Chapter 1641:- Yun Ruoshui (9)
Lin Xi's eyes opened wide in shock. Before he had any time to beg for mercy, he had been devoured by the endless black spirit energy. Then he disappeared as if he had never existed.
Feeling exhausted, Yun Ruoshui lay on the ground. Big teardrops fell down from her eyes and she sobbed.
"Mom, I killed again, but they made me..."
In this uninhabited jungle, her tiny body was buried by the surrounding weeds, her shoulders were slightly shaking, and her face was ghastly pale. On her face, a tinge of black smoke gradually appeared, but disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it was an illusion.
...
At this time, in a mountain near the Physician Tower, a group of young men and women in white robes were fighting a swarm of spirit beasts.
They had the Physician Tower's badges on their chests. However, these were low-level badges. It seemed that these people had joined the Physician Tower not long ago.
"Brother Yu, these spirit beasts are too powerful. We can't resist them, so... we'd better leave this place." A younger girl, looking worried, wiped the sweat from her brow.
The man called Brother Yu was the leader of the group. He scowled and replied, "We must get this snake spirit grass and exchange it for the medical books of the Medical Tower!"
Entering the Medical Tower had always been his goal. So...
How could he give up the chance to improve himself when he finally entered the Medical Tower? He had to get the snake spirit grass!
However...
The spirit snakes were attacking them more and more fiercely. With a grim and chilly light in their eyes, they kept flicking their tongues. Their green teeth were obviously toxic.
"Ah!"
A young man was bitten by a spirit snake. In an instant, his whole arm turned blue. In pain, he covered his arm with his hand and drew back two steps. His pale face showed the pain he felt.
"Rong Chang!"
Brother Yu's face changed. His eyes turned more solemn as he looked at the spirit beasts that were guarding the spirit snake grass. But now it was too late for them to regret because the spirit snakes had surrounded them and they wouldn't be able to get away this time. Besides, the long battle had exhausted them and they were no longer able to resist.
"Are we all going to die here today?" Brother Yu looked sad and regretted that he got his companions into this trouble...
"Hiss!"
The spirit snakes flicked their long tongues and quickly crawled to them. Looking at them, they all froze. Just when a spirit snake was going to attack a girl among them, all of a sudden, a long sword fell from the sky and cut the snake in half.
The people paused and looked up in astonishment. In an instant, everyone was stunned...
God!
At this moment, a woman landed from the sky. She was like a god, so formidable and noble. She was gorgeous yet wicked. Now she was looking unconcernedly at the swarm of spirit snakes with her haughty dark eyes. The woman was carrying an innocent-looking boy and followed by a tall, handsome young man.
Brother Yu respectfully made an obeisance. "Miss, thank you for saving us."

Chapter 1642:- Came Back to the Physician Tower (1)
"Are you from the Physician Tower?"
Yun Luofeng looked down at the people below, and there seemed to be infinite power in her wicked voice.
Brother Yu said in embarrassment, "My friends and I joined the Physician Tower not long ago. This time, we came here to find the snake spirit grass so we could exchange it for the medical books of the Medical Tower. If Miss hadn't rescued us, we all might have died this time."
Hearing this, Yun Luofeng glanced at his handsome face, "You have good talent, and there is nothing wrong with taking risks. However, you should remember that no matter what you do, you should do it according to your ability. If you can bear this in mind, you'll be able to make a place for yourself on this continent."
Swoosh!
With that, Yun Luofeng's figure suddenly turned into a flash of light and disappeared. After she left, these young people realized what had happened and looked in surprise at the direction in which she left.
"Who is she? Why did she say this to us?" The girl among them frowned and her delicate face looked confused.
Brother Yu thought for a moment. "Let's take the snake spirit grass back first."
At this moment, he didn't know that what Yun Luofeng said to him today would save his life in the future. Until that moment, he didn't know what her words meant.
...
The Physician Tower.
In the spacious and bright room, two old men sat opposite each other, playing chess.
One of them was dressed in white and looked aloof, as unworldly as a celestial being, while the other one with a smiling face looked quite cynical.
"Haha, Ge Yang, this time, I won again," Qing Mu laughed, "Why do I feel that you were absent-minded when playing chess with me?"
Ge Yang shook his head. "I don't know why. But I have a feeling that something is going to happen on the continent."
"Tut," Qing Mu tutted, "since Master left, the Land of No Return is very peaceful, and how can anything bad happen? By the way, Master has been away for almost five years, and I wonder how she is on the Seven Province continent?"
Five years passed away like running water. During the five years when Yun Luofeng was away, however, there were too many changes...
Thinking of the woman who had disappeared for five years, Qing Mu sighed. When he left the Tianhui Empire, he had decided to follow Yun Luofeng for his lifetime! However...
When Qing Mu and Ge Yang were talking, Yun Luofeng was stopped by a guard of the Physician Tower.
"If you came to the Physician Tower to identify your medical skill level, please go out and turn right. There is a place for appraisal. If you want to join the Physician Tower, you must first identify your medical skill level, or else no one is allowed to step into the Physician Tower."
The guard guarding the gate said expressionlessly and routinely.
Yun Luofeng was stunned. She was away for five years, and as soon as she came back, she was shut out by her own men?
"I'm here to find someone." The little boy, who had been carried by Yun Luofeng, broke loose from her hand, flicked the dust off his dirty robe and raised his cute face. "I want to see Elder Qing Mu and Elder Ge Yang.
"I'm sorry. The elders won't meet anyone without the badge of our Physician Tower."
How dare a little beggar in rags ask to meet their elders?
.
.

Chapter 1643:- Came Back to the Physician Tower (2)
What made him believe he could ask for this?
Ye Xie scowled, clenched his little fist with a great effort to restrain his anger and said, clenching his teeth, "I want to see the two elders. Report to them now!"
Though he was the young master of the Ye Family, he had never been away from home, so the people of the Physician Tower had never met him. Just then, a low voice came.
"What happened?"
The guard turned around only to see an old man walking out the door, and he smiled. "Elder Qu, you've come? These people want to see Elder Ge Yang and Elder Qing Mu, but they don't have our badge, so I am persuading them to leave."
Qu You nodded indifferently. His eyes swept over Yun Luofeng and the others and a faint gleam came into his old eyes. "Is this young lady a physician?"
With sharp eyes, Qu You found Yun Luofeng was a physician at first glance.
Yun Luofeng glanced at Qu You's old face and slightly nodded, "Yes."
She was a physician, so she didn't deny it.
"Since you're a physician, you can join our Physician Tower, but I have a requirement..." Qu You gave a smile, and arrogantly lifted his chin. "I want you to become my disciple. What do you think?"
Xiao Mo glanced at Qu You as if looking at an idiot, and there was contempt in his eyes.
Was this old man stupid? His master was master of the Physician Tower. How could he, an elder, ask the master of the Physician Tower to serve as his disciple?
"Miss, first impressions count. I had a very good first impression of you when I first saw you, so I want you to become my disciple. Don't worry. I have a high status in the Medical Tower, which is only second to Elder Qing Mu and Elder Ge Yang, so you'll surely have a bright future in the Medical Tower."
When it came to Qing Mu and Ge Yang, Qu You was quite deferential. After all, the Physician Tower was developed by the two elders since Master left. He, a latecomer, couldn't be compared with the two elders.
Yun Luofeng squinted. "What if I refuse? Are you going to keep me out of the Physician Tower?"
Qu You laughed. "Miss, You are the first person to refuse me. If you refuse me, of course you won't be able to join the Physician Tower, and besides, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
Hearing his words, Ye Xie, who was silent, couldn't help but snort.
"If she wants, I can ask Qing Mu and Ge Yang to take her as a disciple. Who are you? How dare you speak to the one who saved me like this?"
To be honest, though Yun Luofeng saved Ye Xie, he was wary of her at first. However, on the way to the Physician Tower, Yun Luofeng gave up flying just because he could not adapt to flying, which moved him...
However, when they were crossing the mountains, as there were too many traps there, she took him flying again to save time.
"Haha," Qu You sneered, "Kid, watch your tongue! Neither Elder Qing Mu nor Elder Ge Yang has a grandson. Do you think I'll believe your words? If she doesn't agree to be my disciple, fine! Get out of here now!
If Yun Luofeng was willing to be his disciple, he would surely take good care of her. If not, why should he waste his precious time for these people?
"Miss, what are you doing here? Do you want to join our Medical Tower too?"
.
.

Chapter 1644:- Came Back to the Physician Tower (3)
Suddenly, a surprised voice came. A moment later, the group of people who was just saved by Yun Luofeng from spirit snakes walked to them quickly. However...
When they saw the black-faced Qu You, they could not help but break into a cold sweat.
"Elder Qu You, this..."
"Are you members of our Physician Tower?" Qu You slightly raised his chin, "How dare you collaborate with a spy?"
Spy?
Brother Yu was stunned and looked at the woman in astonishment. "Elder Qu You, are you serious? This young lady saved our lives, and she can't be a spy..."
Qu You sneered, "I said she is a spy, so she must be a spy!"
This girl's medical skill must be excellent. Otherwise, her mental strength wouldn't be so strong.
Yes!
Qu You wanted Yun Luofeng to be his disciple, not because he 'had a good first impression' of her, but because he had the ability to detect people's mental strength. He had never seen or heard of anyone having such great mental strength, so if she didn't want to be his disciple, he would use every possible means to discredit her!
Yun Luofeng leaned languidly against a tree beside her, her hands clasped around her chest, and her wicked eyes turned to Qu You's face. She seemed to be waiting to see what choice the person she saved would make...
"Elder Qu, if you say this young lady is spy, what evidence do you have?" Brother Yu bit his lips, "If you don't have evidence, aren't you framing her?"
He didn't know what happened, but he knew that if it hadn't been for Yun Luofeng, they would have lost their lives under the attack of the spirit beasts. So...
Even if they would be expelled from the Medical Tower, they should not be ungrateful!
"You..." Qu You angrily pointed at Brother Yu, "You just joined the Physician Tower. How dare you question an elder's decision? Guards, get them!"
In an instant, several people rushed out of the Physician Tower and surrounded Yun Luofeng and the others in the middle. Over the past five years, the Medical Tower had many new members, so like Qu You, not all the people knew Yun Luofeng...
"Why is it so noisy outside? What's going on?"
Suddenly, a querulous voice came from inside the Physician Tower, and then two old figures stepped out of the threshold. Seeing Qing Mu and Ge Yang, Ye Xie rushed towards them when no one was paying attention. Qing Mu was startled, but when he saw Ye Xie, his face immediately changed.
"Why, my little ancestor, why are you here? The Ye Family is looking for you all over the world, and you just came here without telling anyone?
The Ye Family?
A gleam of doubt flickered across Yun Luofeng's eyes and she stared at the back of Ye Xie suspiciously.
Along the way, Ye Xie was very strong and didn't shed a tear even when he was seriously injured. But now, his eyes were filled with tears and he said pitifully, "Grandpa Qing Mu, these bad guys bullied me."
Qu You turned pale and trembled.
Did... this kid really know Elder Qing Mu? And Elder Qing Mu just mentioned the Ye Family. No...
That was impossible!
Was this kid the little genius of the Ye Family?
Qu You was so frightened that he almost wet his pants.
.
.
.
Chapter 1645:- Came Back to the Physician Tower (4)
However...
Though the Ye Family was powerful and closely connected with Master, he was forgivable. After all, no warning, no fault, right? Besides, the one he wanted to deal with was this girl, and the little genius of the Ye Family was just involved. So what he did was a minor offense at most...
At the thought of this, Qu You wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and carefully glanced at Qing Mu and Ge Yang...
However, at this moment, the two elders fixed their eyes on Yun Luofeng and couldn't move them away. Qing Mu's eyes were filled with surprise. He rubbed his eyes hard and opened them only to see the woman in white looking at him with a smile on her face.
"Master, you've come back? Am I dreaming?"
Ma... Master?
Plop!
Qu You was so scared that he dropped to the ground, his face ashen. The hope in his heart disappeared in an instant and his eyes were filled with despair.
Brother Yu and other people were also dumbfounded. So the woman who saved them was the legendary Master of the Physician Tower?
Ge Yang looked at the guards that surrounded Yun Luofeng, scowled, and asked in a cold voice, "What's going on?"
"Ge... Elder Ge Yang... "One guard swallowed hard and said with a trembling voice, "just now, Elder Qu You claimed the woman... Master was a spy and ordered us to catch her."
With every word that guard uttered, Qu You's heart trembled. It never occurred to him that this woman was Master.
Wasn't it said that Master went to the Seven Province Continent, and wouldn't come back until decades later? It had only been five years, and she was already back?
Ye Xie stared at the white-clad woman standing in the sun. His bright and innocent eyes were filled with surprise, but he just couldn't move his eyes away from her.
Grandpa Qing Mu said she was Master of the Physician Tower?
That was to say... this woman was his sister-in-law.
Yun Luofeng also turned her eyes to Ye Xie and slightly narrowed her eyes.
This little guy lied to me and said his surname was Lin?
"Spy?" Ge Yang sneered, leaned over to look at Ye Xie who froze and gave a kind smile, "Xiao Xie, tell Grandpa Ge Yang, why did these people frame Master as a spy?"
Ye Xie recovered from his reverie and said truthfully, "The old man saw that she was talented and wanted her as a disciple, but she refused, so he framed her as a spy."
Hearing this, Qing Mu got angry. He walked quickly to Yun Luofeng and plopped down on his knees.
"Master, it is my fault. I failed to choose the right people. But Master, I promise I will punish them severely without mercy!"
Qu You collapsed to the ground, and he knew that this time he was doomed!
"Get up," Yun Luofeng said, pulling up Qing Mu, "I won't blame you for this. But the next time you promote someone, you need to polish your eyes and see clearly."
After saying this, Yun Luofeng walked up to Brother Yu. "Your name?"
Brother Yu was stunned for a moment and replied respectfully, "Master, my name is Yu Xiong."
"You have talent. I will ask Qing Mu to take you as a disciple. I hope you can grasp this opportunity."
Yu Xiong was very happy to hear that. He fell to his knees, "Thank you, Master! I'll never let you down!"
.
.

Chapter 1646:- Came Back to the Physician Tower (5)
At this point, Yu Xiong still felt as though his head was in the clouds. He never expected this, and everything had happened so suddenly...
Yun Luofeng slowly withdrew her gaze, turned it to Ye Xie and smiled, "You said you were called Lin Xie?"
Ye Xie forced a smile and took two steps back while sweat seeped from his forehead. "Well, I was just..."
Seeing Ye Xie stepping backward, Yun Luofeng approached him slowly. "You came to the Physician Tower because you wanted to join it?"
There was a dangerous glow in her eyes, which made Ye Xie's skin crawl and he felt so uneasy and nervous. "I..." Ye Xie bit his lips, his eyes shining with tears, "I ran away from home, so I didn't dare to tell you my real name, in case my grandpa would catch me."
Yun Luofeng raised her eyebrows and gave a faint smile. "Why did you run away from home?"
Ye Xie shivered and slightly hung his head.
"I want to find my mom and dad, as well as you and Second Brother..." His eyes looked lonely. "Grandpa once told me that you and Second Brother went to the Seven Province Continent, and my mom and dad left home to find you, so... I haven't seen them since I was born."
He raised his head, and his large, bright eyes shone like stars.
"Sister-in-law, I miss my mom and dad whom I've never met. If I can find them and stay with them, I would gladly accept any hardship and risk."
Yun Luofeng felt as if her heart was seized by a hand, and she fell silent. Since Ye Xie was born, Jun Fengling and Ye Jingchen left the Ye Family, and now it had been five years. In the past five years, he didn't see his parents or enjoy any parental love. However, he had no resentment toward his 'irresponsible' parents.
He understood that his parents left home to improve their strength, so he would leave the Ye Family to find them...
"I know it hasn't been easy for you these years." Yun Luofeng reached out her hand and pulled Ye Xie into her arms.
Smelling the faint medicinal fragrance emanated from the woman's body, Ye Xie relaxed. Unable to restrain his grief over the years any longer, he tightly hugged Yun Luofeng's waist and cried out loud.
No matter how talented and famous he was, he was just a child...
At the age of five, he should have been loved by his parents, but he had already taken on important responsibilities at such a young age.
"Sister-in-law, I really want to... stay with my parents."
He had waited his whole life for this. To fulfill this dream, he had cultivated so hard and gained today's achievements...
"Your Mom and Dad had no alternative but to do this. I hope you... don't blame them." Yun Luofeng lowered her eyes. If it weren't for her and Yun Xiao, Jun Fengling would not have left her babies behind and left home.
Ye Xie wiped the tears from his eyes and gave a bright smile, "I know. I never blamed them..."
"Lord Qu You."
At this moment, a servant of the Qu Family rushed to him. Not knowing what happened, he quickly ran to Qu You.
"Good news! Master has found a girl to become Young Master's wife. That girl is very talented, and Young Master is very satisfied with her. Maybe in a few years, Young Master will have offspring."
.
.
.
Chapter 1647:- Rage of Ye Xie (1)
Qing Mu slightly frowned.
The young master of the Qu Family was born with dementia. However, since Master Qu gave birth to this son, he became infertile for some reason and could only have this son in his life. In order to revitalize the Qu Family, Master Qu Lin of the Qu Family was eager to find a girl who was both talented and beautiful to marry his son when she grew up. Falling into the hands of the Qu Family, that girl was really unlucky.
Qu You was relieved to hear this. He was going to die, but he would die without any regrets as long as the Qu Family could go on forever. Besides, today's events had nothing to do with the Qu Family. The two elders were sensible and wouldn't blame the Qu Family for this.
"It's a blessing to our Qu Family that Qu Yue can find a girl willing to marry him."
"But, Lord Qu You, that girl is unwilling to marry Young Master, and Master is taming her. I am sure that in several days the girl Ye Jun will become our Qu Family's young mistress."
Ye Jun?
The name, like a hammer, hit Ye Xie hard in the heart.
Qu You also shuddered and almost collapsed to the ground once again. His face ghastly pale, "What did you say was the name of that girl?"
Coincidence, it must be a coincidence!
Though the Qu Family people didn't know the name of the Ye Family's Miss, he, an elder of the Medical Tower, surely knew it...
"She's called Ye Jun. That little girl is very cute, and looks like..." the servant caught a glimpse of Ye Xie nearby and said in surprise, "like this little brother."
Boom!
Like being struck by a bolt from the blue, Qu You finally crumpled to the ground once again. His face was filled despair and he looked painful.
It's all over!
He had thought that the Qu Family could escape this disaster, but who would think that they were so audacious as to kidnap the Miss of the Ye Family?...
This time, no one would be able to save the Qu Family.
Ye Xie clenched his fists, and his big, innocent eyes were filled with anger. "Where is the little girl you caught?" He clenched his teeth and people could even clearly hear the grinding of his teeth.
The servant hesitated for a moment, but before he could speak, Ye Xie suddenly kicked at him and kicked him out of the room. It was hard to imagine that a child five years old could have such great strength...
"Grandpa Qing Mu," Ye Xie turned his head and looked at Qing Mu, "take me to the Qu Family!"
He wouldn't spare anyone who dared to touch his sister!
Xiao Mo curled his lip and stared at Qu You who had slumped to the ground. "The Qu Family people are all audacious. This old guy framed my master as a spy, and his son kidnapped my master's sister-in-law. Tut, I think they must be tired of life."
Who in the Land of No Return didn't know his master's behavior and style? Kidnapped Ye Jun? They were literally sending the Qu Family to hell!
Yun Luofeng thought for a while and slightly raised her head. "Xiao Mo, let's have a look too." A murderous desire gradually appeared on her beautiful face...
Mom and Dad left home for her and Yun Xiao, so she would never allow anyone to hurt their children!
.

Chapter 1648:- Rage of Ye Xie (2)
The Qu Family.
In the hall, Qu Lin scowled at the girl standing in the middle of the hall, her eyes grim.
"I'll give you one last chance. Will you join our Qu Family and become my son's fiancée?"
Ye Jun sneered, and her handsome face looked resolute. There was a mature look on her little face, which didn't match her age.
"No matter how many times you ask me, I have only one answer, No!"
"How dare you!"
Qu Lin hit his palm against the table and glared at Ye Jun, "I bought you, so you have to obey me! Our Qu Family had a high position in Endless City. We can do anything we want here. It's a blessing to you that you can be my son's fiancée. Don't be silly!"
Hearing this, Ye Jun turned to look at the boy who was standing next to Qu Lin and drooling over her, and a cold gleam came into her eyes.
Her voice was as childish as ever, but was resolute. "I, Ye Jun, will never marry a moron!"
"You..."
Had it not been for his son's marriage, Qu Lin would have been very glad to slap her to death!
"Daddy," said the boy, dragging Qu Lin's sleeve and staring at Ye Jun, "the little sitter looks so beautiful. Yue 'er wants to play with her."
Qu Lin's anger evaporated as soon as he heard the boy's voice and he lovingly comforted him.
"Okay, okay, the little sister will accompany Yue'er to play. Daddy will give Yue'er anything, as long as you like it."
"Daddy, then let the little sister share a bed with Yue'er and Yue'er also wants to eat her mouth." The boy smiled foolishly, not taking Ye Jun a human being. In his mind, Ye Jun was just a toy his daddy gave him.
Ye Jun's little face darkened, especially when she heard the last words of the boy, her face immediately changed.
"Gross!" she said coldly and refused to look at the boy again.
"You darn girl. Who do you think you are? I will give you a good lesson."
Qu Lin wouldn't tolerate anyone humiliating his son, so when he heard Ye Jun's words, he quickly rushed to Ye Jun and slapped her hard.
Though Ye Jun was not as talented as her brother, Ye Xie, she was also a rare genius. However, she was only five years old. What was a five-year-old child capable of, even if she was a genius? Under the pressing power of the middle-aged man, she was unable to move and was slapped hard.
Smack!
Ye Jun's cheek was immediately swollen and burned with pain. However...
She tried to hold back the tears that almost burst from her eyes, and continued to coldly stare at Qu Lin.
"This Endless City is the territory of our Qu Family. You are courting death if you dare to disobey us!" Qu Lin arrogantly raised his chin and looked down at Ye Jun expressionlessly. "Besides, no matter how stupid my son is, he is the only heir of our Qu Family. If you marry him, you'll become the young mistress of the Qu Family. In addition to a high position and great wealth, you'll also enjoy unlimited power in Endless City!"
Qu Lin didn't understand why anyone would be so stupid to reject such a high-flying path right in front of them. He didn't think this little girl could resist such a temptation.
"Ye Jun," Qu Lin continued, softening his tone, "if you become the young mistress of our Qu Family, even if you want to get into the upper levels of the Physician Tower, I can arrange it for you..."
.
.
.
Chapter 1649:- Rage of Ye Xie (3)
Ye Jun raised her eyebrows, and her pink little face was filled with disdain.
The master of the Physician Tower was her sister-in-law, and the Qu Family was only a subordinate of Sister-in-law. How could these people entice her with the Medical Tower?
"It seems that you really don't want to marry my son!" Qu Lin's face darkened. "In that case, don't blame me for being unkind to you. Guards, take this girl away and beat her hard until she agrees!"
After this, two guards of the Qu Family came forward and grabbed Ye Jun's arms to take her away. Just then, from the sky, a young yet domineering voice resounded, like a flame of anger surging out.
"Bastard, let go of my sister!"
Hearing the childish voice, Ye Jun froze. She slightly raised her head, and tears appeared in her eyes.
"Third Brother..."
...
In the sky there was a gorgeous woman in a snow-white robe carrying a little boy about five years old. Though the boy looked a bit pale, when he saw his sister being bullied, anger welled up within his heart like billowing waves that could instantly drown people.
"Who are you?" Qu Lin asked coldly with a frown.
Yun Luofeng cast a sideways glance at Qu Lin and gave a faint smile, "The one who comes to take your life."
Hearing this, Qu Lin paused and then burst into laughter. "Then I will see how you take our lives!"
After all, Qu You was an elder of the Physician Tower. How dare this girl speak so presumptuously? It was literally a provocation to the Medical Tower's authority! However, as Qu Lin said this, a sneer suddenly came from outside the door.
"I'd like to see how the Qu Family is courting death."
Qu Lin's body stiffened for a moment, and he raised his head in surprise only to see Elder Qing Mu and Elder Ge Yang walk in.
"Elder Qing Mu... Elder Ge Yang, why have you come here?" he stammered and his voice trembled.
And... Elder Qing Mu said he was courting death. What did it mean?
Hearing this, Qing Mu gave a sarcastic smile.
"Tut, your Qu Family is really audacious! How dare you ask me why I am here?! You caught Grandfather Ye's granddaughter and forced her to be your silly son's wife. Did you ever ask for the Ye Family's opinion?"
The Ye Family? Wait... Elder Qing Mu wasn't talking about 'that' Ye Family, right?
"Elder Qing Mu, the Ye Family you mentioned is..."
"The Ye Family you are thinking of."
At this moment, Qu Lin felt his heart skip a beat. His face was ghastly pale, and his legs were so weak that he almost stumbled and fell to the ground. Fortunately, he hastily took hold of a column beside him to prevent himself from falling. Even so, he was trembling all over, and his frightened eyes were fixed on Ye Jun.
How could this be possible? He just bought a girl from a human trafficker, and she happened to be Grandfather Ye's granddaughter?
"Daddy, I want this little sister to be my wife," the silly boy grunted, tugging at Qu Lin's sleeve. His eyes were greedy, and he stared intently at Ye Jun's lovely little face.
"Shut up!" Qu Lin snapped, his voice trembling...
.

Chapter 1650:- Rage of Ye Xie (4)
The young boy was scared. He didn't understand why his father, who always doted on him, was so angry at him...
"Elder Qing Mu, Elder Ge Yang, I really didn't know about the girl's identity."
Plop!
Qu Lin fell to his knees, his body shaking, "It's the Tiger Bandit Gang who is to blame. They kidnapped Miss Ye Jun, and I just bought her from them."
Ignorance could be forgiven. Elder Qing Mu would not destroy the Qu Family just because of this.
With a smile, Yun Luofeng, carrying Ye Xie, slowly descended from the sky and landed in front of Ye Jun...
Staring closely at Ye Jun's red and swollen cheek, Ye Xie felt his heart twitch and the furious flame in his heart surged out again. "Jun'er, who was it? Who hit you?"
Ye Jun pounced heavily into Ye Xie's arms and raised her little face. She looked aggrieved. However, she finally relaxed the moment Ye Xie appeared.
"Third Brother, I thought you also fell into the hands of those people, so I deferred to them, trying to find out your whereabouts. Now I'm finally relieved to see you safe and sound."
She smiled.
No one could deny that Ye Jun's smile was very similar to Jun Fengling's, cute yet handsome. Suddenly, a warm hand touched Ye Jun's swollen cheek, making her body slightly shiver, but she didn't avoid the woman's touch...
Her hand was gentle, like a mother's. As it touched her aching cheek, tears came to her eyes and she kept trembling. As a spirit cultivator, Ye Jun could felt the spirit energy contained in this jade-like hand, and the pain on her cheek gradually disappeared the moment the spirit energy passed through...
"Mom..."
Under the gentle touch of Yun Luofeng, Ye Jun couldn't help calling her 'mom'. Everyone in the Ye Family loved her, but no one's hand gave her such a warm feeling. Except for this woman...
But she soon realized that this woman was not her mom, so she wiped off her tears and gave a smile. "Sorry, I miss my mom so much, and you made me feel so warm that I couldn't help it..."
"Jun'er," Ye Xie smiled at Ye Jun, "it's not strange that you felt she was like your mom. Isn't there an old saying that a virtuous elder sister-in-law is comparable to a mother? Though she is just our sister-in-law, she is like our mother."
Sister-in-law?
Ye Jun's hand, wiping her tears, stopped. She raised her head in surprise and stared intently at the gorgeous white-clad woman. "Are... are you my sister-in-law? Is it really you?" Her heart was throbbing fast, and even her lips trembled.
Qu Lin was dumbfounded. Though he hadn't meet Yun Luofeng, he knew that the wife of the Ye Family's second young master was the master of the Physician Tower...
She was also the real ruler of Endless City.
But what did he do? He kidnapped her sister-in-law and talked a lot of nonsense in front of her. No wonder Elder Qing Mu said he was courting death! At the thought of this, Qu Lin finally fell to the ground, his face ashen, his eyes filled with fear...
Damn the Tiger Bandit Gang! If it hadn't been for them, how would I have offended the woman who was called the god of calamity?

"Sister-in-law..."
No matter how mature Ye Jun appeared, she was only a child five years old. When she saw Yun Luofeng, her mouth twitched and tears came down from her eyes.
"Shui'er is still in the hands of the bandit gang. If we go late, I'm afraid..."
"Shui'er?"
Yun Luofeng cast a suspicious glance at Ye Jun and asked, "Shui'er is?..."
"She's the child of Uncle Yun and Aunt Ning Xin."
Boom!
Anger welled up within Yun Luofeng when she heard Ye Jun's words, and she gave a wicked smile.
"Jun'er, lead the way."
Anyone who dared touch her family must pay!
"Sister-in-law, I'll take care of the matter here." Ye Xie coldly glanced at Qu Lin who had slumped to the ground, and a cold gleam flickered across his slightly narrowed eyes. "You and Jun'er go find Shui'er."
Qu Lin swallowed hard. His throat was dry, and he stared in horror at the young face...
Although the boy was still young, he already had a terribly powerful aura. It was not hard to imagine that in a dozen years the little boy would dominate the Land of No Return and become a new ruler!
"Are you afraid of heights?" Yun Luofeng asked softly as she looked down at the girl beside her.
Ye Jun shook her head, "No."
"Good, then let's go find Shui'er."
This time, Yun Luofeng didn't reserve her power but released all the spirit energy in her body. Her figure was like a shadow and disappeared in an instant.
Xiao Mo, who had been following Yun Luofeng, was dumbfounded. He stared in the direction of her departure and his clear eyes were filled with a grievance.
"Master has forgotten me since she has the little girl named Ye Jun." Yun Luofeng had never left him behind all these years, but now she had just forgotten him. Fortunately, with Yun Luofeng's current strength, Xiao Mo could leave the Gode Code World for a while...
...
"Trash!"
In a bungalow, Ruyi trampled on the man underneath, her coquettish face purple with anger. "You can't even find one man? How dare Lin Xi, that moron, just quit our Tiger Bandit Gang like this?!"
Not long ago, Lin Xi took Yun Ruoshui away. However, his behavior infuriated Yun Ruoshui, and the latter couldn't control the power in her body and made him disappear from the world. However, the Tiger Bandit Gang didn't know what Yun Ruoshui did. They only knew that Lin Xi was missing and Yun Ruoshui was gone too!
The brocade-robed young man pondered for a while and said slowly, "Ruyi, did anything happen to Lin Xi?"
Ruyi clenched her teeth, "With his strength, how would things go wrong? And, even if there's something wrong, he would have time to let us know, and wouldn't disappear for no reason! So I think the guy ran away with Yun Ruoshui!"
At that moment, Ruyi heard footsteps coming from outside the door, and she raised her head slightly only to see a pink little face. Ruyi paused for a while and then anger welled up within her. If she hadn't been stopped by her subordinate, she would have jumped up and whipped the girl hard.
"Tell me, where have you been lately? What about Lin Xi? Where is he?"
.
.

Chapter 1652:- Make Ye Family Expel Yun Luofeng? (2)
Yun Ruoshui raised her confused eyes, and her childish voice slowly rang in the quiet bungalow.
"He's dead."
She was telling the truth. Lin Xi did die in her hands.
"I killed him."
However, Yun Ruoshui's next words made these people who were still in shock burst into laughter.
"Little girl, do you think we'll believe your story? As we can see, you don't have any power. Even if you were a genius, how could you, a five-year-old kid, kill Lin Xi?" Ruyi looked contemptuously at her and she clearly didn't take Yun Ruoshui's words seriously.
Yun Ruoshui blinked, "Believe it or not, I've told you the truth. Now I'm back. You can lock me up."
"Humph!" Ruyi snorted. "Lock up this darn girl first. As to Lin Xi... as long as he joined us, he can never get rid of us."
Hearing Ruyi's words, a man came forward, grabbed Yun Ruoshui's small arm, and dragged her out of the door. Yun Ruoshui did not resist, letting the big man drag her out.
...
Inside the damp thatched hut, hearing the door squeak, everyone in the room raised their heads and looked at the little girl thrown into the hut.
"You came back?" It was the boy who spoke to Yun Ruoshui and Ye Jun. Though his face was dirty, it was clear he was a handsome boy.
"I came back to save you," Yun Ruoshui said, raising her big bright eyes. "I won't let the bad guys sell you."
Hearing this, the kids, who didn't take her words seriously, could not help but sniff.
"You can't even save yourself. How can you save us?"
"Yes, since we fell into the hands of these people, we'll be sold to the perverts sooner or later."
The kids talked to each other and no one believed Yun Ruoshui's words.
Yun Ruoshui said sincerely, "I'm telling the truth. If my mom hadn't prohibited me from killing, I would have turned all the bad guys into ashes."
She had a special constitution. The black spirit energy in her body had to devour people to grow. That was why her mother prohibited her from killing, because the growth of the black spirit energy would bring a fatal crisis to her.
"Come on, we'll accept our fate since we have been caught by them."
Among the kids, a little girl with two pigtails sighed. There was no childish innocence in her eyes, but only despair. These children all looked cute. Otherwise, they would not have been abducted.
Seeing that Yun Ruoshui was going to cry, the handsome boy sitting in the corner tried to comfort her. "Well, I believe you have the ability. By the way, I remember you and your sister wanted to find someone. Have you found that person?"
Yun Ruoshui answered with tears in her eyes, "No, we haven't found him yet. Little brother, I'm Yun Ruoshui. What's your name?"
"Wu Yan."
The boy said flatly.
Wu Yan?
Yun Ruoshui paused. This name sounded like a pseudonym. It seemed that the boy didn't want to tell her his real name...
"You said you could save us. How are you going to do it?" Wu Yan looked at Yun Ruoshui and asked curiously.
.
.

Chapter 1653:- Make Ye Family Expel Yun Luofeng? (3)
Yun Ruoshui smiled.
Her two small canine teeth looked cute as she smiled.
"Brother Wu Yan, I've informed my family, and soon they'll come here. That's why I came back here alone. When they come here, we will be saved."
Wu Yan smiled helplessly. "If you wanted to save us, why did you come back? You could have just waited for your family outside."
She paused, patted her head and sighed, "I'm so stupid! Why didn't I think of that?! But Brother Wu Yan, don't worry. These bad guys can't hurt me." That was because any person who bullied her would become the food of the black spirit energy and turn into ashes.
"Haha," someone among the kids laughed sarcastically, "do you know the background of the Tiger Bandit Gang? The Tiger Bandit Gang is powerful in itself, but more importantly, they have a good relationship with a lot of powerful families on the continent. Even if your family comes here, they can't be a rival to the Tiger Bandit Gang."
It was the little girl who laughed at her just now. She bit her lips tightly and her face was pale with despair.
No one could save them.
No one!
Yun Ruoshui didn't know the little girl was mocking her. She smiled innocently, "My family is very powerful and there isn't any problem they can't solve, so as long as they come here, we will be saved..."
No one took Yun Ruoshui's words seriously. In their minds, Yun Ruoshui was just boasting.
There wasn't any problem they couldn't solve? How could that be possible?! Besides the supreme Medical Tower in the Land of No Return, who else had such power?
Just then, a chorus of birdsong came from outside. Hearing the birdsong, Yun Ruoshui jumped to her feet and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's the spirit beasts that my family domesticated. They finally found me!"
...
Countless spirit beasts were hovering in the sky and tweeting from time to time. Startled, Ruyi and others ran out of the door, and their faces changed when they saw the spirit beasts in the sky.
"Look at the badges these spirit beasts wear!" A woman screamed, "These spirit beasts are from the Ye Family!"
Oh no! Why did the Ye Family's spirit beasts appear here?
Although these spirit beasts were not very powerful because the Ye Family hadn't been able to domesticate powerful ones yet, they represented the Ye Family. That was really frightening!
Ruyi's heart sank and she felt uneasy. For some reason, she had a feeling that something had gone wrong...
"Miss Ruyi, what should we do?" The woman looked anxiously at Ruyi, "Since these spirit beasts have appeared here, it means that the Ye Family people will come here soon. How on earth did we offend the Ye Family?"
Ruyi's face was ghastly pale, and suddenly Ye Jun's face popped up in her mind.
That little girl's surname was Ye!
Was it... because of her that the Ye Family came here?
No, it was impossible!
Ruyi hurriedly shook her head and violently tossed away the thoughts in her mind. It was just a coincidence. She couldn't be so unlucky as to bump into the Ye Family people. Besides, if she was the Miss of the Ye Family, how could she not be followed by strong masters?
"Miss Ruyi... "
.
.
.
Chapter 1654:- Make Ye Family Expel Yun Luofeng? (4)
Seeing that Ruyi didn't respond, the woman anxiously called her again.
"What can I do?" Ruyi snorted, "Now we should figure out what happened first, so as to make preparations for an emergency. Besides, the Ye Family is not unreasonable. If there is a misunderstanding, we just need to clear the air."
Just after Ruyi said this, a beautiful figure stepped on a falcon and flew into the sky.
The woman, in a yellow robe, looked beautiful and graceful. Her long pitch-black hair was gently fluttering in the wind and her delicate facial features were somewhat similar to Yun Ruoshui's.
Ruyi took a deep breath, looked up at the woman on the sky and asked aloud, "Are you from the Ye Family?
Ning Xin looked at Ruyi, "I'm not from the Ye Family, but... my niece is the granddaughter-in-law of the Ye Family..."
Ruyi, on tenterhooks, was relieved to hear this. It turned out that this woman was not from the Ye Family. She just strutted in on borrowed plumes...
She was not from the Ye Family, which meant that she didn't offend the Ye Family. Ironically, Ruyi didn't even think about their relationship. The Ye Family only had one grandson who had been married, who was Yun Xiao. Hence, it was clear that Ning Xin was the wife of Yun Luofeng's Second Uncle...
Compared with the powerful Ye Family, Yun Luofeng was more frightening. Otherwise, she wouldn't be called the god of calamity! But Ruyi didn't figure it out and made an unforgivable mistake.
"Miss, is there any misunderstanding between us?" Ruyi smiled, "Look, you tried to frighten me with the spirit beasts of the Ye Family. If the Ye Family finds out about it, I'm afraid you can't explain to them, right?"
This woman was not a member of the Ye Family but flaunted their spirit beasts. How could the Ye Family people tolerate such behavior?
"There is no misunderstanding between you and me," Ning Xin glanced at Ruyi, her beautiful face cold, "I came here to look for my daughter."
Daughter?
Ruyi paused and a gleam flickered across her eyes, and she simpered, "Miss, I think you made a mistake. Your daughter is not here. You'd better look for her somewhere else."
Ning Xin looked down at Ruyi and the other people and slowly raised her hand...
"Miss!" Ruyi's face changed sharply, "you brought out the spirit beasts of the Ye Family. The strong masters of the Ye Family don't know about it, do they?" As she spoke, she glanced at Ning Xin out of the corner of her eye. Seeing Ning Xin slowly put down her hand, she smiled triumphantly.
"Powerful as the Ye Family is, they certainly dislike anyone to bully others in their names. If you attack us today, perhaps Grandfather Ye will have his grandson divorce your niece and expel her from the Ye Family if he finds out what you did. "
Ning Xin stroked her chin with her fingers and smiled. "Your words make sense... So, I'd like to see if the Ye Family will expel Feng'er or not."
Wait...
Ruyi shuddered.
How many grandchildren of the Ye Family were married? And...
She just called her niece... Feng'er?
Ruyi's face turned ghastly pale, and an obvious answer popped up in her mind but was pressed down by her. Her lips trembled and she couldn't utter a word...
.
.
.
Chapter 1655:- Yun Luofeng Arrives (1)
"You... who are you?" Ruyi's voice trembled, without its initial contempt and arrogance.
Ning Xin smiled. "I've said that my niece is the Ye Family's daughter-in-law. Didn't you mention making the Ye Family divorce my niece?"
Hearing her words, Ruyi opened her mouth, wanting to confirm her internal suspicious. However, before she managed to speak, a child's voice suddenly sounded from the sky.
"Second Aunt, Shui'er had been hidden by them in this place."
To everyone present, this voice was very familiar.
Ruyi stiffly raised her head, and she saw two figures who were rushing over across the skies at a fast speed.
High above the azure skies, there was a woman dressed in white-robes and her appearance was extremely gorgeous. She held a child about five years old in her arms and this child was very adorable, yet her eyes showed a heroic spirit.
"Ye Jun? Wasn't she..." Wasn't she sent over to the Qu Family? Why would she appear here? In addition, who is that white-robed lady?
"Ning Xin?" With a quick glance, Yun Luofeng spotted the yellow-robed lady standing on the falcon's back not far away, and a trace of astonishment flashed through her eyes.
Concurrently, Ning Xin had seen Yun Luofeng... Her lips faintly moved as a glint surfaced in her eyes, seemingly having thousands of words to say. Yet after meeting her, she couldn't utter a single word...
"Aunt Ning Xin," a smile surfaced on Ye Jun's face, "you're finally here. Shui'er was locked up by these people."
Aunt Ning Xin? Ye Jun addressed this woman as aunt and that was to say... Ye Jun was from the Ye Family?
Whoosh!
In that instant, Ruyi's complexion became increasingly pale and her body was on the verge of collapsing.
"Feng'er," Ning Xin smiled and asked, "Why have you returned?"
Yun Luofeng shrugged her shoulders. "I provoked some people and they wanted to attack you to retaliate against me, so I returned to deal with them. Oh right, has anyone been looking for trouble at the Ye Family in recent days?"
Thinking for a moment, Ning Xin shook her head. "No one has come looking for trouble."
Having heard this, Yun Luofeng relaxed. It seems like she was in time and the Saintly Virgin Tribe had not appeared at the Ye Family yet.
"You... who are you?" Just as Yun Luofeng was muttering to herself, a shivering voice sounded from below.
Ruyi stared unwaveringly at her peerless appearance and her body shook uncontrollably, afraid that she would hear the answer she dreaded the most.
"You're asking for my name?" Yun Luofeng smiled. "My name is Yun Luofeng."
Boom!
In an instant, it was just like thunder sounded and exploded, causing Ruyi's body to tremble even harder. With a bang, her butt fell against the ground. Consequently, the other's expressions also turned deathly white in succession and looked in dismay at the lady who was standing facing into the wind.
"Yun Luofeng? She's Yun Luofeng?"
"Oh no, she's actually that god-like existence. What kind of enemy has our Fierce Tiger Bandit Gang provoked this time around!?"
In these five years, there was a saying that circulated within the Land of No Return.
One would rather provoke the King of Hell than provoke Yun Luofeng. Otherwise, you would meet the same end as the three families in Endless City!
Unexpectedly, the person they abducted this time was actually Yun Luofeng's cousin!
Ye Jun swept a glance over at the group of people with their heads lowered and with faces as white as a sheet.
"Previously Shui'er mentioned that the Physician Tower Master was her cousin but do you remember what you said then?" Ye Jun paused and her smile was exceptionally resplendent. "You said that if the Tower Master was really her cousin, then you're the Tower Master's husband."

Chapter 1656:- Yun Luofeng Arrives (2)
In that instant, two ladies standing in the air looked towards the Fierce Tiger Bandit Gang, and the person who spoke those words was filled with despair as his expression changed.
Suddenly, a penetrating shout echoed and could be heard from a thatched cottage not far away.
"Ahhh!"
Ning Xin's expression suddenly darkened. "Keep a close watch and prevent them from escaping!"
After she issued her commands, the spirit beasts in the skies bellowed and encircled the Fierce Tiger Bandit Gang.
Even without these spirit beasts encirclement, the members didn't dare to have any other thoughts. The Ye Family was a powerful influence and if they dared to escape, they would definitely be hunted down by them. At that time, they would have to suffer a more severe punishment.
Without the slightest hesitation, Yun Luofeng transformed into a streak of light and dashed towards the thatched cottage.
Outside the cottage, two guards who were dispatched by Ruyi to watch over had hastily pushed the door open and entered after hearing the yell. The moment they saw the scene in the cottage, they instantly screamed...
The little girl was tightly hugging her knees, and black spirit energy emerged from her. A man was firmly bound within that energy as he released painful and anguished wails. In no time at all his body had progressively dried up and turned into ashes, drifting throughout the thatched cottage.
The children within the cottage were shocked as their astonished gaze fell on Yun Ruoshui's young face, swallowing their saliva with difficulty. In particular, the young lady who had ridiculed her before was shocked into silence.
"I said before that I caused Lin Xi's death. Why didn't you believe me?" Yun Ruoshui raised her young face, and her large glistening eyes were filled with sadness. "If you believed what I said, you wouldn't have continuously provoked me."
The two guards of the Fierce Tiger Bandit Gang were still unaware of the happenings but they knew that the little girl before them was a demon.
Escape! Both of them met each other's eyes, turning to leave.
However, the instant they turned around, a figure suddenly appeared before them. Seeing that they were about to collide with that figure, spirit energy suddenly surged forth from the other party, sending them crashing with a bang.
Yun Ruoshui froze and the instant she looked up, a beautiful and dignified face was reflected in her eyes. A layer of tears surfaced from her eyes and she suddenly stood up, then pounced toward the lady with a loud cry.
The lady spread her arms and hugged the little girl's petite figure into her embrace, gently smiling. "Shui'er, Mother has arrived late. I'm sorry..."
"Mom, why do others constantly provoke me when I didn't do anything? I've told them that they'll definitely die if they provoke me but they just don't believe my words." Yun Ruoshui felt wronged. She had never lied yet no one believed what she said.
Ning Xin felt sorry and hugged her own daughter. Her slender long fingers gently stroked Yun Ruoshui's beautiful hair, with a gentle look on her face.
"Shui'er, Mother will never let anyone harm you in the future."
Her fingers gently caressed Lin Ruoshui's face and the black aura between her brows caused Ning Xin's heart to suddenly thump and sighed heavily.
The more Yun Ruoshui killed, the more her life would also be in danger. This was the reason Ning Xin forbade her to kill...
Within the thatched cottage, there was another young lady in ragged clothing. Compared to the others, she was evidently older, around the age of twelve to thirteen. Her lapels seemed to have been torn and appeared to be in bad shape.
.

Chapter 1657:- Yun Luofeng Arrives (3)
The young lady was silent for a moment before gathering her courage to walk to Yun Ruoshui and timidly said, "Thank you for what you did earlier..." If it weren't for Yun Ruoshui's help, she would've long lost her chastity to that bastard.
Ning Xin quirked her brows and turned towards Yun Ruoshui, evidently asking her what happened.
"Mom, that person earlier was also the accomplice who abducted me. He wanted to attack this little sister and Shui'er couldn't stand by and look, so I argued with him. After that, I didn't manage to control myself and killed him..."
Yun Ruoshui pouted, with her eyes gleaming with tears. "Shui'er didn't do so on purpose, he was the one who was wrong."
Ning Xin sighed and didn't have the heart to blame Lin Ruoshui. Instead, she hugged her petite figure with even more strength.
"Shui'er, believe in Mother. There will come a day that I'll make your body to be the same as others."
Lin Ruoshui hastily nodded and as if recalling something, she suddenly turned towards the young ladies in the cottage and smiled innocently. "I said before that my family will definitely come to rescue me. With them here, the Fierce Tiger Bandit Gang is nothing!"
The crowd was silent and after a long time, a young child spoke with a timid voice.
"The background of the Fierce Tiger Bandit Gang is very powerful and many factions on the continent are connected with them. After offending her, our ending will definitely be more miserable..."
"Influences behind the Fierce Tiger Bandit Gang?" Just then a bewitching and wicked voice sounded from outside the cottage. A moment later, a white-robed lady slowly entered, as an eerie smile quirked on her peerless face.
"I wonder what factions does this Fierce Tiger Bandit Gang have behind them?"
The little girl stared blankly. She only knew that the factions behind the Bandit gang were very powerful, but as to how powerful they were, she was unaware.
Wu Yan shot a glance at the little girl before turning his eyes towards Yun Luofeng and revealing all the information he knew. "The Fengyun Estate of Wushuang Empire, Liu family who is one of the three big families in Tianhui Empire, Tianyin Sect of Liuyue Empire, and..."
"In addition, I've heard that the Fierce Tiger Bandit Gang is also related with the Qu Family, the one in Endless City."
Yun Luofeng narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Second Aunt, did you hear him? I've destroyed the Qu Family and for the other factions, you shall lead troops to destroy them. The Fierce Tiger Bandit Gang does not shrink from any crime and they must've committed crimes sufficient to fill the heavens to be connected with various large factions. I should return this Land of No Return to a peaceful and orderly state."
Everyone was dumbstruck. Her tone was very arrogant and she said she wanted to casually exterminate so many powerful factions in the Land of No Return? What background did she have? Furthermore, she said that she had destroyed the Qu Family?
That young man named Wu Yan quietly looked at Yun Luofeng as his eyes flickered, and no one knew what he was thinking...
"Mother," Yun Ruoshui blinked her eyes as her gaze fell on Yun Luofeng. "Who is this big sister?"
Why did she bring about a familiar feeling?
Ning Xin smiled and stoked Yun Ruoshui's head. "She's the cousin we've mentioned to you before."
Lin Ruoshui's eyes instant brightened. God knew how long she had wanted to meet this cousin of hers that was renowned throughout the continent. Unexpectedly, she had met her in such a situation and she jumped in excitement.
"Cousin," She struggled free of Ning Xin's embrace and walked to Yun Luofeng's side, with a naive and innocent look. "Shui'er has often heard Mom and Dad talk about your heroic and valiant deeds. Therefore... you've always been Shui'er's idol, and the target Shui'er strives to reach!"
.

Chapter 1658:- Yun Luofeng Arrives (4)
Lowering her head and looking at the young girl with a childish nature, her heart was struck and filed with gentleness in an instant.
"Your name is Yun Ruoshui?"
"It's fine to call me Shui'er!" Yun Ruoshui happily said.
Giving a slight smile, her fingers gently pressed between Yun Ruoshui's brows.
In that instant, Yun Ruoshui felt the other party's fingers were similar to a thorn that pierced between her brows. Soon after, warm spirit energy flowed through from there and spread throughout her body, causing her to feel comfortable.
"Second Aunt," Yun Lufoeng turned towards Ning Xin. "Her physique is somewhat special and I can only use this method to temporarily suppress the spirit energy within her. After I manage to find other methods, I'll return to help her"
In the first instance she met Yun Ruoshui, Yun Luofeng had discovered the peculiarity in her body. If this continued on, Yun Ruoshui would be devoured by the black spirit energy within a few years.
Hearing her words, Ning Xin's heart was filled with worry. "Feng'er you have no methods to help Shui'er?"
"Actually..." Yun Luofeng was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "it isn't a problem to save her. I have the ability to let the black spirit energy completely disappear but as a result, she would be unable to cultivate, and would definitely be a trash."
Ning Xin's expression perked up. She did not care for her daughter's talents, it was sufficient as long as her daughter was safe and sound. However, before she spoke, Yun Ruoshui hastily interrupted. "No, Shui'er doesn't want to be a trash. If Shui'er becomes one, I can't chase after Cousin's footsteps. I absolutely don't want that!"
Ning Xin's heart froze. She wanted her daughter to continue living yet she did not wish to go against her wishes.
"Feng'er are there other methods?"
Yun Luofeng shook her head. "My intentions are the same as Shui'er's. Instead of completely uprooting her internal spirit energy, I suggest that we let it become her power. Not only would it not harm her, it will even become her strength. However, I don't have the ability to accomplish this at this moment..."
Ning Xin sighed. "Feng'er, when you are able to help Shui'er, will she still be alive?"
If her daughter was unable to survive, then she would rather let Yun Ruoshui become a trash and she could also take care of her forever.
"I've sealed the spirit energy, preventing it from affecting her body. Yet I can only seal it for five years at the most. In these five years, I will find a method to help Shui'er." Yun Luofeng was silent for a moment and continued. "If I'm unable to find a method in five years, I'll remove this spirit energy from her body."
Ning Xin's body stiffened. Lowering her eyes to look at Yun Ruoshui's childish face, she secretly made a firm decision. "Alright, we will act according to your plan."
In contrast, Yun Ruoshui did not have many worries as she innocently smiled. "Cousin, you're very powerful and you will definitely be able to help Shui'er. Shui'er believes in you."
Shui'er believes in you...
The child's young voice caused Yun Luofeng to gradually become resolute. With this sentence of hers, she must absolutely help her.
"Give me five years. After five years, I will definitely allow Shui'er to become a matchless genius!"
Ning Xin looked at Yun Ruoshui and Yun Luofeng. A trace of determination surfaced in her clear eyes.
"Shui'er, in the future, not only will Feng'er be your cousin but also your master, do you understand? No matter how huge of an accomplishment you achieve in the future, you have to remember that this was given to you by Feng'er, and your life was also saved by her."
Yun Ruoshui nodded in confusion. "Mother, Shui'er understands."

Chapter 1659:- Yun Luofeng Arrives (5)
If someone else said they could save her daughter, Ning Xin would never believe their words. It was precisely because it was Yun Luofeng that she believed that she had the ability!
The two members of the Fierce Tiger Bandit Gang had been scared by Yun Luofeng, not daring to utter a single word. They were still continuously hesitating as to why Miss Ruyi had yet to appear. Although they had witnessed the strange phenomenon in the skies, they did not take it to heart and didn't know that those spirit beasts had come for the Fierce Tiger Bandit Gang...
"If my guess isn't wrong..." Wu Yan was silent for a moment before looking up towards Ning Xin, "you're from the Ye Family."
"It's said that the daughter-in-law of the Ye Family was named Yun, while the second son's wife of Yun Family was called Ning Xin. I wonder, are you that person?"
Ning Xin squinted her eyes and smiled. "You know quite a lot."
The young man smiled. "There's nothing I don't know on this continent."
"Oh?" Ning Xin quirked her brow, "Then why did you fall into the hands of the Fierce Tiger Bandit Gang?"
The young man's eyes flickered. "Just as how a horse stumbles, humans can also make mistakes, and I was simply careless." Clearly, he was unwilling to say anything else.
"Since you're the wife of the Yun Family's second son," the young man slowly turned and he looked at Yun Lufoeng, "you're the calamity of the Land of No Return, the Physician Tower Master, Yun Luofeng!"
Hua! The group was in an uproar.
Perhaps they might not have heard of Ning Xin in the Land of No Return, or the number one genius of the Ye Family, but no one was unaware of Yun Luofeng's name.
From the oldest centenarians to the youngest toddler three years old, they all knew Yun Luofeng's past achievements by heart. Even though she was named as the calamity god by everyone, she was the lofty ideal of the entire Continent. Especially the Yun Luofeng of the past that exterminated three big factions of Endless City for her own disciple out of rage. Even until today, her deeds were discussed enthusiastically by people.
The two members of the Fierce Tiger Bandit Gang were so shocked that they had even wet their pants as their pale faces were filled with fear.
Ye Family? Yun Luofeng? Oh god, what type of expert had they provoked this time?
Compared to those people who were shocked, the smile on Yun Ruoshui's face became even more resplendent, similar to the sun that illuminated hearts.
"I've said this before, to my family, the Fierce Tiger Bandit Gang is nothing. Do you believe me now?"
The crowd maintained their silence. A moment later, the young lady who questioned Yun Ruoshui stood up and deeply bowed before her. "I'm sorry, I had failed to recognize the influence of your family. I beg of you to save us, I want to return home."
Yun Ruoshui was not someone who held a grudge, but the precondition was that the other party did not touch her bottom line. Therefore, facing the little girl's apology, she smiled in embarrassment.
"Since I said that I'll save all of you, I will definitely bring you out." After speaking, Yun Ruoshui turned towards Wu Yan. "Brother Wu Yan, where is your home? I'll have Mother dispatch someone to take you home."
Ning Xin furrowed her brows and unconsciously looked at the young man's handsome appearance. She could sense that her daughter treated this young man preferentially, but he was too mysterious to the extent that she did not wish for her daughter to have dealings with him.
Wu Yan was silent and only spoke up after a long time. "My parents are dead and I'm alone by myself."
Ning Xin remarked, "How would you understand so much about the continent without any parents, to even claim that there's nothing you're unaware of on this continent?"
.

Chapter 1660:- Going Home (1)
Wu Yan turned taciturn, seemingly pondering over something and after a long time, he made a decision. His unwavering attention fell on Yun Luofeng. "Regarding this matter, I wish to speak with you alone."
"Feng'er!" Hearing his request, Ning Xin's heart tightened and she was filled with vigilance towards Wu Yan, afraid that the other party would do something harmful towards Yun Luofeng.
In contrast, Yun Luofeng revealed a smile. "Second Aunt, take others out first. I'd like to speak with him alone."
Ning Xin was somewhat hesitant but ultimately she chose to believe in Yun Lufoeng's choice.
"Shui'er, let's go out first and not disturb your cousin..." She quirked her brow and her eyes swept across the children. "Now you're free and I'll send Ye Family guards to take you home."
After speaking, her stern gaze shot towards the two members of the Fierce Tiger Bandit Gang. "You'll have to pay the price for daring to kidnap my daughter!"
Whoosh! In that instant, two spirit beasts swooped down and landed before Ning Xin. "Bring these two along and take everyone back to the Ye Family for punishment!" Ning Xin then stepped out of the cottage after settling everything, leaving the space for Yun Luofeng.
There was a smile on Yun Luofeng's face as her fingers gently caressed her chin. "Alright, now you can tell me your identity."
"I can't tell anyone my identity," Wu Yan looked up, and his pitch-black eyes contained a resolute glint. "However, I wish that you could take me in. If you do so, I will definitely be of help to you in the future!"
"Help?" Yun Luofeng gently chuckled. "Someone has cast a restriction on your body so how can you help me?"
The young man's expression stiffened. Evidently, he had anticipated that the condition of his body couldn't be concealed from Yun Luofeng. "I believe you have the ability to remove this restriction."
"Reason, give me a reason. Or should I say, how would I benefit from helping you?"
Yun Luofeng would never do something without a benefit.
Bang!
Wu Yan suddenly knelt on the ground with one knee, with a deferential expression. "I have nothing to give you, and the only thing I have is this life of mine! If you're willing to take me in, from today on my life belongs to you!"
"Alright, I'll agree to it." The young lady's wicked voice was similar to a gentle wind, entering Wu Yan's ears.
His eyes widened and he looked at the white-robed lady in disbelief.
Did she agree? Why? Everyone claims that Yun Luofeng is vicious and merciless but why did she agree to my request without asking for a reason or figuring out my identity? This... was too unconventional.
Thinking of this, Wu Yan felt apprehensive internally. "You're not going to continue asking about my identity?"
"Since you're unwilling to say, naturally I won't force you. I've always believed in my instincts." Her instincts had always been accurate. For example, her instincts told her that the little boy she picked up and named Wu was definitely problematic!
"Thank you."
Wu Yan's voice was somewhat hoarse. "Right now, I can't reveal my identity but when the time comes, I will honestly reveal it to you. However, I can guarantee that I will never betray you in my life."
The young man's expression brightened, to the extent it was as dazzling as the sunlight.
"I have a matter to settle now and can't take you with me. Right now the assignment I'll give you is to stay in the Ye Family and accompany Shui'er's growth."
