Chapter Thirty-One: Won

  "Ah, he actually won!"

  Everyone was shocked, everyone suddenly became quiet at this time, no one made a sound, because they didn't dare to believe.

  "Wow! Brother Ye Xuan is so awesome!"

  Ye Yun was the first to react, grabbing Ye Xuan's arm and smiling triumphantly. Ye Zhan also cracked a smile, his usual cold expression softened for once. Meanwhile, Ye Chen Tian and Ye Pan were left staring at Si Tu Ran in shock, lying on the ground. Today, Ye Xuan had saved face for the Ye family.

  Huang Mao also reacted and rushed over to pull up Situ Ran, who was sitting on the ground, stuttering and asking: "Old, old, old big brother, how are you? Are you okay?"

  At this time, the younger generation of the Situ family all gathered around. Situ Ran's swaying body was pulled up, and his eyes stared fiercely at Ye Xuan, mixed with a hint of shock. Just now, he was hit by that sudden punch, and until now, he still didn't know why.

  Ye Xuan smiled and said: "What's wrong, Situ Ran, don't you want to fight anymore?"

  Situ Ran's mouth twitched involuntarily when he heard this, damn it, does this guy still have the energy to fight?

  Actually, Ye Xuan was just talking big, he had already exhausted himself, he knew that Situ Ran was not much better than him, let alone the fact that he was injured, although his body was empty, but his momentum couldn't be low.

  "Hmph! Ye Xuan, you're lucky today, breaking through in the battle. But don't get too excited, I'll keep this account in mind, and when the tournament comes, I'll double it back, just wait!" Si Tu Ran gritted his teeth, enduring the pain in his chest.

  "And you, at the time of the tournament, our family will take good care of you." Situ Ran said with a vicious tone, looking at Ye Zhan and Ye Chen Tian.

  Having said that, Situ Ran led Huang Mao and others to turn around and leave.

  Watching Si Tu Ran and his group leave, Ye Pan raised an eyebrow and said: "He was beaten until he spat blood but still dared to talk big, next time I, Ye Pan, will accompany him to the end."

  Lin Dong looked at Ye Fan, his eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth curled up in a faint arc. Ye Fan saw Ye Xuan looking at him and his face instantly turned into a look of admiration, smiling and saying: "Ye Xuan, you're really handsome today! With your cultivation speed, by the time of the tournament, you'll definitely be able to knock down Situ Ran's brother Situ Hao!"

  Ye Yunbai gave Ye Pan a glance, and this guy's face changed quickly. He had even mocked Ye Xuan brother before.

  Mentioning Situ Hao made Ye Xuan's heart beat faster, and he actually had some small expectations for the competition.

  ……

  In the grand hall of the Xiheshi clan, in the middle of a luxurious sandalwood chair, sat an old man with a full head of white hair and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, wearing a dragon-patterned robe. This old man was none other than the current patriarch of the Situ clan, Situ Teng.

  In the middle of the hall, there were two people standing. One was a burly man with a scarred face, who was none other than the second son of the Situ family, Situ Xiao Ming. Next to him stood a young man wearing a black sleeve robe, with eyes like bright stars and a handsome appearance.

  Situ Teng gazed at them with a pair of stern eyes and said, "I heard that Ye family's genius not only recovered his strength, but also rose to the sky in one flight, and was beaten into a sorry state?"

  Situ Xiao Ming said with an unchanged expression: "The young man from the Ye family is indeed not bad, and he's not as fierce as everyone says. That day, he just happened to break through to Xingxuan realm during his exchange with Ranye, so they ended up in a draw."

  At this time, a young man wearing a black sleeve robe spoke up: "It's just that he has only just entered the Star Xuan realm, Grandfather doesn't need to worry about it."

  Situ Teng took a look at the young man, and his eyes showed some satisfaction. He smiled: "Hao'er, you can't relax your cultivation now. In less than two months, it will be the Competition Conference. Strive to improve by one level. Don't forget that ghostly genius from the Ye family several years ago."

  This young man was Sutu Ran's brother, Sutu Hao. After Ye Ziyan left the Ye family to gain experience, Sutu Hao became known as the number one person among the younger generation in Xihuo City.

  Situ Hao nodded upon hearing Situ Teng's words and said: "Yes, Grandfather, I won't let you down."

  Situ Xiao Ming said, "Dad, that Ye Zi Yan has been out training for several years now, and there's no news from him. Who knows if he's already dead, our Hao Er is currently the undisputed number one among the younger generation in Xi He City."

  Situ Teng sank into thought for a moment, then said: "Xiao Ming, you absolutely must not be careless. In these twenty years, the Ye family has developed into the third largest power, which already proves that old man Ye Wen is still very capable."

  Situ Xiao Ming said: "Father, but I heard that twenty years ago, it was the Ye family who offended a powerful force of the Lei Feng Empire and came to this Xihuo City."

  Situ Teng furrowed his brow and asked: "Oh? Where did you hear this news?"

  Situ Xiao Ming replied: "This is also what I heard from a monk in Shaonan County, and this monk came from the Thunder Empire."

  Situ Teng nodded and said with narrowed eyes, "Xiao Ming, don't trust just one cultivator. Send a trusted aide to the Lei Feng Empire and spread the news about the Ye family's influence in Xihuo City."

  "Father is indeed wise, in this way, if the Ye family really offended someone, naturally there will be people who will take advantage of the situation in Xihé City, and by then, Xihé City will probably only have two major forces left." Si Tu Xiao Ming said with a smile on his face.

  Situ Teng picked up a cup of tea from the table, parted the tea leaves, and took a light sip. He smiled and said, "Don't put all your hopes on this either. Even if Ye Ziyun is gone, doesn't the Ye family still have a genius younger brother? If their power surges again, I'm afraid they'll snatch away half of Xihewan City's resources once more."

  Situ Xiao Ming furrowed his brow, sensing that Situ Teng's words had another meaning, and asked: "Father, what do you mean?"

  Situ Teng stood up, paced back and forth in the hall a few times, stopped beside Situ Hao, looked at him and said: "Hao'er, you must remember that in future battles with others, never be soft-hearted. If you can knock down your enemy, don't give them another chance to get back up!"

  Situ Xiao Ming's heart skipped a beat as he understood the meaning behind these words, which was clearly telling Situ Hao that if he were to fight Ye Xuan, it would be best to cripple him.

  Situ Hao seemed to have also understood Situ Teng's words, and nodded in response: "Grandfather, rest assured, anyone who hinders the development of our Situ family is my enemy. My way of dealing with enemies has always been to eradicate them completely."

  Situ Teng heard Situ Hao's words and looked at him with surprise, then nodded his head in satisfaction with a smile.
