The incident back then was meant to be a joke, but who knew the members of the Ye family were waiting for the perfect chance to dispose of Ye Chen Yuan, and jumped on the opportunity the first moment they got. They intentionally forced the blame of the matter on the wrong person and had him thrown out of the house.
Otherwise, who would believe that an eight-year-old child without spiritual Qi could overpower and kill a Foundation Building cultivator?
Ye Lei didn’t dare to be rude to Gu Qing Ke and was taken aback by her words, which all the more heightened his hatred for Ye Chen Yuan. “Why did you return only now, was it to usurp my position as Clan Head? If you want to be the head of this Ye family, it depends on whether the members will even acknowledge you as one!”
Ye Chen Yuan directed a disdainful stare toward him, somewhat taunting. The Ye family’s power is only abundant in the Tidal Country, a mere second-class country. Obtaining the position as head of the family may sound most desirable, but the truth of the matter is that their jurisdiction doesn’t reach beyond this insignificant second-class country, incomparable to even a fraction of the Empire’s power. Ye Chen Yuan didn’t want a single cent from the Ye family. Meanwhile, Elder Li, as knowledgeable as he is, nearly spat blood in fury, “Where does this old fellow’s holier-than-thou attitude come from? The Myriad Sword Sect where you trained is equivalent to half the Empire as far as strength is concerned. And although your master is a young child, her identity alone is more noble than the Empire’s Princess! Like you would need anything that old foggy has to offer. If you were to let him see all the treasures you’ve accumulated in the Sky Pearl, wouldn’t he just drop dead in shame?”
Ye Chen Yuan spoke to Ye Lei fixedly, “You think too much, I didn’t come here for any of your worthless belongings. Several years ago, my mother was forced into remarriage by the likes of you. Who did she marry back then?”
His mother has always been a long-standing thorn in Ye Chen Yuan’s heart. He no longer remembers the bits and pieces of memories he used to share with his mother when he was five years old, but what he does remember was that she was urged by force to remarry. Now that he has the strength, he should save her from those dire straits, and bring her back home with him.
The cultivators who took his mother back then had been at the Foundation Building stage. It was said that she’d been married off to an Elder Lord at Nascent Soul, who’d soon breathe his last due to his age. But he didn’t know exactly where she was sold off to, after all, there were over twenty-nine possible first-class countries.
As soon as Ye Lei realized that Ye Chen Yuan had come to find that wench, his eyes narrowed and filled with greed. Since Ye Chen Yuan dared to step through the door with such arrogance, that must mean he has a great deal of fortune. In that case, he should take this chance to seize his fortuitous success!
Thinking to himself, he snickered.
“It’s her good fortune that your mother could be looked upon by a Venerable Nascent Soul cultivator. Why should I tell you about her whereabouts?”
Ye Chen Yuan was aware of what he was hinting at, so he reached into his straight sleeve and withdrew a jade bottle, which he put on the table. “How about a Grade Four Enhancement Pill in exchange?”
With his fingers on the table and eyeing the person in front of him anxiously, Ye Lei couldn’t help but glance at his wailing son. Holding the jade bottle in his hand, he indignantly asked, “Where did you get this from?!”
Ye Chen Yuan doesn’t look like the type of person who’s able to afford a fourth-grade pill!
Who knew Ye Chen Yuan would be so calm, instead smiling and saying, “I’m a Grade Three Pill Master. Aren’t I able to refine Fourth Grade Pills every now and then?”
“That’s impossible!” Not only was Ye Lei stupified, but Gu Qing Ke, on the other side, was also stunned! Throughout the entire Tidal country, there’s only two Second Grade Pill Masters, and they are both elderly people. It’s almost impossible to advance to Grade Three of Pill Refining in an entire lifetime, yet how can Ye Chen Yuan not only be a Third Grade Pill Master but also be only fourteen years of age? How can that be possible?! He refused to believe it, so, seeing his dubiety, Ye Chen Yuan extended his hand, motioned with his fingers, and conjured a white flame above the tip of his finger. He withdrew several medicinal herbs from storage and tossed them into the flame. And when the flames ignited, the components synthesized into an elixir with a spherical shape to it. Before long, a total of nine High Grade Meditation Pills, which were revolving around the tips of his fingers, was complete.
In an instant, the entire pavilion was filled with the ethereal scent of a high grade pill, sweeping every person present off their feet! Even the gravely injured Ye Wei, who was lying on the ground, forgot his wailing and looked on with a dumbfounded gaze at the unbelievable pill refining skills being displayed.
Only by being proficient at fusing and refining are you able to refine pills without needing the addition of a pill furnace. Such a sophisticated technique of refining pills out of thin air, not to mention a Third Grade, even a Fifth Grade Pill Master can’t do it!
After Ye Chen Yuan revealed his hand, the expression Ye Lei directed toward him became more and more avaricious!
One in a million, this person is a walking treasure trove!
If Ye Chen Yuan is imprisoned, kept in captivity, and forced to refine pills day in and day out, then the Ye family will undoubtedly be able to join the class of a First Rank Country!
For Ye Lei, who longed for power and position, who’d been searching for a method to advance to a First-Rank Country but had no means for which he could achieve that, to see Ye Chen Yuan at a time like this, it was like seeing a ray of hope for the first time! He closely examined Ye Chen Yuan, but found that he couldn’t discern his cultivation. It’s likely that he brought some magic tool to help conceal his cultivation base, but Ye Chen Yuan is only fourteen. No matter how talented he is, he should, at best, only be in the higher levels of the Qi Condensation realm. After all, a Third Grade Pill Master doesn’t need much cultivation to support him, so he refused to believe it transcended beyond that.
How powerful can Ye Chen Yuan be! If he attempts to seize him right this instant, he is 99% sure of the chances of success!
And, as if he didn’t notice anything, Ye Chen Yuan smirked and unhurriedly asked, “Can you tell me where my mother is now?”
Even long before ancient times, an iota of jewels, gems, and other riches were highly riveting, not to mention a vast heap of them?
As Ye Lei gazed at him, his expression gradually took on a more devious light.
“How dare you steal my Ye Family’s pill! Come, arrest this sneak thief for his treachery!”
In the blink of an eye, there were a dozen people who besieged Ye Chen Yuan, three of which were Foundation Building experts, and the rest were Qi Condensation cultivators. This was quite the predicament!
Gu Qing Ke was aware of the crisis they were in and the anguish it would cause Ye Chen Yuan if he was captured, so she jerked him away and said, “Escape, I’ll deal with them!”
Having said that, Gu Qing Ke began to release her energy, and the Ye family was stunned as they realized that she, who was also only fourteen years old, had already reached the Late Stage of Foundation Building! This is just awful!
Ye Lei’s face changed into one of aggravation and fury!
“You are actually at the Foundation Building realm? And the late stages at that?!” But all these years, she’s only shown strength akin to the Qi Condensation stage!
Gu Qing Ke openly sneered, “When living in a place where double-faced wolves gather, who wouldn’t keep some cards of her own? Chen Yuan gege, you should get going, we’ll definitely meet again.”
Ye Chen Yuan stood in frozen stupefaction before he returned to his senses. He hadn’t thought that Gu Qing Ke was in the Late Stage of Foundation Building, but he thought that perhaps every person has their own tales and motivations?
Ye Chen Yuan shook his head. “You don’t have to do this for me.”
After all, they didn’t have that close of a relationship when they were younger. It really wasn’t necessary for her to endanger herself to protect him.
Gu Qing Ke’s beautiful face was slightly reddened, so she dared not look at him.
“I couldn’t save you back then. This time, I’m not going to allow them to torment you again!”
“Good!” After Ye Lei’s initial devastation, he was struck with laughter. “Our Ye family has served you delectable homemade meals and drinks, offered you the finest tools and items, and raised you from young, only for you to have turned out a white-eyed wolf1 all along! Wait until I take down Ye Chen Yuan, and then I’ll deal with you personally! It just so happens that my son has been fond of you for the longest time, so you’ll stay and become his concubine. I’m sure the Gu family won’t have any qualms about marrying off an unfilial daughter like you!”
“Then let’s see if you have the skill to do so!”
Gu Qing Ke scoffed coldly, withdrew her magic weapon from storage, and charged toward Ye Lei with killing intent!
At the same time, Ye Lei loudly ordered, “Don’t you mind me! Just worry about capturing Ye Chen Yuan! You absolutely must take him!” The instant his voice fell, the pavilion flared with all sorts of spiritual auras en masse. With a deafeningly loud crash, the door entrance was smashed to smithereens as the Ye family cultivators gave chase to Ye Chen Yuan and poured into the courtyard.
The incident back then was meant to be a joke, but who knew the members of the Ye family were waiting for the perfect chance to dispose of Ye Chen Yuan, and jumped on the opportunity the first moment they got. They intentionally forced the blame of the matter on the wrong person and had him thrown out of the house.
