Chapter 1159: Breakdown in Negotiations
"My Youwei carries the Dao Ding, so the Evil Dragon within the Eight Diagrams Heavenly Thunder Array will forever remain trapped."
Ye Xuan's words were not loud but were firm, with an undeniable force within them.
The crowd inside the great hall seemed to be shocked by Ye Xuan's words.
But after a while, many people lowered their heads, revealing a mocking smile.
These words are entirely without evidence and don't hold up.
Who can't say big words?
"Even if what you say is true, this matter is not for an outsider like you to decide; it is an internal affair of our Floating Mountain!"
At this moment.
A white-clad youth walked in from the outside, handsome and extraordinary in demeanor.
Before stepping into the hall, his voice had already been heard.
"Ji Zifan..."
Upon seeing the newcomer, Dou Su Saint narrowed his eyes slightly.
Ji Zifan!
One of the torchbearers of the young generation from the Ji Family of Floating Mountain.
The Dou Su Saint had long heard of this person and had seen his portrait.
Seeing him now, found that he was even more remarkable in person.
Aside from his profound cultivation, he also carried an aura of killing intent.
Presumably, it was the residue from having just slain members of the Evil God Sect.
"Ji Zifan greets the Saint Master, the Elders, and seniors of Dou Su Palace."
Ji Zifan bowed.
"Zifan, why are you here?" Ji Wenchang was momentarily stunned upon seeing Ji Zifan, then said, "Zifan, Young Master Ye is a benefactor of our Floating Mountain, so do not be rude."
Ji Zifan looked at Ye Xuan, his eyes cold, and said coldly, "This person has come for the Dao Ding from the start, I suspect he has long colluded with the Evil God Sect!"
After speaking, Ji Zifan recounted his experiences to everyone.
During which, Ji Zifan exaggerated, saying how Ye Xuan was unreasonable and unclear in his motives.
Combined with the sudden abnormality of the Evil Dragon and the attack by the Evil God Sect.
Then Ye Xuan appeared as a savior.
Connecting all these, Ji Zifan accused Ye Xuan of colluding with the Evil God Sect.
After Ji Zifan said these things, many people began to look at Ye Xuan with suspicion.
Previously, they did not have this suspicion.
But unable to withstand Ji Zifan's words.
People are influenced by words.
Even though there were flaws in Ji Zifan's words, people still began to suspect Ye Xuan.
After all, it was all too coincidental.
"Ye Xuan was brought back by me; if you say he colluded with the Evil God Sect, then are you not also saying I colluded with the Evil God Sect?"
At this time, others arrived again from outside.
This time, it was Ji Ziqing, Zhou Youwei, and Zhu Xiuxiu.
The appearance of the three immediately attracted everyone's attention in the hall.
Ji Ziqing wore a tight green dress, her curves enticing, making one's blood boil, with her long legs subtly visible, captivating countless eyes.
At this moment, Ji Ziqing's face was cold, her beautiful eyes filled with anger as she stared at Ji Zifan.
Behind her, Zhou Youwei wore a white wide-sleeved long gown, looking like a fairy untouched by worldly affairs, clean and refined, her icy blue eyes resembling a frosty realm, brimming with coldness.
Evidently, Ji Zifan's slander left Ji Ziqing and Zhou Youwei very displeased.
Towards the side, Zhu Xiuxiu was dressed in red armor, her hair tied in a ponytail, holding a blade in her arm, appearing indifferent yet energetic.
"Such a pretty young lady…" Dou Su Saint's eyes lit up slightly and his posture subconsciously straightened.
"Youwei."
Upon seeing the newcomers, Ye Xuan smiled slightly and beckoned for Zhou Youwei to come over.
"Husband."
Upon seeing Ye Xuan, Zhou Youwei showed a sweet smile and obediently walked over to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan, with no hesitation, pulled Zhou Youwei into his arms.
Ignoring Zhou Youwei's exclamations and blushing, Ye Xuan let her sit on his lap.
Many present were old hands, pretending not to see that scene.
As if nothing was amiss, Zhu Xiuxiu sat beside Qiankun Ancestor, relaxed and composed.
Dou Su Saint's eyes instantly turned slightly gloomy, secretly thinking: "What a shame she was taken by a boor!"
Involuntarily, Dou Su Saint glanced at Ji Ziqing, thinking at least there's another one.
Ji Wenchang coughed lightly, frowned, and looked at Ji Ziqing, saying: "Ziqing, don't speak out of turn."
"Ziqing, is she Ji Ziqing?"
Dou Su Saint was suddenly surprised and subconsciously said.
Ji Wenchang nodded slightly and said: "Indeed, she is my daughter Ji Ziqing."
Dou Su Saint was pleasantly surprised, looking at Ji Ziqing, he said very politely: "Ziqing, I am your fiancé, Dou Su Saint."
Ji Ziqing's already frosty face became even darker at this moment, and she coldly snorted: "I've never had a fiancé, young master, please watch your words."
Dou Su Saint was not embarrassed, smiled slightly, and said: "That's true, this matter should not have been told to you by uncle, no rush, once uncle tells you later, you'll understand."
Ji Ziqing suddenly raised her head, looked at her father Ji Wenchang, her eyes slightly red, biting her lip hard, yet did not speak.
Ji Wenchang, feeling guilty, dared not meet Ji Ziqing's eyes, and could only change the subject back, looking at Ye Xuan, saying: "Young Master Ye, could you speak to everyone about sealing the Evil Dragon?"
Ye Xuan was teasing Zhou Youwei and without raising his head said, "Nothing much to say, it's still the same, let my Youwei carry the Dao Ding, and everything will be fine."
"Saint Master, absolutely do not trust a guy who's colluded with the Evil God Sect!" Ji Zifan said coldly.
"I said, Young Master Ye is not! Whereas you, clearly failed to blood bond the Zhou Yi Book, so why lie!?" Ji Ziqing said coldly as well.
"What?"
Upon this word, the members of the Ji Family within the Floating Mountain in the hall showed changed expressions and looked towards Ji Zifan.
Ji Zifan panicked slightly but then said: "What a joke, this matter is known by all the Elders of our Floating Mountain, don't change the subject!"
"Ziqing has always spoken for this person, does this mean, as you said yourself, you also colluded with the Evil God Sect?"
Ji Zifan immediately used a Tai Chi technique to redirect the topic back.
"Enough."
Ye Xuan said blandly: "Since we can't agree, there's no need to talk, Youwei's entry into the Floating Mountain is canceled, you can let anyone you want carry the Dao Ding, when I need it, I'll come to take it myself."
Having said this, Ye Xuan pulled Zhou Youwei up, and walked out.
Paused when passing Dou Su Saint, casually said: "You are a person with much character, such people often die quickly."
With the words fallen, Ye Xuan ignored Dou Su Saint's gradually gloomy face, pulled Zhou Youwei along, and left.
Qiankun Ancestor and Qiao Xinyu passed by, also glanced at Dou Su Saint.
"Boring."
Zhu Xiuxiu carrying her blade followed after Ye Xuan.
"They're feeling guilty!" Ji Zifan shouted, "Seize them!"
Bang!
The response to Ji Zifan was a terrifying loud bang.
The entire great hall shook.
At that instant, everyone turned pale.
