BXBX NOVEL Chapter 141: You Are So Ugly!
He was so brazen! People would misunderstand that Ye Guan was the Chosen One.
Ye Guan seemed like he didn’t think things through by asking Old Fu to bring him to the Main Guanxuan Academy today.
“W-wait, Young Lord Ye,” Old Fu said.
Ye Guan stared at Old Fu.
Old Fu smiled wryly and said, “Young Lord Ye, didn’t you tell him to set the date?”
“I know.” Ye Guan nodded. “And that’s why I have to go visit him right now.”
Old Fu was confused, but he suddenly thought of something and asked, “Are you saying that he’s not confident of killing you at the moment, and that is why he chose to challenge you three months later? Perhaps he might learn a new technique in the meantime. Is that it?”
Ye Guan nodded in confirmation.
Old Fu stared at Ye Guan incredulously.
He didn’t expect Ye Guan’s actions to be so deep. He hadn’t even imagined it, much less thought of it, but Ye Guan had already executed this plan. It seemed that Ye Guan was gifted in both the sword and mind.
Just whose child is he? He was ridiculously talented!
Ye Guan sounded serious as he asked, “Senior, the Main Guanxuan Academy’s resources are definitely better than mine, right?”
Old Fu answered, “Of course.”
Ye Guan nodded and continued. “In other words, he’s going to grow by leaps and bounds upon arriving at the Academy. In addition, the Academy would definitely pour all of its resources into him. If I head there earlier, my chances of winning will definitely be greater than if I were to follow the schedule.”
Old Fu hesitated for a bit before asking, “How about you, Young Lord Ye? Are you not going to cultivate?”
Ye Guan thought about it for a while before he answered, “The best way to cultivate is to experience many life-and-death battles. The feeling I get whenever I’m one step away from death has never failed to enlighten me.”
Old Fu stared at Ye Guan in shock. He finally knew why the Chosen One and Ye Guan were archenemies. There was simply no place for two unparalleled cultivators in the same generation.
Only one of them could be the strongest…
The Chosen One’s heart would collapse if he failed to defeat Ye Guan. It would be an extremely devastating blow considering that he had to be unrivaled among his peers, considering his status as the Chosen One.
Unfortunately, he didn’t really have much choice. People were bound to expect great things from him, as he was the Chosen One.
Ye Guan asked, “Senior, can we go to the Main Guanxuan Academy now?”
Old Fu’s voice deepened as he asked, “Are you sure?”
Ye Guan nodded. “Yes, I’m sure.”
Old Fu stared deeply at Ye Guan and said, “All right! Follow me to the teleportation array, I’ll send you to the Main Guanxuan Academy.”
With that, he led Ye Guan into the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.
All of a sudden, an old man appeared in front of Old Fu. The old man opened his, revealing a golden cloth sack. There were three lines written on the golden cloth sack.
Old Fu was stunned upon seeing the words on the golden cloth sack.
“You are no longer the manager of Qingzhou’s Chamber of Commerce.”
Old Fu stood rooted, and he looked like he had gotten struck by a lightning bolt from out of the blue.
Ye Guan’s expression darkened.
Just then, the old man turned toward Ye Guan.
He glared at Ye Guan with an icy cold gaze and said, “Young Lord Ye, the Immortal Treasures Pavilion does not welcome you. Please leave, or you will have to bear the consequences.”
Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed. The old man was chasing away.
Old Fu grabbed Ye Guan’s hand and dragged him away.
“Wait!” exclaimed the old man.
Old Fu turned toward the old man.
The old man stared indifferently at Old Fu and said, “Manager Fu, the elders of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion have said that you must be taken away to the Main Guanxuan Academy in Xiaoguan!”
Old Fu went beyond pallid.
The old man mocked, “A mere manager dares to interfere with the Chosen One’s matters? You should have known your place!”
Old Fu ignored the old man. He turned to Ye Guan and said, “Young Lord Ye, my apologies. I can’t send you to the Main Guanxuan Academy anymore.”
Ye Guan sounded solemn as he replied, “I’m sorry, Old Fu.”
Old Fu smiled wryly. “I had no idea that the Immortal Treasures Pavilion had chosen to stand completely on the Chosen One’s side.”
Ye Guan fell silent. He thought the same as Old Fu.
Old Fu added, “I’ve contacted the Literary Department, but they still haven’t replied. I think you shouldn’t put a lot of hope into them. They must be in a dilemma as well after Representative Ye’s house arrest.”
Ye Guan nodded and said, “I’ll bring you away with me, Old Fu.”
“You dare!” the old man suddenly dashed toward Ye Guan and threw a punch filled with lightning. The old man was a Divine Tribulation Realm cultivator, and the power he had used in his punch made it obvious that he wanted to kill Ye Guan.
Ye Guan whipped around and faced the old man.
Shwik!
A sword pierced the old man’s forehead, and the sword continued flying with the old man hanging from its blade until it finally struck a stone pillar.
Old Fu chuckled bitterly. Ye Guan’s temper was quite hot.
Ye Guan turned to look at Old Fu and said, “Old Fu, you’ll suffer if you let them bring you to the Main Academy.”
Old Fu shook his head and sighed. “Where else can I go?”
Ye Guan fell silent.
“Ye Guan!” the old man pinned to the stone pillar shouted, “How dare you oppose the Immortal Treasures Pavilion?! You’re done! Your Great Sword Sovereign Dao Protector can’t protect you anymore. The Immortal Treasures Pavilion will also massacre your entire clan.
Ye Guan wordlessly glared at the old man with his eyes narrowed.
However, the old man wasn’t afraid. Instead, he taunted Ye Guan. “What? You want to kill me? Come and kill me! I’m a Golden-sack manager of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion. I dare you to kill me!”
“Are you taunting me?” asked Ye Guan.
The old man’s pupils constricted, and his heart jumped.
The young man had seen through his intentions.
Ye Guan glared at the elder and said, “I have nothing against you, and there was no reason for you to be so rude to me. In other words, you must be moving under someone else’s orders. The An Clan is ruined, and I have resolved the conflict with the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan. I wonder who else is targeting me…”
Ye Guan smiled and continued. “There’s only one left—the Chosen One.”
The old man’s eyes narrowed, and he stared at Ye Guan in surprise.
However, Ye Guan shook his head and said, “No, that’s not right! The Chosen One has agreed to my challenge. He’s not impressive for his status, but he has no reason to play this kind of trick. In that case, he’s not the one targeting me.”
The old man’s fist started trembling at Ye Guan’s words.
He stared at Ye Guan without saying anything, but his heart was beating fiercely against his chest.
Ye Guan added, “I killed a number of talents from the Guanxuan Universe on my way here, but most of them don’t have backgrounds that will allow them to intervene in the matters of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.
”I’m not an enemy of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion as well. Using the elimination method, only the aristocratic faction and the great clan faction in the Main Guanxuan Academy are left.”
Ye Guan nodded as if he was confirming it with himself. “There are two possibilities for their actions. Firstly, the aristocratic clan and the great clan factions are probably afraid of targeting me in the open because of the Sword Master’s reaction to my plight. In other words, they had no choice but to employ dirty tricks against me.”
The old man stared dumbstruck at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan chuckled and said, “Actually, I don’t think there are two possibilities; they’re killing two birds with one stone with this move, after all. Both the aristocratic clan and the great clan faction cannot produce another Sword Master.
”Since they can’t produce another Sword Master, they’ve decided to make sure that there won\'t be another Sword Master. After all, they’ve already gotten used to being the bosses. Why would they want another boss?
”In fact, the Chosen One and I are probably chess pieces in their eyes!”
The old man remained silent.
Ye Guan continued. “The rewards they promised you must have been spectacular, but did you even think twice about agreeing to their offer? The higher-ups of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion aren’t stupid.
“Do you really think that they will let you off once they discover that you\'re in cahoots with the Guanxuan Academy?”
The old man stared at Ye Guan for quite a while before eventually raising a thumbs up.
“Young Lord Ye, I have to say that I admire you,” said the old man. “You’re mostly correct aside from one thing.”
Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed as he asked, “What is it?”
The old man snapped, “I had no choice!”
Rumble!
The old man’s eyes flashed in a violent light as he started exuding terrifying undulations of profound energy. He was about to self-destruct!
Ye Guan’s expression changed, and he hurriedly said, “Hang on, I have a way—”
Boom!
The undulations abruptly reached a crescendo, and a violent explosion occurred.
Ye Guan grabbed Old Fu and disappeared a few hundred meters away.
He soon stopped and turned around to find a massive crater where they stood earlier.
The old man was dead.
Ye Guan’s expression turned ashen.
Meanwhile, the powerhouses of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion poured out of the pavilion and were stunned to see the scene of destruction.
They turned to look at Ye Guan at the same time, and someone among them shouted, “Ye Guan, how dare you kill an elder of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion!”
He then took out a transmission talisman and activated it.
Ye Guan fell silent. At this point, there was no way he could explain his side and expect that they would listen to him. He truly didn’t expect that the old man would self-destruct just to frame him. What a ruthless move!
Old Fu’s expression was dark as well. The waters of the Guanxuan Universe were so muddy that a mere manager like him couldn’t possibly wade into it and expect to survive.
Ye Guan was about to speak when a shadow flitted across the scene. The heads of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion’s powerhouses flew into the air as blood haphazardly spurted into the air.
They were killed in a split second!
Ye Guan turned and looked to his right. A woman was standing a few dozen meters away from him. She was dressed in a tight black skirt, and her very long hair covered half of her face. A blood-red sickle was in her hand.
Ye Guan wordlessly stared at the woman.
The woman smirked at him in response and turned to leave.
Old Fu’s voice trembled as he cried out, “Hurry up and stop her! Otherwise, the Immortal Treasures Pavilion will think that you killed its powerhouses!”
The woman didn’t even bother to turn around as she mocked, “Not even ten Sword Sovereigns can stop me.”
“Ugly bitch!” Ye Guan shouted, “You’re so ugly!”
The woman and Old Fu abruptly froze.
