The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3219 - 3214: What Do You Think You Are?_1

Yang Chen offered a relaxed smile, effortlessly retrieving a seven-colored glaze stone and offering it to Honglian without hesitation.

"Here's a seven-colored colored glaze stone—please take it, Senior Sister Honglian," Yang Chen stated.

Elder Honglian froze in shock for an instant, her scarlet lips agape in astonishment, appearing utterly captivating.

She struggled to process the moment unfolding, fixing her gaze on the seven-colored colored glaze stone with widened eyes. "Young Master Yang Chen, you... you're truly handing me the seven-colored colored glaze stone just like that? With no conditions attached?"

Yang Chen replied, "As I mentioned earlier, these gifts are for the esteemed seniors present, and I won't demand anything back."

"This..." Elder Honglian remained in disbelief even now.

Yang Chen chuckled and added, "Senior Sister Honglian, feel free to voice your thoughts openly."

Honglian let out a light giggle in response. "Very well, I'll be direct then. Initially, witnessing Young Master Yang Chen barring all those Heavenly Fate Realm powerhouses from entering, I figured you had an eccentric nature and securing a seven-colored colored glaze stone would prove challenging. Yet, surprisingly, it was this straightforward."

"It's straightforward if you call it that, yet challenging in another sense," Yang Chen remarked.

"How so?" Honglian fluttered her eyelids curiously.

Yang Chen explained, "By distributing these seven-colored glaze stones, what am I after? Respect, of course. I, Yang Chen, hold no debts to anyone. If these mighty figures arrive yet behave arrogantly, assuming I owe them these stones, what's your view, Senior Sister Honglian? Should I hand over the seven-colored glaze stone or not?"

His words carried no restraint, plainly directed at the Heavenly Fate Realm experts lingering outside.

To claim the seven-colored glaze stones, they ought to display fitting respect at minimum. Yet they persisted in their haughty demeanor—did they expect Yang Chen to yield like soft clay?

"Senior Sister Honglian chose to wait patiently outside and even called me her junior brother. What more could Yang Chen possibly want? That suffices entirely. Naturally, my swift agreement stems in part from Senior Brother Gu Jianchou's glowing words about you." Yang Chen continued.

At those words, a blush colored Honglian's delicate features. "That cheeky fellow said nothing flattering to my face, yet he went gossiping about me behind my back."

Noticing the flush on Honglian's cheeks, Yang Chen realized her bond with Gu Jianchou ran deeper than mere acquaintance.

He refrained from probing further, and Honglian graciously took the seven-colored glaze stone, speaking softly. "Junior Brother Yang Chen, should you ever require assistance down the line, don't hesitate to seek me out. I won't boast excessively, but if a sect maiden catches your interest, I'll ensure to lend a hand."

Yang Chen grinned. "Count on it."

Honglian departed with a soft, warm smile.

As she exited, the Heavenly Fate Realm experts beyond couldn't suppress their jealous glares.

Who could resist envy at acquiring a seven-colored glaze stone with such ease? Rumors had spread that King Yuanyang had visited earlier, only to depart without one.

Witnessing this exchange, the handful of Heavenly Fate Realm experts exchanged uneasy glances, uncertain who ought to step inside first.

At last, an elder in white robes with flowing sleeves and a scarred visage from the Heavenly Fate Realm ventured into the chamber.

Upon entering, he skipped formalities, seating himself squarely opposite Yang Chen before declaring, "Yang Chen, I go by Thousand Autumns True Person. I'm a blunt sort. Truth be told, I'm quite eager for that seven-colored glaze stone and lingered outside. My words came out sharp and disrespectful. If Fellow Daoist Yang Chen took offense, this old man offers his apologies. Regarding the seven-colored glaze stone, I desperately require it. For 3 million years, I've been trapped at the world's embryonic phase, making no headway."

With that, Thousand Autumns True Person let out an involuntary sigh.

Yang Chen absorbed his words quietly, then produced the seven-colored glaze stone and offered, "Please take it, senior."

"This... Brother Yang Chen, are you seriously presenting it to me?" Thousand Autumns True Person sensed joy crashing over him abruptly. Why hadn't he and the other Heavenly Fate Realm experts charged in sooner?

They understood full well their initial conduct had irked Yang Chen, rendering any forceful entry pointless—he likely wouldn't yield.

He'd simply aimed to test his fortune. Never did he imagine Yang Chen would consent so readily.

"Senior humbled himself to share these sentiments, which overwhelms this junior. Of course, I must offer the seven-colored glaze stone," Yang Chen replied smilingly.

Such phrasing allowed Thousand Autumns True Person not just to save face and claim the seven-colored glaze stone, but also to depart elated.

"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Brother Yang Chen, no more words needed. From here on, I regard you as a true friend!" Thousand Autumns True Person boomed with laughter. "I won't impose further. Until we meet again!"

With others still queued outside, Thousand Autumns True Person avoided delay, securing the seven-colored glaze stone before exiting.

Once Thousand Autumns True Person had gone, Ye Fengyi became the next to stride in.

Ye Fengyi entered with a woeful expression plastered on, yet cleared his throat upon arrival, clasping hands behind his back as he intoned, "Fellow Daoist Yang Chen, I confess our prior encounter soured things. Today, I extend my regrets to you."

Despite the apology, Ye Fengyi avoided meeting Yang Chen's gaze entirely.

Yang Chen saw right through the facade and responded coolly, "Senior Ye, kindly depart."

Ye Fengyi's expression twisted sharply at this. Midway through his supposed remorse, his features soured once more into a scowl as he snapped, "Yang Chen, what's the meaning of this? For this old man to stoop and make amends with you already shows restraint. Are you singling me out on purpose?"

After all, Thousand Autumns True Person had just obtained the seven-colored glaze stone and exited moments prior.

Only upon observing that did he steel himself to mimic the approach.

Securing the seven-colored glaze stone would make any future betrayal inconsequential—what did a momentary humiliation matter? He could always pin the embarrassment on Yang Chen later.

To his shock, not only did he suffer the indignity, but Yang Chen showed zero willingness to part with the seven-colored glaze stone!

In that instant, he bellowed accusations, charging Yang Chen with intentional malice.

Clasping his hands behind his back, Yang Chen replied calmly, "Senior Ye, if you choose to see it that way, I have no retort. That said, perhaps Senior Ye ought to reflect on your own demeanor prior to offering apologies. You haven't once met my eyes, yet claim to atone with me? Is this genuine remorse? I suspect that should I hand over the seven-colored glaze stone now, you'd swiftly betray me. Regrettably, I won't be providing it to you, senior."

"You!" Ye Fengyi exploded in rage. "Yang Chen, weigh the fallout of crossing me!"

Yang Chen scoffed. "Ye Fengyi, do you overestimate yourself? I, Yang Chen, boldly challenge the Grand Abyss Palace, slay Mo Wanchou, and defy the Spirit Separation Ancestor—pray tell, what significance do you hold?"
