Chapter 2850: I Never Expected You to Be Like This!

Earlier, Ye Yuan was clearly not at his residence.

With so many people gathered here, where did Ye Yuan pop out from?

Even Zhu Yan, an Imperial Realm expert, was greatly surprised; he had not noticed Ye Yuan's return at all.

But Wang Lin and the others seemed greatly invigorated.

The main party had arrived!

Aren't you Zuo Chen so formidable? Aren't you so doting on this disciple?

Today, I will slap your face hard in front of the entire sect!

Wang Lin looked at Zhu Yan with a playful expression and said, "Didn't you say he wasn't here? What do you have to say now?"

Zhu Yan looked embarrassed, then turned to Ye Yuan with a look of frustration at his lack of ambition.

Couldn't you have just hidden?

Coming out now only confirms the label 'turtle with its head tucked in'!

Lü Daoyi looked at Ye Yuan and sneered, "So you're Ye Yuan? I thought you were some remarkable genius, but after all this fuss, you're just a turtle!"

Ye Yuan looked at Lü Daoyi and said flatly, "And who are you?"

Lü Daoyi smiled smugly and said, "You don't know who I am? Listen carefully: I, Lü Daoyi, am the number one fifth-rank Heavenly Alchemist of the Ultimate Medicine Sect! Soon, I will become the number one sixth-rank Heavenly Alchemist! I have only one goal: Pine Spring Ancestor! I will step into the Profound Rank before entering the Imperial Realm!"

This self-introduction was undeniably impressive.

Because daring to take Zhou Songquan as a goal was itself a very courageous thing.

Moreover, Lü Daoyi had the capital for it.

He was only at the Saint Emperor Heaven Great Perfection and had already defeated a strongman like Hua Zong.

When he reached the True Emperor Heaven Great Perfection, it wasn't impossible for him to enter the Profound Rank.

Logically, Lü Daoyi's arrogance should have provoked many people's ire.

But it didn't at all!

"Lü Daoyi's recent seclusion has truly transformed him! I never expected him to set Pine Spring Ancestor as his goal!"

"It sounds arrogant, but he really has hope! I heard that when Pine Spring Ancestor was at the fifth rank, he could already defeat the sect's top sixth-rank Heavenly Alchemists!"

"Uncle Qinshan has taken a good disciple! Although we are at the seventh rank, we might be caught up by him if we're not careful!"

...

In the previous battle, Lü Daoyi had displayed formidable alchemical strength.

After ten years of seclusion, he had truly transformed and shocked the world with one battle!

Even the young Zhou Songquan was probably not much stronger than Lü Daoyi.

Perhaps when Lü Daoyi reached the True Emperor Heaven Great Perfection, he would indeed step into the Profound Rank.

Ye Yuan listened and laughed inwardly.

The Profound Rank—was it really that hard?

He said flatly, "So impressive? Since you're already number one, why come looking for me?"

Lü Daoyi said calmly, "I just emerged from seclusion and heard that the sect had gained a peerless genius of the same rank. Naturally, I had to come and defeat him! Otherwise, how could I solidify my title as number one? But seeing you, I'm disappointed! You are not worthy to be my opponent!"

These words were half true, half false.

He did look down on Ye Yuan, believing Ye Yuan unworthy to be his opponent.

But the other half was to provoke Ye Yuan, then slap his face hard in front of everyone.

That would feel great!

Unexpectedly, Ye Yuan didn't take the bait and said flatly, "Oh, if that's the case, why are you still here? You can leave now."

At these words, everyone was taken aback.

So cowardly?

Even Zhu Yan and the others were stunned.

Then they felt deeply ashamed.

How could the master have taken such a disciple? He had no backbone at all!

If Lü Daoyi were at the True Emperor Heaven, it would be one thing, but Lü Daoyi was only at the Saint Emperor Heaven!

Even if he knew he couldn't win, he shouldn't back down in this situation!

Otherwise, what would others think of the master, and what would they think of you?

Moreover, Ye Yuan had only been in the sect for a day; losing wouldn't be shameful.

But Ye Yuan didn't take the bait!

Disappointment, utter disappointment!

Lü Daoyi looked at Ye Yuan and laughed, "So, you admit defeat?"

Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I never said that."

Lü Daoyi was taken aback again and said, "Since you don't admit defeat, then let's compete!"

Ye Yuan continued shaking his head and said, "You go ahead. I won't compete with you because it's meaningless."

Lü Daoyi laughed scornfully, "So you're dead set on being shameless?"

"Think what you will." Ye Yuan, uninterested, turned and left, leaving the crowd dumbfounded.

This Lü Daoyi simply didn't interest him; he didn't even have the desire to slap his face.

Was defeating Hua Zong such a big deal?

Was taking Zhou Songquan as a goal such a big deal?

But to others, Ye Yuan's behavior was just stubborn fronting!

Clearly not a match, not even daring to compete, yet refusing to admit defeat.

Such a person would never amount to much!

"I thought Uncle Zuo Chen had taken some incredible disciple! Now I see, it's just embarrassing!"

"Even if he competed and lost, we wouldn't look down on him. At least he has courage! But now, clearly not a match yet refusing to admit defeat—hah!"

"What a joke! Uncle Zuo is truly blind, taking in a coward and treating him like a treasure!"

...

Ye Yuan's departure stirred up a huge uproar.

Zhu Yan and the others wished they could find a hole to crawl into.

They had lost face completely!

After Wu Jiang and the others were sent away, their impression of Ye Yuan had improved, but now it immediately reverted to square one.

No, it was worse than square one!

This wasn't just disgracing yourself; it was disgracing the master!

Lü Daoyi laughed loudly, "Brother Zhu Yan, Uncle Zuo Chen was wise all his life, but even he can make mistakes in judgment! Such trash, I, Lü Daoyi, don't even have the desire to slap his face! Brother Wang, let's go!"

Wang Lin laughed and said, "Indeed, for you to fight such a person would be beneath your dignity. Let's go!"

With that, the Qinshan lineage left directly.

This match was no longer necessary.

The effect was even better than defeating Ye Yuan.

The Zuo Chen lineage would probably be unable to hold their heads up for a long time.

Moreover, Lü Daoyi's victory over Hua Zong in this battle would surely shock the entire sect!

Their goal had been exceeded.

...

At Ye Yuan's residence, Zhu Yan was very displeased and said sternly, "Junior Brother, how could you do this? You must understand that you represent not only yourself but also the master! Admitting defeat would have been one thing, but you refused to admit defeat and wouldn't even fight—you've disgraced the master completely!"

Ye Yuan was unconcerned and said with a smile, "Third Senior Brother, that Lü Daoyi simply doesn't interest me. Competing with him would be a complete waste of time!"

Zhu Yan was taken aback and laughed scornfully, "So you think you're better than him?"

Ye Yuan nodded matter-of-factly and said, "Of course."

Zhu Yan's smile turned into a sneer, "If you're better than him, why didn't you compete?"

Ye Yuan said flatly, "Because he's too weak!"

Zhu Yan couldn't help but laugh loudly, "Hahaha, even I, your senior brother, wouldn't dare say Lü Daoyi is weak, yet you call him weak? Junior Brother, you've disappointed me greatly! I never expected you to be like this!"

With that, Zhu Yan flicked his sleeves and left!
