The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 464 - 463: Welcome

Chapter 464: Chapter 463: Welcome

"Kill me? You can try," Ye Xuan said calmly.

The imposing pressure from Ye Linghai had no effect on Ye Xuan at all.

Seeing Ye Xuan so composed, Ye Linghai’s eyes narrowed, and a smile suddenly appeared on his handsome face. He slowly sat back down and retracted his pressure.

"I suppose you say these things because you come from a branch family and hold certain dissatisfaction towards the Main Family, right?"

Ye Linghai said with a half-smile.

His grandfather, Ye Qingyun, was the publicly acknowledged number one expert of the Ye Family, having held the position of Family Head for a very, very long time.

Even a strong figure like Ye Chengshan, that old man, couldn’t shake his grandfather’s status. Now it had been almost taken seriously because of just a few words from this kid.

"I won’t blame you for this, but I do not wish to hear such words again once we are back at the Main Family, otherwise I might not be able to protect you,"

Ye Linghai gave Ye Xuan a sidelong glance and then slowly closed his eyes to rest.

In Ye Linghai’s heart, Ye Xuan was marked as a rebellious genius.

This kind of genius has many flaws, but if well-polished, can certainly become a raw gem.

Once back at the Ye Family, Ye Linghai had plenty of ways to make Ye Xuan submit.

For the time being, he couldn’t be bothered to make a move.

If he himself took action to suppress Ye Xuan, it would be meaningless.

This was not what Ye Linghai wanted.

Ye Linghai didn’t realize how close he had come to death just now.

If Ye Linghai had really been tactless enough to strike at Ye Xuan, then the person who would have died would definitely have been Ye Linghai!

This point was absolutely certain, with no chance for any mishaps.

Seeing that Ye Linghai didn’t make another move, Ye Xuan was also happy to enjoy the peace.

To tell the truth, he didn’t really take the so-called four great prodigies of the Ye Family seriously.

There were very few people in this world who could catch Ye Xuan’s Eye.

"My lord, have you returned?"

At that moment, Ye Xuan’s Communication Jade Token lit up, and Ye Baikui’s voice reached Ye Xuan’s ears.

It was clear to hear that Ye Baikui was being careful, seemingly afraid of disturbing Ye Xuan.

"I’ve returned,"

Ye Xuan answered the jade token.

This made Ye Linghai open his eyes and look at the Communication Jade Token in Ye Xuan’s hand, somewhat puzzled.

Does this guy have other connections within the Ye Family?

Ye Linghai merely glanced at it and then dismissed the thought.

As far as he was concerned, none of that mattered.

Could Ye Xuan’s connections within the Ye Family be greater than his own?

The journey continued without conversation.

The Blood Flood Dragon Imperial Chariot sped on its way.

In another Imperial Chariot, Ye Lingtian’s eyes shone like stars, with an indescribable domineering aura.

Ye Lingtian might be young, but he already possessed the authoritative aura of a superior.

Compared to his brother, Ye Lingfeng, Ye Lingtian was the true prodigy of his generation.

With every breath, the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy was drawn towards him.

The ability to affect the surroundings with mere breathing was beyond the capabilities of a cultivator of the Yin Yang Realm.

"Ye Xuan, seems to be the follower that Lingfeng wants?"

Ye Lingtian murmured softly, a smile slowly spreading across his lips, "It seems he has quite the eye for talent."

He had heard his younger brother, Ye Lingfeng, mention before that he wanted a disciple from the Southern Domain branch family, named Ye Xuan, who was a seed left by Ye Mingtian.

That Ye Mingtian had been a rival of his father.

No,

to be precise, he had been a rival of his father in the past, but now, no one in the second generation of the Ye Family could compare to the miraculous Ye Mingtian.

Ye Lingtian had naturally witnessed the confrontation between Ye Linghai and Ye Xuan.

He had a certain appreciation for Ye Xuan in his heart.

Although he had never met Ye Mingtian, he couldn’t help but marvel that Ye Xuan was indeed his son, and very talented at that.

Given time, he would certainly be extraordinary.

An hour later,

the Blood Flood Dragon Imperial Chariot returned to the Ye Family.

When they got off the chariot, both Ye Lingtian and Ye Linghai were taken aback.

Usually when they hurried back to the Ye Family, it would cause a stir, and many of the Ye Family disciples would come out to meet them.

But this time, the welcoming party was sparse, totaling just three people.

And among those three, two were a surprise to them.

"Great Ancestor?!"

Ye Lingtian and Ye Linghai exclaimed with joy as they looked at one of the individuals, bowing respectfully.

But in their hearts, both were filled with questions.

Isn’t the Ancestor in seclusion? Why would he appear here?

Could it be that he knew they were coming back, so he came to receive them?

With this thought in mind, both of them felt surprisingly honored.

Even though they were known as the four great prodigies of the Ye Family, they had only seen the Ancestor a few times, let alone being received by him personally.

"The Ancestor?!"

"Isn’t that our Ye Family’s elder Ancestor?"

The Ye Family experts nearby, upon seeing the actions of Ye Lingtian and Ye Linghai, were also overjoyed and hurriedly paid their respectful salutations, their hearts filling with excitement.

The Ancestor actually personally appeared to welcome the two young masters?

Doesn’t that mean that from now on, the two young masters’ status in the Ye Family will rise even higher?

And as the personal escorts to the young masters, their statuses would naturally become higher as well.

For a moment, their thoughts were racing.

"What’s the matter?" Ye Xuan, walking at the back, yawned as he asked with his hands in his pockets.

The three who had come to welcome them were indeed three of the ten Ancestors of the Ye Family: Ye Zhengrong, Ye Baikui, and Ye Chen.

Seeing the trio’s expressions, it was clear there was an issue at hand.

However, as soon as Ye Xuan spoke, he shocked Ye Lingtian and Ye Linghai, with Ye Linghai hurriedly admonishing, "Ye Xuan, show some respect, this is our Ye Family’s elder Ancestor!"

In their excitement, they had forgotten about Ye Xuan.

They had not expected Ye Xuan to be so bold as to act so unrestrained in the presence of the elder Ancestor!

"Please forgive us, elder Ancestor, Ye Xuan is from a branch family and has not met you before, so..." Ye Lingtian began to apologize to Ye Chen.

Before Ye Lingtian could finish speaking, Ye Baikui interrupted him and walked towards Ye Xuan, bowing respectfully, "Young master, you have finally returned."

"Young master." Both Ye Zhengrong and Ye Chen, without regard to Ye Lingtian and Ye Linghai, also paid their respects to Ye Xuan.

"Young, young master?!" Ye Linghai almost fainted from shock, staring blankly at the three Ancestors, "Ancestors, weren’t you here to welcome us?"

Ye Lingtian was also breathless, his pupils rapidly constricting.

"Welcome you? What are you?" Ye Baikui glanced at the two disdainfully.

That glance made the two feel as if they were falling into an abyss, their bodies drenched in cold sweat.

"Uncle Ancestor Baikui, they are Ye Lingtian and Ye Linghai," said Ye Chen as if he had just remembered, taking the initiative to explain.

"Uncle Ancestor Baikui..." Upon hearing Ye Chen’s address for Ye Baikui, the two were completely dumbfounded.

Wasn’t this the legendary leader of the nine Ancestors, Ye Baikui?

He was still alive?!

And he was right in front of them?

Ye Baikui casually glanced at the two, saying indifferently, "Step aside, we have something to discuss with the young master."

This request caused a complex mix of emotions in Ye Lingtian and Ye Linghai.

Neither were fools; they suddenly speculated a lot in an instant.

But...

Why were these three Ancestors calling Ye Xuan "young master" and being so respectful?!

Ye Lingtian and Ye Linghai were already shaken, and the other Ye Family experts were even more astonished.

What’s going on?

Weren’t the Ancestors here to welcome the two young masters? Why were they calling the boy from the branch family "young master"?!

If Ye Baikui knew what these people were thinking, he probably would have immediately slapped them. What are Ye Lingtian and Ye Linghai? Are they worthy of being welcomed by them?

The only person who would be treated so seriously by them was Ye Xuan!

Although they were filled with doubts, they dared not disobey and respectfully withdrew.

Before leaving, both Ye Lingtian and Ye Linghai’s gazes fell on Ye Xuan, filled with complexity.

They could not understand.

When had the Ye Family ever had such a personage that even the elder Ancestors had to show such respect?

"Could it be that he is the one who has cultivated the Primordial Hongmeng Heaven?"

After leaving, Ye Linghai couldn’t help but speak to Ye Lingtian.

Ye Lingtian’s expression darkened, his eyes narrowing as he said, "How should I know?"

He was not in a good mood.

All along, he had been the number one pride of the Ye Family, always receiving the highest standard of treatment.

But just now, he had suffered a great setback, unavoidably souring his mood.

"That’s right!" Ye Linghai suddenly remembered what Ye Xuan had said to him in the Imperial Chariot.

"Let’s go see grandfather!" he said gravely.

"What’s the matter?" Ye Lingtian asked, frowning.

"Ye Xuan said grandfather is no longer the Family Head!" Ye Linghai had a bad premonition.

Previously, he hadn’t taken it to heart, simply thinking that Ye Xuan was arrogant, and that was why he had said such words.

But now, he felt that something was amiss...
