C20 Powerful Stance

Strong stance.

Ye Feng looked back at them disdainfully. Ever since the Nangong family decided to betray him, they had become strangers.

"Ye Feng, are you alright?"

Mu Tianqi asked with concern as he came to Ye Feng's side.

"I'm fine,"

Ye Feng smiled at him. He had a good impression of his uncle.

"It's good that you are fine."

Mu Tianqi nodded at Ye Feng. Then he turned around towards the Chen family and said, "I'm warning all of you. You better not play any tricks on my nephew. Otherwise, I, Mu Tianqi, will not be polite to you."

Mu Tianqi's words were conclusive. His prestige in the military was not something the Chen family could compare with. If the Chen family posed any threat towards Ye Feng, Mu Tianqi would definitely not just kill a mere Elder from the Chen family.

The people from the Chen family looked away uncomfortably, and their faces turned ashen. They could feel the cold murderous aura released by the countless cavalries below. They could only clench their teeth.

Chen Aotian glowered at Ye Feng with killing intent. The insignificant figure that he didn't even bother was stirring up a storm in the exam. Not only did his talent and combat strength crush his fiancee, but he had also humiliated the Chen family.

The Chen family had lost all of their faces today, regardless of being one of the four big families in the Imperial City,

"General Mu's words are too serious. For the sake of the general's honor, we will not kill him. However, in the Tianxuan Mansion, the competition between the younger generation was unavoidable. I believe that General Mu won't interfere in this matter,"

A white-haired Elder from the Chen family's camp stood up and said. His words were neither servile nor overbearing. Perhaps it was because they didn't want to be threatened by Mu Tianqi.

Everyone immediately understood the meaning behind his words. The Chen family had a profound background, and there were many talented descendants in the family to which many were cultivating in the Tianxuan Mansion. What would happen if the Chen family ordered these younger generations to subsequently collide with Ye Feng?

A sharp light flashed in Mu Tianqi's eyes as he naturally understood what was going on. "It's no problem for the younger generation to fight fairly."

After all, how could a martial artist become a strong person without training?

The corner of the Chen family's white-haired Elder's mouth curled up into a smile. He nodded his head in satisfaction and returned to his seat with a faint flash of cold light in his pupils.

"I brought my army here for the sake of my nephew. It is really offensive, but I hope that all of you don't mind if I take him away first. As for which hall he will choose to join, it is up to him to decide,"

Mu Tianqi cupped his hands and said towards the elders of the Tianxuan Mansion.

"Of course,"

Yue Gu and the other elders said as they also cupped their hands towards Mu Tianqi.

"This is a passage token from the Martial Mansion. With this token, you can enter and exit the Martial Mansion as you wish."

Yue Gu gestured his hand, and a token supported by a faint lustrous elemental energy floated towards Ye Feng.

Ye Feng's eyes focused on the token and then took it in his hands.

"Thank you, Elder!"

Ye Feng smiled at Yue Gu.

The scene caused the other Elder's expression to freeze.

When the Chen family attacked Ye Feng, Yue Gu was the only one who helped him. It seemed like Tianxuan Hall had decided to take the young genius in.

The Elders from the Tianxiao Hall and Tianyun Hall's eyes turned red. Everyone had clearly seen that Ye Feng's brilliant performance was superb than Nangong Lingshuang and Zhou Mubai combined. Who wouldn't want him?

The other elders of the Tian Ji Hall looked at Chen Xiangtian with resentment in their eyes. If Chen Xiangtian had not targeted Ye Feng, they could've had the chance to take him in.

"Ye Feng, let's go,"

Mu Tianqi called.

"Alright,"

Ye Feng answered with a nod. He wanted to inquire about his parents from his uncle.

A gust of air rolled over and lifted Ye Feng up. Then he found himself sitting on a horse.

"March!"

Mu Tianqi commanded. The horses galloped away, and the cavalries gradually disappeared into the distance.

"They're gone!"

The crowds watched the Agile Cavalry Camp left solemnly.

'He's gone. I wonder what kind of person he is,'

Song Xinling thought to herself. She watched Ye Feng's back as he left on the horse with curiosity and an indescribable feeling in her heart.

At the same time, Zhou Mubai was also staring at Ye Feng's back as he left with a flicker in his eyes. He promised himself that he would definitely wash away today's humiliation.

This year's Tianxuan Mansion recruitment test was different from the previous ones. Too many unexpected and shocking things had happened.

Ye Feng, who the Nangong family once ridiculed as trash, had proved to everyone that he was the most gifted person in the test.

At the same time, he greatly humiliated the Chen family and Nangong family by breaking his engagement with Nangong Lingshuang.

Because of the humiliation they received, the Chen family's desire to kill Ye Feng became even stronger. Additionally, there was an Elder who almost killed Ye Feng in front of everyone.

If it weren't for the Divine General Mu Tianqi, who led his cavalry in the martial arts field and shot the Elder of Chen family with an arrow, the Chen family was sure Ye Feng would die. He even warned them not to touch his nephew, or else Mu Tianqi would kill them. How overbearing was this?

"Today's events have surprised me. Aotian, I think it's best to delay your marriage with Nangong Lingshuang for now."

The white-haired Elder from the Chen family spoke in a cold, indifferent tone as he watched Mu Tianqi's army sped off with a gloomy face.

He felt as if Ye Feng and his uncle had slapped his face.

"Hmm."

Chen Aotian nodded as if he agreed with the Elder. Truthfully, he felt embarrassed when Ye Feng rejected Nangong Lingshuang in front of everyone.

How could he marry someone abandoned by others in front of a large crowd? If he were to marry Nangong Lingshuang right away, people would definitely ridicule him.

Unfortunately, Nangong Chen and Nangong Lingshuang heard their conversation, and their expressions turned ugly.

"Elder Bai—"

"Stop talking!" Nangong Chen wanted to chime in, but the white-haired Elder stopped him before he could say another word. "Since the matter's already decided, we can't change it anymore. You, Nangong Chen, better make your position clear."

The white-haired Elder's words were firm and cold. Then he stood up and left without waiting for a response. The other people from the Chen family looked at each other before they all stood up and followed him.

The Chen family had lost enough face today. It would be meaningless for them to stay any longer.

As Chen Aotian stood up, he had minimal eye contact with Nangong Lingshuang before following the rest of the people from the Chen family. He was no longer as enthusiastic towards Nangong Lingshuang as before.

Nangong Lingshuang bit the bottom of her lips. At that moment, she felt her mood had fallen to the bottom of a pit. Today should be the glorious moment for her to bloom with glory. She did not expect that reality would bite her untimely.

Even Chen Aotian, who was once determined to marry her, agreed to delay their marriage. His decision was undoubtedly a blow to Nangong Lingshuang.

Meanwhile, as Ye Feng followed Mu Tianqi's Agile Cavalry into the streets and alleys, countless gazes of admiration from the people followed them.

About an hour later, they finally arrived at the Agile Cavalry's majestic military camp located within the Imperial City.

Mu Tianqi and Ye Feng sat down inside a tent where a maid served them fragrant tea.

"I want to thank you, third uncle, for saving me back there. If you haven't arrived at the right time, I would've been dead,"

Ye Feng said with a smile as he took a sip of the fragrant tea.

Mu Tianqi was his third uncle in the Mu Family. Aside from him, Ye Feng had two other uncles and an aunt.

However, they didn't treat Ye Feng as well as Mu Tianqi did. Rather, they weren't fond of him because of the conflict between his mother and the family.

It was also one of the reasons why Ye Feng ended up staying with the Nangong family after the Ye Family's ruin.

"What are you talking about? You are my nephew. I haven't taken good care of you for so many years. I owe you one."

Mu Tianqi waved his hand warmly at his nephew and smiled to himself. Not only was he talented, but he also had the demeanor of his brother-in-law. He couldn't help but like him more and more.

It was something his other nephew couldn't compare with.

"I am happy for you now that you have grown to your current level. However, you must have suffered a lot in the past ten years in the Nangong family."

Mu Tianqi took a sip of tea and continued, "Did you come to the Imperial City from thousands of miles away to join the Tianxuan Mansion?"

"Yes,"

Ye Feng replied, "It's a good opportunity to train in the Tianxuan Mansion."

There were also other reasons as to why he came to the imperial city. He was following his parents' footsteps and the answer to the letters hidden in the Dragon Guts Silver Spear.

"Alright."

Mu Tianqi nodded. Looking at the aura around Ye Feng, Mu Tianqi could tell that his nephew was not simple. He was a man with great ambition.

His nephew was only fifteen years old, yet he had the kind of calm aura that Mu Tianqi had never seen before.

"There are many outstanding talents in the Tianxuan Mansion, and the rules are relatively cruel. You have to be careful at all times, especially with the people of the Chen family. I don't believe that they will easily give up on their revenge on you,"

Mu Tianqi reminded Ye Feng. There was a flicker of cold light in his eyes when he mentioned the Chen family.

Although he stayed quiet, his relationship with the Chen family was already not good. But today, Mu Tianqi didn't hesitate to fall out with them for the sake of his nephew.

Additionally, he had killed an Elder from the Chen family. Thus, enmity formed between them.

"Got it. I will be careful."

Ye Feng nodded sincerely at Mu Tianqi. Since the Chen family wanted to kill him, why would Ye Feng let the Chen family have an easy time?

"Since you have participated in the Tianxuan Mansion's test, you have exposed yourself to all the major powers in Imperial City. Because of your father, your identity is still rather sensitive. If I'm not wrong, a lot of people have been paying attention to you recently, especially on Saint Ruler's side. He's a potential threat. He won't let a descendant from the Ye Family live peacefully in Imperial City,"

Mu Tianqi continued to speak. His eyes shone with a sharp light, concerned about Ye Feng's future.

Furthermore, he couldn't stay in the Imperial city for too long and had to return to the Heavenly Stellar Pass. In other words, if Ye Feng had any problems in the future, he might not be able to help him.

"Saint Ruler?"

Ye Feng frowned. Saint Ruler was a man with great power and influence in the Zhao State, a man who was above tens of thousands of people. Could he be related to the destruction of the Ye Family?
