Chapter 2676: Your Man Is Actually My Man!

"Greetings, Third Hall Master!"

In Dingnan City, Huang Haoyan and Su Peiyun respectfully saluted Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan had handed over the affairs of the Tiannan Dan Hall to the Song and Yun families, along with Cui Tong, to manage together, while he himself set off on the road to the Jihai Sea Region.

He entered the teleportation array from Tiannan City to Dingnan City, and from there he would go out to sea.

Now that Ye Yuan's status was extraordinary, Dingnan City naturally dared not be negligent.

However, seeing him come alone, they were still somewhat surprised.

"Master Ye, you're going out to sea all by yourself this time?" Huang Haoyan asked in surprise.

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "The sea race regards humans as enemies. If I bring people along, wouldn't that be like sending sheep into a tiger's den?"

Huang Haoyan said, "But if you go like this, what if the Black Flood Dragon King intends to harm you?"

Ye Yuan laughed, "Harm me? How could it be that easy?"

Huang Haoyan's eyes flickered, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Master Ye, although I am not strong, I am willing to accompany you! If something really happens, even if I can only delay for a moment, it would be good."

"If something really happens, how could you hold them off even for a moment? Alright, I have a plan. You don't need to see me off."

Ye Yuan waved his hand, and with a leap, he was already half a li away.

Huang Haoyan frowned slightly and said, "Peiyun, don't you think Master Ye seems a bit strange?"

Su Peiyun nodded, "Indeed, a bit strange!"

"Let's follow and take a look!" Huang Haoyan said.

...

Leaving Dingnan City, Ye Yuan headed south at great speed.

Huang Haoyan and the other, both at the Supreme Heaven rank, found it somewhat difficult to keep up.

But as they chased, they grew even more puzzled.

Ye Yuan did not take the main road, but instead deliberately went to remote places.

The farther he went, the fewer people there were.

Suddenly, their expressions changed.

From the dense forests of the mountain ridge, eight figures suddenly burst out, blocking Ye Yuan's path.

Huang Haoyan's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "It's Vice City Lord Tie and Min Nanshan! They... they have the audacity to kill Master Ye! No, I have to save him!"

Just as he was about to move, Su Peiyun grabbed him.

Huang Haoyan said urgently, "Peiyun, what are you doing? Those are eight Jade Emperor Heaven experts! Tie Xin and Min Nanshan are even peak Jade Emperor Heaven powerhouses!"

Su Peiyun's face darkened, and she scolded, "Shut up! You know they are eight Jade Emperor Heaven experts. What can you change by going?"

Huang Haoyan snorted coldly, "My life was saved by Master Ye. What's wrong with giving it back to him?"

Su Peiyun looked at him with exasperation and said in a low voice, "Are you stupid? All along the way, why did Master Ye deliberately take remote paths? Why did he not stop at Dingnan City and go straight out to sea?"

Huang Haoyan was stunned, finally ceasing to be agitated, and said in surprise, "You mean Master Ye did it on purpose? He... he knew Tie Xin and Min Nanshan wanted to kill him, and deliberately lured them out? He has a backup plan?"

Su Peiyun rolled her eyes at him and said, "Master Ye is who he is. He single-handedly repelled the entire Jihai Sea Race. How could he stumble on something like this? Let's just watch first. If it really goes wrong, we can act then!"

Over there, Tie Xin looked at Ye Yuan with a smug expression and laughed, "Ye Yuan, didn't expect to meet here, did you?"

Ye Yuan wore a faint smile and said, "What if I said I did expect it?"

Tie Xin was taken aback, then laughed loudly, "Kid, you're at death's door, and you're still putting on a brave face? It's useless. Today, you must die!"

Min Nanshan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Ye Yuan as if he were already dead, and said coldly, "Ye Yuan, you made my Min family wish they were dead. Today, it's time for retribution!"

These two had also heard that Ye Yuan was not easy to deal with.

So they were very cautious, directly bringing six Jade Emperor Heaven experts.

Their goal was to ensure absolute certainty.

Deploying eight Jade Emperor Heaven experts to deal with a Great Heaven rank—this was probably unprecedented in the Tiannan region.

And among these eight, not one was a lower-level Jade Emperor Heaven!

The weakest among them were mid-level Jade Emperor Heaven.

Tie Xin and Min Nanshan themselves were even super-strong experts at the Great Perfection of Jade Emperor Heaven.

Ye Yuan was unperturbed and said with a smile, "Let me guess. In the Tiannan Dan Hall, only Cui Tong, Wu Dao, Ji Chun, Song Tianyang, and Yun Boyu knew I was coming out. Song Tianyang and Yun Boyu have long broken with you; Cui Tong is highly respected; Wu Dao is a pill fanatic and disdains to associate with you. That means your source of information is Ji Chun."

As Ye Yuan analyzed unhurriedly, both Tie Xin and Min Nanshan's expressions changed drastically.

Could it be that this kid knew all along?

But if he knew, why would he walk right into the trap?

Ye Yuan's guess was spot on. Ji Chun had indeed been an agent planted by Tie Xin in the Tiannan Dan Hall.

But this connection was very secret, known to no one.

There were some who knew Ye Yuan would go out to sea.

But no one knew exactly when Ye Yuan would leave.

This time, Ye Yuan left very discreetly; only those few knew.

With a little analysis, it was easy to figure out.

Tie Xin sneered, "So what if you know? Can you escape from our hands alone?"

Ye Yuan laughed, "Who told you I came alone?"

Tie Xin and the others' expressions changed drastically upon hearing this!

But they carefully sensed their surroundings and found no trace of any powerful aura.

Tie Xin couldn't help but feel humiliated and angry, "Kid, are you messing with us?"

Min Nanshan, however, sneered, "Ye Yuan, I'll give you a chance. Call your people out!"

Ye Yuan looked at the two, still calm and smiling, "Do you think I only found out it was Ji Chun after seeing you? I think you misunderstand. Tie Xin, do you know why I deliberately took remote paths after leaving the city? Do you know why I left Tiannan City alone?"

The more Ye Yuan spoke, the more alarmed Tie Xin and the other became.

Yes, none of this made sense!

Ye Yuan continued with a smile, "What if I said I deliberately leaked the news to lure you here? Would you believe me? What if I said your man is actually my man, would you be very angry?"

"Bullshit! Ji Chun is my man; he would never betray me!" Tie Xin roared angrily.

Ye Yuan still smiled, "That was before. Now, he's my man!"

Over the past year, the changes Ye Yuan had brought to the Tiannan Dan Hall could be described as earth-shattering.

As Ye Yuan managed the Tiannan Dan Hall like an iron bucket, various problems gradually surfaced.

Ji Chun was one of them.

In fact, Tie Xin was not the only one who had planted agents in the Tiannan Dan Hall.

The three great families, and even the various large and small aristocratic families, even the city lords—who didn't want a piece of the Tiannan Dan Hall?

But what Ye Yuan brought to the Tiannan Dan Hall was something no one else could ever give!

Ye Yuan had long noticed Ji Chun's anomaly, but he did not execute Ji Chun; instead, he guided him in cultivation.

Because he discovered that Ji Chun was also a man who sought the Dao!

He had been waiting, waiting for Ji Chun to come forward himself!

Sure enough, not long ago, Ji Chun had revealed his true feelings to Ye Yuan.
