Chapter 104: Blind Eyes, Blind Heart!

Ma Jian, upon seeing the newcomer, immediately quickened his pace and stepped forward two steps, his tone full of flattering respect.

"Jian Lao! How did you come?"

He had long heard of Jian Tui Zhi's reputation.

Yitian Pavilion, the resident Grandmaster in Jiangcheng, has unfathomable strength.

Even his grandfather must give a few points of thin respect to this top‑tier strongman.

Jian Tui Zhi's gaze fell on Ma Jian, and his originally icy eyes softened a few degrees.

"So it's the Ma family's youngster; why come to Jiangcheng for the Auction Hall? And cause such a big commotion!"

He had met the Ma Family Old Master a few times years ago at a martial arts exchange meeting.

That counts as a bit of acquaintance, so he was naturally a few degrees more courteous to Ma Jian.

Ma Jian hurriedly smiled and explained, his expression looking very aggrieved.

"Jian Lao, I didn't want any trouble either! It was these two who started fighting in the hall, ignoring Yitian Pavilion's rules. I only called security to maintain order, and they even dared to hit the guards!"

Jian Tui Zhi gave Nie Qianxue a cold glance, then seemed to recall something and asked casually.

"By the way, Ma family's youngster, where is your grandfather? Why haven't we seen him lately?"

Hearing this, Ma Jian immediately bowed and replied.

"Answering Jian Lao, my grandfather has been in seclusion at home, saying he has some new insight in cultivation. He keeps muttering about you, saying he wants to spar with you when he has time."

With those words, Jian Tui Zhi's previously calm eyes instantly flashed with a hint of surprise.

Even the crutch in his hand gave a light tap, and his voice rose a few degrees.

"Oh? Lao Ma is about to breakthrough? He's already a Fourth Grade Grandmaster; if he advances further, he'll become a Fifth Grade Grandmaster!"

"Looking across the whole Jiangnan Province, there are few Fifth Grade Grandmasters; when that happens, the Ma family's status will be even more solid!"

Those around, hearing this, inhaled a gasp of cold air.

A Fourth Grade Grandmaster is already terrifying; a Fifth Grade Grandmaster is a legendary existence!

If the Ma Family produces a Fifth Grade Grandmaster, they'll surely sit firmly on the head chair of the Jiangnan Nine Great Families!

Ma Jian's pride on his face almost overflowed, yet he deliberately pretended to be humble.

"Jian Lao, you flatter me; whether my grandfather can breakthrough is still uncertain! But he said, if he truly breakthroughs, he'll definitely consult you at once."

"Good! Very good!"

Jian Tui Zhi smiled and nodded, his gaze toward Ma Jian growing warmer, then he turned his tone, with a hint of admonition.

"But you, kid, be decent at Yitian Pavilion, don't keep stirring up trouble. If Lao Ma learns you caused such a chaotic scene here, he'll surely scold you later."

That tone wasn't blame at all; it was clearly an elder's indulgence toward a junior.

Ma Jian immediately followed up, putting on a docile demeanor.

"Jian Lao, you're right! I know I was wrong!"

"The main issue is those two were too over the line; they not only snuck into the Auction Hall but also started fighting. I was only arguing with them to uphold Yitian Pavilion's rules."

As he spoke, he didn't forget to point at Jiang Feng and Nie Qianxue.

"Look, my men were knocked down by them, and my woman was slapped; I couldn't just stand by and do nothing, could I?"

Jian Tui Zhi's gaze finally turned back to Nie Qianxue.

Sensing Nie Qianxue's cultivation, he couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"Since when has Yitian Pavilion's territory become a place where even a Six Grade Martial Artist dares to run amok?"

In his eyes, a Six Grade Martial Artist is no different from ants.

Nie Qianxue daring to lay hands on him in front of him was sheer ignorance of the heavens and earth.

Nie Qianxue's heart tightened, yet she forced herself to speak.

"Jian Lao, you misunderstand! The matter isn't as Young Master Ma said!"

"It was Ye Xiaoyue who first spread rumors slandering Mr. Jiang, and Young Master Ma indiscriminately ordered security to drive people away. We were forced into it! If you don't believe, you can ask the people around; they can all testify!"

Jian Tui Zhi didn't even lift an eyelid, cutting her off with an icy tone.

"Yitian Pavilion's rule is that no one may fight inside the hall. Whoever initiates the trouble, the act is wrong! Now, both of you, leave Yitian Pavilion immediately, and never step inside again!"

"Jian Lao! How can you be so indiscriminate?"

Nie Qianxue became urgent, still wanting to explain, but Jiang Feng gently pulled her aside.

Jiang Feng stepped forward, blocking Nie Qianxue, his gaze coldly fixed on Jian Tui Zhi.

"Is Yitian Pavilion really such an indiscriminate place? Even though you're in the Master Realm, you haven't even clarified the cause and effect, yet you judge us guilty based solely on Ma Jian's one‑sided words. How are you any different from those bullies who abuse their power?"

"You're nothing but a blind‑eyed, heart‑blind fool!"

Those words were like a bomb, exploding loudly throughout the hall!

The people around froze instantly, forgetting even to breathe.

No one dared to believe that anyone would dare speak to a Grandmaster like that!

Ma Jian was stunned for three seconds, then pretended to roar in anger.

"Jiang Feng! Are you crazy? How dare you speak to Jian Lao like that! Do you know what fate awaits those who insult a Grandmaster? You're doomed! This time no one can save you!"

But in fact, at this moment his heart was overjoyed.

Jiang Feng is digging his own grave!

Jian Tui Zhi values a Grandmaster's dignity above all; being insulted like this, he will surely deal with Jiang Feng personally.

By then, even if Jiang Feng had ten lives, it wouldn't be enough to atone!

Ye Xiaoyue also covered her reddened, swollen face, her eyes full of malicious glee.

"Jiang Feng! You deserve it! How dare you insult Jian Lao; today you'll surely be beaten into a cripple!"

Jian Tui Zhi's complexion instantly turned iron‑blue, and the deep red crutch in his hand slammed heavily onto the ground.

Only a Dong sound was heard, and the ground instantly split open a narrow crack.

A powerful, overbearing aura burst from him, and the people around were pressed by it to the point of almost suffocating, retreating several steps backward.

"You brat! How dare you insult the Grandmaster!"

Jian Tui Zhi's voice was full of murderous intent, his gaze carving at Jiang Feng like a knife.

"I think you're fed up with life! I originally only wanted you to leave, now don't even think you can get out of this door!"

He has lived so long, yet has never been insulted like this before.

This is not only a slap to his face, but also a trampling of the Grandmaster's Dignity!

Ma Jian Standing at the side, Laughter growing more smug, already began to imagine the dreadful fate Jiang Feng would meet at Jian Tui Zhi's hands.

Daring to oppose him, daring to offend the Grandmaster, Jiang Feng, even if he doesn't die today, will have to shed a layer of skin!

Nie Qianxue's face turned deathly pale, instinctively trying to shield Jiang Feng, but Jiang Feng pulled her back again.

A Grandmaster-level powerhouse is no longer something Nie Qianxue can handle.

Jiang Feng looked at Jian Tui Zhi's uncontainable fury, his face still expressionless, even giving a slight shake of his head.

"What does being a Grandmaster matter? If you can't discern right from wrong, no matter how strong you are, you're just a brainless brute."

"You're courting death!"

Jian Tui Zhi, completely enraged, suddenly swung the Crutch in his hand toward Jiang Feng.

An invisible wave of Qi, accompanied by a howling wind, rushed straight at Jiang Feng's chest.

For this strike, he used fifty percent of his strength, enough to crush this clueless brat!
