Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 44: You Are That Ye Chen!
"Let’s go and take a look," Ye Chen said immediately after discovering the commotion.
He didn’t care if it was someone from the sect who was in trouble; all he needed was some excitement.
"How dare you sell fake things to me! Do you know who I am?"
"Humph! I sold you the real things, and everyone saw it! If you keep accusing me, then I will inform the guards to take you away.
"Haha! Why don’t you call the guards, then let me see if they can save you from selling fake things?
Two people shouted at each other; one of them was Zhang Hua, a young man at the age of eighteen, donned in a purple luxurious robe.
While there was Zhao Hai, a bulky young man from the Azure Cloud Sect.
Just a while ago, he had sold a few things to Zhang Hua very happily, as he was the first customer.
But he didn’t expect him to come back after a few minutes, claiming the things he had sold were fake.
"Hey, what’s happening here?" Ye Chen questioned a nearby male disciple.
The male disciple thought someone came to watch the excitement, so he didn’t think too much and replied without even looking at him.
"Heh, that Zhang Hua is deliberately causing trouble. Not only him but the other disciples of the Frostfire sect are also trying to make things difficult for Azure Cloud sect disciples.
"Oh really? Why are they doing that?"
"What? Don’t tell me you don’t know what happened two days ago? It is said that a boy named Ye Chen is the secret husband of sect master Jing Xiao. This made many people jealous, and one of them is the sect master of the Frostfire Sect."
"He had been chasing sect master Jing Xiao for a long time, but she had never cared about him. She even rejected and humiliated him ruthlessly in front of everyone a year ago."
"However, that guy just won’t give up; even after marrying a few wives, he is still dreaming of her. I am pretty sure he must have instructed his disciples to cause trouble for the Azure Cloud Sect because of this, the male disciple explained with a nauseating look.
Hearing him, Ye Chen and the two girls were stunned. Then their expression became strange.
"Hey brother, you better just watch and not get involved in this. The Frostfire Sect is the second-grade sect; although not powerful, it still has some say." The male disciple kindly reminded and continued to watch the excitement.
"By the way, have you heard of Ye Chen? There are a lot of rumors about him; some say he is handsome beyond heavens, and some say he is ugly. Do you know how he looks?" The male disciple inquired.
From the start to finish, he had never glanced at Ye Chen, so he really didn’t know that the person in question was just beside him.
"Zhao Hai! Give me back my money and apologize to me; if not, don’t blame me for being ruthless!" Zhang Hua threatened with a cold look.

Hearing him Zhao Hai’s face turned black, and just as he was about to retort, sounds of applauding rang out.
Everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but become fixed on the handsome young man with a smile.
The male disciple beside him also looked at him with a shocked look. Although he had never seen Ye Chen, he knew he must be handsome.
Thinking of what he said just now, his heart couldn’t help but tighten. He wasn’t afraid of Ye Chen, but if he really is the husband of Jing Xiao, then things are different.
"Who are you?! How dare you applaud like this, kneel down, and apologize?" Zhang Hua shouted with jealousy as he saw Ye Chen’s handsome appearance and the two beauties beside him.
Hearing him Ye Chen chuckled lightly and walked forward.
"Didn’t your sect master tell you who I am?" He questioned with a faint smile.
"You are that Ye Chen!" Zhang Hua shouted with an incredulous look.
He had never thought that he would meet Ye Chen here. The onlookers who didn’t recognize him before also displayed shocked expressions.
In their eyes, he was a legendary figure who managed to woo the sect master. No matter how bad the rumors were, the facts remained.
"Yes, I am Ye Chen, the one you speak of." Ye Chen nodded slightly and looked at Zhang Hua from top to bottom.
"I know that your master was cuckolded by someone, but isn’t it too petty to cause trouble for others like this?" he said with a disdainful look.
Hearing him, everyone’s expression turned strange, and Zhang Hua’s face turned black.
"Ye Chen! How dare you smear the reputation of the sect master! Take back your words now," he commanded with an angered tone.
However, all Ye Chen did was give him a disdainful look.
"Why should I take back my words? I know that he was cuckolded because I am a medicine master and could see there is another person’s yang Qi on him. Unless he sleeps with another man or his wife does, this kind of situation won’t happen."
"I have kindly reminded him, but he dares to take action against me. Do you really think I am a three-year-old child?"
"Or do you take me as an idiot who will believe that you are causing trouble because of some rumor? If that’s really the case, then your sect master must have lost his mind after being cuckolded," he responded with a sneer.
Hearing him, the onlookers suddenly looked at Zhang Hua with doubt. It was, after all, strange to cause trouble because of the rumors.
But if Ye Chen’s words are true, then it all makes sense.
"Don’t spout nonsense, Ye Chen! I have never heard of a sect master knowing you, and the sect master was never left alone when he was in the city, so there is no way he will meet you!" Zhang Hua retorted with an ugly look.
In response, Ye Chen shrugged his shoulders.
"If you don’t want to believe me, then you can question our sect master, Zhen Yunqi; she was there when that ugly man sneaked inside the Azure Pavilion to confirm the rumors spreading outside," he stated with a confident tone.
Hearing this, all the onlookers felt what he said was true; after all, the sect master won’t lie. Moreover, his medicine skills were there.
The more they thought about this, the more they felt that the sect master of the Frostfire sect was cuckolded.
"The sect master of yours must have even planned to kill me, right? He will first provoke everyone and get me out, then ask me to fight to the death with someone just to hide the fact of being cuckolded. A pity; now everyone knows about it," Ye Chen added with a shrug.
Hearing him Zhang Hua’s face was ugly. Ye Chen had brought his sect master out, and if it was really the truth, then he could guess why the sect master wanted to cause trouble for Azure Cloud Sect.
Of course, this was not the main reason. The sect master of the Frostfire sect visited Jing Xiao yesterday, and because she didn’t deny the rumors, he made his move.
It’s not like anyone was getting killed, so he didn’t think it would be a problem.
But of course, how could Ye Chen allow him to do this? The disciples of the sect made contributions and brought back a lot of things.
He could use them for increasing the divine area of the mountain; it would be idiotic if he didn’t stand up for them.
"Ye Chen, I don’t think what you are telling me is the truth! I will go back and bring the sect master; just wait here," Zhang Hua stated and hurriedly ran back.
This matter was not something he could handle. If he had been allowed to fight, then he would’ve killed him a thousand times.
However, this was the mystic city; even the first-grade sect will have to think before making a move, not to mention a second-grade sect like them.
"S-senior brother, let’s go back and tell the master about this," Li Mei said anxiously after knowing he was going to bring the sect master.
Lan Ming also agreed with this.
However, Ye Chen shook his head.
"There is no need; also, let’s go. We should see what these inner stalls are selling," he replied calmly and walked forward, bringing the two girls with him.
He wasn’t afraid of the sect master coming and killing him because the treasure market had few powerhouses to protect, and they were enough to suppress the sect master of the second-grade sect and even the first grade.
This was what Zhen Yunqi had told him that night, so he didn’t worry about the revenge. Moreover, he already knew there were some life-saving inscriptions drawn by her on their bodies.
Even Lan Ming got one yesterday, so there was no need to think too much.
Just as Ye Chen left, the onlookers finally started to talk about what happened. True or not, they didn’t care and hurriedly spread the news.
Soon half of the city knew that the sect master of the Frostfire Sect was cuckolded.
