"call……"

After a long time, Old Man Lin let out a breath and looked at Ye Ziyi.

"Why... didn't you tell me this before?"

"Before? Did grandpa ever think about getting to know him before? Haha, grandpa didn't even ask me."

Ye Ziyi chuckled.

"Grandpa, I want to see what choice you will make. No matter what choice you make, I will respect you..."

"Aren't you afraid that I will really marry you to the Dragon Palace?"

Old man Ye was in a bad mood. What do you mean by respect for me? I don’t see that.

"Don't be afraid, because I won't let this happen... I will run away, and if he finds out, he will take me away! Even if he doesn't know, I will never go!"

Ye Ziyi's tone was very calm, even in the last sentence.

Old Man Ye knows his granddaughter well. She has her own code of conduct. If she is really pushed into a corner, she might rather die than obey.

"Alas... I'm sorry for wronging you."

Old Man Ye sighed and slowly stood up.

"I almost... made a big mistake!"

"Grandpa, I don't blame you."

Ye Ziyi shook her head.

"Well, you don't blame me, but I blame myself... I'm really old and confused. I actually believed what that wicked boy said. Not only did I almost hurt you, I almost destroyed the Ye family!"

Old Man Ye waved his hand.

"Okay, stop drinking and go to bed early... Then, wait for that guy to come to the Ye family and take you away."

"Will Grandpa let me go?"

Ye Ziyi looked at Old Man Ye and asked.

"I want to hold on, but a girl can't be kept away when she grows up!"

Old Man Ye smiled bitterly and walked out.

"I'm going back to rest...you should also go to bed early."

"Okay, good night, Grandpa."

Ye Ziyi stood up and walked Old Man Ye to the door.

"Don't see me off. I'm leaving."

After Old Man Ye finished speaking, he looked at the person guarding the door.

"Everyone, please retreat. There's no need to guard here."

After hearing what Old Man Ye said, the person guarding the door was stunned. No need to guard it anymore?

"Yes, old master."

They nodded and walked away quickly.

Ye Ziyi was also stunned. Does this count as... the release from house arrest?

"Thank you, Grandpa."

"Why thank me? It was my fault in the first place... Oh, don't contact that kid. Let him worry about it. Otherwise, I don't know when he will come to the Ye family! I'm waiting for him at the Ye family, but I don't want to wait for him too long... He kidnapped my great granddaughter. I have to make him worry and come to the Ye family in a hurry!"

Old Man Ye said to his granddaughter.

Hearing what grandpa said, Ye Ziyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After thinking for a while, she nodded: "Okay, I won't call him. Grandpa and I will wait for him to come together."

"Haha, yes, you have to stand on grandpa's side in this matter... I also want to see what position my granddaughter occupies in his heart. If it's not enough, he wants to take my granddaughter away? How is that possible!"

Old man Ye laughed.

"Go to bed early. I'm leaving now."

"Yeah, goodbye, Grandpa."

Ye Ziyi nodded and watched the old man walk away slowly.

However, she knew that even though the old man said he would go back to rest, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep all night.

Ye Ziyi returned to the room only after Old Man Ye’s back disappeared from her sight.

She curled up on the sofa, wanting someone to bring her the phone, but thinking of her grandfather's words, she held back.

"Please forgive my little willfulness. I also want you to come earlier..."

Ye Ziyi muttered to herself. She decided not to call Xiao Chen and wait for him to come.

Then she picked up the glass of red wine, drank it all, and went to the bathroom.

Take a bath, it's beautiful tonight.

…

A night passed.

Xiao Chen from Yangming didn't know the situation of the Ye family, nor did he know that Old Man Ye's attitude had changed.

After he woke up, he called Guan Duanshan.

"Good job, kid."

As soon as the phone was connected, Guan Duanshan's praise came.

"Lao Guan, I did a good job, don't you have any actual reward? Is it okay to just give verbal rewards all day long?"

Xiao Chen lit a cigarette and asked with a smile.

"What actual reward do you want? I'd like to give you a beautiful woman, but I don't have a granddaughter."

Guan Duanshan felt somewhat helpless.

“…”

Xiao Chen was speechless. Why was Old Guan so frivolous?

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to get on the plane. See you later."

Guan Duanshan said something.

"Hmm? You're coming to Yangming?"

Xiao Chen was surprised.

"Well, go and take a look."

Guan Duanshan paused when he said this.

"Wait for me there, don't leave first."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Xiao Chen nodded. He called to ask if Guan Duanshan was coming.

After hanging up the phone, he left the room.

The smell of blood is no longer there. On the contrary, compared to the rich spiritual energy in the outside world, just taking a breath makes people feel very comfortable.

"Are Lao Guan and his men planning to turn this place into a sanatorium for veteran cadres?"

Xiao Chen thought of something and looked strange.

Then he shook his head and told the child to do whatever he wanted. It was none of his business if it turned into a kindergarten.

He was not very interested in the paradise of the Duanmu family.

In comparison, he was more interested in the Duanmu family's background and...so much money!

Thinking of the money, he grinned. He really made a lot of money this time.

As for Duanmu Yun’s death… he had long forgotten about it.

"Brother Chen."

Zhuge Qingxi also got up, and when he saw Xiao Chen, he ran over.

"Well, Xixi, good morning."

Xiao Chen touched Zhuge Qingxi's head.

"This time... you have accomplished a great deed."

"Well, as long as I can help Brother Chen."

Zhuge Qingxi really liked being close to Xiao Chen, and smiled with his eyes narrowed.

"Haha... By the way, there is something. Can you help me take a look at it?"

Xiao Chen thought of something, took out his cell phone, found the photo, and handed it to Zhuge Qingxi.

"Do you know what this is?"

"It looks like some kind of totem, right? Why is it only half?"

Zhuge Qingxi looked at it for a few seconds and asked curiously.

"The other side... should have been destroyed."

Xiao Chen thought about it and said.

"Can you tell what totem it is? I think it has something to do with space."

"Is it related to space? Let me research it, or ask my brother and Uncle Seventh..."

Zhuge Qingxi looked at it for a while and said.

"Okay, I'll send it to you."

Xiao Chen nodded and sent the photo to Zhuge Qingxi.

"Brother Chen, next...are you going to the Ye family?"

Zhuge Qingxi looked at Xiao Chen, thought of something, and asked in a low voice.

"Well, I'm going to the Ye family."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Is it for Sister Ziyi?"

Zhuge Qingxi asked again.

"Yes...you know Zi Yi?"

Xiao Chen was a little surprised.

"I know her. I've met her twice. Sister Ziyi is very beautiful and very smart..."

Zhuge Qingxi nodded.

"Haha, Xixi is also very beautiful and smart."

Xiao Chen looked at Zhuge Qingxi. As they were both from the Twelve Noble Families, it seemed normal for them to have met before.

"Brother Chen, can I... go to the Ye family with you?"

Zhuge Qingxi asked.

"this……"

Xiao Chen hesitated. He went to the Ye family this time because of Ye Ziyi, and brought Zhuge Qingxi with him... It didn't seem good.

After all, who knows what Old Man Ye’s attitude is like? Bringing a few women with him would just add fuel to the fire, wouldn’t that?

"Forget it, I was just kidding. I have to go home too. My brother said that my mother missed me and asked me to go back to see her... I will come to see you after Brother Chen leaves the Ye family, okay?"

Zhuge Qingxi smiled and said.

"good."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Or, you can come to the Zhuge family to find me, and then we can leave together."

Zhuge Qingxi said again.

"Haha, that's fine. I will definitely go visit the Zhuge family."

Xiao Chen smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, let's keep in touch then."

Zhuge Qingxi smiled.

As the two were talking, more and more people appeared.

"Boy, is everything okay here? If nothing happens, we'll leave first."

Nangong Liang looked at Xiao Chen and said.

"Remember...when you're done, come to the Nangong family."

“…”

Xiao Chen was helpless, he felt that it would be better for him to have several clones.

"Why, not coming?"

Nangong Liang stared.

"I……"

"Go, go, go. I didn't say I wouldn't go. I will definitely go when I'm done with my work."

Xiao Chen said hurriedly.

"That's more like it... We won't get involved in the rest of the matter. I don't think Xuantian Sect will do anything. They suffered a lot of losses last night."

Nangong Liang said to Xiao Chen.

"By the way, Ling'er is leaving with us. She has some things to do when she returns to the Nangong family."

"Is Ling'er leaving too?"

Xiao Chen looked at Nangong Ling and asked.

"Um."

Nangong Ling nodded.

"When you are done, give me a call... I will accompany you and travel the world with a sword!"

Hearing Nangong Ling's words, Xiao Chen smiled and was also a little moved.

Of course he knew why Nangong Ling left. They were not suitable to go to the Ye family.

Zhuge Qingxi pouted and said, "Tsk, I can also travel the world with Brother Chen with a sword! Well, when I go back this time, I will practice sword fighting well!"

"When are you leaving?"

Xiao Chen asked.

"When the master comes, we will leave."

Nangong Ling said.

"good."

Xiao Chen nodded. The people from the Dragon Emperor will take over the Duanmu family today, and Nangong Bufan will definitely come.

"Brother Xiao, if there is nothing else, we are ready to leave."

Zhuge Qingyang and others also came over.

"good."

Xiao Chen nodded. Everything must come together and part, and all good things must come to an end.

They all came for him. Now that the Duanmu family has been destroyed, it’s time for them to leave.

After chatting with them for a while, Xiao Chen went to find Chu Xun and the others.

Many independent cultivators now stay in the Duanmu family.

They were all injured to varying degrees.

"Lao Xu, why are you injured all day long?"

Xiao Chen saw Xu Songshan. The old guy was seriously injured, but he seemed to be in good condition.

"How can this old man compete with young people?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Xu Songshan glared. He was fighting one against two last night, how could he not be injured? It was good enough that he didn't die.

"hehe."

Xiao Chen smiled but was not angry. He was still very touched that Old Xu supported him at the Heroes Conference.

"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense. Come, let me treat you."

"good."

Xu Songshan did not refuse out of anger, he knew how powerful this boy's medical skills were.
