Jiang Yi were enemies with the Xie, Wu, Tu and Jian Clans. Not only did these four clans wish to hunt Jiang Yi, but they were also hunting for ‘Bai Yi’. Therefore, within his heart, he and the Nine Thearchs Clans were arch-enemies. Even if he wasn’t going to become enemies with the Yi Clan, the Yi Clan would never let him off once they knew his identity.
Therefore, Jiang Yi would never have any lustful thoughts regarding Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing, despite the fact that both of them were female heavenly prodigies. On the contrary, he used all sorts of ways to not be in a tangle with both of them.
If he wished to not be in a tangle with both of them, he had to make both of them hate him!
Therefore, he toughened up his face to dallied with Yi Chan repeatedly. Yi Chan spat out lightly as a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. She commented coldly, “Young Master Bai Yi can be at ease. Yi Chan would never ask for you to marry into my clan.”
“That will be great, that will be great!”
Jiang Yi nodded his head like a chick pecking on grains. That relieved look of his was extremely infuriating, causing the anger that Yi Chan had just suppressed to rush up to her head again. Who did he think he was? Were all the beauties in this world pestering him to marry them?
Hoo-Hoo!
She puffed out a breath of air faintly, allowing herself to calm down. She paused for a moment and wanted to feel out Jiang Yi and see if there was a possibility of him joining the Yi Clan. Little did she expect, Jiang Yi suddenly spoke, “Young Lady Yi, aren’t you tired of wearing a mask all day? Why not take it down and let me have a look at how you look like? Relax, it’s just pure curiosity. You should also know that I have no interest in women.”
“…”
Yi Chan turned her head around as a trace of indignant flashed within her eyes. This Bai Yi truly had no etiquette and manners. How could he talk like this?
She rolled her eyes and decided to retaliate. She turned back around and spoke with a heavy tone, “Young Master Bai Yi, do you really wish to have a look?”
“Of course. Why?”
Jiang Yi frowned and stared at Yi Chan with doubt. A trace of a smile flashed past Yi Chan’s eyes. “I started wearing a mask when I was 12 years old. Other than my family, no outsider has the qualifications to see my appearance. Previously, I had also sworn that other than my husband, I would never let any man see it. If you are to see my face, you will have to marry me!”
Jiang Yi narrowed his eyes as he waved his hand promptly. “Then I shall not see it, I shall not see it. I don’t wish to marry you! Ouch…”
Jiang Yi had worsened his injuries when he waved his hand. It was so painful to the point that he had to grimace in pain. Originally, Yi Chan was extremely irritated when she heard Jiang Yi’s words. When she saw this, she couldn’t help but laugh and silently think that shameless people would indeed be unrivaled in the world!
A while later, Yi Chan spoke grimly, “Young Master Bai Yi, stop joking. I’m now representing the Yi Clan to invite you. Do you have any interest in joining our Yi Clan? Do not hesitate to name all your terms. I am able to make a decision for them.”
“Here it is…”
Jiang Yi sighed inwardly, but his heart grew even more bewildered. Could it be the Buddha Emperor had failed to see through his Mirage Divine Ability?
His complexion turned solemn as he replied without flinching, “Young Lady Yi, I’m really curious. What’s there for your Yi Clan to be interested in me? Is there any particular reason for it? It is worth it for the Yi Clan to pay such a huge price just to recruit me?”
That palm strike of Buddha Emperor had swept the She Clan’s face. At this moment, She Fei was not in the Buddha Thearch City and had no intention to celebrate the Buddha Thearch’s birthday. This had clearly shown the She Clan’s attitude. It could even be said that the Yi Clan had paid a huge price just to recruit him.
Yi Chan turned silent for a moment before replying, “Young Master Bai, you might have forgotten about what happened in the Purgatory Ruin, but we have recorded it down. You should have grasped onto a kind of very miraculous ability that is able to absorb the astral winds and is even able to release the astral winds to attack the enemy. You are the second genius that was able to grasp this ability in history. Furthermore, you even obtained the ancient artifact. That was the ancient general’s ancient artifact. Its might is undeniably impressive, and you should be quite young, right?
“To be at the third stage of Heaven Monarch Realm, this talent is pretty decent. I guarantee you that within ten years, you would at least achieve the strength of a Five-Star expert under the nurture of Yi Clan’s inexhaustible resources. Of course… there’s also the possibility of breaking through to the Demigod Realm. Thus, it is natural for the Yi Clan to ignore all kinds of cost just to recruit you since you are such an exceptional genius.”
Yi Chan’s words were very blunt and also frank. If it had been some other small clan’s young master, they would have long shed tears of gratitude as they knelt down to vow loyalty to the Yi Clan forever and would serve under Yi Chan.
Jiang Yi would not!
He was used to being free and unconstrained. Never once had he thought of joining any clans. Besides, his real identity wouldn’t allow him to join the Yi Clan. Therefore, he muttered to himself for a moment before replying, “Young Lady Yi, I need some time to consider. How about this, I will give you an answer after Lord Buddha Thearch’s birthday. No matter what, I am very grateful for your Yi Clan! And I owe you a favor, too!”
“Alright!”
Yi Chan nodded her head and stood up. “The Yi Clan would never force anyone and would not plunder your ancient artifact. We would also guarantee your safety in the Buddha Thearch City. You will not suffer from any restrictions after joining the Yi Clan. On the contrary, you would obtain a privilege not lower than a consecrator. This is our Yi Clan’s promise.”
“Thanks!”
Jiang Yi bowed slightly. After that, he blinked his eyes and asked, “Young Lady Yi, if I am to join your Yi Clan, you… will really not force me to marry into your family, right?”
“…”
Yi Chan rolled her eyes and walked out without saying a word.
Jiang Yi grinned. However, his mind was recalling what Yi Chan had just said. Meanwhile, his divine senses swept past his dantian; and very quickly, his body trembled.
“Astral winds? I’m able to absorb the astral wind? Could the energy within my ninth star sphere be astral winds?”
Jiang Yi tried to circulate a strand of energy out and that energy was instantly transformed into the astral wind as it sliced the square table before him into two pieces. He quickly controlled them with his mind, and the astral winds returned to his palm. Ultimately, it turned into formless energy and entered into his ninth star sphere.
“So mystical!”
Jiang Yi was excited to the point that his body had started to tremble slightly. There was no need to elaborate on the might of the astral wind. If he was able to grasp this ability completely, this would become one of his strongest attacks in the future and there was even a possibility of him being able to kill Four-Star or Five-Star experts!
He imagined the astral winds fluttering in the sky which attacked unceasingly. Even an ordinary Demigod Realm expert wouldn’t be able to block it, right? Would Demigod Realm experts dare to fly 30 kilometers high in the sky?
Jiang Yi had no idea. At this moment, it wasn’t the time for him to study this astral wind. After all, this was the Yi Fragrance Pavilion. He could only place this matter aside temporarily until he left the Yi Clan.
That’s right!
Leave the Yi Clan. Though he had promised Yi Chan that he would give her an answer after the Buddha Thearch’s birthday, it was obviously for him to delay in giving her an answer immediately because he would never join any clans.
Buzz!
His ancient divine essence ring brightened up, and a huge stone furnace appeared on his palm. This furnace was as big as a basin, and there was a furnace lid above it. Thus, making it looked like a stone block.
“This is an ancient artifact? What is an ancient artifact?”
Jiang Yi stared at the furnace attentively while his divine senses scanned it. He discovered that his divine senses couldn’t enter inside the furnace, and he could only see a lot of profound patterns on the surface of the stone furnace. He couldn’t understand those patterns completely, but he could sense traces of formidable, ancient, and great aura presence from them.
“Smelting Divine Furnace?”
Jiang Yi discovered that there were three big crooked words at the bottom of the furnace, and he was also able to sense a majestic and profound aura from the three words. This furnace was certainly extraordinary and was definitely stronger than the pseudo-divine artifact by a grade.
Shh-shh-shh!
He muttered to himself for a few moments before a series of footsteps could be heard resonating from the outside. Following this, a maidservant reported. “Young Master Bai Yi, Young Lady Yin requests to meet you.”
