Best Young Master

“Brother Ye, this is what happened…”

Tong Qianchen described the events in detail from beginning to end to Ye Fan, not missing a word, including what was said during the incident.

Swish!

As soon as they heard Tong Qianchen say that they had threatened and mocked them, the disciples of the small sects’ faces turned drastically and became ashen.

At this moment, they all hoped Qingxuan would put up a stronger front so that at least their faces wouldn’t fall too much.

Clap!

After quietly listening to Tong Qianchen’s account, Ye Fan, without saying a word, began walking towards Qingxuan, his entire body exuding a murderous aura, causing the temperature around to drop significantly.

Hmm?

Qingxuan was startled, involuntarily taking two steps back, truly afraid that Ye Fan might retaliate against him without holding back.

“Either return the treasure medicine, or fight, choose one of the two!”

When he was less than ten meters away from Qingxuan, Ye Fan stopped, coldly staring at Qingxuan, his tone unquestionable.

His voice wasn’t loud, yet it was like a clap of thunder in everyone’s ears, sending chills down the spines of those disciples from small sects or clans who were attached to Qingxuan.

At this moment, the air seemed to freeze, and everyone was waiting for Qingxuan’s choice.

Faced with Ye Fan’s domineering stance, Qingxuan was filled with rage. He really wanted to fight Ye Fan at all costs, but remembering Luo Xiaolin’s fate, his heart turned cold.

Fight?

How could he possibly fight?!

He is the future hope of Qing Xuan Sect and must not die, and these useless ones around him can’t help at all—those people can bully someone like Zhang Taiyi, but when it comes to Ye Fan, they are practically useless.

Given Ye Fan’s strength, he could wipe them out as easily as playing a game. Moreover, Xuanwu Sect, as one of the Three Great Sects, isn’t afraid to offend these small sects or clans; if need be, they could simply annihilate them.

More importantly, the moment he chooses to fight, there’s no turning back; Qing Xuan Sect and Xuanwu Sect would irrevocably break, fighting to the death!

This would conflict with the ‘Three Tigers Fight, One Sect Gains’ plan set by his master.

Due to lack of strength, he didn’t dare to fight, and for the sake of the bigger picture, he couldn’t.

But even a clay figurine has some nature of soil; as the number one core disciple of Qing Xuan Sect, Qingxuan also has his pride. His self-esteem won’t allow him to bow his head and concede.

If he chooses to return the treasure medicine now, it would mean he’s afraid of Ye Fan, a result he can’t accept!

Qingxuan’s expression constantly changed, unable to make a choice. Both options were difficult for him, and no matter which he chose, he was unwilling.

At this moment, he finally understood the feeling that Tong Qianchen and Zhang Taiyi had just experienced. Resentful, humiliated, yet helpless.

Ultimately, reason triumphed over impulse. Qingxuan gritted his teeth, deciding to hand over the treasure medicine. He couldn’t completely sever ties with Ye Fan because he couldn’t afford to lose.

“Alright, Brother Ye is indeed unparalleled in dominance, I admit defeat, the treasure medicine is here, returned to its rightful owner!”

Qingxuan’s heart was bleeding. Perhaps there were only a few treasure medicines in the entire Tianyuan Secret Realm, and even if there were, it might not be his turn.

“Phew~”

Seeing Qingxuan choose to hand over the treasure medicine rather than fight, those small sect disciples attached to him quietly sighed in relief.

They really feared that Qingxuan would choose to fight, as they would be implicated if that happened.

Because they knew very well, Qingxuan was not Ye Fan’s opponent!

In the whole secret realm, if anyone could stand against Ye Fan, it would be Chu Hong, not Qingxuan.

“There’s also the Beast Core, that belongs to us too.”

Ye Fan wanted to push Qingxuan a bit, to see how much Qingxuan could endure. If Qingxuan chose to return it straightforwardly, then Ye Fan would truly not underestimate him in the future.

“Oh! Right, I almost forgot if you hadn’t mentioned it…”

Qingxuan, with a look of sudden realization, happily handed the Beast Core back to Ye Fan without any hesitation.

With his nature, once he chose to endure, he would naturally put on a better act. Even if his heart was bleeding, he had to put on a smiling face, not letting Ye Fan see any flaws.
