Therefore, the servants didn't give Li Yan a friendly look when she brought Ye Jiahao back.

Li Yan suppressed her displeasure, knowing that today was different from the past.

This happens to be dinnertime.

When she arrived at the restaurant, she still had to greet the current head of the family, Ye Shiming.

Ye Shiming was somewhat surprised to see Li Yan and Ye Jiahao.

"Sister-in-law, Jiahao has been found? Why are you back?"

Li Yan felt quite awkward; she could clearly sense Ye Shiming's unwelcoming attitude.

This former second uncle didn't even offer a polite invitation to stay for dinner.

Her ex-sister-in-law wouldn't even give her a second glance.

At this moment, Ye Jiahao seemed to have lost his mind, wanting to go to the table to eat on his own.

He was very unhappy to see that his cousin had taken his previous spot.

"Get out of the way, this is my seat."

Ye Jiahao shoved his cousin away without any politeness, and the cousin fell to the ground.

"Ye Jiahao, why are you still as annoying as before?"

The manor is now my home, including the room you used to live in.

"Your father killed Grandpa, I don't know how you and your mother have the nerve to come back."

"This villa belongs to my family; the ones who should get out are your family!"

Ye Jiahao was used to being a troublemaker in the manor, and after being unconscious for so long, he really couldn't accept the change in his identity.

His cousin, of course, couldn't tolerate Ye Jiahao. Although they were close in age, the two ended up fighting.

"Stop! Ye Jiahao is a guest, why are you arguing with him?" Ye Shiming roared.

The servants then separated the two fighting children.

Li Yan felt exhausted and even more embarrassed. She regretted not being able to win over Ye Jiahao and instead coming back to humiliate herself. It was still early, and she could still leave.

Suddenly the weather outside changed, with a violent storm, torrential rain, lightning, and thunder.

"Sister-in-law, you can't leave in this weather anyway, so why don't you stay in the guest room for the night?" Ye Shiming said casually.

Anyway, because his older brother murdered his father, his sister-in-law divorced him, and they had long since broken ties with the Li family.

Allowing Li Yan and Ye Jiahao to stay for one night was simply a matter of basic courtesy.

Only then did Ye Jiahao realize that everything was different. He wanted to leave in a huff, but the weather outside was just too bad.

...

After absorbing the crow's essence, the ancestor gradually recovered.

But that only saved his life; his evil cultivation power only recovered to 20-30%. He lay in the ancestral grave for two more days before he could barely walk again.

He now has many people he wants revenge on.

Ye Bingkun, Ye Yi to Ye Jiu, and that little girl named Xiao Xi—this is the obsession that kept him going.

This also reminded him of a few years ago when Ye Bingkun came to the ancestral home to report that he had several promising assassins under his wing. At that time, he had just reached a certain level in his evil martial arts.

Thinking that these promising talents would be useful to him in the future, he remotely planted his mark on them.

Now the patriarch has set his sights on these few outstanding talents.

To fully restore one's power, one must absorb their essence and blood.

The old ancestor gradually made his way to the assassin's manor, located far out in the suburbs of Beijing.

"What the hell? Where are they? How come everyone's gone?"

The old ancestor couldn't believe it as he watched the manor become deserted.

It must be that bastard Ye Bingkun who moved everyone away.
