Chapter 209: An Adoptive Father Helps You With a Match

This scene stunned everyone, including all the sect leaders and clan leaders, who were all left speechless. The whole venue suddenly fell silent. Who would have thought that the usually proud Mystic Hand Pill Lord, who avoided any connection with the major forces, would publicly become sworn brothers with a young man of innate realm today?

“Wh-what is happening?”

“The Mystic Hand Pill Lord and Yun Yi have become sworn brothers. Oh my, this is a major event! But why does Yun Yi deserve this? Is it just because of his extraordinary Alchemical Technique?”

“There must be something more to it. Who is Qiao Shaoshan? He dislikes getting involved in the conflicts between powerful groups the most. Today, he took the initiative to bond with a disciple of the Yanwu family. I really don’t understand what charm Yun Yi possesses.”

“Qiao Shaoshan uses this method to protect Yun Yi. Now, if powerful groups want to harm Yun Yi, they have to think twice. Qiao Shaoshan’s influence is immense, and Peace Villa is very wealthy and strong. No one wants to provoke them.”

……

Everyone was shocked. Such a scene was something people could only dream of. But while they were astonished, all the gazes on Yun Yi were filled with envy and jealousy. How could a young boy from the innate realm deserve such protection from Qiao Shaoshan?

Even Xiao Nanshan and Xiao Ruoshui were stunned, especially Xiao Ruoshui and Duan Tianye. Earlier at the auction, Leng Ji had given up a huge fortune, saying that Yun Yi had a great debt of gratitude to Peace Villa. They were a bit skeptical before, but now that Qiao Shaoshan personally came forward to form a brotherly bond with Yun Yi, Xiao Ruoshui and Duan Tianye finally realized that Yun Yi must have done something significant to earn such great favor from Qiao Shaoshan.

Regardless, the bond between Qiao Shaoshan and Yun Yi filled Xiao Nanshan and the Yanwu family members with excitement. This meant that today, the powerful groups could no longer confront Yun Yi in front of Qiao Shaoshan. Furthermore, from now on, the Yanwu family and Peace Villa had built a friendship.

Xiao Nanshan and the Grand Elder looked at Yun Yi with admiration. A young boy from the innate realm had accomplished what others could not. Just based on this, Yun Yi had every reason to be proud. Xiao Nanshan was more determined than ever to protect Yun Yi. Such a rare talent would be a great loss for the Yanwu family if they did not seize this opportunity.

The faces of Gu Tianyuan and the others turned extremely ugly. Qiao Shaoshan’s sudden appearance exceeded their expectations and put them in a difficult position.

“Damn it, how did this guy get close to Qiao Shaoshan, and why does Qiao Shaoshan value him so much?”

Gu Tianyuan said with great frustration.

“Dad, I did not expect this situation either, but the more it is like this, the more Yun Yi must quickly get rid of him. This guy not only has extraordinary talent and excellent Alchemical Technique, but now he has also gotten close to Qiao Shaoshan. If we do not eliminate him, he will surely become a big problem in the future.”

Gou Zheng said.

“But, since Qiao Shaoshan protects him so much, it is no longer appropriate for us to act. There is no need to cause trouble over a boy and Qiao Shaoshan. Besides, the Hundred Spirit Realm is about to open, and it is not a good time for chaos.”

Wang Bufan said.

“I actually have an idea.”

A faint cold smile appeared on Yu Huayan’s lips.

“What idea?”

Gu Tianyuan asked.

“The Hundred Spirit Realm is opening, and Yun Yi must enter it. The Hundred Spirit Realm is full of dangers and threats. Once Yun Yi gets there, it will be hard for him to survive. Qiao Shaoshan and Xiao Nanshan can protect him outside, but it will be different inside the Hundred Spirit Realm.”

Yu Huayan said.

“My father was right. When we reach the Hundred Spirit Realm, I wonder who will still be able to protect him. This kid has offended too many people. The eight great forces want to get rid of him quickly. Not to mention the dangers within the Hundred Spirit Realm itself, even the talented experts from the eight great forces will not give Yun Yi a chance to live.”

Yu Huafan said.

“That’s great. We can handle this kid ourselves. It saves you from taking action and facing criticism. What we do will be fair and reasonable. Also, every time the Hundred Spirit Realm opens, many people die. If someone dies inside the Hundred Spirit Realm, Qiao Shaoshan won’t be able to say much.”

Gou Zheng said.

“Everyone, do you still want to attack my brother?”

Qiao Shaoshan held Yun Yi’s hand, his sharp gaze passing over Gu Tianyuan and others.

Yun Yi felt touched. Qiao Shaoshan appeared at this moment and chose to become brothers with him. Yun Yi thought that saving Qiao Shaoshan was worth it. He was a person of deep loyalty and friendship, and becoming close friends with him was not a disgrace.

“Haha, Brother Qiao, you are too kind. Since you have spoken up, we must show respect.”

Gu Tianyuan smiled as he spoke.

“Yes, the disagreements between students should really be settled by themselves. We just wanted to give him a little scare, but if it comes to us taking action, we wouldn’t want to lose our dignity.”

Yu Huayan also smiled.

“That face can change so quickly.”

Duan Tianye scoffed.

“Of course, the major forces have never really gotten along. It’s impossible for them to truly unite, and no one wants to offend the Mystic Hand Pill Lord, a neutral party. Peace Villa is very different from our Yanwu family.”

Xiao Nanshan said, feeling the earlier tension completely lift.

The tense atmosphere eased, but the air was still thick with gunpowder.

Very few people were talking; they were all waiting for the opening of the Hundred Spirit Realm gate.

Qiao Shaoshan then released Yun Yi’s hand and clasped his fists towards him, “Brother, I owe my survival this time to your great kindness. Just as you said, my strength not only fully recovered but also improved a lot due to the Red Lotus Karma Fire, reaching the peak of the first grade of the One Line Sky Realm.”

“Since we have already become sworn brothers, why be so polite, big brother? For me, it was just a small favor.”

Yun Yi said with a smile.

“Haha, that’s right! Today, in front of everyone, we have become sworn brothers, and from now on, we will always be there for each other.”

Qiao Shaoshan laughed heartily.

“You two, have you considered my feelings?”

At that moment, Leng Ji walked over, looking angry.

“Sister Leng.”

Yun Yi called out.

“Don’t call me Sister Leng, I should call you Uncle Yun.”

Leng Ji stared at Yun Yi with great annoyance.

Uh…

Yun Yi and Qiao Shaoshan exchanged glances and then burst into laughter; their unusual friendship made Leng Ji feel quite awkward.

“Sister Leng, we can call each other whatever we like, it’s not a problem.”

Yun Yi said with a smile.

“Yes, yes, Ji’er, don’t mind it; we brothers have our way, and you two have yours, still treating each other as peers. If you like my brother, our adoptive father will help set up a match.”

Qiao Shaoshan said.

“Adoptive father, you…”

Leng Ji’s face turned red, and she stomped her foot in anger.
