"Now."
"Alright." Ye Lan nodded, "Xingtian, Nuo'er, wait for me outside. I'll be out in a moment."
Ye Xingtian wanted to say something but when he saw the determined look on his father's face, he sighed exasperatedly, joined his fists and retreated out of the room.
"Bodyguard Gu, your fiancé was here first. I'll admit that he's your first husband but I want to be your second."
Ye Nuo raised his chin proudly but in the end, he was still a little worried. He added, "I'm still young so tell him not to bully me."
Instantly, Gu Ruoyun's face turned black. Without waiting for him to speak, Ye Lan rose to his feet, grabbed Ye Nuo like an eagle grabbing a chick and threw him out of the room. Then, he slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
"Little girl, don't listen to this kid's nonsense." Ye Lan looked a little embarrassed, "He just doesn't want to leave you. He thinks that you won't abandon him if he marries you."
"I understand."
Gu Ruoyun smiled and said, "Let's begin now."
...
Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, the sky was filled with the glow of the setting sun.
After Ye Xingtian had left, he had wanted to leave first but in the end, he was still worried so he stayed and waited outside the door.
As he watched the sky grow darker, his heart grew increasingly anxious. He paced back and forth uneasily, his eyes darting towards the tightly shut door from time to time.
Finally, the door was slowly pushed open and a white-robed old man stroked his white beard. His face was full of smiles as he stepped out from the staircase.
"Father!"
Ye Xingtian's eyes lit up and he hurriedly rushed forward, asking worriedly, "How is it?"
"Hehe," Ye Lan chuckled and looked very satisfied, "It's very relaxing. It's even more relaxing than when I used the Hell's Lotus! Perhaps this little girl really can cure my body. "
Ye Xingtian was dazed. Then, a wave of ecstasy rose from his heart. He had never felt this way in many years.
"By the way, Xingtian, you mustn't let anyone know about this." A light flashed across Ye Lan's eyes and he smiled, "Including Xinglin!"
"Why?"
Ye Xingtian was shocked and stared at his father in confusion.
"Why can't Second Brother know?"
"Xinglin is different from you. He is far too kind and too trusting," Ye Lan replied exasperatedly, "However, all these years, many people seem to obey me on the surface but in reality, some of the old fellows in the family can no longer hold themselves back. They can't wait for my early death so that they can scheme against the Ye family! However, they have forgotten that once I die, the Ye Clan will soon perish! Therefore, I also want to take this opportunity to see a person clearly. If this matter is known by Xinglin, it will easily spread to the ears of those old fellows. "
Ye Lan sighed exasperatedly.
Nocturnal Forest was indeed not bad. The only flaw was that he was too trusting of others.
But this was also a fatal flaw!
Hence, he had asked Ye Xingtian not to tell him about this.
"Alright," Ye Xingtian nodded, "I will follow your instructions, Father. Once the family has completely cleaned up those malignant tumors, we will give Second Brother a surprise."
"Mm," Ye Lan closed his eyes tiredly. After a long pause, he opened them again, "Xingtian, you may leave now. I'm tired so I'm going to rest. Also, treat the Gu girl well. Not only is she Nuo'er's friend, she might even become the Ye family's benefactor. As for the Hell's Lotus, you don't need to send anyone to search for it."
