I Am His Fiancée

Ye Fan's governing abilities had always been criticized; he was by no means a qualified emperor.

However, it had to be said that Ye Fan was an extremely talented cultivator, ranking among the very best in the dynasties of Qingzhou.

He had reached the late Nascent Soul stage long before Ye Yu was born, and was now at the peak of Nascent Soul, just one step away from the Spirit Transformation stage.

In his previous life, Ye Fan should have returned a few days later. This rebirth seemed to have subtly changed many things.

"Everyone, making such a scene in my Great Yan Dynasty, isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Ye Fan's gaze fell upon the crowd below, his voice indifferent as immense pressure surged out.

The various protectors quickly apologized; this was not someone to be trifled with.

"Imperial Father, it's all my fault for not being able to dissuade Imperial Brother," Ye Xuan said, stepping forward with joy in his heart.

Unlike Ye Yu, Ye Xuan's birth mother was one of Ye Fan's favored consorts. If it weren't for the Grand Emperor Ye Zhentian's strong recommendation for Ye Yu to take over the Eastern Palace back then, the position of Crown Prince would have already been Ye Xuan's.

"Are you the one causing trouble?" Ye Fan looked indifferently at Ye Yu, as if the person before him was not his child, but an insignificant stranger.

"So what if it was me?" Ye Yu took a deep breath, meeting Ye Fan's gaze directly. Spiritual seals rose from beneath his feet.

Seeing this, many people stared blankly at Ye Yu, wondering if he intended to fight.

A flicker of surprise crossed Ye Fan's eyes as he looked at Ye Yu. Was this guy really going to speak to him in such a tone?

But it didn't matter. Ye Zhentian was dead, and he no longer needed to hold back.

Then, Ye Fan casually pointed at Ye Yu, and immense spiritual energy converged, far more powerful than when the five Imperial Guards had attacked together.

Seeing this, Ye Yu clasped his hands together. The fifteen hundred spiritual seals trembled wildly, and within a few breaths, they formed a massive array diagram.

"Nine Li Divine Fire Array!"

On the array diagram, nine streams of flame emerged, finally transforming into a dazzling pillar of fire in the center. The sky above the Great Yan Imperial City was dyed red.

Scorching heatwaves washed over them.

Ye Fan looked at Ye Yu below, his brow furrowed. Ye Yu's capabilities had clearly exceeded his imagination, but only just.

The pillar of fire and the spiritual energy collided with a roar under everyone's watchful eyes.

Unlike the previous stalemate, this time, the flames were instantly crushed by the spiritual energy, and the array diagram shattered in the blink of an eye.

Ye Yu felt a sweetness in his throat, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying backward.

Ye Fan, on the other hand, appeared unharmed. This attack had cost him no energy.

Ye Xuan's heart rejoiced; his greatest worry was finally about to be eradicated.

Seeing Ye Yu's miserable state, Ye Fan had no intention of stopping and pointed again.

Ye Yu took a deep breath, channeling the spiritual energy within him towards the small cauldron. The three pillars of light in his dantian merged at this moment, and cracks began to appear on Ye Yu's body, clearly indicating he was preparing to fight with his life on the line.

But at that very moment, Qin Ruoxian ran over and stood in front of Ye Yu with her arms spread wide.

"Princess!" Situ Guang hurriedly tried to chase after her, but it was too late.

As the spiritual light grew closer, a helpless sigh echoed through the air, and a figure appeared, deflecting Ye Fan's attack.

Ye Fan frowned slightly, looking at the person who had appeared. He smirked and said, "Qin Wushuang, you finally couldn't resist intervening?"

Qin Wushuang looked helpless. Qin Ruoxian had crushed her jade token before being sent out of the Liu manor, and Qin Wushuang had arrived at the Great Yan Imperial City long ago.

However, he hadn't intended to intervene. After all, falling out with Ye Fan for Ye Yu alone wasn't appropriate.

"You truly are reckless, girl," Qin Wushuang glared at Qin Ruoxian before his gaze fell upon Ye Yu behind her.

Honestly, Ye Yu's performance today was enough to impress him. This was undoubtedly a monstrous talent capable of surpassing all the young prodigies in Qingzhou.

But prodigies needed time to grow. As the ruler of a dynasty, he didn't want to bet the future on uncertainty.

However, he hadn't expected Qin Ruoxian to force his hand in this way at the last moment.

"How about it, Lord Ye, give me some face?" Qin Wushuang looked up at Ye Fan and smiled.

Ye Fan's eyes narrowed as he looked at Qin Wushuang. The Lord of Great Qin was also at the late Nascent Soul stage, but if they were to truly fight, Qin Wushuang would definitely not be his opponent.

After a long period of thought, Ye Fan spoke, "I can give you this face."

"Imperial Father!" Ye Xuan exclaimed anxiously. He couldn't let Ye Yu escape again.

But Ye Fan raised his hand, signaling Ye Xuan to be quiet, and then spoke again, "However, the Great Qin Dynasty must give half of its quotas for this War of a Hundred Dynasties to my Great Yan!"

Qin Wushuang's expression changed. The War of a Hundred Dynasties was not just a gathering of dynasties in Qingzhou, but a grand event for the Qing, Yun, and Lei states.

The rankings in the War of a Hundred Dynasties would determine the resource allocation for the major dynasties for the next fifty years, making it a crucial turning point that would decide a dynasty's future.

The Great Qin Dynasty only had ten quotas for this War of a Hundred Dynasties. Giving up half would undoubtedly be a huge blow to Great Qin.

"I'm afraid I cannot agree to this request..." Qin Wushuang was about to refuse when his expression suddenly changed. He turned his head and looked at Situ Guang with disbelief, as if asking him something.

Seeing Qin Wushuang look over, Situ Guang nodded heavily.

Just now, Situ Guang had informed Qin Wushuang of Ye Yu's ability to refine Rank 7 pills via a sound transmission.

The value of a Rank 7 alchemist was enough to offset half the quotas for the War of a Hundred Dynasties.

Qin Wushuang then took a deep breath and nodded, "Alright, I agree to this condition!"

As his words fell, not only Ye Fan but also the princes from other dynasties looked incredulous.

Everyone knew the importance of the War of a Hundred Dynasties, but they never expected Qin Wushuang to be willing to trade five spots for Ye Yu.

Could it be that Ye Yu possessed some talent they hadn't discovered yet?

"Fine, you can take this unfilial son with you, but only for today. If I ever see him again, don't blame me for being merciless." Ye Fan said, casting a cold glance at Ye Yu before waving his hand and leaving with Ye Qingwan and the others.

Qin Wushuang wasted no more words. His spiritual energy surged, and he took Ye Yu and the others away as well.

By the time Yan Ruyu successfully suppressed the blood poison within her, only ruins remained, along with a crestfallen Liu Ruyan.

The Autumn Water Sword was gone! Her once bright future was gone too!

Yan Ruyu frowned and stepped forward, asking, "Where did he go?"

Seeing Yan Ruyu, Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up. This was her last hope. She immediately said, "He's gone, but Senior Sister, he will come back for me. I am his fiancée."

After speaking, Liu Ruyan took out the marriage contract from her storage ring and handed it to Yan Ruyu.
