Chapter 1732: Mistaken Identity

Ye Liuyun remembered that Qiong Qi had said the Divine Realm is harsher than the Mortal Realm.

So when danger arises, these people get close; they probably have no good intentions.

As soon as they approach, Ye Liuyun immediately scans their core elixirs with his Golden Pupil to gauge their strength.

The old man's and the guard's abilities were both decent, while the woman was merely a decorative figure; her True Essence was of poor quality, likely boosted by pills.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun saw her running without any vigilance or defense, indicating she probably lacks combat experience.

Those guards were all ordinary, probably just taking on a job.

But he guessed that the woman must be an important figure of a great family; otherwise she wouldn't have so many guards.

The old man led his men to Ye Liuyun and his companions and then stopped.

He clasped his fists toward Ye Liuyun and introduced, "Young Master, we are of the Yuan family. I am the old Yuan Songping, and this is our Miss Yuan Tianyu!"

"A pleasure to meet you, Ye Liuyun!"

Ye Liuyun also clasped his fists, gave a brief self‑introduction, and then asked, "May I know what brings you here in such haste?"

The others were taken aback; they hadn't expected Ye Liuyun to react so calmly.

Immediately, the guard leader asked Ye Liuyun, "Are you from Ice Spring City?

Don't you know our Miss Yuan?"

"I don't know!"

Ye Liuyun replied, feigning ease.

He simply couldn't stand such bootlickers who look down on others.

Earlier, Ye Liuyun had heard Li Yuanyang mention that the Yuan family is a major power in Ice Spring City.

However, he had no respect for a Miss who relies solely on her family while lacking personal ability.

Especially with such bootlickers present, a fight could break out any moment.

That bootlicker might even utter some unpleasant words later.

"Enough!"

Yuan Tianyu stepped in, stopping the guard leader from continuing.

"My abilities are modest; there's nothing to show off."

Then she politely asked Ye Liuyun, "Young Master Ye, do you know what happened ahead?

Why did so many ferocious beasts roar together?"

Ye Liuyun, noting her courteous tone, thought the woman wasn't so unpleasant and replied, "We're not clear on the situation either.

But the roars are still some distance away, so there's no need to worry too much."

"Oh!"

Yuan Tianyu gave a brief "Okay," and had no further questions.

The guard leader, eager to impress his own Miss, shouted at Ye Liuyun, "If you don't know, why don't you go ahead and check? A quick inquiry would tell you! Go right now and report back to our Miss immediately!"

His words sparked anger in Ye Liuyun and his companions' eyes.

"What do you think you are?

to dare order me, little brother?"

Lei Ming, clutching his waist, angrily questioned the guard leader.

Black Panther immediately manifested its true form, let out a roar, and instantly targeted a few first‑stage First Realm guards.

In its true form, its speed is unmatched; even if it struck them directly, it worried about being at a loss.

"Roar!"

Lei Ming also let out a mighty roar, instantly revealing his true form.

She intended to attack Yuan Tianyu.

She knew she couldn't defeat the old man and the guard leader, so she could only hand them over to Ye Liuyun.

"Monster Beast?"

Yuan Songping startled, immediately reaching out to block between the two groups.

In Ice Spring City, there is no great power bearing the Ye surname.

And in the Divine Realm, any who can raise Monster Beasts is inevitably a great power.

Perhaps Ye Liuyun and his companions come from a great family of another major city.

Such people are not to be trifled with.

"Ah Tai, shut your mouth; you have no right to speak here!"

Yuan Songping first ordered the guard leader to be quiet.

The guard leader had assumed Ye Liuyun and his companions were of weak realms and easy to bully, but unexpectedly, these people actually intended to use force against them.

Moreover, two Monster Beasts appeared all of a sudden! He thought these people might have a significant background and therefore dared not speak further, lest he truly offend them.

Yuan Tianyu immediately gestured, telling both sides not to engage in combat.

She felt a bit uneasy under Lei Ming's stare.

Lei Ming's massive body was enveloped in Demon Qi and lightning, and the ferocious aura of the beasts added to her already shaky foundation, making her feel frightened.

Moreover, she hadn't intended for Ye Liuyun and his group to investigate the situation; it was merely the guard leader bullying people.

She explained to Ye Liuyun and his companions, "Young Master Ye, don't take my words to heart! I truly didn't intend for you to investigate."

Ye Liuyun remained silent, continuously watching the guard leader, contemplating whether to act.

The others also stared at Ye Liuyun, waiting for his stance.

The guard leader, being stared at by Ye Liuyun, felt a chill.

He thought oddly, "I'm a Second Realm Martial Cultivator; how could this kid frighten me?"

But even though he thought that in his heart, he still dared not lift his head to look into Ye Liuyun's eyes.

Yuan Songping also saw that these people were all waiting for Ye Liuyun's command.

And it wasn't only the two Monster Beasts, Lei Ming and Black Panther.

Long Nv also radiated the fierce, vicious aura of a ferocious beast.

Looking at the weapons the others wielded, the lowest were all second‑tier.

Ye Tiandao was still wielding a third‑tier weapon, even more impressive than the Yuan family head's weapon.

A woman was using a third‑tier weapon.

So he became even more certain that Ye Liuyun's status was extraordinary.

Yuan Songping, experienced, immediately guessed that Ye Liuyun was hesitating.

So he instantly stepped between Ye Liuyun and the guard captain, smiling as he said to Ye Liuyun, "Young Master Ye, why bother quibbling with a Servant?"

Ye Liuyun's line of sight was blocked, and his killing intent slightly subsided.

"You, the great, do not count the petty one's faults! Do not measure yourself against a Servant."

"This fellow has a terrible mouth; when I return I will definitely discipline him strictly!"

Yuan Songping smiled and clasped his fists to Ye Liuyun.

As the saying goes, one does not strike a smiling face; Ye Liuyun found it hard to lose his temper at him.

But regarding this group, Ye Liuyun did not wish to pay them any heed.

"Let's go!"

Ye Liuyun called out to the crowd and then headed straight toward the depths of the mountain range.

"Young Master Ye, that side is dangerous!"

Yuan Tianyu kindly reminded Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun, without turning his head, tossed out, "It's dangerous for you; I'm fine! You'd better not go over there either!"

Lei Ming let out a fierce roar toward the distance.

It showed that they were not at all afraid of the other ferocious beasts here.

"Miss, we should hurry and leave here!"

As soon as Ye Liuyun and his group left, Yuan Songping immediately urged Yuan Tianyu.

Yuan Tianyu kept looking toward Ye Liuyun's direction, trying to see if they would encounter danger.

"Why?"

She asked casually.

"Didn't you see the Thunder Dragon Beast's final roar?"

"And its meaning was obvious; the commotion inside was caused by their people."

"From the scale of the beast's cry, they probably have many people."

"They didn't act earlier, perhaps because their strong ones were absent, and they feared being at a disadvantage."

"But if their strong ones return, I fear they will kill us in retaliation!"

Yuan Songping explained.
