Ye Tianchen wouldn’t be so foolish to admit he’s Ye Tianchen at this moment. Doing so could very likely incur the attacks of the old fogey from Dingzong and the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family. Although he isn’t afraid of them and even has confidence in taking them down while they’re injured, after all, this is Penglai Ancient Martial World, where Dingzong and the Xinyang family have strong legacies. If he were to recklessly expose himself like this, he’d be hunted everywhere, which Ye Tianchen couldn’t endure. Moreover, a large number of experts from Dingzong and the Xinyang family might be waiting at the ruins of the Taishi family. If they found out he was Ye Tianchen, they would all swarm him. Only a fool would admit it now.
“Old man, throughout my life, I have been upright and I don’t make blind analyses. But do you think this kid resembles that Ye Tianchen?” The old man with the pipe stared angrily at Ye Tianchen and said.
“Pah, you can even say such shameless words. You claim to be upright your entire life; who was it that sold fake maps in Linxian City? Who is it that tricked us into coming here? Who made us become stepping stones for opening the formation, the scapegoats? It was you, it was you, it was all you!” Ye Tianchen said indignantly, looking very emotional at the old man with the pipe.
“That… that has nothing to do with whether you’re Ye Tianchen…” The old man with the pipe was so furious he almost exploded.
“Nothing to do with it? How is it unrelated? To be honest with you, you old codger, I wouldn’t believe a word from someone like you even if you beat me to death. If you believe this old codger’s words, then you are falling for the biggest con artist in the world.” Ye Tianchen, looking utterly helpless and speechless, said.
At this time, the old fogey from Dingzong, the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family, and the Wudao Saint Child all pushed back the Stone Men some distance. Although they hadn’t completely killed them, for the time being, they posed no life-threatening dangers. Apart from Ye Tianchen arguing and debating with the old man with the pipe, the other four were also keeping a wary eye on them, uncertain if what they said was true. Especially the old fogey from Dingzong and the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family, who looked at Ye Tianchen with a hint of killing intent and an unusual expression.
“Hey, are you two going to believe this old codger’s words? Fine, deal with the Stone Men yourself then; after all, I’m not hindering you now. I’m rushing towards that giant stele, even though I wanted to help you shock-kill those Stone Men earlier. But since it seems you’re going to believe this old codger’s words, let him help you then. I’m not going to serve!” Ye Tianchen said angrily, pretending to be wronged, looking very disgruntled.
Ye Tianchen turned around to leave when the old fogey from Dingzong was the first to speak. He was the most injured, and his physical body power couldn’t be fully exerted. Seeing Ye Tianchen’s physical strength so powerful that he could easily kill these Stone Men, if he didn’t help, the old fogey would be in for more suffering.
“Hehe, young Taoist friend, don’t be angry. I was just thinking. After all, that Ye Tianchen holds no small grudge with our Dingzong. I realize now that this old codger is just a blabbermouth. How could I believe a word from this big con artist?” The old fogey of Dingzong said shamelessly with a smile.
“Yes, yes, in Linxian City, he was selling fake maps and deceiving people. I saw it with my own eyes. Such a deceitful scoundrel definitely can’t be trusted. I absolutely do not believe him.” The middle-aged man from the Xinyang family also said with a smile.
“You… you shameless bunch, I’m so angry!” the old man with the pipe was boiling with rage and shouted.
“You’re the shameless one, old fraud!” The old fogey from Dingzong and the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family both said to the old man with the pipe.
Ye Tianchen stood on the side, chuckling to himself. He had long wanted to deal with this old codger with the pipe. In Linxian City, he had been tricked terribly, and if he didn’t retaliate a bit, it’d be unforgivable. Of course, Ye Tianchen also understood that the old fogey from Dingzong and the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family might just be pretending to believe him to get his help to drive away the Stone Men. But, at least for now, they had no evidence and wouldn’t act against him. He planned to find a way to slip away after they left.
The old codger with the pipe almost died from anger. He didn’t mean anything else, just blurted out his suspicion that the person in front of him was likely Ye Tianchen. Who knew, not only did others not suspect or approve, but they also made him look like a fraud. Everyone present looked at him with strange eyes, as if they would never believe a word he said again. This feeling was terrible, an undeserved feeling worse than any injustice!
At this time, Ye Tianchen looked in the distance. He had no intention of helping the old fogey from Dingzong and the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family shock-kill the Stone Men. After all, he knew these two were strong cultivators and his mortal enemies, fight to the death, how could he help them?
