"Young Master Ye Yunfei, Xiao Yue is awake!"
Hongmei exclaimed, a mix of shock and delight.
"Young Master, you're finally back! Young Master, there were so many bad people, they rushed into our Ye Family home, killing everywhere!" Xiao Yue cried out upon seeing Ye Yunfei, both startled and overjoyed.
Her pale little face had already started to slowly regain its rosy color.
"Xiao Yue, don't worry, all those bad people have been captured by me," Ye Yunfei said with a smile, relieved to see Xiao Yue was alright.
"Hongmei, continue taking care of Xiao Yue. Also, from now on, you'll stay by Xiao Yue's side here with me," Ye Yunfei stated.
"Thank you, Young Master Ye Yunfei!" Upon hearing this, Hongmei was extremely excited and immediately knelt before him.
After all, Ye Yunfei was now the most prominent figure in the entire Ye Family. His status in the eyes of the clan members had even surpassed that of Ye Tianpeng!
Hongmei knew that being able to stay by Ye Yunfei's side was akin to ascending to heaven in a single step.
From this point on, not only would the servants of the Ye Residence and ordinary clansmen view her differently, but likely even the Ye Family's Elders and Patriarch would treat her with renewed respect!
"Alright, get up. I don't care for such formalities," Ye Yunfei waved dismissively.
"Xiao Yue, focus on recovering," Ye Yunfei said with a smile to Xiao Yue before turning and leaving the room.
"Father, have these healing Spirit Pills distributed immediately to our injured clansmen," Ye Yunfei found Ye Tianpeng and handed him a large batch of pills.
"Yunfei, where did all these Spirit Pills come from…" Ye Tianpeng stared at the pills, utterly dumbfounded.
"Father, don't worry about that now. Hurry and ensure the injured clansmen take them," Ye Yunfei urged.
"Alright," Ye Tianpeng forced a bitter smile, refrained from further questions, and went to distribute the pills.
He realized he could no longer fully understand his son. This son of his was too monstrous!
After consuming Ye Yunfei's Spirit Pills, those Ye Family clansmen who were severely wounded or unconscious began to recover one by one.
It was important to note that this time, all the pills Ye Yunfei had concocted were Fourth-Grade Healing Spirit Pills.
Their medicinal efficacy was naturally extraordinary. Even those hovering at death's door could be saved!
Ye Tianpeng and the several Elders began reorganizing the Ye Family forces.
A few days later.
The Ye Family began returning to normal.
Though they had lost some clansmen during the incident, the overall damage was not catastrophic.
Soon, the Ye Family became once more the strongest clan in Yuanyue City!
Watching the gradually recovering Ye Family, Ye Yunfei finally let out a sigh of relief.
"We won't have true safety until the Imperial City Li Family is destroyed," Ye Yunfei's gaze looked out far in the direction of the Imperial City, with palpable killing intent surging in his eyes.
"At that time, I agreed with the Third Prince that I would go to the Imperial City to attend the Alchemy Grand Competition one month later. Counting now, there are roughly about ten days left until the agreed date. Traveling from Yuanyue City to the Imperial City takes at least five or six days. So, it's about time for me to set off for the Imperial City."
Ye Yunfei murmured to himself.
Given his personality, once he had promised the Third Prince, he would not break his word.
Besides, Ye Yunfei also had to settle scores with the Li Family in the Imperial City!
However, what Ye Yunfei worried about most was the safety of his family.
What if a similar event occurred again after he left Yuanyue City?
Ye Yunfei knew he had made quite a few enemies: the Imperial City Li Family, the Master of the Xiaoyao Pavilion, Elder Ding, Qin An, the Third Young Master Xiao Wuhen of the current Prime Minister Xiao, and even that Proprietor Luo from the Lingzhen Pavilion in Yuanyue City.
Any single one of them was more than the Ye Family could handle. After all, the current Ye Family was far too weak. A single Heaven Realm expert could easily overpower them.
In his past life, Ye Yunfei had suffered the tragedy of having his family destroyed and his father killed. In this life, he did not wish to endure the same ordeal.
"Originally, I could set up a large-scale defensive Formation within the Ye Residence to protect it. If the power of that Formation were equivalent to the might of a Profound Realm martial artist, then within the entire Great Qin Empire, no one would be able to touch the Ye Family."
Ye Yunfei pondered.
As a Heavenly Emperor, he possessed significant attainments in the study of Formations. Even legendary incomplete Deity-level Formations were subjects he had researched!
"However, the amount of materials required to arrange a Formation with power equivalent to a Profound Realm martial artist is immense. Moreover, Yuanyue City definitely lacks such precious Formation materials. Therefore, this method is temporarily unfeasible."
Ye Yunfei frowned.
After thinking for a long time.
Ye Yunfei went to find Elder Du.
"Elder Du, I would like the members of my Ye Family to reside at the Tianyuan Sect Headquarters for a period of time," Ye Yunfei stated directly.
"Have the Ye Family members live at the Tianyuan Sect Headquarters for a while?" Elder Du was taken aback by Ye Yunfei's words.
"That's right. Next, I intend to travel to the Imperial City. I am concerned about the Ye Family's safety once I leave," Ye Yunfei explained the reason.
"Yunfei, I'm afraid I'll have to request instructions from Elder Ren and the Sect Master regarding this matter. As you know, I don't have the final say within the Tianyuan Sect," Elder Du hesitated for a moment before replying.
"Very well," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"I'll send a message via carrier pigeon right now," Elder Du said before turning to send the message.
Half a day later.
"Yunfei, good news, both Elder Ren and the Sect Master have agreed," Elder Du excitedly came to find Ye Yunfei and informed him.
"Elder Du, I owe the Tianyuan Sect a favor. This favor, I will repay," Ye Yunfei said gratefully.
Within his heart, Ye Yunfei made a decision: he would assist the Tianyuan Sect in rising to become a powerful and influential major sect—not just within the Great Qin Empire, but one that commanded awe throughout the entire Eastern Region!
"No need to talk about favors. Elders Ren and the Sect Master treat you like a treasure now; you are the hope of our Tianyuan Sect's rise," Elder Du said with a laugh.
"Elder Du, please inform Elder Ren and the Sect Master upon your return and tell them to rest assured. I will ensure the Tianyuan Sect rises," Ye Yunfei declared.
Next, Ye Yunfei immediately went to find Ye Tianpeng and the Elders to discuss the matter.
"Have all the members of our Ye Family go live at the Tianyuan Sect Headquarters for a while?" Ye Tianpeng and the Ye Family's several Elders were stunned when they heard Ye Yunfei's proposal.
After all, the Ye Family possessed numerous businesses in Yuanyue City and surrounding towns, generating considerable daily profits.
Should the entire clan leave, these profits would likely cease.
Nevertheless, after much persuasion from Ye Yunfei, both Ye Tianpeng and the Elders ultimately agreed.
Thus, Ye Tianpeng ordered all clansmen to begin packing their belongings in preparation for departure.
One day later.
Finally, all members of the Ye Family had made their preparations.
"Elder Du, I'll have to trouble you to look after my family for a period of time. These ten Fifth-Grade Spirit Pills are my gift to the Tianyuan Sect as compensation for taking care of my kin."
Ye Yunfei took out ten Fifth-Grade Spirit Pills and handed them to Elder Du.
"Ten... ten Fifth-Grade Spirit Pills?!"
Looking at the pills Ye Yunfei proffered, Elder Du was immediately stunned, his eyes widening larger than ox balls, his mind buzzing, his face a picture of utter disbelief.
It must be known, within the Tianyuan Sect, the most precious Spirit Pills stored were only of the Fourth Grade.
As for Fifth-Grade Spirit Pills? The Tianyuan Sect did not possess a single one!
Now, for Ye Yunfei to suddenly produce ten Fifth-Grade Spirit Pills, how could Elder Du possibly accept this? This was simply too absurd!
