Chapter 55: The Arrogant Dog
"Hehe..."
Just as everyone was focusing on Chen Hao and the others starting to draw lots, a soft laugh suddenly floated over, the voice was very light, but what surprised everyone was that this voice clearly entered each person's ear.
"The small Yunzhou city, unexpectedly it's quite lively..."
The person with a gentle smile spoke in a soft tone, but the words that came out were condescending and overbearing, as if the entire Yunzhou was nothing but ants in this person's eyes. Almost instantly, everyone in the martial arts arena furrowed their brows, even the drawing of lots stopped, and one by one, they looked towards the entrance of the martial arts arena.
The newcomer is a master, there's no need to doubt it. Being able to suppress the entire martial arts arena so easily, I'm afraid that apart from the masters on the chairman's stage, not many people can do it.
"It's finally here..."
Xiao Jihan, standing on the podium, saw a familiar figure and all his worries disappeared instantly. The suppressed excitement on his face suddenly broke out with an uncontrollable surprise and pride.
"Has he arrived?" Li Ran, sitting upright in the middle of the main hall, thought to himself, his expression unchanged. He slowly stood up and glanced at Dongfang Wangcai, who was following behind a young man in his twenties with a humble and submissive attitude, as well as over ten young disciples who were all full of energy and had proud expressions. With a courteous bow, he said: "I am Li Ran, the lord of Yunzhou City. Master Dongfang, who are these esteemed guests?"
"Li Chengzhu, this is the third family of our town's Yuan Kingdom, the Dongfang family. Dongfang Zan, the young master, is only 22 years old and has reached the peak of the 9th rank of Wu Huang. He's just half a step away from becoming a Wu Emperor! In front of Young Master Dongfang, we can't even call our own master 'master'. We're just a small branch of the Dongfang family in Yunzhou... Hehe... not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning..." Dongfang Wangcai didn't hide his flattery at all, and his fat face, like a blooming chrysanthemum, smiled as he introduced himself while also sucking up to him.
……
"What?"
"Huh?"
"How is this possible?"
"Eastern House... is it really the Eastern House of the three major families in the kingdom? Indeed, they're impressive... at such a young age, he's already a 9th rank Martial Emperor..."
"No wonder he's so arrogant, it turns out he's from the Dongfang family..."
"To think that Dongfang Wangcai is actually a branch of the Dongfang family... it's too unbelievable..."
Dongfang Wangcai's words instantly exploded the entire martial arts arena, even the dignitaries on the main stage were filled with shock. No one had expected that Dongfang Wangcai, this wealthy master, was actually a branch of the Dongfang family in Yunzhou City, and even less so that someone from the Dongfang family would come to the small city of Yunzhou.
At first, everyone was glaring at each other, but their facial expressions suddenly changed completely, and even people like Helian Dang didn't escape this.
The three major families of the Zhongyang Kingdom, who dares to offend the Dongfang family?
Who dares to offend?
"It's actually Young Master Dongfang Zan of the Eastern family who has arrived, I apologize for not welcoming you from afar, please come in quickly and take a seat!" Li Ran hastily said with courtesy, but didn't show much enthusiasm, only letting the guards lead him to his seat.
Dongfang Zan's eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure, and he glanced at Li before restraining himself. After all, Li was the master of this small county town, and although it was just a small place, Dongfang Zan couldn't deceive his eyes.
……
"This is the top ten of Yunzhou Martial Arts Assembly?" Dongfang Zan sat down in the VIP seat not far from the rostrum, with more than a dozen people making way for him. Some guests originally didn't need Li Ran's instructions and gave up their seats. After sitting down, Dongfang Zan's gaze slowly swept over Chen Hao and others who had already started drawing lots, his eyes narrowing slightly as he fixed on He Lian Wuzi and asked.
"Returning to the young master, yes. However, because of a small group of two people standing in a tie, there are now eleven names. Young master, that girl is none other than He Lian Wu Zi, known as the number one genius beauty of Yunzhou... Heh heh... The one standing in sixth place is Quan Zi Dong Fang Han..."
"Oh? Not bad, not bad at all......" Dongfang Zan didn't even glance at Xiao Jihan, his eyes fixed on He Lian Wuzi's enchanting figure, murmuring in admiration.
Dongfang Wangcai, this old fox naturally understood what Dongfang Zan said was not bad. He suddenly spoke in a low voice: "As long as the young master likes it, this small Yunzhou City, no one dares to offend the young master... hehe... I'll take care of it..."
Dongfang Zan nodded slightly, and in his heart, he was quite satisfied with Dongfang Wangcai's cleverness and thoughtfulness.
"Master, it's about the dog..."
"Don't worry, I'm here, what else could happen?"
"Is is...... That's good, that's good......"
……
It has to be said that Dongfang Wangcai had no martial arts skills, but was able to become the richest man in Yunzhou, which is indeed a testament to his abilities. He climbed up the high branch of the Dongfang family and operated for many years, relying on his strong financial resources and excellent vision, finally opening up the pass not long ago and conquering Dongfang Zan, making him a branch of the Dongfang family that no one could reach.
But what can be invited to move Dongfang Zan to Yunzhou is that all the good things in Yunzhou are sold out, and the talent shown by Xiao Jihan's half-year promotion speed, Xiao family Yuanshen Cave, He Lianjia Tianyuan Cave, of course, also Yunzhou beauty how many, how good and so on to cater to Dongfang Zan's appetite...
In Dongfang Wangcai's eyes, there was no fortress that couldn't be breached. As long as it was human, there would be weaknesses, and with weaknesses, he could conquer it. And now, he had succeeded.
……
The draw was completed quickly and Chen Hua was fifth.
The first to take the stage were Mo Family's number one genius, Mo Yu, and a relatively weaker opponent.
"Aren't you worried at all?" Xiao Mei asked in a low voice, glancing at Xiao Jihan who had already walked over to the VIP seat to pay respects to Dongfang Zan, as she whispered into Chen Huan's ear.
"Is worrying useful?" Chen Hao said with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Even Chen Hao didn't expect that Xiao Jihans family would actually be connected to the Dongfang family, one of the three major families in the Town Yuan Kingdom. And at this time, what does it imply?
This made Chen Huan feel unprecedented pressure!
There is no time when he yearns for power more than now, he needs power, needs to become stronger, only in this way can he not be threatened. Only in this way can he grasp his own destiny firmly in his own hands!
At this moment, even Chen Hao felt that the future was bleak, especially when he saw the faces of those who had surrendered to Dongfang Zan's power on the podium, and deeply realized how strong the Dongfang family was...
This is absolutely something he can't handle now!
My fate is in my own hands, not in heaven's!
A few days ago, what Xiao Mei said was like a joke, but now his only hope is actually pinned on others, which makes the born proud him feel extremely humiliated.
Three days ago, Xiao Lao found him alone and took him to see Li Ran in secret. Although the two did not tell him about the specific situation, they just let him face Xiao Jihuan without any mental pressure, and asked him to perform well in the competition, and not to hide anything! But Chen Huan knew that the severity of the matter had exceeded his expectations, he, or the Xiao family, and even the entire Yunzhou would face a huge crisis!
The spearhead is pointing directly at Xiao Jihan!
Chen Hao realized it, but he couldn't figure it out. Xiao Jihan, or rather, where did the original Xiao Jihan get such a huge energy from?
Now seeing Dongfang Zan appear, Chen Heng finally understood.
……
"Wow wow wow...... Not bad, really not bad......"
On the arena, in the third round, He Lian Wu Zi knocked Sima Jianyun off the stage with one move. In the VIP seats, Dongfang Zan surprisingly applauded and praised. Let him praise, that voice was loud enough for everyone in the martial arts arena to hear, especially the gaze towards He Lian Wu Zi, which carried a scorching heat that anyone could see.
"Is it He Lian Wu Zi? Your qualifications are excellent, I, the young master, am very fond of you. Come to our Dongfang family, this small Yunzhou is indeed wasting your talent..."
What shocked everyone even more was that Dongfang Zan actually threw out a rather large olive branch. Entering the Dongfang household, what kind of concept is that? Although many people could see that Dongfang Zan didn't have good intentions, quite a few people thought that if they were in his shoes, they would immediately agree. Even some female disciples weren't exceptions, and couldn't wait to replace He Lian Wu Zi and agree, and were even jealous of He Lian Wu Zi's appearance...
But most of the gazes looking at Dongfang Zan are contemptuous and dare not speak out in anger.
"Brazen trash!" Chen Hao cursed in a cold and low voice.
Xiao Mei also slightly frowned, looking at Dongfang Zan's gaze with obvious fear, but contempt was even stronger.
He Lian's family head, He Lian E, slightly furrowed his brow. This usually arrogant guy was actually holding back his temper. Similarly, He Lian Yi Qing, her fiancé, although he was furious with bulging veins and trembling all over, seemed to be enduring it like a turtle retracting its head...
"Damn it, Ninja Turtles!" Chen Haoyue's anger grew as he couldn't help but blurt out profanity. Fortunately, his voice wasn't loud.
Just as everyone was staring at He Lian Wu Zi, wanting to see how he would react, unexpectedly, He Lian Wu Zi's icy face without any emotional fluctuations didn't change in the slightest, not even his footsteps paused for a moment, and he walked straight down from the stage, as if he hadn't heard Dong Fang Zan's words at all, completely treating it like a fart.
However, wherever Helian Wuzi passed by, it was as if she had instantly entered a severe winter. The intense icy aura caused the air around her to distort, and her long hair danced in the windless space. It made everyone see that Helian Wuzi was not deaf, but rather chose to ignore it blatantly.
"Huh?"
Dongfang Zan slightly furrowed his brow, but the fervor in his eyes only intensified.
"Heh heh, Young Master, you probably don't know that He Lian Wu Zi is actually the fiancée of the young master of the He Lian family. She's probably not in control of her own actions... Moreover, it's said that she was stimulated by Xiao Xiang Huang during the competition two days ago and seems to have become a bit abnormal..." Dong Fang Wang Cai said at the right moment. His words not only stirred up trouble for the He Lian family but also stabbed Chen Huang in the back.
"Haha……this is even more flavorful……I, the young master, really like it!" Dongfang Zan narrowed his eyes, staring at He Lian Wu Zi with an even hotter gaze. Even he didn't expect that a small place like Yunzhou would have such a stunning beauty. Feeling that this trip was truly lucky. In his excitement, he completely stopped hiding his wolfish intentions.
The entire martial arts arena was filled with anger, especially among Hua Yun's supporters.
"Hmm!"
At this moment, Li Ran, who was originally still smiling, suddenly let out a cold snort. A powerful spiritual force instantly enveloped the surroundings, and his eyes turned towards Dongfang Zan, saying: "Dongfang young master, we people of Yunzhou respect you as a disciple of the Dongfang family, but we do not welcome this kind of scum from the Dongfang family! I believe that your Dongfang family knows that you are tarnishing the family's reputation outside, and they will not forgive you either! Get out! Immediately!"
Wow...
The usually gentle Li Ran suddenly faced Dongfang Zan and said something that was so explosive, it instantly detonated the entire martial arts arena, causing a huge commotion!
"What did you say?"
Dongfang Zan didn't expect that in a small place like Yunzhou, someone would dare to challenge him. He thought he was invincible, and Li Ran, who had always been lenient with him, would also turn a blind eye this time. But when he heard Li Ran's words, this self-proclaimed superior being suddenly became like a mad dog whose tail had been stepped on, and with a sudden movement, he stood up, pointing at Li Ran and shouting sharply.
