oughts, he hoped to suppress the flame in front of him with the might of the artifact.It turned out he was wrong. The strike not only failed to suppress the purple flames, but also caused them to erup...Yuan Mùtōng's expression darkened. He had originally thought that the other party would definitely give him face if he personally went out.

He said with a cold face: "Isn't it just a martial arts competition for marriage Just cancel it directly, what's so difficult"

"Master, please calm down first."

Liu Yi's face was filled with a smile, and his tone was very respectful.

It doesn't matter much that the martial arts tournament for selecting a bride was canceled. The important thing is that the time has come, and I have already sent out invitations and messages beforehand.

You see that the core disciples of Huajiian, Jijianmen, and Shenfenggu have all come here. These people are all here to participate in the martial arts competition for marriage.

At this point, the loss of reputation for my Hanjian Immortal Sect is nothing to worry about. What I'm afraid of is that people will spread rumors that Xuan Tian Men used their power to bully others and forced the cancellation of this martial arts competition for marriage.

After all, the reputation of the Holy Gate is greater than everything else. If this were to happen, I would be unable to justify myself.

"This..."

Yuan Mu Tong's expression froze. The woman's words had directly hit his sore spot. Although Xuan Tian Men held a high position, what they cared about most was their reputation.

If he really managed to gain a reputation for being arrogant and bullying this time, he'd probably have trouble explaining himself when he goes back.

Ye Bufan frowned slightly, he had to say this woman was indeed skilled. She had used words to corner Yu Mu Tong right from the start.

Liu Baiyi continued, "In fact, this matter is also simple. I see that Doctor Ye has a noble bearing and is a rare martial arts genius."

If he were to participate in the martial arts competition, surely no one would be his match. Then, he could take Cold Qingqiu away openly and without anyone criticizing him.

Ye Bufan had seen through it. This woman was definitely a cunning old fox, her purpose was to lure him into participating in the martial arts competition for marriage.

Regardless of whether I have a chance of winning, this martial arts competition for marriage cannot proceed. This is a matter of principle.

Leng Qingqiu is her own woman, there is no doubt about that. Now being put on stage for a martial arts competition to find a husband What kind of thing is this

Yuan Mu Tong was trapped by the reputation of his sect, and for a moment, he didn't know what to do. He turned his head to look over, obviously wanting to seek his opinion.

Ye Bufan looked straight at Liu Baiyi: "Liu Sect Master, I wonder if you have any children"

This wasn't a pointless question. With his medical skills, it was clear that the woman in front of him had definitely given birth before.

Liuyu Baiyi was quite pleased with his own wrist, and upon hearing his question, he responded rather subconsciously: "I have a daughter."

Everyone else also looked over, unsure of what the young man meant. Could he be trying to make a move on the headmaster's daughter

Ye Bufan chuckled playfully: "I wonder when Sect Master Liu will hold a martial arts competition to find a father for her daughter. I'd be very interested in participating!"

His words caused a stir among those present.

"What does this guy mean What's 'martial challenge to the father' "

"What does it mean to be very interested in participating Does he have his eye on the headmaster"

"You don't know a thing, this guy is just humiliating the master…"

The people around were buzzing with conversation, all shocked by his words.

Liu Baiyi's face changed, and the previous smile vanished instantly.

"My daughter has a father. What do you mean by martial arts to find a father Are you humiliating me"

"Why, isn't Liu Sect Leader happy"

Ye Bufan's face also darkened, "You know this is humiliating, don't you Your daughter has a father, so she can't call anyone 'father' anymore. But my woman already has a man, what qualifications do you have to challenge her for marriage"

"I..."

Liu Yi's white clothes were obviously unprepared for the young man's sharp words. For a moment, he was speechless and his face turned pale.

But the old fox was still the old fox; soon she regained her usual composure.

"Master Ye is jesting. As Leng Qingqiu's master, it is only natural for me to arrange a marriage for her."

Besides, it was I, the sword immortal of the Hanjian sect, who came to her rescue before. Otherwise, she would probably be dead by now.

This matter is also our fault for being kept in the dark. If we had known earlier, we definitely wouldn't have arranged this martial arts competition to choose a bride.

"Speaking of which, she sighed, "There's no other way. This involves the reputation of the Sacred Gate and my Cold Sword Immortal Sect, so please bear with me, young master."

Ye Bufan frowned again. This woman was indeed difficult to deal with. In just a few words, she had completely reversed the situation.

First, he acted as if he was Leng Qingqiu's master, and arranging a marriage for his disciple was nothing out of the ordinary.

Then he pointed out the kindness of the Hansjian Xianzong, and finally linked the reputation of Hansjian Xianzong and the Shengmen together, putting a big hat on himself, leaving him speechless.

Yu Mu Tong was genuinely impressed by Ye Bufan from the bottom of his heart, but after opening his mouth, he still couldn't think of what to say.

There was complete silence on the scene. The atmosphere became heavy with unspoken words.

Hua Fei's lips curled into a sneer. He could see that Yuan Mu was trapped by Liu Baiyi's words.

As long as the Holy Gate doesn't get involved, Ye Bufan will be much easier to handle alone.

As a powerful figure in the Mahayana period, he had his own confidence. As long as he stepped onto the martial arts platform, he was sure to defeat the young man in front of him.

By then, taking Cold Qingqiu away would also be considered avenging Hua Ruhaip's poster and washing away the shame of the past.

Just as he was daydreaming about a bright future, his communication jade in his pocket suddenly vibrated, and a stream of information appeared in his mind.

Return to the Huajian faction at once, whoever dares to vie with Ye Bufan for marriage shall die!

After receiving this message, Hua Feihong shuddered with fright. This was sent by the sect leader Hua Silai, and he didn't believe she was joking with him.

Huasixiè had just returned to the sect. The woman's sword strike previously had thoroughly intimidated him.

Able to cleave the Imperial Palace of the Holy Dragon Empire in half with a single sword, he could also obliterate his own Huajian Sect with equal ease. It would be child's play.

That's precisely why he dared not hesitate for a moment regarding the woman's order. He prepared to gather the sect members, explain the situation, and then pass on the position of sect master.

Later, it was discovered that Hua Ruhui and Hua Feihong were missing from the door. Upon inquiry, they had actually gone to the Cold Sword Immortal Sect to compete for marriage, and the object of their affection was Ye Bufan's woman. This really scared him quite a bit.

At that time, the woman's fury was directed at Ye Bufan. She single-handedly destroyed Bai Li Xingkong and several dozen Mahayana stage powerhouses from the Saint Dragon Empire royal family.

Under these circumstances, even a fool could see the relationship between the two. If someone from their own sect went to grab the woman at this time, they would likely face imminent disaster.

Therefore, Hua SiRan was truly frightened by this news and hurriedly sent the information over. Moreover, she used extremely harsh language, fearing that any accidents might occur.

The same scene was also playing out at Ji Jianmen and Shen Fenggu, with Nangong He and Feng Wuyin both receiving the death order passed down from their sect leaders.

Tell them to withdraw from this martial arts competition immediately and not provoke Ye Bufan in any way. Otherwise, they will be executed according to the sect rules.

These three people didn't know what had happened within the sect, but they dared not disobey the master's orders.

Just as the atmosphere in the room became tense, Hua Fei Hong was the first to step forward.

"That... Master Liu, I'm sorry, I have to withdraw from this martial arts competition for marriage…"

Liu Baiyi frowned. He had finally achieved his current situation after much effort, how could he suddenly have to withdraw

She asked, dissatisfied: "Why"

"Because I am too old, I am not worthy of the cold sword fairy."

Liu Baiyi shook his head: "Age isn't an issue in the cultivation world, and you're not even a hundred years old yet. That's nothing."

""

Hua Fei Hong glanced at Ye Bu Fan, thinking of the sect's warning and finally gritted his teeth and said, "To be honest, I don't like women, I like men."

So I won't be participating in this martial arts competition for marriage. Farewell!

After saying that, he turned and ran, disappearing from the hall entrance amidst everyone's astonished gazes.of this vast Da Xing Empire, the other party wouldn't dare to act rashly. Even if they did, Nalan Yu Jia was a powerhouse at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, holding her own against them without an...
