Chapter 168: Chapter 168: How Can a Sparrow Understand the Ambition of a Swan?

Ye Qingfeng’s actions naturally made An Yang quite displeased.

An Yang immediately put on a stern face and said in a deep voice: "Are you mocking me for running away, Brother Chen?"

"No, definitely not, Brother An Yang, don’t misunderstand..."

Ye Qingfeng repeatedly waved his hand.

Of course, he didn’t reveal the reason for his laughter.

"Then what do you mean, Brother Chen?"

Hearing Ye Qingfeng’s denial, An Yang’s expression improved a lot.

However, he still pressed on, asking why Ye Qingfeng laughed.

"You misunderstood, I wasn’t laughing; when I heard about that Intermediate Spirit Beast, I got scared and then choked on my drink, which is why I had such an expression."

Ye Qingfeng explained.

With that, An Yang became less agitated.

If Ye Qingfeng had been mocking him, it would have been a slap in the face in front of everyone, and An Yang would definitely challenge Ye Qingfeng to a duel.

"Brother Yang, he’s probably right; I don’t think he dares to laugh."

"After all, when he entered the Monster Beast Desolate City, he only dared to kill some Basic-level Mortal Beasts. He probably hasn’t even heard of the Fire Eyes Iron Arm Ape, naturally he would be scared."

Qingtian continued to look at Ye Qingfeng with a contemptuous gaze.

"Exactly, a guy who probably doesn’t even qualify as a Martial Artist wouldn’t know anything. He must have been scared!"

The mercenaries who came with An Yang naturally chimed in.

They couldn’t sense any spiritual power fluctuations from Ye Qingfeng.

He seemed just like an ordinary person; how could they not be sarcastic?

"Since Brother Chen has no ill intentions, let’s not blame him. Perhaps he really was frightened."

An Yang waved his hand generously, drawing another round of praise from the crowd.

As for Ye Qingfeng, everyone treated him like an inconspicuous minor character and forgot about him.

Ye Qingfeng’s lips curved into a slight arc, but he didn’t argue.

This was just a small interlude.

Once again, under the expectant eyes of the crowd, An Yang began recounting some of his experiences in the Monster Beast Desolate City.

"Brother Chen, are you alright?"

While everyone else distanced themselves from Ye Qingfeng and moved closer to An Yang, a graceful figure sat down beside Ye Qingfeng.

"I’m fine! I actually find this atmosphere quite enjoyable!"

Ye Qingfeng truly didn’t mind and even found it somewhat amusing.

"Brother Chen, you really are special! If it were an ordinary Martial Artist being excluded like this by everyone, they’d probably be angry enough to leave."

Su Jingying’s lips parted slightly, looking particularly beautiful under the firelight.

"I wouldn’t call it exclusion! In the heart of every young Martial Artist, there’s a dream of fiercely battling powerful Demon Beasts. Now that someone has set such an example, encouraging them to move forward, I think it’s great!"

Ye Qingfeng smiled calmly.

The mindset of an Immortal Venerable was beyond the grasp of these ordinary Martial Artists.

In his previous life, he had witnessed the trials of the Three Realms, the extinction of stars, and all clans coming together.

How could he care about such petty jealousies?

The vision of the Nine Tribulations Immortal Venerable encompassed more than just the Martial Artist Base or the Monster Beast Desolate City.

Not merely the entire Earth, but the Great Thousand World, rising to Immortal Veneration, ultimately becoming a Divine Sovereign, wielding the stars and uniting all clans.

As the saying goes, how could a sparrow understand the aspirations of a swan? It’s nothing more than that.

"Brother Chen’s heart is truly open-minded; with such a mindset, you are bound to stand at the pinnacle of the Martial Arts path in the future."

Listening to Ye Qingfeng, Su the Chief couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe.

He hadn’t expected Ye Qingfeng, who looked so young,

to remain calm and composed amid everyone’s exclusion and even feel happy that these young Martial Artists now had a goal.

This was not the demeanor of a young person but rather the heart of a Martial Arts master.

However, from Ye Qingfeng’s performance along the way, it seemed he was still a Martial Artist of a relatively low realm.

"Wow! Father, you hold Brother Chen in such high regard."

Su Jing covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes wide as she looked at Ye Qingfeng.

In response, Ye Qingfeng merely smiled back.

He didn’t pay it much heed.

Su the Chief did not probe further into Ye Qingfeng’s identity.

Shortly after, he went straight to the tent that had been set up.

"Brother Chen, don’t be so modest. My father rarely praises anyone."

Su Jing said with a smile on her delicate face.

She also agreed with her father’s words; Ye Qingfeng gave her a different feeling from other young people.

However, Su Jing couldn’t feel any trace of spiritual power fluctuations from Ye Qingfeng.

Therefore, she also believed that even if Ye Qingfeng was a Martial Artist, he was one with not a high Martial Arts realm.

"The pinnacle of Martial Arts?"

Ye Qingfeng grinned, a flash of light in his eyes.

What he referred to as the pinnacle of Martial Arts was not merely Earth’s legendary supreme War God Martial Artist.

But rather, the pinnacle of Martial Arts in the entire Great Thousand World.

In other words, rising to Immortal Veneration.

"Brother Chen, did you laugh earlier?"

After chatting a few lines, Su Jing loosened up a bit and playfully asked.

"What laugh?"

Ye Qingfeng asked, puzzled.

"Earlier, when Brother Yang mentioned the Intermediate Spirit Beast, everyone was shocked, but you were laughing!"

Su Jing teasingly looked at Ye Qingfeng, a smile appearing on her alluringly beautiful face.

"How could it be! Didn’t I say before, I was scared..."

Ye Qingfeng replied.

An Intermediate Spirit Beast, comparable to an Intermediate War General strongman, would only cause Ye Qingfeng slight apprehension.

After all, in the Monster Beast Desolate City, he had evaded the dangers of the Beast Tide and myriad beasts.

An Intermediate Spirit Beast indeed could no longer exert much pressure on him.

"I don’t believe it. I was watching you the whole time, Brother Chen. Your smile seemed to be mocking Brother Yang... Should I tell everyone about this and see how you explain it then?"

Su Jing displayed a mischievous smile.

Her lovely face adorned with dimples like pear blossoms, was extremely charming.

"I admit, I laughed earlier, but please, don’t say anything, or I’ll have to explain again, and it’s a bit of a hassle."

Ye Qingfeng originally thought Su Jing was a gentle and elegant girl.

Yet, after getting to know her, he didn’t expect this playful side.

"Haha! So it’s true! But have you ever seen the Fire Eyes Iron Arm Ape, Brother Chen? Is this kind of demon beast really that funny-looking?"

Su Jing appeared like a curious baby, probing into Ye Qingfeng’s earlier behavior.

"Such a formidable demon beast; how could I have seen it? I just thought of some funny things that made me laugh..."

Ye Qingfeng covered with a few words.

He hadn’t seen the Fire Eyes Iron Arm Ape before, but he had seen a more powerful King Beast.

The Flame Demon Eagle, he had seen.

Seeing Su Jing still seemed ready to ask more questions.

Ye Qingfeng quickly interjected: "Su Jing, you said you were watching me the whole time earlier, may I know why?"
