Li Ling was in the front of the Ye Residence. She actually met someone whose physique is big and he had those muscle filled the entire body.

He is, of course, Ye Qingchng when he just finished his training. When he saw that Li Ling was standing, he closed the distance and also standing in front of her.

“May I know what are you doing here?” he asked. There was a little girl outside the residence and yet she only stood there of course Ye Qingcheng would ask himself what was she doing there.

“Uhm, I have an important matter but I don’t know what to do.” Li Ling said dejectedly.

“Important matter with someone from Ye Residence? Leave it to me!” Ye Qingcheng dragged her and enter the residence. Li Ling felt flabbergasted because of the development.

But she could only hold on. When they arrived at the garden, she saw two people chatting happily.

“Father!” of course Ye Qingcheng knew who they are. Currently, Ye Guhan discussed a few things with Ye Canghai. But after hearing that sound, both of them turned their neck to see the person.

“Oh, so it turns out to be you. But who is this girl?” Ye Guhan asked. But then Ye Canghai explained, “Why is Young Miss Li here with you?” Ye Canghai asked another question.

“What!? So she is the daughter of the mayor.” Ye Qingcheng surprised to hear that.

I’m here to tell Mister two things.” Li Ling said with her face showed her anxiousness. She even struggled to tell them.

In the end, she told them anything from the moment where the beasts appeared and started to chase after them. ThenLi Ling also told them about the condition Ye Yingyuan currently. As for the cause of it all, she could only hide it in her heart.

Li Ling was terrified when she thought about the consequences she would receive.

“Then we must arrange and deal with the beasts first. I will come to the mayor’s mansion with Young Miss Li.” Ye Canghai said.

“Me too, but I will help to defend the city first. After that deeds, I’ll make sure to visit the mayor’s mansion.”  Ye Guhan could not ignore this and also wanted to assist in defending the city.

-

Sounds of scream could be heard from the mayor’s mansion. Right now, Li Dian was focusing his entire being on removing the Death Pale Needle from Ye Yingyuan's back.

This needle was actually harmless, if not added by some Death Grass. Because when that needle met this type of grass, the mix could make anyone who was pierced by it to feel the sensation of slow death!

“It’s really hard. I don’t know how long can I remove the needle totally from his body.” He was using his energy to slowly picked the needle but the process was slow like a snail when it walked.

Every second that passed, the more energy he was spent and also the higher chance for Ye Yingyuan to die. To remove this needle, one also needed to have a large amount of energy.

Then suddenly, when he tried to do it once more a sound of the door being opened could be heard. Currently, Li Dian was in a room with Ye Yingyuan but now someone opened the door.

Previously, Li Dian already told anyone not to disturb him! But now someone easily entered the room!

“Where is he? What happened to him!?” from the sound of the speaker, Li Dian could recognize that the person was here for Ye Yingyuan.

“Come here.” Li Dian politely said to Ye Canghai.

After that came a long and boring conversation about the reason for Ye Yingyuan to became like that. Additionally, Li Dian also added that he need support from him to remove the needle.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

Luckily Ye Canghai agreed without a moment of hesitation. With the surplus energy from Ye Canghai, everything went more smoothly. And the needle, in the end, could be removed.

Then, Li Dian told the servant to bring the prepared herbs for Ye Yingyuan’s recovery.

But at the same time in the outer part of the city.

Ye Guhan was watching the tidal wave that consists of countless beasts! With some of the Xuan City soldiers, they reinforced the defense and made a barrier to strengthen the defensive capabilities they had.

Using his cultivation base as an Early Stage Culture Core cultivator, he swept his hands and then a wind appeared out of nowhere!

This winds at first seemed like any strong wind that usually appeared during the storm but after a few breaths time, the might of this wind started to show.

The beasts also felt this wind and at first started to slow down. But of course, most of them could resist this wind. They simply ignored it and then that was when those beasts realized that something was wrong.

Among those beasts, some have a shell or even a strong carapace to protect themselves from external attack and another used the crowd to blend and to camouflage but when the change in the wind occurred, most of them shrieked in agony!

The wind that blew now was like a cutter in invisible form, could not be seen and could only be felt! The weaker ones sent to their deaths immediately.

As for the stronger ones? They just delayed their own demise and their stronger defenses made them felt pain. Most of their power only comparable to Early Stage to Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, not comparable to one Culture Core ones.

“But now the real problem begins.” Ye Guhan then also heard the cheers from every soldier that participated in this. Then a leader of those soldiers showed himself and saluted Ye Guhan.

“Sir, the first wave of the beasts are eliminated. But the strongest of them are still lingering behind!”

He reported the situation over to Ye Guhan. In this Xuan city, if the mayor could not come himself he let someone from Ye family take the lead. But this was just for the temporary command and the highest command was still the mayor.

“Well, then we will continue to defend first. Wait until all the powerhouses were here.”

Until all of the power from the entire city united as one, there was no way they would attack those beasts outside.

-

“Umm, father? Why are you here?” Ye Yingyuan felt dizzy in his head and the world like spinning. “Just lay still on the bed! Your body is still not fully recovered.”

Ye Canghai told him. But the person in that room would increase again as another person came! This time two person came and they even instantly entered without reservation.

“Where is he!? And where are you, my husband?” this lady dragged along a young girl with her. When she came, the world turned silent. Maybe no one could rival her in this regard!

It was because she used strong sounds to said that! And the worse of it all, she was also someone famous in the city.

“No way....even mother came too.” Said Ye Yingyuan weakly. But when he also saw the young girl a Yu Feng’s side, he became powerless all of a sudden.

Soon after, she moved closer to him, checking his entire body with her energy and then hugged him tightly. But Ye Yingyuan only looked at the girl that his mother brought here.

“Why is she also here?” he asked. Because the girl was exactly Li Ling who he loathed in his heart.

But there were some things that should not need to reveal right now to Ye Yingyuan, at least for the time being. The only thing she did was avoiding his gaze!

But then Ye Canghai talked, “Hmm how should I do now? But the only witness to the sudden rising of the beasts are these two and now I don’t think my brother can wait any longer.”

“Same here. I also thought that we must defeat the leader right now!” Li Dian spoke his opinion.

“Then what are you hesitate for? Go! And return safely.” In the end, this was the only thing Yu Feng could say. Soon both Ye Canghai and Li Dian left to regroup with Ye Guhan.

After that, only three person remaining in this room.

“Son, why don’t you explain the situation first?” actually Yu Feng already heard the confession from Li Ling herself. A mysterious man that claimed to be a merchant from another city had sold her a bottle of paralyzing poison.

“This situation? I really not sure how to describe it but the most thing I can say is that everything was planned by someone. Mother, do you think of someone?”

“Don’t know but now you must rest and let Li Ling treat you alright.” Said Yu Feng. But Ye Yingyuan flatly rejected. “What!? From Mother and her, how can she the one who will treat me? Why don’t just Mother do it instead?”

From his tone, it was so obvious that he still had a grudge for Li Ling for insulting his parent. He didn’t care if she said it intentionally or just accidentally because once the words out, you could not retract it back!

“Ai, listen. You ended up like this because you are trying to protect her too right?” Yu Feng said slowly.

Although Ye Yingyuan held a grudge, it was only at the superficial level and not the deep ones that until one of them to die. No matter what, he started to look at bigger picture even this was not suitable for his age.

“So what? I helped her because that person real target was me all along, not her! To scheming even to this extent, this person really calculating to the small matter. But I think this kind of person will retreat and wait for the right time to act again if failed this time.”

His reasoning was not baseless either. In Ye Yingyuan’s heart, if he had not brought back here to the mayor’s mansion on time, he would have dead. And maybe, not even Li Ling would be spared either.

This was what made Ye Yingyuan confused and did not pursue the matter anymore.

Ye Yingyuan then felt his eye lids heavier and in the end fell asleep. “Please take good care of him. And you should try to get his apology, he really is a stubborn boy but actually also someone who repay other based on their deed to him.” Said Yu Feng.

She stroked his hair for a while before stood up once more. “The more you meet and communicate with a person, the more you can see from his movement and then you can understand his thought.”

This was the advice Yu Feng said to Li Ling to make her amend. Actually, both of them already talked about this but luckily Yu Feng forgave Li Ling’s past mistake as well as she becomes the main culprit for this incident.

Yu Feng would hide it until all trouble and the situation calmed down. After she left, Li Ling started to prepare for her works as a caretaker.

‘Madam Ye said that I must try my best to make him accept my apology! I decided, now until he accepts it I will never ignore him and try to meet him every time!’

That was Li Ling’s thought but when she tried to say those words, she unable to do that in fact. This cycle was happening for three years!

As for the beasts that launch an attack of Xuan City? Well, not that the battle was hard rather it was easy. Even Li Dian and Ye brothers were returning with so many raw materials from the beasts.

But on the other side at the certain cave. No need to tell you again, this incident was also his fruit of labor.

“If only I have that item! Damn the heavens for being blind!” even when the crystal in the case shone brightly, but inside this old man’s heart was only dark, black and monochrome.

When this was done, Manstein opened his eyes. It turned out that he could read Ye Yingyuan’s memory. But this was only due to his understanding about Soul Transfer method.

Only with this that Manstein could maintain his current position. As for now, he needed to extend the understanding of this world and merged it to his own path.
