Ye Tian dealt with Magistrate Liu's enthusiasm.
He sneered inwardly, "Old fox, I know exactly what you're up to."

He observed his surroundings discreetly.
In addition to the servants of the Liu family, they discovered that there were many unfamiliar faces in the hall.

These people exuded an air of mystery, clearly not ordinary guests.

Ye Tian secretly became more vigilant; Magistrate Liu's plan was about to begin.

"Young Master Shi, what's wrong? You seem unhappy."

Liu Yiyi appeared beside Ye Tian at some point and asked with concern.

Today, she wore a gorgeous red dress, looking exceptionally beautiful and charming.

Ye Tian forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little uncomfortable in this kind of setting."

Liu Yiyi smiled and said, "It's okay, you'll get used to it eventually."

As she spoke, she gently took Ye Tian's arm, her eyes filled with tenderness and affection.

Ye Tian subtly withdrew his arm, maintaining a certain distance from Liu Yiyi.

Liu Yiyi's smile froze slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.

"The auspicious time has come!"

With a loud shout, the engagement ceremony officially began.

Ye Tian and Liu Yiyi arrived at the center of the hall under the watchful eyes of everyone and proceeded with the complicated ceremony as instructed by the master of ceremonies.

He was distracted throughout, his eyes constantly scanning the surrounding guests, looking for anything suspicious.

He noticed the unfamiliar faces halfway through the ceremony.

They quietly left the hall and disappeared without a trace.

Ye Tian thought to himself, "It seems the real show is about to begin."

Liu Yiyi looked at Ye Tian with deep affection: "Young Master Shi, we're getting engaged soon!"

"Ah."

Ye Tian responded indifferently.

They even raised a question that was extremely inappropriate.

"I'm the one being married, right? Shouldn't I get some dowry?"

Ye Tian's words caused an uproar throughout the room.

The guests began whispering amongst themselves, discussing the matter animatedly.

"What's wrong with this kid? Demanding a bride price at the engagement ceremony? That's so rude!"

Some people whispered, "Could it be deliberate sabotage? Judging from this, something bad is likely to happen at today's engagement party."

Magistrate Liu coughed awkwardly.

To ease the tension, he laughed and explained:
"Young Master Shi is too kind. We can discuss the matter of the betrothal gifts in private. Let's discuss it in private."

As he spoke, he subtly winked at Ye Tianshi, signaling him to stop talking about the topic.

Liu Yiyi's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she glared at Ye Tian with a mixture of shame and anger.

She lowered her head shyly and said, "Young Master Shi, what... what are you doing? So many people are watching!"

As Liu Yiyi spoke, she reached out and gently tugged at Ye Tian's sleeve.

Ye Tian ignored Liu Yiyi's reaction and walked straight to Magistrate Liu, extending his hand.

"Lord Liu, please explain the matter of the betrothal gifts in public so that everyone can witness it."

Magistrate Liu's face was ashen, and his eyes twitched slightly.

He took a deep breath, struggling to suppress his anger, and gritted his teeth as he said:
"Very well! Since Young Hero Shi insists, then I will agree to your request in public! Someone, go and fetch the betrothal gifts!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand forcefully, signaling his servants to fetch it.

Upon seeing this, several servants hurriedly went over.

A short while later, a servant came over with several storage bags and respectfully handed them to Magistrate Liu.

Magistrate Liu took the storage bag, forced a smile, and handed it to Ye Tian:

"Young Master Shi, this contains some blood coagulation and precious medicinal herbs. Consider it a small token of my appreciation." Ye Tian took the storage bag and examined it with his divine sense.

Although the storage bag was full of things, they were all worthless low-grade blood coagulation and common medicinal herbs.

This is completely inconsistent with the status and position of Magistrate Liu.

Ye Tian sneered in front of all the guests.

Throw the storage bag on the ground.

There was a muffled sound of "bang".

"Lord Liu, are you insulting me?"

Ye Tian questioned in an icy tone.

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire banquet hall.

The surrounding guests fell silent, all eyes fixed on Magistrate Liu and Ye Tian.

Magistrate Liu's face flushed red and then turned pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

His lips moved as if he wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to begin.

Seeing this, Liu Yiyi, who was standing to the side, noticed.

He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Ye Tian's arm, and whispered, "..."

"Since Young Master Shi doesn't like it, then forget it."

Her voice was pleading, and her face was full of anxiety.

Ye Tian gently shook off Liu Yiyi's hand, his gaze still fixed on Magistrate Liu.

"Lord Liu, you are the esteemed ruler of a county, yet you are so untrustworthy. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed if word gets out?"

Magistrate Liu took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed his anger.

He forced a smile: "Young Master Shi, you've misunderstood. I merely wanted to test your sincerity..."

In reality, what agreement was there?

All of these ideas came to mind on the spot, but Magistrate Liu had no choice but to cooperate with Ye Tian.

Ye Tian interrupted Magistrate Liu, letting out a cold laugh:
"Sincerity? Lord Liu, is your so-called sincerity just trying to fool me with this worthless rubbish?"

As he spoke, he kicked over the storage bag on the ground.

The contents were scattered all over the floor, making a clanging and clattering sound.

Magistrate Liu's face grew increasingly grim.

"Young Master Shi, what do you mean by this? I have only meant well, yet you are so rude. Do you perhaps look down on my daughter?"

Ye Tian met Magistrate Liu's gaze without flinching, his tone icy:

"Lord Liu, I know exactly what you're up to. Do you think I don't know what you've been secretly planning?"

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Liu was startled.

But he quickly covered it up, feigning composure as he said, "Young Master Shi, what are you talking about? This old man doesn't understand."

Ye Tian sneered:
"Don't understand? Then I'll make you understand!" he said, and the Taibai Immortal Sword appeared out of thin air in his hand. The sword emitted a dazzling white light, illuminating the entire hall.

Upon seeing this, the guests cried out in alarm and scattered in all directions.

Liu Yiyi turned pale with fright, clutching Ye Tian's sleeve tightly, and said in a trembling voice, "Young Master Shi, please don't be impulsive..."

Ye Tian grabbed Liu Yiyi's hand, and with a thought, pulled her into the spatial jade tube.

Then he turned to Magistrate Liu, his tone icy: "Lord Liu, do you have anything to say now?"

Magistrate Liu's face was terribly grim, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes as he shouted sharply, "Men, seize him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of men in black suddenly emerged from around the hall.

They surrounded Ye Tian. These men in black all possessed powerful auras; they were likely elite forces secretly trained by Magistrate Liu.

Seeing this, Ye Ying also jumped down from Ye Tian's shoulder.

She transformed into human form, standing beside Ye Tian, ​​fighting alongside him. (End of Chapter)
