686 Confrontation

“What! He’s the Heaven Mending Deity, Ye Qiu?”

Everyone’s expressions instantly changed. No one expected that the person in the crowd who was so reserved and low-key was actually the legendary Heaven Mending Deity, Ye Qiu.

Everyone might not believe it. As the Deity, their impression should be of a genius who was proud and aloof. However, Ye Qiu’s performance was so calm that he didn’t say a word from beginning to end.

For a moment, everyone looked over and seriously sized up Ye Qiu. To be honest, if Ye Qingxuan hadn’t reminded them, they wouldn’t have even noticed Ye Qiu standing beside Ming Yue.

“How strange. This person’s aura seems to have been completely restrained and fused with nature, fusing with the surrounding environment. Such hidden intent makes one feel a chill run down their spine.” In the crowd, a peerless woman commented seriously.

She silently followed behind Ling Tian. It was not difficult to tell that she had a very close relationship with Ling Tian. Her eyes were clear like the sea of stars. She had the ability to see through pearls and could tell at a glance that Ye Qiu wasn’t simple.

Coupled with Ye Qingxuan’s every move just now, it was not difficult to tell that Ye Qingxuan had deliberately set this up. She couldn’t help but worry. Seeing that Ye Qingxuan and Ling Tian were more or less at odds, she hurriedly tugged at his clothes.

“Tian, don’t act rashly. This person’s strength is not inferior to ours. Moreover, he has a high status. It’s disadvantageous to us to be his enemy.” She tried to persuade him, but she did not know that her words had stimulated the fighting spirit in Ling Tian’s heart.

As the guardian of the Goddess, how could he lose face in front of his goddess? Moreover, in the past ten years of seclusion, his confidence had soared and he thought that he would not lose to anyone.

Then, he looked coldly at Ye Qingxuan and said, “Ye Qingxuan, don’t give me that. What bullsh*t Deity? I don’t admit it.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere instantly reached a climax. Everyone’s expressions changed drastically. They took a deep breath and the atmosphere gradually became tense.

“Good lord, does Ling Tian want to directly challenge the Deity?”

Everyone was shocked. In the Heaven Mending Holy Land, strength had always spoken. Although Ye Qiu was a Deity, he had to have the strength to convince others. If he could not conquer these troublemakers, his position was dispensable.

“Interesting,” At this moment, Xiao Mo, who had been silent in the crowd, revealed a meaningful smile. The Lu siblings beside him even had the mentality of watching a good show.

In comparison, the cold woman in white at the back of the crowd, Hui Caiyi, seemed much quieter. She didn’t say anything and only watched silently. In the beginning, when she saw Ye Qiu, she wanted to come up and greet him, but when she realized that Ming Yue was beside him, she gave up on this thought.

These people knew Ye Qiu’s strength because they had already seen it. However, Ling Tian had just come out of seclusion and he did not know much. He had only heard rumors from others, but most of these rumors had some bragging elements.

“Haha! When Ye Qingxuan heard Ling Tian’s words, he couldn’t help but laugh. Good kid, I was just worried about how to provoke you. I didn’t expect you to speak first. Alright, in that case, I’ll add fuel to the fire.

“Senior Brother, did you hear that? I didn’t do it on purpose. It’s this kid who really doesn’t take you seriously. How can you tolerate this? If it were me, I would crush him to death here in minutes. Can I withstand such humiliation? If I can withstand it, wouldn’t I become a turtle or a bastard?”

Hearing this, the corner of Ye Qiu’s mouth twitched and his face darkened. Was this kid indirectly cursing him?

From the beginning, Ye Qiu didn’t want to tangle with them. It was all Ye Qingxuan’s doing. He had focused all his attention on Ye Qiu. In this situation, it really wouldn’t make sense if Ye Qiu didn’t say a few words.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu couldn’t help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He turned around and looked at Ye Qingxuan. He revealed a meaningful smile and said, “Good kid, you’re good! You want to play with me, right? Alright, we still have a long time ahead of us. We’ll see.”

Ye Qingxuan’s heart trembled when he saw the faint smile on Ye Qiu’s face. However, at this point, he braced himself. “Senior Brother, what are you saying? I’m just helping you vent your anger. How can you blame me?”

Ye Qiu was amused. “Haha, as long as you know what you’re doing. We’ll have fun later.” After saying that, Ye Qiu ignored Ye Qingxuan and stretched lazily. His entire body emitted an incomparably comfortable aura. “Ah! It’s been a long time since I’ve exercised. I’m really not used to it.”

Ye Qiu sighed with emotion. Then, he sneered at Ling Tian and said, “Looks like this Young Master Ling has a lot of opinions about me? In that case, how about we take a trip to the martial arts arena? Let’s see if I, the Heaven Mending Deity, can catch Young Master Ling’s eye.”

An incomparably cold aura instantly crushed over. Ling Tian’s body instantly trembled and he revealed a terrified gaze.

“What a powerful aura!” He was incomparably shocked, but he didn’t expect Ye Qiu, who hadn’t even reached the Heavenly Venerate realm, to have such a terrifying aura. He couldn’t help but hesitate. From Ye Qingxuan’s attitude, Ye Qiu’s strength was definitely not inferior to his.

And he and Ye Qingxuan were on par. Even if he could defeat Ye Qingxuan, he could only barely win.

Ling Tian momentarily lost his confidence as to whether he could defeat Ye Qiu. However, in the current situation, there was no way out for him. The people behind him were all waiting to see him make a fool of himself. If he admitted defeat now, wouldn’t he be indirectly telling everyone that he couldn’t do it?

“Alright! Since you want to play, I’ll play with you.” Ling Tian gritted his teeth and immediately agreed to Ye Qiu’s invitation. No matter what, he could not admit defeat at this time. Moreover, he hadn’t cultivated in seclusion for nothing for the past ten years. He came out of seclusion this time for the Deity position. How could he admit defeat in front of Ye Qiu?

Fighting Ye Qiu now was no different from three years later. It was just a matter of time. If he could really defeat Ye Qiu today, he could directly replace Ye Qiu. At that time, he would not care about Ye Qingxuan.

“Alright, let’s go!” Ye Qiu ignored Ling Tian’s provocative gaze. He smiled faintly and prepared to leave Star Picking Pavilion and walk towards the martial arts arena.

At this moment, the First Elder’s voice came from the door behind him. “All of you, come in!”

As soon as this voice sounded, it instantly ended this dispute. Ye Qiu was stunned on the spot. “Damn, it wasn’t easy for me to find a chance to show off. Why is this old man acting crazy again and ruining my plans?”
