Ye Yu’s blame-shifting rhetoric truly infuriated Yin Yu.
Suppressing the killing intent in his heart, he said coldly, "Enough about the past. I don’t care whether the divine ship was really robbed or not. It’s over."
"Right now, I’m here. Prepare everything according to the original list. I’ll wait."
Seeing Yin Yu act as though he had him completely cornered, Ye Yu’s expression immediately turned cold.
"Elder, our Cui family may be wealthy, but we can’t sustain this kind of demand."
"There are too many items. We simply can’t gather them all right now. Why not wait until everything is ready, and I’ll contact you then?"
Though his tone sounded like negotiation, there was no intention of compromise in Ye Yu’s expression.
Yin Yu sneered. "Do you even understand what you’re saying?"
Ye Yu did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Elder Yin, when you first spoke of cooperating with me, do you remember what you said?"
"Help me find my wife, Cui Yanshui."
"So much time has passed, and I seriously doubt whether you’ve even been looking!"
"As I said before—find Cui Yanshui, and I’ll scrape together everything you want, even if it bankrupts me. If you can’t find her, then there’s nothing more to discuss."
"Either way, the Cui family supplies resources to others. Whether it’s to you or to the Extreme Moon Pavilion makes no difference."
"And as for this position of acting family head—I’ve had more than enough of it. I don’t even want it anymore!"
At this point, Ye Yu had effectively flipped the table.
He made it clear that he had little interest in the position of head of the Cui family.
As for handing over resources—it was the same no matter who received them, so Yin Yu had no right to pressure him.
Yin Yu fell silent.
So Ye Yu’s true motive for cooperating had been to find Cui Yanshui?
Unexpectedly, this kid was actually the devoted type.
But in truth, Yin Yu had tried to find Cui Yanshui before—and simply couldn’t.
That woman had seemingly vanished from the God Realm in an instant.
Even divination techniques could not trace her whereabouts.
Left with no options, Yin Yu had temporarily set the matter aside.
After all, he was genuinely very busy.
Now, Ye Yu’s stance was crystal clear.
Find Cui Yanshui, and everything could be discussed. Otherwise, there was nothing to talk about.
But what if she truly couldn’t be found?
Yin Yu hated trouble.
Since reason wouldn’t work, he didn’t mind eliminating the one raising the problem and replacing him with someone obedient.
There were risks, of course—but Yin Yu did not have the time to waste on Ye Yu.
So he stepped forward and stared at Ye Yu coldly.
At the same time, Ling Tai moved to stand behind Ye Yu.
Though he said nothing, the pressure he exuded was very real.
Ye Yu sneered. "What, Elder Yin? Planning to kill me? See the one behind me? Killing Divine Lord Realm cultivators is as easy as reaching into a pocket. Want to try?"
Yin Yu glanced at Ling Tai and thought for a long moment.
Then he raised a hand and casually adjusted Ye Yu’s collar.
"How could I possibly lay a hand on you? We’re partners, after all. Just wait—I’ll find your wife as soon as possible."
With that, Yin Yu turned and left the Cui family.
He didn’t believe a word of Ye Yu’s boasting.
Killing Divine Lord Realm cultivators like reaching into a pocket? Did he think he was his third junior brother?
There had to be exaggeration in that claim.
Still, since Ye Yu spoke with such confidence, it meant the man in black had some strength—just not to that ridiculous degree.
Holding him off for a while shouldn’t be difficult.
If he couldn’t kill Ye Yu instantly, then there was no point in acting at all.
Whether it was the Xuanji Hall’s retaliation or the Extreme Moon Pavilion’s accountability, both would be troublesome.
So Yin Yu could only suppress his killing intent for now.
Half a month later.
Ling Tai’s injuries had not only fully healed, but his condition had returned to its peak.
Now, even if he were to face the Great Elder Hua Nongying of the Extreme Moon Pavilion again, he might very well be able to fight her.
However, Ling Tai had no intention of seeking revenge against the Extreme Moon Pavilion immediately.
Instead, he planned to act against Ye Yu first.
Somewhere deep within, he sensed that as long as he killed Ye Yu—completely erasing the shadow in his heart and clearing his mind—his strength would surely advance another step.
At that point, in the vast God Realm, where could he not go?
So, Ye Yu... are you ready to die?
Ling Tai slowly stood up, a resolute glint flashing through his eyes.
Meanwhile—
In a side hall of the Cui family, Ye Yu was giving Qi Yuan a lesson.
Yes, a literal lesson.
With his heaven-defying comprehension, Ye Yu was essentially a top-tier instructor in the path of cultivation.
He effortlessly resolved all the problems Qi Yuan encountered in her practice.
Combined with the heavenly treasures he had accumulated over the years, Qi Yuan reaching the Heavenly God Realm was now within sight.
Of course, even a god was not a machine.
No one could remain at peak condition and study endlessly.
Balancing work and rest was essential.
So after finishing the day’s lesson, Ye Yu thoughtfully suggested taking Qi Yuan out for a walk.
They had been married for quite some time, yet truly private moments between them had been rare.
Ye Yu also wanted to spend more time with her.
Qi Yuan was delighted.
She immediately hooked her arm through Ye Yu’s sleeve, leaning against him intimately.
As she spoke with anticipation about the places she wanted to visit, the atmosphere became exceptionally warm.
But at that moment, a hand pressed against the outer doorframe.
Ye Yu’s brows instantly furrowed.
He couldn’t help but complain inwardly—who was so lacking in awareness? Hadn’t everyone already been informed that no one was to disturb his time alone with Qi Yuan?
However, in the next instant, that irritation vanished completely.
Because the one who had arrived was none other than Cui Yanshui, who had been unconscious for so long.
At this moment, she looked extremely weak.
After such a prolonged coma, her body was stiff.
After just a few steps, her breathing had already grown unsteady.
Yet her eyes remained as sharp as ever.
So sharp that Qi Yuan instinctively let go of Ye Yu’s sleeve and took a step back to create distance.
But in the very next moment, Qi Yuan seemed to realize something.
She quickly explained, "Sister Xiao Shui, the hundred-year agreement between us has already come to an end."
Though her words were correct, Qi Yuan did not return to Ye Yu’s side.
Instead, she stepped forward and carefully supported Cui Yanshui.
Her movements were gentle and cautious, her eyes carrying a hint of unease.
It had to be said—Qi Yuan looked very much like someone who had been caught doing something she shouldn’t have.
