Chapter 535

The scimitar, dripping with blood, was once again placed on Madam Tian's beautiful neck. The frivolous smile on Ye Xiaotian's face gradually disappeared, and he became very cold. He swept his cold gaze across the crowd and slowly moved his mouth to Madam Tian's small and exquisite earlobe.

"Either you die first! Or you agree to my conditions! Madam Tian, you decide! "As he said this, Ye Xiaotian tightened his grip on the scimitar.

Madam Tian was so angry that her whole body was trembling. She had always thought highly of herself, and after marrying, her status became even more noble. She had never suffered such humiliation. But what could she do when she met such a person? The King of Qin looked down on the six states and conquered the world. Even when he met Lin Xiangru, he could not do anything to him.

Madam Tian bit her lower lip tightly, and her full chest heaved up and down a few times to suppress her anger. "Fine! I promise you, today's matter is over, and I will let it go! I will not make trouble for you after this! "

"Haha, you see, isn't this very good? Everyone is in a good mood …" Ye Xiaotian's eyes were frighteningly fierce just a moment ago, looking like a bloodthirsty lone wolf. In just a moment, he was smiling amiably, as if he was blessed by the heavens.

He very happily moved the scimitar away and said to Madam Tian, "I believe that with Madam's status, a promise is more valuable than a leg!" Just now, Ye Xiaotian had taken Madam Tian hostage. He was afraid that her bodyguards would make a move, so he was so focused that he did not hear Madam Tian's true identity.

But Madam Tian obviously did not think so. She thought that Ye Xiaotian already knew her identity, but he was still so calm. She secretly admired him. "He is really willing to sacrifice himself to pull the Emperor down from his horse. If a person is not afraid of death, nothing can scare him. "

Madam Tian coldly stared at him, but really did not let anyone do anything. The two middle-aged scholars came to her. Seeing the blood on her leg, they were somewhat at a loss and said, "Madam, this …"

The two of them wanted to bandage her wound, but how could they casually touch Madam's thigh? Madam Tian's temper was fierce, but she did not give in to men. Facing the dark red blood on her thigh and the bone-piercing pain, she did not care at all. Just like that, she walked toward Kunlun Garden, blood dripping on the ground.

"Quick! Help Madam Tian bandage her wound and use the best medicine. " The An residence's ushers had already appeared before Madam Tian and led her into the depths of the manor.

Ye Xiaotian twirled the knife a few times, but his skills were limited, and he wasn't skilled enough. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the knife, then sheathed it back at his waist. "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a man hit a woman? If a woman insists on being a man, or even more manly than a man, and does not allow others to see her as a man, is fair? "

"Madam is is is. is Madam!! Madam Tian! Madam Tian's principle. with is is. is, Madam Madam Tian!" "I only care about right and wrong. I don't care about identity, gender, or status!"

As Ye Xiaotian said that, he made his way to the entrance of the An estate.

He actually did not flee. He was actually bold enough to enter.

With how things had developed, Ye Xiaotian had no other choice. He had always been a reckless person, but now that he had been forced into a corner, he could no longer act like a refined gentleman. As such, he might as well show his true colors as a hooligan.

No matter what, if he wanted to leave a deep impression on others, he had to be unique. If he was too mediocre and could not be relied on, he would just fade into the crowd. He would not be able to leave a deep impression on others.

Ye Xiaotian arrived at the entrance. The usher had already heard him introduce himself, but he still went up to him with a smile. He said politely, "Sir, this is the first time I've seen you. May I ask where your invitation is?"

Ye Xiaotian stretched out his hand to the side. Li Dazhuang, who had just slipped to the side like a yellow flower fish, had unknowingly reappeared by his side like a ghost. He immediately handed over the golden invitation card to Ye Xiaotian.

The usher accepted the invitation from Ye Xiaotian's hand and looked at it carefully before moving to the side with a smile. The bloody scene had just happened in front of the An estate, but the usher acted like it had never happened at all.

He was a member of the An family. If there was no need, there was no reason for him to offend other chieftain clans, even if he was a beggar. Moreover, the man before him was the only person in the past century who had been appointed as a hereditary chieftain.

Every chieftain first possessed territory, people, and an army. Only then would the imperial court appoint them as a chieftain for the sake of recruiting them. Over the millennia, the original territory had already been divided up. It was obviously almost impossible for a new chieftain to appear in the territory controlled by these long-established factions.

Moreover, not all of the current chieftains were hereditary, even though in reality, they were all hereditary. These words were a bit confusing, but to put it clearly, it was: some of the more powerful chieftains, or chieftains who declared their allegiance as soon as the Zhu Ming dynasty was established, the imperial court's edict clearly stated that their position was hereditary.

The second was when the son reported to the imperial court after the father's death. The imperial court would similarly allow him to continue his father's position, but the edict only stated that he would inherit the position of chieftain, not having the word hereditary. Most of Guizhou's more than a hundred chieftains of varying sizes didn't have the word hereditary, even though as long as they reported it, it would definitely be approved.

When Yongle Emperor Fourth Grandpa Zhu approved a chieftain's eldest son to inherit his father's position, this was what he said to the ministers: "I'll allow him to do it, but it won't be hereditary. If he doesn't abide by the law, I will replace him."

The reason the imperial court did this was to leave themselves some leeway. Once there was a chance, they could use 'not abide by the law' or 'not hereditary' as reasons to change these chieftains who didn't have hereditary rules.

Why was it that no matter how intense the battles between the chieftains were, even if they were fighting to the death, as long as the imperial court suddenly expressed interest, wishing to play the role of peacemaker, the chieftains would immediately act as if they were facing a great enemy. Even the one who suffered a loss would have their teeth knocked out and blood swallowed, covering it up, not willing to let the imperial court know? The reason was precisely this.

Ye Xiaotian was a chieftain, a chieftain whose position was clearly stated on the edict to be hereditary. His current territory wasn't large, nor was his influence great, but the word 'hereditary' clearly stated that his position in the imperial court's eyes was different from most other chieftains.

Meanwhile, this might very well become an important factor in the expansion of Crouching Bull Mountain's chieftains. The reason why the chieftains were on guard against the imperial court was because this colossus posed a great threat to their survival. At the same time, they needed to obtain the nutrients of survival from this colossus. This was an extremely wondrous circle of life.

Therefore, the usher didn't want to offend him. Who knew what kind of development he would have in the future? Most of the guests watching Ye Xiaotian walk into the manor didn't think this way. In their eyes, Ye Xiaotian was already a dead man.

However, in the eyes of the usher of the An manor, as long as Ye Xiaotian didn't die for a moment, he still had a chance to grow. They couldn't treat this person as a dead man.

The scenery of the Kunlun Garden in the An manor was supposed to be very beautiful. Even though the entire view couldn't be seen at night, there were pretty maids carrying lanterns, like flowing water at first glance. There were colorful lanterns hanging high and scholars roaming about. It made one feel as if they were in a fantasy novel where the fox immortals gathered at the Lonely Mountain Mansion.

At this moment, quite a few people in the manor already knew about what had happened outside. As soon as Ye Xiaotian walked in, they understood that he was the one who had offended Yang Yinglong's third wife, Tian Xiufeng. This was because the other guests who had followed him in all avoided him like the plague.

Ye Xiaotian looked around and saw people either standing or sitting by the side of the fake mountains, beside the green lotus pond, in the bamboo forest, and under the winding corridors. Most of them were looking at him with rather strange gazes. He couldn't help but smile at Li Qiuchi. "Not bad. I've only just entered and I've already made a name for myself. Tomorrow in Guiyang City, there will probably be no one who doesn't know of you."

Li Qiuchi laughed dryly. "Sir's courage is indeed admirable. You stabbed Yang Yinglong's third wife just like that, and in front of so many people at that. Who would dare not admire you, sir? "

Ye Xiaotian was shocked. "Yang Yinglong's third wife? Who? Where is she? "

Li Qiuchi was also stunned. He stared blankly at Ye Xiaotian. "Just now … that Tian Xiufeng stabbed by you, sir, is … is Yang Yinglong's third wife!"

"Ah?" This time it was Ye Xiaotian's turn to be stunned. Li Qiuchi then realized that this master simply didn't hear the exclamations from the crowd. Ye Xiaotian said, "Yang Yinglong's third wife? How can she just show her face in public and attend tonight's gathering? "

Li Qiuchi said, "This … this student doesn't really understand. Although this student has lived in Guiyang for a long time, knows some people, knows some rich and powerful family affairs, but regarding the affairs of other people's women, it is really inconvenient for me to inquire. "

"Hehe, heaven's secrets can't be revealed too much. If fate allows it, this poor Taoist will divine for you again."

There was a small bridge on the water, and a Daoist priest with a sage-like and graceful gait walked over slowly, surrounded by a few rich and powerful disciples. He had a reserved look on his face, but his tone was very cold. It was obvious that he had no interest in fortune-telling for people to earn money for divination.

He raised his head and suddenly saw Ye Xiaotian standing under the light. The Taoist jumped in fright and hurriedly turned around, wanting to slip away.

"Hi! Taoist Chang Feng, so it's you. Come here, come here! "

Ye Xiaotian's eyes were sharp. He saw that it was Taoist Chang Feng and immediately called out to him.

Taoist Chang Feng cursed in his heart. He quickly turned his head and put on a pleasantly surprised expression. He strode over and said, "Ah? Aiya! It's actually Sir Ye. Aiyaya, I really didn't expect to meet Sir Ye here. Long time no see, long time no see … "

Taoist Chang Feng repeatedly cupped his hands towards Ye Xiaotian. The noblemen accompanying him looked at each other in dismay.

This Taoist Chang Feng was said to have cultivated in the depths of Mao Mountain for three hundred years. He was a living immortal who left the mountain to travel. His cultivation was extremely profound. The riches and power of the mortal world were worthless in his eyes.

Even the Third Madam of the Yang Clan in Bozhou, Tian Xiufeng, who held the real power in the household affairs, treated this living Immortal as if he was a deity when she came to Guiyang and paid a visit to this living Immortal, respectfully performing the etiquette of a disciple. Who was this young man?

What was even more incomprehensible was that Taoist Chang Feng, who had always been detached from worldly affairs, was actually bowing to him and smiling apologetically. Who … who was this person?
