Chapter 466: This Is What the World Is Like Translator: Tim Editor: GlobeGlotter

But the two men didn’t seem to see him and walked to Ye Mo, bowing. “Xia family leader, Xia Changtian, and Xia Pang greet Ye-Qianbei.”

Ye Mo nodded. He’d seen Xia Changtian at the temple auction. He’d bought the Blue Flower Blue Leaf Grass from him, but then, he was no match for Xia Changtian. Times change, and now, Xia Changtian looked up to him.

Ye Mo ignored Xia Changtian and looked at the frozen Young Master Pei, sneering, “I really want to see how you’re going to make me die.”

“I—” Young Master Pei was frozen. Why was Xia Changtian so respectful to this young man? If he’d known, he wouldn’t have dared act. He didn’t know who the young man was, but he’d kicked a hard brick.

Wu Yingyuan was sweating. More experienced than Young Master Pei, he hadn’t expected Wang Xiyue’s friend to be so powerful.

“Yi Jian Sect’s Yu Tao greets Ye-Qianbei. My sect’s disciple was disrespectful; I apologize.” Before Young Master Pei could speak, another old man rushed in.

Another sect leader showed such respect? Young Master Pei’s terror was overwhelming. He was about to break down. God, who had he messed with? His legs shook; he wanted to eat Wu Yingyuan.

Xia Changtian, hearing Ye Mo, turned to Young Master Pei. He knew that if the Xia family didn’t act, Yu Tao would take the opportunity. “You’re a Ping Jian Sect member?”

Young Master Pei shivered. “Yes, Xia-Qianbei… I— Wu Yingyuan said Boss Wang had a place for me… but wouldn’t let me in…”

Before he finished, a kick sent him flying. He spat blood and slumped to the ground. Ye Mo used his spirit sense; the man’s dantian was broken.

“Your Ping Jian Sect’s Liang Qisheng and Huo Quming wouldn’t dare disrespect Ye-Qianbei! You’re quite bold,” Xia Pang said.

Ye Mo looked coldly at Xia Pang. Huo Quming was a familiar name—he remembered him from when he accompanied Luo Xuan to get the Ni Luo Sutra. He was surprised he was from the hidden sects.

Yu Tao understood. He approached Wu Yingyuan and slapped him.

Just as Yu Tao was about to strike again, someone said, “Sect Leader, this is Gui Cheng’s Vice-Mayor.”

Wu Yingyuan felt abused but helpless. He deeply regretted his actions.

“Haha, a mayor! How did someone like you become a mayor? Martial Brother Yan, handle this. He doesn’t deserve to be mayor,” Yu Tao said, stopping. He still had rules to follow.

“Count the Xia family in; Xia Pang, you and Brother Yan handle this,” Xia Changtian said, unwilling to be left behind.

Wu Yingyuan was dazed. He’d lose his position. He understood the power of these hidden sect behemoths. It wasn’t a joke.

“Ye-Qianbei, I was blind, please have mercy…” Wu Yingyuan begged.

Ye Mo looked coldly at him. “Leave now, or you won’t get the chance.”

Wu Yingyuan knew this wasn’t a threat. He had to be someone significant. Losing his job was better than his life. He didn’t dare speak and ran. He’d seek support and maybe make a comeback.

Wang Xiyue woke, confused. He knew Ye Mo was a hidden master, but not this influential. Even these powerhouses sucked up to him.

Ye Mo saw Wang Xiyue was unharmed. He looked at his empty wrist. “Old Wang, where’s the bracelet I gave you?”

Wang Xiyue said shamefully, “I tested it; it had great defensive power, so I gave it to my son. I didn’t expect Wu Yingyuan to act like this. He’s a mayor, yet he brought thugs to beat me.”

Ye Mo couldn’t blame him. “If I have time, I’ll make you another; I don’t have any more.”

“Ye-Qianbei…” Yu Tao said awkwardly.

Ye Mo nodded. He knew they were sucking up, but in their world, the strongest was the boss. The Xia family came because of Xia Seng, Yu Tao because of Feng Nan. He’d beaten their people, yet they sucked up because he was stronger. There was nothing to be grateful for. Without his power, a coffin awaited him.

“Yu Tao came to apologize; my sect disciple offended Qianbei; it’s my fault—” Yu Tao said, relieved, but Ye Mo stopped him.

Ye Mo looked at Yu Tao and Xia Changtian. “I understand. This ends now. Wang Xiyue is my friend; I hope your men don’t cause trouble.”

“Yes, rest assured Ye-Qianbei. We’ll control our disciples and make Boss Wang happy,” Yu Tao said, relieved. It was the best outcome. He’d heard about Ye Mo’s slaughters.

Wang Xiyue was dazed and emotional. Because he befriended Ye Mo, these titans restricted their disciples for him. Before, he was the lowest in this hotel.

Building Ye Mo a suite turned out to be his best decision. He’d acquired Ye Mo’s friendship and gained these titans’ respect.

“Ye-Qianbei, this is the jade card for tonight’s gathering. If you have time, come. It’s at King Qing Guang’s palace in the ghost city,” Xia Changtian said, taking out a card. He had three.

“Oh, thank you, Sect Leader Xia.” Ye Mo accepted it. He planned to go anyway.
