Initially, Ye Xiao also wanted to sit but seeing that the other three Immortal Foundation Realm martial artists did not sit, he also chose to stand behind the Eldest Miss.

Yue Qi sat beside the Yue Ying and did not say a word. Her large black eyes continued to stare at the decorations in the hall.

​​

Yue Qi and Yue Ying did not say a word. There were some things that were inconvenient to say due to the presence of an outsider.

Yue Qianchou said to Gong Tian, "I don't know Young Master Gong has come to this mayor's house?"

The corner of Ye Xiao's mouth raised into a smile when he heard Yue Qianchou calling Gond Tian "Young Master Gong" which sounded a little awkward.

Gong Tian hurriedly stood up and saluted as he spoke, "This nephew has heard that the Eldest Miss of the Heavenly River City has talent that surpasses her peers and that she has a beauty that can topple cities. She has never been married before. In order to express my sincerity to Eldest Miss, this nephew has prepared a small gift. Lord Mayor, please accept it!"

After speaking, Gong Tian lightly clapped his hands and a person behind him respectfully passed a jade case to him.

Yue Qianchou lightly opening the jade box and a pill appeared before the eyes of the crowd. The scent of the pill filled the entire hall.

"Immortal Origin Pill" Yue Qianchou could not help but be moved. The Immortal Origin Pill was an Immortal Pill that all Immortal Lord Realm martial artists would yearn for in their dreams. Once a Late Stage Immortal Lord Realm expert consumes this Immortal Origin Pill, they would have a 50% chance of breaking through to the Immortal King Realm.

Yue Qianchou was already at the Immortal King Realm so he knew how difficult it was to break through to the Immortal King Realm. Fifty percent of the chance was worth for countless Late Stage Immortal Lord Realm experts to go crazy for.

It was obvious that Gong Tian wanted to use the Immortal Origin Pill as a betrothal gift and come knocking on Yue Qianchou's door to propose marriage.

Smiling faintly, Yue Qianchou shook his head. Gong Tian's expression changed and asked with some nervousness: "What? Does Lord Mayor think that gifts are too little? This nephew is willing to offer two!"

Hearing Gong Tian's words, Yue Qianchou's face became displeased and he coldly said: "I, Yue Qianchou, have been fighting all my life and have annihilated countless number of Devils. Could it be that I will be greedy for this pill?"

Just as Gong Tian was about to explain, Yue Qianchou continued to say, "Although Yue Ying is my daughter, she has the right to choose everything she wants. If you want to pursue her, you should just rely on your own abilities. Don't think of using such useless things."

Hearing this, Gong Tian's lost heart suddenly stirred. Just as he was about to speak, the Yue Ying's cold voice sounded out, "You can return with your gift. My future husband will definitely not be you?"

His expression was currently extremely unsightly. Gong Tian's heart which had just recovered its vigour, once again dropped to the bottom in an instant.

"Girl, you have to think this through. Gong Tian is a dragon amongst men, a genius with the highest chance of breaking through Immortal Emperor Realm. Don't regret your decision for the rest of your life just because of a momentary mistake." Gong Yaxin who had been sitting in his chair the entire time with his eyes closed coldly snorted.

"Thank you for your good intentions but I do not need you to remind me." Yue Ying only wanted them to leave as soon as possible so that she could take care of her own matters.

Gong Yaxin never thought that Yue Ying would be so rude. He was originally full of confidence. He never thought that with his cultivation level, he would receive such treatment.

Gong Yaxin had long heard about Yue Ying's beauty. She was simply too beautiful because of which she had to use a mask to cover her face all the time. She had also broken through to the Immortal Lord Realm which was why he came to propose marriage with Gong Tian.

He had thought that with Gong Tian's natural talent and cultivation as well as his family background, he would be able to smoothly gain the recognition of Yue Qingchou and marry Yue Ying. But he never thought that he would be rejected mercilessly even before he could propose Yue Ying.

Gong Tian tried to calm his anger and said, "Miss Yue Ying, you better consider it carefully. You have to know that with my talent, one day, I will definitely become a martial artist at the Immortal Emperor Realm."

Hearing the threat in Gong Tian's words, Yue Ying waved her hand and replied indifferently, "If you want to rely on your talent to threaten me then you're wrong. I, Yue Ying can never be threatened."

"Pa! Pa! Pal"

A round of applause rang out causing everyone to look over in unison.

Ye Xiao awkwardly withdrew his palm and said embarrassedly: "I can't help it after hearing the Eldest Miss."

After saying that, he gave her a big thumbs up. Yue Qi didn't understand anything and simply giggled.

The Eldest Miss also felt it was funny and at the same time secretly admired Ye Xiao's guts. What did this guy have to be so brave? Is he not afraid of anyone at all?

"Insolent servant, how can you be so impudent here?" Gong Tian was infuriated to the point of boiling in anger.

Ye Xiao was a little taken aback and thought: "Your proposal was rejected by someone else and you threatened them just because you lost your face. And now you are using me to vent your anger out?"

"What are you looking at? A dog slave like you does not know any rules. If you had lived in my Gong Family, you would have been chopped into pieces and fed to dogs a long time ago!" Gong Tian said angrily when he saw Ye Xiao looking at him in surprise.

Yue Ying's expression changed slightly. Just as she was about to stand up, her shoulder was suddenly held down by a hand. She could not help but tremble.

"Forget it," Ye Xiao said softly.

Ye Xiao's action caused everyone's face to stiffen. The most shocked person was Yue Qianchou. If not for his quick reaction, the teacup in his hands would have dropped to the ground.

He understood his proud daughter too well. Since young, besides her mother, no one else had touched her. She never let anyone touch her. And also, with her aloof and arrogant personality, no one dared to provoke her.

Ye Xiao's movements were extremely natural but the strangest thing was that the Eldest Miss actually acted so obediently without any sort of intense reaction.

Yue Qianchou, the scholar and the burly man, all looked at each other with weird expressions on their faces.

Seeing this, Gong Tian's face was filled with disbelief and at the same time he erupted in anger and roared: "Who are you?"

Ye Xiao laughed faintly said: "Guess."

Gong Tian stifled his words. His eyes were spitting fire as he said, "Kid, from your dressing, I can tell that you are a servant. You don't have the right to speak here, get out of here quickly!"

"Young Master Gong, you better see clearly that this is not your Gong Family. It is not appropriate to be giving orders here, is it?" Ye Xiao said indifferently.

Ye Xiao's words did not carry a trace of anger but his tone was indifferent as though he did not take Gong Tian seriously.

The corners of the Eldest Miss's mouth curled into a smile. She did not expect that this Ye Xiao was actually an expert at the bickering. Well, even Ye Xiao himself did not know this.

Ye Xiao's words caused Gong Tian's face to darken. Because his talent was extraordinary, he had been greatly doted upon by his grandfather.

However, now, he had run into so many obstacles here, even an insignificant servant dared to embarrass him in front of the crowd. The rage in his chest flared up and he could no longer hold it in.

"Dog slave, you're courting death!"

Gong Tian roared. He took a step forward, causing the entire hall to shake. Then he grabbed at Ye Xiao with his claws. His attacks were extremely ruthless.

The moment he made his move, everyone was caught off guard. This was because they were all people with status. Even if they wanted to make a move, they would not do it here.

Unexpectedly, Gong Tian did not care about all of this at all. He only felt that he was about to explode from anger. If he did not kill Ye Xiao now, his heart would never be at peace.
