Just Want to Live a Good Life but Surpassed the Protagonist – 06 You Scold Again
In the afternoon, the competition was drawing to a close. Long Tian had won all the way to the end, just like in the novel.
At first, some people said that he was lucky, then they said that his opponents made mistakes, and finally they said that he had a green foundation, so it was normal for him to be able to win at the third and fourth levels.
Ye Yong shook his head helplessly as he listened to the discussions around him. This is the protagonist’s treatment. No matter how much the protagonist does, there will always be someone who jumps out to belittle the protagonist, suppress the protagonist’s limelight, and create a feeling that the protagonist is actually not that good.
What if it were Ye Yong? Others wouldn’t be able to praise him enough. They would only wish that he would be targeted sooner and die sooner.
Headache.
Ye Yong sighed silently.

“What’s wrong?” Liang Xiaorou paid attention to Ye Yong’s expression from time to time and saw that he seemed a little worried at the moment. “Are you worried about Ye Mao?”
“More or less.”
“Are you that afraid of him causing trouble?”
“Of course. The Ye family’s reputation can’t be ruined by him.” Ye Yong said indignantly.
“I’ll teach him a lesson?” a sword cultivator senior sister said.
“Yeah, since we are in the same hall, we can always discipline him.”
“No need to trouble you senior sisters.” Ye Yong shook his head. Relying on others was never a stable solution. Only by taking matters into his own hands could he change the situation in a timely manner. “I have a plan.”
“You can always count on us, don’t be shy.”
“Yeah, there’s no need to get too worked up over a brainless clansman.” This was said by the sword cultivator senior sister that Ye Mao liked.
Fortunately, Ye Mao was on stage competing and didn’t hear it, or his heart would have been broken. However, he caught a glimpse of that senior sister talking to Ye Yong, and he still felt furious, as if he had been cuckolded .
In a moment of distraction, he was knocked off the stage by an opponent at the tenth level of Foundation Establishment, losing his qualification to continue challenging opponents at higher levels.
Damn it! Ye Yong, just you wait!
Ye Mao’s resentment towards Ye Yong grew even stronger.
———
In the evening, Long Tiancheng stood out among the many disciples. With a cultivation base at the third level of Foundation Establishment, he defeated an opponent at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment. If this had happened to a young master of a large family, no one would have found it strange, but Long Tian was just a casual cultivator with no background before joining the Tianluo Sect.
Why was such an achievement only “relatively” remarkable? As mentioned earlier, there would always be passersby who would inexplicitly belittle the protagonist. The key was that the content of their belittlement was quite reasonable, and most people would agree with them. As a As a result, the protagonist would end up making a scene but not completely stealing the show.
If this were a novel, Ye Yong would definitely feel comfortable that the protagonist was showing off, and he would be upset with those who belittled the protagonist, thinking that they were snobbish and wanted the protagonist to show off even more to shut them up.
However, in reality, Ye Yong could only feel envious. Unlike him, even if he was just daydreaming, everyone around him would think that he was pondering over the next great battle to wipe out the demonic sect, and then they would shower him with extravagant praise.
Didn’t they know that this kind of atmosphere could easily make people arrogant and lose themselves, leading to disaster?
Fortunately, Ye Yong had read novels and knew his place, otherwise he would have really been led astray by others, thinking that he was amazing and the son of destiny, and he would have ended up confronting the protagonist and ending tragically.
“The test competition for new disciples of the Sword Pavilion Hall ends here.” With the announcement of the steward, the two-day new disciple competition came to an end.
Just as everyone was about to leave, Ye Yong suddenly shouted, “Ye Mao, stop right there.”
If it had been someone else, it wouldn’t have attracted much attention, but since it was Ye Yong who shouted, it was different.
Everyone stopped, wondering what had happened.
Ye Mao was stunned. He couldn’t help but wonder what he had done wrong. It seemed like he hadn’t done anything. Could it be that he had been holding a grudge because he had stared at Ye Yong a few times in the morning?
“What?” Ye Mao turned around and saw Ye Yong walking straight towards him.
A bad feeling.
“Is this the result of your two weeks of cultivation since joining the hall!?” Ye Yong came aggressively, seemingly very displeased.
“Yes, is there a problem?” Ye Mao’s voice lowered a little.
After taking the super spirit gathering pill that Ye Yong gave him, he had broken through from the sixth level to the seventh level. In the past two days, he had just stabilized his foundation, and he considered himself a solid seventh level Foundation Establishment cultivator . He was quite satisfied with himself. Now that Ye Yong questioned him like this, he suddenly lost some confidence.
“There is a big problem!” Ye Yong looked as if he couldn’t understand why. “Think about it yourself. What mistakes did you make during the battle!”
How would Ye Mao know? If he had to say, it was because the senior sister he liked was too close to Ye Yong, which had distracted him and caused him to lose.
But Ye Mao couldn’t possibly say this, so he hesitated. Although he was older and of a higher generation than Ye Yong, at this moment he looked like a grandson.
“Let me tell you what mistakes you made.”
Ye Yong had previously drawn a painting for Qin Shimeng that contained the sword intent of a Nascent Soul cultivator. To draw the sword intent of a Nascent Soul cultivator, he first had to comprehend the sword intent of a Nascent Soul cultivator himself. With the system store, this was not difficult at all. His understanding of the sword had long since reached the Nascent Soul level, just like his understanding of music and painting. It was higher than most of the cultivators present, so he was able to easily point out all of Ye Mao’s shortcomings during the competition.
The two stewards of the Sword Pavilion Hall were stunned. Because Ye Mao was Ye Yong’s cousin, they had been paying special attention to him. Some of the minor details of his sword techniques during the competition were exactly the same as what Ye Yong was saying now. To discover these details, they believed that Ye Yong’s understanding of the sword had at least reached the middle stage of crystallization. Such an outstanding talent, why didn’t he come to our Sword Pavilion Hall?
Ye Mao didn’t dare to breathe. He recalled the battle and realized that it was indeed the case. However, being lectured by his younger cousin in front of so many people made him feel very embarrassed.
“Before you entered the sect, I already taught you many times!”
What did you teach? When did you teach me? Ye Mao was about to speak, but when he saw Ye Yong’s angry eyes, he didn’t dare to say anything.
“You call yourself a genius of the Ye family! With this level of skill! You’ve wasted the cultivation of the Ye family elders!”
Ye Mao clenched his fists. If you keep scolding me, don’t think that I won’t dare to fight back!
“Your grandfather told me to take care of you. He hoped that you would become a dragon, but you are so careless and don’t reflect on your own mistakes. Aren’t you afraid that he will be heartbroken?”
He also said that you can beat me to death! Am I not heartbroken!
Ye Mao’s fists clenched tighter. If you scold me again, I’ll beat you up!
However, Ye Yong continued to scold him for a few more sentences. Other than clenching his fists, Ye Mao didn’t do anything else. He didn’t even dare to retort.
Seeing that his anger had accumulated to a considerable level, Ye Yong pretended to sighlessly and softened his tone, “I’ll give you a chance to challenge me. I won’t use any spiritual power. You can attack me however you want .”
Upon hearing this, Ye Mao raised his head abruptly, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
Could there be such a thing!?
He couldn’t wait to tear Ye Yong apart right now, and Ye Yong actually gave him a chance, and didn’t even use any cultivation. Wasn’t that equivalent to tying his own hands and letting others beat him up as they pleased ?
“Are you serious?” Ye Mao was overjoyed, suppressing the excitement in his voice, afraid that Ye Yong would go back on his word.
“A gentleman’s word is his bond.” Ye Yong walked onto the dueling platform with his hands behind his back, “Come on.”
