“Ye Chenxing, you are a dignified Spirit Technique Master, standing at the pinnacle of power. Why are you so fixated on my family’s Ran’er?” The Su Family Ancestor furrowed his brows.

“Ran’er?”

“Are you referring to Su Ran?”

Ye Chenxing sneered as he looked at the Su Family Ancestor.

“What do you mean by that?” The Su Family Ancestor was puzzled.

“This girl is unusual. Can your Su Family truly give birth to such an extraordinary daughter?”

“But none of that matters anymore. Soon, she will be in my hands.”

“Allowing your Su Family to continue existing in Huangwu City is already a great favor from me.”

Ye Chenxing laughed heartily.

However, as time passed, Ye Chenxing did not receive news of Su Xiangwu and the others delivering Su Ran to him. Instead, a spy from the City Lord’s Mansion, who was planted in the Su Family, arrived.

“Senior, something unexpected has happened at the Su Family.” The spy knelt on the ground and reported, “Huangwu City’s noble, Chen Yang, suddenly appeared at the Su Family’s residence and protected Su Ran and the others.”

“Chen Yang?”

Ye Chenxing’s brows furrowed upon hearing the name. His voice turned cold. “He alone can stop so many people from the Su Family?”

“Senior, according to the latest information, during the battle for the Black Copper Mine rights this morning, Chen Yang defeated the Lin Family Ancestor.” The spy continued, “So, Su Xiangwu and the others are certainly no match for Chen Yang.”

“A Half-Step True Spirit Master?” Ye Chenxing’s face darkened. He had not anticipated this development.

“Tell the City Lord to take action personally. Ensure that Su Xiangwu seizes control of the Su Family and, most importantly, captures Su Ran alive.”

Ye Chenxing waved his sleeve decisively.

“Ye Chenxing, Chen Yang is a specially recruited student of Silvermoon Academy and a future City Patrol Envoy. Do you really want to provoke trouble for the City Lord’s Mansion?” The Su Family Ancestor clutched at this hope like a lifeline, speaking hastily.

“City Patrol Envoy?”

“He must live long enough to become one first.”

Ye Chenxing had already made up his mind. He would capture Su Ran and eliminate Chen Yang, who had possibly stolen a few of his top-grade spirit stones in the past.

“Understood, Senior!” The spy, seeing that Ye Chenxing’s decision was final, immediately left.

The Su Family Ancestor sighed helplessly. Even with the Suspended Grass in his possession, he was still no match for the Spirit Technique Master before him.

“Don’t hold on to false hope!”

“Su Ran is mine!”

“If the Su Family surrenders and cooperates with the City Lord’s Mansion, only then will you have a place in Huangwu City.”

Ye Chenxing leisurely poured himself another cup of tea. Although Chen Yang’s interference was an unexpected variable, he still believed everything was under his control.

The Courtyard Where Li Zhong Resided
At this moment, Su Teng and Su Wan rushed over, demanding to see Chen Fei.

Li Zhong informed them that Chen Fei was not there, but the two of them forcefully pushed him aside and barged into the courtyard.

Instead of seeing Chen Fei, they encountered a handsome man in luxurious robes, exuding an elegant demeanor.

“Who are you?”

“Where is Chen Fei?”

“Tell him to come out now!”

Su Teng and Su Wan shouted angrily.

“Where did these unruly children come from?” The elegant man, holding a folding fan, suddenly became irritated. With a casual flick of his fan, a powerful gust of wind infused with spiritual energy surged forward, sending both of them flying.

“Mr. Qingyi, my sincerest apologies. My young masters are not home, and these people were rude to you.” Li Zhong hurried over, apologizing to the elegant man.

Su Teng and Su Wan, feeling sore from the impact, stared in disbelief at the unfamiliar yet powerful man.

“Where is your eldest young master?” The man in blue, who introduced himself as Li Qingyi, asked Li Zhong again.

“I truly do not know…” Li Zhong, unclear about the man’s intentions, naturally wouldn’t reveal his young master’s whereabouts.

“Senior, are you looking for Chen Yang?” Su Teng and Su Wan suddenly had an idea. This man’s strength was unfathomable. Perhaps they could use him to deal with Chen Yang and solve the problem of Su Ran being taken by their father.

“You know where he is?” Li Qingyi’s gaze flickered with interest.

“Yes!”

“We can take you to him!”

Su Teng and Su Wan eagerly nodded.

“Good!” Li Qingyi nodded with satisfaction. “Lead the way.”

Li Zhong, seeing this unfold, felt a wave of unease and quickly followed them.

Meanwhile, Lu Yijun Was on His Way to the Su Family
Carrying gifts, he headed toward the Su Family residence. His goal was to see if he could exchange something for the Suspended Grass.

However, upon arriving, he was stopped outside the gates. The Su Family was heavily guarded.

Under normal circumstances, Lu Yijun would have left rather than force his way in.

But today, he had a request to make, and the Su Family’s heightened security indicated that something major had occurred.

Perhaps, this was an opportunity. If he could help the Su Family, he might be able to secure the Suspended Grass more easily.

Thus, he decided to take a risk. As a Ninth-Rank Grand Spirit Master and a prodigy of Silvermoon Academy, the mere guards of the Su Family were no obstacle to him.

With a light move, he sent them flying. However, he controlled his strength, ensuring they weren’t harmed.

The guards could only watch helplessly as Lu Yijun forced his way in, before they scrambled back to their posts.

Once inside, Lu Yijun grabbed a servant and demanded to be taken to Su Ran and Chen Fei.

With a sword at his throat, the Su Family servant had no choice but to comply, leading Lu Yijun toward Chen Fei’s marital courtyard.

Arriving there, Lu Yijun was surprised to see his junior being besieged by Su Family members.

“Hmm?”

Lu Yijun looked on curiously. Wasn’t his junior related to the Su Family? Why were they attacking him?

“Junior, your senior is here to assist you!”

Lu Yijun didn’t know what was happening, but since he saw his junior under attack, he naturally sided with him.

Su Xiangwu and the others had hoped to overwhelm Chen Yang with sheer numbers.

But now, seeing that a Ninth-Rank Grand Spirit Master had joined in, their hearts turned cold.

This was supposed to be a Su Family matter, yet first, an unexpected Chen Yang interfered, and now, a top prodigy from Silvermoon Academy had arrived.

“Is heaven itself aiding Su Xiangran’s family?” Su Xiangwu’s heart sank.

From the moment Lu Yijun appeared, Su Xiangwu knew he had to retreat. He quickly withdrew with the Su Family members.

“Senior, what are you doing here?” Chen Fei was surprised to see Lu Yijun. He suddenly recalled that Lu Yijun had mentioned wanting to visit his ‘brother’ and Su Ran.

“I came to visit your younger brother and sister-in-law,” Lu Yijun said, smiling wryly. “But seeing the Su Family in a state of emergency, I was worried something had happened, so I barged in.”

“What exactly is going on?” Lu Yijun looked at Chen Fei, puzzled.
