The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3219 - 3214: What Do You Think You Are?_1

With a relaxed grin, Yang Chen casually pulled out a seven-colored glaze stone and passed it over to Honglian without hesitation.

"This is a seven-colored glaze stone—please take it, Senior Sister Honglian," Yang Chen declared.

Elder Honglian stood there in shock for a second, her full red lips parting in astonishment, creating a breathtaking sight.

Clearly struggling to process what was happening, she fixed her gaze on the seven-colored glaze stone, eyes bulging wide. "Young Master Yang Chen, you... you're truly just handing me this seven-colored glaze stone? With no strings attached?"

Yang Chen replied, "As I mentioned earlier, these gifts are for the seniors present, and I won't demand anything back, naturally."

"This..." Elder Honglian still found it hard to wrap her head around it.

Yang Chen chuckled and added, "Senior Sister Honglian, feel free to voice whatever's on your mind."

Honglian let out a light giggle in response. "Alright then, I'll be direct. Initially, when I witnessed Young Master Yang Chen barring all those Heavenly Fate Realm powerhouses from entering, I figured you had an eccentric personality and securing a seven-colored glaze stone would be incredibly tough. Yet, surprisingly, it proved so straightforward."

"One could call it simple if they wish, yet claim it's challenging too," Yang Chen responded.

"How so?" Honglian fluttered her eyelids curiously.

Yang Chen explained, "By distributing these seven-colored glaze stones, what am I after? Respect, of course. I, Yang Chen, never shortchange anyone. If these mighty figures barge in and still carry themselves arrogantly, expecting me to hand over the stones, what would you say, Senior Sister Honglian? Ought I to grant them the seven-colored glaze stone or not?"

His remarks were blunt and obviously directed at the Heavenly Fate Realm experts lingering outside.

To claim the seven-colored glaze stones, they needed to display at least some basic courtesy. Acting all haughty now? Did they expect Yang Chen to yield like soft clay?

"Senior Sister Honglian chose to wait patiently outside and even called me junior brother. What more could Yang Chen possibly want? That's plenty for me. Naturally, my quick agreement owes something to Senior Brother Gu Jianchou's endorsement—he praised you highly." Yang Chen continued.

At those words, a blush crept across Honglian's lovely features. "That cheeky fellow didn't utter a kind word to my face, yet he goes gossiping about me behind my back."

Noticing the flush on Honglian's cheeks, Yang Chen realized her bond with Gu Jianchou ran deep.

He chose not to probe further on the topic, and Honglian accepted the seven-colored glaze stone with a soft tone. "Junior Brother Yang Chen, should you ever require assistance down the line, don't hesitate to seek me out. I won't boast too grandly, but if a certain girl in the sect catches your interest, I'll ensure to lend a hand."

Yang Chen burst into laughter. "Count on it."

Honglian departed with a warm, gentle smile.

As she exited, the Heavenly Fate Realm experts outside watched with undisguised jealousy.

Who could resist feeling envious after seeing someone snag a seven-colored glaze stone with such ease? Word had spread that King Yuanyang had visited earlier but departed without a thing.

Witnessing this, the handful of Heavenly Fate Realm experts exchanged glances, unsure who ought to step inside first.

In the end, an elder in white robes with flowing sleeves and a scarred face from the Heavenly Fate Realm strode into the chamber.

Upon stepping in, he showed no formality, plopping down right opposite Yang Chen before declaring, "Yang Chen, I'm known as Thousand Autumns True Person. I'm a blunt sort. Truth is, I'm quite eager for that seven-colored glaze stone and lingered outside because of it. My earlier words were rash and disrespectful. If Fellow Daoist Yang Chen took offense, this old man offers his apologies. Regarding the seven-colored glaze stone, I truly require it—I've been mired at the embryonic stage of the world for three million years, making no headway."

With that, Thousand Autumns True Person let out a heavy sigh.

Yang Chen heard him out without much comment, then produced the seven-colored glaze stone and offered, "Here you are, senior—please take it."

"This... Brother Yang Chen, you're seriously just giving it to me?" Thousand Autumns True Person sensed joy crashing over him abruptly. Why hadn't he and the other Heavenly Fate Realm experts charged in sooner?

They all recognized their initial behavior had irked Yang Chen, so forcing entry would have been pointless—he likely wouldn't have consented.

He'd simply hoped to test his fortune. Little did he expect Yang Chen to actually agree.

"Senior humbled himself to speak so candidly—it's almost overwhelming for this junior. Of course, I must offer you the seven-colored glaze stone," Yang Chen replied smilingly.

Those words not only allowed Thousand Autumns True Person to save face and claim the seven-colored glaze stone but also filled him with delight.

"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Brother Yang Chen, no more words needed from me. From now on, count me as your friend!" Thousand Autumns True Person boomed with laughter. "I won't linger and disturb you further. Goodbye!"

Since others still queued outside, Thousand Autumns True Person didn't dawdle. He grabbed the seven-colored glaze stone and departed.

Once Thousand Autumns True Person had gone, Ye Fengyi became the next to enter.

Ye Fengyi hurried inside wearing a woeful expression, but after crossing the threshold, he cleared his throat, clasped his hands behind his back, and announced, "Fellow Daoist Yang Chen, I concede we shared some discord earlier. Today, I come to offer my apology."

Despite his words of regret, Ye Fengyi avoided meeting Yang Chen's gaze entirely.

Yang Chen saw right through the pretense and stated coolly, "Senior Ye, kindly depart."

Ye Fengyi's expression twisted sharply at that. He hadn't even completed his apology, yet his features soured back to their former scowl as he snapped, "Yang Chen, what's your intent? For this old man to stoop and apologize to you already grants you honor. Are you singling me out on purpose?"

After all, Thousand Autumns True Person had just secured his seven-colored glaze stone and exited moments prior.

It was only upon observing that success that he'd steeled himself to mimic the approach.

Once he obtained the seven-colored glaze stone, even if he betrayed Yang Chen afterward, so what? Any humiliation endured could later be pinned squarely on Yang Chen.

To his shock, not only did he suffer the embarrassment, but Yang Chen showed zero willingness to provide the seven-colored glaze stone!

In that instant, he bellowed accusations, charging Yang Chen with intentional persecution.

With hands folded behind his back, Yang Chen responded calmly, "If Senior Ye chooses to view it that way, I have no retort. Still, perhaps Senior Ye should first reflect on his own demeanor before issuing an apology. You've scarcely glanced at me once, yet speak of making amends? Is that genuine remorse? I'm certain that if I handed over the seven-colored glaze stone now, you'd flip on me immediately. Regrettably, Senior, this seven-colored glaze stone isn't for you."

"You!" Ye Fengyi exploded in rage. "Yang Chen, weigh the fallout of crossing me!"

Yang Chen scoffed. "Ye Fengyi, are you overestimating yourself? I, Yang Chen, boldly challenge the Grand Abyss Palace, slay Mo Wanchou, and defy the Spirit Separation Ancestor—pray tell, what makes you, Ye Fengyi, so formidable?"
