Best Young Master

"Oh my god!"

"Did I hear wrong?"

"This world is too crazy!"

"..."

After a brief silence, the entire place was in uproar again.

The words of that ordinary cultivator were like a bowl of cold water splashed into a pot of hot oil, instantly causing a big commotion.

Having an Immortal Elixir voluntarily follow, acquiring the Extreme Divine Fire and Emperor Weapon, what kind of heaven-defying luck is this!

People were discussing furiously.

Almost everyone’s eyes were shining with envy and jealousy.

Why?

Why does everything good belong to Ye Fan of the Xuan Realm?

They are unwilling!

But no matter how unwilling they are, it is useless, no one dares to say anything at this moment.

Because!

They know that Ye Fan will be back soon.

With the discussions ringing by their ears, the faces of the three Xiao Peng Emperor and the people from Jiang Sheng Star looked increasingly unpleasant.

They were very clear, this time they completely became the backdrop.

They were angry, jealous, unwilling, but helpless.

At this moment they could only be the green leaves, setting off the dazzling flower that is Ye Fan.

"It seems that Ye Fan of the Xuan Realm really isn’t a spy of the Demon Clan, we’ve all wronged him!"

People were reflecting, how unfair is this for a true hero?

Many firmly believed before that Ye Fan was a spy of the Demon Clan, even some Law Enforcers were chasing him.

This wronged true hero has received the most unjust treatment, no one believed him, everyone wanted to eliminate him quickly.

However, even so, he still cared about the Human Race, risking being discovered, he killed the real Demon Clan spy.

This is the true great hero, the pride of all humans!

Back then in the Tenth Ancient City, five strong people of the Five Venerable Saint Level besieged him, forcing him to fight with his life and almost die.

Actually, who didn’t know at that time that the acting City Lord of Human Race’s Tenth City was the brother of the First City, had a deep hatred towards Ye Fan.

He was publicly seeking private revenge, carrying out personal vendetta.

Fortunately, Ye Fan retaliated strongly, killed them, otherwise with Ye Fan dead, who could identify the real Demon Clan spy?

Once that happens, everyone on the Human Clan’s Ancient Star Path would be on edge, no longer trusting any unfamiliar person.

Moreover, who knows how many people would die at the hands of the Demon Clan spy.

It can be said, Ye Fan turned the tide and saved everyone.

"We are very willing to believe Ye Fan is not a Demon Clan spy, but he must provide evidence to convince everyone, otherwise just us believing is useless," a trialist said.

"Of course!" the returning trialist said proudly, "Ye Fan already anticipated this situation, once he comes out, he will definitely provide all evidence, to prove his innocence to the world."

"That’s good, we look forward to his evidence!"

Everyone is eagerly waiting, to see what evidence Ye Fan can provide to prove his innocence.

Embarrassing, too embarrassing!

The trio of Martial Immortal feels like needles on their backs, restless and uneasy.

They don’t want to stay a moment longer in this square, feeling like they are being viewed as monsters.

They used their strength to set off Ye Fan’s brilliance, making him unattainable.

However, just as they were about to leave, the City Lord appeared before them again.

"Ye Fan of the Xuan Realm is misunderstood, this time he wants to prove his innocence, it is of great importance, hope you can testify for him, to prove to more people he isn’t a Demon Clan spy," the City Lord said to them with a smile.

"Uh..."

"This..."

The three feel like they’ve eaten a dead rat, extremely upset.

They themselves are competitors to Ye Fan, yet at this moment they have to testify for him, you can’t imagine how uncomfortable their hearts are.

However, they dare not ignore the City Lord’s words, and can only reluctantly agree.

Not long after, a powerful wave arrives, once again attracting everyone’s attention.

On the Cai Hong Divine Bridge, Ye Fan stands proudly, with a Golden Divine Dragon and Peacock on his sides, like two protectors.

In front, the Bai Yan wolf leads the way, swaggering its tail almost erect to the sky.

Because of this the Golden Divine Dragon mocks it relentlessly, saying it was originally a wolf, now it looks more like a dog.

Of course, the consequence of these words is a few more rows of teeth marks on its body — bitten by the wolf.

Behind Ye Fan, the two Emperors’ sons Yue Haoyu and Yue Chuan shine with brilliance, like divine beings walking on earth.

Following behind were the Great Demon, Yu Chanzi, Wen TaDou, and Li Yu’er, among others.

A group of more than ten people, they majestically descended from the Cai Hong Divine Bridge.

For a moment, the entire venue was silent!

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on Ye Fan, their expressions filled with complexity and a myriad of emotions.

If it wasn’t in the city, many people would have succumbed to the urge to seize the Emperor Weapon embryo!

The Extreme Divine Fire and the Emperor Weapon embryo represent a deadly temptation to anyone.

However, they also knew that this idea could only exist in fantasy and must never be put into action; otherwise, it would be a path to self-destruction.

Even the three Young Supremes combined were not a match for him, let alone now when he had acquired both the Extreme Divine Fire and the Emperor Weapon embryo.

No one doubted that Ye Fan now certainly had the strength to confront a Supreme Holy Master in the late-stage Venerable Realm, and even against a strong person at the peak of the Venerable Realm, he might stand a fighting chance.

Trying to snatch the Emperor Weapon embryo from Ye Fan would be as futile as pulling a tooth from a Tiger; it would mean courting death!

"It’s good that you’re back, truly good to have you back!"

The City Lord and a group of senior strong people all stepped forward, expressing concern and warmth toward Ye Fan as if they were long-lost family.

"City Lord..."

Ye Fan felt a pang of emotion, having seen the fickleness of human interactions and the warmth and coldness of the world.

Previously, he dared not even reveal his true appearance, and everyone was eager to fight and kill him.

Yet, at this moment, he had become a hero, and even the City Lord and the senior strong people now looked at him with newfound respect.

"City Lord, esteemed seniors!"

Ye Fan cupped his hands, bowing to everyone, and said, "I would like to ask you and the esteemed seniors, as well as all the brothers and sisters present, to testify for me, proving my innocence."

Just as he was about to take out the Xuanyu recording his slaying of the Demon Clan spies, the City Lord stopped him.

"I am already aware of what happened on Fire Silk Star. To prove your innocence is a matter of great importance and will have a profound impact on the entire Ancient Star Path; it’s far from enough for just me to bear witness."

The City Lord continued, "The ten Saint Lord Level strong people from the Xuan Realm and the Goddess of the Divine Race have already contacted me; they will arrive here in no more than three days. I suggest you present the evidence before these mighty figures to prove your innocence, which will yield a better effect."

At this point, the City Lord sighed and said, "After all, the belief that you are a Demon Clan spy is already deeply ingrained. To change everyone’s perception in a short period, you must produce sufficiently shocking evidence and have more people present to witness it."

Ye Fan nodded; the City Lord was right. For a long time, many people had already regarded him as a Demon Clan spy. Without sensational evidence and more witnesses, it would be difficult to change people’s perceptions in a short time.

"If you have no objections, you could temporarily stay at my City Lord Mansion. I will ensure your safety," the City Lord warmly suggested.

Ye Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, sensing that the City Lord might have ulterior motives. However, he showed no sign of it and politely declined with a smile, "There’s no need to disturb the City Lord; I have my own residence, and I believe that no one would dare to assassinate me."

"Uh..." The City Lord was momentarily stunned, laughing awkwardly, "Don’t misunderstand me, I meant nothing by it. I only wanted to fulfill the duties of a City Lord. Since you are unwilling to move into the City Lord Mansion, so be it; we will dispatch people to protect your residence."

Since it was impossible to see Ye Fan present evidence today, everyone’s enthusiasm waned, and they left in small groups.

In no time, the entire square was left deserted.

With the last person descending from the Cai Hong Divine Bridge, it flickered and then gradually disappeared.

The sky returned to its former state, and even Huo Sang Ancient Star vanished from above the Ancient City.

"Brother Ye, I think this time you seem to be viewing a gentleman with a petty heart," Yue Haoyu remarked to Ye Fan upon returning to their lodging, "Maybe the City Lord genuinely wants to protect you!"

Ye Fan smiled slightly and said, "In extraordinary times, it’s better to be cautious; the Emperor Weapon tempts the heart, and who can guarantee he won’t become greedy?"

"I believe Ye Zi did the right thing." The Great Demon said, "The human heart is unpredictable. Who knows what he’s thinking? What if he harbors ill intentions?"

"So I spoke in vain!" Yue Haoyu was speechless.

He didn’t agree with the Great Demon’s insistence on believing in the inherent evil of human nature, but he knew that the Great Demon’s decision was often correct in many situations.

The human heart is hard to fathom!

Shortly after they returned to their small courtyard, a group of powerful soldiers surrounded the place, ensuring that not even a fly could get through.

Yue Haoyu and the others wished to stay with him, to react promptly should anything occur.

The small courtyard Ye Fan rented was quiet, but small.

Reluctantly, the City Lord ordered the surrounding courtyards to be vacated for them, which was more than sufficient.

After a hot bath, Ye Fan and his companions left the small courtyard in a grand procession and arrived at a restaurant suspended in mid-air.

At this moment, Ye Fan was definitely a celebrity, and under the City Lord’s orders, the restaurant didn’t charge them any Spirit Stones and was to entertain them with the best ingredients.

Led by the restaurant owner, Ye Fan and his companions took their seats in the most luxurious giant hall, where the cultivators originally there had all been cleared out.

Ye Fan shared a table with the Bai Yan wolf, Yue Haoyu, and others, while the other trialists from the Xuan Realm took another table.

Soon, the food and drink were served, all excellently crafted, with tantalizing aromas wafting through the air; the wine was a fine, thousand-year vintage.

"The first toast, to congratulate Brother Ye on overawing the heroes and seizing the opportunity!" The Great Demon raised a jar of wine and exclaimed loudly.

Everyone raised their jars and drank them down in one go.

"The second toast, to Brother Ye washing away his grievances and proving his innocence!" The Great Demon proposed again, secretly sighing that if he were in Ye Fan’s place, he absolutely wouldn’t have endured until today.

"Thank you!"

Ye Fan raised the wine jar and drank it all in one go.

This day, he had waited for far too long!
