Xiao Yumei
At Ye Zichen's signal, the yao servants in the Yao-Sealing Pagoda made way for them. No one stopped the Xiao Family.
As he left, Xiao Ting's eyes were dark and gloomy. No matter how calm he appeared, he couldn't help it.
No matter how calm he appeared, he couldn't deny that they'd suffered quite a bit during their mission to capture Xiao Yan, Xiao Hu, and the others.
That wasn't because of how badly they'd been injured or the price they'd paid.
Face!
Most importantly, they'd lost face.
They'd failed to capture them, yet they'd had to leave with their tails between their legs.
The Lightning Emperor's Estate, which had always stood at the peak of the Divine Mountains, had lost a great deal of face.
"You're letting them go, just like that?"
Asked Yang Jian darkly as he watched Xiao Ting and the others leave.
Ye Zichen nodded noncommittally. When they'd all disappeared from the courtyard, he took a deep breath, then turned to the veiled woman.
"Yumei?"
Everyone in the hall looked at the veiled woman. They knew that she'd spoken, which was why Ye Zichen had overturned his decision and let Xiao Ting go without hesitation.
By the veiled woman's side, Xiao Yan's expression shifted as well. He looked Ye Zichen up and down.
Ye Zichen called out to her, and the veiled woman took off her veil.
Her familiar, pretty face lit up with a warm smile.
"Did you miss me?"
"What do you think?"
Ye Zichen chuckled. Xiao Yumei smiled back warmly, then hugged him tightly.
The instant she entered his arms, her smile transformed into boiling hot tears that dripped onto Ye Zichen's shoulders like scorching pearls.
"I missed you so much."
"Me too."
When she saw Xiao Yumei, Pu Jingwan, who was holding An Lu's hand, subconsciously compared her to herself. She'd always been so proud of her looks, but in front of Xiao Yumei, she couldn't help but compare them.
Of course, that didn't mean she was inferior to Xiao Yumei. She was merely on par with her.
When Yang Jian saw her, he froze.
Xiao Yumei.
Of course he knew her!
Furthermore, when Chang 'e disappeared from the Moon Palace all those years ago, he'd heard she'd disappeared with Xiao Yumei.
He waited silently on the side, then walked up the moment Ye Zichen and Xiao Yumei separated.
"Is Chang 'e also on the Divine Mountain?"
Xiao Yumei was stunned. In the past, Yang Jian had always been dressed like a normal immortal from the Heavenly Palace. Now that she saw him in Hawaiian attire, she couldn't immediately recognize him.
"I am Yang Jian!"
Yang Jian pointed at his nose. Only then did Xiao Yumei come back to her senses.
"Oh you, Chang 'e isn't here. She went back to the Sorcerer Tribe."
The Magi were a race that did not belong to any of the Three Realms. Like the Buddhist Realm, they were a hidden race.
Compared to the Three Realms of God, Yao, and Demon, they had far fewer clansmen. Any one of the Twelve Great Shamans was at least an Emperor-level expert in the outside world.
Its status was extraordinary, and although it couldn't be compared to the outer realms, it wasn't much different.
Yang Jian and Ye Zichen couldn't help but find it strange that Chang 'e was related to the Shamans.
But soon, they thought of a possibility.
Hou Yi.
When he considered this, Yang Jian looked at Ye Zichen, his gaze somewhat strange.
Everyone knew that before Chang 'e arrived at the Moon Palace, she was Hou Yi's darling. However, when they were fighting over the Celestial Medicine, Chang' e ate both Celestial Pills, causing Hou Yi to be unable to ascend to the Heavenly Palace.
If Chang 'e had returned to the Shamans because of Hou Yi, then Ye Zichen and Chang' e's recent ambiguous relationship …
That seemed a bit troublesome.
Little did they know, Ye Zichen was also feeling a headache coming on. Earlier, when they'd tied the marriage strings, he'd been worried about Hou Yi.
Could it be that what was supposed to come had finally come?
Xiao Yumei looked at Yang Jian and Ye Zichen, who were staring at each other. They covered their mouths and chuckled. Given her intelligence, she could roughly guess what they were thinking.
However, she didn't point it out. Instead, she smiled and walked up to Xiao Yan.
"Let me introduce you. This is my little brother, Xiao Yan."
Xiao Yan!
Everyone was stunned, especially Ye Zichen. When Xiao Ting first arrived, he'd clearly said that his good-for-nothing son had come to visit him.
At that time, he really didn't know about it and felt that he was purposely looking for trouble.
This Xiao Yan …
It seemed he was Xiao Ting's son.
That didn't matter. What mattered was how she addressed him.
Younger brother.
Didn't that mean she was also a member of the Lightning Emperor's Xiao Family? Moreover, she was Xiao Ting's daughter?
"Don't overthink things. I've had nothing to do with Xiao Ting for a long time. Shouldn't you know who I am the best? " Xiao Yumei smiled warmly and voiced Ye Zichen's confusion. Then she introduced him to Xiao Yan. "This is your brother-in-law. Call him brother-in-law."
In truth, Xiao Yan was more or less unwilling.
Just who was this fellow standing in front of him? He would recognize him even if he turned into ashes.
Back then, the Xiao Family of the Lightning Emperor had overturned the rules of thunder and lightning multiple times for him. They had refused to allow him to ascend the Divine Mountain, but they had still allowed him to.
Furthermore, he was the one who'd targeted the Xiao Family multiple times. The ones who'd died at his hands were all Xiao Yan's trusted aides.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and call for help!" Xiao Yumei said angrily.
Although he didn't like the look of Ye Zichen, with Xiao Yumei present, he couldn't insist. Besides, when he faced Xiao Ting just now, he'd personally witnessed Ye Zichen's terrifying strength.
The Yao-Sealing Pagoda and the Xuan-Yuan Sword!
They could rival a holy land's ruler experts in numbers.
Xiao Yan had no choice but to admit this sort of person was worthy of his sister.
"Brother-in-law."
Ye Zichen reluctantly lowered his head. In truth, his face was covered in a bitter smile. The Xiao Family clansmen he'd wanted so badly to deal with had actually become relatives.
But that wasn't exactly …
Judging from Xiao Ting's attitude just now, there seemed to be some sort of grudge between him and Xiao Yumei and Xiao Yan.
"Mm." Ye Zichen nodded, then turned to Wei Jie. "Arrange a room for Xiao Yan and the others."
"You should prepare more," said Xiao Yumei.
"What is it?"
"We have about three hundred people on our side. They're all staying at the inn right now."
Ye Zichen's expression shifted, then he looked at Wei Jie.
"Do we have enough rooms?"
"It's enough, but when our people come up later …" Wei Jie wanted to say something but hesitated.
"When the time comes, I'll think of something. You go make the arrangements."
At the end of the day, the location of the house was too small. Wei Jie had found a house that could only be described as a residence for a wealthy merchant.
If you really wanted to view it as the foundation of a faction, it was too small.
Wei Jie nodded and went to make the arrangements, but Ye Zichen suddenly thought of something and called out to him.
