Classic program: Being ridiculed

Time passed bit by bit, and the day of the birthday banquet arrived.

Chen Ye was eager to try; he had waited for this day for eighty thousand years, countless days and nights.

Now, his long-cherished wish was about to be fulfilled, how could he not be excited?

He tightened his grip on the white jade axe in his hand and thought to himself, “I will definitely win first place and rescue my mother.”

The power that brought him in had already arranged everything and completed the registration.

Now, it was up to Chen Ye.

Chen Ye also disguised himself, walking discreetly into the Nangong Family.

Perhaps on the arena, there would be a touching scene of father and son recognizing each other.

If they could survive, that is.

NanGong XiMeng bathed Xiao Fan, changed his clothes, and combed his hair.

She was very meticulous, wanting Xiao Fan to display his rightful status as the most handsome man in the world.

A perfect and flawless peerless beautiful man.

“There’s no need to be so troublesome,” Xiao Fan said.

NanGong XiMeng refused, “No, I just listened to you, now you must listen to me.”

The blush on her face had not yet faded.

Her originally elegant and serene beautiful eyes were now tinged with a hint of charm, and her dignified and graceful posture was somehow supple and slender.

Perhaps the steam was a bit hot, making her face flush.

“Alright then.”

Xiao Fan enjoyed NanGong XiMeng’s service.

Was there anything more wonderful than the Tiandao Sect’s Goddess, the Young Miss of a Saintly Way, whom the world regarded as unattainable, meticulously bathing him?

NanGong XiMeng selected clothes for him and carefully helped him change.

Each piece was meticulously chosen until she was satisfied.

It took her a full half-day before she nodded and said, “This is about right.”

She looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction: a face like jade, eyes like stars.

Paired with neat and sharp eyebrows, that dignified yet exquisite masculine face was like the masterpiece of the most perfect creator in the world.

Several times, NanGong XiMeng inadvertently caught a glimpse of Xiao Fan’s profile and was stunned by him.

His physique was also perfect, wearing this purple-gold robe made of Divine Fire Silkworm Silk.

Noble and refined yet handsome and unrestrained, without overshadowing others.

It could be said that in all aspects, whether it was strength, appearance, temperament, or aura, Xiao Fan fulfilled NanGong XiMeng’s fantasies.

As expected, he is the partner in my prophecy.

Xiao Fan teased, “You’ve dressed me up so alluringly, aren’t you afraid I’ll bring back a few more sisters for you?”

NanGong XiMeng chuckled softly, “Hmph, if you have the ability, bring a few more back, I guarantee I won’t say a word.”

Xiao Fan: “…”

You said it, I’ve noted it down!

...

The Grand Hall of the Birthday Banquet was already packed with people.

One after another, people from various aristocratic families, Imperial Dynasties, and Sects appeared.

They presented heavy gifts in celebration.

“The Great Yue Immortal Imperial Dynasty presents a bottle of Nine Spirit Saint Pills, ten scrolls of ancient immortal techniques and Divine Abilities, and a hundred zhang of Primordial Gauze.”

“The Heavenly Chasm Holy Land of the Feathered Immortal Domain presents seven Heavenly Sea Dragon Pearls, ten Boundless Night Pearls, and ninety-nine grains of Star Sea Chaos Sand.”

“Venerable Golden Spirit of East Luo Heaven presents three Buddhist Primordial Relics, one Heavenly Evolution Star Immortal Sword…”

“…”

One after another, invaluable treasures that would cause a bloodbath in the outside world were all given as congratulatory gifts here.

Some forces felt it was still not enough and added a few more items.

Fearing to lose face.

It wasn’t that they were generous, but rather they knew that no matter how precious these treasures were, they seemed insignificant in the face of the survival of their forces.

The uncertainty of the Great World was too dangerous, and gaining the favor of a Saintly Way was crucial.

Perhaps this gift would allow their affiliated forces to avoid destruction in the future.

There were precedents for this.

For example, in the previous Great World, a single word from the Nangong Family saved dozens of forces from annihilation.

Buying peace with money, a little more expensive didn’t matter.

Chen Ye also followed in, thinking for a moment.

After all, his mother was a member of the Nangong Family, and the relationship shouldn’t be too strained.

“Perhaps I can send some good gifts, then when I make a request, they won’t be able to refuse!”

Thinking this, Chen Ye had a plan.

He walked into the gift-giving line, took out his more valuable gifts, and prepared to present them.

But when it was his turn, an unexpected event occurred.

The person reading the congratulatory gifts looked at Chen Ye with some surprise.

Everyone who came here was either rich or noble, but he was unique, wearing the clothes of an ordinary attendant.

Out of politeness, that person still asked, “This guest, which force do you represent?”

Chen Ye smiled and said, “I don’t represent any force; I’m here to give a gift on my own behalf.”

With that, he took out an Incomplete Manual and said seriously, “This is an Incomplete Manual of the Saintly Way, containing the mysteries of becoming a Saint; I specially present it to the Nangong Family Head.”

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall fell silent.

An Incomplete Manual of the Saintly Way, the mystery of becoming a Saint… It must be fake!

You?

He perfectly triggered the Child of Destiny’s passive ability, drawing ridicule!

“Hey, hey, hey, can you stop causing trouble?”

“Where did this Taiyi True Immortal come from, claiming an Incomplete Manual of the Saintly Way? Do you even know what the Saintly Way means?”

“Look at your attire, my dog dresses better than you…”

“…”

It was really no wonder others doubted him.

He was dressed casually, and his aura was restrained, only displaying the Taiyi True Immortal Realm.

And he had a swaggering, somewhat smug look about him.

The person reading the congratulatory gifts thought the same.

At such a high-profile ceremony, Chen Ye’s attire and demeanor were completely out of place; any normal person would think he was here to cause trouble.

“Guards, escort him out.”

“Today is a day of great joy, it’s not suitable to see blood, just let him suffer a bit.”

The person reading the congratulatory gifts ordered, telling people to come and drag him away.

Chen Ye only felt that these people were judging him by his appearance; I sincerely congratulate you, yet you want to drive me away.

Can this be endured?

He immediately showed a small display of his skills, and his Da Luo Realm strength erupted.

He sent those who came to apprehend him flying.

Those who were not careful were directly shaken with internal injuries, spitting blood.

The sudden change caught the people present off guard; what happened?

Chen Ye sneered, “What do you mean by this? I presented a congratulatory gift, yet you want to apprehend me.”

“Is this your way of treating guests?”

The commotion here immediately attracted the attention of an Nangong family Elder.

An Nangong family Elder at the Da Luo Realm flew over, looking at the scattered scene, he asked:

“Who is causing trouble here? Do you have a death wish?”

Chen Ye was not afraid in the slightest.

He was not wrong; the ones who were wrong were these servants who judged people by their appearance.

The person who was reading the congratulatory gifts immediately reported the truth, without any omissions.

That Elder looked at Chen Ye, also very suspicious.

However, at this moment, Chen Ye’s Da Luo aura was fully displayed, very domineering.

Perhaps he was not lying.

“Bring that Incomplete Manual over, let me see.”

“Yes, sir.”

The Nangong family Elder took the Incomplete Manual and, after just a quick glance, found it incredibly profound.

His face showed a look of shock.

Everyone looked at the face of the Nangong family Elder and also saw a clue; could it be that what this person said was true?

Chen Ye stood with his arms crossed, his expression composed, clearly having anticipated the outcome.

The Nangong family Elder greeted him with a smiling face, saying, “This guest, may I ask your esteemed name?”

Chen Ye’s expression softened slightly, and he also responded with a smile, “Elder, there’s no need to be so polite, just call me Ye Chen.”

He didn’t use his real name, making up a fake one.

“Good.”

Then, that Elder personally announced, “Ye Chen presents a heavy gift, a Saintly Way Incomplete Manual.”

As soon as these words came out, it instantly shocked everyone.

Everyone found it incredible; was he really so generous? This was an Incomplete Manual of the Saintly Way!

Although incomplete, it was still extremely valuable.

To show sincerity, the Elder said, “You few were impolite and almost wronged a distinguished guest.”

“Guards, take them down and deal with them according to family rules.”

Chen Ye was very satisfied, good.

Upon hearing “deal with them according to family rules,” those few servants felt a chill run down their spines.

They really didn’t do it on purpose; it was just that this Chen Ye was too ordinary, and they couldn’t tell the difference.

He himself concealed his cultivation and dressed ordinarily, who could tell?

These few people begged for mercy with tears in their eyes, hoping the Elder would be lenient.

But no one pitied them.

NanGong XiMeng walked over, accompanying Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan said to that Elder, “It’s not a big mistake, let the punishment go.”
