C1941 I Can't Get Rid of It
After the banquet began, the two left the pavilion and returned to the courtyard where the banquet was held.
There was almost no difference between the banquet and the banquet. Ye Hongtian stood outside the door of the room while Jiong Yuan was dining with his father.
The only difference was that there were some changes in the people in the room. There were also two women who looked similar to Jiong Yuan. They seemed to be discussing Jiong Yuan's marriage.
When the banquet ended, the two women and the minister who came with the two women looked depressed. It was obvious that Jiong Yuan and his father were not satisfied with the two women.
Jiong Yuan and his father walked out of the room side by side. After chatting for a while, they separated.
"Let's go. We can go see Fourth Elder. You have to be careful tonight's operation." Jiong Yuan walked to Ye Hongtian's side and said softly.
"Yes!"
Ye Hongtian answered without saying anything. He had made a lot of preparations for tonight. As long as he knew where Fourth Elder lived, he could find an opportunity to assassinate Fourth Elder at any time, which meant he had the initiative.
In the garden in which the Fourth Elder presented his treasures to the Fourth Elder at noon, he stood there with his hands clasped behind his back.
When Jiong Yuan brought Ye Hongtian into the garden, this scene would be exactly the same as when they came at noon. However, two of the clan's ministers were missing.
"Fourth Elder, you've been waiting for a long time. I'm really sorry." Jiong Yuan said to Fourth Elder with an apologetic smile.
Fourth Elder looked flattered upon hearing this. He cupped his fists and bowed. "First Young Master, you are too kind. It is my duty to wait here first!"
"Fourth Elder is indeed a man of great success. In order to ensure that the jade bottle can be safely sent to Fourth Elder's residence, let my attendant follow you."
After saying that, Jiong Yuan moved to the side and revealed Ye Hongtian, who was holding a treasure box behind him.
The treasure box was the same one that he had taken out earlier. The jade bottle that he was going to give out was inside, but the treasure box had excellent perception isolation abilities. Therefore, Fourth Elder had to open it to confirm it.
After Fourth Elder opened the treasure chest, he took out the jade bottle that was lying inside. He rubbed the beauty carved on the jade bottle with his hand and his face flushed.
Ye Hongtian and Jiong Yuan saw Fourth Elder's actions and expression. They felt that their eyes had been hurt for some unknown reason.
"Haha, it seems Fourth Elder really likes the treasure I gave him. Then I am relieved. I hope Fourth Elder will be safe when he returns to his residence."
Jiong Yuan really did not want to see Fourth Elder again. After saying this, he turned around and left.
Only Ye Hongtian and Fourth Elder were left in the garden. Facing Fourth Elder who was having an affair with the bottle, a drop of cold sweat rolled down Ye Hongtian's forehead.
He wanted to urge the Fourth Elder to return to his residence, but he was a servant now. He could only watch the Fourth Elder smile at the bottle for fifteen minutes.
After a quarter of an hour, the Fourth Elder came back to his senses and realized that it was indeed late. He glanced at Ye Hongtian and acted like he was in a superior position.
"I don't know if you can protect the bottle like this. I will personally take the bottle. You just need to send the treasure chest to my residence and you can leave." Fourth Elder looked at Ye Hongtian with contempt and said.
"Yes!" Ye Hongtian answered expressionlessly. However, in his heart, he was not as calm as he appeared to be.
"This damn fatty! He clearly wanted to continue playing with his bottle on the way back, yet he insisted on saying it as if he was afraid that I would do something bad. I really wish I could kill him now!"
These words would probably make Fourth Elder furious in an instant. Ye Hong Tian was also thinking about it in his heart. However, when they arrived at Fourth Elder's residence, Ye Hong Tian would not take these words to heart.
In Fourth Elder's opinion, Ye Hongtian was a servant of Jiong Yuan. Plus, Ye Hongtian's acting was perfect. Therefore, Fourth Elder didn't doubt Jiong Yuan's request to let Ye Hongtian deliver the treasure to the residence.
Perhaps it was because Ye Hongtian's cultivation was only at the fourth level of the Awakening Realm, but the Fourth Elder only used the normal speed of a fifth level Awakening Realm martial artist to keep up with Ye Hongtian.
If Ye Hongtian was a normal fourth level Awakening Realm martial artist, in order to keep up with the Fourth Elder, he had to move at full speed to keep up with the Fourth Elder. Therefore, although the Fourth Elder slowed down, he was deliberately making things difficult for Ye Hongtian.
Unfortunately, Ye Hong Tian was not an ordinary fourth level Awakened martial artist. His strength was also difficult to encounter a match among peak Awakened martial artists. Following the Fourth Elder's current speed which was equivalent to a fifth level Awakened martial artist was naturally easy.
The Fourth Elder also noticed this situation after moving for a distance. He was somewhat surprised by Ye Hongtian's speed that exceeded his own cultivation. Then, he remembered that Ye Hongtian was Jiong Yuan's attendant and felt relieved.2
However, this didn't mean that he wouldn't continue to make things difficult for Ye Hong Tian. He was a semi-sage expert. So, he didn't have much fun in his daily life. So, it was one of the few times that he enjoyed seeing a servant's painful expression.
The Fourth Elder's face brimmed with an evil smile when he recalled that Ye Hongtian had collapsed to the ground after he had used all his strength to catch up with him. He had collapsed to the ground after he had arrived at his destination.
However, he was shocked to find that Ye Hong Tian had been able to keep up with him in a calm manner no matter how he had increased his speed.
He couldn't even shake off a martial artist of the fourth level of the Awakening Realm. This made the Fourth Elder, who was a semi-sage expert, feel a trace of anger. The Fourth Elder had unknowingly increased his speed to a speed that an ordinary expert of the ninth level of the Awakening Realm wouldn't be able to achieve.
With this kind of speed, they should have been able to reach their destination very soon. However, in order to shake off Ye Hong Tian once, the Fourth Elder deliberately bypassed his residence and circled the entire Sky Fire City once.
Because Ye Hong Tian had a mutated dantian, the purity and recovery speed of his true essence was extremely terrifying. Using true essence to fly in the air could basically be said to have no consumption.
The Fourth Elder was a semi-sage expert. However, his Real Elemental Energy recovery speed couldn't be compared to the consumption speed because of the continuous acceleration of flying. He hadn't gotten rid of Ye Hong Tian in the end. Instead, the Fourth Elder fell to the ground and gasped for breath due to exhaustion.
"Huff ~ 'What's going on? ' Just what are you... Huff ~ What monster? What kind of flying magic treasure did Jiong Yuan give you... Huff ~ special magic treasure? " The Fourth Elder asked Ye Hongtian while leaning against the wall.
"Fourth Elder, please stop messing around."
Ye Hongtian remained expressionless in the face of the Fourth Elder's question. He was the servant of the First Young Master of the Sky Fire Family, Jiong Yuan, so he could be a little tough when he spoke.
Of course, as an elder of the family, Fourth Elder would definitely be unhappy when he heard a servant speak to him in such a way. However, although he was angry, Ye Hongtian was the attendant who could attend the banquet with Jiong Yuan. Therefore, Fourth Elder could not attack Ye Hongtian.
