The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2573 - 2562: Persuasion

What’s happening here?

What is going on?

Fan Qianrong and Shen Tingyu looked at Shen Xiuhai in confusion.

After taking a deep breath, Shen Xiuhai said, "This friend Ye is about thirty years old."

He tried to keep his voice calm, but there was still a tremor in it.

When Shen Xiuhai said this, at first Fan Qianrong and Shen Tingyu didn’t react.

They thought they had misheard, but after confirming it, the master and disciple were stunned. How could they not be shocked suddenly? A thirty-year-old Divine Emperor Realm Initial Stage expert would be laughed at by others.

However.

The Eye of Illusion Shatter cannot be wrong, both Fan Qianrong and Shen Tingyu knew this. They looked at Ye Chenfeng in disbelief, now understanding why Ye Chenfeng was concealing his aura.

In the Middle Realm, Shen Tingyu is considered a genius. Her strength is at the half-step Divine King level because she spent much of her energy on alchemy. In the Middle Realm, many top geniuses have truly stepped into the Divine King Realm, but compared to Ye Chenfeng, it’s like the difference between heaven and earth.

First, Ye Chenfeng’s strength is already at the Divine Emperor Realm Initial Stage, while even the most outstanding talents in the Middle Realm have not surpassed the Divine King Realm.

Secondly, Ye Chenfeng is only about thirty years old, and how old are those geniuses in the Middle Realm? Even the youngest are hundreds to thousands of years old.

Is there any comparison between the two?

Shen Tingyu’s beautiful eyes were full of brilliance as her interest in Ye Chenfeng suddenly increased, staring unblinkingly at him.

Fan Qianrong also did not expect such an outcome, the first time he wanted to take on a disciple, and it turned out to be such a genius in cultivation?

To describe Ye Chenfeng merely as a "genius" was too weak. There was no word to convey his extraordinary talent adequately.

Shen Xiuhai approached Ye Chenfeng with a cheerful face, retracting his aura, appearing like a harmless old man. He said, "Friend Ye, rest assured, I will definitely keep your secret. I swear by my Martial Heart."

Anyone who swears by the Martial Heart must keep the oath. If they go back on it, their mind will be severely affected, possibly even generating a Heart Demon.

This shows that Shen Xiuhai was a decisive person, he was very optimistic about Ye Chenfeng and planned to strengthen their relationship.

Fan Qianrong also retracted his previous anger and similarly swore by his Martial Heart to keep Ye Chenfeng’s secret.

Finally, Shen Tingyu followed suit by swearing with her Martial Heart.

Seeing the goodwill the others showed, Ye Chenfeng slightly nodded, and Long Gaoyuan beside him was also slightly relieved.

Since his cultivation level could not be hidden, Ye Chenfeng did not take it seriously. Through previous interactions, he judged Fan Qianrong and Shen Tingyu to be worthy of befriending, and Shen Xiuhai’s actions showed he had no ill intentions towards him.

It is true that the type of friends you make speaks about your character; since Shen Xiuhai could be friends with Fan Qianrong, his character should be good as well.

Ye Chenfeng released his true aura as a Divine Emperor Realm Initial Stage expert and said, "Thank you all very much, while traveling I cannot help but be cautious."

Shen Xiuhai said, "Friend Ye, we all understand. If not for my training in the Eye of Illusion Shatter, you would have indeed fooled me, which would have been a lifelong regret for me."

"Friend Ye, your level of strength at such a young age is truly admirable. You should continue to hide your aura, as the Divine Origin Realm is not peaceful. You can consider the Shens your home if you don’t mind, and you may call me ’big brother’. From now on, we are family."

Ye Chenfeng was not a pretentious person; he needed the help of local forces in the Middle Realm to better understand it and to seek the whereabouts of Old Bai and Old Hei. He nodded and said, "Then I’ll be troubling Brother Shen."

Seeing Ye Chenfeng’s genuine behavior, Shen Xiuhai cheerfully said, "It’s no trouble, no trouble at all. Today, since you’ve come to our Shen family, I insist on having a few drinks with you, or else I would feel uneasy."

Beside him, seeing her ancestor and Ye Chenfeng calling each other ’brother,’ Shen Tingyu had a somewhat unnatural expression on her face.

After learning about Ye Chenfeng’s strength, Fan Qianrong gave up the idea of accepting him as a disciple; he thought that Ye Chenfeng was undoubtedly a genius solely dedicated to cultivation.

He also doubted that Ye Chenfeng was an alchemist, because reaching the Divine Emperor Realm Initial Stage at thirty was already legendary, surely Ye Chenfeng had been completely focused on cultivation before.

Regarding Shen Tingyu’s previous test of Ye Chenfeng, he could name various Spirit Grasses, and his affinity with fire suggested that Ye Chenfeng might be interested in alchemy.

Fan Qianrong said, "Friend Ye, earlier I was thinking of guiding you into the path of alchemists, but now I advise you not to become interested in alchemy, or engage in anything related to it. That would only distract you. I know the amount of energy alchemy requires; if you focus on cultivation, you will reach the peak one day."

Shen Xiuhai also urged, "Brother Ye, this old man Fan has a strange temper, but he’s correct in this case. With your cultivation talent, focusing on one path is proper. Do not think of entering the realm of alchemists."

"To put it plainly, alchemists serve the strong, don’t they? If you continuously improve your strength, which alchemist in the world would dare defy you?"

Listening to Fan Qianrong and Shen Xiuhai’s advice, Ye Chenfeng smiled wryly to himself. He wanted to explain, but the situation would become more complicated, so he decided to go along with it!

The matter of being a Supreme Alchemist would be discussed slowly later.

Ye Chenfeng nodded, "Alright, I won’t think about it anymore."

Seeing Ye Chenfeng agree, Shen Xiuhai and Fan Qianrong smiled in satisfaction.

Beside him, Long Gaoyuan was full of mixed feelings inside. He knew that Ye Chenfeng was a Supreme Alchemist, he could almost imagine their expressions when they found out about Ye Chenfeng’s identity in the future. Advising a Supreme Alchemist not to enter the ranks of alchemists? It was truly laughable!

"Brother Ye, I’ve said enough. Come, let me give you a welcome," Shen Xiuhai said cheerfully.

He knew Ye Chenfeng’s potential. As long as Ye Chenfeng continued to grow, maintaining a good relationship with him would definitely bring great fortunes to the Shens in the future.
