Chapter 684: Green Youth Ye Linshan
Xiang Shaoyun had decided to trade all those items away for two reasons. First, he could increase the strength of the Overlord Legion. Secondly, he could also increase the variety of elemental items in his collection, hoping to stumble upon things that might be useful for him. Furthermore, he could always trade away the items he gained from trading with his subordinates.
He also hoped to set an example so that the Overlord Legion members would not keep their treasures for themselves. If they had a treasure that wouldn't be useful for them, it would be better to trade it away so everyone could get something that would be useful for themselves. That way, they could all grow faster in strength.
One could say that Xiang Shaoyun's action increased the Overlord legion's unity and improved their loyalty toward him. It was an effect brought by the existence of a spiritual leader, one that others couldn't imitate.
After trading away a portion of the items he had gotten from the goldmen, Xiang Shaoyun also took out some gold elemental items and gave them to Lady Shura. She was his own woman, so he naturally wouldn't mistreat her. He only hoped she could break through faster and gain greater strength.
He then summoned Vicious One, Vicious Two, and Vicious Three. They were now Demon Kings. Although intelligent, they were still extremely vicious. It was now time for them to leave and temper themselves.
But since Xiang Shaoyun was too busy to leave for the wilderness, he let them stay in the villa. When he found a chance, he would bring the birds out on a training expedition.
Done with all that, he set off for 2 Phoenix Villa. He wanted to see what Han Chenfei needed him to do to help the Han Clan sisters. However, when he was about to arrive, one man and one mount blocked his path.
The man was a handsome youngster dressed in a green outfit. He had sharp eyebrows, a stern face, a tall and upright body, bright eyes, and a graceful temperament. He was an incredibly handsome young man.
He was comparable to Xiang Shaoyun in terms of looks, and he also exuded an extraordinary bearing. As for the mount, it was a rare three-eyed green wolf. Its coat of green fur was glossy and sleek, looking like a verdant grassland. Its body was as sturdy as a cow. Its eyes carried a profound glint, and its sharp fangs gleamed under the sunlight.
The green wolves had always been rare, and one with three eyes was even rarer. The third eye on its forehead definitely contained an unimaginable demonic ability. As Xiang Shaoyun looked at the youth in green, the youth looked at him as well. Their eyes met, and sparks were created.
"Green Youth Ye Linshan."
“Overlord Xiang Shaoyun."
They each called out the other's identity at the same time. That's right. The person standing before Xiang Shaoyun was none other than the Ye Clan's genius, Green Youth Ye Linshan. He was only a year older than Xiang Shaoyun yet was already one of the top 10 disciples on the Dragon Phoenix List. His strength was probably only slightly weaker than Xiao Xie, or perhaps they were almost on par with each other.
He was the love rival Xiang Shaoyun had long known about. Back at the Bloodsin City, Ye Linshan's cousin Ye Youfei had created some troubles for Xiang Shaoyun but was ultimately beaten and chased away.
This was the very first time Xiang Shaoyun was meeting Ye Linshan face to face. In truth, Xiang Shaoyun had never cared much for Ye Linshan. It wasn't that he looked down on Ye Linshan, but he had a firm belief that he and Yu Caidie were born to be together, as if they had been destined to be a couple since their previous lives.
With their preordained fate to be together, how could anyone ruin their relationship? Yu Caidie wouldn't have bothered visiting him otherwise. Her visit only served to prove that she felt the same and also harbored feelings for him.
As for Ye Linshan, perhaps he really wouldn't give up on Yu Caidie, but he was destined to have his heart broken. Thus, Xiang Shaoyun felt sympathy for him, not enmity. Of course, the more men that pursued his woman, the more it proved that he had good taste in women.
As a man, he believed he should be magnanimous about that. Naturally, if the other party remained stubborn, he wouldn't mind teaching the other party a lesson.
"You're here to visit Caidie?" Ye Linshan asked with a calm smile.
He was actually exhibiting zero hostility. It was curious if he was simply good at hiding his hostility or if that was really how he felt.
Xiang Shaoyun only blanked out slightly before answering, "No, I'm here to look for Han Chenfei."
He once imagined that when he finally met Ye Linshan, they might exchange insults or even blows. He had never expected to have such a calm conversation.
"Since you have declared that Caidie is your woman, why are you still looking for a different woman? Don't you think you're being disrespectful to Caidie?" Ye Linshan questioned, his tone reproachful.
"I have some business with Han Chenfei. It's not like what you think at all. Even Caidie knows that well," Xiang Shaoyun replied.
"Oh, I see. Go, then," Ye Linshan said in astonishment. "If you want to be Caidie's man, you have to get through me. You need to prove yourself worthy of her. I will be awaiting your challenge."
He then left in an unhurried manner, not appearing as if he was looking for a fight. It greatly confused Xiang Shaoyun. This was completely unlike a meeting of love rivals!
But he quickly tossed that thought away. "This guy sure is weird."
He then continued toward Han Chenfei's villa. When he arrived, Leng Feng, the number one guard serving under Han Chenfei, appeared and blocked his path.
"Do you have any business here?" Leng Feng naturally recognized Xiang Shaoyun, which was why he did not have a good opinion of Xiang Shaoyun.
He kept having a hunch that their young palace master had an indescribable feeling for Xiang Shaoyun, and that caused envy to fill his heart.
"I'm here to look for your young palace master. Please let her know," Xiang Shaoyun said.
Leng Feng slightly hesitated before he entered the villa to report the visit.
Before long, he returned and said coldly, "You may enter."
Xiang Shaoyun strode into the villa. Inside, Han Chenfei was waiting with the Han Clan sisters.
"I did not expect to see you so soon. Looks like the sisters are quite important to you, huh?" said Han Chenfei as an enchanting smile bloomed on her face.
"You're right. Since I was the one who had brought them to the academy, even after becoming your followers, they are still my friends. I hope you won't mind that, Palace Master Han," said Xiang Shaoyun bluntly.
Han Qianwei and Han Xuewei were touched. They felt even more regret for the hatred they once harbored toward Xiang Shaoyun.
"Young Master Xiang is indeed a warm-blooded person. Of course, I, Han Chenfei, am not an unreasonable person," said Han Chenfei.
She then went straight to the point, "Our Glacier Palace has a Glacier Sutra, and it can allow one to make use of all types of frost energy. It is completely capable of remedying the sisters' flaws, but that alone is not enough. Their foundations have been harmed by frost energy since young, and they need the supplement of an even more powerful frost energy. Let's just say that we will defeat frost with frost. Only by helping them fully fuse with the frost energy within them will they be cured. In the Deep Tidalwave, there is a land of extreme cold that can help them do just that."
