I Am His Fiancée

Ye Fan's ability to govern had always been criticized. He was absolutely not a qualified emperor.

But it had to be said that Ye Fan was an exceptionally gifted cultivator, undoubtedly among the very best within the imperial dynasties of Azure Prefecture.

He had already stepped into the Nascent Soul Late Stage before Ye Yu was even born. Now, he had long since reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage, only a single step away from the Spirit Transformation Stage.

In his previous life, Ye Fan should have returned several days later. After being reborn, it seemed many things had quietly changed.

"You have caused such a disturbance in my Great Yan Dynasty. Isn't that rather inappropriate?" Ye Fan's gaze fell upon the crowd below, his voice indifferent as immense pressure swept forth.

The Guardians hurriedly apologized. This was not someone they could afford to provoke.

"Father, it is all this child's fault for failing to stop Imperial Brother." Ye Xuan rejoiced inwardly and hurried forward.

Unlike Ye Yu, Ye Xuan's mother was Ye Fan's favored consort. If Emperor Emeritus Ye Zhentian had not strongly supported Ye Yu's entry into the Eastern Palace, the position of Crown Prince would have long since belonged to Ye Xuan.

"Were you the one making trouble?" Ye Fan looked at Ye Yu indifferently, as though the person before him was not his own son, but someone utterly insignificant.

"So what if I was?" Ye Yu took a deep breath and met Ye Fan's eyes directly. One Spiritual Seal after another rose beneath his feet.

At the sight, many people stared blankly at Ye Yu. Was he planning to fight?

A trace of surprise flashed through Ye Fan's eyes as he looked at Ye Yu. This fellow actually dared to speak to him in such a manner?

But it did not matter. Ye Zhentian was already dead, and he no longer needed to have any reservations.

Ye Fan then glanced calmly at Ye Yu and casually pointed a finger. Vast spiritual power gathered, even stronger than when the five Attendants had attacked together earlier.

Seeing this, Ye Yu brought his palms together. Fifteen hundred Spiritual Seals trembled wildly, converging within a few breaths into an enormous array diagram.

"Nine Li Divine Fire Array!"

Nine streams of fiery light emerged above the array diagram, finally transforming into a dazzling pillar of flame at its center. The skies over the entire Great Yan Imperial City were dyed red.

Scorching waves of heat surged toward them.

Ye Fan looked down at Ye Yu, his brows lifting slightly. Ye Yu's abilities had clearly exceeded his expectations, but that was all.

Before everyone's eyes, the pillar of fire and the spiritual power collided with a thunderous boom.

Unlike their earlier evenly matched clash, this time the flames were crushed by the spiritual power in an instant, and the array diagram shattered in the blink of an eye.

Sweetness flooded Ye Yu's throat. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward.

Ye Fan, on the other hand, remained completely unscathed. This attack had not cost him anything at all.

Ye Xuan was overjoyed. The great thorn in his side was finally about to be uprooted once and for all.

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

Ye Yu took a deep breath. The spiritual power within him surged into the Small Cauldron, while the three pillars of light in his dantian fused at this moment. Cracks began spreading across Ye Yu's body; he was clearly preparing to risk his life.

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

"Princess!" Situ Guang hurriedly tried to rush over, but it was already too late.

As the spiritual light drew ever closer, a helpless sigh sounded through the air. A figure appeared and dissolved Ye Fan's attack.

Ye Fan frowned slightly. Looking at the newcomer, he curled his lips and said, "Qin Wushuang, have you finally been unable to resist making a move?"

Qin Wushuang wore a helpless expression. Before Qin Ruoxian had been sent out of Liu Manor, she had already crushed the jade talisman, and Qin Wushuang had arrived in the Great Yan Imperial City long ago.

He simply had not intended to intervene. After all, it was not worth falling out with Ye Fan over Ye Yu alone.

"You really do know how to make trouble." Qin Wushuang glared at Qin Ruoxian, then shifted his gaze to Ye Yu behind her.

To be honest, Ye Yu's performance today had been astonishing enough. He was absolutely a monster capable of suppressing every member of the younger generation in Azure Prefecture.

But monsters needed time to grow. As the ruler of a dynasty, he had no intention of placing the future on something uncertain.

Yet he had not expected Qin Ruoxian to force him to reveal himself in such a manner at the very end.

"So, Sovereign Ye, how about giving me some face?" Qin Wushuang raised his head to look at Ye Fan and smiled.

Ye Fan narrowed his eyes as he looked at Qin Wushuang. This sovereign of Great Qin was also at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, but if they truly fought, Qin Wushuang would definitely not be his match.

After pondering for a long while, Ye Fan said, "I can give you this favor."

"Father!" Ye Xuan grew anxious at once. He could not allow Ye Yu to escape again.

But Ye Fan raised a hand to signal Ye Xuan to be silent, then continued, "However, Great Qin Dynasty must give half of its slots for this War of a Hundred Dynasties to Great Yan!"

Qin Wushuang's expression changed. The War of a Hundred Dynasties was not merely an event for the dynasties of Azure Prefecture, but a grand gathering of Azure, Cloud, and Thunder Prefectures.

The rankings of the War of a Hundred Dynasties would determine the allocation of resources among the major dynasties for the next fifty years. It could be called a pivotal turning point that decided a dynasty's future course.

Great Qin Dynasty had only ten slots in this War of a Hundred Dynasties. Giving up half of them would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to Great Qin.

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

When Situ Guang saw Qin Wushuang looking over, he nodded heavily.

Just now, Situ Guang had informed Qin Wushuang through voice transmission that Ye Yu could refine a Rank 7 Pill.

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

Qin Wushuang then took a deep breath and nodded. "Fine. I accept this condition!"

The moment those words fell, not only Ye Fan but also the Imperial Princes of the other dynasties revealed incredulous expressions.

They all knew how important the War of a Hundred Dynasties was, yet none of them had expected Qin Wushuang to be willing to exchange five slots for Ye Yu.

Could it be that Ye Yu possessed some talent they had failed to discover?

"Fine. You can take this unfilial son away, but only for today. If I see him again in the future, do not blame me for showing no mercy." After speaking, Ye Fan cast Ye Yu a cold glance, then swept his sleeve and left with Ye Qingwan and the others.

Qin Wushuang said nothing more. Spiritual power surged forth, carrying Ye Yu and the others away as well.

By the time Yan Ruyu successfully suppressed the blood poison within her body, all that remained was a field of ruins and a dazed, despairing Liu Ruyan.

The Autumn Water Sword was gone! Her once-bright future was gone as well!

Yan Ruyu frowned and stepped forward to ask, "Where is he?"

The instant Liu Ruyan saw Yan Ruyu, her eyes lit up. This was her last lifeline. She immediately said, "He left, but Senior Sister, he will come back for me. I am his fiancée."

As she spoke, Liu Ruyan took the marriage contract from her Ring of Holding and handed it to Yan Ruyu.
