Yun Sheng watched as the master and disciple left, with a complex look in his eyes.
He let out a soft sigh, then turned and walked to the backyard.
"Master."
Seeing this, several maids bowed down.
"Where is my daughter?" Yun Sheng asked.
"The young miss is inside," a maid replied.
Yun Sheng nodded, then pushed open the door and entered the room.
Inside the room sat a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old. Although she was young, she had developed well, with an exquisite and charming face. In a few more years she would likely become a great beauty who could bring down nations.
However, her eyes were red and swollen, and she didn't say a word.
"Mengtian, I'm surprised that the boy and his master you told me about really came," said Yun Sheng with a sigh as he looked at his daughter.
Hearing this, Yun Mengtian's body trembled. She looked sharply at Yun Sheng and hurriedly asked, "How could he really have come? Didn't I specifically ask Auntie to try to stop him? How could he have really come?"
As she spoke, Yun Mengtian's pretty face turned deathly pale, and she said in a panic, "What should we do, Father? Will he get dragged into this?"
For a time, Yun Mengtian became more and more anxious, almost crying from anxiety.
"I really shouldn't have provoked him back then. I knew that I was already mired deeply in this quagmire and that we couldn't be together, yet I still provoked him. I really shouldn't have..."
Seeing her state, Yun Sheng felt awful. He hurried to explain, "It's my fault for not being able to protect you. But don't worry, I've already driven them out of here."
"That's good, that's good..."
Hearing this, Yun Mengtian finally calmed down a bit.
Yun Sheng sighed feelingly and said, "But I could see that the master and disciple were sincere. With ordinary human bodies, they traveled thousands of miles from Pingjiang City to get here, and offered a betrothal gift of 500,000 gold coins. Such devotion..."
"But ultimately, we are fated to be apart!"
He lowered his head, full of remorse.
"Father, it's okay, I've accepted my fate," said Yun Mengtian dispiritedly. "But I'm really afraid he'll do something foolish."
"Don't worry, I've made it clear to them the gravity of the situation and how formidable the Ye Family is. They shouldn't do anything so suicidal!" Yun Sheng gently reassured her.
"That's good then."
Yun Mengtian breathed a sigh of relief.
However, angry voices soon came from the inn not far from the Yun residence.
"Kidnap. Kidnap her, we must!"
Yi Feng's voice was particularly firm.
Although he was an ordinary human, it didn't mean he didn't have a fiery heart. After all, what does one live for in this life? To feel free and unrestrained.
In his previous life he had no choice but to lower his head because of his livelihood. He was already tired of that. He didn't want to live this life like that too.
As for the consequences, who cares. First kidnap the girl back, then figure it out later.
Of course, although Yi Feng wanted to kidnap his betrothed, he wasn't going to do it recklessly.
The first thing Yi Feng did was send Wu Yonghong out to gather information on the Ye Family.
Soon, Wu Yonghong collected and brought back the information.
"It seems this Ye Family really is quite powerful!" Yi Feng frowned as he looked over the information on the Ye Family.
In addition to Ye Tianci who was a squad captain in some sect, the family also had many martial artists and masters. The most powerful one had even reached the Martial Spirit realm.
Although Yi Feng didn't understand cultivation at all, it sounded very impressive!
Under these circumstances, it seemed unlikely that just a few ordinary humans like them could handle it.
After thinking it over, Yi Feng picked up a sound transmission talisman and started contacting people for help.
He felt that the only people who could potentially help with this matter were those fans of his.
When Yang Tianhua and the others received the news, they rushed over almost immediately.
"How did you all get here so fast?" Yi Feng was full of surprise. This speed left him dumbfounded.
"Oh, uh, we happened to be touring around here."
"Yeah yeah, just touring around!"
"Haha, what a coincidence."
The group laughed awkwardly.
Yi Feng looked at the group. Other than chalking it up to coincidence, he didn't know what else to say. He then got back to the main topic, "My friends, now I'd like to ask for your help with something."
"Please go ahead, sir."
The group grew excited.
Since Yi Feng was asking them for help, it meant he still thought about them!
Such back and forth would make them grow closer over time. Maybe one day when Yi Feng was happy, he might reward them with a little something. That would be enough to make them happy for life.
"I'm planning to kidnap a bride," said Yi Feng in a low voice.
"Kidnap a bride?"
The group immediately cried out in surprise.
"Shh!"
"Not so loud."
Yi Feng quickly made a silencing gesture.
The group quickly quieted down and lowered their voices to match Yi Feng's.
Yi Feng then softly explained the whole story to them, and told them of his plan to kidnap the bride tomorrow. This left Yang Tianhua and the others very moved.
This boss... he really did have quite the adventurous spirit!
He was basically asking them to cosplay and play extras!
But of course they didn't dare point this out to Yi Feng. They could only go along with it, and solemnly promised Yi Feng their help.
"It's great to have fans like you guys."
Yi Feng was touched inside.
"It's our duty, it's our duty!"
The group humbly responded. Being able to receive this acknowledgement from Yi Feng made them incredibly excited.
"But I have to say, you guys should still think it through clearly. This matter has its fair share of danger," Yi Feng continued. "I heard that Ye Family has a Martial Spirit powerhouse. That level of cultivation is probably terrifying!"
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
