"Brother Duan, you haven't eaten for so long, and your body must be a little overwhelmed by eating rice... So, I made you a bowl of millet porridge."
At this time, Ye Xuan came back, placed a plate with a bowl of hot porridge on the stone table in the courtyard, and said with a smile.
"Thanks."
Duan Lingtian smelled the aroma of the porridge and moved his index finger. After sitting down in front of the stone table, he started to drink the porridge. The porridge tasted very good and was obviously cooked with care.
"Xiaoxuan, your cooking skills are good... Whoever marries you in the future will be blessed."
Duan Lingtian smiled.
However, Duan Lingtian soon discovered that his teasing words landed in Ye Xuan's ears, causing a bitter smile to appear on Ye Xuan's lips.
"Xiaoxuan, what's wrong with you? Did I say the wrong thing?"
Duan Lingtian was startled.
"No."
Ye Xuan shook her head, forced a smile on her face, and changed the subject, "By the way, Brother Duan, why did you appear in the reed field outside our Liuyun Town?"
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I don't know either."
"you do not know?"
Ye Xuan was stunned. She could see that what Duan Lingtian said was not a lie.
But what exactly did a person go through to sleep for eighteen days without any signs of injury or illness?
"Um."
Duan Lingtian nodded, then seemed to remember something, and asked: "Xiaoxuan, you said before that this is the Ye family in Liuyun Town? But I wonder if you know where the 'Canglang Castle' is?"
"Canglang Castle?"
When Ye Xuan heard this, she couldn't help being surprised, "Brother Duan, are you talking about 'Canglang Castle', one of the four major forces in the southern part of the Northern Desert?"
"The four major forces in the area south of the Northern Desert?"
Duan Lingtian was startled, and then asked out of curiosity: "The four major forces you mentioned are not Canglang Castle, Sword Sect, Yunkong Temple and Duanqing Sect, right?"
"That's right."
Ye Xuan nodded, and then asked: "Brother Duan, why are you asking about Canglang Fort? Canglang Fort is located in the south of Bei Desert, and it is the southernmost point, which is quite far from us."
"Where is this?"
Duan Lingtian had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Our Liuyun Town is located in the area east of the Northern Desert."
Ye Xuan said.
"The area east of the Northern Desert?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned, then came back to his senses, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and was secretly shocked, "Why did I come to this area east of the Northern Desert? From here to the area south of the Northern Desert, I'm afraid it's a long way. distance?"
"With my current strength, I will set out from here to the area south of the Northern Desert. Going to the 'Sword Gate' will definitely encounter danger... leaving alone. The risk is very high."
Thinking about it later, Duan Lingtian felt quite helpless.
"It seems that if you want to go to Sword Sect, you still have to find another way."
Duan Lingtian said secretly.
"Miss!"
At this moment, a voice came from outside the courtyard, "The master heard that the young master you rescued has woken up, and asked you to take the young master to see him."
"Dad, what is he going to do?"
Ye Xuan frowned, seemingly reluctant.
"Xiaoxuan, I didn't expect that you are still the daughter of the Ye family... Speaking of which, I have been harassing you and the Ye family for a while, so please take me to meet the head of the Ye family."
Duan Lingtian smiled.
Since Duan Lingtian said so, Ye Xuan naturally had no reason to refuse. She greeted Duan Lingtian and went to the Ye family hall.
In the main hall of the Ye family, the head of the Ye family, 'Ye Ting', is sitting at the top.
Ye Ting is about fifty years old and ordinary-looking. But his eyebrows were calm and dignified, with the majesty of a superior person.
Sitting in a position at the bottom was a middle-aged man in his forties.
The outline of this middle-aged man's face is somewhat similar to Ye Ting's, but there is a hint of gloom and ruthlessness between his brows, which makes him obviously not an ordinary person.
This person is none other than Ye Hui, the third elder of the Ye family. He is also Ye Ting’s half-brother.
"Brother, I didn't mean to say Xiaoxuan... You said, Xiaoxuan, a yellow-flowered girl, brought a man into her small courtyard. If this matter spread to the Shen family, would the Shen family let it go? ?”
Ye Hui said in a deep voice.
"well."
Ye Ting sighed. "That girl Xiaoxuan, like her mother, is kind-hearted and has no scheming... This time, she did it a bit ill-advisedly. However, I heard that the man has been sleeping in bed for eighteen days. Just today When you wake up, nothing should happen between you and Xiaoxuan."
"Besides, I believe Xiaoxuan will not do anything she shouldn't do."
Ye Ting added another sentence.
"I also want to believe Xiaoxuan, but once this matter gets out, what will outsiders think? By then, won't the Shen family tear down our Ye family?"
Ye Hui's face darkened when he said it later, "So, brother... Xiaoxuan will bring that kid here in a while. I will tell him to get out, but you must not help him."
"Sigh... I know how to do it. However, he is the person brought back by Xiaoxuan after all. No matter what you do, you must give Xiaoxuan some face."
Ye Ting sighed.
"I see."
Ye Hui nodded.
Duan Lingtian followed Ye Xuan, passing through the Ye family's mansion, and finally arrived at the Ye family's main hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, Duan Lingtian noticed that two eyes were locked on him immediately, one of which was kind and polite.
Another look was not only sharp, but also unscrupulous.
Duan Lingtian's face darkened slightly, he raised his head and looked at the owner of the gaze behind him, Ye Hui, who was sitting at the head of the palace, without any fear.
Spiritual power swept out, and Duan Lingtian immediately detected this person's cultivation level, the first level of the Cave Void Realm.
"father."
After Ye Xuan walked into the hall, she bowed and bowed to Ye Ting, who was sitting at the front seat. Then she glanced at Ye Hui, who was sitting at the bottom, and said, "Second uncle."
"snort!"
Ye Hui snorted coldly. This cold snort was aimed at both Duan Lingtian and Ye Xuan.
"Xiaoxuan, you are becoming less and less polite now... Originally, I didn't know what was going on. But now it seems that the problem is with the people you know around you. If you don't learn from the good ones, you will learn from the bad ones. That's not a good habit. When we get to the Shen family in the future, won't we make people laugh at our Ye family for not having a tutor?"
Ye Hui glanced at Duan Lingtian coldly, then looked at Ye Xuan and said angrily.
"Second uncle!"
Ye Xuan's face changed slightly and she looked at Ye Hui. He said in a deep voice: "My friend has not offended you, right? Why do you say anything about him? Also, I have already said that I will not marry that playboy from the Shen family. If you want to marry him, you can marry him yourself!"
"you you……"
Ye Hui was so angry that his face was livid, and then he looked at Ye Ting, "Brother, look at it. Look at it...this is your good daughter!"
"Xiaoxuan!"
Ye Ting frowned and scolded: "How can you talk to your second uncle like this?"
"Second uncle?"
Ye Xuan smiled. He smiled sarcastically, "I thought he was my second uncle, but did he think I was his niece? In order to flatter the Shen family, to have a relationship with the Shen family, and for his own benefit, he sold me behind his back... I don’t have a second uncle like him!”
After talking about it, Ye Xuan looked determined.
Ye Xuan's hysterical words not only frightened Ye Ting and Ye Hui, but also Duan Lingtian. Is this still the gentle and watery Xiaoxuan?
However, from Ye Xuan's words, Duan Lingtian probably understood the conflict between Ye Xuan and her second uncle.
"No wonder when I told Xiaoxuan earlier that whoever marries her would be lucky, her face looked a little wrong... It turned out that her second uncle made a marriage contract behind her back and was forced to marry a playboy."
Duan Lingtian has always been very thoughtful and could easily guess the whole story.
"Brother. It seems that Xiaoxuan has a lot of opinions on me... I really want to ask you to comment on this matter. Am I doing this for the sake of the overall situation? Marrying with the Shen family is very important to our Ye family. , only benefits. No downsides.”
Ye Hui looked at Ye Ting and said slowly.
"Xiaoxuan, you..."
Just when Ye Ting was still about to scold Ye Xuan, Duan Lingtian took a few steps forward, stood in front of Ye Xuan, looked at Ye Ting, and interrupted Ye Ting. "Duan Lingtian has met Master Ye."
"snort!"
Ye Hui on the side snorted coldly and murmured to himself: "Don't you know that interrupting someone's speech is a very rude thing? How could Xiaoxuan know this kind of trash!"
Although Ye Hui did not say this to Duan Lingtian, he was obviously talking about Duan Lingtian.
Rubbish?
After hearing Ye Hui's words, Duan Lingtian's face darkened slightly, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
At the same time, Duan Lingtian only felt a little irritable, and the energy in his body was also a little restless, and the idea of killing Ye Hui arose in his heart for no reason.
Moreover, this thought is getting stronger and stronger, as if it is constantly driving Duan Lingtian to control Duan Lingtian's emotions.
For a moment, Duan Lingtian was startled and broke into a cold sweat.
After taking a deep breath, the restless mood calmed down. At the same time, I was secretly shocked, "When did I become so irritable? I feel like my emotions are somewhat out of my control..."
"It seems that the dream is indeed true! And my emotions must have been affected by the 'Devil-Sealing Monument', and it has left behind sequelae."
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but think that in that dream, he seemed to be only filled with bloodthirsty and violent emotions, which completely suppressed his normal emotions.
Therefore, he could almost conclude that it was the 'sequelae' left behind after the 'Devil-Sealing Monument' gave him powerful power and killed everyone.
"I thought that with the 'Devil-Sealing Monument', if I encountered danger in the future, it would give me power anytime, anywhere, and I could use the power it gave me to remove all obstacles!"
"But now it seems that things are not that simple... While the Demon Sealing Monument helped me, it also left wounds and flaws in my soul, making my emotions beyond my control."
"Perhaps, if what happened in a dream happens again, my emotions will become even more out of control, and in the end I will be unable to control myself, making me a real 'demon'!"
Thinking of this, Duan Lingtian felt a lingering fear in his heart.
Sure enough, using some powerful power that does not belong to oneself requires paying a price. There is no free lunch in the world. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
