Chapter 87
“Nothing…”
Ye Chen waved, he looked like he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry .
“If what Master Tan said is true, do you think you can afford to make fun of a person like Master Ye?” Lin Jiao grimly glared at him . She regretted bringing him here .
Master Tan scoffed . “How can a narrow-minded person like you know how powerful the old man Master Ye is?”
Old man?
Ye Chen could not stop coughing . “Master Tan, you’ve never seen this Master Ye . How would you know that he’s an old man?”
Actually, Master Tan was right to call Ye Chan an old man . Ye Chen would be an ancestor if he was to add his age in the cultivation world on earth . However, he had always thought himself to be 30 since he returned to earth .
“What do you know?”
Master Tan scoffed and said in a serious manner, “Just like the saying ‘The one who discovers the truth should be the master’ . Age doesn’t matter in the cultivation world, the ability does . If I get the chance to meet Master Ye, I’d definitely bow to him with the utmost respect . ”
Ye Chen coughed again .
Lin Jiao shook his head and thought Ye Chen was just too irritating . He knew nothing but insisted to make his existence be known before Master Tan .
“Do you have a cold, daddy?” The little girl asked with concern seeing that her father kept coughing .
Ye Chen shook his head and smiled . “Daddy’s fine . ”
Just when Han Xu was about to speak, a commotion came from behind them . He saw that everyone stood up by instinct and made a path on their own . They looked at the dojo’s entrance with respect on their faces .
A middle-aged man with gray side-burns who looked majestic walked in big steps . He looked straight ahead as if he did not see the people at all . Behind him were four to five hunks that respectfully followed him .
“It’s Chao Tianba of the Chao family, a wealthy family from Diannan . ” Master Tan recognized the person with just one glance .
The crowd was stirred because of this .
“Master Chao is here!”
“Welcome Master Chao!”
“…”
Everyone loudly cheered with a burning desire in their eyes and respect on their faces . Facing the people’s passion, Chao Tianba expressionlessly walked to the nine old-fashioned wooden armchairs at the front of the VIP section and took his seat .
The nine old-fashioned wooden armchairs where he was sitting were arranged into a curve . The handles on the armchairs were carved with dragon heads .
Very soon, another commotion broke out in the crowd .
A skinny middle-aged man in a mink coat walked in with big steps . His imposing manner was extraordinary . Compared to the cold Chao Tianba, this person was smiling and nodding at the people .
“It’s Zhao Jinming from the Zhao family, another wealthy family from Diannan . I can’t believe he’s the second person to arrive . ” Someone exclaimed .
Zhao Jinming too sat on the armchair at the front of the VIP section . He subsequently looked at Chao Tianba who was across him with a cold gaze, while Chao Tianba returned the same cold gesture to him .
The people below the stage could not help but force a smile . It seemed like the rumor was true . The Zhao family and the Chao family were enemies .
Meanwhile, there was an old man in black martial arts attire behind Zhao Jinming . He had an introverted imposing manner . He closed his eyes facing the noise from the crowd and seemed to be resting .
“Is that Jade Buddha Hand who is well-known in the northwest?”
Master Tan’s expression changed seeing that person . “I can’t believe that the Zhao family hired him . It seems like they will win this martial arts competition for sure . ”
“Master Tan, who is this Jade Buddha Hand?” Han Xu who was next to them asked in puzzlement .
Just when Master Tan was about to speak but another commotion appeared from behind . Old Master Gu and Gu Yingying walked in at normal speed . However, they looked gravely serious at the moment .
As soon as Old Master Gu showed up, the atmosphere immediately peaked .
“Old master, you’re here!”
“Old Master Gu!”
The crowd greeted him with respect on their faces .
Old Master Gu coldly responded . When they were passing by the VIP section, Gu Yingying suddenly saw Ye Chen . She wanted to walk over by instinct, but the old master stopped her .
The old master nodded at Ye Chen in respect as he led Gu Yingying and took his seat on the armchair .
His actions caused many people to be curious . Many people looked at Ye Chen and the rest . Even Lin Jiao and Han Xu looked surprised .
They looked left and right, trying to figure out who the old master was greeting earlier . They felt helpless as they failed after looking around for a while . They could only forget it . Meanwhile, they had directly looked past Ye Chen .
Many people had come since the old master’s arrival . Ye Chen carefully counted and found out that there were nine bosses in total . It seemed like there were three wealthy families averagely in each province in the three southeast provinces .
However, Liu Chuang of Xiangnan did not show up . Nobody knew if his arrival was delayed by something else .
Ye Chen could not help but feel disappointed .
After the rest took their seats, Chao Tianba looked at the old master and said with a mocking smile, “Old master, don’t tell me that you’re going to fight for the Gu family?”
“Do you have a problem with that?” The old master coldly said .
Chao Tianba chuckled . “You’re the senior . I shouldn’t have any opinions on you . However, if you do fight, don’t blame us for beating you up later…”
“Old master, I heard that Fifth Master Liu would come to this martial arts competition . Not only that, but he has also announced that he would challenge your Gu family,” Lu Wanhui who represented Xiangnan said with a smile .
The three provinces of Tiannan were only at peace with each other on the surface . They were dying to see the others being killed .
“Don’t you worry about it . ”
Old Master Gu scoffed .
The grim-faced old man sitting on the right cleared his throat and said, “Alright, stop all this nonsense . Let’s begin . ”
Chao Tianba nodded and instantly stood up from his seat . He expressionlessly glanced through everyone below the stage .
“The martial arts competition has officially begun . I’ll say the same things I do every time . Even brothers of the same mother would fight, let alone people from three different provinces . Let’s take this opportunity today to put an end to this . We’ll fight with all our might, yield when you lose!”
The crowd was stirred hearing what he said . How could they not be excited to witness such a nerve-racking scene?
Lin Jiao turned her head to look at Master Tan next to her with her flushed cheeks . “Master Tan, when will it be your turn?”
“I’m going up much later . Those who go first are just appetizers, they’re too weak and don’t deserve to fight me . ” Master Tan shook his head .
At the same time, there were a few of them who sat in the middle of the dojo .
Ah Xue could not stop looking for Ye Chen with her eyes wide open . Jiang Lei, who was sitting next to her curiously asked, “Who are you looking for, Ah Xue?”
“I’m looking for Master Ye,” Ah Xue said without even thinking about it . She was rather curious about whether Master Ye would go into the ring or not .
“Master Ye?”
Xiao Qin was stunned while she chuckled out loud . “Do you mean Ye Chen? Why would you call him Master Ye?”
“How would he deserve to be called master?” Jiang Lei said with a plastic smile . He could not believe that someone called Ye Chen a master when he did not even dare to take up his challenge .
It was such a joke .
Ah Xue shook her head . “I’ve no idea, it’s my first time meeting Master Ye too . ”
…
An ugly young man in black martial arts attire took the lead to walk up to the ring as soon as Chao Tianba was done speaking . He pointed his finger to a direction below the stage .
“Get up, people from the Luo family . Our Du family is so done with you!”
