Who Do You Think You Are?!
“That’s right, the Ling Royal Clan has made it clear. As long as Princess Yue’er is married off, everything can be written off. Moreover, the two dynasties can continue their friendly exchanges and strengthen cooperation. It’s a win-win situation!”
Another person spoke, and everyone present had developed a certain degree of disgust towards Ye Chen. If it weren’t for him, things wouldn’t have escalated to this point.
Now that there’s a solution, this kid actually came out to cause trouble. Isn’t he deliberately pushing them into danger?
Ye Chen looked at these fellows, his eyes filled with pity and sadness. It has to be said that when it comes to fearing death, these old foxes are the best.
“A bunch of cowards! If you hadn’t pressured Father, how could Father have agreed to marry off my little sister? What’s the difference between you and those bastards from the Ling Clan?!”
Xiao Luo stood up, his eyes filled with rage about to erupt.
These so-called dignitaries, every single one of them is a fair-weather friend.
Using Gu Yue’er to exchange for the safety of the dynasty, for their own safety, this is tantamount to selling a princess, yet they can still speak so eloquently. Are there any people more shameless than them?
At this moment, a loud bang came, and a blue light shot up into the sky. The source of the explosion was the Royal Residence.
This scene immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Then, a voice rang out—
“Hehe, I said why I always felt like someone was talking about me behind my back. It turns out it’s you, my dear brother-in-law!”
Following the sound, a man in luxurious brocade robes slowly appeared before everyone.
Those who knew Ling Fei would find that this man was seven points similar to him!
This person was Ling Yun! His cultivation was not low, at the Great Perfection stage of the Golden Core Stage, only half a step away from the Nascent Soul stage.
Besides Ling Yun, he was followed by a team of more than twenty elite soldiers, all wearing uniform clothes, concealing their appearances. However, their auras were all at Foundation Establishment Stage seven or higher.
Even more eye-catching was the black-robed person standing beside Ling Yun.
The huge black robe covered the person’s appearance, making it impossible to distinguish their age or gender.
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, subconsciously using the Heavenly Eye. However, the black robe seemed to have some kind of isolating array engraved on it, preventing him from seeing through the person’s appearance and cultivation.
This person is probably not a simple character!
“Hehe, I actually encountered a Spiritual Treasure. It seems that this Wild Domain isn’t too desolate.”
The voice of the Devouring Immortal Cauldron suddenly sounded in his mind, with a hint of surprise in its tone.
“Spiritual Treasure?”
Ye Chen was slightly startled. Spiritual Treasures were far superior to Spiritual Artifacts. It is said that some rare Spiritual Treasures can even produce their own Spirits.
However, he had never seen one before.
“That’s right. Although I can’t see through this Spiritual Treasure, I can be sure that it doesn’t belong to this person. His strength isn’t qualified enough.”
“But one thing is certain. Most of this Spiritual Treasure’s abilities are sealed. It can only exert its most primitive effect of concealing aura. As for why this is so, I don’t know.”
The Devouring Immortal Cauldron explained, and Ye Chen frowned after hearing this.
He didn’t expect that the Ling Dynasty actually had such a person. No wonder the Ancient Phoenix Dynasty was so wary of them.
The person under the black robe seemed to have noticed Ye Chen’s gaze and glanced at him in slight surprise. However, it was only for a moment, and no other emotions were revealed.
“Stop pretending to be related. Who said my little sister is marrying you?”
Xiao Luo was not afraid of Ling Yun and spoke forcefully.
Not only that, he also glanced at Ye Chen and then added, “Moreover, my little sister already has someone she likes.”
As soon as these words came out, before everyone could be surprised, Ling Yun laughed first.
“It’s just a little affection from growing up.”
“Speaking of liking someone, this Young Lord has hundreds or even eighty of them, but marriage requires a proper match.”
“Am I right, Mother-in-law?”
As he spoke, Ling Yun deliberately glanced at Ning Qiushuang.
Upon hearing this, Ning Qiushuang showed no sign of wavering, but calmly said, “What about the promised alliance?”
“Mother-in-law, please don’t worry. I will naturally keep my word.”
Ling Yun gestured, and his men quickly carried up the betrothal gifts, along with a Golden Scroll.
Is this the alliance that Ning Qiushuang mentioned?
The scroll must list the many conditions proposed by the Ancient Phoenix Dynasty.
As for the specific content, Ye Chen wasn’t interested.
He simply said calmly,
“If you expect these things to save yourselves, you’re not far from death.”
“Today, I’m here to take Yue’er away. Let’s see who can stop me.”
As soon as these words came out, many people sneered, looking at him as if he were a clown.
Ning Qiushuang was afraid that things would escalate, so she hurriedly sent a Voice Transmission to Ye Chen: “Superior Ye, don’t make any trouble today. We have our own way to solve this.”
“Besides, even if this marriage alliance is not a good match, they dare not do anything to Yue’er. The entire Ancient Phoenix Dynasty is Yue’er’s backing.”
At this point, her tone rarely showed firmness.
However, these words not only failed to persuade Ye Chen, but instead made him find it laughable.
“Do you know that the Ling Dynasty has secretly colluded with the Demon Clan and may launch a war at any time? Imagine, who will be the first to bear the brunt?”
Ye Chen sent a Voice Transmission.
These words caused Ning Qiushuang’s complexion to change drastically, turning pale.
Not to mention her, even the Monarch of the Ancient Phoenix Dynasty probably didn’t possess this intelligence.
Otherwise, how could they possibly agree to marry Yue’er off?
Once the war breaks out, these so-called alliances will be nothing but scraps of paper, useless.
No one noticed their conversation, but Ling Yun was already impatient, his gaze increasingly displeased as he stared at Ye Chen.
“What are you? How dare you snatch a woman from this Young Lord?”
Gu Yue’er becoming his wife was a done deal.
No one had ever dared to touch what belonged to Ling Yun!
“Reporting to Young Lord, this person is the murderer of Ling Fei!”
The speaker was the mysterious person under the black robe.
To Ye Chen’s surprise, the voice coming from under the black robe was that of a woman.
What surprised him even more was that the voice was somewhat familiar…
“It’s you!”
Ling Yun, who already intensely disliked Ye Chen, had even stronger killing intent in his eyes, his anger reaching the heavens.
However, Ye Chen’s attention fell on the Black-Robed Woman, his gaze deep as he stared at her: “It seems you are very familiar with me.”
The Black-Robed Woman’s face was covered, making it impossible to see her expression.
She only heard her say calmly,
“Not familiar, but I’m very interested in you.”
“How about coming with me?”
