Chapter 91
byChapter 91 - Even Dogs Can't Be Touched Randomly
Before Ye Wuchen was injured, he was a middle-stage Orange Rank Spiritualist. Now, he had already recovered to the peak of the Red Rank. But to break through to the Yellow Rank within two months... It was an almost impossible task.
However, for this hard-earned opportunity, he would give it his all!
Thus, without waiting for anyone else's nonsense, Ye Wuchen immediately dove into cultivation. Once he left, the Ye family father and son finally came back to their senses, both secretly questioning what they had just witnessed.
The gifts that were delivered today included gold and jewels, which could be overlooked. However, those high-grade Yellow Rank magical artifacts, any one of them was worth a fortune, and there were over twenty of them!
Magical artifacts could be bought with money, but the Gu Ma-selected jade pass was another matter entirely. Not only was it impossible for someone from the entire Li Kingdom to possess it, but even the Lingyun Palace wouldn't be able to procure one, let alone give it away casually.
Just who possessed such immense power?
The Ye father and son racked their brains but couldn't figure out the identity of this mysterious person. In the end, they could only turn to Ye Xiyao for answers.
"Yao'er, with such generosity, do you know who the sender might be?"
"Patient, these are merely consultation fees."
"Oh..." Observing Ye Xiyao's calm demeanor, the father and son from the Ye family exchanged subtle glances, yet not one of them truly believed her inwardly.
What kind of illness requires such a hefty consultation fee? Even if it were truly a consultation fee, it's impossible for someone to be so generous and mysterious... I suppose they must have taken a fancy to Young Miss Yao!
As was the case with Cuizhu, the Ye father and son duo imagined themselves to have discerned the truth. Yet, when Ye Xiyao did not acknowledge it, the Ye patriarch and his offspring dared not inquire further, instead opting to discreetly investigate each other's circumstances at a suitable moment.
**Chapter 1: The Enchanted Moonlit Night**
As the contenders gradually departed and the rumors subsided, the capital city eventually returned to its former tranquility.
Even the Shen family and Prince Xuan found themselves subdued, causing the Ye family, who had been watching them, to gradually relax.
Yet, amidst this tranquil period, one evening, a carriage slowly rolled into the city from the outskirts.
The carriage was crafted from premium, lustrous white lacquer wood, pristine and clean. Intricate carvings adorned its surface, and sheer silk curtains hung down from all sides. Two graceful young maidens, attired in azure gauze dresses and adorned with jade hairpins, walked alongside the carriage, their delicate features charming.
Following the carriage were a dozen men dressed in green robes. Their ages varied, each riding tall steeds at a leisurely pace, their hoofbeats echoing nonchalantly, yet hinting at an indescribable arrogance.
The group proceeded straight to the west of the city and soon arrived at the entrance of the Shen family's residence.
At that moment, the Shen family's grand gates were wide open. The family patriarch, Shen Hui, who hadn't been seen for days, was already awaiting with the rest of the Shens at the entrance. Then, the curtains of a pristine white carriage fluttered gently as a woman in a snowy white dress stepped out.
The young lady wasn't too old, her figure graceful and her features delicate, yet she exuded an air of noble aloofness. Upon exiting the carriage, she didn't even glance at the Shen family members before leading the way into the family residence.
In a short while, they arrived at the main hall of the Shen family. The woman in white took her seat without hesitation, occupying the seat of honor, while the once-authoritative Shen Hui sat below her. After dismissing some unnecessary personnel, Shen Hui was about to speak when he was interrupted by the woman.
"There's no need for further explanation. I'm well aware of the details. Li Xian might not be significant, but he is still a member of my Cloud Peak Manor. For the Ye family to dare lay a hand on him, it's clear they don't regard our Cloud Peak Manor with respect.
That's why Master has sent me here, to assist you and give the Ye family a taste of their own medicine. They must learn that even a dog belonging to our Cloud Peak Manor is not to be trifled with!"
