Murong Yi jumped backward, smoke coming out of his hand, he looked at the person who intercepted his attack. His facial expression became ugly seeing the person in front of Yun Che.
"Sikong Du, what is the meaning of this? Are you trying to go against me?"
"Humph! What if I do? Can you, Murong Yi, do something about it?" Sikong Du arrogantly replied. "I'm just stopping you from hurting a junior. Do you know no shame, Murong Yi? As the inner disciple and a ranking member of Heavenly Profound List, for you to show such shameful behavior is the same as throwing mud on our faces!"
"Shameful behavior?" Murong Yi snorted. He looked at Sikong Du with venom in his gaze and replied. "Look! Look at my cousin! That Yun Che bastard not only hurt my cousin unjustly, he also dared to insult my parents! Today I shall enact justice upon him! Stay out of my way!"
"Butting into the matters of junior, if it's not a shameful display then what is it?" Sikong Du didn't backway, instead, he sneered at Murong Yi and answered. "If your cousin faced injustice, then let him deal with it himself. Crying and running to someone else and using other's help to solve your problem is just shameful and disgusting. If you have that much problem, then let your cousin fight with Yun Che. We will see what happens then."
"Sikong Du…" Murong Yi's expression scrunched. He gritted his teeth in anger. He was only a True Profound Realm Participant while Sikong Du had already entered the Spirit Profound Realm. There was the difference of a whole great realm between them. Seeing him protecting Yun Che, even if he wanted to kill him, he knew it was useless with Sikong Du protecting him.
This resulted in an expression of anger appearing on his face. His eyes glinted with murderous intent as he looked at Sikong Du and then Yun Che. Seeing the mocking grin over Yun Che's face, he tightly clenched his fists, barely stopping himself from going out and attacking him.
Then suddenly, he remembered something, a smirk appearing over his face as he loudly shouted.
"Yun Che, do you dare to challenge me!"
Seeing he can't get to him right now, he decided to take his challenge. This way, he would be able to humiliate him without anyone intervening between them.
Sikong Du's expression changed. He was about to say something but was beaten by Yun Che instead.
With a smile on his face, Yun Che said.
"The conditions are the same. Three months. If you win, you can do whatever you want with me. And if I win, you will have to run around the capital city naked while shouting "you like man"."
"Brother Yun! Have you lost your mind!?" Sikong Du turned around and looked towards Yun Che with disbelief in his eyes. He was ordered by Wuyou to protect Yun Che. But if Yun Che himself created trouble, he won't be able to do something about it. "Murong Yi is a member of the Heavenly Profound List! Let alone three months, you won't be able to defeat him in years worth of time! Do not say anything else, I'll handle it!"
"Heh! As everyone can hear, Yun Che himself has challenged me! If I didn't accept it, I would be considered a coward then. As such, I'll accept this challenge. In three months, Yun Che and I will have a duel with the current determined bets! Everyone, I want you to be witness to this challenge so he doesn't turn back on his words!"
"Murong Yi!" Sikong Du's eyes shot with fury. Now that Murong Yi had announced the acceptance of the challenge to everyone, even if he wanted to interfere and stop it, he won't be able to do so. The bet was already made and he could do nothing about it.
He just sighed and shook his head.
He was here to save Yun Che, but who knew he himself would dig a hole to jump into? He could only shake his head at the foolishness of his junior brother.
"Hahaha! What an interesting bet! Don't mind if this Wushang also became a witness to it."
A healthy young voice resounded in the hall, stealing everyone's attention. All of them turned towards the young man that appeared, their eyes widening in surprise. They hurriedly bowed towards the young man and shouted in union.
"Greetings, Vice Palace Chief!"
Qin Wushang waved his hand. He looked towards Yun Che with a glint in his eyes before his eyes moved towards Murong Yi and then to other people.
With a smile on his face, he said.
"Since the creation of my Blue Wind Profound Palace, there has been so little incident of a junior challenging his senior who is a whole realm above him. This really excites me! Hence, I'll personally oversee this challenge. I hope you won't mind it."
He looked towards Murong Yi and then towards Yun Che, as if waiting for their approval.
"Greetings, Vice Palace Chief. I have no problem."
Wushang nodded before turning his attention towards Yun Che, who sighed.
{Fuu~ I thought another mob appeared for this young master's nuts. Thankfully, that doesn't seem to be the case.}
{...}
"Greetings, Vice Palace Chief." Clasping his fits, Yun Che bowed and stated. "I have no objections with the Vice Palace Chief overseeing this event. I'm sure that the Vice Palace Chief will be an impartial judge."
"Good! Then it's decided! Much can change in three months, and who knows, Yun Che might really be able to put up a good fight against Murong Yi. No one knows! Three months from now, the fight between Yun Che and Murong Yi will happen in my presence. The loser will have to follow the bet placed!"
Announcing it to everyone, he looked towards Yun Che and smiled.
"Since Murong Yi is an inner palace disciple, he enjoys the cultivation resources of the inner palace. It won't be right for not allowing Yun Che to not do the same. For the sake of partiality, for the next three months, Yun Che can also enjoy all the resources of the inner palace and can enter any hall he wants too!"
Everyone's eyes widened. They couldn't help but look towards Yun Che with jealousy filled gazes, especially new disciples.
Everyone here had dreamed of becoming a part of the inner palace and all of them worked hard for it too. But now Yun Che was allowed to use all of the inner palace's resources without going through the outer and middle palace!
They could only grit their teeths in jealousy and wondered if they should also slap Murong Ye once or twice to enter the inner palace.
"This disciple thanks you for your help, Vice Palace Chief." Yun Che did the custom bow towards Wushang, who waved his hand and looked towards everyone.
"With this, everyone is dismissed. Please go back and report to your halls."
