The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2138 - New Friends


Chapter 2138: New Friends

Grandmaster Tianbao was too ashamed to stay on the stage any longer. He flapped his sleeves and was about to turn around and leave.

“Grandmaster Tianbao, are you going to leave without an apology?” Lin Sheng said with a snicker. He was not afraid of offending Grandmaster Tianbao who worked for the Tianyi Pavilion and had no interests coinciding with him.

“That’s right. Tang Chen was merely a disciple of Grandmaster Tianbao, yet he dared to use violence against this master to force him to come to the Tianyi Pavilion. He was way out of the line. In addition to that, Grandmaster Tianbao attempted to murder this master just now. It’s not right to take off like this,” someone else said. He was a powerful cultivator who had some bad blood with the Tianyi Pavilion, which was why he spoke up in a sarcastic tone.

“That’s enough. Both sides are in the wrong for being thoughtless and inconsiderate. This is simply a misunderstanding. That’s all for this matter,” the Cabinet Master of the Tianyi Pavilion declared. Although he was on the same side as Grandmaster Tianbao, he didn’t dare to come down on Ye Futian right this moment.

He couldn’t recklessly affront Ye Futian, who had just proven his strength to everyone at the scene. He had to bear in mind that the cultivators from the ancient royal family were also present. They witnessed everything and might want to rope Ye Futian in. After all, Ye Futian was an Alchemy Grandmaster with limitless potential.

In the meantime, he needed to save Grandmaster Tianbao’s face, which was why he wanted to put an end to this matter as soon as possible.

“Misunderstanding?” Ye Futian said in a mocking tone, “You didn’t show any civility or respect when you went to capture me yesterday. I’m afraid that I would be killed by you immediately if I didn’t stand my ground. Even though there isn’t much I can do right now, rest assured that I will never forget about it. We can settle the scores later if you can’t account for your behavior.”

Ye Futian’s aggressive scolding put an uncomfortable look on the Cabinet Master’s face. However, other people around were secretly enjoying the drama. The Tianyi Pavilion suffered a major setback this time. Being resented by such an extraordinary Alchemy Grandmaster was not a trivial matter. Apart from his amazing alchemy skills, Ye Futian was bound to become a better cultivator than the Cabinet Master of the Tianyi Pavilion sooner or later.

This arrogant Alchemy Grandmaster was as domineering as usual. He insisted on explanations for the actions of the Tianyi Pavilion.

The Cabinet Master stared at Ye Futian with a grim face. He said, “What do you want me to do?”

“Do you need to ask me?” Even though Ye Futian was wearing a mask, his unflinching gaze was making the Cabinet Master feel very unease.

The Cabinet Master was tongue-tied. An awkward silence followed.

Everyone understood that the Cabinet Master of the Tianyi Pavilion was unable to extricate himself from this difficult situation. If he took a stand against Ye Futian, the ill feelings between them would only become worse. But if he gave in, he would lose respect from others. On top of that, what should he do with Grandmaster Tianbao?

Could he ask Grandmaster Tianbao to leave the Tianyi Pavilion?

It was hard for him to make up his mind to lose an Alchemy Grandmaster.

Ye Futian showed no interest in letting them off. Nevertheless, he wasn’t deliberately making things difficult for the sake of the Tianyi Pavilion. In fact, he didn’t care about the Cabinet Master of the Tianyi Pavilion or Grandmaster Tianbao at all.

Not only could Ye Futian easily beat Grandmaster Tianbao in alchemy, but he could also kill him with little effort. The so-called best Alchemy Grandmaster on Ninth Street was beneath Ye Futian’s notice.

Ye Futian was only causing trouble for the Tianyi Pavilion in order to make a scene and attract the attention of the ancient royal family.

He speculated that the young man who spoke before was not an ordinary commoner. Therefore, he was putting on a show on purpose rather than sincerely demanding an explanation.

As the situation came to a standstill, a voice rang out, “Since the Tianyi Pavilion is at fault, Cabinet Master, why don’t you offer an apology?”

Many people were stunned by the suggestion that the Cabinet Master of the Tianyi Pavilion should apologize.

Who was it?

They turned around and saw that it was a young Renhuang. He was surrounded by several people who were around the same age and carried the same stately grace. They were attended by a small group of people standing behind, making sure they have enough room in the crowded space.

Who was he?

The Cabinet Master of the Tianyi Pavilion darted a look at the young man. His eye twitched slightly. Then, he turned to Ye Futian with an enigmatic expression.

He said, “The Tianyi Pavilion is indeed in the wrong. As the Cabinet Master, I am responsible for the mess. I am sorry for our rash and disrespectful act and humbly ask for your forgiveness.”

“Ugh…” A lot of people in the audience were dumbfounded by the Cabinet Master’s apology. They realized that the young man was not an ordinary person and began to see him in a new light.

Ye Futian was also surprised. He vaguely sensed that he might have achieved his goal. They had taken the bait.

“Do you think a simple apology is enough?” Ye Futian replied coldly as though he still didn’t want to let it go. He shifted his attention to the young man and looked directly into his eyes. The young man cracked a smile and said, “Master, your alchemy performance was phenomenal. May I ask your name?”

The young man, affable and unassuming, asked with extra politeness.

“My last name is Qi,” Ye Futian replied.

“Master Qi.” The young man cupped one hand in the other before his chest to show respect and said, “How should this matter be handled in your opinion?”

“Do you have the authority to make decisions?” Ye Futian asked him tentatively.

“Yes, I do,” the young man nodded without hesitation. The crowd was even more intrigued now. They shifted their eyes to the Cabinet Master to see his reaction. To everyone’s surprise, the Cabinet Master remained expressionless and apparently acquiesced to the young man’s statement.

The young man really could make decisions and tell the Cabinet Master what to do.

Who had this kind of power on Ninth Street?

No one.

The Cabinet Master of the Tianyi Pavilion was already at the top of the food chain. No one could order him around. Unless…

An idea popped into many people’s heads and filled them with astonishment. Did people from that place come to Ninth Street as well?

“It seems that you’re not an average man. In that case,” Ye Futian gazed at the young man and said, “I want the Phoenix’s Marrow of ten thousand years. If you can get that for me, I will forget about what happened today and even offer other things to trade.”

The young man was stunned for a moment upon hearing Ye Futian’s request. Then he laughed, “Master Qi, you certainly didn’t hold back. I’m afraid that you overestimated me.”

He was aware that Ye Futian figured out his identity and tried to take advantage of him.

Nonetheless, the Phoenix’s Marrow of ten thousand years was not a common ingredient. Even he had to put in some effort to obtain it. It was not as simple as it sounded.

“So, can you get it?” Ye Futian asked.

“We can try,” a female Renhuang next to the young man answered. She had been quietly watching the situation and only chimed in now. No one dared to act frivolously in front of her for her breathtaking beauty and dignified manner.

“How confident are you?” Ye Futian looked at her and asked.

“We will give it a shot but can’t make any promises,” she replied. The young man nodded with a smile and echoed, “That’s right. We can do our best. But the Phoenix’s Marrow of ten thousand years is not an ordinary object. It will take some time.”

“Okay. I will let them off the hook if you can give me your word,” said Ye Futian. The crowd looked at him. It was clear that he came to Ninth Street specifically to acquire the Phoenix’s Marrow of ten thousand years.

“Good. If we can find it, Master, we don’t need anything else in return. All we want is to become your friends,” the young man said with a carefree smile as though something as precious as the Phoenix’s Marrow of ten thousand years was nothing but a tool for him to forge friendships.

“No problem,” Ye Futian replied. “Let’s talk on the way.”

“Alright. Please,” the young man outstretched his arm to show the way. Ye Futian nodded, walked to the edge of the stage, and climbed onto Baize Demonic Beast. Baize carried Ye Futian and sauntered away. The crowd spontaneously made way for him to walk on.

Watching Ye Futian’s receding figure, everyone understood that he was another prominent figure rising from Ninth Street, where he was only staying temporarily. Now that the ancient royal family had entered into the picture, they would probably recruit him.

They would have never thought that Ye Futian was here exactly for the ancient royal family!
