Xu Qiuyuan had not even finished speaking when he was stunned to see his usually calm and unflappable father react so dramatically.
“Father, what’s wrong…?”
Xu Wenyuan, however, grasped his son’s shoulders tightly and demanded, “Is this truly something that Ye Wushuang personally condensed and asked you to bring to me?”
“Yes…”
Xu Qiuyuan was bewildered.
What on earth was going on?
He was utterly confused.
Meanwhile, the main hall master, Wang Pengyuan, and the third hall master, Lei Chengtian, also sensed that something was amiss with Xu Wenyuan.
Wang Pengyuan’s voice was soft yet sinister as he asked, “Second brother, what’s the matter?”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Xu Wenyuan turned around, grabbed Wang Pengyuan’s hand, and his body trembled as he spoke in an incredulous tone, “He’s back!”
At that moment, Wang Pengyuan and Lei Chengtian were utterly astounded.
Then, Wang Pengyuan immediately stepped in front of Xu Qiuyuan and shouted, “Where is Ye Wushuang?”
Xu Qiuyuan was so frightened that he blurted out, “He’s waiting at the residence my father gave me…”
*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…*
However, before Xu Qiuyuan could finish his sentence, the three figures—Wang Pengyuan, Xu Wenyuan, and Lei Chengtian—had already vanished from the hall like fleeting shadows, leaving Xu Qiuyuan standing there, bewildered and disoriented.
What was happening?
Ye Wushuang was strange.
His father and the two uncles were even stranger!
But then, Xu Qiuyuan suddenly paused.
Could it be… that his father, seeing Ye Wushuang’s talent in array formation, was in such a hurry to become his disciple?
That was unacceptable!
His father couldn’t compete with him for a master!
Xu Qiuyuan quickly chased after them…
In the eastern district of the city, within the Ye residence.
Ye Wushuang had been waiting for less than half an hour when a gentle breeze suddenly swept through the courtyard. Immediately afterward, three figures appeared silently.
Xu Wenyuan gazed at the young man sitting calmly in the courtyard, hesitating and extremely nervous.
“Since you’re here, come and have a chat!”
The young man’s voice slowly echoed from the pavilion.
Xu Wenyuan glanced at Wang Pengyuan and Lei Chengtian beside him, then nodded slowly and walked forward…
The three figures entered the pavilion and took their seats.
At that moment, Ye Wushuang also looked at the three of them.
Wang Pengyuan’s face was half-covered with a veil, his eyes pale gray. Xu Wenyuan was even more extreme, with his entire face covered, leaving only his eyes exposed. Only Lei Chengtian revealed his true appearance without any concealment.
However, as Ye Wushuang’s gaze fell upon them, his hands on the table trembled involuntarily. He wanted to speak, but his voice choked with emotion.
“Hall Master Wang Pengyuan.”
“Hall Master Xu Wenyuan.”
“Hall Master Lei Chengtian.”
Ye Wushuang tried to suppress his emotions and took a deep breath.
“Yuan Pengwang!”
“Xu Yuntian!”
“Tian Chengwen!”
“You… are still alive…”
In an instant, as Ye Wushuang’s words fell, the three powerful figures erupted with a terrifying aura that seemed capable of crushing him.
But at that moment, Ye Wushuang let out a bitter smile, his eyes moistening, and murmured, “I am… Ye Wentian!”
In that very moment, the three figures stood frozen in place.
Ye Wushuang continued, “Over five hundred years ago, Yuan Pengwang, you were just a petty thug in Qingtian City, loafing around every day. One day, your sister fell seriously ill, but you had no money to take her to the clinic. You resorted to stealing and were caught, nearly beaten to death. I saw you and saved you. You then clung to me, saying you wanted to repay my kindness.”
“Xu Yuntian, you came from the Xu family, which was originally a dominant clan in the region. But after your family was destroyed, you wandered to Qingtian City and entered the Qingyun Academy. However, you were still targeted and nearly killed within the academy. I saved you, and you said that from then on, your life belonged to me.”
“Tian Chengwen…”
Ye Wushuang spoke with a bitter tone, “Although you were not one of the Eighteen Question Heaven Guards, you were with me during the Qingyun Academy entrance exam. A first-stage spirit beast, a double-toothed leopard, bit your thigh, piercing through the bone. You almost died during the exam. I carried you on my back, evading the beast’s pursuit for hundreds of miles, and eventually healed your leg.”
“The scar might be gone, but there should still be a mark on the left side of your thigh bone…”
Hearing Ye Wushuang’s words, the three of them stood there, stunned and lost in thought.
