Chapter 596: Ye Qingwu's Provocation
"How dare you insult my sect leader!" Ye Qingwu was even more furious.
However, she was suddenly taken aback.
No, their sect leader never gets involved in worldly affairs. Apart from the disciples of Tianjian Mountain, no outsider knows her name. How did Ye Feng know that her name was Tantai Shuang?
"Tell me, where did you find out our sect leader's name?"
Faced with Ye Qingwu's aggressive demeanor, Ye Feng said indifferently, "Do you intend to fight me?"
"So what if I take action?"
Ye Qingwu had long wanted to avenge that humiliation. "Don't worry, I'll be very careful. I won't hurt a hair on your head. I just want you to realize the difference between us."
"is it?"
Ye Feng's gaze sharpened; it seemed he really needed to teach him a lesson.
Just as the two were about to clash, the old lady stamped her cane and said, "Enough! Ever since you two first met, you've been arguing and bickering. Don't you have any brotherly or sisterly affection left?"
Although Ye Feng had a wife, the old lady still wanted Ye Qingwu to assist him.
Regardless of whether they develop feelings for each other in the future, at least their relationship should be harmonious.
However, Ye Qingwu's thoughts were exactly the opposite of the old lady's. The reason she wanted to teach Ye Feng a lesson was not only to avenge her previous humiliation, but also to make Ye Feng see the gap between them and give up on him.
However, since her grandmother had spoken up to stop her, she couldn't disobey.
"Ye Feng, since everyone's here today, let's get this straight," she said.
"Oh?"
Ye Feng asked, puzzled, "Is there anything else we need to say to each other?"
"Of course."
Ye Qingwu cupped her hands towards the old lady and said, "Grandma, now that Ye Feng is married, I would like to ask you to cancel the agreement we made back then."
The agreement from back then?
The old lady frowned; so that's what the girl was planning.
This completely ruined her plans.
"Qingwu, you and Ye Feng have been childhood sweethearts, and his abilities are obvious to all. Isn't he good enough for you?"
Ye Qingwu pouted.
She admitted that Ye Feng had some skill, but compared to her, the proud daughter of the Heavenly Sword, there was still a big gap. Moreover, what she cared about most was not Ye Feng's skill, but his character.
Putting aside the hatred for her father's murder, she was utterly disappointed in Ye Feng the first time she met him.
Moreover, he just publicly slandered Liu Qingshan.
How could someone like that be worthy of being Ye Qingwu's partner?
"Since Grandma thinks he's capable, how about we make a bet? If Ye Feng can withstand ten of my moves without using a magical artifact, then I'll accept my fate."
"But if he can't handle it, then we'll cancel the agreement from back then."
"From this day forward, Ye Feng is Ye Feng, and he has nothing to do with me, Ye Qingwu. Do you dare?"
She didn't want her feelings to be tied down.
In her heart, her future man must be a man of exceptional talent, whose cultivation level is at least equal to her own.
Ye Feng didn't want to get involved, but a decision had to be made.
With Tang Yiyi by his side, Ye Feng didn't want to get entangled in a romantic relationship with her; however, she was still no match for him.
"To break off the agreement from back then is just a matter of saying a few words, why make it so complicated?"
"Today, in front of Grandma, I can grant you your freedom. From this day forward, you, Ye Qingwu, are no longer my fiancée, Ye Feng. Is that alright?"
Ye Qingwu was naturally happy, but she knew that the old lady would not let it go so easily.
"No, you have to accept my challenge. If I lose, I'll be your wife; if I win, we'll break up completely," she insisted.
Ye Feng shook his head with a cold laugh, "You're not worthy of my intervention."
"you!"
Ye Qingwu grew up surrounded by admirers and cannot accept having her abilities questioned by others.
Having said that, he swung his sword at Ye Feng.
call out!
The sword energy surged powerfully, heading straight for Ye Feng's vital points.
To be able to unleash such powerful sword energy, one must admit that one is truly gifted. However, any talent is nothing but an ant in the face of a cultivator.
Ye Feng slightly tilted his head to dodge the sword, and then immediately stepped forward.
The next second, he appeared in front of Ye Qingwu.
"this!"
Ye Qingwu was stunned; this speed was too fast.
"Take another blow from me."
The longsword slashed at Ye Feng again.
Ye Feng suddenly turned his head to dodge, and then struck out with a palm, directly hitting her left shoulder.
There was a clang.
The longsword fell to the ground, and Ye Qingwu stood there stunned.
She lost!
She couldn't even withstand one of Ye Feng's moves!
"Are you convinced?"
Ye Feng said calmly, "Defeating you was just to show you that genius is merely the threshold to meeting me. Even if you cultivated for another hundred years, you would still never be my match."
"But you don't need to worry. Even if I, Ye Feng, can't find a wife, I will never marry you."
After saying this, he bowed to the old lady and said, "Please grant my request, Grandmother."
The old lady remained silent, wanting to assess Ye Feng's strength.
Now it seems she can rest assured.
With Ye Feng's cultivation level, even without Ye Qingwu's assistance, no one in the entire Great Xia Dynasty could threaten him.
"Okay, I agree!"
"From now on, Ye Qingwu no longer needs to abide by the agreement from back then. The two of you will go your separate ways."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingwu was stunned once again.
This was the result she wanted, but it wasn't something she earned herself.
She felt like Ye Feng had thrown her away like trash, leaving her with no dignity.
"No, I only used 30% of my strength just now. I haven't lost yet. I want to win against you personally and make you admit defeat." She refused to back down.
Moreover, she did indeed only use 30% of her power just now in order not to hurt Ye Feng.
She believed that as long as she went all out, Ye Feng would definitely not be able to withstand ten of her moves.
She wants to fight for her freedom through her own abilities, not through the charity of others.
"I told you, even if you had a hundred years, you still couldn't beat me." Ye Feng was too lazy to argue with her and prepared to leave with the Tang family.
However, Ye Qingwu's pride was hurt, and she refused to accept it.
"Take my sword again!"
She raised her sword again and stabbed at Ye Feng.
This time, she used 70% of her power, believing that 70% would be enough to overwhelm Ye Feng.
"enough!"
Just as the longsword was about to pierce Ye Feng again, the old lady suddenly swung her cane to deflect the sword.
"Xiaofeng has already agreed to your request, what more do you want?"
"No, Grandma, I didn't lose!" Ye Qingwu protested.
Does winning or losing matter?
The old lady was very disappointed in her.
Ye Qingwu's eyes reddened with grievance; yes, winning or losing was very important to her.
This concerns the reputation of her sect and her dignity. She would rather Ye Feng be defeated and deny it than accept that Ye Feng defeated her and then did her a favor.
"Grandma, can I fight him again? I really only used 30% of my strength just now, he can't possibly be my match." She believed in her own abilities.
At this moment, Ye Xinyi spoke up, "Xing Liao Qingwu, it's not shameful to lose to Ye Feng. He's the one who defeated Ye Wenchuan."
Recalling how Ye Feng single-handedly stormed into the Far East Army's camp, beheaded Ye Wentian, and killed Ye Wenchuan, Ye Xinyi had great confidence in Ye Feng's abilities.
It's normal that Ye Qingwu is no match for him.
"Sister Xinyi, don't you even believe me?" Ye Qingwu retorted. "That Ye Wentian just hasn't met me yet. If I were to face him, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand three of my moves."
