Chapter 45 – Be (2/2)
On the other hand, the gazes of some young men burned with desire as well. Of course, it didn’t mean that they swung that way, and it was instead because they were already prepared to form a relations.h.i.+p with Jiang Yuan. They couldn’t be said to seek out those who were strong and influential because wherever there were people, there was compet.i.tion. These young men and young women had just entered the Sword Sect, so they definitely had to find someone to rely on first or form a small group.
To the youths from poor families, Jiang Yuan who possessed a formidable strength and was wealthy was a good person to rely on.
Yang Ye was slightly surprised when he saw Jiang Yuan casually produce a Profound Rank Dark Artifact. But he wasn’t tempted by it because he possessed a Profound Rank treasure as well, and it was even a mid-grade Profound Rank treasure. However, he just couldn’t utilize it.
After feeling shocked for a moment, the expression of the woman in a green dress returned to normal. She refused to show weakness and flipped her hand to reveal a bright red and fist sized fruit. She said, “A Profound Rank treasure, Vermillion Spirit Fruit. Its value isn’t inferior to your Crimson Red Sword!”
Jiang Yuan was slightly surprised when he saw the woman casually produce a Profound Rank treasure. He took a glance at the fruit before he said, “Alright!”
“I’ll join in as well!” Right at this moment, a seemingly urgent voice resounded. When everyone noticed the owner of this voice, they were shocked.
It was none other than Yang Ye who’d spoken. With Yang Ye’s disposition, he would naturally not partic.i.p.ate in such bets, but he had no other choice! When the women withdrew that Vermillion Spirit Fruit, the little fellow that was sleeping within the tiny vortex had suddenly awakened. After that, it strongly requested that Yang Ye obtained possession of that fruit, and if Yang Ye didn’t agree, then it would seize it.
The little fellow’s origins were mysterious, so how could he possibly allow the little fellow to show itself and seize the fruit? Moreover, it was the first time that the little fellow so urgently desired something. So, Yang Ye had no choice but to partic.i.p.ate in this bet.
When they noticed it was Yang Ye, not only were Jiang Yuan and the woman in a green dress slightly surprised, even Elder Cao Huo who stood at the side was slightly surprised. He naturally recognized Yang Ye. If it wasn’t because of Yang Ye, then that little she-devil might have continued causing trouble for a long time on that day. However, he didn’t understand why Yang Ye intended to partic.i.p.ate in this bet. After all, Yang Ye’s strength wasn’t just a little bit inferior to Jiang Yuan and the woman!
“You?” Jiang Yuan said with disdain, “We have Profound Rank treasures, what do you have?”
Yang Ye didn’t waste his breath and flipped his right palm, causing the Profound Rank sword to appear in his hand. He said, “I have a Profound Rank treasure as well. That’s enough, right?”
This time, it wasn’t just Jiang Yuan and the woman that were surprised, even the others in the vicinity were surprised. When had Profound Rank treasures become so ordinary? Three have actually appeared in an instant!
“I agree!” Meanwhile, the woman spoke abruptly. She didn’t mind siding with someone that didn’t like Jiang Yuan because it would cause Jiang Yuan to feel displeased.
When he heard the woman agree, Jiang Yuan grunted coldly and said, “Since you desire to give your treasure away, then we’ll let you join in as well!” As soon as he finished speaking, he didn’t spare another glance at Yang Ye.
Yang Ye didn’t have any good impression of this conceited and arrogant fellow before him, so he directly disregarded Jiang Yuan as well. After that, he nodded lightly to the woman as a form of greeting.
When she saw Yang Ye greet her, she hesitated for a moment before she nodded slightly in greeting as well.
At this moment, Cao Huo smiled as he said in a clear voice, “The Sword Sect doesn’t restrict its disciples from competing with each other because only with the pressure of compet.i.tion would all of you be able to grow quickly. However, all of you must remember that while compet.i.tion is allowed, all of you can’t stab your compet.i.tion in the back. Once you’re discovered to have stabbed a fellow disciple in the back, then the sect will cripple your cultivation and kick you out from the sect. Be sure to keep that in mind!”
Everyone hurriedly nodded upon hearing this, and even Jiang Yuan and the woman in a green dress nodded hurriedly as well. They didn’t dare object to it at all.
Cao Huo nodded with satisfaction when he saw everyone nod, and then he said with a smile, “Right, I have something to tell all of you. During an Outer Court Exam of the past, someone ascended to the 20th level of the paG.o.da. This result is the best result in my Sword Sect for the last 100 years. I hope someone amongst all of you’ll be able to break this record and make a name for yourself in the Sword Sect!”
