Everyone remembered that the thing that had just been said, replied: “Demonic Sect replaced it because of the matter of Jade Mountain Stage (1).”
Jade Mountain Stage.
The second time Ye You heard someone mention this name, curiously asked: “What happened at Jade Mountain Stage?”
“This is a long, complicated story. When the Demonic Sect came to the Central Plains in the past, they were very arrogant. Also seeing them to be a perverse trend, many people called them Demonic Sect…” A 30-year-old hero in the crowd opened his mouth to say.
He put in order the main threads and said, “But that’s all a little bit of trouble. The real cause is that the Demonic Sect and the ones in the Five Lakes and Seven Sects have fought and were sorted out. The seven factions all have a close relationship. After calculating the accounts, the results was they were sorted out again, and other helpers were called for, but they were beaten too. Not waiting for them to have movement again, Sect Master Ye first single-handedly found the Alliance Master and asked for a statement. The two groups set up a meet at Jade Mountain Stage.”
“At that time, it was very troublesome. Orthodox Path was afraid of the Demonic Sect. Most of them went. Who would have known that there are only five people in the Demonic Sect side, only five people.” The knight couldn’t help but click his tongue. It was a faint longing for the taste, but he did not say anything after all, and took a sip of wine.
He continued, “The first sentence Sect Master Ye said that day was he heard some people in Orthodox Path like to say something when they are not in the enemy’s home. ‘To deal with this kind of demon head, you don’t need to talk about the righteousness of the Jianghu. Let’s all go together,’ the Alliance Head has always been highly respected. This is unreasonable.”
Ye You laughed, and secretly changed he would certainly do the same, and asked: “And then?”
The hero said: “For others the Alliance Master need not speak, he will certainly not do that, and then Sect Master Ye begin to reason with them.”
Another person interjected: “Yes, Sect Master Ye's mouth was too fierce, saying that they are originally Central Plains people, but is now merely bringing some foreigners' friends back home. If they are not welcome, that should be the end of it. But everyday they also point at their noses and call them Demonic Sect. Furthermore, they bully, mad dogs are not so shameless, but also Demonic Sect have not stolen your house's steamed bread and did not burn your house, but repeat again and again they are evildoers, please have some evidence first. People from the Five Lakes and Seven Sects say they extinguished entire family, and the result Sect Master Ye's smiled and asked a few words, finding their arguments full of loopholes. At that time, their faces are ashen.”
Ye You asked: “How long has this been?”
“5-6 years, it happened when they first came.”
Ye You's heart was on alert, on the surface he admiringly said: “The memory of the hero is really good, this matter you remember for so long.”
Everyone waved their hands: “The main reason is that this paragraph was listened to through the art of song-storytelling. It will be backed up after listening to it a few times, but it is said that what Sect Master Ye said is more teeth-gnashing than this, and furthermore part of the Orthodox Path that believed in the rhetoric of the Five Lakes and Seven Sects followed to help and were all damaged by Sect Master Ye, and their expression were all unsightly.”
Ye You understood.
“Furthermore, Sect Master Ye said that there must be a statement about this. He couldn't be scolded by Orthodox Path for this long, so there should be a martial arts tournament that decides. Three victories of five matches. If they lose then they will apologize and leave, Orthodox Path loses, then in the future they should not be like mad dogs and start business when there is none. Demonic Sect brought five elders, and the result was a five-game total victory.”
Ye You asked: “Sect Master Ye did not make moves?”
“Well, some people originally wanted to fight with Sect Master Ye, but Sect Master Ye said that they are strong, and who can match the Sect Master. As long as his subordinates lose one match, he will personally go to the next match, but what a pity…”
“But I heard that after the five games were over, there was a swordsman who was not convinced and wanted to fight Sect Master Ye. At that time, a group of people did not see how Sect Master Ye moved. When he returned to his senses, Sect Master Ye had already flashed to behind him.”
“Oh, yes, it seems that there is such a thing. Fortunately, Sect Master Ye did not kill, otherwise the swordsman would not even know how he died. Once others saw, they would not dare to act rashly.”
“Then they left?” Ye You said. “But if they win, why does Orthodox Path call them a Demonic Sect? Isn’t it said they haven’t done anything evil? Is it possible that Sect Master Ye turned the name of the school into Demonic Sect?”
The people said with a smile: “Noble son has guessed right, during the martial arts tournament, a Demonic Sect Elder heavily injured someone, and for a time Sect Master Ye was guilty, to make up for it, he decided to change the name of their school into Demonic Sect, hoping that person will feel a little better.
Ye You smiled and thought that the personality of this Sect Master Ye seemed to be a bit like him. Shixiong said that he has been missing for many years. Can't he be Sect Master Ye?
Everyone said: “To tell the truth, Demonic Sect is very nice sounding, at least better sounding than before.”
Ye You asked: “What was it called?”
Everyone said: “Yellow Gold Sect.”
“…” Ye You ate the thought that had just flashed in his mind moments ago. He secretly thought it might not be so, that he could extract such a name, even if he is playing, he will not take this.
Then he is in line with the character of Sect Master Ye, so he entered the Demonic Sect?
Can he be the kind of person who will follow others?
Um… If this Sect Master Ye is really impressive, it is not impossible.
The more people drink, the more they open up. They discuss that Sect Master Ye is nine feet tall and strong like a ox. He can stab people to death with one finger. Ye You listened very emotionally. He called a few pots of wine and began to ask for something else. Seeing that they had a question and must answer, in a moment he was happy to drink two glasses at the same time, so quick that Knife-Scar Man couldn't stop it and could only take the cup away.
The group of people drank until the sky was all darkened and one by one took their leave.
There are lanterns hanging on the streets. People come and go, it is still very lively.
Ye You stepped onto the stone bridge and saw a round moon on the river. He was about to look at the beautiful scenery. He only heard not far away there was a "crash" water sound. He looked over and found three people standing under the bridge. They are all dressed up as scholars, and there is still a person in the water flopping.
“This time I will give you time to learn your lesson, but the next time we hear you say malicious words about Lord Wang, I, your father, will cut your tongue!” The tone of the scholar is quite inconsistent with his body's outfit, and his temper is very violent.
Knife-Scar Man also glanced at him and said: “This dress is the person of Dingtian Academy.”
Ye You said: “Dingtian Academy?”
Knife-Scar Man said: “It is a Jianghu school, built in Suzhou, not far from the Wang family, their Principal Ge and Lord Wang are friends for many years.”
Ye You recalled during the day the people he saw at the lobby. He seemed to hear his family’s Shixiong call a Principal Ge, and nodded. “How far is it?”
“It is separated by a river.” Knife-Scar Man said and pointed, referred to it for him.
Ye You turned his head to size up the river's opposite shore's imposing academy, his heart faintly flashed through a thread of thought, made a “Hm” noise.
When they returned to the Wang family, Wenren Heng had already returned from Manor Lord Wei's, and didn't know who he was talking to. Ye You had not yet entered the house. He heard his shixiong sigh and sighed: “Seeking I have found, but I now my shidi is looking like this. How can I take care of anything else for the time being? The matter of getting married has to be let go first."
Ye You: “…”
Knife-Scar Man: “…”

This was previously mentioned as "stage of Yushan" in Chapter 3 part 2. Yu = Jade, Shan = Mountain. I will fix inconsistencies later.
I loved this chapter part.
