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 could only think that Ye Wushuang had gone mad. Did he really believe that by helping Qingyun Pavilion once, he could 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 Ye Wushuang would leave, and who would save her father’s life? Even the fourth-rank spiritual alchemists from Jujian Sect were at a loss regarding her father’s condition!
The situation was now extremely delicate, yet Ye Wushuang had little patience to wait any longer.
“Um…” At that very moment, Tang Tianyou struggled to sit up and said bitterly, “May I say something?”
Ye Wushuang turned to Tang Tianyou, his tone softening. “Go ahead and say whatever you want.”
Tang Tianyou looked at Ye Wushuang with gratitude in his eyes. “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 hailed as a genius alchemist within the Ye Clan? Tang Tianyou was utterly astonished. The name Tang Wenchuan was extremely well-known among alchemists in the Qingyun Empire, with countless aspiring alchemists regarding this legendary figure as their role model. Although Tang Wenchuan was one of the eighteen guards of Ye Wentian, his status was by no means inferior to that of a clan leader.
I… I am actually a descendant of Tang Wenchuan! Tang Tianyou looked at Ye Wushuang in amazement. “So… that’s why you’re helping me?”
“Yes,” Ye Wushuang nodded. “Not only will I help you this time, but I will also personally teach you alchemy in the future, so that you can become a powerful spiritual alchemist like 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 Wuling Zhu, nor did I have any ill intentions.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang felt a pang in his heart. Tang Tianyou was just too kind! But in this world, kindness… was the cheapest of all virtues!
However, seeing the eager look in Tang Tianyou’s eyes, 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 moment, more than a dozen Qingyun Pavilion alchemists arrived one after another. The leader among them was none other than Cheng Yuanbai, the chief third-rank top-tier 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.”
On his way here, he had already learned everything. Cheng Yuanbai rushed to Ye Wushuang’s side and examined Tang Tianyou’s injuries, then said, “Fortunately, the injuries are not fatal…”
“If I had arrived any later, he would have been dead!” Ye Wushuang said coldly.
Cheng Yuanbai quickly smiled and said, “Young Master Ye, leave it to me. I will handle it and ensure that you are 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 intended to wait until Ye Wushuang had finished talking with Senior Mu Junli and Lady Qing Mengli before approaching Ye Wushuang to discuss alchemy.
However, before Ye Wushuang appeared, the Pavilion Master herself arrived.
Lady Qing Mengli had issued a strict order: From that day forward, all herbs, potions, and personnel of Qingyun Pavilion would be at Ye Wushuang’s disposal, and his status would be equivalent to that of the Pavilion Master!
This command had stunned even Cheng Yuanbai. What on earth had happened to prompt the imperial princess and the esteemed Pavilion Master to issue such an order? It was certainly not just because Ye Wushuang had helped Qingyun Pavilion and humiliated Shengdan Pavilion.
But as a third-rank top-tier spiritual 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 left, he received a report that trouble had broken out here, and he hurried over immediately.
Seeing that the situation had not yet reached a point of no return, Cheng Yuanbai felt relieved. He then scanned the people in the courtyard…
