Chapter 1821: The Greatest Traitor of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion
Chapter 1821: The Greatest Traitor of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion
Lu Yunting spoke up: "Sect Master, I didn’t expect you to come personally!"
"How could I not come for such a significant matter? Moreover, I wouldn’t miss the chance to witness Ye Chenfu’s son!"
A voice came from somewhere in the private room.
Lu Yunting couldn’t help but straighten his chest: "Sect Master, with Ye Chenfeng’s aptitude and strength, he can only barely rank in the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, right?"
There was no reply for a long while, and Lu Yunting couldn’t help but say: "Sect Master, is Ye Chenfu really that terrifying? Not only you, but even other Sect Masters in the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion are extremely wary."
"That’s because you haven’t experienced it, so you don’t understand. Take the Dragon Ranking for example; do you know why there’s not a single person from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion on it?"
The person suddenly asked.
Lu Yunting’s eyes gleamed as he thought of something and couldn’t help saying: "Is it true that the Dragon Ranking is issued by the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion and not the Heaven Group?"
"That’s right, exactly. Ye Chenfu was ranked second on the Dragon Ranking, but at that time, most of us thought he should be ranked first because after our thorough investigation and analysis, we found that Ye Chenfu’s strength was no different from Feng Wuqing."
Lu Yunting asked doubtfully: "Then why was Feng Wuqing still first on the Dragon Ranking?"
"Because just then, Feng Wuqing single-handedly suppressed the Capital City’s dark age, so his first place remained unchanged, and naturally, Ye Chenfu was second."
Lu Yunting’s eyes revealed a hint of contemplation, and he gasped for breath: "It turns out Ye Chenfu is this strong? From what we currently understand, Feng Wuqing is the strongest in the entire Divine Land! Ye Chenfu has reached this level at such a young age; it’s truly shocking!"
"Hehe, Feng Wuqing is certainly the War God of Divine Land, but not necessarily the first in Divine Land."
A rebuffing voice came, leaving Lu Yunting stunned.
"What do you mean, Sect Master?"
Lu Yunting asked in confusion.
"Because our Heavenly Secrets Pavilion once had a peerless talent. I believe his cultivation now definitely is on par with Feng Wuqing. He may have even reached the legendary Human Immortal Realm!"
Lu Yunting was delighted: "Sect Master, who is this senior?"
"Sadly, he has defected from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, becoming the greatest traitor in the pavilion’s history! We currently have no news of him."
"The greatest traitor of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion?"
Lu Yunting muttered to himself.
"Alright, don’t underestimate Ye Chenfeng. He’s not as simple as you think. Now leave!"
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Lu Yunting left the private room, but he had a displeased expression, clearly not taking Ye Chenfeng seriously.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh..."
Just as Lu Yunting left, several Sword Qi suddenly shot out inside the private room, leaving marks on the walls.
"Huh? He actually discovered me. Truly unexpected."
...
Ye Chenfeng, secretly leaving the charity event, muttered to himself: "I didn’t expect there was someone else at the event, but I can’t pinpoint his exact location; it seems he must be from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion."
Tonight, Ye Chenfeng did something earth-shattering, causing a sensation in the whole of North China, even the entire Divine Land.
But he couldn’t find joy in it because the charity event opened up a new world, leaving him repeatedly shocked.
"However, the higher the level of interaction, the closer I get to the truth."
Ye Chenfeng thought briefly and felt much more relaxed.
The next day.
Ye Chenfeng received an invitation from Lan Yuesheng and Hu Lan.
Upon arriving at the apartment, just as Ye Chenfeng expected, Wang Mingkun was waiting for him.
Of course, alongside him were Lan Yahui’s parents, Lan Jinsong and Mu Shaolan.
"Mr. Ye, let’s not beat around the bush. I want to buy the ancient scroll in your possession. Name a price that I can afford."
Wang Mingkun got straight to the point.
Lan Jinsong and Mu Shaolan chimed in from beside him: "Yes, little Ye, this item is of no use in your hands. Sell it to the professor, and not only can you become a wealthy man, but also contribute to archaeology."
Ye Chenfeng smiled and said: "Alright, no problem. Besides the ancient scroll, I have something else that will definitely interest you."
Wang Mingkun breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and said: "This kid, Ming, is just talking nonsense. How could it be that difficult? He’s selling it now, isn’t he?"
"What thing?"
Lan Jinsong asked curiously, even Lan Yuesheng and Hu Lan perked up their ears.
"Back-pushing Pictures! The real Back-pushing Pictures!"
Ye Chenfeng said.
"What? Back-pushing Pictures?" Wang Mingkun was first stunned, then asked: "Are you serious?"
Ye Chenfeng smiled brightly: "Speaking of the ancient scroll, would I lie?"
Wang Mingkun nodded: "Then name a price, I’ll buy them all."
"Forget it; I’m afraid you can’t afford it. Or rather, there are very few people in the Capital City who could afford it."
Ye Chenfeng shook his head.
Wang Mingkun was anxious: "Mr. Ye, name your price. I don’t believe I can’t afford it."
Lan Jinsong supported him: "Little Ye, to be honest, the professor has actually prepared five to six million for it, and with the Back-pushing Pictures, I reckon it could be seven to eight million."
"Professor Wang, we’ve finally found you!"
At that moment, several people came from outside.
Wang Mingkun impatiently glanced at them: "What’s up? Can’t you see I’m busy?"
The lead middle-aged man couldn’t help but say: "Professor Wang, did you hear what happened last night?"
Wang Mingkun nodded: "I know, President Cheng hosted the charity event."
"Yes, but something big happened last night."
The middle-aged man looked excited.
Wang Mingkun glared at him fiercely: "What happened? Hurry up and say it!"
"A donation of 130 billion was made at the charity event last night!"
"130 billion? A big figure must have intervened, right? That project can finally proceed!"
Wang Mingkun nodded in astonishment, his eyes shining with excitement.
The middle-aged man continued: "But, Professor Wang, do you know? It’s all in cash!"
"What? 130 billion in cash?"
His words shocked everyone; every eye turned wide, filled with disbelief.
"Yes, last night the whole of North China went crazy, with major banks working overnight."
The middle-aged man enthusiastically detailed it as if it were the most terrifying event in the world.
Of course, for ordinary people, it was absolutely the most thrilling affair.
"This..."
Everyone’s eyes almost popped out; it was absolutely astonishing.
"Haha, Old Lan, you should join me. This project is too well-funded, unprecedented! We’ll become legends in the archaeological field, a project that will be a major impact on humanity."
Wang Mingkun also expressed his excitement.
"Come on, Old Lan. Maybe we’ll even get to meet this tycoon; 130 billion in cash, is he the richest person in Divine Land?"
The middle-aged man continued: "That’s why those upstairs asked me to invite you back, Professor Wang, to start work immediately."
Wang Mingkun nodded, then turned his gaze to Ye Chenfeng: "Mr. Ye, have you thought it over?"
The several people around the middle-aged man followed Wang Mingkun’s gaze to look at Ye Chenfeng...
"Mr. Ye?"
But upon seeing Ye Chenfeng, the expressions of the group changed dramatically.
"Yes, it’s Mr. Ye. I’m about to purchase two ancient artifacts from Mr. Ye!"
Wang Mingkun said proudly, clearly more confident.
But the middle-aged man and the group didn’t pay him any attention, staring at Ye Chenfeng, muttering to themselves: "Mr. Ye, it’s really Mr. Ye!"
