Artificial hills and flowing water, house layout.
Nothing has changed.
Ye Qiubai walked towards the main house, turning his head to look around.
Meanwhile, members of the Ye Lineage passing by all stared at Ye Qiubai with varying expressions, whispering and discussing among themselves.
Most of the words spoken were unpleasant.
Although Ye Qiubai heard it, he didn't really care.
Let alone the fact that there's no need to get angry over a few words.
Why would you argue with someone who lives in a fantasy world?
Isn't this just plain insane?
"There are two types of illusions... the Illusion of Slaughter and the Heart-Questioning Illusion Realm. If it is an Illusion of Slaughter, you can only find its array base and break it to get out."
However, this seems more like Heart-Questioning Illusion Realm... It appears that this memory contains my inner demons; I must find and eliminate them.
Ye Qiubai had already figured out the intention of the person who set up the formation.
Using the Heart-Questioning Illusion Realm during this period is undoubtedly intended to shake his State of Mind and make him realize the meaning of failure.
It's unclear who orchestrated this scheme.
Ye Qiubai pondered for a long time, wondering who else in Yang Dao White Pool might still harbor resentment towards him.
Some inner demons remain on the surface, constantly lingering within the heart.
Some inner demons, however, lie hidden deep within, sealed away over time, and never revealed...
Ye Qiubai belongs to the latter category.
As we walked, we arrived at the main house.
When Ye Qiubai saw the middle-aged man standing at the very front, he couldn't help but smile.
The head of the family Ye Qing, is also Ye Qiubai's father.
On one side, several elders were also present. Among them, the First Elder, Ye Ling, said, "Patriarch, you must understand that Ye Qiubai has lost all his talent and is already a cripple! The Ye Lineage can no longer pour resources into him, even if he is your son!"
"The Grand Elder is right, and many people in the Lineage are dissatisfied with Ye Qiubai. Why not take advantage of this talent test to expel him from the Ye Lineage!"
"Moreover, it's not just the Jiang Lineage who have come this time; the eldest prince of the Sunset Dynasty Huang Tian Ming, has also arrived in Heavenly Origin City. Surely the family head knows what his purpose is?"
"We must consider the bigger picture!"
Ye Qiubai watched this scene. In his memory, he hadn't returned to the Ye Lineage the day before the talent test and only rushed back on the day itself. He never expected that his father would have gone through such a coup.
Ye Qing said with a stern face, "Do you think I don't know what you elders are thinking? Stop talking. My mind is made up. Even if he loses all his talent, he's still my son!"
After saying that, Ye Qing looked up and saw Ye Qiubai standing at the door. He paused for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and said, "Hey kid, when did you get back?"
Ye Qiubai smiled. "Just now."
"What happened just now..." Ye Qing's eyes were filled with heartache.
"I heard everything." Ye Qiubai's State of Mind was no longer what it used to be, and he didn't care at all about what the elders said.
Ye Qing glanced at Ye Qiubai suspiciously, then sighed, patted Ye Qiubai's shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, with your father here, you can stay at home in peace."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ling stepped forward and said, " Ye Qing, as the head of the family, how can you act so willfully? Don't you care about the Lineage's interests at all?!"
Ye Qing was about to say something.
Ye Qiubai then approached Ye Ling and asked calmly, "Where are Jiang Chan and Huang Tian Ming staying now?"
The abrupt shift in the topic caught everyone present off guard.
Ye Ling frowned and said, "Why are you asking this? That girl from the Jiang Lineage has already broken off your engagement. Are you going to go and humiliate yourself?"
Ye Qiubai stared into Ye Ling's eyes and repeated, "Where are they now?"
Meeting Ye Qiubai's eyes, Ye Ling's gaze froze, and he felt a chill run through his body, as if a sword were pointed at his heart. He could only subconsciously say, "At the Jiang Lineage..."
Ye Qiubai nodded, turned to look at Ye Qing, and smiled, "Don't worry."
Having said that, he disappeared from the spot.
Everyone present was startled when Ye Qiubai disappeared.
None of them noticed!
Could it be that his strength has been restored?
"Impossible. Even if he recovered, his original strength wouldn't have been enough to do this."
"Could it be Law Treasure brought out from that forbidden area?"
Ye Qing stared at the direction Ye Qiubai had disappeared in for a long time before shaking his head and chuckling, "You brat... But why did you change the jade pendant on your chest? Wasn't the previous one brought out from that forbidden area?"

In the blink of an eye, Ye Qiubai arrived at the Jiang Lineage.
Huang Tian Ming, Jiang Chan.
If inner demons exist during this period, then they can only be related to the two of them.
The Jiang Lineage now has many more spies.
They were all soldiers dressed in armor.
He was Huang Tian Ming's bodyguard.
Ye Qiubai moved among the guards, strolling leisurely through the Jiang Lineage compound, unnoticed by anyone.
Through their senses, they quickly located the place where Huang Tian Ming and Jiang Chan were.
Ye Qiubai instantly appeared inside the room where the two were, where guards were still standing outside the door.
Looking at Jiang Chan standing by the window, Ye Qiubai's eyes showed little emotion.
Huang Tian Ming sat at the table and said with a smile, "What, still thinking about Ye Qiubai?"
Jiang Chan's shoulders stiffened, and after a long pause, she shook her head and said, "No."
"You can't fool me." Huang Tian Ming stood up, walked to Jiang Chan's side, played with a strand of her hair, and said with a faint smile, "It's only natural, but I hope you'll behave yourself after tomorrow, since I will be ascending the throne someday."
Jiang Chan lowered her head and nodded slightly.
"Let's go." Huang Tian Ming pushed open the door and walked out.
Jiang Chan was slightly taken aback. "Where to?"
"Just come with me."
Jiang Chan followed.
Ye Qiubai also strolled over and followed.
Not long after, Huang Tian Ming took Jiang Chan away from the Jiang Lineage and Heavenly Origin City, stopping in a dense forest outside the city.
Ye Qiubai looked around and frowned slightly.
This is the place where I left my Lineage, was ambushed and killed, was rescued by my master, and became his disciple.
It's still vivid in my memory.
Jiang Chan then asked, "Why did you bring me here?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai's pupils contracted, as if he had realized something.
After Jiang Chan finished asking the question, her eyes rolled back and her pupils became unfocused, as if she had lost consciousness.
Seeing this, Huang Tian Ming pointed a finger at Jiang Chan's forehead, then took out a human skin mask and covered Jiang Chan's face.
There was no disguise involved; it's just that once the mask blended into her skin, Jiang Chan's eyes returned to normal, and it was not apparent from the surface that her mind had been controlled.
After doing all this, he left the place.
Ye Qiubai's fists gradually clenched.
As expected.
After Huang Tian Ming left, several men in black emerged from the dense forest and came to Jiang Chan's side.
One of the men in black asked, "What do you want us to do?"
Jiang Chan coldly said, "Ambush and kill Ye Qiubai here tomorrow."
