Best Young Master

He knew that Zhang Taiyi was likely not going to engage in a life-and-death battle with Luo Xiaolin for the sake of the big picture, but the humiliation couldn’t be erased, and might even leave a shadow.

In such a situation, he had to say something to calm Zhang Taiyi.

Moreover, Luo Xiaolin had repeatedly humiliated the Xuanwu Sect just now; if they didn’t regain their honor, the Xuanwu Sect would not be able to stand in Tianyuan State in the future!

Therefore, he promised Zhang Taiyi to avenge him and reclaim their dignity!

“Ye Zi, senior brother is useless; the honor of the sect relies on you!” Zhang Taiyi said bitterly, taking a deep breath after hearing Ye Fan’s words.

“Haha… return it tenfold? That’s hilarious!” Luo Xiaolin said with mockery.

“Forty slaps, I guarantee not one less!” Ye Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, extending four fingers, stated one word at a time.

“Hahaha…”

Luo Xiaolin laughed heartily, then his eyes, like those of a viper, fixed on Ye Fan as he said coldly, “Since you are so confident, I will fulfill your ‘wish’—our match will take place today!”

“Exactly what I wanted!”

Ye Fan’s murderous intent erupted like a volcano, instantly lowering the surrounding temperature.

“Do you think I’m invisible? Since when can you decide on the match time yourselves?!”

Lei Bikuan’s face turned a bit unpleasant, though he understood both sides’ mental states, seeing Luo Xiaolin and Ye Fan deciding in front of him and everyone to advance the match was akin to ignoring his existence.

“Lord Lei, we want to have the semi-finals immediately; since it’s early, there’s no need to wait!” Luo Xiaolin respectfully requested.

“Lord Lei, I also feel the same,” Ye Fan added.

“Since both of you are eager for a match today, I’ll discuss it with the others. If the decision is passed, your match will be advanced. Now, return to the waiting area and await further notice!”

Deciding whether the semi-finals will be held today is not for me alone to say; I need to discuss it with everyone, and if the decision is passed, ”

Seeing that both of them were determined to have the showdown immediately, and noticing that Elder Shen and the Tianyuan Sect’s leading elder were also watching like tigers eyeing their prey, Lei Bikuan thought for a while and said.

“Alright!”

Ye Fan and Luo Xiaolin replied in unison, then glanced at each other before turning and stepping off the ring.

Seeing this scene, Lei Bikuan’s figure flickered as he swept to the opposite platform of the ring, while the leaders of various major sects, clans, and Zuo Fengshan gathered together to discuss how to resolve this sudden incident.

“Since they’re eager to proceed with the match, why not accommodate them?”

Zuo Fengshan, a special envoy from Jueluo Country, suggested, and his words carried significant weight.

“Elder Shen, what’s your opinion?”

Hearing Zuo Fengshan’s words, Lei Bikuan turned to look at Elder Shen and the accompanying elder from the Tianyuan Sect.

“We agree.”

Elder Shen and the Tianyuan Sect’s elder replied in unison.

The leaders of the sects and the clans also nodded in agreement, having no objections.

“Brother Chu, do you have any objections?” Lei Bikuan then looked at Chu Family Master Chu Yuankong.

“I have no objections.” Chu Yuankong replied.

“Good, since everyone has no objections, the match between Ye Fan of the Xuanwu Sect and Luo Xiaolin of the Tianyuan Sect will be held today!”

Upon hearing this, Lei Bikuan made the decision, his voice booming like thunder.

The square erupted into a frenzy, the audience overwhelmed with excitement.

Firstly, as per usual management, after the quarter-finals, participants typically rest for three days before the semi-finals take place, but today that rule was bypassed, and they no longer had to wait three days.

Furthermore, they all sensed that Ye Fan and Luo Xiaolin had not yet taken the stage, but the audience had already split into two camps, each refusing to back down, bickering with each other, yet barely stopping short of a fight!

“Who do you think will win, Ye Fan of the Xuanwu Sect or Luo Xiaolin of the Tianyuan Sect?”

“Luo Xiaolin from the Tianyuan Sect will win for sure!”

“Exactly, if Ye Fan of the Xuanwu Sect didn’t have absolute confidence in winning, would he dare say he would slap Luo Xiaolin forty times?”

“Exactly, if Ye Fan of the Xuanwu Sect didn’t have the absolute confidence to win, would he dare say he’ll slap Luo Xiaolin forty times?”

“Come on up, Ye, what are you waiting for?!”
