On our wedding day, I castrated my fiancée's white moonlight.

"Grandpa, don't touch that dry well for now, wait for me to come back."

"You're coming back? Okay."

Ye Fu's heart stirred.

Ye Fan's personal return must mean something extraordinary.

After agreeing, he put away the teleportation talisman and immediately ordered the back mountain of the Ye family to be temporarily sealed off, forbidding any clansman from entering.

The treasure left by his master is extraordinary. Once the treasure door is opened and it is replicated using the Heaven and Earth Furnace, he can greatly enhance his own and others' strength, and better protect himself.

Ye Fan made a quick decision and decided to return to the Ye family immediately.

That evening, he summoned Consort Xiao Rong, Consort Xiao Ya, Sai Luoli, Hua Nongyue, Hua Nongyu, and others.

"Xiao Fan, are you leaving the Divine City?"

Consort Xiao's beautiful eyes held a hint of worry: "At this critical juncture, the Wang family, the Crimson Merchant Guild, and those five major merchant guilds are probably watching you like mad dogs. It's too dangerous for you to go out alone!"

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Consort Rong, I have a plan."

"While I'm away, your activities will be confined to the World's Number One Auction House. Don't go out unless absolutely necessary!"

"And don't get into conflict with anyone! The Divine City has the rules of the Holy Land; they wouldn't dare to act recklessly!"

"good!"

Consort Xiao Rong and Consort Xiao Ya nodded.

He then looked at Wang Danian: "I've bought the winery next door and will use it as the base for the Aotian Gang. Without my orders, everyone must practice martial arts within the gang and is not allowed to go anywhere!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Danian thumped his chest loudly: "Your Highness, rest assured! They've already been fooled once; they definitely won't do it again!"

"Even a fly would have to ask the thing in my hand for permission first!"

After everything was arranged.

Late that night, Ye Fan mingled with a caravan leaving the city and quietly slipped out.

After confirming that no one was following them, they arrived at a secluded mountain forest.

Summoning the Azure Phoenix, it transforms into a streak of light and soars into the sky.

……

The reclusive Ye family.

Ye Chen noticed that the atmosphere in the family had been a bit strange these past two days.

Grandpa and his father suddenly designated the back mountain of the Ye family as a forbidden area, prohibiting anyone from stepping into it.

"There's clearly nothing there on that hillside, so how did it suddenly become a forbidden area?"

Ye Chen was puzzled, so he tried to subtly ask his grandfather, but his grandfather refused to say anything.

At last.

Ye Chen found his father, Ye Zhendong, and after much pleading and cajoling, he was shocked to discover that the order was actually requested by Ye Fan!

"Father, is Ye Fan coming back?"

"Yes! That kid Xiao Fan, tsk tsk... I really misjudged him back then!" Ye Zhendong said with a smile, but suddenly his expression turned serious as he ordered, "Don't tell anyone. We'll talk about it when Xiao Fan comes back."

"It's Ye Fan again! It's him again!"

Jealousy burned within Ye Chen.

He was Ye Zhendong's eldest son and Ye Fu's eldest grandson.

The name "Chen" was chosen because it represents the dragon, signifying that Ye Chen would be the future dragon of the Ye family! However, since Ye Fan appeared, all his brilliance has been overshadowed!

During this time, Grandpa and Dad would beam with joy whenever they mentioned Ye Fan's name.

The Ye family also received a large number of precious pills, and even Ye Fan's usually arrogant cousin, Ye Weini, praised him highly!

Ye Chen was practically invisible in the Ye family!

He was already consumed by jealousy!

"He's clearly a good-for-nothing, so why does he insist on rising to power? For the past ten years or so, in the eyes of everyone in the Ye family, Ye Fan has been a bastard! A jinx who brought disaster to the Ye family, why has he suddenly become like this?"

"The Great Xia's Northern King! The head of the world's premier auction house! The true emperor behind the Great Xia..."

Ye Chen's mind was filled with the titles that other members of the Ye family, around the same age, used to refer to Ye Fan.

"Ye Fan! You deserve to die!"

"Only when you die can the light of Ye Chen be seen by others!"

Ye Chen gritted his teeth.

Finding a secluded corner, he took out a teleportation talisman and infused it with his inner energy.

A gloomy voice soon came from the opposite side.

"Ye Chen, what's your decision?"

The owner of the voice was none other than Wang Xiao, the father of Wang Yuan from the Wang family of Zhongzhou!

Wang Xiao had already found out the location of the reclusive Ye family, but he didn't take action! Killing all the old, weak, sick, and disabled would not alleviate his grief over losing his son! What he was waiting for was Ye Fan!

Wang Xiao's people have studied Ye Chen!

This person is all talk and no action; he's not very useful.

But he just so happens to be Ye Zhendong's eldest son and the Ye family's eldest grandson!

This kind of person must be jealous of Ye Fan!

The thought of betraying the Ye family made Ye Chen's hand, holding the communication talisman, tremble slightly: "Senior Wang... does your previous promise still stand?"

Wang Xiao chuckled: "Of course it counts! The word of the Wang family of Zhongzhou is as good as gold."

"My father lost a bet with Ye Fan on stones, and even killed his own son in public. Do you think I would break my promise?"

"Moreover, our Wang family's only target is Ye Fan!"

"Once he dies, my Wang family of Zhongzhou will fully support you, making the Ye family the number one martial arts family in the East, and you will be the sole master of this family!"

"The head of the Ye family... the number one in the East..."

Ye Chen's eyes burned with desire; his hesitation was completely replaced by greed!

He gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Fine! I'll tell you! Ye Fan... he's going back to the Ye family!"

"When?"

Wang Xiao's voice suddenly rose, filled with barely suppressed ecstasy!

Ye Chen said, "It will be within the next two days, but I don't know the exact time!"

"Just bring your people here, and I'll contact you later."

"good!"

The two ended their telepathic communication.

Wang Xiao immediately sent people to investigate.

Sure enough, it was discovered that the number one auction house in the world in the divine city had been unusually low-key these past two days, which was completely unlike Ye Fan's usual style!

At first, Wang Xiao thought Ye Fan was preparing for the once-every-five-years Chamber of Commerce Competition in Shencheng, which would take place in half a month.

Now it seems that the kid really isn't in the Divine City!

"Hahaha! Good! Great!"

Upon receiving the news, Wang Xiao clenched his fist in excitement.

"Pass on my order! Assemble all my retainers and elders! Target: the reclusive Ye family of the Eastern Lands!"

"Ye Fan! This time, let's see how you escape!"

"I will make you watch your family be destroyed, and then I will make you suffer endless pain as you are buried with my son!"

……

Ye Fan traveled continuously and finally arrived at the reclusive Ye family five days later.

"grandfather!"

Ye Fu and the others had been waiting for a long time.

They saw Ye Fan riding a blue phoenix, descending from the sky.

Ye Fu, Ye Zhendong, Ye Zhenxi, Ye Zhennan, Ye Weini... and a group of elders and younger members of the Ye family all stepped forward laughing, making it even more lively than the New Year.

"Xiao Fan, you're back!"

"Hahaha! Come on in, come on in!"

"You must be exhausted from traveling day and night these past few days!"

"We've heard news from Zhongzhou! You're quite something, kid! You've actually stirred up some trouble in Zhongzhou's Divine City. You've really brought honor to the Ye family!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Ye Fan is the center of attention!

Ye Chen stood in the corner, head down, his face terribly gloomy.

After everyone welcomed Ye Fan into the Ye family compound, Ye Chen quietly left, taking out a long-distance communication talisman: "Ye Fan, we've arrived!"
