“Ji Ruyue?” The Void Temple Master frowned, his gaze drifting thoughtfully towards the location of Tian Gong. His eyes narrowed slightly.
In just a moment, he had already grasped some of the implications.
He let out a cold snort and said, “Ouyang Chen is only interested in Miss Ji Xinyi, he naturally has no interest in Fairy Ji Ruyue. However, even so, this Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable is being unreasonable by outright driving away my young hall master from the Void Temple. Is he really that dismissive of my Void Temple? Who gave him the audacity? Thunder God Sect, hum, does he not fear the destruction of his sect?”
The Void Temple is a top-tier heavenly venerable force, while the Thunder God Sect is merely an ordinary heavenly venerable force. If he doesn't demand an explanation, wouldn’t he just be laughed at by others?
At this moment, the Master of the Great Cosmic Mountain also stood up, smiling as he clasped his hands together and said, “Void Temple Master, you know Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable's temperament. Earlier, his Thunder God Sect just lost a young prodigy, so Mad Thunder's temper has been a bit volatile and reckless. As a friend, allow me to apologize on behalf of Mad Thunder. I hope the Void Temple Master will be magnanimous and not hold it against him.”
“Void Temple Master, your position is noble. Why must you go toe to toe with Mad Thunder? Just give this palace a bit of face,” said the Star God Palace Master, smiling.
With both top heavenly venerable forces’ leaders personally pleading, the expression of the Void Temple Master shifted slightly. He coldly snorted and said, “Hum, since the Star God Palace Master and the Master of the Great Cosmic Mountain are speaking up for that Mad Thunder, I shall let it go this time. However, if there is a next time, don’t blame my Void Temple for being impolite.”
After saying this, the Void Temple Master took Ouyang Chen back to his seat.
Ji Tianyao's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, “What do you mean by this?”
The Star God Palace Master smiled slightly and said, “Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable, you may explain this matter yourself.”
Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable nodded immediately and clasped his hands, saying, “Ancestor Ji Tianyao, although it's a bit difficult to say, for the happiness of my sect, I will speak frankly. This time, during the martial arts competition to choose a spouse, my sect has taken a fancy to Fairy Ji Ruyue from the Ji family. I am infatuated with her, hence I came to challenge on stage. I hope Ancestor Ji Tianyao will uphold justice.”
Ji Tianyao's face darkened, and he said sternly, “Nonsense.”
The other elders of the Ji family also changed color, and even Ji Tianqi looked shocked and angry.
The Master of the Thunder God Sect was a long-established powerhouse of the same generation, yet he chose to participate in the Ji family's martial arts competition for young people. If this were to spread, the Ji family would undoubtedly become the laughingstock among the ten thousand clans.
“Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable, please retreat immediately!” Ji Tianyao said coldly.
He was truly furious.
“Eh, Ancestor Ji Tianyao, what do you mean by this?” At that moment, the Star God Palace Master stepped forward with a cold smile, “You Ji family are holding a martial arts competition to choose a spouse, and that is a public announcement to all major forces of the human race. Although Mad Thunder is a bit older, he has never married in his lifetime and is currently single. It is not inappropriate for him to come and participate in the competition, is it?”
“Exactly,” the Master of the Great Cosmic Mountain smiled and said, “Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable is a heavenly venerable expert, and he is also the Master of the Thunder God Sect. I actually think highly of the possibility of him and Fairy Ji Ruyue forming a union. What reason does Ancestor Ji Tianyao have to refuse? Or are you saying that the so-called martial arts competition to choose a spouse is just a joke to us?”
