maiden."

The Bai Clan has always only had male infants. Decades ago, by chance, the Upper Realm sent the Bai Clan the only female infant, who is the Spirit Maiden Ling Li.

The Spirit Maiden Ling Li was raised by Third Elder Bai from a young age. Later, she ventured into the human world, acting chivalrously everywhere, and had not returned for many years. She had seen countless people along the way, but most were ordinary. This time, she returned to Yunbian Town after hearing that someone had obtained the Cloud Spirit Orb, and the Upper Realm had bestowed upon her a destined marriage, so she came specifically to seek it.

On the way from Yunbian Town to the Tai Chu Academy, Ling Li had been hearing about Ye Kong's deeds, especially in the recently concluded sect-level ranking competition, where Ye Kong won the championship in one fell swoop, killing everyone in all directions. His heroic and divine appearance left a great impression in her heart.

Upon seeing him this time, Ye Kong's handsome and unparalleled face instantly struck Ling Li's heart, which also aroused her determination to obtain him.

Moreover, there are countless people who have obtained the Cloud Spirit Orb, and it does not necessarily point to me. I believe that the lady will definitely find a satisfactory husband who is very compatible with you."

Hearing Ye Kong say all this, Ling Li only heard the last sentence, looking at Ye Kong with eager eyes, "You don't want to?"

It's not a matter of wanting or not wanting, but as things stand now, Ye Kong should take the world as his responsibility and has already put matters of love aside.

If it were before, he could have prevaricated with a few words, Ye Kong would not have been so serious. But looking at Ling Li's earnest eyes, this planned game can only be stopped in time if it is decisive.

Ye Kong could only look at the woman, "Yes, I have no intention of getting married."

Ling Li was aggrieved and about to cry. Her eyes turned, and tears fell like broken pearl necklaces, falling to the ground with a pattering sound. "But you don't know, if it's not you, no one else can!"

"Why?" Ye Kong had never heard of such a reason, "Besides me, you can find more and better people."

"If you don't want to, then forget it. There's no need to push me to someone else!" The woman pushed Ye Kong away while crying angrily and ran out.

Leaving Ye Kong standing in place, at a loss.

The people inside also looked at each other in dismay. Qi Shan reminded Ye Kong, "Go after her quickly. The Tai Chu Academy is full of mechanisms. Don't let Ling Li encounter any danger."

Hearing this, Ye Kong turned around and ran out.

After hearing that Ling Li had come specifically to force a marriage, the smile on Shen Fan Shuang's face froze. Everyone's celebration banquet also ended here, and they all ran out to find Ling Li.

Ling Li specifically sealed her own spiritual power, and Ye Kong could not obtain Ling Li's specific location through his divine sense.

Until dark, Ling Li's figure was not found.

Because Ye Kong had to continue participating in the ranking competition for the 'Di' character elders, Zhang Tie and Gongsun Qing led the team, divided into two teams, one team searching inside the Tai Chu Academy, and one team searching outside the Tai Chu Academy.

Involving Ye Kong's private affairs, everyone did not publicize it too much.

Ye Kong continued to compete with the remaining four elders.

After Elder Jin came to the stage, he saw Ye Kong's depressed appearance, knowing that Ye Kong was afraid, so he no longer concealed it and turned around and struck Ye Kong with a palm.

Ye Kong thought about Ling Li's matter and did not concentrate. By the time he noticed, Elder Jin's palm had already struck straight over. Ye Kong took a few steps back. Just as he was about to raise his hand to resist, he had already taken this palm and was heavily knocked to the ground. Ye Kong covered his shoulder, feeling that his shoulder bone was about to shatter.

It seems that Ye Kong is just like that! Elder Jin began to use killing moves everywhere, not leaving anyone alive with every move, and began to bombard Ye Kong. Ye Kong was caught off guard, unable to defend, and retreated steadily until he retreated to the edge of the arena.

The people under the stage were stunned. This Ye Kong was completely different from the high-spirited power user in the morning. What happened?

Could it be that Elder Jin is so powerful that Ye Kong is just a paper tiger, vulnerable to a single blow?

The people below shouted "Come on!" for Ye Kong.

"Ye Kong, come on!"

Ye Kong struggled to get up and pushed hard, and a golden light burst out.

Ye Kong is about to counterattack!
