Seeing Ye Wushuang’s puzzled expression, Xiao Yuan finally explained, “Chu Qingcheng was an orphan from a young age, taken in by an elder of the Chu clan. As she grew, her innate talent for cultivation became apparent, earning her the admiration and favor of the Chu clan’s powerful figures.”

“Upon entering the Qingyun Academy, she studied the art of formations and, within just three years, ascended to the rank of a first-tier spiritual formation master. Her extraordinary abilities drew the attention of many, both within the academy and from the other powerful families in the capital. They all sought, either openly or covertly, to recruit her into their ranks.”

“However, since Chu Qingcheng is not of the Chu clan’s bloodline, the clan is deeply concerned that she might become a weapon in the hands of another family once she reaches her full potential. Thus…” Xiao Yuan’s voice trailed off with a bitter smile, “the Chu clan has decided that once Chu Qingcheng reaches the Yuanfu realm, she will be married to Chu Tian Shen.”

So that’s how it is!

Xiao Yuan then turned to Ye Wushuang and asked, “Do you know Chu Tian Shen?”

Ye Wushuang shook her head.

With a hint of awe in his voice, Xiao Yuan said, “He truly is a god among men!”

Seeing Xiao Yuan’s expression, Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Don’t laugh,” Xiao Yuan quickly added, “I’m serious. From the moment he was born, he was extraordinary. Before he was even ten, he awakened his bloodline powers. Now, at just nineteen, he has already reached the Yuanfu realm.”

“At the Tianyuan Academy of Qingyun, he is among the top students. I remember when I had just begun my martial path, I witnessed him in action. At that time, he was only in the early stage of the Ningshou realm. With just one punch, he severely injured four other young geniuses of the same realm from the Qin, Shang, Liu, and Xiao clans who were renowned alongside him.”

As he spoke, Xiao Yuan couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. That scene, though long past, was still etched in his memory, so vivid and unforgettable.

Then, turning to Ye Wushuang, he continued, “At that moment, I believed no one in the Qingyun Empire could match him. Until now, that is, when I met you.”

Seeing Ye Wushuang’s smiling gaze, Xiao Yuan quickly added, “But don’t get too complacent. You’ve only just begun your cultivation this year, and there is still a gap between you and him.”

Ye Wushuang walked with her hands behind her back, her expression calm. “No problem. In a few months… the gap will be on his side.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Qing Chengtian arrived, beaming with joy. “Xueqi is fine now! That Fuling Ointment is truly miraculous!”

“As long as she’s fine,” Ye Wushuang nodded.

Xiao Yuan continued the earlier conversation, “Wushuang, actually, if you want to make the Chu clan unhappy, you could…”

“What do you mean?” Ye Wushuang asked.

Xiao Yuan coughed slightly, “You could… take Chu Qingcheng to bed and annoy those people in the Chu clan!”

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang’s expression became odd.

“Xiao Yuan, I never expected you to be so mischievous. You always seem so stern and serious, but inside, you’re quite the troublemaker.”

Caught off guard by Ye Wushuang’s comment, Xiao Yuan’s usually stern face turned red. He coughed again and said, “I think this is something you should do!”

“You…”

The three of them were walking toward the residential area when suddenly, two figures appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

Seeing the man and woman, Qing Chengtian and Xiao Yuan quickly bowed in respect.

They were the Inner Court Elders, Shangguan Rong and Bu Chenfeng.

“Ye Wushuang, come with us!” Shangguan Rong said irritably.

“Uh, where to?” Ye Wushuang asked.

“Where do you think?” Without another word, Shangguan Rong grabbed Ye Wushuang’s arm and in a few flashes, they disappeared.

In a short while, the three figures reappeared in a valley. Inside the valley, Li Changqing was still practicing a sword technique.

“Uncle Changqing, we’ve brought her!” Shangguan Rong said irritably.

“Hmm, good,” Li Changqing stopped his practice and looked at Ye Wushuang with a stern expression. “You little rascal, I ordered you to reflect on your actions in the Qingliao Tower, and yet you keep refusing me?”

“I sent Shangguan Rong and Bu Chenfeng to your Ye Mansion to bring you back, and you had the audacity to let your servant attack them?”

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang coughed and said, “I just… didn’t finish what I was doing and didn’t have time to come…”

Didn’t have time?

Upon hearing this, Li Changqing raised his sword, but seeing Ye Wushuang’s calm expression, he slowly lowered it.

“Uncle Changqing…” Seeing this, Shangguan Rong was displeased.

A few days ago, the two of them had gone to the Ye Mansion to summon Ye Wushuang back to the Qingyun Academy. Not only did they fail to see her, but they were also brutally beaten and driven away by the Tian Gang realm servant of the Ye Mansion.

Li Changqing had promised to help them vent their anger, but now… he didn’t seem to have any intention of punishing Ye Wushuang!

Li Changqing coughed and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely help you teach her a lesson.”

“However, you two should leave first. I have something else to discuss with Ye Wushuang.”

Shangguan Rong and Bu Chenfeng reluctantly left the valley, casting resentful glances at Ye Wushuang as they went. As Inner Court Elders and high-ranking Yuanfu realm cultivators of the Qingyun Academy, they had been humiliated in front of the Ye Mansion.

Seeing them leave, Li Changqing looked at Ye Wushuang and said with a sigh, “You see, if I don’t give you a beating, they won’t feel satisfied.”

“Go ahead and hit me!” Ye Wushuang stood there, making no attempt to dodge.

Just as Li Changqing was about to strike, Ye Wushuang added, “If you hurt me, I’ll go to Chi Yuan and Chi Xuan!”

Hearing this, Li Changqing stumbled, staring at Ye Wushuang with gritted teeth…
