Have You All Forgotten?

Ye Yu glanced at Ye Qingwan and chuckled, "Then what about your other imperial brother, the Crown Prince? Wouldn't it be more suitable for him to step forward?"

"Xiao Xuan is still young, he doesn't understand these things yet. Don't drag him into everything. He's not like you; his mind is simpler," Ye Qingwan said through gritted teeth. Even if Ye Xuan hadn't spoken up for her, so what?

He was the brother she had watched grow up since childhood. He just didn't understand now. If he knew the consequences, wouldn't he help her?

"Then what do you want me to do?" Ye Yu asked playfully.

"Just come back with me. With your prestige in court, you can definitely make Imperial Father reconsider this matter," Ye Qingwan said, her eyes shining.

Ye Yu held a very high position in court. The fact that so many elder ministers had come forward to expel him back then was a testament to that.

"Besides, you're just an outsider in Great Qin. How good can they be to you? It's better to return to Great Qin. Don't worry, I guarantee you'll have food and shelter. How about it?"

This woman was as self-righteous as ever.

"Hey, aren't you being a bit inappropriate, openly trying to poach someone from my Great Qin?" A light laugh rang out, and Qin Yue's figure slowly emerged.

"This is my family matter, what does it have to do with you!" Ye Qingwan said unhappily upon seeing Qin Yue.

"What, Ye Yu is my brother-in-law now. Can't I manage him?" Qin Yue looked at Ye Qingwan with a playful expression.

Ye Qingwan's expression immediately changed. She looked at Ye Yu in disbelief and said, "You actually gave up being a proper Imperial Prince to become an Imperial Son-in-law in Great Qin? Are you an idiot?"

Great Qin and Great Yan were fundamentally different.

Although Great Yan was strong, it didn't have many royal family members. Ye Fan was completely immersed in cultivation. In this generation, there were only the seven siblings in the entire Great Yan royal family, which was very few for a royal family.

Great Qin was different. There were over ten royal family members of the same generation.

The more members there were, the greater the competition for the imperial throne.

"You know, in Great Yan, there are only you and Xiao Xuan as Imperial Princes. As long as you don't fight for the position of Crown Prince, you'll at least be a Prince in the future. How can you be so foolish?" Ye Qingwan acted like a caring elder sister.

Ye Yu looked at the growing crowd around them, all looking over curiously.

He figured that what happened today would spread back to Great Yan before long. He immediately said loudly, "I truly have no interest in the Imperial Throne. If you insist on saying this, then I really can't continue this conversation."

With that, Ye Yu turned and returned to the Imperial Palace, giving Ye Qingwan no further opportunity to speak.

Ye Qingwan stood frozen, not yet understanding what had happened. Qin Yue also left.

"I didn't expect this, brother-in-law. You're quite the actor," Qin Yue said, following Ye Yu with a smile.

Ye Yu shrugged, unconcerned. "I was sincere. Firstly, I truly have no interest in the Imperial Throne. Secondly, I really couldn't continue talking with her."

"It's just that if this conversation reaches Ye Fan and Ye Xuan, it will sound different, won't it, brother-in-law?" Qin Yue said with great interest.

Ye Yu nodded. Given Ye Fan and Ye Xuan's personalities, if the scene today reached their ears, it would infinitely increase their suspicion of Ye Qingwan, especially with such a conversation.

If Ye Qingwan didn't retaliate then, her fate might be even worse than being married off to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"But what if they don't fall for it, brother-in-law?" Qin Yue asked.

Ye Yu glanced at Qin Yue and grinned, "I'll start a fire. Whether they believe it or not, they'll have to."

With that, Ye Yu went to Xianyang Palace. However, not long after, Ye Yu left.

As Ye Yu had expected, it didn't take a day for the news of Ye Yu and Ye Qingwan's meeting to reach Ye Fan.

Upon hearing this news, Ye Fan immediately ordered the two to be arrested.

Since Ye Yu had informed Qin Wushuang in advance, he turned a blind eye to the Great Yan experts who had entered Great Qin.

Within two days, Ye Qingwan was brought back to the Great Yan Imperial Palace.

"Ye Qingwan, you have some nerve! How dare you go find that rebellious son! And try to persuade him to come back and fight Xiao Xuan for the Imperial Throne!" Ye Fan said through gritted teeth.

After the trip to the secret realm, Ye Fan already hated Ye Yu to the bone. For Ye Qingwan to dare to sneak off and find him, how could he tolerate it!

"Imperial Father, you've been wronged! I didn't mean that. I've always supported Xiao Xuan!" Ye Qingwan cried.

"Imperial Father, could this be Imperial Brother's scheme? I believe Imperial Sister isn't that kind of person," Ye Xuan frowned.

Over the past year, he had been well aware of Ye Qingwan's actions regarding Ye Yu. If Ye Qingwan wanted to help Ye Yu seize the throne, the possibility was too small.

Hearing Ye Xuan speak, Ye Fan finally calmed down. After careful consideration, he also realized something was amiss.

Then, looking at Ye Qingwan below, who looked wronged, had he perhaps mistaken her?

At the same time, at the border of Great Yan, a stream of light flew over.

Ye Yu's figure appeared. Returning to a familiar place, even as a person of two lives, Ye Yu couldn't help but take a deep breath to calm his emotions.

Because below was where everything began.

The Nine Nether Blood Spring!

Within a hundred-mile radius of the Nine Nether Blood Spring in other dynasties, there were almost no living creatures. But Great Qin was different, solely because Ye Yu had already sealed the Nine Nether Blood Spring.

Therefore, in this place, there were still many citizens of Great Qin making a living.

After a moment of thought, Ye Yu's figure descended into the city. Spiritual energy flowed, and he changed his appearance, heading towards the small tavern in his memory.

After a year, the small tavern from back then had now become a large inn. There were quite a few people coming and going.

Among them were many cultivators, as well as experts from other dynasties. However, these people were all here to study the method of sealing the Nine Nether Blood Spring.

Entering the tavern, Ye Yu found a corner to sit. After searching for a while, he saw a familiar figure, although his current condition was not good.

"Shi Lei, come here and curse Ye Yu for me, and I'll give you a meal!" a customer roared with laughter.

Others watched the scene with amusement, as if it were a common occurrence they were used to, nothing special.

Shi Lei looked at the man. Even though he was starving, he didn't step forward, his eyes filled with pain.

He didn't know when it started, but everyone here had forgotten the person who had saved them from endless terror.

Not only did they have no gratitude, but they found joy in insulting Ye Yu all day long.

"Are you going to curse or not!" Seeing Shi Lei's lack of reaction, the man seemed to get angry. He immediately slammed the table and stood up.

"Have you all forgotten who sealed the Nine Nether Blood Spring, allowing you to live like this? Who, at the time, disregarded everything to build this small border town so you wouldn't be invaded by other dynasties? Have you all forgotten!" Shi Lei said through gritted teeth.

"Heh, that was all just an act for fools like you. If the Nine Nether Blood Spring was really that powerful, how could Ye Yu seal it alone? You're a fool, we're not."

"Exactly. Even if the blood spring erupts again, with the current Crown Prince Ye Xuan's abilities, can't he seal it? Does he need Ye Yu for that?"
