Chapter 21: I’m Here to Help You Recognize Your Real Father!:
The news that Ye Wuhen had broken into the City Lord’s mansion spread like wildfire through Qingyun City, drawing even more people to come and watch the spectacle.
Among the onlookers were members of the Nalan family, including Nalan Xiu, who were in a bad mood after losing face at the Ye residence. But, hearing this news lifted their spirits, and they rushed to see what was happening.
In no time, the area inside and outside the City Lord’s mansion was packed with curious onlookers, creating a bustling and lively scene.
Elder Xu Ergou of the Cloud Sect even brought out his floating platform to get a better view and stood in mid-air with the Nalan family members, quietly watching Ye Wuhen to see what trouble he would cause next.
“Ye Wuhen!!! What are you doing here at the City Lord’s mansion?”
A middle-aged man in a silver robe blocked Ye Wuhen’s path at the inner courtyard gate. This man was Zhou Tianyu, the eldest son of Zhou Xingyun, the City Lord of Qingyun City. At thirty years old, he was at the peak of the Meridian Refinement Realm, making him one of the city’s top candidates to make a breakthrough into the Qi Sea Realm.
Zhou Tianyu was in a bad mood. He had just watched the drama at the Ye residence and was still stunned from the stunning beauty of the Holy Maiden of Azure Profound Holy Land, Han Qingxue.
When he returned, he noticed an unusual commotion around his home. Upon investigating, he was startled to find a crowd even more frenzied than at the Ye residence.
Finally, he identified the culprit of all this—Ye Wuhen. And, of course, he also saw Han Qingxue standing behind Ye Wuhen. Her presence encouraged him, and he righteously scolded Ye Wuhen.
“Master Zhou, I suggest you step aside. Today, I’m here to settle an old score with that old bastard Zhou Xingyun. It’s actually in your favor, and I’ll even help you meet your real father!”
Ye Wuhen’s words stunned the crowd.
Settling a score with the City Lord? Help Zhou Tianyu meet his real father? This sounded like a twisted tale indeed!
“What did you say?! Ye Wuhen, don’t think you can act so brazenly just because the Holy Maiden of Azure Profound Holy Land is backing you…”
Zhou Tianyu became furious after hearing Ye Wuhen’s words, thinking he was being humiliated.
As Zhou Tianyu retorted, he pointed out that Ye Wuhen’s arrogance stemmed from Han Qingxue’s support. However, before he could finish his sentence, Ye Wuhen took a step forward, and raised his hand.
“I have a thousand ways to dodge this slap… I could even return it to him!”
This was Zhou Tianyu’s first thought.
“No, why… why do I feel like I can’t dodge this slap?”
His second thought quickly followed. And then…
“Smack!”
A crisp sound echoed through the vast courtyard. Zhou Tianyu spun like a top, sent flying by Ye Wuhen’s slap.
“I told you I’m here to help you meet your father, and you still talk so much!” Ye Wuhen said irritably.
“Pfft…”
Zhou Tianyu, still spinning in mid-air, spat out a mouthful of blood. Not from the slap, but from sheer anger. As a cultivator at the peak of the Meridian Refinement Realm, he had been slapped and sent flying by a mere Qi Gathering Realm weakling!
To make matters worse, this weakling kept insisting on helping him meet his real father!
“A nobleman can be killed but not humiliated… Do I need you to help me meet my father?!”
Finally, after spinning countless times in the air, Zhou Tianyu crashed to the ground, still vomiting blood. Though his injuries were minor, the insult and anger within him were unbearable.
