Rebirth of the Cultivation Devil

Mu Feilin was stunned. Of course she knew Lin Meng, the eldest young lady of the Lin Family; she just hadn’t expected that the Lin Family’s eldest young lady would actually know Ye Qingfeng as well.

No wonder Ye Qingfeng dared to be so arrogant. She had originally thought that what happened last time at Mountain River Villa was because of the power of Ye Qingfeng’s lover, Jian Lingling of the Jian Family, so no one dared to touch him.

She was still waiting for the people from Blue Rain Hotel to arrest Ye Qingfeng, but she hadn’t expected Lin Meng to also know Ye Qingfeng. Just what was this man’s identity, and why were the two great families of Hai City both treating him with such respect?

"Do you really think that just because you have the Lin Family backing you, you can do whatever you want now? You’ve stirred up nationwide public outrage this time. No matter how powerful the force behind you is, it won’t be able to save you!"

Liao Jun shouted viciously.

"Bang!"

Ye Qingfeng directly sent Liao Jun flying with a kick. He had no patience to listen to this guy blabbering here.

"Drag these two out first." Ye Qingfeng didn’t even spare them a glance as he said blandly.

Lin Meng hesitated for a moment, then waved her hand. A few security guards stepped forward and, completely ignoring the screams of Mu Feilin and Liao Jun, directly grabbed them and dragged them away.

"Ye Qingfeng, you’ve made too big a mess this time. I’ve known about it for a while, but never had the chance to contact you. I didn’t expect to run into you here."

Lin Meng looked at Ye Qingfeng, her heart a jumble of emotions, not knowing what she was feeling.

"It’s fine." Ye Qingfeng chuckled lightly.

"How can it be fine? Ye Qingfeng, do you have any idea how big this has blown up? I know you’re a very powerful Martial Artist, and in your Martial Artist world your status must be very high, but this world is still ultimately ruled by ordinary people. Your current impact on public opinion is extremely bad. The state will definitely be displeased. No matter how strong you are, you can’t go against the state, can you?"

Lin Meng said anxiously.

Ye Qingfeng smiled faintly, without answering Lin Meng’s question. Instead, his wrist moved and he took out a few bottles of Elixirs from his Space Ring, then tossed them to the Martial Artists standing behind Lin Meng.

"You’re willing to guard the Lin Family, which counts as hard work. Take these bottles of Elixirs as payment." Ye Qingfeng said casually.

The few Martial Artists were instantly overjoyed. They had been guarding the Lin Family all this time, their greatest desire being to gain a bit of Ye Qingfeng’s favor. If they got the chance to obtain Elixirs refined by Master Ye, that would be a heaven-sent blessing.

"Many thanks, Master Ye. We are the Lin Family’s Tribute, and the Lin Family has given us great support. This is merely what we should—"

One Martial Artist stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Enough, spare me the nonsense. Just focus on guarding the Lin Family." Ye Qingfeng waved his hand and cut him off.

Lin Meng hadn’t expected that Ye Qingfeng still had the mind to concern himself with the Lin Family’s affairs at a time like this. While feeling moved, she grew even more anxious, and hurriedly said, "Ye Qingfeng, don’t you know you’re making enemies in all directions right now? No one will be able to protect you!"

"So what if I stand against the whole world?" Ye Qingfeng said calmly.

Yun Xi’s delicate body trembled slightly in Ye Qingfeng’s arms. His words were simply too domineering; to her, this was undoubtedly the most moving love confession in the world.

Even though she knew Ye Qingfeng couldn’t really stand against the whole world, Yun Xi still felt deeply touched. For her sake, so what if he became the enemy of the world.

Yun Xi docilely rested her head on Ye Qingfeng’s shoulder, feeling an incomparable warmth. The aura on Ye Qingfeng’s body still made her intoxicated.

"Ye Qingfeng, for you, I’m willing to stand against the whole world too." Yun Xi raised her head to look at Ye Qingfeng, her eyes wide open.

Ye Qingfeng was momentarily speechless. What he’d just said wasn’t meant as sweet talk to Yun Xi; he had meant it.

Once he recovered, he truly would fear nothing in this world.

"Weren’t you going to attend the award ceremony? Come on, let’s go in." Ye Qingfeng said with a faint smile, putting his arm around Yun Xi’s waist as he started walking toward the hotel.

"Ye Qingfeng, you’re crazy. You’re not taking Yun Xi and leaving right now—you actually still want to attend the award ceremony? In a little while, the police will probably be here."

Lin Meng called out quickly.

Ye Qingfeng turned his head back, let out a light laugh, then tossed Lin Meng a bottle of Elixir and said, "This is for you."

With that, Ye Qingfeng held Yun Xi close and strode into the hotel.

Looking at the backs of Ye Qingfeng and Yun Xi, Lin Meng’s heart trembled slightly. Although she felt that Ye Qingfeng was acting far too impulsively, she also felt a bit moved.

Ye Qingfeng’s behavior was simply too domineering. To stand against the world for his woman—what woman doesn’t hope her man would be willing to risk everything for her?

This kind of overbearing arrogance was indeed stirring to the heart. Lin Meng’s heart quivered slightly; unfortunately, this man did not belong to her.

All of this was being broadcast live online, projected into major livestream rooms.

"He’s too arrogant, this guy is way too arrogant. If they don’t arrest someone like him, is there any hope left for our country?"

"Does anyone know what those medicine bottles he took out actually are?"

"Lawless! Absolutely lawless! Just what is this guy’s identity, to be so unrestrained—don’t tell me he’s the son of the richest man?"

"Even the richest man’s son wouldn’t dare be this arrogant, right? Maybe he’s the descendant of some top central official. Even then, he wouldn’t dare be this presumptuous."

Unaware of the online uproar, Ye Qingfeng led Yun Xi into the venue of the award ceremony. In the vast hall, lights were dazzling. Yun Xi found her seat and sat down. Ye Qingfeng didn’t care whose seat was beside hers; he just sat down directly.

More and more celebrities entered one after another, and the seats around Yun Xi quickly filled up with stars. But their expressions were all a bit strange. Yun Xi’s incident had blown up so much that they had all heard about it.

Quite a few people secretly turned to size Ye Qingfeng up, wanting to see who this brazen, lawless rich heir really was. Some of the actresses, in particular, felt their hearts stir slightly when they saw Ye Qingfeng’s looks.

They had to admit, this man was pretty handsome, and to be so domineering for his woman was truly mesmerizing.

The award ceremony soon officially began. It started with some boring awards, which naturally held no interest for Ye Qingfeng, but he still sat there calmly beside Yun Xi.

In the venue, all the cameras still trained on Ye Qingfeng. Even when winners went on stage to claim their awards, the reporters hardly gave them any screen time, because everyone’s attention was on Ye Qingfeng and Yun Xi. No one cared who was winning what.

Soon, it was time for the Best Musician award. Unexpectedly, the winner turned out to be Yun Xi, for her solo composition "Youthful Woes."

After the host announced it, there wasn’t a single clap in the audience. The scene was painfully awkward. Online, the insults toward Yun Xi only intensified. For someone like her to actually win an award—what a colossal joke.

By convention, the winner would perform her award-winning song on stage. Yun Xi’s body trembled slightly. Under this kind of pressure, even she couldn’t help feeling a bit nervous.
