e is..."He had just said this when Ye Bufan suddenly felt a sense of foreboding, just like last time at the Dong family."Damn it, another sniper."He wanted to protect his grandson, Sheng, but unfortun...Although Luo Yudi knew that smiling wasn't appropriate at this time, she couldn't help but laugh.

She lived in a world where age and social standing were strictly observed, and even daily conversations were quite rigid.

I've never seen anyone argue like Ye Bufan. He just said the other person was his grandchild in one sentence.

Tuoba Yang was even more furious, his eyes blazing. He was the esteemed eldest prince, and this person dared to take advantage of him verbally!

Ye Bufan remained composed, unfazed by these events.

From the moment he chose not to flee, he was destined to be an enemy of this Crown Prince. Even kneeling would be useless, it would be more satisfying to take some advantage.

Moreover, his enemies are already numerous enough, so adding one more won't make much difference.

Tuoba Yang's expression was frighteningly grim: "Boy, you dare to disrespect this king You're looking for death!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Bring him to me!"

At the command, a squad of guards immediately burst in from outside and surrounded Ye Bufan.

"Wait a moment." Ye Bufan waved his hand and then looked at him, saying, "Have you thought it through Are you really going to do this!"

Tuoba Yang's expression darkened: "Anyone who dares to disrespect this prince deserves to be cut into a thousand pieces. Is there anything else to say"

"I have no respect for you, why should I show you respect"

Ye Bufan said, "You are the prince of the Daxing Empire, and I am a subject of the Tianfeng Empire. Why should I respect you"

As for identity, I am a participant in this newcomer ranking match, the captain leading the Tianfeng Empire team, and also the dean of our Shumu University.

By comparison, my status is no lower than yours. Why should I show you respect

His words are not without merit. After spending so much time here, he has also figured out the principle of identity division on the Kunlun Continent.

Here, the status of cultivators is extremely high, and the royal family isn't as lofty and superior as depicted in Earth's movies and TV shows.

For example, the players in a newcomer's ranking match already hold a very high status. They represent the empires behind them, and in terms of identity, they would certainly not be much lower than Tuo Ba Yang. At least, that's how it appears in public etiquette.

"You..."

The Great Xing Empire was the most powerful empire, and Tuo Ba Yang was the eldest prince. He was used to being above others, but now facing Ye Bufan's questioning, he had nothing to say.

"The First Prince wants to engrave words on my tombstone as soon as he enters. I wonder if this is a sign of disrespect for the competitors in the Newcomer Ranking Tournament, or are you looking down on the Tianfeng Empire"

Or could this be the grand hospitality of the Daxing Empire Wouldn't it be a source of ridicule for all under heaven if it were spread abroad

"If that is the case, then Prince Eldest may as well order my capture. Ye will meet no resistance from me."

"This…"

As the most powerful contender for the position of crown prince, Tuoba Yang was by no means a fool. After Ye Bufan's words, he immediately calmed down.

The other party's identity is special now, representing both the Sky Peak Empire and the newcomer ranking tournament team.

If one were to truly harm such a person, the news would undoubtedly have a devastating impact on the reputation of the Daxing Empire.

By then, don't blame others; even his own father, Tuo Ba Hongyi, wouldn't let him off the hook. The Empress and the second prince, and others, would definitely not miss this chance to attack him.

By this point, he understood. The man before him was completely immobilized at the moment. Otherwise, forget about ascending to the throne of the prince, even his current position might be in jeopardy.

"Kid, you better watch out."

Tuobaye Yang let out a cold snort and turned to walk out of the room.

The master and mistress had left, so the guards naturally couldn't stay any longer and all withdrew. Soon, only Ye Bufan and a few others remained in the room.

Luo Yudie was dumbfounded. She had thought that things couldn't end well today and was even going to ask her grandfather to help mediate, but she never expected Ye Bufan to resolve it with just a few words.

"Coward!"

Next to her, Xiao Qing looked disappointed. The monster was eager for a fight, expecting a good brawl, but it ended up like this instead.

She rolled her eyes and then went back to playing her video game.

Luo Yudie came to her senses and said apologetically, "Little brother, I'm sorry. I didn't expect things to get so serious."

She was also impulsive just now, wanting to use Ye Bufan to get rid of Tuo Ba Yang's trouble. Looking back, this decision was rather rash.

"It's nothing, this is insignificant. I have plenty of enemies already, one more doesn't matter."

Ye Bufan didn't really think much of it. Luo Yudie had helped him so much, it was only right to help her out in return.

The two chatted for a while longer, agreeing to deliver their battle robes to the station early the next morning. He then left with Xiaoqing.

In the Grand Prince's Mansion, Tuoba Yang sat in the main seat, his expression extremely gloomy, clearly still angry.

Beside him sat a court lady in her twenties, with a beautiful face. However, beneath the beauty, there was an air of arrogance.

This woman is none other than Princess Tubo Shuang of the Daxing Empire, a rare martial arts prodigy. She has reached the peak of the Refining Void realm before the age of twenty.

Facing the siblings stood a middle-aged man in a guard's uniform, Yu Wen Shu, the captain of guards from the crown prince's manor.

After Tuoba Shuang understood the whole story, she suddenly jumped up from her chair: "Big brother, that guy ate a lion's heart and gall, he actually stole your woman!"

"I'm going to kill him right now. When the Emperor comes looking for answers, just throw me under the bus. I have nothing to fear anyway."

As she was about to rush out the door, she was stopped by Yuwen Shu.

"Your Highness, please don't be impulsive. Whatever the case, Ye Bufan represents the Tianfeng Empire. Killing him now will have very serious consequences."

Tuoba Shuang said nonchalantly, "What's so serious about that Kill if you will. If there's anything, just come to me."

"Alright, Shuang'er, we need to think this through carefully. This matter can't be handled hastily."

Tuo Bajiang called Tuo Baishuang back. He was very clear that this matter started because of him, no matter who made the move, he would be implicated in the end.

Tuoba Shuang pursed her lips but didn't insist any further, and sat back down again.

Tuobaye looked at Yuwen Shu: "I asked you to investigate that boy, have you found out anything"

"I've figured it out."

"Yuwen Shuo recounted all the information he had found, and finally said, 'That kid is truly arrogant. Before even arriving at the imperial capital of Daxing Empire, he has already provoked the Zheng family of Lingxiao Academy.'"

Even if the prince doesn't make a move, Lingxiao Academy won't let that guy off the hook.

"I, Tuo Ba Yang, always settle my scores myself. I wouldn't need to rely on anyone else for this newcomer ranking tournament."

"Since he's here to compete, it's easy. I'll just defeat him personally on the platform, and then no one will be able to say anything."

Tuoba Yang's face contorted with a fierce expression. "That's best," he sneered, "I'll beat him first on the stage."

I'll wait until the competition is over before I capture him and make him wish he were dead but couldn't die. Let him know what happens when he messes with Tuo Ba Yang!s indeed a powerful technique, but he didn't take it to heart.Whether he used his spiritual sense blade or unleashed power comparable to a nascent Mahayana cultivator, he could defeat his opponents wi...
