Chapter 2056: An Unexpected Choice

Luo Tianqi looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief, thinking he had misheard.

At this critical juncture, Ye Yuan actually dared to tell him to get lost?

Not only Luo Tianqi, but the others also looked at Ye Yuan in astonishment.

"Grandmaster Ye, I think you haven't yet grasped the current situation. Once the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower collapses, do you think you can still roam freely in this Tianying Imperial City? Without the protection of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, Danyu Heavenly Emperor and the others will probably make you their first target!" Luo Tianqi sneered.

He felt it necessary to analyze the situation for Ye Yuan, otherwise he thought he was still that lofty grandmaster.

Ye Yuan looked at Luo Tianqi and said calmly, "You talk too much! I told you to get lost, didn't you hear?"

Luo Tianqi laughed in extreme anger, "Fine! Fine! When you become a homeless dog, I'll see what you have to be arrogant about! Don't come crying then!"

With that, Luo Tianqi turned to leave.

"Wait!" Ye Yuan suddenly called out.

Luo Tianqi stopped in his tracks, turned around, and sneered at Ye Yuan, "What, regret it? It's too late to regret now!"

Ye Yuan, looking languid, said indifferently, "I told you to roll, not to walk. Hear me?"

Luo Tianqi's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "You! You dare humiliate me? I, Luo Tianqi, am a member of the Luo family. Do you want to start a war with my Luo family?"

Ye Yuan's gaze turned cold, and a terrifying pressure crushed down on Luo Tianqi.

Bang!

Without any power to resist, Luo Tianqi was directly pressed to the ground by Ye Yuan's pressure.

Nearby, Yun Yi and other True God realm martial artists' pupils contracted as they watched this scene in shock.

There was no denying Ye Yuan's alchemy talent; they admired it wholeheartedly.

But they never expected Ye Yuan's martial arts to be so strong.

Although Luo Tianqi was at the True God realm, they couldn't have pinned him to the ground with just pressure alone.

Ye Yuan was not one to be aggressive; if you didn't want to become his disciple, you could just leave.

But this Luo Tianqi was too arrogant, always using the Luo family to pressure him, as if he were easy to bully.

Even if Ye Yuan were made of mud, he would have some temper, wouldn't he?

"You can say whatever you want behind my back. But saying it to my face is your mistake. From now until you roll out of Tianying, if I hear one more useless word, you won't have to leave. Don't doubt whether I dare; you can try," Ye Yuan said calmly.

With that, Ye Yuan withdrew his aura, and Luo Tianqi felt as if a great mountain had been lifted off him.

But no matter how arrogant he was, he wouldn't bet his life. So he kept his mouth shut, began rolling on the ground, and slowly rolled toward the city gate.

"Tianping, escort him out of the city. If he says another word, kill him directly!" Ye Yuan instructed Ning Tianping beside him.

Ning Tianping grinned and said, "Yes, sir!"

Ning Tianping looked at Luo Tianqi without any sympathy.

If you dare to show off in front of the master, you must be prepared to be slapped in the face.

This guy didn't even understand the situation before showing off; he was truly clueless.

The master dared to wrestle with Danyu Heavenly Sovereign; how could a mere True God realm member of the Luo family blaspheme him?

Even your ancestor coming would barely be enough!

The others were all silent, not daring to show off in front of Ye Yuan anymore.

Then Ye Yuan slowly spoke again, "I know you think Tianying is in decline, and you think I should take you as disciples to protect myself. But... you're overthinking it! That day at the Cloud Alchemy Conference, I made it very clear: if you want to become my disciple, you must pass many trials. I gave you the chance, but you didn't cherish it. So, Yun Yi and Yang Xuan stay; the rest of you can get lost!"

Yun Yi trembled all over, looking at Ye Yuan in surprise.

Duan Yunfei also looked incredulous, saying, "Grandmaster Ye, have you made a mistake? Yun Yi is a descendant of Danyu Heavenly Sovereign, and you want to take him as a disciple?"

Ye Yuan said calmly, "What does that matter? Battle is battle, taking disciples is taking disciples; they are two different things. You were the ones who mixed them up. I said that when I take disciples, I look first at character, second at temperament, and third at talent. If Yun Yi were like you, even if his talent were higher than the sky, I would still tell him to get lost. But compared to you, he is more like an alchemist. His future achievements will be beyond your reach."

Yun Yi trembled all over, crying tears of joy.

When he heard that the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower had withdrawn from the Southern Domain Alliance, Yun Yi had already despaired.

He knew that Ye Yuan would never take him as a disciple.

Who would take the descendant of their enemy as a disciple?

But he never expected that Ye Yuan would give him such a huge surprise.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

Yun Yi kowtowed three times to Ye Yuan, saying with tears of gratitude, "Master Ye, Yun Yi will follow you for life, unwavering until death!"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You were able to set aside your noble status and become a mere medicine boy in the Alchemy Tower. Ten years of persistence shows your sincere devotion to the Dao of alchemy. Others thought I wouldn't take you, but I want the world to see that Danyu's descendant will surely surpass him!"

Yun Yi said firmly, "Yes! Yun Yi will not disappoint Master Ye!"

Ye Yuan nodded, then turned to Yang Xuan and said, "Yang Xuan, from today on, you are my fourth disciple. Come, meet your senior brothers and sisters."

Beside Ye Yuan stood Bai Chen and Ning Siyu.

Since entering the Tongtian Realm, he had only taken Bai Chen as his first disciple, and Ning Siyu as the second.

Yang Xuan, excited, bowed to Ye Yuan repeatedly, then bowed to Bai Chen, Ning Siyu, and Yun Yi.

No one expected that the two disciples Ye Yuan ultimately took were the first and last place at the Cloud Alchemy Conference.

Yun Yi's identity was special; no one thought Ye Yuan would take him.

Yang Xuan was even more unremarkable, with hardly any background.

Yet these two ended up entering Ye Yuan's tutelage.

Duan Yunfei and the others watched this scene, their faces full of envy.

With Ye Yuan's guidance, these two would surely make great strides in the Dao of alchemy.

But they had missed this opportunity.

However, there was no medicine for regret in this world.

Ye Yuan was right; he had given them a chance, but they hadn't cherished it.

The battle between the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower and the Southern Domain Alliance would likely last at least ten years, or even decades.

And this period was enough for Ye Yuan to teach them many things.

Although no one thought the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower would win, they were still very envious.

"Alright, you can leave now," Ye Yuan said calmly.

Duan Yunfei and the others' expressions changed, but they finally left unwillingly.

They didn't dare to defy Ye Yuan again; Luo Tianqi was the best example.

After everyone had left, Ye Yuan said calmly, "You two have cultivated for ten years. What have you gained?"

Yun Yi bowed and said, "Master, Yun Yi has gained a great deal! Those people thought themselves superior and looked down on this cultivation, not realizing that you were already teaching us!"
