The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 388 - 387: Be a Slave?

Chapter 388: Chapter 387: Be a Slave?

"Younger brother, you also know about the last incident, the Main Family couldn’t suppress the matter, so they have been quite furious..."

"This time, the Main Family somehow got news that Tian’er’s son, Ye Xuan, single-handedly destroyed a sect, which caught the Main Family’s attention, they decided to recall him to the Main Family."

Ye Hongyi’s face looked somewhat grave as he spoke softly to Ye Hongli.

"What?!" Ye Hongli’s face changed, he turned back to glance at Ye Xuan in the distance, and whispered, "Big brother, wasn’t that matter suppressed back then? Why is it resurfacing now..."

Ye Hongyi couldn’t help but bitterly smile and said, "In fact, if it were just about Tian’er being called back to the Main Family, it could completely be suppressed, but because of that incident, the Ye Family suffered quite a few losses, so they have always remembered it."

"Currently, Ye Xuan’s matter has also been exposed to the East Desolate, and the Main Family just happened to start paying attention."

Upon hearing this, Ye Hongli’s face showed a mix of clouds and sunshine.

That incident back then, he also knew had a huge impact, he just hadn’t expected that after more than a decade, the Ye Family still had no intention of letting Tian’er go.

Now, they were even focusing their attention on Ye Xuan.

Thinking of this, Ye Hongli felt both angry and helpless.

Angry at the system of the Ye Family, which he had disliked since he was young, and that was why he chose to leave the Ye Family at a young age.

If he had stayed with the Ye Family back then, perhaps he could have gained more support in terms of cultivation resources, but by now, he would definitely be among those in the Main Family, serving under those of the Main Family lineage.

Pleasantly put as subordinates, but frankly speaking, they were actually nothing more than servants.

This is also why Ye Hongli had never envied his own brother, Ye Hongyi.

Although Ye Hongyi possessed strength uncommon to regular cultivators, and also unimaginable wealth, he was not in control of his own life...

"Is there really no room for maneuver in this matter?" Ye Hongli said somewhat unwillingly.

Ye Xuan had barely just regained his senses and also possessed superior skills, but now he was to be taken back to the Main Family by a mere word, to be ordered around.

As a grandfather, how could Ye Hongli tolerate such a thing?

Ye Hongyi didn’t look at Ye Hongli but looked towards Ye Xuan and sighed, "This order came from Young Master Ye Lingfeng, there’s basically no room to maneuver."

"Ye Lingfeng!" Upon hearing these words, Ye Hongli’s face drastically changed.

Although it had been many years since he left the Ye Family, because of his relationship with Ye Hongyi, he often received news about the Ye Family.

Among those, he had heard quite a bit about Ye Lingfeng.

Ye Lingfeng, one of the young masters of the Ye Family Main House. At his birth, there was a sign of auspiciousness, he awakened the Martial King Divine Body at the age of three.

He opened the Divine Gate at twelve, awakened the Ninth Rank spirit of the Void Divine Realm—Heavenly Martial General.

He forged nine Perfect Daoist Platforms at thirteen.

He stepped into the rank of Prince at sixteen.

He condensed seven Grotto Heavens at eighteen.

He stepped into Heavenly Phenomenon at twenty.

Now at twenty-three, he has already achieved a Perfect Life Palace and is about to step into an even higher realm!

Such terrifying talent, even within the Ye Family Main House, was extremely astonishing.

With the support of the colossal entity that is the Ye Family, his future achievements were bound to be terrifying.

It was because he knew all this that Ye Hongli felt panicked.

This kind of extraordinary genius speaking out—if he chose to refuse, he didn’t know what kind of blow Wan’an City Ye Family would suffer.

"Younger brother, now you understand my predicament," Ye Hongyi sighed slightly.

Ye Hongli slightly nodded. He knew that many things were because his brother was there; otherwise, he might have ceased to exist long ago.

Having said up to this point by Ye Hongyi, he knew that there was no way back in this matter.

"Give me a couple of days to think about it," Ye Hongli sighed.

"Alright." This time, Ye Hongyi didn’t refuse.

"Ye Family Main House’s Ye Lingfeng?" Ye Xuan then came over, hands in pockets, his expression calm.

"Ah? You heard?" Ye Hongli and Ye Hongyi were both startled suddenly.

Although they had been speaking softly just now, they had also set up a soundproof barrier; logically, only the two of them should have been able to hear it.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan had heard everything.

"Since you’ve heard it, then what do you think?" Ye Hongyi looked at Ye Xuan.

Ye Hongli looked at Ye Xuan, feeling somewhat guilty, "Xuan, whatever you decide to do, Grandpa will support you."

Ye Xuan lightly smiled and said, "I don’t know who this Ye Lingfeng is, but does he think he can make me a servant? Let him come before me and see who bows their head."

Such were incredibly arrogant and haughty words.

But spoken by Ye Xuan, they came off as calm and unassuming as if it was a trivial matter.

"......" Ye Hongyi was momentarily speechless, he took a deep breath, his expression solemn, "Xuan, I know you have extraordinary talent, and you are bound to achieve something great in the future, hence you have pride."

"However, you absolutely shouldn’t underestimate Ye Lingfeng; he might not be too fearsome within the Main Family, but in the Southern Domain, he is definitely one of the top geniuses!"

Amid Ye Xuan’s words, Ye Hongyi was not greatly surprised.

After all, young people are all proud and high-spirited, so when someone said they wanted to make them a slave, anger naturally arose.

But Ye Hongyi was very clear that Ye Lingfeng’s strength was definitely incomparable to those so-called geniuses of the Southern Domain.

He was afraid Ye Xuan might do something rash, so he had to make Ye Xuan aware of how terrifying Ye Lingfeng was.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan calmly said, "Great-grandfather, I can clearly tell you that the so-called geniuses in your eyes are mere rubble in mine."

Still natural and easy-going, but his words were still boundlessly arrogant!

Ye Xuan indeed had his own pride.

In his heart, there was an infinite universe, a vast starry sky.

The geniuses he had encountered were as numerous as the sands of the Ganges.

The demons he had crushed were even more countless.

In front of him, so-called geniuses were just rubble.

But these words sounded different in the ears of Ye Hongli and Ye Hongyi.

Not to mention Ye Hongyi, even Ye Hongli felt that Ye Xuan was a bit too arrogant.

"Xuan, I understand your thoughts, but think about it, entering the Main Family afterward also has many benefits, such as more massive cultivation resources and more advanced Divine Communication Skills. These are very hard to come by in the Southern Domain," Ye Hongyi said, softening his tone, gently persuading.

He knew that young people had stubborn temperaments, and it might be difficult to make them bow their heads willingly, so it was better to change the approach.

"Oh?" Ye Xuan laughed lightly, saying slowly, "Then I wonder how many Great Emperor Immortal Skills are there in the Ye Family? Is their foundation thicker than that of the Immortal King Hall?"

Ye Hongyi: "......"

He felt somewhat helpless toward this grandson.

The Ye family was indeed very powerful, but Great Emperor Immortal Skills were not something they could just casually produce.

As for the foundation...

Compared to an ancient existence like the Immortal King Hall, it indeed fell far short.

"Let’s not even mention that the Ye family doesn’t have this foundation, even if they did..."

"What right do they have to make me, Ye Xuan, their slave?"

Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, a faint hint of killing intent in their depths.

Ever since the incident with the Tomb Emperor’s lord, the thing he hated most in his life was others trying to manipulate him.

No matter the reason.

It wouldn’t work.

Because...

He is Ye Xuan!

Simply because he is Ye Xuan!

Ye Xuan calmly looked at Ye Hongyi.

Ye Hongyi looked back at Ye Xuan.

At that moment, Ye Hongyi felt an inexplicable chill run down his spine.

In Ye Xuan’s gaze, he seemed to see the rise and fall of eons, a throne built from countless bones, and on that throne, there was a silhouette.

That silhouette seemed to gradually overlap with Ye Xuan!

At that instant, Ye Hongyi hardly dared to breathe, even feeling an illusion of needing to kneel and submit!

Bang!

Fortunately, Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze.

At that moment, Ye Hongyi, like a drowning man saved, gasped for air, his heart already churning with shock and awe!

It was too terrifying!

That gaze seemed as if it could suppress the ages.

’Little Xuan has received an astonishing opportunity!’

Ye Hongyi looked at the youth in the black robe, his heart trembling profoundly.

He determined that Ye Xuan had definitely received an amazing opportunity; otherwise, he couldn’t possibly be so formidable.

But still, was this truly enough to contend against the Ye Family Main House...

This raised a huge question mark.

But Ye Hongyi was very clear, expecting Ye Xuan to willingly return to the Ye Family was impossible.

"Xuan, defeat me!"

Ye Hongyi’s gaze blazed as he looked at Ye Xuan and said resolutely, "Defeat me, and I will leave and speak no more of this matter."
