Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Xuan Yufei Comes to Apologize? Too Late!
"Yeah!"
...
Under Su Yixue's step-by-step guidance, sounds not suitable for children gradually began to fill the room.
As Yin and Yang united and Heaven and Earth merged, a tear slid down the corner of Su Yixue's eye. Silently, she thought, "Ancestors of the Ye Family, I, Su Yixue, have not failed you; I have still become a daughter-in-law of the Ye Family."
Although it wasn't Qi Lang as before, it was still Ye Fan of the Ye Family's legitimate line.
With the movements of the two of them, a powerful warm current rewarded Ye Fan and Su Yixue.
The Martial Arts Qi in Ye Fan fluttered like a flickering flame, rapidly advancing his strength which in a short time had already reached the peak of Martial Venerable, almost breaking through to the next realm.
The warm current nourished Su Yixue, and within her body, power was also gradually gathering, faintly on the verge of producing Martial Arts Qi.
Under Ye Fan's gentle but rough movements, Su Yixue felt like a flat boat on the ocean, drifting with the waves, sometimes surging to the top of a wave, sometimes sinking to the ocean floor... for what seemed like hours...
Outside the window, even the moonlight seemed somewhat shy about what was happening in the room, quietly hiding itself behind the clouds.
Outside the villa, the bodyguards of the Ye Family as well as those of the Su Family listened to the noises coming from inside the villa.
They couldn't help but remark, "Although the young master has become foolish, his vigor hasn't decreased from back in the day, huh!"
"Ha ha! Miss Su is going to be lucky in the future!"
"Ah! If only the young master could come to his senses soon, then Miss Su and the young master would truly be a perfect match!"
...
After everything had settled down, Su Yixue had already fallen into a deep sleep in Ye Fan's arms, while Ye Fan himself was feeling refreshed and spirited, looking at the delicate Su Yixue in his arms. A string in Ye Fan's heart twitched.
From this moment on, Su Yixue was his woman!
In the future, no one except himself would be allowed to hurt her, not even a little...
The reason Ye Fan had made the decision to take Su Yixue as his woman was due to many considerations!
For one thing, the seven stunning sisters-in-law had announced in front of so many people that they wanted to marry him; rejecting them heartlessly would be foolish and would let down the good intentions of these sisters-in-law.
On the other hand, Ye Fan's pace of strength advancement was currently too slow. By joining with Su Yixue, he would gain sufficient warm currents in a short time to enhance his own strength.
The situation of the Ye Family was very dangerous, nearly exterminated, with only him as the sole survivor.
If Ye Fan's strength wasn't strong enough, he would not be able to revive the Ye Family, nor could he protect the Ye Family, guard these beautiful sisters-in-law, or seek revenge for the deceased Heroic Spirits of the Ye Family.
Therefore, Ye Fan needed to become stronger as quickly as possible!
And the flickering flame in his dantian was the best and fastest way!
After making sure Su Yixue was comfortable on the bed, Ye Fan began to sit cross-legged on the bed, rapidly circulating the Martial Arts Qi within his body. Meanwhile, his eyes flickered with profound depth...
Young Master Zhou of the Capital!
Hum! Polish your neck, daring to move against my Ye Family, none of the enemies will escape!
...
In the Provincial City, the Flower Capital, the Liu Family's mansion was brightly lit!
Liu Ran, the head of the Liu Family, sat at the head of the table, his face dark with anger, "Has Xia Hao lost his mind? The Ye Family is already being targeted and could be exterminated at any moment, everyone is sanctioning the Ye Family, and yet Xia Hao chooses to side with the Ye Family, collaborating with the Su Corporation? Is he seeking death?"
So many things had happened today: the Ye Family's downfall, Xuan Yufei's annulment of her engagement. But Ye Fan's seven sisters-in-law had declared they were all marrying Ye Fan, which was the biggest provocation to the enemies of the Ye Family.
They swiftly gave orders to sanction the Su Corporation, to make an example of them, to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
However, the Xia Family chose to cooperate with the Su Corporation at this time and even declared that anyone who opposed the Su Corporation was opposing the Xia Family.
The implication of this alliance was very clear!
"According to what Xia Hao said, it's because five years ago, when Ye Fan was still a genius, he saved his life, so Xia Hao wants to repay the favor!" a subordinate explained.
Liu Ran snorted coldly, "I don't care what his reasons are! Since he has chosen to help the Su Corporation, that means he is against my Liu Family, and against the powerful backer behind us!"
He paused for a moment before continuing, "Issue my order, command the Cloud City Zhao Family to move against the Su Corporation at any cost!"
"Yes..." the subordinate responded, just about to make arrangements when he suddenly turned somber, "Patriarch! The latest news just received, the Zhao Family... the Zhao Family has been exterminated!"
"What?" Liu Ran stood up from his seat in shock upon hearing the news from his subordinate, "Wasn't the head of the Zhao Family, Zhao Dechang, still talking to me this morning? How could they be wiped out all of a sudden?"
The subordinate hastily handed over detailed information to Liu Ran, "Zhao Dechang offended a grandmaster named Fan Ye, who, it is said, stole Fan Ye's woman when he was young, hence the retaliation?"
"Such a coincidence?" Liu Ran vaguely sensed something was amiss; the timing of the Zhao Family's annihilation was too coincidental. Had Zhao Tianlong just humiliated Ye Fan, just when he was about to kill Ye Fan, when they were suddenly wiped out?
If it weren't for solid evidence proving Ye Fan wasn't present, Liu Ran would surely think that the monstrous prodigy who awoke five years ago had returned.
"Patriarch, what should we do now? If the Su Corporation fully cooperates with the Xia Family, leveraging the Xia Family's channels, they will undoubtedly soar immediately. All our previous blockades will be ineffective!"
The scale of the Xia Family was much like the Liu Family. Moreover, their foundations were even deeper than the Liu Family's. If the Xia Family fully supported the Su Family, then it would be very troublesome for Liu Ran to carry out the extermination order from above.
"Hmph! The Zhao Family has been wiped out, but aren't there still the Wang Family and Li Family? Let them join forces to act. No matter what methods they use, they must not let the Su Corporation have an easy time, even if it means Su Yixue suffers a ruined reputation... It would be best to turn Cloud City upside down!" A shade of gloom flashed in Liu Ran's eyes.
Previously, in the face of the families of those seven girls, no one dared to take it lightly. Because they were the daughters-in-law of the Ye Family, everyone had to weigh the influence of the Ye Family in Great Xia.
But now, with the Ye Family fallen, the family power behind those girls was not as significant.
Now that the Ye Family had been dealt a heavy blow, only if Cloud City was in greater chaos and the waters muddier would Liu Ran be able to glimpse the truth behind some matters.
Whether Ye Fan was truly foolish or just feigning it?
Exactly who else was still supporting the Ye Family?
…
Cloud City, the night had deepened!
But in the Xuan Family Courtyard, in Xuan Yufei's room, Xuan Yufei tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Today, when she broke off the engagement with Ye Fan, Xuan Yufei clearly saw the disappointment in Ye Fan's eyes.
Had she ultimately failed him?
Thinking of the many moments she had grown up with Ye Fan, tears involuntarily streamed down Xuan Yufei's face.
Why did Ye Fan have to become a fool?
If only he were not a fool, how good it would be!
Xuan Yufei also attended the evening banquet, witnessing Su Yixue taking Ye Fan around, talking and laughing, which left a sour taste in her heart, not daring to approach and strike up a conversation.
If she hadn't broken off the engagement with Ye Fan, the one accompanying Ye Fan would have been her.
But now, everything was irreversible!
Xuan Yufei fell asleep in a daze, and the next morning, the first thing she wanted to do upon waking up was to see Ye Fan.
Even though she was no longer with Ye Fan, Xuan Yufei still hoped he was faring well!
…
At Su Yixue's residence, when Su Yixue woke up, sunlight was already shining into the bedroom.
Looking at herself, naked in Ye Fan's embrace, and the crimson peach blossom on the bedsheets, Su Yixue was so shy she barely dared to lift her head.
She had become Ye Fan's woman?
Was this foolish man before her going to be her husband in the future?
Regrets?
Su Yixue asked herself inwardly, unable to articulate her feelings. Perhaps her decision at the time was impulsive, but by this moment, Su Yixue had made up her mind. No matter what, from now on, she and Ye Fan were united as husband and wife, sharing honor and disgrace together.
No regrets!
"Wife Yixue, are you awake?" Ye Fan looked at Su Yixue as she opened her eyes and tenderly said, "Wife Yixue, I made you bleed last night, does it hurt?"
"Ah!" Su Yixue, already bashful, didn't know how to respond to Ye Fan's question, "You... you're so bad..."
Recalling how Ye Fan had used mice to scare her in the forest last night, Su Yixue seriously doubted whether Ye Fan was truly foolish or just pretending.
After frolicking for a while and finishing their morning wash-up, they were ready to eat breakfast. A bodyguard at the door said, "Miss Su, someone at the door is looking for Young Master Ye!"
Ye Fan raised an eyebrow, who would be looking for him this early in the morning?
Su Yixue was also full of curiosity, "Who is it?"
The bodyguard at the door looked a bit strange, "Miss Xuan Yufei!"
"What does she want? Didn't she break off the engagement with Xiao Fan? Hmph!" Su Yixue got a bit angry at the mention of Xuan Yufei. Yesterday, in front of so many people, the Xuan Family had no regard for the Ye Family's face and publicly broke off the engagement.
And now she has the gall to look for Ye Fan?
