Chapter 2526: Everyone, Get the Hell Out!

A young man in brocade robes slowly walked out from the back hall.

Beside him followed a somewhat attractive middle-aged woman with a respectful demeanor.

As the young man appeared, the expressions of Lü Yuanjie and Gui Tianyu both changed.

“Yu… Young Master Yu!”

Li Zhengqiu said smugly, “This marriage was arranged entirely by Young Master Yu.”

Young Master Yu stopped before the two, looking down on them, and said indifferently, “The Yang and Li families have been at odds for years. I’m acting as a mediator, arranging a marriage to turn conflict into harmony. Do either of you have any objections?”

“N-no objections!” Intimidated by Young Master Yu’s presence, Lü Yuanjie and Gui Tianyu involuntarily stepped back.

Young Master Yu nodded and said, “Thank you both for traveling a great distance to send Sister Xuezhen back. When you have time, come to the Tang residence for a drink.”

Hearing this, the two were overjoyed.

This Tang Yu was the eldest young master of the Tang family, held in high esteem.

The Tang family’s status in the imperial city was far beyond what these families could compare.

The Tang family was one of the three great clans of the Eastern Lin Kingdom, with influence spreading across the entire kingdom.

Behind them stood the Second Prince of the royal family.

With such connections, who would dare not show the Tang family respect?

Lü Yuanjie and Gui Tianyu dared to act arrogantly in front of Li Zhengqiu, but they did not dare to cause trouble before Tang Yu.

And Tang Yu’s words hinting at recruitment made the two ecstatic.

Not just any family could climb the high branch of the Tang family!

“Th-thank you, Young Master Yu!” the two said joyfully.

Not far away, Yang Xuezhen’s eyes were filled with despair.

She hadn’t expected that returning would mean facing such a situation.

“Elder brothers, you…” Yang Xuezhen was on the verge of tears.

In her moment of despair, these two were her last lifeline.

But now, even they…

Lü Yuanjie sighed and said, “Junior sister, actually, Brother Zhengqiu is a fine man, not a bad choice! The two of you are well-matched in status!”

Yang Xuezhen’s gaze turned cold, and she said angrily, “Elder Brother Lü, I never thought you would be such a faithless man. I misjudged you!”

Lü Yuanjie snorted coldly, his face changing, and said, “Yang Xuezhen, don’t act innocent in front of me! Do you think I don’t know? Weren’t you just trying to use me to deal with Li Zhengqiu?”

Yang Xuezhen’s face turned pale, and she choked, “You…”

In truth, it wasn’t Yang Xuezhen who begged them to come; rather, the two had insisted on following her.

Yang Xuezhen had initially refused, but in her desperation, she had no choice but to rely on their strength.

Now, Lü Yuanjie was turning the tables on her!

Usually, Lü Yuanjie would go out of his way to please her, but now his face changed as quickly as turning a page.

“Alright, Sister Xuezhen, your mother and Madam Xiao have already agreed to this marriage. Moreover, I think Zhengqiu is a good man, and his family background matches yours; it’s not an injustice to you. It’s better to resolve enmity than to keep it alive! So, how about giving me face and accepting this marriage?” Tang Yu looked at Yang Xuezhen and said gently.

She gritted her teeth and said, “Young Master Yu, I, Yang Xuezhen, would rather die than marry the son of my father’s murderer!”

Tang Yu seemed unperturbed and smiled, “Is that so? If that’s the case, I can’t guarantee your mother’s safety.”

Yang Xuezhen’s expression changed, her delicate body trembled, and she nearly collapsed.

Despair!

At this moment, Yang Xuezhen felt only this one emotion.

Wanting to die but unable to!

And being coerced into marrying her father’s murderer!

Who could understand such despair?

Tang Yu held power in the palm of his hand; as a mere woman, she had no room to resist!

“Junior sister, what’s wrong with being a daughter-in-law of the Li family? It’s not that bad! Unless you can’t bear to part with that kid who ascended from the lower realm?” Gui Tianyu suddenly said.

As he spoke, everyone’s gaze fell on Ye Yuan.

The aura of an ascender on him was too obvious.

Earlier, everyone’s focus had been on Yang Xuezhen, and no one had noticed this ascender.

But now, prompted by Gui Tianyu, Ye Yuan instantly became the center of attention!

Moreover, Gui Tianyu’s words carried a hidden meaning, clearly intending to put Ye Yuan to death.

Yang Xuezhen’s delicate body trembled, and she quickly said to Ye Yuan, “You… go quickly! Young Master Yu, I don’t know him; I only brought him out of the Mograss Forest!”

But Young Master Yu said indifferently, “In that case, killing an ant that just ascended is no big deal, right? Zhengqiu, Xuezhen is your woman; handle this yourself.”

Sure enough, Li Zhengqiu’s gaze turned cold, and he sneered, “A toad lusting after a swan’s flesh? A mere ant dares to compete with me for a woman?”

Yang Xuezhen didn’t have much feeling for Ye Yuan, but she hadn’t expected to drag him into this.

Her heart was filled with anxiety, yet she felt powerless.

In the imperial city, no one whom Young Master Yu wanted to kill had ever escaped.

“She is not my woman!” Ye Yuan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.

At these words, everyone laughed.

This kid was scared!

“Hahaha… you coward! Weren’t you very arrogant? Now you’re afraid? Eager to distance yourself?” Gui Tianyu laughed loudly.

Lü Yuanjie and the group of family guards all jeered.

Young Master Yu just smiled faintly, clearly finding Ye Yuan ridiculous.

Yang Xuezhen bit her lip. She understood Ye Yuan, but in this situation, she wished someone would stand by her side!

After all, she had saved his life, yet Ye Yuan was abandoning her at this moment.

Heartbroken!

Despair!

“But he will not be your woman either! Now, all of you, get the hell out!” Amid the laughter, Ye Yuan said calmly.

At these words, the laughter didn’t stop but grew even louder.

“Heh, you want me to get out? Did you get your head crushed by the passageway when you ascended? Kid, kneel and apologize now, and maybe I’ll be in a good mood and spare your life!” Li Zhengqiu laughed loudly.

Ye Yuan looked calmly at Li Zhengqiu and said indifferently, “Oh, is that so?”

Whoosh!

At that moment, Ye Yuan moved.

A blur flashed by; Ye Yuan’s speed was extreme.

Bang!

Bang!

Two crisp sounds were heard, and Li Zhengqiu fell to his knees.

His kneecaps had been shattered by Ye Yuan’s kick!

The laughter abruptly stopped!

Everyone looked at Ye Yuan, their eyes filled with shock.

This ant-like ascender had crippled Li Zhengqiu, a mid-stage Lesser Ultimate Heaven, with one move?

“Th-this… how is this possible? He’s clearly just an ascended ant!” Gui Tianyu said in shock.

“Sp-space law! That was… space law?” Lü Yuanjie’s pupils contracted, and he exclaimed.

In the Tai Ming Yu Wan Heaven, space law was also an extremely difficult rule power to comprehend.

Having arrived here, Ye Yuan’s space law was greatly suppressed.

But it was enough to deal with Li Zhengqiu!

Ye Yuan remained expressionless and said calmly, “Since you’ve knelt, I’ll spare your life. Now, everyone, get the hell out!”
