At this moment, Ye Yunfei had already altered his appearance and the aura of his Soul Body. Moreover, his physical form was enveloped in a layer of advanced Laws, making it impossible for ordinary people to discern his true cultivation realm and strength.
“This guy is completely unfamiliar. I’ve never seen him before. He might be some pretty boy looking for a sugar mama. He’s probably getting close to Qin Xiaoyu to worm his way into the Qin Family’s circle—a toad lusting after swan’s flesh.
Doesn’t he know Qin Xiaoyu belongs to Sima Hao? Anyone daring to touch Sima Hao’s woman doesn’t have enough lives to die with, even a hundred wouldn’t be sufficient.”
Another young man with a sneering face spoke up.
All dozen or so young men and women looked at Ye Yunfei with disdainful eyes.
“What nonsense are you spouting!
Young Master Ye is no pretty boy. He is a hundred, a thousand times stronger than you childish lot!”
Qin Xiaoyu grew a little agitated.
“Oh, Xiaoyu, getting defensive now, are you? Actually speaking up for this pretty boy? Don’t you realize the huge trouble you’ve caused?
I advise you to return to the family immediately, sincerely apologize to the Ancestor, and obediently proceed with the marriage alliance to Sima Hao.
Otherwise, not just you, but your entire branch will be implicated!”
Qin Xiaoqian said.
“If you like the alliance so much, you go marry Sima Hao!
Young Master Ye, let’s go!”
Qin Xiaoyu said angrily, then turned to leave.
Ye Yunfei didn’t even bother giving the dozen or so young people in front of him a direct glance. He simply lifted his feet and walked beside Qin Xiaoyu.
“Halt! Who said you could leave?”
Just at that moment, a man with a figure looming like an iron pagoda came striding over from the distance.
“It’s Cui Yan!
That guy is in trouble.
I heard Sima Hao once saved Cui Yan’s life. From then on, Cui Yan swore loyalty to repay the debt of life and became his most loyal follower.
That guy actually dares to be together with Sima Hao’s woman. Now that Cui Yan has run into them, this is going to be a good show.”
The group of young men and women all began gloating.
“Kid, your end has come,” one of the men said mockingly to Ye Yunfei.
“They say Cui Yan possesses a Tyrant Body Bloodline innately. Once he uses its power, his strength becomes immense. Although he’s only an Early Stage Void God now, it’s said after activating his bloodline power, even a Mid Stage Void God is no match for him.
With such fearsome combat power at a young age, he certainly can be proud among his peers.”
Someone praised.
“I’m sorry, Young Master Ye, for causing you trouble.
That Sima Hao from the Sima Family is too despicable. He actually used his family’s influence to pressure our Qin Family into an alliance, forcing me to marry him. But I don’t like him one bit—more than dislike, every time I see him I feel sick.
This Cui Yan is Sima Hao’s follower, hailing from a rather powerful sect.
Young Master Ye, let’s just go. We don’t need to bother with him.”
Qin Xiaoyu transmitted her voice to Ye Yunfei. As she spoke, she summoned her little boat.
“Young Master Ye, come aboard my flying treasure.”
Qin Xiaoyu said to Ye Yunfei.
“Are you worried I might kill him if I take action?”
Ye Yunfei stepped onto the boat in one stride and said calmly.
“Yes, Young Master Ye.
This Cui Yan is no match for you at all. But he is a core disciple of a fairly powerful sect. If you kill him, his sect will definitely come seeking revenge on his behalf. Then, because of me, you’ll draw a lot of trouble. I don’t want that.”
Qin Xiaoyu said.
“Alright then.”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
By now, Qin Xiaoyu had already activated the boat beneath her feet. With a hum, it sped rapidly toward the distant void.
“Where do you think you’re escaping?”
Cui Yan roared. Pointing a finger, a black treasure umbrella appeared out of thin air and rapidly expanded, releasing powerful spatial energy and spatial laws. Instantly, it enveloped a vast stretch of void, directly sealing it.
The boat under Qin Xiaoyu and Ye Yunfei’s feet was also affected, its speed slowing down instantly.
Cui Yan used his movement technique and caught up in a flash, blocking the path in front of the boat.
“This treasure has powerful air-restricting properties. Quite impressive!”
Hun Lao looked at the black umbrella and couldn’t help but comment.
“Indeed, this treasure is truly not bad.”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
“You dare be with Xiaoyu? You deserve death ten thousand times over!
Prepare to die!”
Cui Yan blocked the boat’s path, bellowed, then immediately attacked Ye Yunfei.
A giant golden axe appeared in his hand, continuously expanding, emitting terrifying murderous intent.
“Cui Yan, what are you doing?
Stop immediately! Who I’m with is none of your business!”
Qin Xiaoyu flew into a rage, her eyebrows raised sharply. She produced two long swords in her hands and thrust them out simultaneously, attacking Cui Yan.
*Clang! Clang!* The two swords in Qin Xiaoyu’s hands were directly repelled by Cui Yan’s giant golden axe, forced into retreat. With just one move, Qin Xiaoyu was pushed back. She felt both arms grow sore and weak, revealing a shocked expression.
“Cui Yan indeed lives up to his reputation!”
“Of course. The legendary Tyrant Body Bloodline isn’t just boasting.”
…
Seeing the strength Cui Yan displayed, the dozen or so young men and women all voiced their admiration.
“Kid, go to hell!”
After repelling Qin Xiaoyu with one move, Cui Yan, brandishing the enormous golden axe, charged towards Ye Yunfei with overwhelming killing intent.
“Don’t provoke me.”
Facing Cui Yan’s ferocious attack, Ye Yunfei didn’t give it a second thought and spoke coldly.
As he spoke, he reached out with one hand and grabbed the black treasure umbrella hovering above, taking it into his grasp. Then, flicking his sleeve, he swept Qin Xiaoyu up, utilized his movement technique, and stepped out, vanishing into the distance in an instant.
Ye Yunfei had no intention of fighting this Cui Yan. After all, there was no enmity between them.
Of course, if he encountered someone from the Guardian Faction, Ye Yunfei wouldn’t hesitate to slap them dead.
*Rumble…* Cui Yan’s giant golden axe slashed down heavily on the spot where Ye Yunfei had just been standing, directly causing that area of space to collapse and disintegrate, leaving a pitch-black spatial void.
“How is that possible?
How can his speed be so fast? Before I even realized it, he had already escaped!”
Cui Yan was a bit startled.
“How audacious! How dare you take my treasure!”
After his attack missed and he realized his black treasure umbrella had been taken, Cui Yan was both shocked and furious. He immediately gave chase after Ye Yunfei and Qin Xiaoyu.
“How is that possible? What just happened? Cui Yan’s attack was weirdly avoided by that kid and Qin Xiaoyu, and Cui Yan’s air-restricting treasure was even taken.”
The dozen or so young men and women standing nearby couldn’t quite believe it.
How swift was Ye Yunfei’s movement speed? In just a short moment, he had already shaken off Cui Yan’s pursuit.
“You two, stop! Give me back my treasure!”
Cui Yan chased until he eventually found there was no longer any trace of Ye Yunfei and Qin Xiaoyu ahead. Furiously, he roared aloud.
“Kid, just you wait! I will find you and tear you into ten thousand pieces!”
Cui Yan roared in fury.
“Qin Xiaoyu, keep drifting along. Just wait and see. Because of your actions, your branch won’t last much longer within our Qin Family.
When that time comes, my branch will develop and flourish unstoppably, and my father will have the chance to become the next Family Head!”
Qin Xiaoqian looked at Qin Xiaoyu’s receding figure and sneered.
By now, Ye Yunfei, bringing Qin Xiaoyu along, had already left that previous world cluster and emerged into the surrounding void.
“It makes me so angry, those people!”
Qin Xiaoyu thought about what had just happened, her face flushing red with anger.
“I thought I might be able to get acquainted with the Qin Family through her, but now it seems unlikely.”
Ye Yunfei thought to himself, looking at Qin Xiaoyu.
“So, what are your plans now? You’re really not going back to get married?”
Ye Yunfei asked.
“I ran away precisely because I didn’t want to be allied to Sima Hao. If I go back now, my family will definitely force me to marry him. If that’s the case, I’d rather die!”
As she reached this point, Qin Xiaoyu’s eyes suddenly turned red, looking extremely distressed.
“What about your parents? Do your parents help you?”
Ye Yunfei asked.
“My parents, of course, know I don’t want to marry Sima Hao. But they can’t help me because it was the Elder Council of our Qin Family who made the decision and facilitated this marriage alliance.
Young Master Ye, I’m not going back. I want to follow you. Please take me in.”
Qin Xiaoyu said to Ye Yunfei, appearing pitiful and helpless.
“Follow me?”
Ye Yunfei couldn’t help but frown slightly.
Ye Yunfei understood that if he continued to stay with this Qin Xiaoyu, he would simultaneously offend two major families: the Qin Family and the Sima Family.
