Li Yunxi was very happy and relieved after hearing this. He laughed loudly, "Haha~ This is retribution, you deserve it! You are so ungrateful, even God can't stand it!"
Due to a lot of coincidences, Feng Yue finally fell into her hands.
"Senior, I really don't mean to discredit you. By the way, I'll give you this bead, will you please spare my life?" Feng Yue handed over the bead tremblingly.
Li Yunxi looked at it with disdain. She looked down upon such junk and she didn't want to continue to be entangled with this disgusting woman. So in a thought, Feng Yue and Yuan Li were scared to death.
After getting rid of Feng Yue and the other person, Li Yunxi took out the flying boat and asked Ye Linglong to drive to the Ye family's lair.
The Ye family's lair was in a place called Hanfeng Valley in the Central Region, about 500,000 miles away from Muyang City. Even if Li Yunxi flew by herself, it would take about 5 days. Naturally, she didn't want to endure the trouble, so she had to take a flying boat. At most, it would just take a little more time.
After a boring half-month journey, Li Yunxi finally arrived at the Cold Wind Valley. The first thing that caught his eye was a huge city called Cold Wind City. This place belonged to the outskirts of the Ye family. It was originally just a piece of wasteland. With the rise of the Ye family, more and more people came here to do business or ask questions, and gradually formed a large-scale city, which was also under the jurisdiction of the Ye family.
"Haha, the Ye family is quite powerful!" Li Yunxi and Ye Linglong said with a smile as they walked on the streets of Hanfeng City.
“Of course. Our Ye family is one of the top 8-star forces among the independent families in the Central Region. In the Central Region, there are basically only five 9-star sects that can suppress us.” Ye Linglong said with her head held high and her chest puffed out, looking proud.
"Tsk~ You mention your Ye family, but are you from the Ye family? To put it bluntly, you are just working for the Ye family." Li Yunxi said disdainfully.
Through the conversation with Ye Linglong on the way, Li Yunxi learned that Ye Linglong was just an outer disciple of the Ye family, a non-staff member, even inferior to Ye Feng.
The Ye family is divided into the Inner Palace and the Outer Palace. Most of the people in the Outer Palace are disciples recruited by the Ye family and basically have no blood relationship with the Ye family. Only the people in the Inner Palace are the real members of the Ye family.
Of course, if the outer palace disciples are good enough, they can also be absorbed into the inner palace, but there is a prerequisite, that is, they must marry with the inner palace clan members, or become a son-in-law, or marry a man from the inner palace.
This is a common practice of these ancient families. It allows them to absorb outstanding talents from other ethnic groups to serve the family, and also allows the family's descendants to maintain excellent genes.
The reason why Ye Linglong's surname is Ye is purely a coincidence. Her surname Ye has nothing to do with the Ye family of Hanfeng Valley.
"Thank you for your concern, senior." Ye Linglong said indifferently. It can be seen that she is not very afraid of Li Yunxi. After getting along with her for half a month, she has roughly understood Li Yunxi's character. She is not an unreasonable person. Most of the time, her character is even like a child, which is completely disproportionate to her strength.
"You think the Ye family wouldn't know I was coming and set up an ambush in advance?" Li Yunxi asked casually while looking around.
"Senior, you should be very clear about this in your mind." Ye Linglong said.
"Haha, that's right. I'm here to cause trouble." Li Yunxi said with an embarrassed smile.
"Do you really have the strength to fight against the entire Ye family? Or even other forces that are on good terms with the Ye family?" Seeing Li Yunxi so calm, Ye Linglong finally asked the question that had been bothering her for a long time. After all, no matter how strong Li Yunxi was, it was impossible for him to fight against several masters of major forces alone. Even a wandering immortal could not do it. What's more, the Ye family had been preparing for such a long time, she would not find it strange that they could invite wandering immortals to help.
"You know nothing about my power." Li Yunxi just smiled and then came to a luxurious restaurant. The reason why she didn't go to the Ye family first when she came to Qingfeng Valley was because she must try the local food every time she arrived in a city.
After ordering a large table of dishes, Li Yunxi began to eat carefully, while Ye Linglong sat aside and watched coldly.
After finishing her meal, Li Yunxi walked out of the restaurant with satisfaction. When she was about to go to the Ye family, a man's voice appeared in her ears: "Linglong, didn't you go to Muyang City for a mission? When did you come back? Why didn't you inform me so that I could welcome you back!"
It turned out to be an acquaintance of Ye Linglong. Li Yunxi looked up and saw that the man had an average appearance, about 40 years old. Of course, he only looked like he was in his 40s. His actual age should be over 800 years old. His cultivation was in the early or late stage of out-of-body state, and his aptitude was pretty good in Xuantian Continent.
"Brother Ye Xun is thoughtful, but I have important matters to attend to now, so I'll excuse you." Ye Linglong said lightly, and was about to leave. It was obvious that she did not have much good feelings towards Ye Long.
Ye Xun grabbed her wrist and said, "Linglong, we are engaged. How can you treat your fiancé like this?"
"I don't agree to this." Ye Linglong bit her lip.
"You say you don't agree, so you just don't agree? You are just an outer disciple of our Ye family, almost like a retainer. What qualifications do you have to disagree? Besides, it is your blessing that I like you. Don't you want to become a real member of the Ye family?" Ye Xun said in a deep voice.
Ye Linglong didn't want to get entangled with Ye Xun any more, so she broke free from him and said to Li Yunxi, "Let's go!"
"Haha, I'm not in a hurry, you guys continue!" Li Yunxi said with a smile, and at the same time, he got a small stool from somewhere and sat down on it.
Ye Xun noticed Li Yunxi at this time, and his eyes lit up immediately. He couldn't help but be amazed by Li Yunxi's appearance, but soon he frowned, feeling a little disappointed: "What a pity, she is just an ordinary mortal."
Originally, he was thinking of marrying Li Yunxi as well, but when he saw that there was no spiritual energy fluctuation from Li Yunxi, he immediately lost interest. After all, the Ye family had very high requirements for the partners of their offspring.
"Haha, it would be nice to have some fun later." Ye Xun thought to himself.
Then he turned his attention to Ye Linglong: "Ye Linglong, I have to know that my Ye family always keeps its word. My great-grandfather agreed to my taking you as a concubine. Even Ye Jun can't offend my great-grandfather for you!"
"Yeah." Ye Linglong smiled bitterly. She had volunteered to go to Muyang City just to ask Ye Jun for help. She used to be Ye Jun's subordinate and had made many contributions to Ye Jun. She thought that it would not be difficult for Ye Jun to help her turn down this marriage with his status in the Ye family. However, after she told Ye Jun about this, Ye Jun refused without hesitation.
However, Ye Linglong could also understand it. After all, Ye Xun's great-grandfather was an elder of the Ye family. Even if he was an elder at the bottom, his influence in the Ye family was extraordinary. Although Ye Xun's great-grandfather would give face to Ye Jun as long as he said a word, it might leave a grudge in the other person's heart. It was really not worth it for her, a cultivator in the middle stage of the out-of-body state.
