121: Chapter 121: Wu’an Office Becomes a Laughingstock 121: Chapter 121: Wu’an Office Becomes a Laughingstock Mountain and Water Pavilion! This was a five-star hotel, and in the entire Xia Country, it was regarded as an extremely high-end place. In a place like the Capital City, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, the sheer ability to establish a hotel of Mountain and Water Pavilion’s scale indicated that the forces behind it were anything but simple. Indeed, the Mountain and Water Pavilion’s behind-the-scenes owner was the Wu’an Office, and it was one of the high-end hotels under their banner. Mountain and Sea Hall. Resplendent and luxurious, the bright red carpet lay beneath, while the polite waitstaff served amidst tables laden with expensive ingredients. In the center of the Mountain and Water Hall, Ye Xuan sat in the place of honor, flanked by Tian Yu and Huang Fatty on his left and right, respectively, while the various group leaders and Guest Elders of the Wu’an Office sat below them. This was a business banquet hosted by the Wu’an Office, but apart from Ye Xuan and his associates, the so-called business elites were nowhere to be seen, let alone those transnational businessmen. At this moment, Ye Xuan’s mood was very foul—truly terrible, and when Ye Xuan was in a bad mood, someone was bound to be unlucky. Tian Yu was extremely embarrassed, his face flushing red, and the other group leaders and Guest Elders felt the same. They had not expected that, despite the Wu’an Office’s invitations, not even the local business luminaries had come to attend the banquet, let alone the foreign businessmen. Contempt, disregard, humiliation—six simple words that explained the current situation of the Wu’an Office. “I need you all to give me a reasonable explanation.” In the oppressive atmosphere, Ye Xuan spoke calmly, yet his words sent a chill to the very core of Tian Yu and the others, leaving them at a loss as to how to reply. “Mr. Ye, the Martial Arts Heavenly Mansion is also hosting a charity banquet tonight, so perhaps these businessmen...!” Huang Fatty began, then hesitated, but his words only made the atmosphere in the Mountain and Sea Hall grow even heavier. “Heh!” A cold sneer curled from the corner of Ye Xuan’s mouth. He looked around at Tian Yu and the others, his voice eerily saying, “The Wu’an Office has stood tall in Xia Country for a hundred years, and now it’s been outdone by the Martial Arts Heavenly Mansion. Don’t you feel ashamed?” “Ye... Mr. Ye, you might not be aware...” Tian Yu’s face was flushed red as he hurriedly tried to explain, “The Martial Arts Heavenly Mansion was founded by the Heavenly Blade God Jue Tian, and a hundred years ago, Jue Tian was the fifth-ranked master in the world. It is said that he has broken through the Innate and entered the Land Immortal Realm, and countless scions from Ancient Martial Families have joined the Martial Arts Heavenly Mansion...” Before Tian Yu could finish, Ye Xuan’s expression darkened, and with a wave of his hand, he cut off Tian Yu’s words. The look he gave Tian Yu and the others grew increasingly sinister. “This is the reason you give me?” Ye Xuan’s voice was ice-cold. Instantly, the temperature seemed to drop eerily in the air, as if a cold wind swept behind Tian Yu and the others, leaving them with a sensation akin to falling into an ice cellar. “Do you realize that today’s event is not only a loss of face for you but a loss of my face, Ye Xuan?” Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his voice was calm, yet it made Tian Yu and the others shiver incessantly, their complexions turning deathly pale, clearly unsettled by Ye Xuan’s words. Suddenly, Ye Xuan rose from his seat. A three-foot Blood Sword appeared eerily in his hand, and as Ye Xuan slashed out with the sword, the air was filled with the terrified screams of many waitstaff. Bang! Sword light crossed the sky, and the evening banquet shattered under Ye Xuan’s blade. The so-called business banquet turned to ruins, causing Tian Yu and others to tense up, not daring to utter a word of persuasion. “Huang Fatty!” “Subordinate is here.” “I give you three minutes to find out where the Martial Arts Heavenly Mansion is hosting the banquet.” As Ye Xuan’s voice fell, Huang Fatty’s face turned pale with shock, but he quickly took the order and left. On the other hand, Tian Yu and the rest were all dumbfounded, their expressions quickly turning to terror. “Ye... Mr. Ye... What... What are you going to do?” Tian Yu’s voice quivered as he spoke, a profound unease rising in his heart. “What am I going to do?” Ye Xuan’s mouth curved into a cold smirk, then he eerily surveyed Tian Yu and the others, saying, “You all can be shameless, but do you expect me, Ye Xuan, to join you in losing face here?” “Since these businessmen have all gone to attend the Martial Arts Heavenly Mansion’s banquet, what do you think I am going to do?” Looking at Ye Xuan’s ominous face, Tian Yu and the others couldn’t help but swallow their saliva, their faces filled with terror. What’s more, a Guest Elder quickly stood up, his voice trembling as he advised Ye Xuan, “Mr. Ye, this cannot be. The Martial Arts Heavenly Mansion is at its zenith, and it was founded by the Jue Tian Blade God. If you were to cause trouble there, I fear that a huge rift between the Wu’an Office and the Martial Arts Heavenly Mansion will ensue.” “That’s right, even though Jue Tian Blade God is not in the Capital City, the Martial Arts Heavenly Mansion is full of descendants from various Ancient Martial Families. If our Wu’an Office confronts the Martial Arts Heavenly Mansion, conflict is bound to erupt.” “Just as the saying goes, ‘A single hair can affect the whole body.’ I implore Mr. Ye to forbear for the time being and not to engage in conflict with the Martial Arts Heavenly Mansion.” As if a chain reaction had occurred, everyone began to cautiously advise Ye Xuan, their faces turning pale, clearly dreading the superpower that was the Martial Arts Heavenly Mansion. “You are truly a bunch of wastes,” Ye Xuan said with disappointment, shaking his head without leaving anyone any dignity, causing everyone shame and avoiding eye contact with him. “Sir, I have found out. The Martial Arts Heavenly Mansion is hosting the banquet at Hanhai Building. All the prominent figures from the business world are there,” Huang Fatty, highly efficient, reported back to Ye Xuan immediately upon returning to his side. “You’ve done well.” Ye Xuan nodded slowly, then gave Tian Yu and the rest a deep look. Amidst their panic-stricken gazes, Ye Xuan walked leisurely toward the outside, with Huang Fatty hurrying to follow. “What should we do?” the leader of the Xuan Group uttered shakily. “Mr. Ye is right. Our mighty Wu’an Office, are we really to fear a Martial Arts Heavenly Mansion?” Xue Ji’s expression was scornful as she quickly followed after Ye Xuan. “That damned Azure Dragon, from where did he invite this great deity? Does he wish for our Wu’an Office to be more chaotic?” a Guest Elder cursed softly to himself. “Well, Azure Dragon isn’t here, what’s the use of saying these things now?” Tian Yu scolded. “Lord Tian Yu, what should we do now?” someone cautiously probed. Watching Ye Xuan disappearing into the distance, Tian Yu looked hesitant, as if weighing something. After dozens of breaths, he clenched his teeth as if making a decision and said, “Although this Mr. Ye is overbearing and frequently intimidates us, after all, he is also a Guest Elder of the Wu’an Office. If we do nothing, we will truly become the laughingstock of outsiders.” “Let’s go. We will accompany Mr. Ye this time. After all, if anything happens, he will carry the weight.” After Tian Yu finished speaking, he led everyone to catch up with Ye Xuan. A gathering hosted by the Wu’an Office became a joke, but what no one realized was that this joke was not funny at all, for Ye Xuan would make everyone understand, making a joke of him, Ye Xuan, had serious consequences. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night; what was to happen, no one knew.
