Watching Qin Yuruâs worried expression, Ye Luo revealed a faint smile and said, "Donât worry, I came today to take you and my son with me."
My son?
Hearing these two words from Ye Luoâs mouth, everyone in the banquet hall was shocked, their eyes showing expressions of astonishment and confusion.
Both Ji Mo and Ji Lingtianâs faces changed drastically at the same time.
"Youâre looking for death, kid!"
Ji Lingtianâs refined face twisted ferociously as a terrifying surge of energy emanated from his body, immediately sending Qin Yuru flying.
Ye Luoâs face changed, and he dashed towards Qin Yuru like lightning, catching her. At that moment, Ji Lingtian let out a cold shout and struck down at Ye Luo with a palm in mid-air.
The crowd was startled by this, but then Feng Tian moved, instantly blocking in front of Ji Lingtian. With a single hand wave, he sent Ji Lingtian stumbling back repeatedly.
The Pavilion Master of Yuheng Pavilion, Xu Ruobai, saw this and frowned slightly.
"Pavilion Master, should we..." one of the four men standing behind Xu Ruobai couldnât help but speak up, to which the latter shook his head.
"Yu Ru, are you alright?" Ye Luo asked Qin Yuru worriedly, quickly checking her over.
Fortunately, both Yu Ru and the child were unharmed, only their Blood Qi was a bit agitated, but Ye Luo soon used his True Qi to stabilize it for her.
"Ye Luo..." Qin Yuru looked at Ye Luo, moved by his disregard for his own safety as he rushed to save her, her eyes filled with deep emotion and a complex sentiment.
"May I ask who this esteemed one might be?" Ji Mo stepped onto the stage, his gaze fixed on Feng Tian as he spoke in a deep voice. Although Ji Mo was not a martial artist, he still carried a powerful aura.
"Who I am is not something you need to know," Feng Tian said, his face covered, exuding the air of a mysterious expert, causing some uncertainty among the onlookers.
"If thatâs the case, this is a matter of the Ji Family, so I would ask this senior to refrain from interfering," Ji Mo said, his eyes still locked onto Feng Tian.
"What âyour Ji Familyâs matterâ? That sounds nice, but Qin Yuru is my woman, and sheâs carrying my son, Ye Luoâs son, in her belly. This is my, Ye Luoâs, business!"
Ye Luo pulled Qin Yuru behind him and roared thunderously, and his words immediately stunned everyone present. They all stared with open mouths, unable to react.
Qin Yuru was pregnant?
And the child wasnât Ji Lingtianâs?
Holy shit, this is huge!
This is looking for trouble!
All the guests present were silently shocked, and the eyes of people from the major families of Capital City focused on Ye Luo, Qin Yuru, and Ji Lingtian.
But most eyes were on Ji Lingtian, with a very peculiar expression, and many were tinged with a pitying sigh.
The young master of Century Group, the rising top figure of Capital City, had just been cuckolded by his fiancée. To make matters worse, there was already a child involved, which was a colossal loss of face.
It was in such a grand gathering, when all Upper Society members of Huaxia had assembled, that Ye Luo was publicly humiliated by his fiancĂ©eâs lover.
For a man, especially for someone like Ji Lingtian, a scion of a powerful family, this was an indescribable humiliation, and it was a huge scandal for both the Ji Family and Century Group.
"Damn, this Brother Ye is actually this formidable, heâs put a green hat on Ji Lingtian!" Leng Pengzhan secretly marveled from below, then thought of something and his eyes involuntarily glanced at Leng Ruobing beside him. The latterâs face remained very calm, showing no hint of change.
Those familiar with Ye Luo were all inwardly shaken, including Situ Liuyun and his son Situ Yunchao, Mu Qingsong and his son, and Gongsun Lie. Their eyes were all focused intently on Ye Luo, each with a different expression.
"Crown Prince, he is that Ye Luo!"
Watching from below, Cao Wuhengâs eyes lightly rested on Ye Luo, as one of the twin girls standing behind him spoke up.
"Indeed, quite interesting!" A strange smile appeared on Cao Wuhengâs lips, and his eyes seemed to twinkle with starlight, as profound as the cosmos.
As for Ji Lingtian, his face had completely darkened at this point, emitting a cold and dreadful aura as his Saint Realm fourth level might burst forth, making the air in the entire banquet hall seem to freeze.
All present felt an overwhelming pressure, their breathing growing rapid.
"Ye Luo, I want you dead!" Ji Lingtianâs voice was cold and filled with boundless killing intent as he roared.
"Many have wanted me dead, youâre not the first, nor will you be the last!"
Ye Luo retorted coldly as he activated the Nine Yang Mystic Art, with the Lingyun Sword appearing in his hand, and all the power in his six meridians surging.
"Father, help me hold him off!" Ji Lingtian said with an icy look. Ji Mo nodded and waved his hand.
Several immense auras emerged from the shadows, and four elderly men in their fifties or sixties appeared wearing long robes. Their faces were emaciated and wrinkled, but their energies were not to be underestimated.
Saint Realm sixth level!
All four were experts of the Saint Realm sixth level!
Such strength alarmed the representatives of the several major families and the three ancient martial arts families below; they hadnât expected the Ji Family to possess such terrifying hidden power, with even such strong masters in their ranks.
This power surpassed some of the major families in the secular world and even reached the level of some small forces within the Hidden Sect, but considering that Ji Lingtian was backed by an influential Hidden Sect force like Seven Stars Pavilion, this wasnât surprising.
As soon as these four Saint Realm sixth level elders appeared, they surrounded Feng Tian, their powerful presence locking onto him, clearly intending to prevent Feng Tian from making a move.
"Kid, this time Iâd like to see who can help you!" Ji Lingtianâs face twisted savagely as he stared at Ye Luo, completely devoid now of his previously refined demeanor, instead resembling a ravenous wolf ready to tear Ye Luo to pieces.
After all, Ye Luoâs words had caused Ji Lingtian to lose face completely; it was as if he had been made to wear a green hat, even though Qin Yuru hadnât yet put on the engagement ring and wasnât officially his fiancĂ©e, but others would not think so.
In their eyes, the fiancĂ©e of the distinguished Ji Familyâs young master was involved with another man and even had his child, that was like a glaring green hat placed on his head, tarnishing not only himself but also the entire Ji Family and Century Group.
In this situation, Ji Lingtian felt an urge to flay Ye Luoâs skin, consume his bones, and drink his blood, and he couldnât wait to exterminate this man who had brought him such shame.
"I donât need anyone elseâs help. Today, let me see what skills you, the esteemed young master of the Ji Family, possess. Thinking you can make my woman your fiancĂ©e is utterly ridiculous." Ye Luo snorted disdainfully.
