Chapter 974 (Big Brother has Changed!!!)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The man referred to as the Ninth Prince was, of course, Huang Yun. He turned slightly, his voice deep as he asked, "Lord of the Ye Family, any news about Yuqing?"

"Ninth Prince, rest assured!" Ye Shan didn't say much, just telling Huang Yun to relax.

Huang Yun didn't press further, understanding Ye Shan's meaning. He nodded, "Bring Yuqing back, and the Ye family will surely benefit."

"Thank you, Ninth Prince!" Ye Shan and Ye Chen both bowed.

Huang Yun sighed in relief and left the hall.

"Farewell to the Ninth Prince!"

After seeing Huang Yun off, Ye Shan sat with a stern face, and Ye Chen poured a cup of tea, asking, "Father, will Elder Brother know where Yuqing is?"

Ye Shan held the tea cup, and a wisp of hot steam rose, but he didn't drink. He calmly said, "He must know."

"Should we send someone to follow Elder Brother?" Ye Chen asked in a low voice.

Ye Shan shook his head, "I only need the result, not the process."

Ye Chen understood, but still asked in a hushed tone, "Father, Yuqing has never disappeared like this before. Could something have happened?"

"Or does she know some clues about Elder Brother?" Ye Chen added.

Crack!

The tea cup in Ye Shan's hand instantly shattered, scalding tea water dripping on his fingers. However, this level of heat meant nothing to Ye Shan.

From his eyes, it was impossible to tell whether he was pleased or disgusted. According to reason, he should be happy.

"Third Son, one must not be like your Elder Brother! Do you understand?" Ye Shan reprimanded, appearing very serious.

Ye Chen respectfully replied, "Father, I understand."

"Your Elder Brother brought this upon himself!" Ye Shan said sternly and then stood up, leaving.

Ye Chen bowed slightly, respectfully seeing his father off.

After his father left, Ye Chen furrowed his brows slightly.

Elder Brother was just too outstanding, so outstanding that even his brothers envied him, let alone others.

Moreover, Elder Brother was stubborn and not smooth enough, offending countless people.

For the sake of commoners, he dared to offend even the emperor. What Father just said was straightforward—never follow Elder Brother's way.

If Elder Brother had been a bit more low-key back then, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

In the eyes of those with power, they could speculate on some clues. The eldest son of the Ye family blocked the interests of many, so they had no choice but to eliminate him.

Even the most outstanding individuals, if they don't know how to navigate social situations, are bound to attract deadly consequences, and Elder Brother is a typical example.

In Father's eyes, the downfall of the Ye family is, to some extent, also due to Elder Brother's contributions.

On the other hand, Ye Juetian naturally had to find Yuqing. If he didn't bring Yuqing back, his mother's life would be in jeopardy!

Le Jing didn't stop Ye Juetian, hoping that her son could bring back Ye Hua, allowing her to see him one last time in her remaining years.

That would be enough.

For Le Jing, her satisfaction would come from seeing her son once, and nothing more.

Ye Juetian secretly found the mute at the boundary, using the same method to arrive on the Sapphire Continent.

In an instant, he appeared at the entrance of the Voidless Empire.

Ye Juetian headed straight for the imperial palace, his face filled with anxiety, and even his eyes were bloodshot.

However, Ye Juetian found a group of yellow-armored warriors blocking his way.

"Roar!" The yellow-armored warriors instantly drew their blades from their waists, pointing them at Ye Juetian.

Ye Juetian, who had no time to deal with other matters, clasped his hands together! Two pitch-black giant knives were gripped in his hands. "Anyone blocking me will die!"

In his anger, Ye Juetian directly attacked. With his strength, the yellow-armored warriors were no match and were directly cut through.

Seeing a white figure not far away, Ye Juetian knew it was his sister-in-law!

However, Ye Juetian rushed towards Yuqing. At this moment, the yellow-armoured warriors seemed to give up resistance.

In the imperial palace, Ye Hua stood with Dongfang Yuer. Dongfang Yuer was standing behind Ye Hua's shoulders, massaging him softly.

This was the only way Ye Hua felt comfortable.

"Your Majesty, your brother is coming to kill you." Wei Chang's reminder quickly appeared in Ye Hua's mind.

Dongfang Yuer, who stood behind him, quickly lowered her head and took a step back.

Ye Hua didn't speak, but this time, he seemed absent-minded.

At the palace gate.

Yuqing turned around and looked at Ye Juetian, asking in confusion, "Little Tian, why are you here?"

"Sister-in-law, you???" Ye Juetian walked to Yuqing's side, looking at the blood on her clothes with a furrowed brow.

Yuqing chuckled lightly, "It's nothing. I gave Ye Hua a good beating earlier, and now he's hiding inside, afraid to face me."

Of course, Ye Juetian knew she was joking. His sister-in-law was just too kind, too gentle to even hurt him a bit.

"Believe me, Ye Hua will compromise soon," Yuqing said with a faint smile. She couldn't guarantee this matter, but she had to provide some reassurance.

"Sister-in-law, I'm afraid we don't have time to wait," Ye Juetian said.

"What happened?"

"Huang Yun has already found out that you're missing. Now Spirit City is on high alert, and even..."

Yuqing's face changed drastically as she interrupted, "Even what?"

"Father took away mother's Spriti Spring. He wants me to bring you back, or else...," Ye Juetian clenched his fists tightly. Under such circumstances, which husband could be so heartless? He was simply inhumane!

Yuqing also understood the seriousness of the situation. It must be Huang Yun manipulating things from behind.

Is this person insane? Using such despicable means!

She used to underestimate Huang Yun!

However, the truth was not Huang Yun's request; he only asked Ye Shen to bring her back.

Yuqing looked at the imperial palace. If she went back this time, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to come out again, let alone seeing Ye Hua.

Huang Yun would definitely be eager to marry her. If she didn't agree, Ye Hua's mother would be in danger.

But should she really leave now? She hadn't even seen Ye Hua yet, and she was reluctant to leave!

"Sister-in-law! Big brother has changed. We are unrecognizable in our eyes," Ye Juetian expressed his disappointment towards his big brother. In the past, he felt that his big brother could shoulder a great responsibility, but now, his mother was threatened, and his big brother was hiding inside the imperial palace, refusing to face reality.

"No, your big brother hasn't changed," Yuqing firmly held onto her belief. If Ye Hua had changed, she would have died that night. In the end, it was his promise; he had said that she wasn't allow to die under his watch.

Ye Juetian suddenly roared, "No! Big brother has changed! The old big brother, if he knew that mother was being wronged, no matter where he was, he would rush back. But now! He only hides in the imperial palace, unwilling to face reality!"

Hearing Ye Juetian's loud roar, Yuqing hurriedly said, "Little Tian, you can't be so disrespectful! Ye Hua is still your big brother."
