Chapter 526: Chapter 0445: The Heavenly Mechanism Elder Appears, Hidden Dragon List Updated (Three Updates)
An Ruoqing sighed helplessly and stepped back again.
Ye Qingfeng naturally knew that Bai Wan’er didn’t want to speak, but he, as an Immortal Venerable, had his pride. Having asked already, he intended to offer help. However, if others did not appreciate it, he certainly wouldn’t shamelessly continue to ask.
"I have already asked, but whether to speak is your choice!"
After finishing his words, Ye Qingfeng didn’t linger and directly leaped away, disappearing across the river with a few jumps.
Just after Ye Qingfeng left, Bai Wan’er let out a low sob, leaned against the side of the boat, and tears flowed again.
An Ruoqing was startled and hurried over, asking in confusion, "Wan’er, what are you doing? Why didn’t you tell him?"
"He’s so powerful, for him, this matter is just a trivial task. You don’t have to force yourself, why didn’t you say it?"
An Ruoqing seemed somewhat frustrated and indignant.
Bai Wan’er gently shook her head, choked with emotion, "To him, I’m just charity, just a kind of help because of my mom’s connection to me, don’t you know?"
She continued, "If in his heart, I’m just someone he knows because of my mom, then I’d rather not ask him for help."
Bai Wan’er clutched An Ruoqing’s arm, tears streaming down her face.
"Do you understand? Right now, my heart is really aching, so much. Why does he help and save me, never because of who I am, but always because of my mother’s relationship with him?"
"In his eyes, don’t I even count as a friend? Why, why do I disgust him so?"
Bai Wan’er cried helplessly, and An Ruoqing did not know how to comfort her, so she could only gently hold her and listen to her weep.
The young woman beside them was struck by understanding; Ye Qingfeng is so young, at an age when blood and energy are thriving, his resistance to beauty should be very weak, yet Ye Qingfeng’s behavior was very different, able to treat even a beauty like Bai Wan’er with indifference, making her look at him in a new light.
Within half an hour, all the boats on West Lake dispersed, and the Ancient Martial Practitioners from Huaxia also left Mingzhu City of the Southern Base. This earth-shattering battle finally came to an end.
The Chinese Martial Arts World was once again in a frenzy, "Mr. Ye" from Jiangnan City and "Black Butcher" Long Yuntian fought at West Lake in Mingzhu City, and the battle result had long spread throughout the martial arts world.
"What? Long Yuntian is dead?"
Countless people were astonished upon learning the outcome of the decisive battle.
Long Yuntian’s reputation, even after more than twenty years, had never ceased in Huaxia. Could a peerless powerhouse like him just die at the hands of a newly debuted "Mr. Ye" in Jiangnan City?
At the Northern Base in Yanjing City, in an ancient mansion, an elderly man in an old-style Zhongshan suit held a Yin Yang Ball, his decades-long unfluctuated face showing a trace of astonishment and shock.
"Long Yuntian actually lost? And lost to a junior," he said in a deep voice, eyes focused.
On the wall behind the old man hung a large traditional character: "Yang!"
The old man’s grandson is the devilish martial artist listed on the Hidden Dragon List, Yang Linmie.
In Yanjing, within a military camp, a middle-aged man in a uniform, standing upright, looked at the intelligence he had just received, his eyes cold and harsh.
"Long Yuntian actually lost? Other than the older generation of War King Warriors, is there someone else who could defeat him? Who exactly is this Ye Jiujie? Could it be related to the Yanjing Ye Family?"
A document lay on his desk, bearing the handwritten signature: Yan Gang!
The old man’s grandson is the new generation’s War God in the military, Yan Bufan.
Yanjing Ye Family.
This was the resting place for the Ye Family before entering the Extraordinary Realm.
Even now, there are Ye Family members guarding here.
Inside the villa, an elderly man with hoary hair leaned against the sofa, his face expressionless.
"I never expected Ye Qingfeng to grow up once again; I hope this time nothing critical happens!"
The old man understood that Ye Qingfeng might be the hope for the Ye Family’s rise in the Extraordinary Realm.
However, some families in the Extraordinary Realm do not wish for someone like Ye Qingfeng to appear.
The Chinese Martial Arts World was once again tumultuous because of this battle, but one matter again shook everyone’s hearts.
The Hua Xia Tianji Elder, who hadn’t appeared for twenty years, reappeared unexpectedly!
In a sea of flowers like a paradise, there stood a nine-storey octagonal tower.
Standing on the top floor in a dark blue long robe was the Pavilion Master of Medicine King Pavilion, You Ming.
This nine-storey octagonal tower is the residence and training place of the Pavilion Master.
A breathtaking beauty of sixteen appeared behind him, it was You Lianruo, and she spoke softly: "Father, news from the Elder House says the Tianji Elder has appeared!"
"What?"
You Ming’s expression changed dramatically, hurriedly turning around.
"Is the information reliable?"
You Lianruo didn’t know why her father reacted so strongly but nodded anyway, "The message is accurate, the elders sent me to inform you immediately, also to give you a piece of yellow paper!"
You Ming took the yellow paper, not opening it immediately, a trace of unease on his face.
You Lianruo couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Father, what’s wrong? Who is this Tianji Elder, and what is this yellow paper? Why are you so nervous?"
You Ming grasped the yellow paper, standing with his hands at his back.
"Lianruo, you have little worldly experience, so you aren’t aware of the Tianji Elder!"
"The Hua Xia Tianji Elder, no one knows whether he represents a single person or the whole Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."
"He is elusive, and no one has even seen the true face of the Tianji Elder, yet he holds the supreme authority in the Chinese Martial Arts World."
"The Tianji Elder, as the name implies, is a person who knows everything under the heavens, and things under heaven, knows everything."
You Lianruo was astonished. Is such a person really in Huaxia?
But even so, it shouldn’t be enough to make You Ming so apprehensive and cautious, right?
And judging from You Ming’s nervous expression over the yellow paper, there must be something remarkable on it.
You Ming sighed, "This yellow paper actually only holds a list!"
You Lianruo was baffled, "A list? What kind of list!"
"Hua Xia Hidden Dragon List!"
You Ming slowly uttered five words.
"Hua Xia Hidden Dragon List?" You Lianruo was shocked.
"That’s right, this list was made by the Tianji Elder, encompassing all the young strong individuals in Huaxia, ranking them by their combat power!"
You Ming explained, "The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion updates the Hua Xia Hidden Dragon List every three years, usually penned by the Tianji Elder’s apprentice, but this time it was personally compiled by the Tianji Elder."
"Father, so this list is a new edition of the Hua Xia Hidden Dragon List?"
You Lianruo was immediately intrigued, to rank and list all the devilish martial artists of the young generation in Huaxia, what a grand endeavor this must be?
"Indeed, this is the new edition of the Hua Xia Hidden Dragon List. Although mysterious, the Tianji Elder’s ranked lists are widely recognized as authoritative. Whatever position you hold on this list is almost guaranteed to be accurate!"
You Lianruo was even more curious to see for herself.
