Ye the Villain

"Presumptuous!" The lackeys behind Xiao Yi were enraged when they heard this. They immediately drew their swords and were about to attack.

Xiao Yi stopped them again. He took a closer look at Ye Qiu, trying to figure out who he was. In the Eastern Wasteland, there were indeed many powerful families and forces. Although he was a playboy, he wasn't stupid. After looking carefully for a few moments, he was sure that he didn't know Ye Qiu and had never seen this person before.

"May I ask which family's successor you are? Could we get to know each other?"

Ye Qiu smiled faintly and said, "I'm from a humble background. How could I compare with Young Master Xiao?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yi made a decision in his heart and his expression changed immediately.

"Very well..."

"Kid, get ready to face my wrath."

"Go! Teach him a lesson..." With a wave of his hand, several powerful men behind Xiao Yi rushed forward. Their auras were revealed, and two experts at the Celestial Appearance Realm took the lead. Xiao Yi had great confidence in these two bodyguards. After all, they were the personal guards assigned to him by his father. Over the years, they had helped him do many bad things.

"Celestial Appearance Realm?" Ye Qiu was a bit disdainful. He had thought they were some great experts, but this was all? He didn't react at all and just stood there, sneering.

Lin Qingzhu stood firmly behind him, her face expressionless. She also sensed the opponents' auras and secretly laughed. These two guards probably didn't realize that they had picked a fight with the wrong person.

In an instant, the two guards charged towards Ye Qiu. Suddenly... when their two blades were only five centimeters away from Ye Qiu, they stopped abruptly.

"What are you doing? Attack!" Xiao Yi was furious, thinking that his two guards had shown mercy.

At this moment, a terrifying force burst out from Ye Qiu's body. In an instant, the two guards were sent flying backwards. Their bodies were surrounded by a sword qi, and in a moment... they were riddled with holes.

Silence... The atmosphere was eerily quiet. Xiao Yi stared at the dead guards on the ground in disbelief, then looked at Ye Qiu, who remained motionless in front of him.

"A powerhouse at the fifth level of the Shencang Realm!" An old man in black exclaimed in horror. In that split second, he could clearly feel the power emanating from Ye Qiu. It was the power unique to the fifth level of the Shencang Realm.

"Old Xu, what are you talking about?"

"The fifth level of the Shencang Realm?" Xiao Yi looked completely stunned. He couldn't believe that Ye Qiu was a powerhouse at the fifth level of the Shencang Realm. Even a huge family like the Xiao family only had two powerhouses at the fifth level of the Shencang Realm. Ye Qiu was so young, and he had even said that he came from a humble background. How could he be at the fifth level of the Shencang Realm?

"Master, we're in big trouble this time," Old Xu said with a pale face. Although his cultivation was at the Wuju Realm and he had a high status in the Xiao family, when facing a terrifying opponent like a powerhouse at the fifth level of the Shencang Realm, not only him but even the head of the Xiao family wouldn't dare to provoke easily. He couldn't figure out how there could be a powerhouse at the fifth level of the Shencang Realm in this small wasteland town ruins. Moreover, the destructive sword intent Ye Qiu had just shown was probably hard for even the head of the family to withstand. He was too powerful.

Hearing Old Xu's words, Xiao Yi's face turned deathly pale. Even though he had sized Ye Qiu up carefully, he never expected to have offended someone he shouldn't have.

"Young Master Xiao, what's wrong?" At this moment, Ye Qiu had a playful smile on his face.

"What did you say just now? I wasn't paying attention. Say it again?"

Xiao Yi's face was ashen, and he cursed inwardly.

"Say what? You were clearly playing dumb, right? You want me to say it again? Do you think I'm an idiot? Damn it! Are all the experts these days into this kind of thing?"

Xiao Yi regretted it so much that he could have kicked himself. Before leaving home, his father had warned him that many powerful experts from various immortal mountains and holy lands would be involved in this riot of ferocious beasts. He told him to be more cautious and not to offend those powerful people, or the family couldn't afford the consequences. At first, Xiao Yi didn't believe it. He thought his father was making a big deal out of it and trying to scare him. But after coming to this wasteland town...

Xiao Yi finally realized that his father was right. Looking at Ye Qiu, who was looking at him playfully, Xiao Yi felt extremely desperate. At first, he thought Ye Qiu was just a pushover, but in the end, he found out that he was the one being played. He wished he could slap himself. When would he ever get rid of this 好色的毛病?A woman with such an otherworldly demeanor wasn't someone an ordinary person could have.

Cursing himself inwardly, as Ye Qiu got closer, Xiao Yi did a complete 180 - degree turn and knelt down in front of him.

"Senior, I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. I offended you. Please spare my life, considering that I'm still young and my parents at home need me to take care of them."

"Pfft..." This sudden turn of events made Lin Qingzhu burst out laughing. So, this was the pressure that a powerful person could exert? Her master was so naughty, but she liked it. Hehe, she felt so safe.

Looking at Xiao Yi on the ground, the corners of Ye Qiu's mouth twitched. He was a bit disappointed. He had thought this kid would be more stubborn, continue to threaten him, or even mention his family's ancestors to scare him. But the reality was a huge letdown.

No way, were the playboys of this generation really this weak?

"It seems that Young Master Xiao is quite filial," Ye Qiu said.

"Well, not bad! I appreciate people who are filial to their elders."

"Alright! I won't hold this against you this time."

Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Xiao Yi was overjoyed and let out a sigh of relief. He had finally escaped death. But unexpectedly, Ye Qiu suddenly added, "When I have time, I'll pay a visit to the Xiao family in Liyang to see how filial Young Master Xiao is to his father."

"What!" Xiao Yi slumped to the ground with a thud.

This... This...

"You'd better not lie to me, Young Master Xiao. If I go to the Xiao family and find out that things aren't as you said..."

"Hehe, then you'll be deceiving me. I hate being deceived the most."

"Generally, for people like that, I'll use extraordinary means to torture them to death..."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi felt his heart go cold. It was over.

"Pfft..." At this moment, Lin Qingzhu couldn't hold back her laughter anymore. She had never realized that her master could be so devious. These few words were probably going to be a lifelong shadow for Xiao Yi. Because you never knew when he would show up at the Xiao family. Even if you wanted to act, you couldn't. You could only maintain the persona of a filial son all the time.

"Alright, Young Master Xiao! If there's nothing else, go back and be filial to your parents." Ye Qiu said with a playful smile. Xiao Yi's face was pale as he fled in a hurry.

It wasn't until he had run a long way that he finally came to his senses.

"Damn it! I'm really doomed this time..."

Old Xu, who was beside him, looked at Xiao Yi's regretful expression and said, "Young Master, I think it's better if you do as he said. I could clearly feel that his aura is even more terrifying than the head of the family's. Moreover... that astonishing sword intent. I'm afraid even a sect - master - level powerhouse wouldn't be his match. This time, you've really offended someone you shouldn't have."

After hearing this, Xiao Yi felt even more desperate. Old Xu never lied. When he said someone was extremely powerful, it meant they really were.
