No Public Morality
Seeing this, Prince Tianhao smiled broadly. This was exactly the effect he wanted. This kid was so arrogant, having already made a formidable enemy, the Danxin Sect, upon arriving in Yunze City. Yet, he had just discovered that Yi Yun was mixed in with the crowd and hadn't been noticed by anyone. Prince Tianhao was displeased; this was too easy for the kid.
"I only know that your surname is Yi. I, Su Muyan, do not fight against nameless people. State your name!" shouted the Danxin Sect disciple who had just become very close to Shopkeeper Su. He wanted to wash away the humiliation of Mingxin Xuan's closure.
For a moment, many people stopped in their tracks, and even those who wanted to enter the Immortal Pavilion temporarily refrained from doing so, all looking on with amusement at the spectacle.
People were happy to see such a dispute. It was now clear that Prince Tianhao also harbored great hostility towards Yi Yun. He loudly proclaimed Yi Yun's identity and even specifically mentioned that Yi Yun had defeated the alchemist of the Danxin Sect, which was practically putting Yi Yun on the spot.
Just then, Prince Tianhao spoke up again, "I would also like to know Young Master Yi's name. I only heard people call you Sect Leader Yi before, and that's how I learned that your surname is Yi..." As Prince Tianhao said this, he glanced at Jingyue Sha with a half-smile. As soon as he said this, many people present were stunned.
Sect Leader!?
This Yi Yun, a martial artist at the Dao Palace Eighth Layer, is actually a sect leader?!
How small must this sect be to appoint a martial artist at the Dao Palace Eighth Layer as its leader? It's probably a small sect this kid built himself, and then he appointed himself sect leader.
"Young Master Yi is so young to have become the sect leader; his future is truly limitless. In addition, Sect Leader Yi has demonstrated unparalleled alchemy skills. I am very willing to befriend Sect Leader Yi. In the future, Sect Leader Yi may become a master alchemist. If he can reach seven or eight tenths of Master Su's level, then I will have to rely on Master Yi for guidance."
Prince Tianhao spoke with a smile, repeatedly referring to Yi Yun as "Sect Leader." Anyone with eyes could hear the sarcasm in his tone. In many people's eyes, Yi Yun's title of "Sect Leader" was like a group of rebellious peasants leading a rabble, with the leader proclaiming himself emperor. This was especially laughable at the Tiannan Peak Summit; anyone here daring to call themselves a sect leader was a powerful figure vying for dominance.
As for what Prince Tianhao said later, that Yi Yun would reach seven or eight tenths of Master Su's level in the future, that only made Yi Yun more envious.
The surrounding crowd consisted entirely of disciples of the Danxin Sect. These people were already resentful that Yi Yun Mingxin Xuan brought down Mingxin Pavilion, and now they were even more furious. Master Su a figure of immense stature within the Danxin Sect. Countless disciples aspired to reach his level, but none of them actually expected to attain it. For this kid in front of them to think he could catch up with Master Su was simply a pipe dream.
Prince Tianhao was clearly using flattery to his detriment; everyone could tell.
Despite being watched by so many people, Yi Yun didn't feel much. He looked at Prince Tianhao, remained silent for a long time, and then gently fanned his nose.
People were confused about what Yi Yun was doing. Some thought he was bewildered, perhaps because he had never seen such a situation with enemies on all sides. Just then, they saw Yi Yun turn to Jingyue Sha and say, "I was just saying that there was a stench coming from somewhere. It turns out it's that guy over there. He's eaten too much Ancient Monster Dung Essence, yet he has no self-awareness. He's shouting loudly here, and the stench from his mouth is wafting out. He has no sense of public morality at all. He's really rude."
When Yi Yun said this, everyone was stunned. The smile on Prince Tianhao's face suddenly froze. He was still smiling with his mouth open when, after a few breaths, he subconsciously closed his mouth. Then, Prince Tianhao's face turned completely gloomy, as black as the bottom of a pot.
Ancient Monster Dung Essence!
Upon hearing these words, Prince Tianhao gritted his teeth. Even when he was targeting Yi Yun, he only made veiled sarcasm while outwardly praising him, which was in accordance with the etiquette of high society. But Yi Yun, he made a personal attack right off the bat!
Prince Tianhao, being of noble status, naturally held the highest-level VIP card at Mingxin Xuan. In addition, he had been pursuing Princess Hongyi Mingxin Xuan Mingxin Xuan held her birthday banquet there. Under these circumstances, Prince Tianhao would often invite Princess Hongyi to dine at Mingxin Xuan. He had eaten the signature dish, Cloud Hidden Phoenix Seeks Phoenix, countless times.
It's impossible for him not to feel uncomfortable at all. Who would have thought that now, at this grand trade fair, in front of so many prominent figures, he would be ridiculed by Yi Yun for this matter.
"Great! Absolutely wonderful!"
Prince Tianhao was furious, but he didn't know how to retort to Yi Yun.
This guy was indeed as arrogant as Princess Hongyi had described, and such a person made him want to kill.
"Pfft!"
Beside Yi Yun, Jingyue Sha burst out laughing. She was a fearless person, and what did the Prince Tianhao have to do with her? She wasn't even a member of the Cloud-Leaving Empire.
"Now that you mention it, I can actually smell it."
As she spoke, Jingyue Sha took a few steps back with a look of disgust, distancing herself from Prince Tianhao.
Such actions undoubtedly challenged Prince Tianhao's nerves once again. His face turned green. The only result of his actions against Yi Yun this time was to remind people once again of his experience of eating excrement every meal at Mingxin Xuan, as Imperial Prince of the current dynasty and a strong contender for the future Crown Prince.
Yi Yun and Jingyue Sha's words not only made Prince Tianhao feel like an idiot, but also made the people of the Danxin Sect feel uncomfortable.
Mingxin Xuan represents the Danxin Sect after all, and the fact that the dishes served at Mingxin Xuan have such a big problem is a stain on their Danxin Sect.
"This kid is too arrogant, I really can't stand him," someone said to Su Muyan.
Su Muyan nodded with a stern face, "Leaving aside Aunt Su's grudge, I won't let him off the hook just for his veiled insults towards the Danxin Sect. After this trade fair, I will make him regret ever being born."
The disciples of the Danxin Sect nodded in agreement.
"Since this guy surnamed Yi is unwilling to register, I have no interest in knowing. After the trade fair, I will challenge him. Alchemy or martial arts, he can choose!"
Su Muyan spoke up, not underestimating Yi Yun, but also having full confidence in himself; he wanted to vindicate the Danxin Sect.
Although his voice wasn't loud, and it was just private conversation among the Danxin Sect disciples, everyone present was a martial artist, and many of them heard it.
People immediately became interested; they enjoyed watching this kind of competition, which served as a nice appetizer for the Tiannan Peak Summit.
"Sect Leader Yi, it seems that Su Muyan wants to challenge you," Jingyue Sha said with a smile.
Yi Yun shook his head. If he accepted every challenge, he would be too low-level.
