"Well! I can only say that I haven't slept well these past few days. Otherwise, do you think I don't want to see you? Seeing you is the only way I can get a good night's sleep!" Ye Lang replied. Indeed, he hadn't slept well for the past forty-one days. It wasn't that he didn't want to sleep well, but that he had no choice.

After all, he was on the run, and in the days before, he had been using internal energy cultivation instead of sleeping, so he naturally didn't have any dreams. Later, his nerves kept him in a state of alertness, preventing him from falling into deep sleep, and thus he didn't enter this dream.

"Hmph! If I find out who's keeping you up at night, I'll make sure they pay!" The girl in the dream gritted her teeth and hummed softly, seemingly talking to herself, and also seemingly talking to Ye Lang.

Therefore, she hated everyone who prevented her from seeing Ye Lang. She would be unhappy for even a day or two, let alone forty-one days!

"I can't say..." Ye Lang's words did not surprise the girl in the dream. She had guessed that this might be the case, and she did not mind. She started chatting with Ye Lang.

Perhaps because they hadn't seen each other for so long, the two talked for a very long time, which meant that Ye Lang also slept for a very long time...

Ye Lanyu and the others knew that Ye Lang hadn't slept for two days, so they didn't wake him. When he finally woke up, it was three days later—he had slept for a full three days!

"Ye Lang, did you see your dream girl yesterday?" The Seventh Princess asked with a smile as Ye Lang, who was lost in thought, stared at her.

"I saw it, she was indeed angry, saying that I haven't shown up for so long and that she would ignore me from now on. I haven't been gone that long, it's only been a little over a month. I've been on the run for the past month, that's why I haven't appeared in your dreams!" Ye Lang said innocently.

"More than a month is a long time for a girl. It would be strange if she didn't scold you!" the Seventh Princess said quietly, which seemed to reflect her own feelings.

She felt the same way. She had been separated from Ye Lang for more than a month and missed Ye Lang terribly. It seemed that she had never been separated from Ye Lang for so long in her life.

"Is that so? But she ignored me, and then not long after, she asked me to go over and talk to her..." Ye Lang said blankly.

"You're making it sound so real!" The Seventh Princess pointed at Ye Lang's head, annoyed. The more Ye Lang spoke, the more convincing it sounded, as if it were true. This made her unsure whether to be annoyed or amused.

"It is true!" Ye Lang replied.

"Alright, alright, it's true! Ye Lang, tell me, how did you create that formation, how did you escape, and how did you get to Mivila City..." The Seventh Princess grabbed Ye Lang's hand, looking at Ye Lang expectantly.

"This..." This wasn't the first time Ye Lang had answered this question; several people had asked him before. Otherwise, since the Seventh Princess wanted to know, he would have explained it to her slowly.

The two of them sat together early in the morning, chatting slowly, sometimes laughing, sometimes tense, sometimes playfully teasing, and sometimes...

This scene evoked a sense of warmth in many viewers, while also bringing a touch of smug envy...

The two of them have been like this since they were little, and it seems they haven't changed...

In the following period, members of the Ye Clan arrived in Ye City one after another. Some did not arrive as expected, while others did. This gave Ye Chengtian and the others a chance to see the loyalty of these people.

However, overall, it was quite unexpected; more people came than expected, which was something Ye Chengtian and the others hadn't anticipated.

While it cannot be ruled out that there might be other motives involved, given the current conditions, what motives could there be? Ye Chengtian and the others are starting everything from scratch, and they are also going to do something that seems unbelievable.

This incredible situation caused some people to lose faith and leave, but this was only a very small number of people!

Those who remained in the end were all trustworthy people and the pillars of Ye Chengtian's faction in the future. Ye Chengtian's faction still called themselves the Ye Clan and acknowledged that the people of the Soaring Sky Ye Family were members of the Ye Clan and their own clansmen.

The Lineage belongs to everyone. We will not deny the family just because we have separated from the Lineage, nor will we say that we are not surnamed Ye just because we have become independent!

This might explain why Ye Chengtian's faction is gaining more and more support, eventually surpassing the original head of the Ye Clan in prestige—of course, that's in the future!

When everyone had arrived, Ye Yi announced something to everyone: he would pass the position of family head to Ye Chengtian, and he would not acknowledge the position of head of the Soaring Sky Ye Family.

Although he didn't care about the Soaring Sky Ye Family's businesses, he was unhappy that his position had been taken away. He wanted everyone to bring something to the Soaring Sky Ye Family—

I'm not dead yet!

As more and more people joined, things became smoother and smoother. Ye Chengtian and the others began to develop the city in full swing. While developing the city, they also notified Ye Lang's older brother Second Sister from the First Academy, as well as other brothers and sisters and some other people, asking them to come here directly.

However, even if they didn't inform them, Ye Lang's elder brother and others already knew about it. Now the whole continent is talking about it. Everyone knows that Zhao Yarou suddenly ascended to the throne and became the new Empress, and the Ye Clan is divided into two factions.

This situation has led many to believe that it marks the beginning of a new era!

They believed that Ye Chengtian's faction would seek help from external forces and combine it with their own strength to carry out some retaliation, causing turmoil on the mainland.

At first, everyone thought that the Ye Clan would side with the Vermilion Bird Empire and become its new elite. The Vermilion Bird Empire, which had never been at peace with the Xiangkong Empire, would help the Ye Clan attack the Xiangkong Empire, an empire that had just changed emperors and was still somewhat unstable domestically.

However, no one expected that the Ye Clan would stay in a small kingdom and develop there. Although the small kingdom already belonged to the Ye Clan, everyone felt that it was still too small.

Perhaps some people understand that even if the Ye Clan is ousted by the new Empress, it doesn't mean they will necessarily seek revenge, because if they do, it might bring disaster to their original homeland, which is something they probably don't want to see.

What's also surprising is that, despite the initial expectation that the Xiangkong Empire would be unstable for a period of time, the outcome was unexpected. Zhao Yarou quickly stabilized the country with strong and bloody methods.

All of this seems to have little to do with Ye Lang, at least that's what he thinks, even though he played a very important role in it.

Time passed, and everything continued...

Apart from those changes, everything else continues as before, and this matter can be considered to be concluded...
