He took a step forward and came before the Red Dust Squad, saying, "Which of you is the captain? I want to challenge your captain!"
"Huh?"
Ye Hongyi and the others exchanged glances. To be honest, there really wasn't a designated captain in their Red Dust Squad. However, since Zhao Yan had said it like that, they naturally wouldn't ignore him.
"I am the captain!" X4!
After saying that, the four women looked at each other again, each able to read the meaning in the other's eyes.
They all wanted to teach Zhao Yan a lesson.
"Are you toying with me?" Zhao Yan's face darkened. How could all of them be the captain?
"Zhao Yan, what madness are you spouting?"
Luo Hongyan had never thought highly of Zhao Yan, but out of consideration for the relationship between their families, she had always tolerated him in the past. But now that they had already fallen out, she wouldn't indulge him any longer.
"Luo Hongyan, you shut up. You're no longer a member of the Heavenly Gate Squad, so you have no right to speak." Zhao Yan also stopped pretending and coldly rebuked Luo Hongyan.
Before, he had been thinking of getting Luo Hongyan to obediently get into his bed like the other three women in the squad, but now, Luo Hongyan had left the Heavenly Gate Squad in front of everyone and actively joined the opposing Red Dust Squad. This was simply a slap in his face.
As the heir of the Yan King Zhao family, he would definitely not let Luo Hongyan have an easy time. He had already decided that he would ask the elders in his family to propose marriage to the Luo Shui clan when he returned. He believed that, for the sake of the ancestor, even the Luo Shui Immortal King would actively arrange a marriage between Luo Hongyan and the Zhao family.
Hmph, Luo Hongyan, I'd like to see what you'll do then.
"Zhao Yan, as the heir of the Zhao family, I advise you not to embarrass yourself here," Luo Hongyan coldly snorted. Luo Hongyan also had immense respect for the Zhao family, especially the Yan King.
"Embarrass myself? Hahaha…" Zhao Yan laughed wildly and said, "Does expressing your love for a flat-feathered beast in public not embarrass the Luo Shui clan?"
In Zhao Yan's eyes, Luo Hongyan's direct confession to Tianpeng was like offering herself, which was an insult to Zhao Yan as the heir of the Zhao family.
How could he, Zhao Yan, be inferior to a flat-feathered beast?
"You…" Luo Hongyan was about to say something, but Ye Hongyi stopped her and said softly, "Leave it to me." Then, she looked at Zhao Yan and said, "Didn't you want to challenge our Red Dust Squad's captain? I'll take you on."
"You're the captain?" Zhao Yan glanced at the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter. The Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter's aura was even more domineering, so it should be most logical for her to be the captain.
"You want to fight me?" A divine glow flashed in the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter's eyes. Although she looked down on opponents like Zhao Yan, she wouldn't mind teaching Zhao Yan a lesson.
"Let me do it!" Ye Hongyi said. Although her expression was calm, those who knew her knew that she was angry.
Not for anything else, but because Zhao Yan had called Tianpeng a flat-feathered beast.
Although Tianpeng was her mount, she had never treated Tianpeng as a beast, but as a comrade. Now that someone was insulting her comrade, how could she remain indifferent?
"Can you represent the Red Dust Squad?" Zhao Yan asked.
"She can!"
Before Ye Hongyi could speak, the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter and the other two answered in unison.
A trace of gloom flashed in Zhao Yan's eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Very well, since you can represent the Red Dust Squad, then let's make a bet, how about it?"
"Alright!" Ye Hongyi said calmly.
The surrounding people were immediately shocked. Ye Hongyi had actually agreed without even asking what the bet was. What confidence was this?
Zhao Yan could naturally hear this as well. He coldly snorted and said, "Since you've agreed, then I'll talk about the content of the bet. In the battle between us, whoever loses will have their squad disband, and the members of the squad cannot join other squads or form a squad in any way."
For example, some secret realms or rewards can only be exchanged for merits by squad members. For example, if you want an immortal king to give you a lecture alone, anyone can exchange for this reward if they have enough merits, but ordinary people have to wait until the immortal king is free to exchange for the reward, but squad members are different.
As long as their merits are sufficient, even if the immortal king is in seclusion, they must personally come out of seclusion to give them a lecture.
This is the difference between squad members and ordinary cultivators.
Hearing this bet, Luo Hongyan's expression also changed drastically. She glared at Zhao Yan and said, "Zhao Yan, what right do you have to make this decision on behalf of the other members of the Heavenly Gate Squad?"
The members of the Heavenly Gate Squad also had drastic changes in their expressions at this time, because Zhao Yan's bet was too big. Even if there were immortal kings standing behind them, as long as they were not squad members, they could not enjoy the treatment that only squad members had.
After hearing Luo Hongyan's words, Zhao Yan chuckled coldly. He turned his head to look at the members of his squad and said, "Are you not clear about my strength?"
Hearing this, the expressions of the members of the Heavenly Gate Squad eased slightly. Although Zhao Yan's character was not very good, as the heir of the Yan King Zhao family, his strength could not be underestimated. He was much stronger than any of them.
However, some people still did not want to take this risk. One person stood up and said, "Captain, the elders in the sect once warned me that if I cannot become a squad member, then I will be expelled from the sect. Please forgive me."
"Wang Hong, what do you mean?" Zhao Yan's face changed and he questioned.
Wang Hong said softly, "I cannot put my future on the shoulders of others, so I choose to withdraw from the Heavenly Gate Squad."
Zhao Yan's face was gloomy, but he just looked at Wang Hong and remained silent for a long time. After a long time, he said, "Is there anyone else who wants to withdraw? Come out together!"
As soon as these words fell, the original three people who were still wavering all spoke out to withdraw from the Heavenly Gate Squad.
For a time, the Heavenly Gate Squad, which originally had fifteen young supreme beings, had six people leaving at this time. The remaining nine people also had unpredictable expressions, but they finally chose to believe in Zhao Yan.
Or rather, they believed in the Yan King!
Their elders had all told them that the Yan King would definitely become a Venerable after this seclusion. This was what they had learned from their respective ancestors, because the Ardent Emperor not only bestowed the title of Yan King, but also personally lectured him. The Yan King was already standing at the peak of the Immortal King, and only needed an opportunity to become a Venerable.
And the Ardent Emperor's lecture became his opportunity.
Now, if they really get along well with Zhao Yan, then they will also be the faction of the Yan Venerable in the future.
No matter where you are, there will be factional disputes, and choosing a team is very important.
"Very well, you will not regret today's choice!" Zhao Yan's expression improved slightly and he nodded with satisfaction. As for those who left him, he naturally remembered them one by one and would make them pay the price in the future.
"Zhao Yan, you're really crazy." Luo Hongyan shook her head, unable to understand why the Yan King Zhao family would cultivate such a playboy. Could it be that the Zhao family was drifting because of the Yan King?
"Hmph, it's useless to say more!" Zhao Yan coldly snorted.
Ye Hongyi patted Luo Hongyan on the shoulder and smiled, "There's no need to be angry, it's not worth it."
"Honghong is right, if you get angry with some people, you'll only fall for their tricks. If you ignore them, they'll become angry out of embarrassment," Ye Yuxian smiled.
"You…"
Zhao Yan was furious, but the next moment, Ye Yuxian interrupted him and said to Luo Hongyan, "See, was I right?"
"Puchi!"
Luo Hongyan chuckled and nodded repeatedly, ignoring Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan coldly shouted, "I'll see how you can still laugh later." After saying that, his figure flashed and he came into the void.
Seeing this, Ye Hongyi said to Tianpeng, "Tianpeng, go back and have a good rest."
"Yes!" Tianpeng nodded, not even looking at Zhao Yan.
"Hmph!" Zhao Yan could only snort angrily at Tianpeng's disregard, but he didn't dare to say anything. At this time, only by defeating Ye Hongyi could he save face.
Tianpeng returned to the ground, and Luo Hongyan stepped forward to greet him, "Tianpeng, fellow Daoist, my name is Luo Hongyan, and I will also be a member of the Red Dust Squad in the future. Please give me your guidance."
"Mm!" Tianpeng nodded.
Tianpeng's performance made the women shake their heads secretly. What do you mean by "Mm"? At this time, you should say something like "I don't dare to give guidance, let's learn from each other" to be humble.
However, Luo Hongyan did not seem to be angry because of Tianpeng's attitude. Instead, she said with a smile, "I have a set of treasure clothes that I got from a secret realm, but it's a men's style, so it's not suitable for me. Your clothes are all blood now, why don't you change into them first?"
"Alright!" Tianpeng thought for a while and nodded. He felt that his current image was really not good, and he definitely did not think about why he should accept Luo Hongyan's treasure clothes.
In Tianpeng's view, since they were all members of the Red Dust Squad, it was normal to help each other. If he got any treasures suitable for Luo Hongyan in the future, he would give them back to her.
Soon, Tianpeng changed into a brand new set of clothes, which was a set of black treasure clothes embroidered with blood-colored cloud patterns, which fit Tianpeng's figure perfectly, making him look even more aloof.
Seeing that the two were getting along well, Ye Hongyi smiled, "You two get along well, I'll be right back."
I'll be right back!
These four words fell into everyone's ears without missing a single word.
"Tsk tsk, the words of the Hongyi Fairy are too arrogant, as if Zhao Yan is a small person who can be sent away at will."
"Look at Zhao Yan's face, it's so gloomy that it can drip water."
"This is likely to be a magnificent battle. Zhao Yan of the Flame King Zhao family, and the Red-Clothed Fairy of the Mortal Dust Squad, this is going to be interesting."
… …
The crowd discussed animatedly, clearly believing this would be a closely contested fight.
"A group of ignorant people," Tianpeng said coldly.
"Hmm? Tianpeng, do you have any thoughts on this battle?" After chatting for a while, Luo Hongyan had changed her address for Tianpeng from 'Daoist Tianpeng' to just 'Tianpeng'.
"One-sided!"
Tianpeng only uttered these three words before falling silent.
He had used all his strength to barely keep up with Miss's pace, how could a mere Zhao Yan possibly be Miss's opponent!
