The congregation of the 14 celestial sects had now gathered together and there was a grand banquet for the many celestial elders to exchange greetings with one another.
Ye Fan saw that the Profound Cloud Sect did not have a particularly big presence and after he was given some worldly tips by Elder Huo Fei and Fairy Xuan Xueqi, he had learnt that the Profound Cloud Sect was actually ranked 7th among the 14 celestial sects.
The 3 most powerful celestial sects were actually the Lineart Sword Sect, the Morjinn Martial Sect and the Divine Mist Peak.
This time the leadership of this meet fell upon the Morjinn Martial Sect.
Usually, the leadership of this trial was only rotated between these 3 powerful celestial sects.
There were many elders of the other celestial sects that had come to greet or they had come to toast the Profound Cloud Sect.
Ye Fan could tell that many of the elders were actually coming to look for the Fairy Xuan Xueqi. It was because most of their comments were:
"Alas, it has been a long time now. Fairy Xuan Xueqi, you have become more beautiful than ever…"
"We are so honor to have Fairy Xuan Xueqi to grace the presence of this meet…"
"What?! You are actually going to inside the trial?"
"Fairy Xuan Xueqi, do you remember me?"
"I wonder if Fairy Xuan Xueqi has found a dao partner already?"
The reason why Ye Fan knows that they were looking to chat with Fairy Xuan Xueqi rather than Elder Huo Fei was because they were all greeting Elder Huo Fei in a hurry and they were all spending more time to chat with Fairy Xuan Xueqi instead.
It was just too obvious.
There was a feeling of unhappiness that was swelling within Ye Fan when he saw that his protégé mistress was receiving so much attention by the many celestial elders.
It was not because he was envious of her but he was unsure why he was feeling unhappy about this.
While Elder Huo Fei and Fairy Xuan Xueqi were exchanging pleasantries with the other celestial elders that had come to their seats, Ye Fan were with Chen Yuyan, Fan De, Mei Yinxuan, Huangfu Ming, Ouyang Nana and the 4 other inner protégés.
As the eldest protégé brother in their group, Fan De was smiling as he said to Ye Fan, Chen Yuyan, Mei Yinxuan, Huangfu Ming and Ouyang Nana, "As we are all going inside the trial together, we ought to look after one another once we are inside. This trial is unlike the other trials and it is actually quite dangerous inside…"
He was suddenly interrupted by a jovial laughter from a young looking man and he was accompanied by two middle aged men walking behind him.
When he had appeared, the two celestial elders that were currently talking with Fairy Xuan Xueqi and Elder Huo Fei had suddenly excused themselves in a hurry.
"I see that you have guests…"
"Let's talk later when you are free…"
"Please excuse us first…"
This young man had a silver fan with him and he was waving it in front of him, "Hahaha… Fairy Xuan Xueqi, we have met again. So, have you considered my proposal that I have given you the last time?"
Fairy Xuan Xueqi looked a little unhappy when she saw this young man and she hummed, "So it is Young Master Zheng Tianwu."
Elder Huo Fei on the other hand, was smiling as he extended a hand bow to greet. "I wonder who it is. So it is Young Master Zheng Tianwu of the Morjinn Martial Sect. I wonder what proposal did you ask of Fairy Xuan Xueqi the last time?"
Young Master Zheng Tianwu laughed, "Naturally it is to ask Fairy Xuan Xueqi to be my little concubine. Such a great beauty is only fit to be in my harem!"
When he had said that, he was looking lecherous at Fairy Xuan Xueqi and his eyes were examining every inch of Fairy Xuan Xueqi's body; this made her really uncomfortable.
Fairy Xuan Xueqi hummed coldly, "You are too outrageous! Even if you are the young master of the Morjinn Martial Sect, how dare you speak in this manner to me!"
The middle age man next to Young Master Zheng Tianwu chipped in sharply, "Fairy Xuan Xueqi, it is just your lucky fortune that our young master has his eyes on you. Do you know how many maidens wanted to be in our young master's harem but they did not have the chance?"
Fairy Xuan Xueqi turned to look coldly at the middle age man, "Elder Su Yiba! I used to respect you until I realized that you are nothing but a flatterer."
Elder Su Yiba angrily said, "You slut! Goodness knows how many men you have already slept with by now! My young master is showing you face but you have actually refused showing him any face!"
"What did you just say?" There was a murderous intent from Fairy Xuan Xueqi as she moved her fingers to her sword scabbard. "I dare you repeat it again!"
For an unknown reason, Ye Fan was also feeling quite indignant and he had rose up to say. "How dare you be rude to my protégé mistress!"
Fairy Xuan Xueqi was startled by the sudden outburst from Ye Fan and she was curiously looking at him…
Young Master Zheng Tianwu stared coldly at Ye Fan and asked, "Your protégé mistress? Fairy Xuan Xueqi is your protégé mistress? What is your name, young man?"
Ye Fan continued to say angrily, "I am Ye Fan!"
Young Master Zheng Tianwu grinned coldly as he looked at Ye Fan, "Heehee, Ye Fan. You must have picked up plenty of cultivation skills from your protégé mistress, am I right? Do you dare to fight with me?"
Ye Fan angrily replied, "I am not afraid of you!"
"Fighting is forbidden in this place!" Fairy Xuan Xueqi panicky stepped in to stop them; she knows that Ye Fan was not the match of this Young Master Zheng Tianwu.
Young Master Zheng Tianwu snorted coldly when he had heard Fairy Xuan Xueqi, "I will be inside the trial. Don't let me see you inside, Ye Fan or I will surely teach you a lesson that you won't ever forget in your life."
Ye Fan answered coldly, "Indeed I will be inside the trial too. And don't let me see you as well!"
Young Master Zheng Tianwu hummed coldly as he displayed a slow smirk, "A mere 2nd cultivation realm wants to challenge me? Hahaha, this is really the funniest thing that I've ever heard."
He had stared at Ye Fan and had used his divine sense to check Ye Fan's cultivation core to read his cultivation level.
Young Master Zheng Tianwu himself was at the upper 4th cultivation realm level and he had also possessed several unique cultivation profound arts. Moreover, he also had the background of the powerful Morjinn Martial Sect to back him up.
Fairy Xuan Xueqi hummed coldly at Young Master Zheng Tianwu, "With me around, do you think that I will let you have this chance?"
Elder Su Yiba interrupted with a smile, "With me around, do you think that I will let you stop my young master inside the trial?"
Young Master Zheng Tianwu simply laughed coldly, "Maybe Fairy Xuan Xueqi likes me to shower her with my love in the wilderness of the trial instead. Hahaha..."
"You!!! You…" Fairy Xuan Xueqi was really upset now.
Elder Huo Fei coldly said, "Please leave!"
Young Master Zheng Tianwu coldly laughed but not before he took another careful examination of the beautiful figure of Fairy Xuan Xueqi, "I shall let you experience the pleasure of being in heaven with me very soon. Hahaha…"
Fairy Xuan Xueqi was really upset and she was trembling with rage.
Ye Fan had never seen his protégé mistress being this upset before.
But this time, he was fully on her side as he could not stand this arrogant Young Master Zheng Tianwu too.
Chen Yuyan on the other hand was seemingly looking at Young Master Zheng Tianwu with some interest...
