Chapter 18 Ye Xuan’s mother!

The Ye Family, Qing City.

The Ye Family’s glory days were in the past, or it should be said that the Ye Family almost disappeared from Qing City.

Previously when the Ye Family was in power, they had offended all the other families in Qing City. And now, the Li Family, the Zhang Family, and the Chatelain’s Manor got revenge on the Ye Family.

Almost all the territories and stores the Ye Family had before were devoured by the other families. Most importantly, now the juniors of the Ye Family didn’t dare to go out at all!

Once they went out, they would definitely be beaten to death!

Today’s Ye family was as miserable as one could imagine!

In the water dungeon of the Ye Family, the former Great Elder of the Ye Family was now kept in there like a dead dog.

The final hope of the Great Elder of the Ye Family was shattered when he learned that Ye Lang was beheaded, after which he acted like a lunatic sometimes.

This day, Ye Cang came to the water dungeon.

Ye Cang went to the cell of the Great Elder. Ye Cang looked indifferently at the Great Elder in the cell and said, “You and I have been fighting against each other for a lifetime, but we had never thought that the Ye Family would be ruined by our own hands!”

Inside the water dungeon, the Great Elder sarcastically said, “Ye Cang, everyone says that I was shortsighted, but aren’t you the same?”

Ye Cang nodded, “I am indeed short-sighted. However, the Ye Family is not going to perish because of this. It will definitely rise again someday!”

The Great Elder sneered. “You still think that he will value his old feelings and take care of the Ye Family in the days ahead? If so, you should stop your daydreaming! You know better than anyone else. According to that person’s character, he won’t care about the Ye Family anymore in his life because the Ye Family failed him!”

Ye Cang was silent for a long time, then said unkindly, “There is one thing you should not forget. It is said that once a person’s strength reaches a certain level, his blood will mutate. Because of him, people who have blood relationships with him will also mutate and their strength will increase rapidly as well.”

“You are talking nonsense!”

The Great Elder sneered, “What kind of strong people have this ability? I am afraid that there is none in Jiang Country. What makes you think that Ye Xuan has such an ability?”

Ye Cang walked two steps forward and smiled, “Do you know why I overrode all objections and made him the Heir Apparent that year?”

The Great Elder stared steadily at Ye Cang without a word.

Ye Cang smiled, “In addition to his personal strength, there was another reason that was his mother!”

Ye Xuan’s mother!

The Great Elder’s eyebrows were a little wrinkly. Of course he had an impression of that person. She was a very ordinary woman who suddenly disappeared when Ye Xuan was ten years old and hadn’t been seen since then!

Ye Cang’s right hand slowly gripped. When Ye Xuan’s mother left with the man in a black robe at the back door of Ye’s Manor, he was actually there too. At that time, he clearly saw how horrifying the man in the black robe behind Ye Xuan’s mother was!

Suspend!

What kind of strong man can suspend himself in the air?

A strong person in the Ascending Realm could only soar in the sky for a short period of time at most, while that person was suspended in the air without any waves of Occult Qi around him!

Then they distorted space and disappeared!

Distorting space!

He only heard such kinds of things in rumors!

Since then, he immediately made Ye Xuan the Heir Apparent because he felt that the mysterious woman would definitely come back and take Ye Xuan and his sister away one day. At that time, the Ye Family would reap enormous benefits!

However, he never thought that the woman would leave for almost ten years and never return. They hadn’t even heard from her ever since.

At this point, he began to have doubts!

He started to think that Ye Xuan and his sister had been abandoned by them!

That was the reason why he gradually changed his attitude towards Ye Xuan. But he had never expected that Ye Xuan would mysteriously become a Sword Cultivator and his strength would become even more powerful. He knew that it must be related to that mysterious woman!

Ye Cang retracted his thoughts. He glanced coldly at the Great Elder in the water dungeon. “Now the stronger Ye Xuan becomes, the more the Ye Family will be laughed at, and hence the more the humiliation. But we can endure until he reaches the top and changes his blood. Although it is just a little hope, we still have something to cling on to. As for you, Great Elder, you won’t have even the slightest hope for the rest of your life. We didn’t kill you but put you in here because we of the Ye Family want to show our apologies to Ye Xuan! We can wait until he cools down, even if it will take us ten years, twenty years, or even thirty years. As for you, you can just stay here! Until you die!”

After that, he turned away!

In the water dungeon, the Great Elder was silent for a long time, then he suddenly burst into crazy laughter as if he were mad!

After a while, the Great Elder grinned like mad and said, “Ye Cang, oh, Ye Cang, you are more stupid than I thought!”

He was clearer than anyone else about Ye Xuan’s character. Ye Xuan was always a vengeful person and he was also the type of person to hold a grudge.

Cool down?

If he hated the Ye Family, then it proved that he still had the Ye Family in his heart, so the Ye Family still had hope. But now, Ye Xuan didn’t even hate the Ye Family!

Since there was no hate, how could they still talk about cooling down?

…

Three days later, Thousand-Mountain City.

The Thousand-Mountain City was a prosperous metropolis located in Jiang Country, which was surrounded by countless mountains, hence it was called the Thousand-Mountain City. The Thousand-Mountain City was prosperous because the largest trade association, the Drunken Fairy Building, was in there.

The Drunken Fairy Building belonged to a mysterious force that had established branches in hundreds of countries in the Qing Continent, and no matter which city the force had been to, it would become prosperous!

Because they had a kind of transportation: Cloud Ships!

The so-called Cloud Ships were a kind of flying vehicle. With it, cities were no longer so far away, or it should be said that countries were not so far away.

And at this time, he would go to the Thousand-Mountain City and sail from there to the Imperial Capital by Cloud Ship!

The most prosperous place in Jiang Country!

At the gate of the Thousand-Mountain City, in the carriage, Ye Ling looked at the Thousand-Mountain City before her and blinked. “Wow, brother, what a big city, it’s much bigger than Qing City!”

Ye Xuan nodded and smiled, “It is really big!”

Ye Ling gently shook Ye Xuan’s arm, and begged somewhat like a spoiled child, “Brother, shall we go shopping later?”

Ye Xuan thought about it, then nodded, “Okay!”

They pushed on with their journey all this time, not to mention Ye Ling, even he also felt bored!

It was good to go shopping!

Thinking about this, Ye Xuan went into the city with Ye Ling.

The streets were quite wide, the width of which could go up to dozens of meters. The city was packed with people and there were lots of carriages and horses running in the street, which was really much livelier than Qing City!

Ye Xuan first secured a room at one of the inns with Ye Ling. He only booked one room. Because Ye Ling’s condition was not that stable now, he naturally couldn’t rest easy if he left her alone in another room.

After he arranged the accommodations, he took Ye Ling out shopping!

On the street, Ye Ling looked here and there as cheerfully as an elf.

After a while, Ye Ling got many toys in her hands.

Seeing Ye Ling so happy, Ye Xuan smiled more brilliantly.

When they passed by a small stall, the voice of the mysterious woman suddenly sounded in Ye Xuan’s brain. “Wait a minute!”

Hearing her words, Ye Xuan was slightly stunned, and then he pulled Ye Ling and stopped her.

“Predecessor?” Ye Xuan asked in his heart.

The mysterious woman said, “There is a purple ring in the stall next to you, buy it!”

Ye Xuan turned and glanced briefly at the stall. He found that there was an inconspicuous purple ring at the corner of the stall.

The stall owner was a middle-aged man. He looked at Ye Xuan and smiled, “What do you need to buy, bro?”

Ye Xuan picked up the purple ring. “How much is this?”

He did not ask the mysterious woman why she wanted him to buy this unremarkable ring, because he knew that there must be a reason! One must know that the mysterious woman hardly spoke usually and it was rare to see her take the initiative to speak!

The middle-aged man glanced at the purple ring in Ye Xuan’s hand and smiled, “Ten gold coins!”

Hearing this, Ye Xuan’s eyebrows wrinkled slightly, “Ten gold coins, it is a little expensive!” However, he gave ten gold coins to the stall owner right away without hesitation.

Seeing that Ye Xuan did not bargain, the stall owner smirked and quickly took the gold coins. His heart secretly bloomed with joy! After all, he was willing to sell it even for three gold coins!

Ye Xuan was about to turn away, just at this point, a voice suddenly came from the side, “Hold on a moment!”

Looking toward the voice, Ye Xuan saw a little girl who was the same age as Ye Ling walking towards him.

The little girl was wearing a small quilted jacket, had rosy lips and pretty white teeth. She looked very cute with her hair tied in a ponytail.

After one glance at the ring in Ye Xuan’s hand, the little girl then turned to look at the stall owner. “I can pay twenty gold coins for this ring!”

The stall owner was startled, and he was a little embarrassed because he had already sold it to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan glanced at the little girl and smiled, “Little sister, this ring…”

“Who is your little sister?” The little girl coldly interrupted Ye Xuan’s words all of a sudden.

Ye Xuan’s expression froze and he was speechless for a while, “What kind of temper does this little girl have?”

Next to Ye Xuan, Ye Ling cast a disapproving glance at the little girl. “How can you speak like this? My brother meant no harm!”

The little girl looked at Ye Ling. Upon seeing her, she blanked out a little. Soon, her eyes flashed a trace of astonishment. The little girl continued staring at her until this astonishment turned into shock and in next to no time it became ecstasy.

In a very short time, the little girl’s look had changed several times. At the sight of this, Ye Xuan was dumbfounded.

Being stared at by her, Ye Ling also felt somewhat unnatural. Immediately, she asked, “You, why are you staring at me?”

The little girl’s look turned back to normal. She wanted to say something, but she seemed to have some scruples. After a little while of silence, she asked, “What is your name?”

Seeing that the little girl no longer had an arrogant attitude, Ye Ling replied, “Ye Ling.”

With this, she held Ye Xuan’s arm and introduced, “This is my brother Ye Xuan!”

The little girl glanced at Ye Xuan coldly. Then her eyes fell on Ye Ling again. It was easy to see that she seemed to be hesitating.

Ye Xuan took Ye Ling and was about to turn away. Right at this moment, the little girl suddenly took out a fist-sized red stone and handed it to Ye Ling. “This is for you!”

Ye Xuan and his sister were stunned!

The little girl stuffed the stone in Ye Ling’s arms. “This is the Heaven Fire Warm Jade. Carrying it with you can temporarily suppress the cold in your body.”

Hearing her say this, Ye Xuan’s expression changed dramatically, “You…”

The little girl ignored Ye Xuan, and she said again, “I have something urgent to deal with, so I can’t take you away now. I will come to you in three months at the latest.”

With this, she glanced at Ye Xuan coldly, “For your sister’s sake, I’ll give you the ring!”

After that, she took another look at Ye Ling and then turned.

Ye Xuan was shocked, and then he chased after her. But the next moment, the little girl was already dozens of meters away. Then in an instant, the little girl completely disappeared in the eyes of Ye Xuan!

Ye Xuan was petrified and stopped.

At a corner.

The little girl walked to the corner. Just when she stopped, a person in a black robe appeared silently behind her, and the person in the black robe knelt down on one knee. “Honorable Lady!”

The little girl ordered coldly, “Watch that brother and sister closely for me. No, you cannot follow them. You are too conspicuous. You go and find someone with a relatively weak strength to follow them. Remember, you cannot let anything happen to that little girl.”

The person in the black robe asked in a deep voice, “Does the Honorable Lady want that little girl?”

The little girl closed her eyes slowly, and her tone was quite excited. “I didn’t expect that there would be someone with such a constitution in Jiang Country. If it were not for the extra-urgent thing about the abode left by the Sword Lord of the Cang World, I would take her away right now!”

The person in the black robe said in a deep voice, “Although the abode of the Sword Lord of the Cang World was discovered, the Sword Formation he left could not be broken. It was said that his sword is necessary to break his Sword Formation, but the Sword Lord of the Cang World had disappeared more than a thousand years ago, where can we find his sword?”

The little girl said coolly, “Never mind. Everyone gathered together this time to solve this problem!”

The person in the black robe nodded. Seemingly thinking of something, he asked again, “That little girl’s brother, does the Honorable Lady intend to accept him too?”

The little girl shook her head. “His foundation is good, but his Elixir Field is broken, his constitution is only up to average and his Spiritual Root is just okay, what do you want him to do? Waste rice?”

After that, she turned and left!
