Chapter 98: Neither Side Will Give In

The titles of Medicine Pill Master and being named Xiao both represent the highest status in the Yanwu family. The Yanwu family in Xuanzhou State is just a branch. The main family in Huangzhou State is also known as the Xiao family.

There are very few people with the surname Xiao in the branch. In Xuanzhou State, aside from the family leader and Xiao Ruoshui and her father, the only one with the surname Xiao is Xiao Liufeng.

Xiao Liufeng turned to Yun Yi, who had just gotten up from the ground, and smiled, "Hey there, are you okay?"

"I’m lucky to be alive, but if you hadn’t shown up, things might have been different," Yun Yi replied.

"You talk too much. How can you be so sure I will come to help you?"

Xiao Liufeng asked with great interest.

"If I get killed, it won’t look good for you, since I’m the one you brought here. By the way, your outfit today is much more stylish than last time."

Yun Yi chuckled.

"You little rascal, you haven’t disappointed me. Right after arriving at the Yanwu family, you’ve already made such a big stir. But your ability to cause trouble is impressive."

Xiao Liufeng shot Yun Yi a glare, but it was clear that this look was not out of anger; instead, it was full of appreciation.

Xiao Liufeng returned from his travels yesterday and secretly checked to see if Yun Yi had arrived. At first, he felt disappointed, thinking something might have happened to Yun Yi on the way, but he was surprised to see Yun Yi arrive today.

Moreover, Xiao Liufeng had been secretly observing the events in the second-level area today. Yun Yi’s performance greatly shocked him, and he thought he had a good eye, so he stood up and announced that Yun Yi was his disciple, showing his intention to protect Yun Yi.

"Elder Xiao, this matter does not concern you, so please give me some face."

Yuan Zhongshan spoke, his face looking very unpleasant. After Xiao Liufeng appeared, he began chatting with Yun Yi, completely ignoring Yuan Zhongshan. This made it very difficult for Yuan Zhongshan to bear.

"Not my concern? Yuan Zhongshan, are you deaf? I just said that Yun Yi is my disciple. If you want to harm my disciple, who gave you the courage?"

Xiao Liufeng confronted him directly. He is famous for his fiery temper and, being a Fire Spirit Body, is known for his unpredictable nature. Even the elders of the Lingyuan Realm usually avoid provoking him.

If there is anyone in the Yanwu family that Yuan Zhongshan fears and does not want to face, it is Xiao Liufeng.

At this moment, Yuan Zhongshan felt incredibly frustrated, like a thousand raging thoughts in his mind. Why did it have to be Xiao Liufeng of all people?

This Yun Yi turned out to be Xiao Liufeng’s disciple. If Yuan Hui hadn’t already been disabled, Yuan Zhongshan would have kicked him hard out of anger. Why bother picking a fight with Xiao Liufeng’s disciple?

"Elder Xiao, even if he is your disciple, he harmed my grandson, and this cannot be overlooked. You care about your face, and so do I. If I can’t even speak up for my grandson, how can I live in the Yanwu family? I must seek justice today, whether it’s at the Law Enforcement Hall, with the young lady, or even with the clan leader, I will demand fairness."

Yuan Zhongshan shouted with reddened eyes. Although he did not want to provoke Xiao Liufeng, he could not back down today. This was not just about avenging his grandson; even for himself, if he could tolerate this, how could he live in the Yanwu family? He would surely become a laughingstock.

Yuan Zhongshan’s words made Xiao Liufeng frown. He then shot an annoyed glance at Yun Yi. This matter involved the dignity of an elder from the Lingyuan Realm, and Yuan Zhongshan had some status in the Yanwu family. If an elder from the Lingyuan Realm insisted on this, things could become very complicated.

"Yuan Zhongshan, why are you shouting? The fights between disciples should not involve us old folks. It’s an unspoken rule of the Yanwu family to let things go on their own. Your grandson is at the fifth grade of the Innate Realm, while my disciple is only at the fourth grade. In this situation, if your grandson is defeated, it only means he lacked strength; he can’t blame others. But seeing you in such pain, I am not unreasonable. I will personally create some healing pills for your grandson as compensation."

Xiao Liufeng spoke, his strong manner still on full display.

"Make some pills? Xiao Liufeng, stop talking nonsense! Can you even make a pill to heal his dantian? If not, let’s head to the Law Enforcement Hall together."

Yuan Zhongshan was insistent on going to the Law Enforcement Hall. He had originally wanted to handle Yun Yi himself, but now that Xiao Liufeng, this strong figure, was involved, Yuan Zhongshan had to settle for asking the Law Enforcement Hall for help.

No matter what, even if it meant fully offending Xiao Liufeng, Yuan Zhongshan was determined to avenge Yuan Hui today.

"It seems Elder Yuan has taken a stand today and will do whatever it takes to deal with Yun Yi."

"That goes without saying. Although Elder Xiao is tough to deal with, Elder Yuan is a powerful expert at the fifth grade of the Lingyuan Realm and has a very high status in the family. If he doesn’t dare to speak up about his own grandson being harmed, he would be a laughing stock. Elder Yuan can’t afford to lose face; today’s matter won’t be easy."

"If it goes to the Law Enforcement Hall, it could be troublesome. They follow the family’s rules strictly. On his first day, Yun Yi has already harmed four second-grade disciples and fought with two elders from the third area. That’s a serious charge."

More and more people gathered around, and no one expected things to escalate to this level. What started as a conflict between disciples had now turned into a fierce confrontation between two respected elders.

"Hmph! Even if we go to the Law Enforcement Hall, I’m not afraid of you. Anyone who dares to touch my people today will have to deal with me."

Xiao Liufeng’s anger was rising too. He had a well-known bad temper from the Yanwu family. If someone provoked him, he wouldn’t even care about the Law Enforcement Hall or the clan leader.

This was what worried Yuan Zhongshan the most; if it had been anyone else today, he would have likely acted without hesitation.

Yun Yi stood behind Xiao Liufeng, watching everything unfold and couldn’t help but give Xiao Liufeng a thumbs up. He didn’t expect this old man to be so fiery and passionate, which surprised Yun Yi. Xiao Liufeng’s performance also greatly improved his impression of him.

"Look, the young lady has arrived."

Just when the two elders were locked in disagreement, someone shouted, and Xiao Ruoshui appeared, descending directly onto the Martial-arts Arena.
