Chapter 51

Miss Ye Shen Yue, he knew very well, would never agree to marry the young city lord, Chu He. Ye Shen Yue had once secretly told him that she detested Chu He.

But why, now, has she agreed?

"Is there something troubling Miss Ye Shen Yue, as decided by the family elders?"

Ye Feng thought to himself as he walked straight toward Ye Shen Yue's residence. No matter what, he had to figure everything out.

After all, Ye Shen Yue was a relatively close friend to him, and also a member of the same clan. He needed to know the truth.

The grand wedding is in three days?

If she truly agreed of her own volition, then Ye Feng wouldn't interfere.

But if Ye Shen Yue was forced to agree to the wedding in three days, Ye Feng would show no mercy to anyone!

Outside a palace in the central area of the Ye clan.

A solitary blue figure stood beside a pond with artificial hills.

Miss Ye Shen Yue, the young lady of the Ye family, was currently lost in thought, staring at the fish in the pond.

Her blue long dress outlined her perfect, graceful figure, but her beautiful, charming face was filled with worry.

Ye Shen Yue looked at the fish in the pond, and a bitter smile appeared on her fair and pure face, "Fish, fish, if only I could be as free and carefree as you... sigh..."

She sighed, and for some reason, her blue eyes reflected the image of a handsome young man in white.

"Ye Feng..."

Ye Shen Yue murmured. In her most helpless moment now, the only person she could think of was that white-clad young man.

Unfortunately, over a month ago, that young man in white disappeared into the Great Wasteland. She had gone back to search for him, but could not determine if Ye Feng was still alive in this world.

"But Father's injuries require the Dragon Blood Treasure Pill from the City Lord's residence to be treated. If I don't marry Chu He, he won't give me that Dragon Blood Treasure Pill..."

Ye Shen Yue was now plunged into endless despair, recalling Chu He's sinister face when he threatened her, which made her feel nauseous.

However, if she did not agree to marry Chu He, she would not get that Dragon Blood Treasure Pill.

Although her father did not want her to marry, as a daughter, how could Ye Shen Yue watch her father die like this?

"Only three days left until the wedding, Ye Feng, where are you...?"

Ye Shen Yue fell into deep dejection. Although she was the pride of the Ye clan and a disciple of the Sword Sect, she now felt a profound sense of powerlessness.

She could not break the deadlock; marrying Chu He seemed to be the only way out.

But marrying someone she despised so much, Ye Shen Yue felt so unwilling.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Suddenly, a light footsteps sounded beside Ye Shen Yue.

"Who's there?"

Ye Shen Yue's eyes turned cold, and she suddenly stood up, looking behind her.

But with just this turn, Ye Shen Yue saw a handsome young man in white standing in front of her, exactly the same as the figure she had just imagined in her mind.

"Ye Feng..."

Ye Shen Yue's voice trembled; she feared that everything before her was an illusion.

This young lady of the Ye clan trembled and extended a white, jade-like hand, touching Ye Feng's face.

"Miss, it's really me, I'm back."

Ye Feng, seeing Ye Shen Yue's haggard face, immediately understood that this wedding was definitely the result of threats and coercion.

In that instant, Ye Feng firmly held Ye Shen Yue's white hand and said in a cold voice, "Miss, what exactly happened?"

Half an hour later, Ye Shen Yue revealed the entire truth.

It turned out that the head of the Ye clan, Ye Shen Yue's father, had been severely injured and was on the brink of death, requiring the Dragon Blood Treasure Pill from the City Lord's residence to heal him.

Chu He, the young city lord of Nanyang County, had long coveted the beauty Ye Shen Yue.

He was cunning and took advantage of this opportunity to directly coerce Ye Shen Yue into marrying him.

Otherwise, he would never hand over the Dragon Blood Treasure Pill to the Ye clan.

Moreover, the elders of the Ye clan, to curry favor with the City Lord's residence, all joined forces.

These high-ranking elders showed their ugly faces, forcing Ye Shen Yue to marry Chu He, or they would remove her father, Ye Tianya, from his position as head of the clan.

"A bunch of old fossils! And that Chu He, how could he be so despicable!"

After hearing everything, Ye Feng's eyes immediately filled with a cold, intense killing intent.

Chu He's despicability aside, he never expected that the elders of the clan, who should have been the pillars of the family, would, at this critical moment, be willing to sacrifice the young lady of the clan, Ye Shen Yue, to curry favor with the City Lord's residence.

Outside the palace, Ye Feng stared at the beautiful woman in front of him, directly took her hand, and walked toward the central hall of the clan: "Let's go, I'll take you to talk to the elders and tell them you won't agree to this marriage."

"Ye Feng, but the elders of the clan are very powerful, we are no match for them. Even my father, as the head of the family, is helpless."

Ye Shen Yue's beautiful eyes were filled with despair as she spoke, not wanting Ye Feng to die for her.

But at this moment, Ye Feng suddenly turned around, stared at her, and said solemnly, "You are my friend and my clan sister. No one can force you to do something you don't want to do, I said it!"

Ye Feng's tone was firm and resolute, filled with an unyielding determination.

Ye Shen Yue looked at the serious face of the man in front of her, her beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

"No one can force you to do something you don't want to do, I said it..."

The resolute voice of Ye Feng echoed in her mind, and at this moment, Ye Shen Yue suddenly understood why many girls always hoped for a hero to appear and save them in their most dire moments.

In the past, as a proud and powerful young lady, Ye Shen Yue thought these were just the whims of weak girls.

But now, this young lady of the Ye clan, looking at the tall figure of the man who was leading her toward the central hall, suddenly understood that captivating feeling.

When her hero appeared, Ye Shen Yue suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of security and warmth.

"Ye Feng, no matter what, thank you."

Ye Shen Yue had already decided that if Ye Feng's actions angered the elders and they were to be killed by the powerful elders of the clan, she would die with Ye Feng.

"Perhaps, when I returned to the Great Wasteland without hesitation to search for you, Ye Feng, I already liked you..."

Ye Shen Yue, being led by Ye Feng, thought to herself, and a faint smile appeared on her beautiful, charming face, stunningly beautiful.
