Chapter 95

The crowd had been fighting tooth and nail just a moment ago, but now they were all eager to have Ye Chen command the entire Xuanxue community of Jin Ling, and even the entire Nanguang region. Moreover, not a single person had any objections; they were all completely convinced by Ye Chen.

They had never seen a god-like man like Ye Chen, who could summon heavenly thunder with a single word!

This was an unimaginable great divine power in the field of Xuanxue!

Looking at Yu Jinghai, who had been scorched by the thunder on the ground, one knew that Ye Chen's strength was already unfathomable. Having such a person command them not only made everyone convinced, but they also hoped to receive Ye Chen's guidance.

Ye Chen frowned slightly and said to the crowd, "I am not a member of the Xuanxue community. I don't have much research on Feng Shui or Daoist arts, and I have no interest in Xuanxue. From now on, let Bao Fugui act as your representative for matters here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people present were shocked and opened their mouths wide.

The heavenly thunder just now was already shocking, and Master Ye actually said he had no interest in Feng Shui and Xuanxue? And that he wasn't even a member of the Xuanxue community?

Could it be that this was just a whim of his, and he just summoned a few bolts of heavenly thunder for fun?

Convinced!

Completely convinced!

The crowd was silent, looking at one another.

Bao Fugui looked at Ye Chen hesitantly and said respectfully, "It is truly an honor to be able to relieve Master Ye of his worries! From now on, I ask for everyone's support. We will handle minor matters ourselves, and for major matters, we will come to ask for Master Ye's opinion."

The heavy atmosphere eased a lot. Li Tailai, the richest man in Haicheng, immediately walked over and said respectfully, "Li thanks Master Ye for his intervention. I am willing to offer an eighty-million check to express my admiration!"

Guo Ming also stepped forward, cupping his hands in shame, "Many thanks to Master Ye for eliminating the menace! From now on, Guo is willing to obey any command from the supreme master of Nanguang!"

"Willing to obey your commands!"

Seeing these two step forward to flatter, the crowd immediately refused to fall behind, one after another offering flattery and compliments to Ye Chen. Some wanted to invite him to dinner, some expressed their loyalty, and some offered money and gifts, surrounding him tightly.

Bao Fugui added, "For today's banquet, the Wang family sponsored 150 million, which was originally intended as prize money for each winner. Now that Master Ye is first, this prize money should naturally be handed over to Master Ye."

Wang Zhenggang was still kneeling on the ground, not daring to get up, his forehead already bruised from kowtowing. He hurriedly said ingratiatingly, "Master Ye, it was this lowly one who was blind and almost harmed the heroes of Nanguang. I beg Master Ye to forgive me!"

Ye Chen frowned and said coldly, "Wang Zhenggang, didn't you believe in that Yu Jinghai quite a bit before?"

Wang Zhenggang kowtowed hurriedly, "Master Ye, this lowly one was completely deceived by that Yu Jinghai! Now I know that in front of you, Master Ye, he was nothing more than a bug. From now on, I will definitely keep my eyes open and worship Master Ye as supreme for the rest of my life!"

Having said that, Wang Zhenggang added, "Master Ye, to express my inner apologies, I am willing to gift Master Ye another villa. Once I have people clean it up, I will send you the keys. I beg Master Ye to forgive my crimes!"

A villa?

Ye Chen frowned slightly.

With his net worth, a villa was nothing.

However, if he were to buy one himself, it would certainly be inappropriate, as he wouldn't be able to explain the source of the funds to his wife.

But if someone wanted to gift him one, why should he be polite with them?

After all, the family was still living in the old house, and they really did need to change to a better environment.

As for this Wang Zhenggang, he was indeed a bit detestable, but considering his profound attitude of repentance, his crimes were not enough to warrant death.

So, Ye Chen nodded and said, "Consider yourself thoughtful. Let's leave it at that for this matter. If you ever fall into my hands again, I won't be so easy to talk to!"

Wang Zhenggang was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed in thanks, "Thank you, Master Ye, for your leniency! This lowly one will definitely reflect seriously and there will never be a next time!"

"Hmm." Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction.

Immediately, he looked at Qin Gang, who was standing to the side with a face full of terror.

He asked him indifferently, "Qin Gang, did your Qin family think that I, Ye Chen, cheated you out of your money?"

Qin Gang's legs went weak, and he plopped onto the ground, saying in terror, "This lowly one wouldn't dare! This lowly one was just confused for a moment and had slight doubts about Master Ye. Now I am completely convinced that Master Ye is the true Xuanxue master. I beg Master Ye to punish me!"

After speaking, he grabbed Qin Aodong, who was scared silly, and shouted angrily, "You bastard, kneel down for me!"

Qin Aodong was already trembling with fear. Upon being shouted at by Qin Gang, he knelt down instantly, trembling as he said, "Master Ye, I was wrong, Master Ye! Please forgive me, I really didn't mean to doubt you!"

Qin Gang slapped him hard across the face, then followed up with a backhand slap. He slapped him more than a dozen times in a row, until Qin Aodong's cheeks were swollen like a pig's head.

Qin Aodong didn't dare to move at all, kneeling on the ground and sobbing. At this moment, being beaten didn't matter to him; what he feared most was that Ye Chen would summon a bolt of heavenly thunder like he did to Yu Jinghai and strike him dead...

Beside him, Qin Aoxue's beautiful little face was also pale with fright.

She never dreamed that Ye Chen would actually be such a master with great divine powers.

Originally, she still had some anger toward Ye Chen in her heart, feeling that she had to find an opportunity to take revenge on this lecher for that kick. But now it seemed that the other party was so powerful that she could only worship him!

Fearing that Ye Chen would vent his anger on her younger brother Qin Aodong, she hurriedly knelt down as well and pleaded, "Master Ye, my brother is still young and ignorant. I beg you to spare him this once."

Seeing the three members of the Qin family kneeling before him, Ye Chen said indifferently, "Considering your good attitude in admitting your mistakes, I will let this matter pass for now. But if there are similar incidents in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Upon hearing this, the three members of the Qin family felt as if they had been granted amnesty and hurriedly kowtowed in thanks.

Song Wanting stood outside the crowd, watching this scene, her heart surging with a mix of emotions.

Before today, she had always thought that Ye Chen only had some attainments in antiques, but his background was ordinary, his family situation was ordinary, and he wasn't a big figure.

But she never expected that he was actually hiding his strength!

Today's scene truly left Song Wanting so shocked that she couldn't speak. She had never seen such a scene in her life.

At this moment, Ye Chen stepped up to a higher position, overlooking the crowd, and said coldly, "Listen to me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately looked up at Ye Chen with full respect, not daring to make a sound.

Ye Chen scanned the crowd and shouted sternly, "Regarding today's events, no one is allowed to mention them to the outside world after leaving this door. Otherwise, I will definitely make them taste the same fate as Yu Jinghai!"

The crowd's expressions tightened. It seemed Master Ye did not want his identity and strength to be spread!

He truly is a master who is extremely low-key!

Unlike that fame-seeking Yu Jinghai, who, having learned a few amateur tricks, went around showing off publicly.

Compared to Master Ye, he was simply worthless! He deserved his fate!

So, everyone cupped their hands and bowed, "We will strictly follow Master Ye's instructions!"

Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction and said, "In that case, everyone can disperse today!"
