In truth, Ye Wushuang is not afraid of the Yun family, the Qin family, or anyone else now. Even if someone from the Vein Condensation Stage comes to kill him, he has the confidence to escape. Once he reaches the eighth or ninth level of Physical Refinement, those from the Vein Condensation Stage will pose no threat to him. This is the confidence he gained from being the Heavenly Emperor in his previous life!
Xu Qiyuan's desire to stay at Ye Mansion is not only to study the spiritual formation but likely also to learn more about formation techniques from him. However, after interacting with Xu Qiyuan, Ye Wushuang finds him to be well-intentioned and genuinely talented in the art of formations. Offering some guidance to him is not a problem.
Upon arriving at the main gate of Ye Mansion, a petite figure pokes her head out.
"Brother!"
Ye Feifei, seeing Ye Wushuang's return, is overjoyed and throws herself into his arms.
"Look!"
Ye Wushuang takes out the candied hawthorn on a stick and hands it to Ye Feifei.
Her face lights up with excitement, "I knew brother would definitely buy it for me."
She unwraps the oil paper to reveal the candied hawthorns, which have been crushed again.
Ye Wushuang scratches his head awkwardly and laughs, "This... Next time... Next time I'll bring you some that are not crushed."
Ye Feifei picks up the candied hawthorn, takes a bite, and smiles sweetly, "I like whatever brother brings."
She is sensible enough to understand that her elder brother must have faced danger this time out, but since he is back safe and sound without mentioning it, she won't ask.
"This is Xu Qiyuan, a friend I just met. With him around, even without the formation, the mansion will be well-protected."
Xu Qiyuan greets Ye Feifei with a smile, and the three of them enter the mansion together.
Ye Mansion, the main hall.
The dozen servants Ye Wushuang brought back have been busy all day, and now Ye Mansion finally doesn't look as dilapidated as before; it's at least presentable.
In the main hall, next to the table, Ye Wushuang, Ye Qingfeng, Liu Mei, Ye Feifei, He Bo, as well as Xu Qiyuan and Xiao Yuan are all present.
Now that there are servants, He Bo doesn't have to work every day; he just needs to give orders.
In the eyes of Ye Wushuang, Ye Qingfeng, and Ye Feifei, He Bo is already part of their family, not just an old servant.
"Feifei!"
At this moment, Ye Wushuang takes out a wooden box, opens it to reveal twenty Refining Qi Pills lying inside, with a smooth color and a faint fragrance.
"These are Refining Qi Pills. Starting today, I will teach you a meditation technique. You will start practicing every day, drawing spiritual energy into your body, and with the help of these pills, take one every ten days, understand?"
Ye Feifei takes the pills, her face excited, "I will definitely become a stronger warrior than my brother."
"Definitely!"
Ye Wushuang then takes out another wooden box, and ten Inner Essence Pills appear.
"Xiao Yuan, you are now at the eighth level of Physical Refinement. Ten Inner Essence Pills are just right for you. As for how to take them, you can decide for yourself."
Xiao Yuan takes the box and nods.
Ye Wushuang then takes out another wooden box and hands it to Liu Mei.
"Mother, here are ten Youth Preservation Pills. You can take them; they will not only transform your appearance but also strengthen your body."
Liu Mei takes the box and smiles with relief.
Ye Wushuang then turns to Ye Qingfeng and says, "Uncle, I have refined ten Bone Mending Pills for you to mend your bones. However, since your leg has been broken for a long time, it will take time to recover slowly. Once your leg injury is healed, I will address your life span issue."
Ye Qingfeng takes the box, his eyes getting a little moist, "Wushuang, Uncle... really doesn't have to die?"
"Really can!"
"Good!"
For a moment, Ye Qingfeng is overwhelmed with emotion, his eyes turning red.
In just two short days, the Ye family has gone from despair to being filled with hope. The family sits together, never having been so relaxed.
And Ye Qingfeng, Liu Mei, and Ye Feifei all know that this relaxation comes from Ye Wushuang's efforts!
However, while one family rejoices, another sorrows. The Yun family is not so joyful at the moment...
In Flowing Moon City, within the Yun Mansion, Yun Qingyue's face was pale with anger, her expression indifferent as she looked at the person in front of her.
"All twelve are dead?" she asked coldly.
"Yes," the guard replied, bowing his head. "Both Wang Xu and Wang Chang, brothers who were at the ninth level, should have had no difficulty killing Ye Wushuang. But who would have thought that a young man, about nineteen years old and at the Vein Condensation Stage, appeared by Ye Wushuang's side. It was he who killed the Wang brothers... And Ye Wushuang himself was able to slay four at the seventh level. He is also skilled with a sword, his swordsmanship is exceptional."
"I didn't dare to get too close at the time, so I couldn't see clearly, but those ten men were indeed killed by Ye Wushuang!"
"Silence!" Yun Qingyue snapped, crushing the teacup in her hand. Tea spilled everywhere, but she didn't care at all.
"Ye Wushuang... How could he possibly..." Yun Qingyue spoke with indifference, "The Ye family must indeed possess a supreme treasure. Ye Wushuang has returned from the dead, his martial prowess greatly enhanced, and everything about him is strange."
"What does the Qin family say?" she continued.
The guard then said, "The Qin family seems to have contacted the Imperial City Qin clan, but it will likely take a month for someone from the clan to arrive..."
"A month, huh..." Yun Qingyue murmured, "That should be enough. No matter how formidable this kid is, in a month at most, he will reach the sixth or seventh level. By that time, he won't be a match for someone at the Vein Condensation Stage!"
"But I thought it was me who outplayed Ye Wushuang, only to find out that it was Ye Wushuang who outplayed me. If Ye Wushuang doesn't die, how can I be at ease?"
At that moment, someone from outside the courtyard entered and bowed, saying, "Miss, Young Master Qin Hao has arrived."
"I see."
Yun Qingyue hid her murderous aura, stood up, straightened her dress, and with a beautiful and charming smile that could intoxicate the heart, she headed towards the courtyard.
"Brother Hao!"
Upon arriving outside the courtyard, she saw a young man with long hair, dressed in black, standing tall and straight.
It was Qin Hao, currently the most prominent figure in the Qin family and also the most prominent in the entire Flowing Moon City!
"Qingyue..."
Qin Hao looked at Yun Qingyue with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Why have you come?" Yun Qingyue asked in a sweet voice, "I heard that in a month, a tutor from Qingyun Academy will come to Flowing Moon City to conduct a disciple recruitment assessment. Previously, our city was not considered worthy of such attention from Qingyun Academy. It's said that this time it's all because of you."
Qin Hao nodded and said, "That's correct. The news of my recall to the Qin clan has spread, and to build momentum for me, the clan has arranged this special event."
"The Qin clan is powerful, with significant influence within the Qingyun Empire, and even has figures serving as deans and elders at Qingyun Academy. Arranging this is not difficult," Qin Hao said with confidence in his every gesture.
Qingyun Academy holds an extraordinary status.
This time, because of Qin Hao alone, a special disciple recruitment assessment was held in Flowing Moon City, which was enough to show the recognition of Qin Hao's talent.
In fact, Qin Hao is not only exceptionally talented, but more importantly... he has awakened the Qin clan's bloodline power!
Bloodline power is the most mysterious and powerful force.
Once a family's bloodline power is awakened, one's talent and strength will be greatly enhanced, making one an absolute prodigy among a thousand.
Yun Qingyue then said, "Then I congratulate you in advance, Brother Hao. You will be the most outstanding protagonist in this recruitment."
"Qingyue, your talent is also excellent. Entering Qingyun Academy won't be difficult. Show your best during this recruitment," Qin Hao encouraged.
"Okay..."
Yun Qingyue looked at Qin Hao and then asked, "How is Uncle Qin's injury?"
At the mention of this, Qin Hao's eyes turned a bit colder as he said, "His arm will never recover. Even after a month of rest, his strength will likely be greatly diminished. We truly underestimated Ye Wushuang..."
"But there's no need to worry," Qin Hao's tone changed, and he smiled faintly.
