Upon hearing the Yaoguang Holy Son call out Yang Zhen's name, for some reason, one thought popped into everyone's mind.
Yang Zhen is going to wreak havoc at the treasure appraisal event!
The vibrations made my head buzz.
Bai Xinsi, especially, was still a little dazed, and asked the young female disciple next to her, "What did the Yaoguang Holy Son just say?"
The female disciple, equally bewildered, looked at the even more bewildered Yaoguang Holy Son, swallowed hard, and said, "He just said, 'Yang Yang Zhen!'"
"Is it really Yang Zhen?" Bai Xinsi exclaimed, startling everyone around her. They thought that Yang Zhen, the cannibalistic maniac who had killed Yuan Tianyu with a single sword strike, had come to cause them trouble.
Bai Xinsi stared at Yang Zhen, her face pale. She would grin for a moment, then tremble with fear, muttering to herself, "It's Yang Zhen! It's Yang Zhen! I actually became sworn brothers with Yang Zhen!"
"No wonder I saw that Yang Zhen looking at the Yaoguang Holy Son with such hostility. I initially thought it was jealousy, but now I realize it was displeasure!"
A hint of lingering fear flashed across the young female disciple's face. She tugged at Bai Xinsi beside her and said, "Senior Brother Bai, I heard that Yang Zhen was extremely vicious, but it seems that's not the case, is it?"
Bai Xinsi swallowed hard, shook her head, and said, "It's not just not true, this Yang Zhen is completely different from the rumors. I really don't know why the rumors have spread like this."
"For the woman he loves, he actually disregarded five Great Saint. I really don't know whether to call Yang Zhen fearless or courting death!"
Bai Xinsi shook her head and said, "Although I admire Yang Zhen's courage, in this situation, I can only say that Yang Zhen was too impulsive."
Not only did Bai Xinsi think Yang Zhen was too impulsive, but even Yang Zhen himself felt that he had been a bit impulsive.
"A hero's rage for a woman"—that's something only heroes do. What am I, this Sage of Saunter, to provoke such a reaction?
Could he be considered a hero, albeit in a somewhat haphazard way?
Yang Zhen grinned at Diao Wutian, his expression as honest and simple as could be.
After laughing, Yang Zhen carefully took Hua Youyue's hand and said, "Little girl, if the Nine Realms Exquisite Pagoda isn't too important, we don't need it. Giving it to the seniors is fine."
Hua Youyue shook her head and said, "It's not crucial to me, but to you..."
"What does it mean to me?" Yang Zhen looked at Hua Youyue curiously.
Yang Zhen had not only seen the Nine Realms Exquisite Pagoda, but had also entered it. Moreover, when the Holy Maiden Tianxuan was born, he was trapped in the ninth level of the world and almost couldn't get out.
At that time, Yang Zhen really didn't feel that the Nine Realms Exquisite Pagoda was of any importance to him.
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's question, Hua Youyue Yang Zhen and said, "He can help you break through to the Half-Step Great Saint."
Yang Zhen paused for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Oh, I see. Don't worry, even without the Nine Realms Exquisite Pagoda, I can still break through to the Half-Step Great Saint, and it should be similar to the breakthrough you're imagining."
At this point, Yang Zhen grinned at the Yaoguang Holy Son and said, " Yaoguang Holy Son, is it? You are a magnanimous person. My wife was ignorant and disturbed your refining of the treasure of heaven and earth. Don't worry, we'll leave right away!"
Seeing Yang Zhen's almost obsequious manner, everyone present felt a sense of absurdity.
Damn it, what happened to the promised chaos at the treasure appraisal event?
Don't even mention that you came here alone to cause a ruckus at the treasure appraisal event. Now your woman was almost framed, and you're just going to leave after saying a few meaningless words?
Everyone present felt like they had been tricked.
"What do you mean by causing a ruckus at the treasure appraisal conference? When Yang Zhen said that, he clearly didn't know what kind of places the Yaoguang Holy Land and the Three Mountains Holy Land were, did he?"
"Of course! If Yang Zhen knew that the Yaoguang Holy Land and the Three Mountains Holy Land had three Great Saint, he wouldn't dare say such a thing even if he had a hundred times the courage."
"Now that Yang Zhen has seen five Half-Step Great Saint, he's actually acting like such a coward. He's such a waste of my feelings."
A group of people looked down on Yang Zhen, but Yang Zhen still had a "I'm very well-behaved, I won't cause trouble" look on his face.
Hua Youyue looked at Yang Zhen with a strange expression and asked, "Are you really capable of breaking through to the Half-Step Great Saint?"
"Of course I can break through! I have to thank Holy Maiden Qingquan and the others for this. I'll break through and show you right after we leave here, okay?"
Hua Youyue hesitated, then the Yaoguang Holy Son chuckled, approached Yang Zhen, and shook his head, saying, "You've disappointed me."
Yang Zhen grinned and said, "Sorry to disappoint you, but disappointments happen all the time in life, you'll get used to it."
After saying that, Yang Zhen pulled Hua Youyue and prepared to leave.
A cold snort rang out, Diao Wutian glanced sideways at Yang Zhen, saying, "Ignorant brat, do you think my Yaoguang Holy Land is your own backyard, coming and going as you please?"
Yang Zhen was taken aback, turned around and looked at Diao Wutian, saying, "What do you want to do?"
Diao Wutian chuckled and said, " Yaoguang in love with the Holy Maiden Hua at first sight. You can leave if you want, but how could the Holy Maiden Hua be with such a coward as you?"
Yang Zhen took a deep breath, making the Shameless Cat on his shoulder tremble.
"Is that really what you think?"
When Yang Zhen said this, his expression was very serious, as if he were looking at a complete idiot.
Diao Wutian nodded and looked at Yang Zhen, asking, "Is there a problem?"
The people around Yang Zhen looked at him strangely. In fact, as Great Saint of Yaoguang Holy Land, Diao Wutian had already given Hua Youyue enough face by talking so much with Yang Zhen. If Hua Youyue hadn't been there, Diao Wutian probably would have killed Yang Zhen long ago.
Seeing the ambiguous smile on Diao Wutian's face, the entire Qianyuan Ridge fell into silence. If it weren't for the violent air currents still washing over the Nine Realms Exquisite Pagoda in mid-air, the air in the entire Qianyuan Ridge would have seemed to have frozen.
Yang Zhen slung the Great Deficiency Sword over his shoulder with a clang, sighed, and said, "So, we still have to fight?"
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, everyone's hearts skipped a beat!
Diao Wutian laughed loudly, looking at Yang Zhen and saying, "Did I hear that right? You callow brat, how dare you utter such arrogant words in front of me?"
The Yaoguang Holy Son shook his head and chuckled. He glanced at the silent Hua Youyue and said to Yang Zhen, " Yang Zhen, you should leave. This is not a place for you to run wild."
Seeing that the Yaoguang Holy Son still remained calm and composed, everyone couldn't help but secretly admire him.
As expected of the Yaoguang Holy Son, the most outstanding young generation in Central Court, his talent and character are both top-notch.
Now that Yang Zhen wants to cause a ruckus at the treasure appraisal conference, the Yaoguang Holy Son has already gone to such lengths, which is more than enough.
Now, it's up to Yang Zhen to make a choice.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yang Zhen suddenly fell silent, lowering his head as if he were struggling to make a choice.
It makes sense; anyone in this situation would probably be unwilling to give up the woman they love. But... did Yang Zhen have a choice?
Just as everyone was feeling sorry for Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen suddenly burst into laughter, abruptly looking up at the Yaoguang Holy Son: "Damn it, old scoundrel, you've lived such a long life, and you're such an idiot at such a young age?"
This outburst of furious insults was deafening, leaving Diao Wutian and the Yaoguang Holy Son completely dumbfounded.
Yang Zhen... dares to swear?
At a time like this, Yang Zhen still dares to curse?
