Chapter 97: Elder Jiang, Give Me Face!
The purple-clothed woman walked to the table of Jiang Ye and the others with lotus steps, her skirt hem flowing like water, rippling with layers of soft light under the lamp light.
She bowed slightly, a smile just right on her lips, her voice like pearls falling on a jade plate:
"I am Yang Han, I have seen the people of the Profound Heaven Sect..."
Her behavior was impeccable, and every frown and smile carried a charm that made people want to savor it.
Her smile fell into the eyes of everyone, and they all felt like a spring breeze.
Zheng Feng hurriedly stood up to return the salute, bowing solemnly: "I am Zheng Feng; speaking of which, I have met Miss Yang a few times."
Yang Han looked at him with a smile, her eyes flowing: "I have a deep impression of True Transmission Zheng of Tianyang Peak."
Hearing this, Zheng Feng, who had always been cautious, couldn't help but show a smile on his face.
Zheng Hui, who had been chattering with Chen Lili all the way, was like a social phobic at this time, shrinking in the corner, looking timid.
Because Yang Han was too beautiful, it gave her a feeling of being inferior.
Zheng Feng shook his head helplessly and said: "Miss Yang, this is my sister; she is a bit shy when she goes out, please don't be surprised."
Yang Han smiled slightly and didn't say much.
Her gaze flowed and finally landed on Jiang Ye.
Jiang Ye was calm and was about to speak.
Yang Han took the lead, the smile on her lips deepening: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be Elder Jiang who single-handedly wiped out the Black Wind Village, right?"
"Oh?!"
Jiang Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, and a trace of surprise appeared on his aged face.
He smiled faintly, his tone unable to tell whether he was happy or angry: "I didn't expect that my little reputation could reach Miss Yang's ears."
"It's not a little reputation." Yang Han revealed a look of sincere admiration, her autumn-water-like eyes looking at Jiang Ye, as if looking at some great hero: "Jiang Elder's feat, the little girl admires it very much."
Afterwards, her gaze turned to Chen Lili on the side, and she stayed on that familiar face for a moment.
The smile on Yang Han's face carried a bit of meaningful flavor:
"Long time no see, Lili, I didn't expect you to have been in the Profound Heaven Sect all these years."
Hearing this, Jiang Ye and the Zheng siblings all flashed a look of surprise on their faces.
They didn't expect Chen Lili to be an old acquaintance with this eldest lady of the Yang family.
Jiang Ye's thoughts turned, and he soon figured it out.
The Chen family was also one of the three major families in the prefecture city, so it was reasonable for her to know Yang Han.
A look of unnatural smile appeared on Chen Lili's face, a smile that carried a bit of politeness, a bit of alienation, and a bit of complexity that even she couldn't explain clearly.
She nodded slightly, her voice a bit lighter than usual: "Long time no see, Sister Yang, you are more beautiful than before."
Immediately after, she seemed to have thought of something and asked: "You guys wouldn't be going to Mount Tai'an too, right?"
Yang Han smiled lightly, and that smile bloomed on her stunning face, like a flash in the pan, breathtakingly beautiful.
She nodded, her tone carrying a bit more of a righteous flavor:
"Yes, we received news that the demonic person of the Qisha Sect is active near Mount Tai'an..."
She paused, her gaze scanned the crowd, and her expression became even more solemn:
"Wiping out the demonic sect is everyone's responsibility."
"My Yang family also has some reputation in Yunling Prefecture, how can we stand by and watch."
This was said in a high-sounding way, without any leaks.
But everyone present knew in their hearts.
The so-called wiping out the demonic sect was just an excuse.
Taking this opportunity to go to Mount Tai'an to get a share of the pie was the real purpose.
However, no one present pointed it out.
Yang Han didn't stay long.
She had a sense of proportion in doing things, just came over to say hello, and then smiled and said goodbye, without disturbing Jiang Ye and the others' meal at all.
Watching Yang Han's graceful back disappear at the corner of the stairs, a trace of strangeness flashed in Jiang Ye's aged eyes.
The other party emitted a wisp of lush vitality wood Qi, pure and long-lasting.
It seems she was a master of cultivating wood-element True Qi.
"It seems the Yang family sent two martial artists at the Embracing the Pill Realm this time."
Zheng Feng sized up the group of people from the Yang family implicitly.
Besides Yang Han, there was also a middle-aged man dressed in gray robes with a short and fat figure, emitting a burst of fire Qi around his body.
Clearly, he was also a martial artist at the Embracing the Pill Realm who cultivated fire-element True Qi.
Just at this moment.
"Eh, someone else is coming."
Zheng Hui on the side suddenly twitched her nose, her delicate little face frowned, her tone full of disgust:
"A bit of fragrance, but why is there a smell of musk..."
As soon as she finished speaking.
Another group of people came to the door.
The leader was a man dressed in luxurious brocade robes, with a delicate face, but there was a lingering evil spirit between his eyebrows.
He walked gloomily, and even the waiter who greeted him was scared back half a step by that momentum.
Behind him, followed a beautiful young woman with a graceful figure.
The young woman's face was full of sorrow, her eyes red and swollen, clearly having cried a lot not long ago.
Seeing the people coming, Chen Lili's expression changed slightly, and her fists clenched subconsciously.
Zheng Feng glanced at it casually, and a sneer of undisguised disdain appeared on his face: "People from the Feng family also came to join in the fun."
He knew that Jiang Ye had not been in the prefecture city for long and might not be very familiar with these people, so he whispered an introduction:
"Elder Jiang, the one leading is the third young master of the Feng family, named Feng Gang; although he is also a martial artist at the Embracing the Pill Realm, he can't compare with Yang Han just now..."
As he spoke, a look of undisguised disdain flashed on Zheng Feng's face.
Jiang Ye nodded slightly.
He could feel that the man's water-element True Qi was floating severely; clearly, he was a martial artist at the Embracing the Pill Realm who was forcibly piled up with massive resources. This kind of person had an unstable foundation and would be stuck at the early stage for the rest of his life, with no possibility of further progress.
No wonder Zheng Feng would be so disdainful.
"As for the lady beside him, she is called Sun Yu."
Zheng Feng said, a look of gossip appearing on his face, "The 'Head-Chopping Demon' that shook the prefecture city a few days ago exterminated her maternal family; it is said that she has made a blood oath to take revenge."
"Oh? I have heard of this."
Jiang Ye's expression remained unchanged, and a trace of playfulness flashed in his aged eyes.
He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said calmly:
"She is the survivor of the Sun family, right."
Zheng Hui on the side didn't forget to add a sentence in time, whispering: "The one full of musk smell is her."
Zheng Feng coughed helplessly: "What are you saying, little girl, pay attention to your words!"
"Cry, cry, cry, all day long only knowing how to cry!"
Feng Gang was cursing as he walked into the inn.
He stared at the beautiful woman beside him unceremoniously and cursed: "You ruined my mood."
"Husband... I really can't help it..."
Sun Yu trembled with sorrow: "I feel like my father, mother, and second brother are all blaming me for why I didn't avenge them every time I close my eyes now."
"Didn't I tell you, I have already arranged for people to investigate!"
Feng Gang was furious, his voice echoing in the inn hall: "And 'Head-Chopping Demon'... when the time comes, I will directly chop off his head and use it as a ball for you to kick!"
While cursing, his gaze had already landed on the purple figure not far away.
Greed that was not undisguised erupted in his gloomy eyes, and a wretched smile piled up on his face:
"Miss Yang's speed is really still so fast."
He was about to step forward to offer his services, when the corner of his eye suddenly swept to another table.
His body was stunned!
Those red eyes stared fixedly at Chen Lili sitting beside Jiang Ye, and an unprecedented anger exploded in his body like a volcanic eruption.
"Good you, Chen Lili!!!"
Feng Gang gritted his teeth, both angry and laughing, his voice full of crazy hatred:
"I said why I couldn't find you all these years... so you hid in the Profound Heaven Sect!!!"
The next instant.
He actually rushed up like a crazy wild dog, True Qi surging in his palm, fingers curled into a fist, and slammed toward Chen Lili's head.
This punch was fast and ruthless, determined to smash that head to pieces to relieve the hatred in his heart.
"Beast!!! I will be afraid of you!!!"
Facing Feng Gang's sudden attack, Chen Lili was fearless.
Her brows were full of extreme disgust and anger, and her strength surged out, actually wanting to shake the Feng Gang of the Embracing the Pill Realm with the strength of the Transformation of Force Realm.
But no matter how useless Feng Gang was, he was ultimately a martial artist at the Embracing the Pill Realm.
Under the blessing of True Qi, his speed was shockingly fast, and the heavy punch condensing water Qi approached Chen Lili's face in the blink of an eye.
The next instant.
A withered palm reached out like a ghost, steadily grabbing Feng Gang's wrist.
That all-out blow could no longer advance even half a point.
"Daring to attack the disciples of our Profound Heaven Sect, you have quite some guts."
Jiang Ye sneered, his aged face full of chilling coldness at this moment.
"People of the Feng family really want to die!"
Zheng Feng, who was about to take action, also stood up with a sneer.
Although he didn't know what deep hatred Feng Gang had with Chen Lili, the people of the Profound Heaven Sect were definitely not something outsiders could touch.
Immediately after.
In Jiang Ye's palm, a burst of red-gold True Qi erupted!
Hiss...
The water-element True Qi condensed on Feng Gang's hand was like snow meeting the scorching sun in front of that extremely yang and extremely rigid flame, instantly evaporated. That scorching heat followed closely, spreading wildly along his wrist.
"Ah——!!!"
Feng Gang, who was like a demon a second ago, let out a miserable wail.
That delicate face was distorted out of shape, the whole person struggled crazily, but couldn't break free from that withered palm.
"Elder Jiang, can you give me some face and show mercy."
Yang Han not far away walked up slowly, a decent smile on her stunning face, her tone soft and earnest.
However, Jiang Ye didn't even look at her.
He just lowered his eyes and looked at Feng Gang wailing in his hand, his aged eyes without any ripples.
The smile on Yang Han's face stiffened slightly.
