Chapter 530: You Are Regretting!

At Ren Xingchun's shout, everyone was startled.

Everyone present knew too well what the Boundless Realm was.

It was a realm that did not belong to the Boundless Domain; how could it appear in such a young woman?

But with Ren Xingchun's cultivation, how could he be mistaken?

At this, the crowd's gaze toward Ye Yuan shifted once more.

A Boundless Realm expert willingly following Ye Yuan—what did that mean?

Ren Dong was the first to react, pleading with Ye Yuan, "Master, although Grandfather is somewhat domineering, he doesn't deserve death! Please... please spare him?"

Ren Xingchun's lips moved as if to say something, but in the end, he held back.

Facing a Boundless Realm expert, he truly lacked the confidence to continue being arrogant.

Seeing Ren Xingchun's crestfallen expression, Ye Yuan felt a secret satisfaction.

Yue Mengli couldn't actually strike, but she was quite effective for intimidation.

Stirring the world's primal energy like this was effortless for Yue Mengli, but in the eyes of a Spirit Traveling cultivator, it was a divine realm.

A Boundless Realm expert in the lower realm represented invincibility!

Even with Ren Xingchun's assertiveness, he dared not act rashly before Yue Mengli.

"Enough, enough. Li'er, withdraw it. Who told me to take on such a disciple? If I killed his biological grandfather, it wouldn't be easy to continue as master and disciple," Ye Yuan said with feigned emotion.

Yue Mengli nodded, retracted her aura, and once again became a harmless little girl, standing behind Ye Yuan.

Unaware that Ye Yuan had subtly sold him out, Ren Dong was overjoyed when he saw Yue Mengli withdraw, saying, "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

Ren Xingchun then came to his senses. Hearing Ren Dong call Ye Yuan 'Master' repeatedly, he couldn't help but rage, "Dong'er, what are you calling him? A mere Sea of Energy brat, how is he qualified to be your master?"

Ren Dong shook his head, "He is not my master in martial arts, but my master in alchemy!"

Ren Xingchun was stunned, and the anger he had just suppressed flared up again.

"With your grandfather teaching you alchemy, you still go and take someone else as your master? Even if you take a master, Ye Yuan is at best a quasi-Dan King; how is he fit to be your master? Have you lost your mind?"

"Grandfather, I know exactly what I'm doing! Although Master can only refine quasi-fourth-grade pills, his knowledge of alchemy far surpasses yours! The one who has mastered it can be the teacher; he is naturally qualified to be my master!" Ren Dong said.

Only then did Ren Xingchun recall Ye Yuan's performance at the Thousand Questions Wall. At that time, he had stopped Ye Yuan from continuing the challenge. If he had gone on, it was hard to say how many questions Ye Yuan could have answered.

Thus, Ye Yuan's alchemy level was actually far beyond his current cultivation.

Once his cultivation reached the appropriate level, his pill-refining skill would far surpass that of his peers.

In that case, there seemed nothing unreasonable about Ye Yuan being Ren Dong's master.

Ren Xingchun found that he could do nothing about this young man before him.

He had a suspected Boundless Realm bodyguard, and his alchemy knowledge was incredibly formidable.

In both martial arts and alchemy, he couldn't even match a wet-behind-the-ears kid, which made the proud Ren Xingchun feel extremely stifled.

"Brat, hand over Ye Hang and my daughter immediately! This is my family matter, none of your business!"

Ren Xingchun's tone now lacked its earlier confidence; he didn't even dare to make threats.

Ye Yuan said calmly, "They are in the room behind me. If you have the ability, go and bring them out yourself."

"You!"

Ren Xingchun glanced at Yue Mengli behind Ye Yuan and nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

If I could defeat her, I would have brought them out long ago. Why would I waste words with you?

Ren Xingchun took a deep breath and asked Ye Yuan patiently, "Fine, let me ask you, what is your relationship with them, and why are you saving them?"

Ye Yuan did not answer, only looking at him with a faint, knowing smile.

At this question, Ren Xingchun himself was taken aback.

He had been burning with anger and hadn't thought deeply about the connection.

Now that he asked himself, a possibility occurred to him.

Ye Yuan's surname was Ye, and Ye Hang's surname was also Ye. Moreover, judging by the timeline, Ye Hang and Ren Hongli had left the Northern Domain about eighteen or nineteen years ago, which matched Ye Yuan's age.

Could it be...

Ren Xingchun suddenly remembered something and turned abruptly to Ren Yujie, "You knew all along?"

Ren Yujie smiled bitterly, "I only found out today! It was my sister's words that woke me up completely, and I risked Father's punishment to bring her to Ye Yuan."

Ren Xingchun was stunned, "What did Hongli say?"

"She said that if her husband died, she would not live alone! And if Ye Yuan found out they died at your hands, he would surely come to avenge them in the future! She did not want to see such a tragedy of human ethics occur in our Ren family! When I learned that my sister's son was Ye Yuan, I knew he would have the ability to come and avenge them in the future!" Ren Yujie said.

Hearing this, Ren Xingchun was shocked.

Did he need to wait until the future?

Ye Yuan now had a suspected Boundless Realm expert by his side; killing him would be a simple task!

Even without relying on this Boundless Realm expert, given Ye Yuan's monstrous talent, perhaps within five years, he would no longer be a match for him!

Having such an extraordinary grandson, yet he had nearly killed his son-in-law. How absurd did this seem?

But Ren Xingchun never dreamed that Ye Yuan, this rising martial arts genius, was actually his own grandson!

This grandson should have been the pride of all Wufang City, but now...

For the first time in his life, Ren Xingchun felt some regret.

For so many years, he had been the one to call the shots, demanding that all of Wufang City obey him.

When his daughter fell in love with a low-level alchemist, he used strong-arm tactics to separate them.

Now that alchemist had come with sincerity, bringing his wife to apologize, yet he wanted to kill that alchemist.

"You are regretting!" Ye Yuan's voice suddenly rang out.

Ren Xingchun was startled—this kid had seen through his thoughts?

"You are regretting that a junior whom even Elder Hai values is actually your grandson, yet you didn't know!"

"You are regretting that this grandson could bring Wufang City and your Ren family countless honors and benefits, yet you wanted to kill his father!"

"You are regretting that you have thoroughly offended such an outstanding grandson!"

"But have you ever thought, if I were just an ordinary person, would you still regret what you did before?"

"If I were just an ordinary person, I would probably be lying dead in this courtyard by now, right?"

"So... you are nothing but a thoroughgoing selfish person! In your eyes, only your own supreme status matters!"
