My wife who comes from a wealthy family
Chapter 321 - 322: The True Background of Su Yueli

Chapter 321: Chapter 322: The True Background of Su Yueli

"Hmph, Elder, let’s see if you can beat me first!" Ye Hu said, gripping his tiger-head saber and slashing fiercely toward the Elder.

In contrast, the Elder showed no reaction at all!

"Why isn’t the Elder doing anything?"

"Could it be that he’s scared?" many onlookers wondered curiously.

Seeing this, a triumphant smile appeared in Ye Hu’s eyes. "Elder, you’re too old. Just die already!"

As he spoke, Ye Hu brought his saber down towards the Elder’s neck with murderous intent soaring around him!

Ye Wudao watched the Elder closely, his fingers already on the Beiwang Blade, ready to act the moment the Elder was in danger!

But in the nick of time, just as things became critical, the Elder suddenly raised his hand and caught the saber, performing a move that redirected force with softness!

Bang!

Ye Hu, along with his saber, was thrown harshly to the ground, letting out a scream of agony.

The crowd was astonished!

"Damn, am I seeing this right?"

"The Elder actually used bare hands and the technique of ’four taels to move a thousand pounds’ to defeat the Vice Family Head?" All the Ye family members were dumbfounded.

"Impressive!" Ye Wudao showed a look of admiration. Clearly, Ye Hu’s strength was no match for the Elder’s.

Feeling utterly humiliated, Ye Hu roared and charged again. "Old fool, I’m going to kill you!"

The Elder moved with the steps of Tai Chi, his palm seemingly soft and weak, yet it concealed endless lethal force.

"Kunlun Tai Chi Palm, that’s a Kunlun technique..." Ye Wudao’s pupils constricted.

Bang!

Once again, Ye Hu was struck down, more severely injured this time, coughing up blood and lying on the ground unable to rise.

"Vice Family Head Ye Hu!"

"Vice Family Head, how are you?" Ye Sheng and others hurried over. Ye Hu managed a bitter smile, "My, my ribs are broken, seven or eight of them, I can’t get up, I’ve lost!"

"What?"

"The Vice Family Head lost!"

"Who would have thought the Elder was so powerful!" The faces of Ye Sheng and others turned pale.

There was a deadly silence among the entire Ye family!

"I thought it was going to be a fight between dragons and tigers, but it ended so quickly!"

"It’s not that Vice Family Head Ye Hu is weak, the Elder is just too strong!"

"Yes, after all, when the Elder was the Vice Family Head, Ye Hu was just an ordinary Elder!" many of the older Ye family members reminisced.

Whoosh!

The Elder slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, looking the part of a true master.

"Sir, was that the Kunlun Bagua Palm you just used?" Ye Wudao asked.

"Correct, I received guidance from a Kunlun master in my early years!" Pride filled the Elder’s face, then he changed the subject, "How do you know of it?"

"Eh, I read about it in a book," Ye Wudao quickly made up an excuse, remembering his masters’ reminder not to reveal his identity when they had left the mountain.

"Good, with great bearing and a commanding presence, compared to the Northern King in his youth, you’re in no way inferior!" The Elder complimented, taking an instant liking to Ye Wudao.

Ye Wudao smiled, "You flatter me, sir!"

"Hehe, young man, according to seniority, I could be your grandfather! But calling me ’grandpa’ wouldn’t be proper, just call me Elder," the Elder chuckled.

Ye Wudao clasped his fist, "Thank you for stepping in, Elder!"

"Don’t mention it!" the Elder chuckled again, "Since you’re here, stay for a while!"

"I’m afraid I can’t, I’m here looking for someone," Ye Wudao shook his head.

"Looking for someone, who?" the Elder inquired.

"Su Yueli..." Ye Wudao said.

"I seem to have met this girl once..." the Elder began.

Ye Wudao asked excitedly, "Does the senior elder know where she is? Tell me..."

The senior elder hesitated, shook his head, and said, "I’m afraid that won’t be possible..."

"Why?" Ye Wudao was puzzled.

"I’m sorry, but if I tell you, it would bring disaster upon the Ye family!" The senior elder said gravely.

What?

That grave!

Ye Wudao’s heart shook.

Just then, a domineering voice came through; "Kid, I can tell you where the woman you’re looking for is!"

Who?

Everyone turned their heads, only to see a tall elder approaching, his every move exuding immense authority!

"Family Head!"

"Family Head!"

Nearly ten thousand members of the Ye family at the scene knelt down, their faces filled with excitement.

The newcomer was none other than the Family Head of the Ye family, Ye Long!

"Family Head, your arrival is timely. This child is the bastard of Beiwang, and you must kill him..." Ye Hu, lying on the stretcher, became excited upon seeing Ye Long’s appearance.

"Shut up!" Ye Long glared at Ye Hu, who immediately fell silent.

"You are the Family Head of the Ye family; my wife must have been taken by you, right?" Ye Wudao placed his hand on the Beiwang Blade at his waist, and his pupils filled with endless killing intent.

"Hehe, you flatter me too much! I wouldn’t dare to capture her but instead sent someone to invite her!" Ye Long said with a faint smile.

What?

Ye Wudao was stunned, somewhat bewildered!

What on earth was going on?

"Senior elder, tell him the truth!" Ye Long spoke.

The senior elder nodded and said, "Ye Wudao, to be frank, your fiancée, Su Yueli, is a descendant of the royal family..."

"The royal family?" Ye Wudao was curious; it was the first time he had heard of this power.

"The royal family is the foremost clan in the world, above any ancient martial arts family. They possess terrifying power. To them, our Ye family is nothing more than an insignificant piece on the chessboard," the senior elder said with a wry smile.

"Damn, from the first time I saw Yueli, I felt she was no ordinary girl, but to think she actually is a descendant of the royal family, tsk tsk, remarkable..." The eccentric doctor was also shocked, then clicked his tongue in wonder.

Ye Wudao was also very surprised in his heart; he knew Su Yueli was adopted by old Su, and he had not expected her background to be so extraordinary!

"Then I can just go to the royal family and bring Yueli back, right?" Ye Wudao laughed.

"Hahaha!" Ye Long suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter filled with mockery, "Young man, do you know how strong the royal family is? They are powerful enough to stand toe to toe with the six nobles of Dragon Country and are considered the head of all clans. Not just you, even your father is no match for the royal family!"

Even the eccentric doctor whispered, "He’s right; the royal family is a hundred times more terrifying than you imagine. If you go there recklessly, you are certain to die!"

Ye Wudao’s gaze suddenly became serious; "Then what should I do now?"

"If you do me a favor, I will forgive you for not killing the clansmen of the Ye family. Moreover, you will have a chance to bring your fiancée back from the royal family!" Ye Long said slowly.

"Speak!"

"Fight on behalf of the Ye family in the ancient martial arts clan competition and secure one of the top three places. Then, you can receive a reward from the royal family and propose a condition to them!" Ye Long said.

What?

Fight for the Ye family!

Ye Wudao was startled, his expression stern as he said, "Are you using me?"

"Hehe, let’s just say it’s a mutual benefit! Besides fighting for the Ye family in the ancient martial arts competition, do you have any other opportunity to propose a condition to the royal family?" Ye Long sneered playfully, "If the royal family finds out you are the son of Beiwang, I’m afraid you won’t even get to see your fiancée’s face before being killed on the spot!"

Ye Wudao fell silent.

"Ye Wudao, this is your only chance to save your fiancée. You must cherish it!" the senior elder spoke.

"Yeah, Xiao Yeye, there won’t be another shop after this village!"

Ye Wudao’s eyes showed a determined look; "Fine, I agree to your terms!"
