Chapter 158: Master
However, Changtian’s pressure vanished without a trace when it was less than half a meter away from Wang Yufan.
Changtian felt his pressure disappear as if a clay ox had entered the sea.
This made Changtian’s heart pound. He was a strong expert in the God King Realm, and he never expected that someone could block his pressure. This was something he never dared to imagine.
Even thinking this, he still feigned composure and said,
"You are very good; you can even block my pressure. I can now basically confirm that you are either that taboo or someone with Emperor level talent."
Wang Yufan smiled and said,
"None of that matters. Let’s get to the point."
After Wang Yufan finished speaking, he directly spread his palm and took out a fish-shaped jade pendant.
When Changtian saw the fish-shaped jade pendant that Wang Yufan took out, he was greatly surprised and said,
"How do you have my Imperial Court’s token?" Changtian said, as he touched his neck with one hand.
Then, another fish-shaped jade pendant appeared in everyone’s sight.
"How can this be? Who exactly are you? Why do you have my Imperial Court’s token? This fish-shaped jade pendant of mine has been passed down from my ancestors. Where did yours come from? Quickly, tell me the truth!" Changtian said loudly.
Looking at Changtian’s excited expression and questioning eyes,
Wang Yufan directly tossed the jade pendant in his hand into the sky, and that fish-shaped jade pendant immediately floated in the air.
The other fish-shaped jade pendant hanging on Changtian’s neck trembled slightly, as if an invisible force was directly heading towards the fish-shaped jade pendant that Wang Yufan had.
To understand this strange phenomenon, Changtian unfastened the jade pendant from his neck.
As expected, the two fish-shaped jade pendants directly attracted each other, and a yin and yang fish pattern appeared.
"This..." Changtian’s heart was somewhat shaken.
From the moment he obtained this jade pendant, his father had told him that there were two such fish-shaped jade pendants, and the other one was in the hands of a great person. He was told that if he ever met someone who possessed the other fish-shaped jade pendant, he must be respectful.
Because that person was someone his Jidao Imperial Court could not afford to offend.
Changtian swallowed slightly, staring intently at Wang Yufan and said,
"Tell me where you got this fish-shaped jade pendant? Was it given to you by your elder? Where is he now? Did he come with you all?"
Changtian didn’t realize he had already asked many questions.
Wang Yufan shook his head after hearing this and said, "So many questions, which one do you want me to answer? I can only answer one."
"Why only answer one of my questions? You can answer everything I just said," Changtian said with a hint of authority.
Wang Yufan smiled and shook his head, saying, "I can’t, because I don’t want to."
Wang Yufan’s words left Changtian speechless; he had never seen such a young man. Not only was his origin mysterious, but his personality was also quite strange, showing no respect whatsoever to him, the Lord of the Imperial Court who was in the God King Realm.
Changtian suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Alright, then you answer me, where did you get that fish-shaped jade pendant in your hand? Tell me the truth, do not lie to this Lord of the Imperial Court."
Looking at Changtian’s appearance, Wang Yufan said,
"I can answer that, but I’m afraid you won’t understand even if you hear it."
"Hmm? What do you mean? What do you mean I won’t understand even if I hear it? You say what you want to say, whether I understand it or not is my business," Changtian said.
Wang Yufan then said.
"This fish-shaped jade pendant in my hand is mine, where else could I have gotten it? And not only this jade pendant in my hand, but even your fish-shaped jade pendant belongs to me. I don’t know if you believe what I’m saying, or if you can even comprehend it."
As expected, after Changtian heard Wang Yufan’s words, he loudly rebuked,
"Nonsense! This is yours? You look no more than twenty-five years old this year. If you said this fish-shaped jade pendant was passed down to you by your father or an elder, I might believe it. And you even said the one in this Lord of the Imperial Court’s hand is yours. You should know the consequences of deceiving this Lord of the Imperial Court; don’t force this Lord of the Imperial Court to act."
Listening to Changtian speak, Wang Yufan said,
"Did your elder not tell you when he gave you this fish-shaped jade pendant that you should be respectful when you see the other one, or something else? Or have you forgotten?"
Hearing Wang Yufan say these words, Changtian was once again startled in his heart and said to Wang Yufan,
"How do you know this? Is it because your elder told you that this Lord of the Imperial Court also has this fish-shaped jade pendant?
Regarding what you just said, this Lord of the Imperial Court has never forgotten the ancestors’ instructions. It’s just that this jade token appearing in your hand makes me suspicious. I have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. I need to confirm before I can proceed."
After hearing Changtian’s words, Wang Yufan clapped his hands and said,
"Not bad, your vigilance is good. It’s just that you’ve used it on the wrong person. Since I can produce this jade pendant and know its use, don’t you wonder why this is the case?"
After Wang Yufan finished speaking, he stood quietly, waiting for Changtian to figure it out himself.
Changtian thought for about dozens of breaths before looking up at Wang Yufan and saying,
"I’ll temporarily believe what you said. Then I ask you, since you are here today, you are not just showing your talents on the stone steps, are you? Tell me, what is your true purpose for coming here?"
Listening to Changtian’s words, Wang Yufan smiled and said,
"Of course I’m here for a good thing; I’m bringing someone to your Imperial Court." Wang Yufan said, looking at Li Meng’er beside him.
Changtian narrowed his eyes and said,
"What do you mean? Are you going to give this girl named Li Meng’er to me? This Lord of the Imperial Court has not been close to women for many years, but I can let her become a disciple of my Jidao Imperial Court."
Wang Yufan’s words not only baffled Changtian but also made Li Meng’er a little stunned. Was she just going to be given away by Young Master Changsheng like this? What kind of situation was this? Didn’t he say he would find her a strong sect? How did she end up being given to the Lord of the Jidao Imperial Court?
Li Meng’er’s thoughts flashed through her mind, and Wang Yufan also sensed it. He promptly interrupted Changtian, who was about to speak again, and said,
"Don’t think too much. I want you to be this person’s master. Are you willing?"
Hearing Wang Yufan’s words, Changtian’s heart stirred somewhat, but he still said,
"No, I want to accept Li Qiye, who has Emperor level talent, as my disciple. Although Li Meng’er’s talent is good, this Lord of the Imperial Court will not accept too many disciples."
After hearing Changtian’s words, Wang Yufan said, "Oh, you, take a closer look at Li Meng’er’s talent. With your God King Realm vision, you should be able to discern something, right?"
