As the sound of Ye Wushuang’s voice faded, the expressions of Mu Qiqi, Qing Shihua, and others changed dramatically. Wu Xuan, Wu Ao, and the rest thought Ye Wushuang had gone mad. Did he really believe that just because he had helped Qingyun Pavilion once, he could now act with impunity and do as he pleased?
Mu Qiqi, however, looked troubled. To kill? These were all second-rank spiritual alchemists from Qingyun Pavilion! Not to kill? Then who would save her father’s life? Even the fourth-rank spiritual alchemists from the Jujian Sect were at a loss when it came to her father’s condition!
The situation was delicate at this moment, but Ye Wushuang was in no mood to wait any longer.
“Um…” At that very moment, Tang Tianyou propped himself up and sat with a bitter expression, asking, “May I say something?”
Ye Wushuang turned to Tang Tianyou, his tone softening, and said, “Go ahead and speak your mind.”
Tang Tianyou looked at Ye Wushuang with gratitude in his eyes and asked, “What do you mean by saying that our ancestors had a close relationship?”
Ye Wushuang patiently explained, “My ancestor was Ye Wentian of the Ye Clan in Qingyun Empire, and your ancestor was Tang Wenchuan, one of the eighteen closest guards to Ye Wentian.”
Tang Wenchuan! The Tang Wenchuan who was once known as a genius alchemist in the Ye Clan!
Tang Tianyou was utterly astonished for a moment. The name Tang Wenchuan was extremely well-known among alchemists in the Qingyun Empire; countless alchemists looked up to this legendary figure as a role model. Although Tang Wenchuan was one of the eighteen guards of Ye Wentian, his status and influence were by no means inferior to that of a family patriarch.
I… I am actually a descendant of Tang Wenchuan!
Tang Tianyou looked at Ye Wushuang in amazement and said, “So… that’s why you’re helping me?”
“Yes,” Ye Wushuang nodded and said, “Not only will I help you this time, but I will also personally teach you alchemy in the future, so that you can become as powerful a spiritual alchemist as your ancestor.”
Tang Tianyou’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
“Master Ye, I… I didn’t mean to kill them…” Tang Tianyou said again, “But I need to prove my innocence. I didn’t drug Wu Lingzhu, nor did I have any ill intentions.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang felt a pang of pain in his heart. Tang Tianyou was just too kind! But in this world, kindness… was the cheapest of all virtues!
However, looking into Tang Tianyou’s eyes, filled with longing, Ye Wushuang slowly nodded. “Alright.”
Tang Wenchuan was already dead! Ye Wushuang did not want Tang Wenchuan’s descendants to suffer any more hardships.
At that very moment, more than a dozen alchemists from Qingyun Pavilion arrived one after another. The leader among them was none other than Cheng Yuanbai, the chief third-rank top spiritual alchemist of Qingyun Pavilion.
Master Cheng Yuanbai arrived in a great hurry and quickly said, “Young Master Ye, don’t worry, don’t be impulsive. Let’s talk this through calmly.”
He had already learned everything on his way here. Cheng Yuanbai rushed to Ye Wushuang’s side, bent down to examine Tang Tianyou’s injuries, and then said with relief, “Fortunately, he’s not seriously hurt…”
“If I had arrived any later, he would have been dead!” Ye Wushuang said coldly.
Cheng Yuanbai quickly smiled ingratiatingly and said, “Young Master Ye, leave it to me. I’ll handle it and ensure you’re satisfied, alright?”
Ye Wushuang nodded slowly. Seeing Ye Wushuang’s nod, Cheng Yuanbai finally let out a sigh of relief.
In fact, after the morning’s events had concluded, he had originally planned to wait until Ye Wushuang had finished talking with Lord Mu Junli and Lady Qing Mengli before approaching Ye Wushuang to discuss alchemy.
However, before Ye Wushuang could appear, the Pavilion Master herself arrived. Lady Qing Mengli had issued a strict order: From that day on, all herbs, all pills, and all personnel of Qingyun Pavilion were at Ye Wushuang’s disposal, and his status was to be equivalent to that of the Pavilion Master!
This command had stunned even Cheng Yuanbai. What on earth had happened to make the imperial princess, the revered Pavilion Master, issue such an order? It was definitely not just because Ye Wushuang had helped Qingyun Pavilion and humiliated the Saint Pill Pavilion.
But as a third-rank top alchemist who had served in Qingyun Pavilion for many years, Cheng Yuanbai had deeply understood one thing from the Pavilion Master’s words: Ye Wushuang was someone not to be provoked!
As soon as the Pavilion Master had left, he received a report that trouble had broken out here, and he had rushed over in a panic.
Seeing that the situation had not yet reached a point of no return, Cheng Yuanbai felt reassured. He then scanned the people in the courtyard…
