200: Chapter 200: Challenge 200: Chapter 200: Challenge It turned out, the ringtone of the phone was from the message notification system of the Huaxia Dragon Group.
And the sender of the message was none other than “Ancient Martial Arts Sky Feather Alliance – Ling Xiaotian,” whom he had just befriended.
However, perhaps Ye Haochuan came up with a witty response, which mocked the sender, bragging like a tough guy, which got the guy quite hot-headed.
The tone in the message was very unfriendly, full of swearing and even challenging to a duel.
Ye Haochuan, who had been worried about not having a chance to avenge Han Dazhuang, immediately replied, “I’d be happy to oblige.”
Afterward, Ling Xiaotian sent a series of angry emoticons and said, “You brat, daring to challenge our Tianyu Alliance, you’re dead meat.
Then, he sent a map similar to the location feature on WeChat, pinpointing the place for the duel.
Ye Haochuan checked the map for the designated duel location, which was not far from Haishan University, and sneered, “This idiot, just you wait for me.”
After arriving in the kitchen and sharing a passionate kiss with Han Xue’er, Ye Haochuan called Han Dazhuang out.
Han Dazhuang was quite baffled, but once outside the rental home, and informed by Ye Haochuan that they were about to take revenge, he instantly became spirited.
“Brother-in-law, where are they now?” Han Dazhuang asked, clenching his fists.
“You’ll know once we get there,” Ye Haochuan replied.
The two were then ready to take the elevator downstairs, but as the elevator doors suddenly opened, a familiar figure appeared before them.
It was Jiang Shuying, just right in the elevator.
At that moment, she was carrying various large and small plastic bags filled with household items.
Her dress was simple and modest, the epitome of a homey little woman, refreshing to behold.
Ye Haochuan paused, “What are you doing here?”
Jiang Shuying asked instead, “Master, it seems like we really have a telepathic connection, huh?
I haven’t even told you where I rented my apartment, and you’ve found it so quickly.”
Telepathic connection?
If it’s really that mystical, wouldn’t I have become a fortune teller?
Ye Haochuan smiled wryly, shaking his head, and gestured behind him, “Your junior mistress lives right here.”
“Junior mistress?” Jiang Shuying’s eyes widened in disbelief, thinking, there’s a junior mistress too?
Seeing her thoughts, Ye Haochuan glared at her, signaling her to watch her words.
Jiang Shuying immediately caught on, covering her mouth and giggling to herself.
Is the master being too flirty?
Han Dazhuang, standing beside them, was utterly oblivious to their coded conversation.
Ye Haochuan pointed to Han Dazhuang and said to Jiang Shuying, “This is your junior mistress’s brother, Han Dazhuang, also my brother-in-law.”
“Master Uncle Han, nice to meet you,” Jiang Shuying greeted sweetly.
Han Dazhuang was taken aback, then hurriedly waved his hands, indicating it was inappropriate.
Ye Haochuan also felt this form of address wasn’t quite right.
Although Han Dazhuang was his brother-in-law, he was also being taught martial skills by him, which technically made him a student just like Jiang Shuying.
Moreover, Han Dazhuang was hardly a few years older than Jiang Shuying, and her calling him that felt somewhat odd.
So he said, “Shuying, no need to be so formal.
Just refer to Dazhuang as ‘Brother Dazhuang’ since you’re of the same generation.”
Han Dazhuang immediately agreed, “Yes, yes, let’s just call each other as equals.
If you don’t mind, I can call you ‘little sister’.”
Jiang Shuying had no objections, and soon, she and Han Dazhuang were calling each other brother and sister.
“By the way, Master, where are you guys heading?” Jiang Shuying suddenly asked.
Ye Haochuan was hesitating about how to explain when Han Dazhuang burst out resentfully, “We were going to take back our place.”
“Take back our place?”
Jiang Shuying, who worked as a journalist adept at both overt and covert investigations, immediately understood what that entailed and clamored to join in the excitement.
“You don’t have any martial arts skills, what are you going to do there?
Just stay at home,” Ye Haochuan said sternly.
Jiang Shuying immediately looked aggrieved, “Master…”
Her voice was so coquettish that Ye Haochuan felt his bones lighten a few notches.
Having no other choice, Ye Haochuan then promised to teach her the cultivation method of the Longevity Technique to curb her eagerness to join in the excitement.
Jiang Shuying’s rented house was right next door to the house rented by the siblings Han Xue’er, very close indeed.
In a sense, Jiang Shuying did have a kind of tacit understanding with Ye Haochuan, which impressed him greatly.
Jiang Shuying’s rented house was still clean and tidy, though it perhaps lacked a bit of liveliness due to just having moved in.
After teaching Jiang Shuying the cultivation spell of the Longevity Technique, Ye Haochuan then rushed with Han Dazhuang to the agreed-upon place for the challenge.
Ten minutes later, Ye Haochuan and Han Dazhuang arrived at a deserted wilderness.
At that time, the night was cool as water, and all was silent, but Ye Haochuan, guided by his keen intuition, sensed a murderous aura in the air.
With a thought, Ye Haochuan activated his Perspective Eyes and looked out, only to see three figures hidden behind a huge rock some dozens of feet away.
“Since you’ve come, why not show yourselves?
What kind of men hide behind rocks, showing head but hiding tail?”
Ye Haochuan’s voice resonated from his Dantian, loud and clear.
A moment later, a burst of loud laughter came from afar, and as the laughter grew closer, three figures appeared in front of Ye Haochuan and Han Dazhuang.
The dim night light did not affect Ye Haochuan’s vision at all.
In his view, among the three men, besides the leader whose cultivation was remarkable, having stepped into the Postnatal Early Stage, the other two were insignificant.
This struck Ye Haochuan as odd, as after befriending each other, he could check the other’s ID information and the opponent should have seen his as well.
That someone in the Postnatal Early Stage would dare to challenge him, who was in the Postnatal Mid-Stage, was extremely bold.
Something abnormal was definitely a sign of trouble; either this guy had something formidable, or there were some other masters around to back him up.
Ye Haochuan remained alert, but after scanning the surroundings, nothing notable was discovered under his Perspective Eyes within a hundred yards.
Thus, Ye Haochuan refocused his attention back on the leader.
The man appeared quite young, about twenty-five or twenty-six, and had a very handsome face, although his complexion was somewhat pale, and his narrow eyes glinted with a sinister and venomous light.
Coupled with his spiky, mohawk-style haircut, he seemed quite rebellious and nonconformist.
“Are you the asshole with that ID name?” the man with the mohawk asked, his voice carrying a mocking tone.
Although the other had not yet introduced himself, from that sentence alone, Ye Haochuan was almost certain that it was undoubtedly Ling Xiaotian.
Hearing the other insult him, Ye Haochuan felt a surge of anger but chuckled hehe, “So you’re the guy whose head kinda looks like a badass, Ling Xiaotian, huh?”
Ling Xiaotian, annoyed, had originally had a rather impressive ID avatar, but it was ruined by that clever retort.
He shouted, “Since we’re from the same sect, let’s cut the crap and compete with our skills!
Hmph, dare to insult me, and I will beat you so badly you’ll understand why the flowers are so red!”
Ye Haochuan had long intended to teach him a fierce lesson and was about to make a move when Han Dazhuang came up indignantly and said, “That’s right, brother-in-law, it was him who maliciously broke my shin.”
Ye Haochuan’s gaze turned icy, and he spoke in a deep voice, “Don’t worry, Brother Dazhuang, after I deal with him, I’ll make sure you can personally take your revenge!”
