I Have A Sword

Chapter 705: If I Care About My Pride

Chapter 705: If I Care About My Pride

Ye Guan was utterly shocked.

What the...? The contrast was too stark!

Although he had mentally prepared himself for Qing Dai to turn hostile and act as if she didn’t know him, he had still underestimated her original personality.

What the hell, is she this aggressive?

Qing Dai stared at Ye Guan, her eyes even showing a hint of killing intent. However, when she saw the jade pendant on Ye Guan's chest, her brows furrowed.

At that moment, the Wise Master nearby hurriedly said, "This Young Master Ye brought you here, you..."

Before he could finish, Qing Dai turned and slapped him.

Boom!

The Wise Master was instantly sent flying.

Qing Dai glanced coldly at the Wise Master who had been slapped away. "Did I ask you? Keep your mouth shut."

The Wise Master was speechless.

Qing Dai turned back to look at Ye Guan. The two stared at each other. Within Ye Guan, the Qingxuan Sword was already poised to strike. If Qing Dai really tried to kill him, he would not sit idly by and let her.

For a moment, the atmosphere was tense.

After a long while, Qing Dai turned away from Ye Guan and turned to walk outside. But when she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and said, "Leave the Primordial Spirit Land."

With that, she disappeared into the distance without looking back.

Inside the hall, Ye Guan frowned. Qing Dai had changed too much. She was like a completely different person, and her temper was extraordinarily volatile.

She’s on par with Aunt Qingqing!

At this moment, The Wise Master slowly walked back in, blood still on his lips.

Ye Guan looked at the Wise Master. "Was she always this aggressive?"

The Wise Master nodded.

Ye Guan was a bit dissatisfied. "Why didn’t you warn me?"

The Wise Master retorted, "Didn’t you know?"

Ye Guan was speechless. How could I have known?

The Wise Master glanced at Ye Guan and then said, "It's surprising she didn’t kill you."

Ye Guan was puzzled. "What do you mean?"

The Wise Master said gravely, "She really dislikes outsiders, especially First God."

Ye Guan was utterly confused. "Why?"

The Wise Master asked in a serious tone, "How can you not know anything? Didn't First God tell you anything about this?"

Ye Guan was speechless. Why would First God tell me such random things?

The Wise Master hesitated for a moment, then said, "Qing Dai likes her sister."

Ye Guan was puzzled. "Isn't that a normal thing?"

The Wise Master gave Ye Guan a look. How could he be so innocent?

At that moment, Ye Guan realized, "Wait, are you saying that kind of like?"

The Wise Master nodded.

Ye Guan was stunned.

Qing Dai is actually... into women?

The Wise Master said gravely, "When her sister married the First God, it was a huge blow to her..."

The elder shook his head. "To us, he was always an outsider. Even though the saintess married him, it was considered a step down for her..."

As he said this, he himself found it laughable and shook his head again. "Some issues are not easily resolved even if they are known."

As an elder of the Primordial Spirit Clan, he naturally knew that such thinking was harmful, but there was nothing he could do. Even he couldn't change the clan's arrogant and conceited mindset.

Because after defeating the Chu Palace back then, the Primordial Spirit Clan had been invincible for far too long. They had no rivals!

Who could make the Primordial Spirit Clan bow down?

Ye Guan shook his head. He knew that First God had been too indulgent with the Primordial Spirit Clan back then. If it had been him, he would have made them kneel long ago.

That's often how it is. The more respect you give others, the more they take advantage of you.

And First God, being a person of a gentle disposition, didn't like to act too harshly, which led to the Primordial Spirit Clan becoming somewhat insolent.

Of course, Ye Guan could understand, as First God liked Qing Mo, so he naturally wouldn't act too harshly towards the Primordial Spirit Clan.

At this moment, the elder asked again, "Young friend, so what is your decision...?"

Ye Guan looked at the elder and said, "Then I'll reveal my identity."

The Wise Master nodded slightly, "I'll make the arrangements."

Ye Guan smiled, "Alright!"

The Wise Master fixed his gaze on Ye Guan, "Young friend, I must warn you, the current generation of the Primordial Spirit Clan is the strongest in our history, even stronger than during First God's time. So, your strength..."

He knew the young man before him was extraordinary, but he still had some concerns due to Ye Guan's relatively low cultivation level.

Ye Guan calmly asked, "What is the cultivation level of the most formidable young talent in the Primordial Spirit Clan right now?"

The Wise Master said solemnly, "At the peak of eighty-percent divinity."

Ye Guan's eyelids twitched. He was silent for a moment before asking, "Is this Primordial Spirit Token for sale? I have money, a lot of money."

The Wise Master's expression froze.

Ye Guan continued, "I'm serious."

The Wise Master shook his head, "It is not for sale."

Ye Guan was a bit speechless and puzzled, "Really? Eighty-percent divinity?"

The Wise Master nodded, "Yes."

Ye Guan felt a headache coming on. He had indeed underestimated the talents and prodigies of the Primordial Spirit Clan.

The Wise Master hesitated and then said, "So, you need to think carefully!"

Ye Guan shook his head and smiled, "It's fine, go ahead and reveal my identity."

The Wise Master said solemnly, "Young Master Ye, this is not a trivial matter. If you are defeated, you might not only be humiliated but also killed...The Primordial Spirit Clan has never gotten over their defeat to First God. Given a chance to redeem this shame, they will surely go all out."

Ye Guan nodded slightly, "I understand."

The Wise Master stared at Ye Guan, "So, you still want to reveal your identity?"

Ye Guan nodded, "For the sake of Sister Ruo, I will give it a try."

The Wise Master nodded slightly, "I'll make the arrangements."

With that, he turned to leave. Clearly, he was excited too. But it was uncertain whether it was because he could save his daughter or because he could avenge the past disgrace.

At the door, The Wise Master suddenly stopped and turned to look at Ye Guan, "How confident are you?"

Ye Guan replied calmly, "It depends on whether I care about my pride."

The Wise Master was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Ye Guan explained seriously, "If I choose to care about my pride, I have at most a fifty-percent chance of winning. If I don't care about my pride, I have a hundred-percent chance."

The Wise Master was dumbfounded.
