At dusk.
The great sun on the horizon continued to sink, about to completely disappear below the horizon.
"The wind is picking up..."
Yang Wanfeng, standing in front of the main house, slightly raised his head, looking at the large trees swaying in the wind in the courtyard, and subconsciously chuckled:
"Then Ye Li, it's time for you to die."
After venting his frustrations, he turned and walked back inside. He was still weak and couldn't stay outside in the wind for long.
Just then, a familiar girl's voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Brother, who did you say is going to die?"
Yang Wanfeng was taken aback upon hearing this, and then immediately looked in the direction of the sound.
Sure enough, he saw Yang Wan, pale-faced, leaning against the wall, looking at him with slightly red eyes.
Yang Wanfeng was overjoyed. "Wan'er, you've recovered?"
"Grandpa gave me the Retainer's Heart Blood; at least he can move around freely now."
Yang Wan's flat voice carried an unprecedented sense of estrangement. "I heard you mention Ye Li, what happened to him?"
She heard the other person say something like "go to hell," and she also heard the name "Ye Li."
However, she didn't connect the two, after all, the other person held a gold medal from Fengyun University.
Within the territory of Huaxia, that gold medal was almost equivalent to the ancient imperial pardon for many prestigious sects.
No force in Huaxia dares to kill these top students.
Even if there are grudges, they will settle them after the other person graduates.
In addition, for some reason, she had been thinking about that Boy in Black for the past two days, which is why she took the initiative to ask him.
"Him...?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Wanfeng's lips curled into a smile, unable to hide his excitement, and he said, "Mother has taken two Upper Seat Retainer to Linhai City to intercept and kill him. Ye Li is going to die today!"
The Upper Seat Retainer is a special designation given to guests by the Yang family, and only Fourth-Tier Martial Artist can receive this honor.
Yang Wanfeng looked at the girl, expecting her to smile like he did.
Unexpectedly, Yang Wan's eyes widened suddenly.
"What?!"
Forget about maintaining a distance, she exclaimed in utter astonishment, "Has Mother gone mad? What if he escapes? He's a top student from Fengyun University..."
"Wan'er!"
Before she could finish speaking, a look of panic flashed in Yang Wanfeng's eyes, and he quickly interrupted her.
Ye Li hasn't told anyone in the Yang family about being Gold Medal Student.
The reason is quite simple.
He had heard that the core students of Fengyun University held a very high status in the outside world.
If his grandfather knew about this, he would most likely decide not to kill Ye Li, but at most teach him a lesson to maintain the Yang family's reputation.
But what about the people you've wronged?
His Meridians were damaged by the cold, and his cultivation level would be locked for the next three years. It was uncertain whether he could return to his peak cultivation speed after recovery.
Ye Li has already advanced to the Third-Tier.
Although we're only at the first or second level now, what about three years from now?
Given the educational standards of Fengyun University, Ye Li's promotion speed would probably be calculated at a rate of two promotions per year.
In that case, three years later, he'll probably be at least at the Third Order Sixth Layer!
At that point, there's no way I'll be able to catch up with them.
Therefore, instead of being anxious, it's better to let Ye Li remain at the Third-Tier forever.
Even though there was an element of gambling involved, Yang Wanfeng was confident that the Yang family's centuries-old foundation was there, and even if he lost the gamble, he wouldn't lose everything.
Shanzhou City still needs the Yang family, and the Yang family still needs themselves.
No matter how you look at it, this was a worthwhile gamble...
Thinking of this, Yang Wanfeng nervously glanced around, and after confirming that no one was around, he said in a slightly embarrassed low voice:
"Wan'er, keep your voice down. Grandpa doesn't know about this yet."
"...?!"
Yang Wan panicked completely and asked incredulously:
"Are you insane?! Assassinating a core student of Fengyun University is equivalent to assassinating the deputy director of the Qingyi Bureau. This is a heinous crime against the nation!"
As she spoke, her face grew paler and paler, and her legs trembled as she backed away.
A chaotic country?!
Upon hearing this, Yang Wanfeng felt a buzzing in his head, only then realizing what a remarkable thing he had done.
His expression changed drastically. "Are you telling the truth?!"
"Nonsense!"
Yang Wan now wished she could immediately sever all ties with this stupid pig in front of her from the Yang family and from herself!
"I really didn't expect you to do something like this..."
Recalling the strange phenomenon Ye Li summoned at the summit of Rift Mountain that day, her voice trembled:
"I don't care about you anymore, I'm leaving right now!"
"Wan'er, what are you panicking for!"
Seeing Yang Wan turn to leave, Yang Wanfeng instantly became somewhat embarrassed and angry, gritting his teeth and saying, "Didn't I think I was determined to get the Recommendation Quota? Why would I bother to find out the significance of a gold medal?!"
"Besides, even if it's a heinous crime that disrupts the country, as long as the Yang family isn't directly held responsible, isn't that enough?"
"Have Mother turn herself in to the Bureau of the Qingyi Bureau, and then hand over those two Upper Seat Retainer to them. I don't believe they will besiege the Yang family!"
As he spoke, his breathing quickened and his face flushed, clearly indicating his considerable dissatisfaction with Yang Wan's attitude.
Yang Wan was absolutely furious with the person she once admired most.
That's his own mother, and the other party just gave up like that?!
Just as she was about to swear, several servants suddenly ran in from outside the courtyard, looking flustered.
"Something terrible has happened!"
Upon seeing Yang Wan and the other person, they knelt down with a thud and hurriedly cried out:
"Young master and young lady, over a hundred law enforcement officers from the Qingyi Bureau have arrived and have already surrounded the Yang family's residence!"
"They're demanding everyone from the Yang family come out. The Family Head is confronting them. You two should go and see!"
It's over...
At that moment, Yang Wan as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and her whole body almost collapsed to the ground.
Yang Wanfeng, standing to the side, was in a worse situation than her.
He stumbled and fell straight down onto the cold, hard ground with a dull thud.
His already flushed face turned deathly pale, completely devoid of color, as if all his life force had been drained from him. His teeth chattered incessantly, making a "clucking" sound, clearly indicating that he was terrified.
"What's going on? What are they trying to do!"
Yang Wanfeng shouted frantically, his voice filled with disbelief and despair.
He abruptly turned to look at Yang Wan, his lips trembling slightly, and asked in a trembling voice with extreme fear:
"Wan, Wan'er, what should we do? What should we do now?! Will the method I just mentioned work?!"
"How should I know?!" Yang Wan's voice was tinged with grief and indignation, and a hint of sobbing crept into it.
Thank you all for your support!
