Chapter 27: The Invitation from the Third Prince

"Ye Lingtian, where is Ye Shuixian?" Ye Feng asked.

He intended to resolve the grievances of the Ye family himself, but Ye Shuixian, he wanted to take her away to reunite as a family.

"She is not in the Ye family," Ye Lingtian replied coldly.

Not in the Ye family?

Ye Feng was first surprised, then his expression became solemn. Could it be that Ye Shuixian had already been married off by the Ye family for political alliances?

"Ye Feng, I must say, you have raised a pair of excellent children. Ye Shuixian is in Xuantian Academy, highly regarded by the royal family, and nurtured carefully. The current emperor even considers her as his adopted daughter and honors her as Princess Shuixian," Ye Lingtian said, unable to conceal a hint of envy.

If Ye Shuixian were his daughter, being valued so highly by the royal family would elevate his status in the Xuantian Empire even further.

Unfortunately, Ye Shuixian was Ye Feng's daughter.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng felt somewhat relieved, and Ye Chen also relaxed.

"After three months, I will come back to the Ye family," Ye Feng said before leaving with a wave of his hand.

As Ye Chen and the others left, the atmosphere in the Ye residence remained unsettled.

"Are we just going to let them leave like this?" the third elder sighed softly, seeming somewhat unwilling.

"What else can we do? Father doesn't show up, and the elders don't appear. Can we stop them from leaving?" Ye Lingtian's expression was not pleasant. He certainly wanted to keep Ye Feng and his son.

If they could act recklessly in the Ye residence and still leave calmly, how would the outside world view the Ye family?

However, that woman was too strong. Even if everyone present took action, they might not be able to keep them.

Ye Lingtian could do nothing about it.

But three months later, he would crush Ye Feng and then recruit that woman as his martial attendant.

"Three months later, I will definitely win," Ye Long looked at the departing figure of Ye Chen, gritting his teeth with anger, humiliation, and unwillingness filling his heart.

As one of the three elites of the Imperial City, he was actually crushed by Ye Chen with just one move.

From today on, he, one of the three elites of the Imperial City, would be pinned to the pillar of shame. If he didn't seek revenge, this humiliation would accompany him for the rest of his life.

"If you want to win, then train hard for me. Break through to the True Martial Realm within three months," Ye Lingtian looked at Ye Long. Today's humiliation might also serve as Ye Long's tempering.

If he could wash away the shame, he would definitely become stronger, undergoing a transformation.

Ye Lingtian and his son left, but the top echelons of the Ye family remained solemn.

"Could it be that Ye Feng and his son's return and the challenge against Ye Lingtian and his son are aimed at reclaiming what they lost?" the third elder said solemnly.

Ye Feng was indeed quite dazzling back then. If not for the unexpected changes, he would definitely not have handed over the position of family head to Ye Lingtian. Was his return today an attempt to reclaim the position of family head?

"This matter may need to be reported to the elders," the fourth elder said.

The third elder shook his head, saying, "The elders will surely know about today's events. If they want to intervene, there's no need for us to inform them."

The fourth elder nodded lightly.

All they could do now was wait for the battle three months later.

The top echelons of the Ye family left, and the younger generation outside began to buzz with excitement.

Ye Long was defeated.

Ye Lingtian didn't dare to act arrogantly.

This outcome far exceeded everyone's expectations.

They had thought that Ye Chen and the others were doomed, but the result was the main family being humiliated, which highlighted the brilliance of Ye Chen and his group.

"Will the main family change?" the siblings Ye Zhen pondered.

Was that crazy guy trying to reclaim the position of family head instead of seeking death?

Ye Chen didn't care about their feelings. Today, he could have destroyed the Ye family, but his father wanted to do it himself, so he respected Ye Feng's decision.

"Dad," Ye Feng looked at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen knew what Ye Feng wanted to say and responded with a calm smile, "Father, rest assured, after three months, you will reclaim everything that belongs to you."

Ye Lingtian was at the True Martial Seventh Realm, while Ye Feng was at the Spirit Martial Sixth Realm. On the surface, it seemed like there was a significant gap between them.

However, with different rules of the dimension and Ye Chen's guidance, Ye Lingtian had no chance of winning after three months.

The Ye family just needed to catch their breath for three months.

"Let's go, let's go to Xuantian Academy first," Ye Chen said.

Just as they were preparing to go to Xuantian Academy to retrieve Ye Shuixian, several figures appeared from the corner of the street and blocked their path.

Wu Qingxue stepped forward with her sword ready to be unsheathed at any moment.

Ye Chen waved his hand, looking at the people in front of him, and said, "From the Ouyang family or the Third Prince?"

In the Imperial City, besides the Ye family, he only had dealings with the Ouyang family and the Third Prince.

Several martial artists were slightly stunned, and one of them said, "The Third Prince requests your presence."

Ye Chen's lips curled up. The Third Prince dared to approach him. He wanted to see what he wanted to do.

"Lead the way."

...

At the same time, inside the palace.

The Third Prince also received news of Ye Chen leaving the Ye residence, and his face was filled with shock for a moment.

Ye Long actually didn't stop Ye Chen?

Did the Ye

 family let them go?

"This doesn't seem right. With Ye Long's arrogance, how could he let Ye Chen go? Something must have happened."

Liú Jiāng Mò paced back and forth, suddenly his eyes lit up, seeming to have figured something out.

"Could it be the Alchemy Hall?"

Perhaps only the Alchemy Hall could make the Ye family cautious enough to let Ye Chen go.

Could it be that Ye Chen was really related to the Alchemy Hall?

If so...

"Summon Elder Liáng Yǔ from the Alchemy Hall immediately," Liú Jiāng Mò ordered without hesitation.

Liáng Yǔ was the elder of the Alchemy Hall, second only to the Hall Master Sòng Yì.

If Ye Chen was really related to the Alchemy Hall, Liáng Yǔ would definitely know.

At the same time, inside the Ouyang family, Ouyang Qingyun also heard the news of Ye Chen leaving intact and was equally surprised.

"Did the Ye family really let them go?" Ouyang Qingyun asked incredulously.

His martial attendant responded, "Young Master, it's true. Ye Chen and the others have been taken away by the Third Prince's martial attendants."

"Let's go to the palace," Ouyang Qingyun said, striding out towards the palace.

...

Inside the palace, a man dressed in a black robe walked into Liú Jiāng Mò's palace.

Liú Jiāng Mò even came out to greet him, indicating the extraordinary status of the visitor.

"Teacher," Liú Jiāng Mò greeted the man respectfully.

Although the Alchemy Hall didn't interfere in worldly affairs, not all alchemists were like that. Some relied on their identity as alchemists to pursue worldly wealth and power.

Such was the case with Liáng Yǔ.

"Why did you summon me so urgently? What's the matter?" Liáng Yǔ entered the palace and sat down arrogantly.

"Teacher, do you know if the Alchemy Hall in Tianyóu City is related to the Ye family in Tianyóu City?" Liú Jiāng Mò got straight to the point and asked.

"Tianyóu City?"

Liáng Yǔ frowned slightly, "Why do you ask?"

Liú Jiāng Mò detailed the situation in Tianyóu City. Of course, he only mentioned the Alchemy Hall's efforts to protect Ye Chen in Tianyóu City, and nothing else.

"Humph, how dare the Alchemy Hall interfere in worldly disputes? Who dares to be so bold?" Liáng Yǔ's anger could be heard in his voice.

Liú Jiāng Mò was his disciple in name, and if he wanted to take someone away, who dared to stop him?

Could it be that the Alchemy Hall in Tianyóu City was so audacious?

Liáng Yǔ's attitude reassured Liú Jiāng Mò.

If Ye Chen's reliance was indeed the Alchemy Hall in Tianyóu City, then there was nothing to worry about.
