Chapter 21: Arrival at the Ye Family

Ye Zhen and Ye Xiang did not consider themselves to have wasted an incredibly rare opportunity. On the contrary, they were relieved that they had left Ye Chen in time.

"Brother, is that guy crazy? How dare he show such disrespect to the main family," Ye Xiang said after confirming their departure from Ye Chen. Her face still carried a thick sense of horror.

Ye Zhen was equally shocked, his heart still trembling as he said, "Yes, he's definitely crazy. The main family cannot tolerate provocation. Fortunately, we chatted a bit longer and left in time, or else tomorrow, we would all have been buried with him."

"Brother, do you think he deliberately said that to drive us away?" Ye Xiang asked, as provoking the main family was too terrifying a prospect.

"No, his gaze was firm and sincere. He wasn't lying," Ye Zhen shook his head, affirming, "Besides, if he didn't want us to travel with him, he didn't have to intervene to save us."

Ye Xiang nodded gently.

"But brother, they did save us after all. Are we just going to watch them march to their deaths?" Ye Xiang said, showing that she still held kindness in her heart and remembered the debt of gratitude.

"What can we do?" Ye Zhen countered.

He could tell that Ye Chen's attitude was resolute, beyond their ability to persuade. Since persuasion was not an option, were they supposed to accompany him to their deaths?

"I really hope he was just talking nonsense," Ye Xiang sighed softly.

Provoking the main family was undoubtedly a death sentence.

Even if all the branches of the 36 cities of the Xuantian Empire united, they still couldn't provoke the main family.

If Ye Chen dared to go to the main family and declare that they should be his martial attendants, he would have no way out.

I hope he was just talking nonsense.

---

After entering the city, Ye Chen and his companions rested for the night.

The next morning, they set off for the Ye family.

As expected of the imperial city, the spiritual energy flowing between heaven and earth was much richer than in Tianyou City. As one of the two strongest families in the imperial city, the Ye family's mansion was built in a place with abundant spiritual energy.

The Ye family's estate was vast, with picturesque mountains and clear waters, towering halls, covering an area of ​​thousands of square meters, exuding the domineering presence unique to the Ye family.

"It truly lives up to being the main family. Just this mansion alone is awe-inspiring," Ye Zhen and Ye Xiang arrived outside the Ye family estate, marveling at the grandeur of the Ye family.

"Who goes there?"

Ye family guards intercepted Ye Zhen and Ye Xiang. Upon closer observation, even the gate guards of the Ye family were in the Spiritual Martial Realm.

"We are from the Ye family of Luoyang City. Fortunately, we were chosen by Young Master Ye Qian to be his martial attendants and have come to the main family," Ye Zhen respectfully replied. Faced with the guards who were in a higher realm, they couldn't feel any sense of pride in this main family. 

"Please wait a moment." A guard walked out from the Ye family and went inside to report to Ye Qian.

Ye Zhen and his sister waited quietly, scanning their surroundings as if searching for someone.

"It seems that Ye Chen won't show up," Ye Zhen whispered.

Ye Xiang nodded gently. She actually hoped that Ye Chen wouldn't come. After all, provoking the main family would lead to certain death, and she didn't want their savior from last night to walk into such a deadly trap.

But suddenly, Ye Xiang's eyes trembled, and she whispered, "Brother, look."

Ye Zhen looked up, and his expression changed instantly.

In the distance, three figures were strolling towards them. They seemed calm, with an air of indifference, but there was a hint of coldness about them.

"God, they really dare to come," Ye Zhen said, shocked to the core.

He's truly insane.

"Little sister, what are you doing?" Seeing Ye Xiang preparing to approach, Ye Zhen hurriedly pulled her back.

"I want to talk to him," Ye Xiang replied. She didn't want to stand by and watch their savior do something foolish. She wanted to persuade him.

Ye Zhen's expression was urgent as he lowered his voice. "You're crazy. If he really intends to provoke the main family, talking to him could make the main family see us as accomplices."

"But brother..." Ye Xiang tried to argue.

Ye Zhen was resolute. "If we could have persuaded him last night, we would have. Even if he saved our lives, we can't follow him down a path to death."

Ye Zhen held onto Ye Xiang tightly, determined not to let her establish any connection with Ye Chen in front of the main family.

Ye Chen also spotted Ye Zhen and his sister, but seeing their evasive gazes, he didn't say anything and walked straight towards the Ye family's direction.

"Who goes there?" The Ye family guards intercepted him.

"Ye Chen, half a month has passed. I wonder if Ye Long has made up his mind to be my martial attendant," Ye Chen said calmly.

His words were light, but they were no less shocking than a summer thunder, sending tremors through everyone present.

Ye Zhen and his sister were utterly horrified.

Indeed, he was a lunatic, daring to provoke the main family like this.

The Ye family guards, as well as the people coming and going in the Ye family, were all stunned, staring at Ye Chen with disbelief and shock.

Each face was filled with horror and disbelief.

Did they hear correctly?

Someone came to the main family, demanding that Ye Long become his martial attendant?

"Is this an illusion?"

"This isn't an illusion. Someone did indeed come here, declaring that Ye Long should become his martial attendant."

"Lunatic! Ye Long is the most outstanding genius of the Ye family, one of the Three Heroes of the Imperial City. Who dares to demand him to be a martial attendant?"

"To speak such words is simply seeking death!"

Amidst the shock, the people in the Ye residence erupted in uproar, their gazes towards Ye Chen as if they were already looking at a dead man.

"Quick, inform Young Master Ye Long, Ye Chen has arrived."

In the crowd, Ye Cang hurriedly spoke to the person beside him, his face also showing astonishment.

Ye Chen actually dared to come.

At the same time, there was a hint of anticipation in his heart.

Is Ye Chen truly ignorant and arrogant, or does he really have the audacity to be so bold?

"Let them in."

Receiving instructions from Ye Long, Ye Cang shouted towards the entrance.

The guards at the door no longer obstructed them, allowing them to pass. However, their gazes towards Ye Chen were filled with scorn.

It's easy to enter the Ye family, but it's probably difficult to leave.

Ye Chen paid no heed to these gazes, stepping into the Ye residence and saying to Ye Cang, "Lead the way."

"He actually dares to enter the Ye family. Such audacity."

"Doesn't he know that he's doomed whether he enters or not?"

"Yeah, just based on his words outside the Ye residence, he's dead either way."

"Quick, let's follow. There will be a good show today."

The people of the Ye residence followed one after another.

They just wanted to see a good show, to see how this arrogant fool would end up lying in humiliation before Ye Long.

"So insane."

Outside the crowd, Ye Zhen was still somewhat dazed, shocked by Ye Chen's madness to the point of numbness.

He actually dares.

Outside the Ye residence, several figures flashed away, quickly leaving.

Soon, in the imperial palace, the Third Prince received the news. A smile appeared on his unchanging face.

"Interesting. Continue to keep an eye on it. If that Ye Chen can come out alive, bring him to the palace," the Third Prince said with a faint smile.

In the Ouyang family, Ouyang Qingyun received the news, first surprised, then chuckled. "It's really interesting to witness this show in person. Unfortunately, we can't enter the Ye residence."
