#970 - Chapter 970 Introduction
Taking advantage of the opportunity presented by the end of the previous match, Ye Kong leaped up and stood on the arena, facing Xing Chenlan.
The crowd looked at the suddenly appearing Ye Kong with puzzlement.
Xing Chenlan slowly turned around, a hint of fatigue flashing across his eyes before disappearing.
Seeing Xing Chenlan, who was about the same height as Ye Feng, Ye Kong's eyes softened unconsciously, and he smiled gently at Xing Chenlan, his warmth like a spring breeze.
In that instant, Xing Chenlan felt that this person gave him a different feeling.
"Cultivator, what are you doing?" Xing, standing on the second floor, asked upon seeing Ye Kong enter the arena.
"I want to compete!" Ye Kong answered Xing's question with a slightly domineering tone.
"The Ancestor had just announced the end of the competition, why does this kid still want to go on stage? Isn't he disregarding the Ancestor's words?" The people below the stage found Ye Kong's behavior difficult to understand.
The Star Gazing Pavilion's Ancestor Xing still held some prestige in the Holy Light Continent, and Ye Kong's baffling behavior was immediately discussed by the crowd.
"The competition is over, please return, cultivator!" Xing didn't give Ye Kong a chance.
"Hey, I didn't come for your granddaughter!" Seeing that Xing had rejected him, Ye Kong didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
The audience watching the show was even more puzzled.
"This brother, if you didn't come for this Xing girl, don't tell me you came for this old ancestor! Hahahaha~" One person in the audience jeered, and the others burst into laughter.
"Interesting," Xing Yueyao, wearing a veil, sized up the man in the arena who showed no interest in her.
The man's face was like spring mountains painted with eyebrows, cold rivers with focused eyes, green peaks with a delicate nose, and flying cherry blossoms dotting his lips, wearing a white robe printed with spring patterns and auspicious symbols.
"Rustle~ rustle"
A cool breeze blew up the man's ink-black hair and fluttering robe, making him look even more unrestrained.
The line of poetry she liked the most appeared in Xing Yueyao's mind.
"Zong is a handsome and unrestrained young man, raising his cup and casting a disdainful glance at the blue sky, as bright as a jade tree facing the wind."
Xing Yueyao's eyes focused on Ye Kong, unable to look away.
Ye Kong cupped his fist and gave a proper salute to Xing on the second floor, hoping to make it easier to ask for someone later.
"Since the cultivator didn't come for my granddaughter, then what is it for? Please tell me," Xing asked, seemingly teasing, as he looked at the ordinary-looking man before him.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Ye Kong's mouth; he was waiting for these words.
Ye Kong extended two fingers and pointed them straight at Xing Chenlan.
"Exactly." Facing Xing's question, Ye Kong answered without hesitation.
"Looking at your attire, you shouldn't be from Holy Continent. You came all the way to Holy Light Continent, just for my grandson?" Xing's tone became heavier, and his vigilance increased. He felt that Ye Kong's origins were unknown, and being only in the early stage of the Golden Core realm, he might be detrimental to Holy Continent.
Ye Kong used his divine sense to detect that Xing's vigilance towards him had increased, fearing that it would be more difficult to ask for someone later, and hurriedly explained.
"Ancestor, rest assured, I have no intention of harming the Star Gazing Pavilion or the entire Holy Continent."
"I am Ye Kong, the Peak Master of逍遥Peak of the Star River Sect in 連雲Continent. I have come here to find someone destined to cultivate and attain enlightenment on my逍遥Peak." Ye Kong announced his origins, and when he mentioned that he was a Peak Master, he was slightly proud. This was the first time he had used this identity outside.
"Ye Kong." Xing Yueyao recited Ye Kong's name. Compared to where Ye Kong came from, she was more concerned about the man's name.
"逍遥Peak? Never heard of it." Xing pondered for a moment, recalling that there was indeed a Star River Sect in 連雲Continent, but he really didn't know about 逍遥Peak.
The corners of Ye Kong's mouth twitched slightly, remembering that this was Holy Continent, and his reputation wasn't that great yet.
Ye Kong chuckled awkwardly, and there was a slight awkwardness in the atmosphere.
"Although my 逍遥Peak is still a small sect, with Xing Chenlan's joining, it will definitely be promoted and developed!" Ye Kong said as many nice words as possible.
"This..." Xing fell into thought.
Xing felt that Xing Chenlan had been in Holy Light Continent since birth and had never seen the outside world. 連雲Continent was indeed a good place, and it would be a good thing if Xing Chenlan could go there to gain experience.
But is this Ye Kong reliable?
Xing carefully sized up Ye Kong again.
"Grandfather, since this Peak Master Ye came for Xiao Lan, then let me test him," Xing Yueyao volunteered to say to Xing.
Xing Yueyao's cultivation was in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and her skills were not bad. It was a pity that she was a woman, otherwise Xing would definitely hand over the future of the Star Gazing Pavilion to Xing Yueyao.
Xing pondered for a moment, thinking it was good to let Xing Yueyao test whether this Ye Kong had the ability to take Xing Chenlan away.
"Ahem, seeing your sincerity and perseverance is commendable."
Ye Kong thought that Xing would let him take Xing Chenlan away directly, and his mouth cracked into a smile.
"However, my granddaughter and her brother have a very good relationship. If you want to take Xing Chenlan away, you need to agree to my granddaughter's request." As soon as Xing said this, the crowd below the stage stirred, wanting to see the beauty of Holy Continent's number one beauty.
Xing Yueyao, who was beside Xing, directly stretched out her arms and leaped down from the second floor.
Although Xing Yueyao wore a white veil, she was graceful and charming, as bright as light clouds covering the moon, as ethereal as swirling wind and drifting snow. A pink gauze dress made her look even more ethereal.
"Wow!" Every man under the stage was restless.
Xing Yueyao landed as lightly as a feather, exuding a natural fragrance that permeated the surroundings.
After smelling such a fragrance, the crowd below the stage closed their eyes as if intoxicated.
Ye Kong sniffed lightly and also smelled the fragrance on Xing Yueyao's body, and couldn't help but praise.
"Before speaking, her breath is like a secluded orchid."
The fresh fragrance was refreshing.
"Hehe, Peak Master Ye is joking," Xing Yueyao covered her face and chuckled, with the shyness that a woman should have.
Xing Yueyao's actions stirred the hearts of the rough men under the stage.
"Sister!" Xing Chenlan's clear voice rang out.
Xing Chenlan ran to Xing Yueyao's side and tightly grabbed Xing Yueyao's arm, like a clingy kitten.
"Xiao Lan, if you act like this, the Ancestor will say you have no manners again," Xing Yueyao was afraid that Xing Chenlan would be scolded by Xing.
Upon hearing this, Xing Chenlan released the small hand grabbing Xing Yueyao's arm and glanced at the second floor.
"Sister, are you really going to test him for me?" Xing Chenlan blinked his big eyes, afraid that Xing Yueyao would be injured.
"You should think about it carefully again..."
