“Of course I’m happy!” Feng Lan said with a chuckle. “The pattern of the Qingyun Empire, with the royal family and the five great families, has been in place for far too long. And now, even the Qingyun Academy has been mired in the chaos and corruption caused by the five great families. I’ve long been discontented with this situation, but unfortunately, there was nothing I could do. Even the Xingyun Sword couldn’t uproot the influence of the five great families within the academy.”
“But now, a turning point has emerged,” Feng Lan continued, her eyes twinkling with anticipation. “As long as Ye Wushuang stirs up enough trouble and muddies the waters, anything becomes possible…”
She affectionately pinched Chu Qingcheng’s pretty face and said with a smile, “Moreover, the Chu family actually wanted my precious apprentice to marry their so-called genius, Chu Tian Shen. What an insult to my apprentice!”
“After this, if Ye Wushuang can get his hands on Chu Tian Shen and eliminate him, that would be for the best!” she added with a hint of satisfaction.
“Ah?” Chu Qingcheng exclaimed in surprise. “But Chu Tian Shen is already at the peak of the Yuan Fu realm, while Ye Wushuang has only just entered the Yuan Fu realm…”
“Moreover, Master, this matter can’t be kept a secret. So many people know about it…” Chu Qingcheng voiced her concern.
Master Feng Lan, however, dismissed the worry with a wave of her hand. “Whether it can be kept a secret depends on whether Qing Muyuan and Yun Xingjian want to keep it a secret.”
With that, the great battle came to an end.
As Chi Yuan carried Ye Wushuang and the others back to the capital, night had already fallen. When Chi Yuan’s massive form landed in the backyard of the Ye Mansion, Liu Yuemei, Ye Qingfeng, and Ye Feifei were all awakened by the commotion.
They rushed to the backyard, and even He Bo, the butler, looked bewildered at the sight of the figures descending from Chi Yuan’s back. What on earth was going on?
“Master!” He Bo exclaimed in alarm upon seeing Ye Wushuang, whose body was covered in alarming wounds.
“Uncle He…” Ye Wushuang instructed, “Tell the servants not to leave the house for now.”
“Master, you…” He Bo began, but was interrupted by a voice of astonishment.
“Uncle He?” The voice trembled as He Bo looked at the person beside Ye Wushuang. After a long moment, he stammered, “Th… Third Master…”
He Bo stood there, stunned. Third Master was alive?
“Shuang’er…” At that moment, Liu Yuemei, Ye Qingfeng, and Ye Feifei from the front yard arrived as well.
“Shuang’er, you…” Liu Yuemei covered her mouth in shock at the sight of Ye Wushuang’s bloodied white clothes.
“Brother!” Ye Feifei’s face turned pale with worry.
Only Ye Qingfeng remained relatively calm. He knew the immense responsibility and danger his nephew was facing.
Ye Qingfeng looked at the dozens of people and asked, “Wushuang, who are these people?”
Ye Wushuang forced a smile and said, “They are the surviving members of our Ye clan.”
Surviving members? Ye Qingfeng gaped at the more than thirty people.
“Uncle, take them to clean up and settle in first. We’ll talk about the details later,” Ye Wushuang said.
“Alright!” Ye Qingfeng immediately began to organize things.
“Wang Min,” Ye Wushuang called out.
“Here,” Wang Min responded promptly.
Ye Wushuang looked at him and said, “You can’t stay at the Tianji Mansion anymore. If you want to follow me, it’s up to you to prove yourself.”
“Understood!” Wang Min immediately turned to Ye Qingfeng and said respectfully, “Uncle Ye, if there’s anything you need done, just command me.”
“Good!” Xiao Yuan, Wang Xueqi, and Qing Chengtian also stepped in to help Ye Qingfeng, Liu Yuemei, and Ye Feifei settle the clan members. Fortunately, the mansion was large enough with plenty of rooms, so it wasn’t difficult to accommodate everyone.
“He Bo!” Ye Wushuang called again.
“Master!” He Bo responded.
“Take Yunzhe and follow me,” Ye Wushuang instructed.
Ye Wushuang, Ye Yunzhe, and He Bo headed toward the rear courtyard.
“He Bo, inform Pengyuan, Wenyuan, and Chengtian to come over,” Ye Wushuang added.
“As you command,” He Bo replied and hurried off.
Inside the room, only Ye Yunzhe and Ye Wushuang remained. Ye Yunzhe, who looked no more than sixteen or seventeen, still couldn’t believe his eyes.
“Brother?” Ye Yunzhe called out uncertainly.
“Mm-hmm…” Ye Wushuang nodded.
With a thud, Ye Yunzhe knelt down on the ground.
