Chapter 3508 Reluctantly

Qin Nan also grasped the crux of the problem and jumped up, "Hurry and return the token to us, or Immortal King will not let you off; he will certainly uphold justice for us!"

The surrounding crowd was noisy. Although they were in the black market, they understood the rules for opening the Purple Firmament Immortal Pool very clearly: Immortal King level powerhouses are not allowed to snatch tokens.

"It's over. Although this Young man is powerful, he will ultimately have to return it."

"From what I see, he doesn't have much strength at all; he's just a Great Spirit Immortal who relies on that little loli Immortal King!"

"It's a pity he touched the rules of the Purple Firmament Immortal Pool; he'll have to return the token to them in the end."

These people were discussing animatedly. Ye Bufan looked at the ring, paused, then smiled again.

"Since that's the case, then I'll return it to you!"

With that, he waved his hand, and two tokens flew out.

Xu Banqing and the other man grabbed the tokens, finally letting out a long sigh of relief, and at the same time, feeling immensely proud.

After all, they had seized the opponent's weakness and retrieved the tokens, which could be considered a small victory.

But just then, Ye Bufan stepped in front of them, extended his hand, and said, "Come, come, hand the tokens to me!"

"No!"

Xu Banqing and the other man both put the tokens behind their backs. Although these items were in their hands, they actually belonged to the Sect, and the consequences of losing them would be unimaginable.

The key was that they had used the rules to restrict Xiao Qing, and this Young man in front of them could not possibly be their opponent, so they would ultimately be able to keep the tokens.

"You won't give them, huh!"

Ye Bufan chuckled, "Beat them!"

As soon as his voice fell, Xiao Qing rushed forward again, pressing the two men to the ground and giving them a brutal beating with punches and kicks.

The two men screamed miserably from the beating, howling and shouting.

"Kid, what do you want to do? If you violate the rules like this, Immortal King will punish you…"

Ye Bufan looked at them mockingly, "What you're saying is wrong. He's only beating you; he hasn't snatched the tokens. This doesn't violate the rules of the Purple Firmament Immortal Pool!"

"Uh!"

At this, Xu Banqing and the other man were dumbfounded. What he said was right; Xiao Qing was only beating them now and hadn't touched the tokens.

The surrounding crowd was also flabbergasted, never expecting such a maneuver.

As an Earthling, how could their ability to find logical loopholes compare to Ye Bufan's?

He stood by, grinning, just waiting for the two to voluntarily hand them over. "How about it? Have you thought it over now? Do you want to hand the tokens to me?"

"You're dreaming!"

Xu Banqing and Qin Nan gritted their teeth in hatred, but no sooner had they spoken than Xiao Qing's fist arrived.

In a flash, the two men were beaten into a sorry state, with countless bones broken throughout their bodies.

Seeing that their lives might not be saved if the beating continued, the two had no choice but to bow their heads and beg for mercy.

"Stop hitting us! I'm willing to hand over the tokens!"

As Great Luo Immortals, being forced to hand over their tokens filled them with frustration and anger, yet they were utterly helpless.

Ye Bufan squatted down, looking at the two men with a mischievous smile, "You're giving these to me voluntarily; no one is snatching them."

Looking at the face full of mischievous smiles in front of him, Xu Banqing wished he could rush up and tear the other party to shreds.

But he only dared to think about it. Xiao Qing, an Immortal King level powerhouse, was glaring at them from the side. He probably wouldn't even touch a single hair on the opponent's body before losing his own life.

Helplessly, he could only nod with a bitter face, "It's my own free will!"

Ye Bufan smiled again, "I didn't force you, did I?"

"No, no, we are willing to give them."

The two men had completely lost their temper from the beating.

"Since that's the case, I'll reluctantly keep them for you!"

Ye Bufan said, collecting both of their tokens.

"Alright, hurry up and get lost; you're an eyesore here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two men felt as if they had been granted a great pardon and immediately turned and ran.

Losing the tokens, such a significant matter, absolutely could not be concealed. They had to find the Sect Master as soon as possible and demand the tokens back.

As they left, Ye Bufan turned to the little guy Great Luo Immortal beside him and casually tossed out a Spirit Treasure Medicinal Pill: "Can you sell it to me now?"

"Yes! Yes!"

The little guy Great Luo Immortal no longer had his previous composure and arrogance. He quickly handed over the three sea-blue fruits, took the Medicinal Pill, and turned to leave.

His strength was at most similar to Xu Banqing's, and he couldn't even take one move from Xiao Qing. It was already a great fortune that his things weren't snatched.

With the matter concluded, the onlookers slowly dispersed, and the area returned to its previous state.

At the city gate, Zhao Ya pouted, holding Mu Lanzhi, looking displeased.

"What a terrible place! Nothing they make tastes good; it's all terribly unpalatable!"

Mu Lanzhi shook her head, "You, you've just been spoiled by Young Master Ye!"

Zhao Ya said, "Can you blame me? Young Master Ye's food is simply delicious; everything else is trash and can't compare at all!"

Fan Kun followed beside them, listening to the two women constantly mention Young Master Ye, Young Master Ye, feeling extremely annoyed.

Although he was a bit older, already over six hundred years old, this was nothing among Immortals, especially with his Great Luo Immortal cultivation.

Precisely because of this, as a man, he still harbored a faint fantasy about Mu Lanzhi and Zhao Ya.

Previously, he felt his status and strength were insufficient, but now he was about to enter the Purple Firmament Immortal Pool, and his cultivation would greatly advance then.

If he could reach the Great Luo Immortal Peak, then he would have the qualifications to propose to the Sect Master—at least, that's what he believed.

However, just as a glimmer of hope arose in his heart, the two women kept mentioning another man, which gradually sparked a hint of dissatisfaction in him.

"Junior Sisters, what do you think of this chicken leg? This is the signature dish of the chef at the Rich and Noble Restaurant!"

To please these two Junior Sisters, he had gone to great lengths, having just spent a lot of money to buy this dish, which he presented to them like a treasured offering.

He had expected to make the foodie Zhao Ya beam with joy, but to his surprise, the little girl frowned, looking disgusted.

"What is this? And you have the nerve to say a great chef made it? Do you understand what 'color, aroma, and taste' means?

It has no color, no taste, no aroma at all. It clearly doesn't taste good; take it away quickly!"

"This…"

Fan Kun was filled with frustration. The grand meal he had gone to such trouble to get was not even given a glance by them.

This made him unconsciously resent that Young Master Ye. He didn't even know who he was, yet he had turned the two little princesses into this state.

Mu Lanzhi said, "Alright, let's go stroll around the black market. It might help clear our minds."

With that, she took Zhao Ya out of the city gate and walked towards the black market.

Suddenly, the little girl pointed ahead, her face full of excitement, as if she had discovered a new continent: "Senior Sister Mu, look! It's Young Master Ye!"

Mu Lanzhi followed the direction of her finger and saw that tall figure.

A look of pleasant surprise involuntarily bloomed on her face; she hadn't expected to meet him here.

Without a greeting, both of them simultaneously rushed forward, quickly arriving in front of Ye Bufan.

"Senior Brother Ye, I've seen you again!"

Zhao Ya, pulling Mu Lanzhi, stood in front of Ye Bufan, her face beaming like a flower.
