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

In that instant, Xiao Yafei's heart was filled with turmoil: 'What did Ye Jueyun say to Xiao Fan? Did he reveal everything?'

Her pupils contracted, and an unnatural look flashed across her pretty face.

Quickly regain calm.

"Little brother, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Your father sacrificed his life for the country! Do you really believe just because someone says a few random things?"

"Don't we wish Father hadn't died even more than you do?"

Ye Fan frowned; his intuition told him that Sister Ya Fei wasn't telling the truth.

Knowing that further questioning would likely be ineffective, I could only change the subject: "Sister Yafei, what is this hidden family that Ye Jueyun mentioned?"

"Why does he claim to be my cousin? And say he's been monitoring me for five years? Who's been monitoring me?"

"Why are you spying on me again? He seemed really excited after he found out I could practice martial arts!"

"And you even said that since I can cultivate martial arts, you don't need an excuse to kill me!"

He finished speaking in one breath, staring at Xiao Yafei, waiting for her explanation!

Xiao Yafei was about to speak.

Ye Fan said, "Sister Ya Fei, don't lie to me twice in one day!"

Xiao Yafei was stunned: "Did Xiao Fan realize I was lying to him?"

She forced a smile, pulled Ye Fan into her arms, and smelled a faint, pleasant scent of soap. When Ye Fan was little, he was afraid of thunder, and it was Xiao Yafei who would sneak into his bed, hold him like this, and gently pat his back as he slept.

This same woman was imprisoned in a death row in his previous life!

He led a group of experts to break into the prison, but they were blown up by explosives and died!

"Okay, I won't lie to you."

"Young brother, this world is not as simple as it seems on the surface! Besides ordinary people, there are also martial arts practitioners whose physical strength and lifespan far exceed those of ordinary people."

Ye Fan replied, "I know that."

Xiao Yafei smiled slightly: "Then I'll tell you something you don't know."

"These powerful martial artists look down on ordinary mortals! Some top-tier martial artists can decide the life and death of an ordinary mortal family with a single word! They can even influence the deposition and enthronement of an emperor in an empire."

Ye Fan's brow twitched: "That strong? The Mortal Empire routinely has hundreds of thousands of troops!"

"There are many martial artists in the army, but no matter how powerful a martial artist is, it's impossible for one to fight against hundreds of thousands of soldiers, right?"

Xiao Yafei remained silent for a moment.

A few seconds later, he said, "In short, remember one thing!"

"Those reclusive families, or sacred sects, even my number one manor in the world cannot shake them!"

Ye Fan looked up: "Don't worry, Sister Ya Fei, it'll happen sooner or later!"

"I will make your number one manor in the world, encompassing hidden families and sacred sects!"

"I will protect you!"

In that instant, Xiao Yafei suddenly felt that Ye Fan had grown up.

The youthful spirit is forever filled with fearlessness and a drive to move forward!

Xiao Yafei chuckled: "Really? Then I'll be waiting for you."

"Where is my father? Is he from Ye Jueyun's reclusive family?" Ye Fan asked.

Xiao Yafei pondered for a few seconds and nodded, saying, "Yes, but I know very little about that family either."

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she said with a serious expression, "Little brother! If you encounter that Ye family member again in the future, never reveal that you can cultivate martial arts!"

"At least, don't reveal yourself until you reach the Martial King realm!"

Why?

Promise me!

Xiao Yafei didn't explain, staring at Ye Fan with extreme seriousness. After a dozen breaths, seeing that Ye Fan still hadn't agreed, a pleading look even flashed in her eyes.

"it is good."

Seeing that Ye Fan agreed, Xiao Yafei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, the young woman's voice came from outside the carriage: "Master, we have a lead."

"This item was found on the assassin who tried to kill the young master."

A slender hand reached into the carriage, holding a golden token with the words "Imperial Palace" written on it.

"The assassin came from the palace? Was it Li Fuyuan?" Consort Xiao's expression was serious.

A cold smile curled at the corner of Ye Fan's mouth!

On the way back to the city, Wang Danian arrived with his men.

When Xiao Yafei arrived, Wang Danian also brought his men. On the way, she arranged for Tang Miaoyi to be sent back to the Tang Clan branch. They should have completed their mission by now.

"Wang Danian, how is Miss Tang's injury? If it's serious, have the Duke's doctor go and take a look," Ye Fan said.

Wang Danian's expression was somewhat unnatural, and he stammered, as if he was trying to cover something up.

"What? Something happened?"

"Your Highness, this is a matter for the Tang Clan themselves, so please don't ask."

"Something really happened? Tell me! What exactly happened?" Ye Fan shouted, and a powerful aura emanated from him, making him seem like a completely different person from the previous good-for-nothing playboy.

In an instant, Wang Danian knelt down on one knee: "Your Highness, when we escorted Miss Tang back to the Tang Clan branch, the people from the Tang Clan headquarters had been waiting for a long time."

"They say that Miss Tang seems to have stolen something from the Tang Clan headquarters, and they want to interrogate her overnight."

"The Sixth Prince was also present, so we dared not interfere and came to fetch you instead."

……

The Great Xia Dragon Capital, Zhuque Avenue, Tang Clan Branch.

At the head of the main hall sat two elderly men in brocade robes!

It was the Eighth Elder and Ninth Elder of the Tang Clan's main branch. Apart from them, all the members of the Tang Clan's branch in Longdu, Daxia, were present and stood on both sides of the main hall.

The sixth prince, Li Youran, sat in the guest seat.

Tang Miaoyi was covered in blood, kneeling in the center of the hall. Her ten fingers were fixed in place with clamps, and an iron nail was stuck in each fingernail. Blood kept gushing out, and the pain almost made Tang Miaoyi faint, but she still gritted her teeth.

Not a single word!

"Sister Miaoyi, hand over the blueprints, and the two elders will surely treat you leniently!"

"Why are you so stubborn? You were kicked out of the family for stealing secrets!"

"You've already stolen once, are you planning to steal twice?"

A young man shook his head with amusement in front of Tang Miaoyi.

Tang Qi is Tang Miaoyi's cousin.

"I didn't steal family secrets!"

"The blueprints you're talking about belong to Ye Fan, the Prince of Zhenbei!"

Tang Miaoyi gritted her teeth.

Tang Qi chuckled, "Really? Old Liu! Tell me!"

An old man, hunched over, slowly emerged from the crowd: "The blueprints... the blueprints were stolen from the family by Miss. She also said that this is the latest weapon developed by our Tang Clan."

"She even sold it for a high price to that good-for-nothing playboy, the Prince of Zhenbei..."

With that, Elder Liu knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Eighth and Ninth Elders: "Elders, I'm sorry! Miss forced us to do all this!"

"We don't want this either... We have wives and children; if we don't help her, she'll kill them..."

Tang Miaoyi understood instantly.

Old Liu has been threatened!

"Tang Qi, you're shameless!"

"Tang Miaoyi, you stole the Tang Clan's confidential blueprints and you still dare to call me shameless? I think you've completely given up on these hands!" Tang Qi gave the order.

The clamp retracts!

"ah--!"

In the main hall's guest section, Li Youran sat there coldly: "Ye Fan! You dare touch my woman? I'll make sure every woman connected to you is tortured to death!"
