As the number one potential seed of Four Directions Pavilion, Qi Yuan received extremely high treatment.
Only after arriving at the sect’s main hall did the three elders stop escorting her.
Inside the hall, the Pavilion Master of Four Directions Pavilion and the Grand Elder were both present. Besides them, there was also Senior Sister Guang Miao.
Seeing her there, Qi Yuan was very surprised.
But before she could ask anything, the Grand Elder took the initiative to explain, "The matter has already been investigated. You and your senior sister should both have fallen under an illusion. What you saw was false. There is not the slightest trace of evil intrusion on her body."
Guang Miao also nodded. "Yes, Junior Sister. It must have been an illusion. I even saw you being swallowed by the female ghost."
Was it really an illusion?
Qi Yuan did not understand. But since Senior Sister and the Grand Elder both said so, then so be it.
Afterward, the Pavilion Master and the Grand Elder asked how Qi Yuan had survived.
She immediately stated that a powerful expert had happened to pass by, felt compassion, and taken action to save her. That was how she had escaped death.
However, that expert had not revealed their name.
This line of speech had been taught to Qi Yuan by Ye Yu.
After all, his existence could not be told to anyone.
Otherwise, Qi Yuan might very well be dissected and studied.
After leaving the main hall, Guang Miao stared at Qi Yuan’s departing back for a very long time.
Her eyes were filled with venomous resentment.
Three days later, a cultivation manual titled Creation Art appeared before Qi Yuan.
This item had been painstakingly created by Zhang Jiuyou of Xuanji Hall in the God Realm. Later, Ye Yu had spent three thousand divine stones to have the system assist in modifying it, ultimately obtaining this Heaven Tier top grade cultivation technique.
Qi Yuan tightly held the manual, her heart filled with excitement.
But it was not because of the manual’s grade.
It was because this was the second gift Ye Yu had given her.
Naturally, she had to cherish it well.
"Practice diligently. Strive to step into the Celestial World as soon as possible. At that time, I will need you to help me with something."
When she heard Ye Yu say these words, Qi Yuan became even more diligent in her cultivation.
Ascending to the Celestial World had already become her greatest current goal.
Two days later, Ye Yu reclined on a lounge chair, watching the Divine Maidens dancing before him.
The first Dance Competition was already nearing its end.
The remaining eight contestants were each elite among elites, extremely pleasing to watch.
Just as Ye Yu was watching with great interest, Zhang Jiuyou walked in from outside and said softly, "Young Master, Elder Ye is looking for you. He claims there is an important matter to discuss and hopes you will go over promptly."
The Elder Ye he referred to was none other than his bargain father, Ye Zhendong.
In order to prevent her husband from feeling a sense of disparity, Shi Tiange had given him the title of elder.
There was no helping it. Xuanji Hall belonged to their family. They could play however they wished.
Upon hearing his father’s name, Ye Yu’s expression remained calm. He did not even move his gaze away from the Divine Maidens, only casually spitting out a grape skin.
"What could that old man possibly want with me? He expects me to go see him? Keep dreaming. Tell him to come see me. I have something to arrange for him."
At Ye Yu’s audaciously rebellious words, Zhang Jiuyou’s face turned extremely unsightly.
The Young Master’s rebellious nature was known throughout all of Xuanji Hall.
Thus, very few were willing to act as the messenger between this father and son.
But Zhang Jiuyou’s luck was poor. He had happened to run into Ye Zhendong and had no choice but to come over.
Although the Young Master had now given a reply, Zhang Jiuyou did not dare relay those exact words to Ye Zhendong.
So he patiently persuaded, "Young Master, perhaps Elder Ye truly has something urgent. Why not go take a look?"
"Not going. Let him come himself. Just say I’m busy. I have no time."
Ye Yu spat out another grape skin and subconsciously rubbed his brow.
Old man, the grudge of you rubbing my brow—I still remember it clearly.
Seeing Ye Yu unmoved by persuasion, Zhang Jiuyou could only leave helplessly. On the way, he racked his brain to carefully organize his wording.
He tried to choose the gentlest expressions possible to convey the message to Ye Zhendong.
But the meaning remained unchanged.
Your good son has no time to see you. If you want to see him, you have to go to him.
Unexpectedly, Ye Zhendong rarely became angry. Without a word, he went to find Ye Yu.
After arriving, he appeared to gaze forward calmly, but in reality he was staring at the Divine Maidens dancing ahead.
That was right. Ye Zhendong simply wanted a legitimate excuse to come watch the Dance Competition.
That was why he had deliberately chosen this time to have Zhang Jiuyou summon Ye Yu.
No one knew a son better than his father.
Given Ye Yu’s contrary nature, he certainly would not go over to see him. He would definitely tell him to come instead.
This perfectly fulfilled Ye Zhendong’s wish.
Understanding human nature was a discipline in itself.
When Ye Yu saw Ye Zhendong come over yet say nothing, only staring ahead with light in his eyes, he instantly reacted.
Heh. This old man had come deliberately to watch the Divine Maidens, hadn’t he?
Mother had previously forbidden him from watching. Now he found such a reason to come. Did he truly think Mother could no longer lift her blade?
Ye Yu said in a low voice, "Turn around now. You are not allowed to watch. If you continue watching, I’ll call my mother over."
That sentence instantly shattered Ye Zhendong’s composure. He was about to transform into a stern father.
"You brat, who are you talking to? Don’t even think about—"
Before he could finish, Ye Yu had already begun shouting, "Mother—mmph!"
Ye Zhendong decisively stepped forward and covered Ye Yu’s mouth.
"Oh my little ancestor, fine, I won’t watch. But I truly came this time for serious business. Stay at home obediently tomorrow. It’s your birthday. Your mother has prepared a huge birthday gift for you."
Hearing this, Ye Yu immediately sat upright.
"If we’re talking about that, then I’m not sleepy anymore."
Mother Shi Tiange was famously doting toward him.
If even she called it a huge birthday gift, then it must truly be enormous.
A top grade divine artifact? Or an ultimate cultivation technique? Or perhaps a supreme divine beast?
Tsk tsk tsk. No matter what it is, I want it all.
In his improved mood, Ye Yu immediately put on a smiling face and affectionately slung an arm around Ye Zhendong’s shoulder.
"Oh, you should’ve said so earlier. I promise I won’t come out tomorrow. How about you turn around and take another look?"
Ye Zhendong sneered.
"Turn around to watch dancing? So you can report me to your mother? Yu’er, you’ve done too many things that trap your father. I won’t give you that chance this time."
After speaking, Ye Zhendong intended to leave, but Ye Yu grabbed him back.
"Don’t rush off. I still have something to tell you."
