477: Ye Bufan

"Good, good, I'll have the people inside bring the child out now."

After hearing this, the Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man quickly nodded in agreement, then shouted into the luxurious room, "Xiao Lan! Quickly bring the young master out and let Madam rest well!"

"Yes, Patriarch!"

From inside the luxurious room, a respectful female voice responded. Not long after, the door opened, and a woman in a blue dress, holding a chubby child in a small robe, came before the Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man.

"Patriarch, this is the young master born to Madam." Xiao Lan handed the chubby child to the Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man, her face showing a lingering fear.

When this child was just born, a terrifying gray light erupted, almost knocking her, a Peak Earth Immortal, unconscious. It was truly terrifying.

"Hmm, you go in and take care of Madam. She's very weak right now."

The Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man took the child with a smile, waved his hand at Xiao Lan, and then carried the child to the old man's side.

"Father, please give the child a name. Once he has a name, I'll take him away immediately." The Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man glanced at the child in his arms, then said to the old man who was also staring at the child.

"Hmm, alright."

The old man looked at the child in the Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man's arms, a doting smile on his face as he nodded. After pondering for a few seconds, he said faintly.

"This child's birth caused such a great commotion, he is destined to be extraordinary. His name shall be Leaf Not Ordinary."

"Leaf Not Ordinary?"

The Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man murmured the name upon hearing it, then smiled and replied to the old man, "Father, this name is quite good, simple and easy to understand. From now on, this child will be called Leaf Not Ordinary."

The Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man pinched the child's cheek and teased, "Son, your name is Leaf Not Ordinary from now on. The future of our Ye family rests entirely on you."

Seeing the Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man still teasing the child, the old man's expression stiffened, and he immediately shouted, "Enough, stop teasing the child. Quickly take him and go. Hide in the Grandmist Immortal Realm for a dozen years. As soon as he meets the Qingtian Immortal Sect's disciple recruitment requirements, immediately take him to participate in the Qingtian Immortal Sect's disciple recruitment assembly."

"Yes, yes, Father, I'm leaving now!" Hearing the old man's shout, the Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man also reacted, quickly held the child securely, and wanted to run out of the Ye Family Manor and leave Shifang Immortal City.

"Patriarch Ye, where are you going?"

Before the Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man could even exit the main gate of the Ye family, a dignified, Peak Immortal King in a golden robe smilingly blocked his path, staring at the child in his arms.

"City Lord Xue, my son is unwell. I want to take him outside to find a high-Rank Alchemist to examine him."

Seeing the golden-robed Middle-aged Man blocking his way, the Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man was first startled, then instantly put on a smile and prevaricated.

As soon as the Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man finished speaking, the Immortal King Second-level old man also instantly appeared beside him, cupping his hands respectfully to City Lord Xue and smiling.

"Oh my! It turns out City Lord Xue has graced us with your presence. Please, City Lord Xue, come inside with this old man and allow me to entertain our distinguished guest!"

The old man spoke while winking at the Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man, signaling him to leave quickly.

Receiving the old man's glance, the Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man understood, and tried to bypass City Lord Xue to exit the Ye family gate.

"Heh heh, Patriarch Ye, please wait. This City Lord is here precisely to see what kind of Prodigy, whose birth phenomenon can affect the rules of the entire Xuanming Immortal Realm, looks like. You can't just leave like that."

Seeing that the Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man wanted to bypass him and leave, City Lord Xue, with a fake smile, blocked him again, preventing him from leaving the Ye family gate.

If the Ye family hadn't given birth to such a powerful Prodigy, he wouldn't have targeted the Ye family.

But now that the Ye family possessed a Prodigy whose birth phenomenon could stir the rules of the entire Immortal Realm, he could no longer sit idly by.

After all, if this Prodigy of the Ye family were to be favored by an Immortal Emperor or an even stronger Immortal Emperor, he would have to live under the Ye family's shadow from then on. It would be better to eliminate him now.

"City Lord Xue, what is the meaning of this?"

Seeing City Lord Xue blocking his son and grandson, the Immortal King Second-level old man's expression turned extremely ugly. He flashed to stand in front of the two, glaring at City Lord Xue.

"Hmph, Old Ghost Ye, you should understand what I mean. This City Lord will never sit by and watch your Ye family ride roughshod over my City Lord's Mansion!"

City Lord Xue finished speaking, directly erupting with the Aura of a Peak Immortal King, and with a fierce expression, he was about to attack the old man.

"Hey! What are you two young ones doing? Do you know where that towering gray light pillar, which just affected the rules of the entire Xuanming Immortal Realm, came from?"

"Quickly tell this old man, or I'll make you two disappear immediately!"

Just as City Lord Xue was about to make a move, an Immortal Emperor Sixth-level old man and an Immortal Emperor Seventh-level old man appeared like phantoms at the Ye family's main gate, questioning City Lord Xue and the Immortal King Second-level old man.

Although he had tracked the light pillar all the way and confirmed it originated from Shifang Immortal City.

However, he still hadn't pinpointed the exact location within Shifang Immortal City, which was why he ended up at the Ye family's doorstep, intending to ask City Lord Xue and the Immortal King Second-level old man.

After all, they were the highest-cultivated individuals in Shifang Immortal City, so they should be perfectly clear about where the gray light pillar erupted from.

"Hiss, they're actually two Immortal Emperor powerhouses!"

Feeling the Immortal Emperor Aura of the two old men, City Lord Xue's face changed drastically. He reluctantly reined in his Aura, then turned to the old man with a fawning smile, cupping his hands and replying, "Reporting to Senior, when that gray light pillar erupted, Junior was traveling outside and only just returned to inquire about the news from an old friend."

"Isn't that right, Fellow Daoist Ye?" City Lord Xue finished speaking, then turned his head and sneered at the Immortal King Second-level old man.

He had already overheard the conversation between the two old men and knew they didn't want to expose the child's situation, which was why he dared to lie in front of the Immortal Emperors.

Looking at the sneering City Lord Xue, the Immortal King Second-level old man's expression was extremely conflicted.

If he didn't expose Leaf Not Ordinary's phenomenon, then after the two Immortal Emperors left, City Lord Xue would immediately attack him, and with his Immortal King Second-level cultivation, he wouldn't be able to resist at all.

But if he exposed Leaf Not Ordinary's phenomenon, then these two old men might start fighting over him, which would still implicate the entire Ye family.

After a moment of hesitation, the Immortal King Second-level old man gritted his teeth, glared fiercely at City Lord Xue, and then bowed respectfully to the two Immortal Emperor old men outside the door, saying, "Reporting to the two Seniors, that phenomenon was caused by my newborn grandson. If the two Seniors are willing to accept my grandson as a disciple, please discuss it first before deciding which Senior the child will specifically apprentice under."

Although exposing Leaf Not Ordinary's situation might implicate the entire Ye family, if he didn't expose it, City Lord Xue would be even less likely to spare the Ye family.

So, after much deliberation, he decided to proactively reveal it to the two Immortal Emperors. As long as the two Immortal Emperors were willing to accept Leaf Not Ordinary as a disciple, they could first resolve the trouble with City Lord Xue, and then decide which Immortal Emperor Leaf Not Ordinary would apprentice under.

"What! That phenomenon was caused by this child?"

Hearing the Immortal King Second-level old man's words, the two Immortal King old men exclaimed in surprise, staring intently at Leaf Not Ordinary, who was being held by the Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man.

They had already sensed Leaf Not Ordinary's extraordinary nature in the Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man's arms while in the air, and now hearing the Immortal King Second-level old man say this, they immediately discovered the problem.

Although the towering light pillar had disappeared from Leaf Not Ordinary's body, a gray light still flowed around Leaf Not Ordinary, just like the Aura of that towering gray light.

"Haha, this child's birth phenomenon can stir the rules of the entire Xuanming Immortal Realm. He must be a Prodigy rarely seen in tens of millions of years. This old man finally has a successor!"

"Indeed, this child has such a phenomenon accompanying his birth. His talent must be terrifyingly profound. After careful nurturing, he might even surpass us and become an Immortal Emperor powerhouse!"

The two Immortal Emperor old men came back to their senses, staring excitedly at Leaf Not Ordinary in the Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man's arms.

Facing such a terrifying Prodigy whose birth phenomenon was already monstrous, they naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to take him as a disciple. However, as for which of them Leaf Not Ordinary would specifically apprentice under, that remained to be discussed.

"Old Man Wu! I'll give you an Eleventh-Rank Immortal Artifact. Don't fight me for this child."

After a moment of excitement, one Immortal Emperor old man took out a three-foot-long sword, glowing with a faint blue cold light, and floated it in front of the other Immortal Emperor old man, saying indifferently.

Hearing the words of this Immortal Emperor old man, the Immortal Emperor old man called Old Man Wu's expression hardened. He unhappily took out two Eleventh-Rank Immortal Artifacts from his storage space, flew them in front of him, and roared, "I'll even give you my Natal Immortal Artifact! Don't you dare fight me for this child, or I'll beat you to death!"

"You mean there's no room for discussion?"

"That's right, I'm taking this child today!"

The two glared at each other, fiercely confrontational, neither willing to yield, looking as if they were about to come to blows.

Seeing the two Immortal Emperor old men fighting over Leaf Not Ordinary's ownership, cold sweat streamed down City Lord Xue's forehead.

He hadn't expected the Immortal King Second-level old man to actually dare to admit that Leaf Not Ordinary was the source of the phenomenon.

Now that both Immortal Emperors were interested in taking Leaf Not Ordinary as a disciple, no matter who ultimately took Leaf Not Ordinary, he, the one who tried to harm Leaf Not Ordinary, would definitely be dead.

Stealthily glancing at the two Immortal Emperor old men, and seeing that their attention wasn't on him, City Lord Xue cautiously moved his feet, intending to slip away from the Ye family's entrance.

"Two Seniors, this fellow just attacked my grandson, trying to nip him in the bud. The two Seniors must not let him leave."

Seeing City Lord Xue trying to run, the Immortal King Second-level old man quickly spoke out to the two Immortal Emperor old men who were still in a standoff.

"What! This beast actually tried to attack my disciple? You deserve to die!"

"Damn it! To dare to attack my precious disciple, you wouldn't die enough even if you died ten thousand times!"

The two Immortal Emperor old men, upon hearing this, instantly unleashed their Immortal Emperor might, pressing down heavily on City Lord Xue, who was trying to escape, directly forcing him to his knees, like a dead dog.

"Two Seniors, spare my life! Junior did not intend to kill the two Seniors' disciple. That fellow is deceiving the two Seniors!"

City Lord Xue knelt on the ground, speaking with a terrified expression.

"Hmph, whether you truly intended to kill him or if he's falsely accusing you, you still have to die!"

"That's right, my precious disciple's grandfather says you are guilty, and your crimes are unforgivable!"

Facing City Lord Xue's plea for mercy, the two Immortal Emperor old men, with cold smiles, increased the pressure on City Lord Xue's body, instantly crushing City Lord Xue into a puddle of blood.

They didn't care if the Immortal King Second-level old man was falsely accusing City Lord Xue. As long as the Immortal King Second-level old man spoke, even if City Lord Xue didn't have that intention, they would still have to kill City Lord Xue.

After all, Leaf Not Ordinary would be their disciple, and they couldn't refuse the request of their disciple's grandfather.

"Hiss, Immortal Emperor powerhouses are truly terrifying!"

Seeing the two Immortal Emperor old men kill the Peak Immortal King City Lord Xue with just their Aura, without even lifting a hand.

The Immortal King Second-level old man and the Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man holding Leaf Not Ordinary exchanged a look of horror.

"Old Man Wu, just tell me, what conditions do you need to let me have this child?"

After crushing City Lord Xue, the two Immortal Emperor old men didn't even spare a glance at the bloodstain that City Lord Xue had become. They immediately confronted each other again, discussing Leaf Not Ordinary's ownership.

"Hmph! You want me to give this child to you? Dream on! Just state your conditions. As long as it's not asking for my life, I'll satisfy all of them!" The Immortal Emperor old man called Old Man Wu snorted coldly, retorting mercilessly.

"You...!" Facing the unyielding Old Man Wu, the other Immortal Emperor old man's face flushed with anger. Then, his eyes darted, and he fixed his gaze on the Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man holding Leaf Not Ordinary.

"Hey! You're the father of my precious disciple, right? Tell me, who do you want my precious disciple to apprentice under?" This Immortal Emperor old man stared at the Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man.

Since Old Man Wu was unwilling to yield, he would give the decision to the Ye family. As long as the Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man nodded and let Leaf Not Ordinary apprentice under him, Old Man Wu would have no reason to contend with him further.

"This..." When asked by this Immortal Emperor old man, the Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man looked troubled and turned to look at the Immortal King Second-level old man.

Although this decision seemed to be a simple choice between two, if he chose incorrectly, the entire Ye family would be wiped out, so he dared not make any decision.

Receiving the Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man's gaze, the Immortal King Second-level old man also wore a worried expression.

The Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man didn't dare to choose, and neither did he.

"You two must consider carefully, who exactly will this child apprentice under?"

Seeing the other Immortal Emperor old man throw the question to the Richly Dressed Middle-aged Man, the Immortal Emperor old man called Old Man Wu spoke coldly from the side.

Although if the two allowed Leaf Not Ordinary to apprentice under the other Immortal Emperor, he would indeed have no reason to contend further.

But with a powerful expert of his same Rank intimidating them from the side, as long as the two weren't fools, they should know that choosing neither was the correct answer.

Feeling the coldness from the Immortal Emperor called Old Man Wu, the Immortal King Second-level old man's expression changed for a while, then he respectfully cupped his hands to the two in fear, saying.

"Two... two Seniors, please don't make things difficult for Junior. Our Ye family cannot afford to offend either of you. As for who my grandson will specifically apprentice under, please let the two Seniors decide among yourselves."
