One Night

The night was cool and still, a gentle breeze caressed the air, and the Insect Chirp echoed through the mountains and fields.

Beneath the apricot tree, the white Moonlight Stone emitted a serene glow, which also shone on the hem of the blue skirt.

Click!

Click!

The small iron knife carved on the wooden sword made a pleasant sound.

A moment later, the pretty face turned around.

I also saw a handsome face pushing open the courtyard gate.

This person was none other than Ye Jingcheng, who had returned from the Council Hall.

"Did I disturb you?" Ye Jingcheng smiled slightly.

Chu Yanqing smiled in return:

"Of course I've disturbed you. If the wooden sword I'm making for your child is poorly carved, he might use it to stab you someday!"

In response to Chu Yanqing's words, Chu Yanqing Ye Jingcheng her.

Nearly four years of training, and also four years of separation.

The other person held a sword carved in their hand. The wooden sword appeared somewhat rounded and not particularly sharp, but it would indeed be suitable for a child.

Although their encounter that year was intense, they did not conceive a child.

He knew that Chu Yanqing was targeting him, and that she was also looking forward to it.

At the same time, it is also an explanation to the Lineage.

In fact, Ye Jingcheng has been advocating for a policy of having more children for over forty years, so it is quite unreasonable that he, as the head of the family, has not had any children.

His second brother, Ye Jingyong, is said to have had another child, but the child is only three years old now, and it is unknown whether he has Spirit Root.

Moreover, Chu Yanqing still holds the same view as her father: the head of the family is passed down from generation to generation.

She wanted to give birth to a son for Ye Jingcheng, a Ye Family who would become the next or the next-next head of the Ye family.

"Then let him come quickly!" Ye Jingcheng picked up Chu Yanqing and carried her directly into the house.

On such a beautiful night, if he were still coy and didn't engage in long conversations, he would seem unromantic.

Taihang Marketplace, inside the auction hall.

At this moment, Jin Yuyang and Jiang Jinghe sat facing each other, and on the table was a banquet similar to the one used to entertain Ye Jingcheng back then.

"Ward Master Jiang, I believe it's time for us to confront the Ye Family!" The one wearing the golden brocade robe was Jin Yurong.

If Ye Jingcheng were here, he would see that his appearance is somewhat similar to the Golden Jade Hall's.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, I still think your suggestion is inappropriate. There are Xuandao True Person's interests involved!" Jiang Jinghe refused with a troubled expression.

At this moment, Jiang Jinghe felt utterly helpless.

Back when he Foundation Establishment, he wasn't in such a helpless situation.

"Ward Master Jiang, you must know that Purple Peak is currently in power. Because the sect leader's wife is in seclusion, many True Person have expressed their dissatisfaction, which has already displeased His Highness the True Lord!" Jin Yurong said.

These words deepened Jiang Jinghe's sense of helplessness, but he still forced a smile on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, I suggest we follow the rules and hold a meeting and competition, inviting the Wei Family, Azure Cloud Nunnery, and Chen Family all together!"

"That works too!" Jin Yurong hesitated for a moment, then nodded, but he still asked:

"I'm afraid the Ye Family won't agree because Ye Jingcheng is in seclusion!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinghe was immediately at a loss.

If the Ye Family really uses Ye Jingcheng's seclusion as an excuse to stall for time, there's really nothing we can do.

Openly breaking the rules is also a slap in the face to the Taiyi Sect's Illusion Peak.

However, at that moment, a telepathic Spirit Talisman flew in.

The next moment, Jiang Jinghe's expression changed, and he spoke as well:

"Fellow Daoist Jin, good news! Ye Jingcheng has emerged from seclusion and is preparing to reconvene the Taihang Small Meeting to decide on the future allocation of the Taihang Marketplace!"

"Which day?" Jin Yurong asked, her face lighting up with a smile.

"It's set for five days from now!" Jiang Jinghe said.

"It's a bit late, but it's still okay, so let's leave it at that!" Jin Yurong hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

He drank the spiritual tea in one gulp, ate a bite of the spiritual food, then got up and walked towards the door.

Halfway there, he turned back to look:

"Ward Master Jiang, to be honest, besides Patriarch Chengyun, Uncle Xuanhen of our Jin Family has also broken through to the Golden Core stage. This is the real strength of our Jin Family. The Green Willow Jin Family can transform from the Purple Mansion branch family to a Golden Core branch family at any time!" After saying this, Jin Chengrong left directly.

Only Jiang Jinghe remained, his expression complex.

Even if he thought highly of Ye Jingcheng was only at the Purple Mansion Lineage level. Since he hadn't joined the Taiyi Sect, he naturally couldn't rise to the Taiyi Sect level.

But the problem now is that, because of Ziming True Lord's breakthrough, the atmosphere of the Taiyi Sect, even among its five peaks, has changed.

Jin Yurong represents the Jin Dan Lineage, and even more so, the vassals of Purple Peak.

At the Ye Family Restaurant, Ye Jingfu was also pacing back and forth.

The restaurant's business is getting worse and worse.

He felt somewhat guilty for failing Ye Xinghe's expectations, as the latter had entrusted him with the entire Ye Family's Taihang Marketplace, including restaurants, Spirit Beast shops Pill Pavilion.

Moreover, the Lineage held an auction ten years ago.

But now, there are few cultivators in front of the gate.

He knew that the Jin Family and Jiang Jinghe were secretly involved, but he just couldn't think of a way to deal with it.

His hair was now somewhat gray, and at this moment he remembered Ye Xinghe's words: only with strength can one have a business sense.

He was confused at the time, but now he understands the intricacies of it all.

Just then, a ray of light appeared and was caught in Ye Jingfu's hand; it was a sound transmission Spirit Talisman.

Ye Jingfu's expression changed immediately, and he quickly went outside.

Five figures walked in from outside the market.

All five of them were wearing the Ye Family's Daoist robes and came along with the sunlight, which made Ye Jingfu even more excited.

These five people were Ye Jingcheng Ye Jinghu, Ye Jingli, Ye Qingyan Ye Qingwen, and others.

"Patriarch, Sixth Brother..." Ye Jingfu also spoke up repeatedly.

"Jingfu, you've worked so hard all these years!" Ye Jingcheng felt a pang of pity as he looked at Ye Jingfu's white hair and beard.

The Jin Family's targeting of the Ye Family began about ten years ago, back when Ye Jingcheng hadn't yet refined the Purple Palace Jade Liquid for Jiang Jinghe.

It was for this reason that Ye Jingcheng was willing to help Jiang Jinghe.

I just didn't expect that Jiang Jinghe would still favor the Jin Family.

The Ye Family was once again at a disadvantage.

Once this disadvantage becomes a fixed situation, it won't just affect Taihang Marketplace; Taichang Market will also be affected.

"Patriarch, I have failed the Lineage's expectations!" Ye Jingfu shook his head.

Even if there were objective reasons, as the person in charge of the Taihang Marketplace of the Lineage, he could not escape blame.

"This matter has little to do with you. You already have lists of Rogue Cultivator and special Evil Cultivator Bandit Cultivator targeting our Ye Family, right?" Ye Jingcheng said.

Ye Jingfu nodded repeatedly.

Retrieve the list.

Ye Jingcheng took the list, but without looking at it much, he handed it directly to Ye Jinghu Ye Qingyan, and Ye Qingwen.

These people are the Rogue Cultivator and Bandit Cultivator who have been targeting the Ye Family in recent years.

When Ye Jingcheng arrived at Taihang Marketplace, the first thing he did was to start a business with these people.

After years of forbearance, it's time for the Ye Family to once again display some authority.

At the same time, it was also a time to test the combat strength of the three of them.

After looking at the list, the three of them left.

Only Ye Jingli looked at Ye Jingcheng with some hesitation:

"Jingcheng, is this alright...?"

"If there are problems with these things, it only means that the Lineage has a problem with its judgment. Sixth Brother, do you have a problem with your judgment?" Ye Jingcheng smiled slightly and looked at Ye Jingli.

Ye Jingli immediately shook his head repeatedly:

"There's absolutely no way there will be a problem. I still have more faith in Jinghu this time!"

"Just wait quietly!" Ye Jingcheng said nothing more, and then entered the restaurant.

He did not immediately send a telepathic message to Jiang Jinghe.

He entered the market openly and legitimately.

He was giving Jiang Jinghe a chance to explain.

Of course, he only gave me one night.

The twilight light filtered through the green bamboo, leaving dappled shadows and stretching the shadows of the market buildings to an extremely long length.

As darkness fell, Ye Jingcheng glanced out from the balcony corridor and then closed the window tightly.

But all that was seen was a sound transmission Spirit Talisman.

It was Jiang Jinghe who sent it.

Ye Jingcheng's expression wasn't relaxed at this moment; instead, he seemed rather complicated.

After all, the smarter Jiang Jinghe is, the more he shifts between sides, the more trouble he will cause.

If Jiang Jinghe were a simple-minded person, he would be much easier to deal with.

After hesitating for a moment, he replied with a telepathic Spirit Talisman.

A moment later, a figure walked over from a distance, entered the restaurant, and knocked on Ye Jingcheng's door.

"Patriarch Ye Family, I, Jiang, have come uninvited. I apologize for my intrusion!"
