Chapter 186 The Annulment Was Worth It 1

The next morning, after Wu Qingce and the others left, Jiang Beiran stretched his back and looked up at the sky in satisfaction.

“It’s indeed very convenient to take in more underlings.”

Regarding the matter of the Hong family’s eldest daughter, Jiang Beiran believed that if he had “triggered” the incident of going up the mountain to suppress the bandits, the follow-up actions would definitely not be so simple. It was also absolutely possible for him to hide in that small mountain stronghold and wait for a mystic emperor to ambush him.

Of course, if Jiang Beiran had personally come into contact with that Hong family’s eldest daughter, things would go very sideways.

He had to let Wu Qingce and the others took the lead, and then he would take over the problem later. This would decrease the degree of trouble in this matter.

I feel like I’ll be able to successfully exploit the bug no matter how many times I come here. I’m so comfortable now.

On the other side, before the three of them were ready to enter Jiyuan Town, Gu Qinghuan held a small meeting with the other two. After confirming their respective tasks, Gu Qinghuan took out the red, yellow, and green silk pouches and said to Wu Qingce, “Senior Brother Qingce, I have three silk pouches here. Take them.”

Wu Qingce took the three silk pouches in puzzlement. He raised his head and asked, “These are…?”

“After entering the Ye Residence, if Ye Fan himself comes to look for you, please open the red silk pouch. If someone comes to look for you for Ye Fan, please open the yellow silk pouch. If no one comes to look for you voluntarily, please open the green silk pouch.”

“I see.” Wu Qingce nodded and cupped his hands toward Gu Qinghuan. “Thank you for your kindness, Brother Gu.”

Gu Qinghuan replied, “I’m glad that I can help.”

“Of course. Then I’ll go to the Ye Residence first.”

After saying that, Wu Qingce cupped his hands toward the other two people and walked into Jiyuan Town.

At the entrance of the Ye Residence, two guards were whispering about the annulment of the Ye family’s engagement in the streets of Jiyuan Town. Every time someone passed by the entrance of the Ye Residence, they would always feel that these people were snickering.

Just as the two of them were sighing, they saw a handsome young man walking towards them. He was wearing a snow-white robe with straight lapels. The robe had a good drooping feeling, and his waist was tied with a wide belt with green cloud patterns, there was also a piece of black jade hanging on it. The jade looked rough, but it was ancient and gloomy.

His black hair was tied casually with a silver ribbon. There was neither a crown nor a hairpin. A few strands of hair on his forehead were blown away by the wind and danced together with the silver ribbon. It looked quite light.

“I, Wu Qingce of Sect of Returning Hearts of the Fengzhou is here to pay a visit to Master Ye under the order of my master. I would like to trouble the two of you to inform him.”

The two guards were initially stunned when they heard the name of the Fengzhou after hearing Wu Qingce’s report. However, they immediately understood after they heard the name of Sect of Returning Hearts.

The two of them were somewhat unhappy when they heard the name of Heart of Returning Hearts because of the annulment of the engagement. They knew that they were just small guards. That was no point of expressing their feelings at all. The other party dared to break off the engagement with the grandson of the Ye family, and nobody cared for their opinions. They would probably have no place to complain even if they were killed.

Thus, one of the guards quickly cupped his hands and said, “So you are a distinguished guest of Sect of Returning Hearts. Young Master, please wait for a moment. I will go in and report to Old Master right away.”

“Sorry for the trouble.” Wu Qingce cupped his hands towards that person.

Very soon, the guard told the butler about this matter. The butler then quickly arrived at the main hall where Old Master was.

At this moment, Ye Lingtian was in the main hall discussing important matters with a few members of the family. Ye Lingtian knew that the butler would not come and interrupt the meeting unless it was an urgent matter. He pressed his hand down and asked, “What is

it?”

“Reporting to Old Master, a young man who claims to be a disciple of Sect of Returning Hearts has arrived outside.”

“Oh?” A few core members of the Ye family frowned when they heard that. They had heard from Old Master that Lu Yinlong had sent a direct disciple of his to apologize and that he would arrive on another day.

However, even though he was Lu Yinlong’s direct disciple, the members of the Ye family who had been ridiculed for the past two days still felt a little unhappy in their hearts.

After all, the Ye family had lost so much face because of the annulment of the engagement. In the end, Lu Yinlong had sent a disciple here. It was obvious that he looked down on the Ye family.

The eldest son of the Ye family, Ye Chuan, let out a breath and looked at Ye Lingtian. “Father, this Lu Yinlong treated us with contempt. Shouldn’t we show this brat some strength?”

Looking at his eldest son who had a screw loose in his head, Ye Lingtian was just about to open his mouth. However, his second son, Ye Xiude, shook his head and said, “Big Brother, you mustn’t. That Lu Yinlong is very fond of his achievements to begin with. He values his face more than anything else. If you insult his direct disciple, isn’t that equivalent to slapping his face?”

Ye Lingtian only nodded his head in satisfaction after hearing this. It was still his second son who was calm and collected in the face of trouble.

Hearing Ye Xiude refuting him, Ye Chuan immediately slammed the table and said, “What? Lu Yinlong could save his own face, but we could not?!”

Ye Xiude cupped his hands, he replied, “I didn’t mean that. It’s just that this matter needs to be discussed from a long-term perspective. We must not act rashly.” After saying that, he looked at Ye Lingtian and said, “Father, let’s listen to what that disciple has to say first.”

“Alright, Xiude’s words are just what I want.” After saying that, Ye Lingtian said to the butler, “Go and bring him in.”

Hearing that his father was standing on his younger brother’s side again, Ye Chuan snorted coldly and kept a straight face without saying anything.

Not long after, Wu Qingce was led by the butler to the main hall. He took a look inside and bowed to Ye Lingtian who was sitting on the armchair in the middle. “Wu Qingce from Sect of Returning Hearts greets Old Master Ye.”
