232 Arenst You Full of Yourself (1/2)

The sounds of dispute came from the square, from where Zhuo Yifan stood!

Many others on the square, besides Lin You and the old man, had also noticed the commotion. Wang Baole and Zhao Yameng noticed too. They had appeared to converse in laughter with others when they had actually been secretly watching Huang Shan of the Traps Pavilion alertly.

At present, when they realized Zhuo Yifan had encountered some problems, both of them looked over immediately. They saw Zhuo Yixian standing before Zhuo Yifan, his right hand raised and a finger pointing at Zhuo Yifan. There was a cold glint in his eyes, and he appeared to be saying something.

Emotions flickered past Zhuo Yifan's face rapidly. He seemed to be trying his best to hold himself back.

Wang Baole witnessed the entire scene. His pupils contracted, and without any hesitation, he stepped forward and marched towards Zhuo Yifan.

Zhao Yameng didn't hesitate either. She had few friends in the Ethereal Dao College. Amongst those friends, Wang Baole and Zhuo Yifan could be considered her true comrades.

It was as Wang Baole had said, the three of them had survived death together. It was a bond that made her follow Wang Baole and rush towards Zhuo Yifan without hesitation!

As the two approached, they heard Zhuo Yixian speaking coldly, his words taunting!

”The Federation is perfect except for one thing, and that's how anybody who puts on this uniform can be a somebody. Oh, right, Yifan, you haven't returned home for a while. I forgot to tell you something. Your mother's tombstone was damaged by one of my servants' dogs a while ago. Sorry.”

The words were like an invisible blade piercing Zhuo Yifan's heart, and his eyes reddened instantly. A low beast-like growl fell from his lips, and his features twisted on his darkened face.

All his considerations were cast aside. His attempts at self-control fell apart like a dam collapsing, and the floodgates had been swept open, the floodwaters rushing out. He tightened his fists, and his body trembled in his extreme rage. He was about to charge forward.

Zhuo Yixian's eyes flashed, and his lips twitched into a cold smile. That was what he had been waiting for—his younger brother striking out at him. But just as Zhuo Yixian's smile surfaced on his face and Zhuo Yifan rushed forward in a rage…

Suddenly, a round and chubby figure charged forward from a distance. It was so fast that its speed exceeded everyone's expectations. The cultivators on the square saw only a blur before their eyes. When clarity returned, they saw Wang Baole standing between Zhuo Yifan and Zhuo Yixian!

He arrived in an instant, placing himself in front of Zhuo Yifan and blocking Zhuo Yixian's sight. He was like a towering mountain, standing tall and exuding a startling and impressive aura which exploded from his person and shook everyone. Violence flashed openly in Wang Baole's eyes.

”You seem quite full of yourself!” Wang Baole stopped Zhuo Yifan from charging forward and glared at Zhuo Yixian.

”Yifan is my brother. If you have something against him, come at me instead. I haven't had enough fun beating you up the last time!” Wang Baole snorted. He turned his immense figure towards Zhuo Yixian, who had a changed expression on his face, and stared at the latter with scorn.

Zhuo Yixian's features twisted into an ugly look.

Wang Baole's arrival and his words calmed Zhuo Yifan down gradually from his initial trembling state. The blind rage he had felt sunk deep into his heart once again. He could feel himself growing more composed with Wang Baole's appearance.

Staring at the mountain-like figure before him, Zhuo Yifan couldn't help but think back to the events of Spirit Breath Village and the Coulomb Basin, and the similar scenes that had taken place then.

It was as if everything would turn out fine as long as Wang Baole was there.

As Wang Baole and Zhuo Yixian stood in confrontation, Zhao Yameng walked out, expressionless, and stopped next to Wang Baole. Despite her silence, it was clear where she stood and whom she stood with.

Her appearance increased the pressure Zhuo Yixian was already feeling.

Many in the crowd were unaware of Zhao Yameng's background, but he had heard a few things. That was why he hadn't crossed paths with Zhao Yameng in Spirit Breath Village.

His original intentions for provoking Zhuo Yifan had been to incite the latter into attacking him out of his own accord. It was partly because Zhuo Yifan's growth had given him extreme pressure and made him feel immensely threatened.
