When Ye Yu returned to the Cui family, he happened to run into Qi Yuan and Cui Yanshui leading more than twenty members from the various Cui family branches, fully prepared to depart.

The moment they saw Ye Yu, both of them were stunned.

He came back this quickly?

Where was Ling Tai?

Ye Yu waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse. Then he brought Qi Yuan and Cui Yanshui into the main hall and explained the method he had used against Ling Tai.

From the very beginning, he truly had treated Ling Tai as a blade.

But at the same time, he had also considered the possibility that the blade might turn around and wound him at any moment.

So Ye Yu had long since prepared an emergency measure in advance.

He had tampered with the black divine robe Ling Tai wore.

Secretly carving an extremely concealed teleportation formation onto it.

Before activation, absolutely no one would notice anything unusual.

And the teleportation destination just happened to be the center of the Extreme Moon Pavilion grounds.

If one asked who in the world had the ability to defeat Ling Tai, then naturally it would be the Grand Elder of the Extreme Moon Pavilion.

So the moment Ling Tai lost control, Ye Yu immediately teleported him over there.

At that point, Ling Tai was guaranteed to die.

Resolving a powerful enemy without shedding a drop of blood—what could be better than that?

This deal was practically a steal.

After hearing Ye Yu’s explanation, both Qi Yuan and Cui Yanshui were astonished.

What a brilliant plan.

Had they known earlier, there would have been no need to panic so much just now.

Cui Yanshui’s weakened body could barely move any distance at all, yet she had still stubbornly insisted on having Qi Yuan support her while going outside.

Thinking about it now, it truly had been unnecessary.

But once the crisis had passed, there were certain matters that ultimately needed to be clarified.

All three of them understood this perfectly well.

So after the laughter gradually faded away, the expressions on their faces subtly changed.

Cui Yanshui straightened her posture with effort.

Meanwhile, Qi Yuan unconsciously pinched the corner of her clothing.

Ye Yu took in the states of both women before finally taking the initiative to break the silence.

“Xiao Shui, logically speaking, I should first tell you about all the changes the Cui family has gone through over these past decades.”

“But I think if certain things aren’t made clear now, Qi Yuan will remain anxious and uneasy the entire time.”

“You know what I’m talking about, right?”

The moment she heard those words, Qi Yuan’s entire body stiffened.

Meanwhile, Cui Yanshui softly replied,

“I naturally stand by the things I said before.”

“Qi Yuan, you endured for a hundred years and finally made it through. I acknowledge that.”

“So there’s no need for you to be this nervous.”

Qi Yuan’s eyes instantly lit up.

She clenched both fists tightly.

The thing she had worried about all this time had finally come to an end.

It felt as though a massive stone pressing on her heart had suddenly vanished.

She nearly wanted to jump up on the spot.

To ease her nervousness, Qi Yuan proactively suggested going outside to fetch some tea.

“You two talk first.”

Neither Ye Yu nor Cui Yanshui stopped her.

The two quietly watched as Qi Yuan hurried away.

After she left, Cui Yanshui spoke in a low voice.

“To be honest, I really did think about hardening my heart and denying this whole matter.”

“You know how I was as a child. I never liked sharing my toys with anyone.”

Ye Yu awkwardly scratched his head.

“I’m not a toy.”

Cui Yanshui answered seriously,

“You’re more important than the toys I had as a child.”

Hearing that, Ye Yu felt his scalp go numb.

“With the way you say that, should I even be happy or sad?”

“Have I really fallen to the level of being compared to a toy?”

“Feishui, oh Feishui, you still don’t know how to talk to people.”

“You stab people straight through the lungs.”

Then Cui Yanshui continued,

“But after thinking it over again and again, I still chose to acknowledge it.”

“Because I can see that this girl truly likes you.”

“But if I had known back then that I wouldn’t die, I absolutely would never have given her any hope.”

“And I definitely wouldn’t have left you that letter.”

As she said those words, Cui Yanshui could not help pursing her lips slightly.

Her tone was overflowing with possessiveness.

From that alone, it was obvious that Cui Yanshui genuinely wanted to be together with him.

Otherwise, she would never have shown such a side of herself.

Ye Yu was extremely experienced when it came to dealing with possessive people like this.

So he did not continue following Cui Yanshui’s train of thought.

Instead, he changed the subject and began discussing the recent changes within the Cui family.

When talking with others, the rhythm of the conversation had to remain in your own hands.

Only then could you maintain the initiative at every turn.

If Cui Yanshui kept obsessing over this matter, then with her personality, there was no guarantee she would not regret it again later.

So the best solution was to redirect her attention elsewhere.

A short while later, after listening to Ye Yu’s explanation, Cui Yanshui’s expression immediately became grave.

To put it bluntly, the Cui family was already approaching a life-or-death crisis.

In the God Realm, what small families feared most was being annexed.

At the beginning, the words always sounded pleasant enough.

Things like “merging together” or “growing side by side.”

But in the end, it all amounted to completely dismantling your side and absorbing every ounce of your strength into theirs.

Cui Yanshui had worried about this exact issue before.

She never expected it would still happen in the end.

But there was nothing to be done.

The Cui family’s foundation was too large, while the power in their hands was too weak.

Without absolute strength to protect themselves, they were bound to become targets sooner or later.

That was why Cui Yanshui had continuously accumulated strength all these years.

But in the end, she had still fallen one step short.

The Extreme Moon Pavilion truly was a colossal existence.

According to Ye Yu, the Extreme Moon Pavilion would help the Cui family eliminate Ling Tai.

But what about afterward?

After the death of Third Elder Yin Yu, the Extreme Moon Pavilion would absolutely send new people to discuss the merger with the Cui family.

And the next people who came definitely would not be as easy to deal with as Yin Yu.

Once they agreed, then from that day forward, there would no longer be a Cui family in the God Realm.

But if they refused, would the Extreme Moon Pavilion truly let the matter go so easily?

One had to remember that in order to seize the Cui family, the Extreme Moon Pavilion had already paid the price of over a hundred God Clan members.

It did not matter whether those people had been killed by the Xuanling Sect.

Their original purpose in coming here had still been for the Cui family itself.

That was something impossible to deny.

Which meant this debt had to be acknowledged by the Cui family.

If they did not want to acknowledge it, then fine.

Provided their fists were bigger than the other side’s.

After pondering for a long time, Cui Yanshui finally made a decision.

She planned to personally visit the Extreme Moon Pavilion and speak with Hua Nongying, the Grand Elder of the Extreme Moon Pavilion.

To see whether there was still room for negotiation.

As long as they could present enough sincerity, surely everything could still be discussed.

And if things truly reached the final possible stage...

Then there would be no other choice but to fight.

Cui Yanshui would absolutely never allow the Cui family to become anyone’s subordinate.
