Chapter 24

~~

Du Han Yue's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, his face wearing a stiff smile. After a while, he awkwardly retracted his hand, his face flushed as if he had been slapped hard.

The smile on Du Han Yue's face had long vanished, his eyes filled with resentment as he stared intently at Lin Ziyuan's retreating back. If it weren't for the fact that Lin Ziyuan had descended from a Dao Vessel carriage, Du Han Yue would have already lost control and attacked.

The Du Family was one of the three major families in Qingyue City, and Du Han Yue was the strongest among the young generation of the Du Family. Who in the entire Qingyue City dared to ignore him like this?!

"Riding in a Dao Vessel carriage, this girl must have a complicated background. Is she here for the Ye Family? What is her relationship with the Ye Family?" The head of the Du Family, Du Yuanming, General Zhou Wu, and Dong He all frowned, speculating in their hearts.

Ye Zhengqing, Ye Hai, Ye Yi, Ye Jingjing, and others looked at Lin Ziyuan, who was walking slowly towards them, with puzzled expressions. Clearly, they had no idea who Lin Ziyuan was.

However, Lin Ziyuan had arrived in a Dao Vessel carriage, and in Qingyue City, only a few people had the qualifications to ride in such a carriage. This made Ye Zhengqing and the others dare not take her lightly.

"Grandpa Ye, hello!" Lin Ziyuan politely bowed slightly to Ye Zhengqing and greeted him with a sweet voice, her voice light and elegant, like beautiful music. Then, her gaze swept over the crowd, searching for Ye Wei's figure.

A few days ago, Lin Ziyuan had said she would introduce Ye Wei to Master Yi. Now that she had received Master Yi's response, she couldn't wait to find Ye Wei.

"Little girl, who are you looking for?" Ye Zhengqing looked at the well-behaved and sensible Lin Ziyuan with a puzzled expression. It wasn't hard to see from her gaze that this little girl was definitely looking for someone.

Does someone in the Ye Family know this little girl?

"I'm looking for Ye Wei." Lin Ziyuan looked for a long time but still couldn't see Ye Wei's figure. She retracted her gaze and looked at Ye Zhengqing, saying.

Looking for Ye Wei?

Ye Zhengqing, Ye Hai, Ye Yi, Ye Jingjing, and others were all stunned. This little girl, with her stunning beauty, outstanding气质, and deep background, was actually looking for Ye Wei?

If she were looking for Ye Zhong, it would be easier to understand. After all, Ye Zhong was the best among the young generation of the Ye Family, and it was normal for a little girl to be infatuated with him. Even if the Ye Family had fallen on hard times, Ye Zhong probably wouldn't be a match for this little girl.

But this little girl was looking for Ye Wei!

Ye Wei's spiritual sea talent was only at the Red level, the worst among the young generation of the Ye Family. After three years of study at Nansheng Academy, his cultivation was still at the First Star Apprentice level. In every aspect, Ye Wei was unremarkable. How could he know such an outstanding girl?

"Ziyuan... Sister, why are you here?" Ye Wei asked, the word "Sister" still a bit hard for him to say. Ye Wei, standing in the corner of the crowd, slowly walked out and looked at Lin Ziyuan.

"Ziyuan? Is this little girl Ye Wei's substitute teacher, Lin Ziyuan?" Ye Zhong's eyes flashed with surprise. He had only heard Ye Wei talk about Lin Ziyuan and never imagined that she would be so beautiful. Lin Ziyuan's demeanor was elegant and noble, and she was said to have excellent talent.

Compared to Lin Ziyuan, Qiao Yiner was like a weed! No wonder Ye Wei's heart was completely free of Qiao Yiner's shadow.

What is the relationship between Ye Wei and this little girl? Ye Zhengqing, Ye Yi, and others all widened their eyes, looking at Ye Wei in surprise.

"Ye Family, are you going to participate in the duel or not? Unrelated people should leave quickly and not obstruct the duel!" Du Han Yue, who had been ignored by Lin Ziyuan, was unhappy and shouted.

Hearing Du Han Yue's words, Lin Ziyuan's delicate brows furrowed, and a look of displeasure appeared on her face. She huffed lightly and glanced at Du Han Yue, saying, "Do you know that interrupting others is very impolite?"

Impolite? Du Han Yue laughed inwardly. This little girl probably hadn't seen much of the world and came to find her little lover without considering the situation.

Du Han Yue was about to say something to teach Lin Ziyuan a lesson, but Du Yuanming suddenly held him back. A deep look of fear appeared in his eyes because he saw a pattern of a tulip embroidered on the corner of Lin Ziyuan's clothes. The pattern was very small, about the size of a thumb, and most people wouldn't notice it. But as a Seven-star Condensation Yuan expert, Du Yuanming saw it clearly.

"Tulip, could it be that terrifying family?" Du Yuanming's heart sank, feeling a cold sweat on his palms. Even if the other party was just a little girl, he couldn't bring himself to show any disrespect.

That family was not something the Du Family could oppose; they could destroy the entire Qingyue City with a wave of their hand!

Du Han Yue was surprised by his father's reaction, but he wasn't a fool. After Du Yuanming held him back, he didn't dare to move.

Ye Zhengqing looked at Lin Ziyuan thoughtfully.

Just as everyone was speculating about the relationship between Lin Ziyuan and Ye Wei, Lin Ziyuan opened her lips and said with a smile, "Come, Ye Wei, let's go see Master Yi together!"

"See Master Yi, now?" Ye Wei looked at the Du Family people and then at Du Xianhong, who had already stepped onto the arena, frowning slightly.

The duel between the Du Family and the Ye Family was about to begin. How could he leave at this time? Although he knew that staying here wouldn't make much of a difference, he still couldn't put his mind at ease.

He couldn't put his mind at ease about the Ye Family, and he couldn't put his mind at ease about his cousin Ye Zhong!

Now everything depended on his cousin Ye Zhong. Even though he had helped Ye Zhong perfect three divine abilities, Du Han Yue was a Six-star Warrior, a whole level higher than Ye Zhong.

"Yes, Master Yi rarely has time. If you miss this opportunity, it will be hard to see Master Yi again!" Lin Ziyuan said. She didn't understand the current situation in the Ye Family's arena and didn't know that it was a matter of life and death for the Ye Family. She thought it was just a regular duel between two families.

"But..." Ye Wei frowned, hesitating.

Could his cousin Ye Zhong defeat Du Han Yue with the White Tiger Life-Ending Divine Ability? Ye Wei had no confidence at all and was very worried about his cousin.

With Ye Zhong's character, for victory, he wouldn't even flinch at the cost of his life.

Should he leave at this time?

"Master Yi wants to see Ye Wei? What is going on?!" Hearing the conversation between Lin Ziyuan and Ye Wei, everyone in the Ye Family was stunned.

Everyone knew that in Qingyue City, the person with the highest status was not the city lord, not the heads of the three major families, and not the dean of Nansheng Academy, but Master Yi!

Even the heads of the three major families, the city lord, and the dean found it hard to see Master Yi, let alone others.

Ye Zhong walked up to Ye Wei, patted his shoulder, and said softly, "Ye Wei, this is your chance, and you absolutely cannot miss it! If you can gain Master Yi's favor, you can ask Master Yi to help our Ye Family!"

"Brother Ye Zhong..." Ye Wei looked up at Ye Zhong, biting his lips, his eyes filled with worry.

"Don't hesitate!" Ye Zhong said firmly, pushing Ye Wei out.

Ye Wei gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Ziyuan, saying, "Okay! Sister Ziyuan, I'll go with you!"

Lin Ziyuan blinked, looking puzzled. Wasn't it a good thing for Ye Wei to go see Master Yi? Why did it seem like he was going to the executioner's block? She didn't understand the current situation.

"Ye Wei, since Master Yi is looking for you, go quickly!" Ye Yi patted Ye Wei's shoulder, saying. From the conversation between Ye Wei and Ye Zhong, Ye Yi felt that the two brothers were hiding something. For Ye Wei to gain Master Yi's favor? This was really hard to imagine!

But since Master Yi was calling Ye Wei, he should go quickly. Ye Wei staying here wouldn't help!

Whether it was Ye Zhengqing, Ye Hai, Ye Yi, or others, they were all full of doubts, but they wouldn't stop Ye Wei.

"I'll come back as soon as possible!" Ye Wei took a deep breath. Master Yi wanting to see him was an opportunity that Sister Ziyuan had fought for him. If he wanted to rise, he had to seize this opportunity! As Brother Ye Zhong said, if he could gain Master Yi's favor, he could ask Master Yi to help the Ye Family out of trouble!

"Sister Ziyuan, let's go!" Ye Wei no longer hesitated and looked at Lin Ziyuan.

"Okay!" Lin Ziyuan smiled and nodded, leading Ye Wei towards the Dao Vessel carriage.

Buzz—

The Dao Vessel carriage, entirely blue, vibrated slightly, slowly rising. Dazzling divine patterns flowed continuously, activating a vast amount of yuan qi, crushing the air waves. With a whistling sound, it soared into the sky and sped away.
