622 Crisis

"Damn it!"

Looking at Ye Qiu's smug smile, Ye Qingxuan gritted his teeth in anger. He couldn't hide it at all. Clenching his fists, Ye Qingxuan really wanted to challenge Ye Qiu now, but… he didn't want to take this risk. Because of the aura Ye Qiu revealed just now, it could be seen that he was very strong. Furthermore, he was so valued by the First Elder. He must be extraordinary. Without understanding the other party, Ye Qingxuan did not dare to act rashly for the time being. He could only suppress his anger and coldly look at Ye Qiu's smug expression.

"Haha, looking at your expression, you seem very unconvinced? Alright, I'm in a good mood today. I'll give you a chance to challenge me." Ye Qiu smiled and looked at him with interest.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's hearts trembled and they all turned their attention to Ye Qingxuan.

"Go."

Everyone wanted Ye Qingxuan to test Ye Qiu's strength. Only when Ye Qingxuan tested Ye Qiu's strength could they study Ye Qiu's shortcomings and flaws. It had to be said that the people present were not stupid. They knew very well what they had to do and kept stirring up trouble.

"Ye Qingxuan, didn't you say that you're a genius and peerless in history? Why are you afraid now? Charge."

Ye Qingxuan looked at them coldly. These people were very smart, and he was not a fool. He knew very well what they were thinking. They just wanted to use him.

"Hmph! Ye Qingxuan snorted and didn't reply. Instead, he looked at Ye Qiu and said, "Your Highness, you must be joking. My cultivation is still shallow. How can I dare to challenge you? I still have something to do. I'll take my leave first." With that, he turned around and left.

Seeing this, everyone was instantly disappointed. They thought that if they angered Ye Qingxuan, he would lose his rationality and attack with all his might to find out Ye Qiu's background. Unexpectedly, no matter how angry he was, he maintained his rationality and was not affected at all.

Even Ye Qiu was surprised by his performance and looked at him in a different light.

"Interesting. I've really underestimated this kid." Ye Qiu's heart trembled as he recalled Ming Yue's words. He felt a sense of danger. "No, no. This kid is pretending on purpose!"

All his immature expressions just now were fake. Ming Yue had once introduced that this person was extremely shrewd, a genius, and came from a prominent background. He was definitely not as simple as he looked. In other words, he was pretending just now to confuse Ye Qiu and make him look down on him?

"F*ck, this kid is a little smart." Ye Qiu suddenly woke up and sucked in a breath of cold air. He was clearly shocked. He had really underestimated the other party just now. Fortunately, he had come to his senses in time. Otherwise, he would have really fallen for it. Indeed, one could not be careless. Anyone who was inconspicuous or looked down on could give you the most fatal blow.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu's face darkened and he gradually felt a threat.

Ye Qingxuan was proud and aloof by nature, and he was extremely shrewd. He was very hardworking. Perhaps in the future, he would become a considerable threat to Ye Qiu, so he had to guard against him.

After a while, Ye Qiu already knew what was going on. Then, he looked at the surrounding people. Among these people, there were also many descendants of large clans and geniuses. He could not ignore them either.

"Hmm… Looks like this Deity isn't that easy to be. There are too many competitors. It's a hot potato." He sighed in his heart. He finally understood. From the beginning, this was the First Elder's trap. Isn't he too black-hearted? He actually thought of such a method to trick me?

The corner of Ye Qiu's mouth twitched. He could understand the First Elder's thoughts more and more now. This old man was not very serious. However, even so, Ye Qiu didn't feel much pressure even though there were many opponents eyeing him covetously.

In his eyes, only Ming Yue could really fight him. Compared to Ming Yue, they were much worse. Ye Qiu turned around and took a deep look at the peerless woman. He shook his head.

Seeing that there was no more fun to watch, Ming Yue remained silent and returned to her cave abode. Soon, the people nearby left one after another. Not many people dared to really challenge Ye Qiu because they also couldn't bear the risk.

Seeing this, Ye Qiu smiled faintly. Then… just wait and see. No matter what they thought after returning to Violet Cloud Cave Abode, Ye Qiu wasn't interested in thinking. He gently pushed open the door and heard a cold voice.

"Who?"

Ye Qiu's body trembled when he heard that familiar voice. He calmed down and said, "Lian'er, it's me."

"Qiu, you're back!" Hearing Ye Qiu's response, the white-clothed woman in the darkness trembled, her tone clearly excited. With a whoosh, she flashed through the darkness and pounced over.

Ye Qiu's heart warmed as he hugged the beauty in his arms. After closing the door of the cave abode, the two of them began to catch up.

At this moment, in the Qingxuan Cave Abode.

Ye Qingxuan was expressionless, his eyes filled with killing intent. He sat angrily at the stone table. Recalling Ye Qiu's smug expression and the mocking gazes of his fellow disciples, the killing intent in his heart had already erupted.

Boom!

He suddenly punched the stone table. In an instant, the table turned to dust and dissipated into the air.

"Ye Qiu!" A cold and murderous voice echoed in the cave abode. Ye Qingxuan had never suffered such humiliation. He gritted her teeth in pain when he thought of the man who was not inferior to him in terms of looks, temperament, and strength. He was terrifyingly cold when he saw Ming Yue looking at Ye Qiu differently from him.

"Hmph… Ye Qiu, just you wait. No one can take away what belongs to me. I don't care what kind of confidence you have. I will definitely make you repay today's humiliation a hundredfold in the future."

The hatred in his heart had already erupted to the extreme. He couldn't accept that Ming Yue's attitude towards Ye Qiu was completely different from hers. He also couldn't accept why Ye Qiu could receive such treatment while he didn't.

As the direct descendant of the Ye Clan, he was born to be a noble. It could be said that he had reached today step by step under the attention of everyone. Ye Qiu was a nameless pawn who had suddenly appeared. What right did he have to snatch everything that should have belonged to him?

For a moment, the entire cave abode was incomparably cold. The cold killing intent made one tremble.

Ye Qingxuan took out a treasure. It was a communication Dharma treasure given to him by his elders to contact his family. Now, he only wanted to figure out one thing, which was why the King's seal on Ye Qiu's forehead was so similar to his. It was because of this that he had his concerns and did not attack.

Before he attacked, he had to investigate Ye Qiu's background, so he wanted to ask the elders of the clan to help investigate.
