"The 30 percent I am talking about is restoring the Array of Unyielding Emotions to 30 percent of its original state."
Against everyone's confused stares, Ling Xian's lips curled up and he uttered out an arrogant statement.
Instantly, the entire place silenced.
Thirty percent of its original state?
Everyone's gaze was fixated on Ling Xian. They were full of shock. They didn't think he would dare to make such an arrogant statement.
Remember that even Master Jiang, who was famous on the 36 islands, could only restore the Array of Unyielding Emotions to 10 percent of its original state. And this was before. Right now, he couldn't even guarantee that the array would not be completely destroyed, let alone restore its original state!
Yet now, Ling Xian was claiming that he could restore the array to 30 percent of its original state. How could they not be shocked?
After a long while, Yan Qiong Fei frowned and asked in a low voice, "Are you serious?"
"Of course." Ling Xian's expression was calm. He was still as calm and collected as ever.
Yan Qiong Fei's eyes flickered with strangeness. Even though he was shocked by the young man's confidence, he still didn't believe Ling Xian could do it. "Young man, don't be so full of yourself. If you can't do it, you will lose all face."
"It seems like Leader Yan doesn't believe me." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up as he stared at this man who was hostile towards him. "I don't understand why Leader Yan is hostile towards me. I only know one thing. If I can do it, then you, who don't trust me, will lose face. "
"Hmm?"
Yan Qiong Fei frowned and said coldly, "Interesting. How many years has it been since someone dared to talk to me like this? Young man, you are far too arrogant."
"No, I am not arrogant. I am confident." Ling Xian grinned. Though his tone was light, it was unquestionable.
"Good, good confidence!" Yan Qiong Fei suddenly laughed out loud. But very quickly, his smile turned cold, "I sure want to see if you have what it takes to support your confidence."
"You don't need to worry about that. I just want to ask you one thing." Ling Xian's expression was calm as he asked, "If I can restore the Array of Unyielding Emotions to 30 percent of its original state, will the Yan Clan grant me one request?"
"As long as it is within the capabilities of my Yan Clan, I can promise you anything." Yan Qiong Fei spoke softly. Looking at the handsome young man before him, he mocked, "Let's see if you have the capabilities."
"Then, Leader Yan, please wait and see."
Ling Xian frowned, not understanding why Yan Qiong Fei was hostile towards him.
Logically speaking, he was willing to help. Even if the Yan Clan didn't believe that he could fix the god array, they should be more polite to him. Yet before his eyes, Yan Qiong Fei was not only treating him with a cold face, he was also mocking him. This was not something a clan leader would do.
How would he know that the reason Yan Xiong Fei was hostile towards him was because of Yan Ning Zhi.
After all, other than being the leader of a clan, Yan Qiong Fei was also a father. Even though he was satisfied with Ling Xian's cultivation level and felt that Ling Xian was worthy of his daughter, every time he thought about his daughter falling in love with Ling Xian, Yan Xiong Fei felt uncomfortable.
The fact that he didn't attack Ling Xian right away was already the result of him trying his best to control himself.
"Alright, then I will wait and see. If you can really restore the Array of Unyielding Emotions to 30 percent of its original state, then I will apologize for what I said." Yan Qiong Fei's face was cold, he didn't believe Ling Xian could do it.
He wasn't the only one who didn't believe it. Jiang Cheng Zi didn't believe it either. As an array grandmaster, he naturally knew how difficult it was to fix the array.
Even he was helpless, how could a 20 something year old do it?
However, Jiang Cheng Zi was a gentle person and did not treat them coldly like Yan Qiong Fei. Instead, he smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Alright, one is the leader of the Yan Clan, the other is a peerless genius. You two are dragons and phoenixes among men, you should appreciate each other."
"Yeah, dad, don't talk so much. He is here to help you, how can you talk to him like that?" Yan Ning Zhi pouted and smiled apologetically at Ling Xian.
"Hmmph, we haven't even done anything yet and you are already helping him. I really didn't care about you." Yan Qiong Fei hissed. It was better if Yan Ning Zhi didn't speak. The moment she spoke, his jealousy intensified.
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
Yan Ning Zhi's cheeks flushed red as she stomped her foot in embarrassment.
"Hmmph, I will say this now. If he can really fix it, then I will apologize to him." The more Yan Qiong Fei thought about it, the more he didn't like Ling Xian. "But if he can't fix it …"
Before he could finish, Ling Xian beat him to it and finished the sentence for Yan Xiong Fei, "If you can't fix it, then make me lose all my face."
Ling Xian's expression was calm. But underneath his calmness, there was a burning anger.
He traveled thousands of miles to the Yan Clan. Though he came with an ulterior motive, he was here to help. It was one thing for the Yan Clan to not appreciate his kindness, but for a dignified clan leader to put on a sour face and even harbor enmity towards him, this was too inexcusable.
Because of this, Ling Xian was naturally angered.
It was true that he was born kind and had a big heart. But that didn't mean he was easy to bully!
"Okay, I hope you have the ability and not just talk big."
Feeling Ling Xian's anger, Yan Qiong Fei grinned. He was feeling very happy.
"Why are you laughing?" Ling Xian's lips curled up, "If you laugh now, you will cry in a moment."
"I think I will laugh until the end and you will lose all your face." Yan Qiong Fei's face was full of confidence.
"Then, Leader Yan, please open your eyes and prepare to cry." Ling Xian was confident.
"Less bullsh * t. Since you are so confident, then you don't mind if I call people to watch." Yan Qiong Fei glared at Ling Xian.
Ling Xian frowned slightly but quickly relaxed. He smiled, "If you are not afraid of apologizing to me in front of everyone, why would I mind?"
"Good, what an arrogant young man." Yan Qiong Fei laughed out of anger. Then, he summoned his Qi and shouted into the air!
"Everyone in the Yan Clan, gather at the square and wait for Master Xian to fix the Array of Unyielding Emotions!"
Just then, like a thunderclap, his voice echoed throughout the entire Yan Clan!
Who was Master Xian?
They've never heard of him.
Everyone looked suspicious. However, because of the leader's order and the fact that the Array of Unyielding Emotions was being fixed, they all rushed to the square.
"Father, you have crossed the line. How can you do this!"
Yan Ning Zhi's face was red from anger. She didn't think her father would cross the line. Wasn't he trying to embarrass Ling Xian?
Jiang Cheng Zi frowned as well, thinking that Yan Qiong Fei's actions were not befitting of a Clan leader. However, he had a daughter of his own and understood Yan Qiong Fei's pettiness. Therefore, he merely sighed and didn't comment.
"Father …"
Against his daughter's accusation, Yan Qiong Fei bitterly chuckled, thinking that he shouldn't have done this. However, he was riding a tiger and couldn't back down. He could only take it one step at a time.
"Miss Yan, it's okay." Ling Xian waved his hand at Yan Ning Zhi and shifted his gaze to Yan Xiong Fei. He said softly, "Leader Yan, take me there. I look forward to the moment you apologize to me in front of everyone."
"Hmmph, let's go!"
Flapping around his sleeve, Yan Qiong Fei marched forward in giant steps and entered the Yan Clan's House.
At this, Ling Xian and them marched forward and stepped into the gold door in midair. Then, they followed Yan Qiong Fei to the center of the House.
It was the square Yan Qiong Fei was talking about earlier.
By now, the place was already filled with people. Every now and then, silhouettes would fly across the sky and land on the square. Not only were there descendants of the Yan Clan, there were also many array masters who had yet to leave the Yan Clan.
Hearing that someone was trying to fix the Array of Unyielding Emotions, these array masters were naturally curious. Therefore, they all hurried over.
"Ning Zhi, give the array board to this young man," Yan Qiong Fei said.
"Father, just you wait. I will tell mother in a moment and she will teach you a lesson." Yan Ning Zhi glared at Yan Qiong Fei and unwillingly handed over the array board to Ling Xian. She encouraged, "Young Master, do your best. I believe you can fix this array."
"It's good that someone believes in me." Ling Xian softly grinned. Then, he began to move and landed on top of the square.
Instantly, all gazes were fixated on Ling Xian. After they saw his appearance clearly, they all voiced out their doubts.
"Could it be that this person is Master Xian? He's far too young. "
"Interesting. Is this person toying with the Yan Clan? He looks like he's in his twenties. At most, he is a beginner array master. How dare he say he can fix the Array of Unyielding Emotions? Is he kidding us? "
"Exactly. Why would the Leader believe someone like this? He even called him Master Xian. I think he's the same as those array masters from before. He has no real skills."
At the same time, the array masters revealed looks of disdain. They all looked down on Ling Xian because he was too young.
This was normal. The youngest among them was at least 40 to 50 years old. Naturally, they didn't think a young man could fix an array that even they had no clue about.
To sum it up, other than Yan Ning Zhi and Bai Xiao Qi, nobody here believed Ling Xian!
"I sure want to see how interesting the expressions on everyone's faces will be after I fix this array."
Feeling everyone's questioning gaze, Ling Xian's lips curled up. He didn't argue nor did he use his Qi.
Because using these two methods would not solve the root of the problem. It would only make people think he was guilty and they wouldn't believe him. The best way to retaliate against this matter was to use facts to speak for themselves!
He would slap everyone's faces until they were swollen!
"Come at me. I can't wait for that to happen."
Grinning, Ling Xian sat down in a lotus position and let the array board float before him. Then, he formed a hand seal and began to fix the array.
