Chapter 520: Returning to the Night Mansion (Part 3)
Ye Rui took a deep breath, gave a disappointed snort, and said, "The Ye family has three elders, Xiao Fei'er, you should know that, right?"
Ye Fei nodded: "I know."
"Elder Ye Ting is an alchemist, and your scoundrel father actually took advantage of the Elder's seclusion to sneak into the alchemy room and steal pills!"
At this point, Ye Rui, unable to contain his anger, slammed his hand on the stone table, his face full of fury. "We can guard against anything day and night, but it's hard to guard against a thief within our own household! How could the head of the family commit such a heinous act as theft! You have truly disappointed me!"
Ye Fei truly hadn't expected Ye Jingyao to steal elixirs, so it's no wonder her grandfather was so angry...
Being too eager for quick results backfired; Ye Jingyao's actions truly opened her eyes.
Ye Fei poured Ye Rui a fresh cup of tea and patted his hand reassuringly: "Don't be angry because of him, he's not worth it."
Ye Rui sensed the coldness in his granddaughter's words and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Even his own daughter treats her father this way... I'm afraid I'll never see Xiao Fei'er and Ye Jingyao reconcile in this lifetime.
"Let's not talk about him anymore." Ye Rui changed the subject, he was more concerned about the promising little Fei'er: "Are you going to the Eight Desolate Divine Realm next?"
Ye Fei nodded: "Yes, next month."
"Will that kid go with you?" Ye Rui turned his head and glanced at Li Yuan, who was sitting not far behind Ye Fei.
"Of course." Seeing Ye Rui's cautious look, Ye Fei couldn't help but chuckle. "Li is also a member of my team. She won't hurt me, Grandpa, don't worry."
As she spoke, she turned to look at the young man in black behind her. The young man felt her gaze, and when he met her eyes, there was a hint of tenderness in them.
Ye Rui, observing the eye contact between the two, realized instantly that Xiao Fei'er, "You..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Rui saw the figure of Elder Ye Ting flash past outside the courtyard.
Ye Fei noticed this too. She stood up with a smile and said to Ye Rui, "If Grandpa has something to do, then I won't bother you. I only came back today to visit you."
Ye Rui was a little reluctant to part, after all, it was a rare occasion for the grandfather and grandson to get together, and he didn't know when they would see each other again.
He understood that Xiao Fei'er had grown up and was about to embark on new adventures and trials. Leaving her here, even for just a day, might cause her to miss a good opportunity to cultivate.
“Grandpa doesn’t know much about the Eight Desolate Divine Realm, but he knows that place is very dangerous. Little Fei’er, you must protect yourself, understand?” Ye Rui said with a stern face. “At least, don’t get seriously injured, and don’t make Grandpa worry.”
Ye Fei smiled and said, "Yes, I know."
Ye Rui gave him some more instructions before reluctantly leaving.
...
As Ye Fei and Li Yuan left the courtyard and passed by the hall, they saw Ye Jingyao still kneeling on the ground with his back straight.
She paused slightly, then walked straight over.
As she leaned down, the girl's clear voice rang in Ye Jingyao's ear: "Aren't you surprised that I didn't die at the summit of Panlong as you wished?"
Ye Jingyao froze, staring at Ye Fei in disbelief.
Ye Fei smiled and said, "The Soul-Stealing Sand, you gave it to Ye Ning, didn't you?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingyao finally couldn't contain his emotions: "Did you kill Ning'er?"
Ye Fei smiled without saying a word.
Seeing that she remained silent, Ye Jingyao's fingertips trembled involuntarily: "She's your sister, how dare you..."
“When you gave the Soul-Stealing Sand to Ye Ning, we were no longer sisters.”
Ye Fei's voice suddenly turned extremely cold: "Ye Ning's death is just the beginning. Cherish your time as the head of the family... Perhaps one day, I won't be able to resist pulling you down from this supreme position!"
