Chapter 34: Liú Jiāng Hóng

As Yè Chén and his companions disappeared into the depths of the academy, a series of astonished voices erupted outside the academy gates.

"My goodness, is this actually true?"

"They, they're actually Princess Shuǐxiān's relatives!"

"If that's the case, what about Yè Lóng and Yè Língtiān?"

Many disciples discussed, and the scene became extremely lively.

Especially the members of the Yè family were utterly shocked. Perhaps they didn't know the hidden truth from the past, but for Princess Shuǐxiān to call them father and brother, what did that make the family head to them?

This matter had to be reported to the main family.

"Brother, are those people really Princess Shuǐxiān's relatives?" Liú Jiāng Xuě's face was shocked, her eyes widened, still a bit incredulous and unable to believe it.

Liú Jiāng Fán remained silent, with a hint of complexity in his expression.

He thought more than anyone else.

The sudden appearance of these people turned out to be Princess Shuǐxiān's relatives. Then, what about the Yè family?

Would it affect his eldest brother's plans?

"This matter must be reported to my eldest brother. Sister, come back to the palace with me," Liú Jiāng Fán said without hesitation, quickly leaving the academy and heading towards the imperial palace.

"The person just now said they were going to take Princess Shuǐxiān away. This matter must be reported to the dean," the True Martial Realm instructor also had a flicker in his eyes and headed towards the depths of the academy.

The entire Xuantian Academy boiled with excitement due to the arrival of Yè Chén and his companions.

The news of Princess Shuǐxiān's biological father and brother spread like wildfire, causing countless people to gasp in shock.

As the emperor's righteous daughter and the direct disciple of the dean, Princess Shuǐxiān was undoubtedly the most eye-catching daughter in the entire imperial city, if not the entire Xuantian Academy.

Moreover, her astonishing talent could rival the three geniuses of the imperial city. No one could predict how far she would go in the future.

However, the dean had once said that Princess Shuǐxiān would definitely step out of the empire.

With such a dazzling daughter, the sudden appearance of her unknown biological father and brother, who dared to confront the main family, naturally shocked everyone.

"Isn't Princess Shuǐxiān supposed to be the daughter of the Yè family head? How come a biological father suddenly appeared? Could it be just a rumor?"

"It's definitely not a rumor. Many people outside the academy personally witnessed Princess Shuǐxiān admitting it."

"What exactly is going on?"

Inside the academy, whether it was the students or the instructors, they were all guessing.

Yè Chén and his companions were unaware of the discussions and speculations among the people in the academy, and they didn't care either.

At this moment, they arrived at Yè Shuǐxiān's residence.

As the most dazzling daughter of the academy, Yè Shuǐxiān's living environment was quite good.

Underneath a small mountain range, a several-story high-rise building stood tall, surrounded by dense spiritual energy.

"A Gathering Spirit Array!"

Yè Chén sensed the abundant spiritual energy around and confirmed that it was several times richer than the outside world. Obviously, a small-scale Gathering Spirit Array had been set up here. Practicing in seclusion here would definitely be several times faster than outside.

It seemed that the royal family treated Yè Shuǐxiān quite well.

And precisely because of this, Yè Chén had given Liú Jiāng Mò a chance and hadn't taken action against him.

Of course, Yè Chén didn't really care about this trash formation. He definitely intended to take Yè Shuǐxiān away; such a precious gem couldn't be wasted.

"Father, are you going to the imperial city on your own?" After entering the residence, Yè Shuǐxiān asked with some worry.

Yè Fēng smiled faintly, "Shuǐxiān, don't worry. The main family can't do anything to us."

Yè Shuǐxiān still looked worried, "Father, you don't understand. I've become the disciple of the dean and the adopted daughter of the emperor, which gives me a special status. But even so, the Yè family has never listened to me. Even His Majesty refused to let me bring you back to the imperial city. If you come here privately, if the Yè family finds out, I'm afraid..."

Yè Fēng smiled, "We've already been to the main family."

"What?!" Yè Shuǐxiān was astonished.

Father and the others had already been to the main family?

"Father, are you all right? Did the Yè family cause you any trouble?" Yè Shuǐxiān looked at Yè Fēng and Yè Chén with anxious concern, fearing that they had been harmed.

"The main family can't harm us." Yè Fēng recounted the whole story in detail, from the troubles caused by the Tianyou City's Liú family and Ouyang family to their arrival at the city lord's mansion and the main family.

Yè Shuǐxiān's expression changed constantly as Yè Fēng spoke, from nervousness to worry to shock, various complex emotions flashing across her face.

In the end, she was speechless with shock, like a statue.

It was unclear how much time had passed before tears welled up in the corners of Yè Shuǐxiān's eyes again, streaming down her cheeks.

She had worked so hard to cultivate, wanting to become strong, wanting to bring back her father and brother, but she had failed. Now, her father and brother had come to find her, even daring to confront the main family.

It was conceivable how much hardship her father and brother had endured to reach this point.

She hated herself for not being able to help even a bit.

"Sister, the Yè family is just a small family. You don't need to worry," Yè Chén said with a smile. He really didn't care about the Yè family, let alone the imperial family.

What he cared about now was Yè Shuǐxiān.

Did Yè Shuǐxiān know about her Xuanbing Divine Body?

But Yè Chén didn't ask directly. Currently, there was another important matter—increasing Yè Fēng's strength. After all, in three months, Yè Fēng would have to fight Yè Língtiān.

For these three months, they would stay in the Xuantian Academy and slowly guide Yè Shuǐxiān. There would be time to ask later.

"Qīngxuě, go to the alchemy hall and bring back these spiritual materials," Yè Chén listed numerous materials and

 handed the list to Wǔ Qīngxuě.

"Yes." Wǔ Qīngxuě took the list and headed towards the alchemy hall. She wanted spiritual materials, and Sòng Yì wouldn't dare to refuse.

...

Meanwhile, in the imperial palace, in the mansion of the Crown Prince.

Liú Jiāng Fán and Liú Jiāng Xuě rushed here at the fastest speed and informed the Crown Prince, Liú Jiāng Hóng, of the situation at the Xuantian Academy.

Liú Jiāng Hóng, a True Martial Realm sixth-level powerhouse, was even stronger than the three geniuses of the imperial city. However, because he was nearing thirty, about ten years older than the three geniuses, he wasn't compared with them in the same generation.

"Her biological father and brother, the Yè family actually let them come?"

Liú Jiāng Hóng was somewhat surprised when he learned of this news.

He naturally knew who Princess Shuǐxiān's biological father was.

It was the genius who was expelled from the main family by the Yè family years ago.

And now he had returned?

What was his purpose?

He didn't care about any of this.

The only thing he cared about was Yè Shuǐxiān.

She was the hope for his rise. No one was allowed to have any designs on her.

"Jiāng Fán, Jiāng Xuě, go and test their attitude for me, see what they are up to," Liú Jiāng Hóng said to Liú Jiāng Fán and Liú Jiāng Xuě.

"Rest assured, Crown Prince, Jiāng Dì knows what to do," Liú Jiāng Fán nodded solemnly.

Liú Jiāng Xuě also nodded in agreement and then left.

After Liú Jiāng Fán and Liú Jiāng Xuě left, Liú Jiāng Hóng remained silent for a long time.

Finally, he waved his hand, and several guards entered the mansion.

"Go and invite Marshal Yè Língtiān into the palace."

"Yes."
