In the scene, Ye Yu raised his pale face, his eyes filled with unwavering determination, and his voice grew increasingly cold.
"Go back and tell Ye Fan, with me here, I'll protect my Imperial Sister! No one will dare touch them!"
Hearing this, Gao Qun's expression suddenly turned grim. "Your Majesty is informing you, not asking for your opinion! You're already crippled, do you really still think you're the genius you once were! Don't be ungrateful!"
"Heh, whoever dares to touch them, I'll take their head. If you don't believe me, you can try!" Ye Yu's face contorted, his malevolent aura immense at this moment.
Seeing this, Gao Qun couldn't help but shiver, feeling a pang of fear in his heart. He recalled his past encounters with Ye Yu, all of which ended in miserable defeat. His imposing demeanor immediately faltered.
"I'm telling you, acting like this is acting against His Majesty!"
"Forget Ye Fan, even if the King of Heaven himself came! If they want to touch my sisters, I'll break their teeth! Get lost!" Ye Yu roared with all his might.
Seeing this, Gao Qun turned and left with a grim expression.
He couldn't say anything more. Although Ye Fan was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, he was also the Great Yan Emperor.
Such a vast treasure trove of resources was something even Ye Fan wouldn't easily give up. He couldn't watch Great Yan fall into chaos, nor could he completely fall out with Ye Yu.
Both Ye Fan and Gao Qun knew Ye Yu's relationship with the officials. If Ye Yu truly wanted to burn bridges, dealing with him would be quite troublesome!
Outside the scene, watching Ye Yu collapse completely after his roar, the three women were all stunned.
They never expected things to turn out this way.
Especially Ye Qingwan and Ye Qingxuan.
Their revered Imperial Father, Ye Fan, intended to use them as bargaining chips to marry into the Great Zhou Dynasty, but they were stopped by their most looked-down-upon younger brother, Ye Yu.
Recalling Ye Yu's ferocious appearance as he protected them in the previous scene, Ye Qingwan's heart ached as if being pierced. Tears streamed down her face like a broken string.
At this moment, Ye Qingwan finally understood.
Why, when she, the Regent, was in charge, there was no obstruction. Instead, after Ye Yu returned, her control over the court became even smoother.
All of this was merely Ye Yu paving the way for her silently behind the scenes.
Otherwise, with Ye Yu's prestige in the court, which even made Ye Fan wary, it would have been incredibly easy for him to depose her, the Regent.
Yet, Ye Yu didn't do that. It was clear that Ye Yu had no ambition for the position of Crown Prince at all.
And she had always thought Ye Yu coveted the Imperial Throne, and had treated Ye Yu so excessively because of it.
Now, thinking back to how Ye Yu never resisted when she found various excuses to suppress and torment him, his gentle demeanor...
Ye Qingwan suddenly felt her breathing become difficult, unable to utter a sound. She could only open her mouth and sob silently.
Ye Qingxuan also collapsed to the ground, listless, her eyes vacant.
Ye Yu had protected her with all his might, while she had only thought of how to destroy him, even going so far as to publicly declare Ye Yu a spy of the Demon Race.
"Why, why didn't he ever say anything?" Ye Qingshuang murmured, her face pale.
As members of the royal family, they knew better than anyone the courage and perseverance required to oppose a ruler of a nation, let alone the peak Nascent Soul Ye Fan.
It could be said that Ye Yu had truly put his life on the line for them.
"Like he said, if he had said it, would we have believed him?" Ye Qingxuan mumbled. Remembering every word Ye Yu had spoken now, her heart felt like it was being twisted.
Ye Qingshuang's feelings were naturally not as intense as the other two. She couldn't empathize, and could only stand silently by, watching the two women weep in despair.
After a long while, Ye Qingshuang gritted her teeth, turned, and left, not taking Ye Qingxuan with her.
She knew that it was unrealistic to take Ye Qingwan or Ye Qingxuan with her now. It was impossible for the two of them to even take half a step out of this palace.
And there was only one way to save them both, or rather, only one person who could do it.
That person was Ye Yu!
No matter what, she had to bring Ye Yu back!
The few guards saw Ye Qingshuang leave and said nothing. The people they were supposed to be watching were not her.
Meanwhile, in the Great Qin Dynasty, over the past two days, Ye Yu had refined quite a few pills. Today was also the day to depart for the Savage Secret Realm.
Outside Xianyang Palace at this moment, several figures were already waiting.
Situ Guang was still leading the team, but this time, in addition to Ye Yu and Qin Ruoxian, there were two other members of the royal family accompanying them.
They were the Third Imperial Prince Qin Xiong and the Fourth Princess Qin Yue.
Both of them had cultivation at the early Golden Core stage.
As for Situ Guang, after completely refining the Life Profound Origin Pill, his internal injuries had long since healed, and his cultivation had completely stabilized at the middle Nascent Soul stage. He was now full of vigor.
After bidding farewell to Qin Wushuang, Situ Guang took out a flying artifact, injected spiritual energy into it, and transformed it into a large ship that soared into the sky.
Seeing this, Ye Yu and the other three directly boarded the ship.
The Savage Lands were quite far from the Great Qin Dynasty. Situ Guang, with his abilities, could certainly reach it quickly, but it wouldn't be the same for Qin Ruoxian and the other two.
Not only would it be tiring, but the spiritual energy consumption would also be immense, and it would be difficult to handle any unexpected dangers along the way.
On the way, the group also saw many flying boats from other factions. It seemed that quite a few people had gathered for this secret realm.
Halfway through the flight, just as they were about to rest, Situ Guang suddenly stopped the spiritual boat, his face solemn as he looked ahead. A figure had appeared there at some point, standing still.
Situ Guang could feel a pressure emanating from her.
"Who are you? We are from the Great Qin Dynasty. If we have offended you in any way, please speak plainly," Situ Guang said with a grave tone.
Hearing Situ Guang's words, the person slowly walked closer. A faint fragrance wafted out, and it turned out to be a woman dressed in purple.
The woman merely glanced at Situ Guang and said, "I'm looking for someone."
Her tone was flat, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, but Situ Guang knew that this kind of person was the most troublesome because he couldn't tell if the other party was friend or foe.
"May I ask who you are looking for?" Situ Guang cupped his fists.
"Tell Ye Yu to come out and see me," the woman said calmly.
Situ Guang's expression changed drastically. He immediately suspected that this person might be someone sent by the Great Yan Dynasty to deal with Ye Yu. The spiritual energy around him began to surge, and he spoke, "What business do you have with the Imperial Son-in-law?"
Situ Guang directly addressed Ye Yu as the Imperial Son-in-law, intending to let the woman know that Ye Yu was already part of the Great Qin royal family, hoping she would retreat.
"Imperial Son-in-law? It seems he still doesn't understand!" As the words fell, the spiritual energy around the woman surged, and her expression suddenly turned cold.
