Li Cunxiao glanced at the generals and officers such as Qu He, Li Qing, and Li Guang, and chuckled, “I apologize for the trouble, but please wait here and ensure not a single person from the Ye family escapes!”
“Yes, sir!” Li Guang and the others bowed respectfully.
The chief eunuch, Li Shun, however, smiled and said, “All of you generals, please accompany me to the palace to see His Majesty!”
“It would be good if General Zhou were to come along as well,” Li Cunxiao nodded in agreement. “Having the witness present will certainly help.”
Thus, Li Cunxiao, leading dozens of generals and officers and carrying Zhou Yuanding, headed towards the imperial palace…
As for Ye Wushuang…
Li Cunxiao couldn’t care less.
The imperial decree had ordered Ye Wushuang to appear before the emperor. If Ye Wushuang dared to disobey, it would be considered defiance of the imperial will—a capital offense!
In that case, Li Cunxiao wouldn’t need to lift a finger; the emperor himself would deal with Ye Wushuang.
At this moment, the chief eunuch approached Ye Wushuang and said with a smile, “Young Master Ye, would you please come with me?”
Ye Qingfeng quickly stepped forward and said, “Shuang’er, you mustn’t go!”
Li Cunxiao was the grand commander of the Qingyun Empire and the current Marquis of Zhongxin, a man of great power and influence.
It was obvious whose side the current emperor would take!
If Ye Wushuang went along, it would be like entering the dragon’s lair and the tiger’s den—no return.
Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “It’s alright, Uncle. I’ll be back in no time!”
“Shuang’er…” Ye Qingfeng’s face turned pale.
He Bo stepped forward and bowed, saying, “I, your old servant, will accompany the young master. Sir, there’s no need to worry.”
“No need,” Ye Wushuang waved his hand. “I’ll go alone. I’m not comfortable leaving this place without you.”
He Bo immediately understood, nodded, and stepped back.
“Lead the way,” Ye Wushuang said.
As soon as his words fell, Qing Mengli’s voice came from the other side, “You can ride in my carriage!”
“Very well,” Ye Wushuang didn’t hesitate and directly approached Qing Mengli’s carriage, stepping inside.
Seeing that the spectacle was over, the surrounding warriors dispersed one by one.
Ye Qingfeng, however, looked worried and said, “What… what should we do?”
The imperial royal family!
If it were the Ye clan of old, they might not have feared at all, but the current Ye family couldn’t help but be afraid!
He Bo, however, bowed and said, “Sir, there’s no need to worry. Since the young master dares to go alone, he must be confident.”
Only then did Ye Qingfeng turn to He Bo and asked in astonishment, “He Bo, I’ve never asked you before. You used to be just an ordinary old man, but then you suddenly became a Ningmai realm cultivator, and later a ninth-level Ningmai realm cultivator, and now a Tian Gang realm cultivator. What… what exactly happened?”
He Bo scratched his head and said, “I don’t know either. I just suddenly had this tremendous power…”
“You and that brat are just hiding things from me!” Ye Qingfeng snorted. “Don’t I know him? If there really were some miraculous treasure that could instantly boost one’s strength by several or even dozens of times, he wouldn’t give it to you first instead of me, would he?”
He Bo chuckled nervously.
“Forget it if you won’t tell me!” Ye Qingfeng snorted again and left with a flick of his sleeve.
He Bo, however, sat calmly beside the stone lion at the entrance of the Ye residence, narrowing his eyes as if he had dozed off…
On the other side, Sheng Wufei had finally gathered some people and had just set off when he saw a Yuan Fu realm expert from the Sheng Dan Pavilion rushing back.
“Lord of the Manor, Lord of the Manor, don’t go…” Sheng Wufei was taken aback and asked discontentedly, “What’s the matter?”
The man immediately said, “In front of the Ye residence, that old servant of the Ye family is actually a Tian Gang realm cultivator. He almost killed Zhou Yuanding. If Li Cunxiao hadn’t shown up and gathered dozens of generals and officers, Zhou Yuanding would have been dead for sure.”
“What?” Sheng Wufei’s expression froze.
A Tian Gang realm old servant?
Where did the Ye family get a Tian Gang realm old servant from?
“That’s even more reason to go!” Sheng Wufei said immediately. “Li Cunxiao has great influence within the Qingyun Empire. If he’s involved, Ye Wushuang is definitely doomed. Even if I don’t take action, I must witness that little brat Ye Wushuang’s death with my own eyes!”
“It’s already too late, Lord of the Manor!” the man continued. “The Imperial Princess Qing Mengli showed up and stopped Li Cunxiao. The chief eunuch Li Shun even read the imperial decree…”
“What?” This time, Sheng Wufei was completely stunned.
