Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

In Gods Bestow City’s southern city district, no.1112 courtyard…!

Qian Wanguan led the group into the courtyard and activated the restriction immediately. Some scouts emerged in the alley outside. They took a few glances at the courtyard and started to make contact with the people in the nearby courtyards and were prepared to buy their courtyards to allow them to monitor closely.

When Jiang Yi entered the courtyard, he closed his eyes to enter the Union of Heaven and Man state. He casually sensed the surroundings and made sure that no one extended their divine senses inside. He then smiled bitterly, opened his eyes to look at Huangfu Taotian, and asked, “Young Master Huangfu. How did you determine that I am the one?”

“Master!”

Huangfu Taotian didn’t look at Qian Wanguan and cupped his hands towards Jiang Yi instead while replying, “Back at the Green Bird Merchant Association’s Heaven Fate Ship in Gods Bestow Sea, I had already locked onto your soul spirit aura presence, which will make it convenient for me to look for you and repay you 100 folds for the celestial stones that you loaned to me. So… once you came out, I detected you.”

“Soul spirit aura presence?”

Jiang Yi laughed bitterly again and asked curiously, “Even if you can lock onto my soul spirit aura presence, how did you determine that I was the one that lent you 80 billion?”

“Ke-Ke!”

Huangfu Taotian laughed and said, “In that situation, who does Master think will dare to lend me celestial stones? Who would dare to offend Tiger Lei? I have once met Master in Gods Bestow City, and I had this intuition that it must be you!”

“Huh!”

Jiang Yi was speechless as he felt as though Huangfu Taotian was just guessing, but Jiang Yi had confessed without being pressed.

Since matters were already like this, Jiang Yi didn’t want to say anything more. He paused for a moment before saying, “Young Master Huangfu, I lent you 80 billion because we are people that have the same personality, and I admire your character and infatuation. Just as Situ Ao said that Young Master is worth 1000 billion and has a limitless future. I do not think that you will not have the ability to pay up this 80 billion in the future. Hence… you do not have to bring down yourself. As for serving as a slave for ten years, please do not mention it again as I do not have the qualifications to be the master of Young Master Huangfu who is a generational genius.”

Huangfu Taotian didn’t get stirred up because Jiang Yi was speaking highly of him. Instead, he replied with an iron-like resolution, “Master, you have your own principles; Taotian has Taotian’s own principles. I will definitely return the 80 billion celestial stones, and I am not serving as a slave for ten years to repay my debt but to repay my gratitude. Perhaps, in Master’s heart, lending 80 billion is just an effortless task. To Taotian, it is just the same as the favor of saving my life. I, Huangfu Taotian, have an indomitable spirit. I repay vengeance with vengeance; I repay kindness with kindness. If Master still wants to debate, then I shall commit suicide immediately to return the favor to Master!”

“This…”

Jiang Yi, Qian Wanguan, and the Golden Flood Dragon were looking at Huangfu Taotian’s determined expression and his resolute eyes. He was emotionally moved and simply a true iron-blooded man. Or perhaps, he was a stubborn donkey!

“Alright!”

Jiang Yi contemplated for a long time and shook his head with a sigh. “Then, Big Brother Huangfu, you shall follow me for ten years. Of course, you must never mention the slave word again. You and I shall address each other as brothers. Jiang Nobody will not argue with you as I truly need Big Brother Huangfu’s help!”

As Jiang Yi spoke, he circulated his essence force to remove the effects of the appearance alteration elixir. At the same time, he took down the Illusion Moon Stone to reveal his true appearance. He cupped his hands said, “As I have been in pursuit by my enemies, I have no choice but to hide my real face. I hope that Big Brother Huangfu can forgive me.”

“Uh…”

This time, it was Huangfu Taotian’s turn to be astonished. He didn’t expect for Jiang Yi to be so young as Jiang Yi was at least seven or eight years younger than him, right? Although Jiang Yi’s voice sounded very young, Huangfu Taotian instinctively assumed that Jiang Yi was at least an over-30-year-old middle-aged man. He had already witnessed all three of the Heaven Paintings, and it was impossible to produce such breathtaking paintings without experiencing trials, hardships, and emotions.

Qian Wanguan and the Golden Flood Dragon slowly revealed their true appearances as well. Jiang Yi chose to trust Huangfu Taotian while they chose to trust Jiang Yi. In any case, it was no longer necessary for them to conceal themselves anymore.

“My real name is Jiang Yi, and these are my brothers, Qian Wanguan and the Golden Flood Dragon!”

Not only did Jiang Yi revealed his appearance, but he even told him his real name. Huangfu Taotian was startled again, but his eyes quickly burst out with radiance as he asked, “Jiang Yi? Are you the one that caused the Young Masters of the She Clan and the Jian Clan to return with failure? The one that was pursued by four great clans and the Jiang Yi who is renowned in East Imperial Continent?”

“Eh?”

Qian Wanguan added on with an amazed expression. “My Boss is so famous?”

“Hahaha!”

Huangfu Taotian laughed towards the sky and said, “Heroes are truly determined from youth. Gold will always be gold and will never be covered by sand. Huangfu Taotian is extremely honored to be able to know everyone.”

“Hahaha!”

Jiang Yi and Huangfu Taotian looked at each other and laughed heartily again. They both mutually felt that they were the same kind of person, and they didn’t need to talk much to understand one another. They were just like Boya meeting Ziqi</anno>, it felt as though they had known each other all along.

“Oh, right!”

Huangfu Taotian recalled something suddenly and frowned while asking, “Master, erm… Brother Jiang Yi. Did you reside in Sky Thunder City one year ago? I remember during that time, Lu Lin had been frenziedly tracking down someone called Chief Jiang, and his nickname is Lone Wolf? That person should be Brother Jiang Yi, right?”

Jiang Yi nodded and said, “Lu Lin wanted to forcefully marry my little sister. My strength isn’t competent enough, or I would have killed him.”

“Hahaha!”

Huangfu Taotian laughed heartily again and said, “What is Lu Lin? If I have the opportunity, I will personally slaughter him for you. Let alone him—even if Lei Qiyan dares to come looking for trouble, I will definitely break his legs. Brother Jiang Yi can just stay in Gods Bestow City with ease. With me around, no one will dare to come and look for trouble. Behind the scenes, four major clans might be male robbers and female prostitutes; but they value their reputation very much and are very particular about the rules.”

“Male robbers and female prostitutes…”

Jiang Yi and Qian Wanguan looked at each other while they had this awkward expression. Huangfu Taotian might be born in the Huangfu Clan, but he actually said the four major clans to be so dirty? When Huangfu Taotian made his statement, the trio felt father relaxed.

“Actually!”

Huangfu Taotian paused for a moment and continued talking, “Brother Jiang Yi is not only famed throughout the entire Gods Bestow Tribe, and I reckon that Yi Piaopiao’s name will also be renowned in the entire Stellarsky Domain before long. If you do not make use of your status, it will truly be a pity. Brother Jiang Yi can go feign civility with the four major clans and express your willingness to form friendly relations. The four major clans will surely not make things difficult for you. Of course… if Brother Jiang Yi has the intention to join one of the clans, it is also possible. After all, the four major clans possess ample resources.”

“Ke-Ke!”

Jiang Yi let out faint laughter and looked at Huangfu Taotian. “Big Brother Huangfu, do you think I am someone who will prefer to join other clans and become a lackey?”

Huangfu Taotian looked at Jiang Yi and nodded. “I have slipped my tongue. Everyone can just stay here with ease. Tiger Lei and Lu Li will not come looking for trouble. As for the trashes Lu Lin and Lei Qiyan, I will deal with them. As long as you don’t exit the city, no one will be able to hurt a single hair on you.”

“Alright!”

Jiang Yi was completely relaxed as this was what he required right now. As long as he could stay in Gods Bestow City peacefully and no one came looking for trouble, why would he be so foolish to exit the city? When his strength reached a certain level, he would immediately execute the Heaven Evasion and flee to East Imperial Continent.

As the Thearch Palace appeared in his hand as he brought out Feng Luan and the girls. He laughed loudly and said, “Feng’er, Qing Yu, quickly go prepare a table of good wine and dishes. I want to have 300 toasts of wine with Big Brother Huangfu to my heart’s content!”

“Let’s forget about drinking wine!”

Huangfu Taotian shook his head with an agonized expression and said, “After Ling’er passed away, I have abstained from drinking. I swore that as long as Ling’er didn’t revive, I will not touch a drop of wine.”

“Ling’er!”

Jiang Yi’s expression turned still as he glanced at Feng Luan, Jiang Xiaonu, and Qing Yu. He paused for a moment before asking, “Big Brother Huangfu. If it is convenient, could you tell me about the incident with Young Lady Ling’er? Let’s see if we can think of a way together.”
