A young man emerged from behind Pang Bo, bearing a striking resemblance to Pang Bo and standing a full ten feet tall.
His name was Pang Lei, Pang Bo's eldest son. He really lived up to his name, with a voice as loud as thunder. There was anger on his face, and he said, "Uncle Ye, there are more than ten dandy ancient tribes who say that we are seeking favoritism. They are going to bring this matter to the palace. They also put down harsh words and said they want us to look good."
"What exactly happened?" Ye Fan frowned even more deeply and asked in a deep voice, sensing that things were not simple.
The twelve saints below the steps kept their eyes down, their noses down, their mouths down, and their hearts down, as if nothing was happening to them.
They were all elites of the Southern Dipper Star Sovereign's Mansion, so they weren't worried about this downsizing; no matter what they did, it wouldn't affect them.
Moreover, this matter was mainly caused by some of Pang Bo's relatives.
" Panzi, come here, tell your Grandpa Ye about this."
The man then summoned a short, stocky young man. Upon seeing Ye Fan, the latter burst into tears and knelt down to kowtow to Ye Fan.
"Thank God, I never had the honor of meeting Grandpa Ye. I, Xiao Pan, kowtow here!"
Ye Fan's face twitched. He didn't even have children yet, and now someone was calling him grandpa. But since this person was Pang Bo's relative, he could only shake his head and ask the person to keep it brief.
The latter rose in fear and trepidation, and began to denounce the excessive actions of some members of the Ancient Emperor Clans: their contempt for the Human Clan, their seizure of mining areas, their rampant nepotism, and their preparation to incite a great wave of hatred...
Seeing that the man's statement was clearly untrue, Ye Fan felt displeased. He narrowed his eyes and released a wisp of pressure that instantly froze the man, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
He then waved his hand, stopping the person who wanted to speak, and raised his chin. " Xiao Jinzi, you tell me, what exactly happened?"
The golden-haired star general whose name was called cursed inwardly. He, a dignified Golden Lion Star General of the Ninth Heaven of the Saint King Realm, was being treated like a eunuch. This despicable Ye Hei deserved to be struck down by his brother-in-law with the Void Mirror.
The Golden Lion reluctantly stepped forward, but revealed very little information.
It's simply that the Pang Family developed too quickly, and their members weren't paying attention, giving the Ancient Clans a handle to use against them.
"Uncle Ye, those people did it on purpose, trying to make a small matter into a big one, and a big matter into a disaster. Their intentions are despicable..." Pang Lei said indignantly, and was about to say something when Golden Lion ruthlessly interrupted him.
This is no small matter!
The slender, elven female Elf Clan, clad in a suit of Great Luo Silver Essence Armor, coldly remarked, "When one attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. These people's underhanded dealings are one thing, but to be discovered is the most foolish thing of all. Pang Bo, you should really put some order on your good-for-nothing children."
For some reason, Ye Fan felt relieved upon hearing this. If it were just a few juniors engaging in underhanded dealings, he could have suppressed it.
I'm afraid things will get out of control.
It's alright for now, it's not a big deal.
Feeling somewhat uncomfortable under the gazes of the others, Pang Bo remained silent, contrary to his usual behavior.
It differs from the original timeline.
In this Lifetime, Pang Bo returned to Earth too early, met his parents, and was forced by them to go on blind dates and get married. He had several children and had many worries.
Knowing his good brother well, Ye Fan naturally knew what the other was worried about. He dismissed everyone in the hall, leaving only his old friend.
When the two were alone, Pang Bo finally revealed the truth.
" Yezi, this matter is with Uncle Ye..."
Which Uncle Ye?
Ye Fan raised an eyebrow, then suddenly realized. "My father, wasn't he supposed to be in seclusion cultivating Daoism and detached from worldly affairs? What's going on?"
Pang Bo kept rubbing his hands together, pursed his lips, and then reluctantly continued his story:
It turns out that Ye Fan's father became obsessed with Daoist practices after learning about them during the Dharma Ending Age. He was later taken in by a Daoist priest who taught him profound skills.
Kunlun regained its name, the Earth Star changed, and Elder Ye followed the sect into the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Everything is normal up to this point...
Until thirty years ago, Ye Fan became famous throughout the Starry Sky Ancient Road and was appreciated by the Lord of the Deep, instantly becoming a star on the Emperor's Road and his status soared.
As a result, Elder Ye also received a raise, and a cultivator at the First Heaven of the Immortal Platform became an elder of the Great Saint Sage Sect.
However, none of this matters. As the father of the Star Sovereign, no one can say anything if he grants some preferential treatment; it's all within the bounds of the rules.
"The key point is that Uncle Ye had been involved with a vixen for a long time and they had two children. That vixen was actually a wild pheasant spirit who had several partners before. After getting together with Uncle Ye, she always acted like your stepmother and went around the Thirty-Three Heavens begging for favors..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's mind went blank, and his face turned pale and then red.
At that moment, he thought of many things, the first being the story of Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji, and even worse conjectures that followed.
He's lived a life of integrity and upright conduct, but this time he's probably going to suffer a terrible fate.
Why didn't you tell me sooner!
The next moment, a roar unique to the Sacred Body resounded from outside the hall. Golden blood energy soared into the sky, like Demon Lord from heaven. Truly a god of war on earth, an asteroid from beyond the realm exploded, scattering dust everywhere.
The Desolate Ancient Sacred Body of the Great Saint Realm is so powerful!
The twelve constellation generals trembled and shivered. The mocking expression on their faces completely disappeared, and they became even more awe-inspiring towards this Southern Dipper Star Sovereign.
The other younger members were even more distraught, kneeling directly before the palace gates.
Inside the temple, Ye Fan's hair stood on end, and golden flames flickered in his eyes, a chilling killing intent.
It was all caused by that pheasant spirit!
During the Warring States period, Lü Buwei invested in Yiren of Qin.
His father was recognized early on as someone destined for greatness.
At that time, the Earth Star had not yet changed. When Ye's father went to a famous Daoist mountain, an old pheasant recognized his talent and thought he was no ordinary person. So he warmly entertained him. After drinking, the pheasant became drunk and forced his granddaughter to have sex with him. He then forced her to stay and became his son-in-law.
Back then, Elder Ye was over fifty years old, had not yet entered the Daoist path, and his appearance was fading. He was seduced by the eighteen-year-old Zhi Ji, and it was inevitable that he would become infatuated with her...
Later, when Ye Fan achieved great success, Zhi Ji became worried, fearing that Ye Fan would settle scores for his past actions. After all, they had seduced Ye's father and even whipped and tormented him when he didn't want to become a live-in son-in-law, leaving him with no choice but to agree to the marriage.
Therefore, she dared not show herself in the early stages. It was only after she gave birth to two sons for Ye's father that she gradually gained confidence, identified herself as Ye Fan's mother, and became a noblewoman, associating with many Saint...
" Yezi, don't be impulsive. Uncle Ye has also gone astray. Just let him discipline that person properly..."
Chapter 695 My life is already a path to Tongtian, why bother with the arduous study of the Great Cave Book?
Thirty-three heavens, south of the Kun Realm, there you see: purple as mountainsides, high as clouds. At dawn, clouds shroud the mountaintops; at dusk, the sun hangs among the trees. Streams murmur like jade pendants, and springs drip like zithers.
It is indeed a place of scenic beauty!
A golden cloud swept by, carrying a few extraordinary nine-colored rays of light, crossing the sky like the wind blowing through the pine trees last night, gracefully straddling the Jade Mountain.
The young man nimbly landed on the cloud, cast a spell towards the mountain wall ahead, and whispered, "Open the door! Open the door!"
The noise startled a seven or eight-year-old boy who was guarding the door. He opened the half-open door and said with a grin, "Good brother, why are you only coming back now?"
The man didn't answer, only saying, "Go in."
After passing seven or eight palaces, peeking inside, they saw a man in blue robes sitting high in the center. He wore a bronze crown and looked to be in his thirties. He had handsome features, but a few wisps of gray on his brows made him look less imposing.
The lamplight flickered, and a woman sat in the man's lap.
Do you know what she looks like?
But there she was: snow- Ruyu, shimmering with a rosy glow, a cloud-emerald red dress adorned with large pieces of Great Luo Silver Essence, a beauty that could topple kingdoms, Weiwei delicate and alluring presence, her face like Wang Qiang's, her features like a Chu maiden. She was as beautiful as a flower, as fragrant as jade. Her skirt partially revealed her small, arched shoes, her emerald sleeves slightly parted, revealing her long, slender wrists. Her fitted jade dress shimmered with a thousand shades of red and white, but even more captivating were her two long, gracefully moving, snow-white legs, encircling her, an indescribable allure.
The young man barged in; his appearance somewhat resembled the Daoist priest, but the other was middle-aged, while he was sixteen or seventeen. Upon seeing him, he respectfully kowtowed and prostrated himself, saying, "I kowtow to my father and mother."
The demoness looked up sweetly, saw the newcomer, and couldn't help but laugh, "My child, get up quickly, we're all family, no need for such formalities."
The Daoist priest, who had kept his eyes closed, opened them at this moment, but he was completely different from the fox demon.
My son has always been arrogant, but now he's showing some manners...
He frowned and said in a deep voice, " Xiao Er, you should be in the Ancient Domain right now. Why have you come back?"
Upon hearing the Daoist priest's words, the man pursed his lips, remained silent for a moment, and then revealed his true thoughts.
"Don't want to leave the Great Luo Heaven? If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"
A reprimanding voice echoed from the cave. Ignoring his wife's pleas, the Daoist priest yanked open the fox's tail, his voice filled with exasperation, "I've always told you to live a law-abiding life, but instead, you've been doing all sorts of illegal and disorderly things. Now that you've been caught, and we're letting you go, you can't bear to part with Luo Heaven..."
The more he spoke, the angrier he became. The Daoist raised his palm, as if to punish him.
The female demon, upon seeing this, rushed over, her fair cheeks turning pale, and cried, "Master, hitting him is the same as hitting me! Besides, it's nothing serious, just a minor post, a mere subordinate general of the Big Dipper Kaiyang Prefecture of the Big Dipper, a sesame seed-sized official position. Why can't my son take it...?"
But the Daoist priest remained unmoved, coldly watching his own flesh and blood, insisting that his son kneel before the Big Dipper Lord's Hall and reveal all the shady and unsavory things.
"Look at you, being competitive is one thing, but you just have to show off!"
"What good man doesn't rely on his own abilities? Who talks about their 'Star Sovereign Lord' brother like you every day? If you're truly capable, earn your own status instead of coming back to worry your parents..."
As if his sore spot had been hit, the young man gritted his teeth, stiffened his neck, and after a long silence, still said defiantly, "Father, how can you blame me? If I had the Sacred Body, how could I have lost to that brat from the Supreme Purity Sect? Why is it that my eldest brother has the Sacred Body, while my third son and I didn't inherit such a powerful bloodline!"
"You... you..."
Enraged by his own son's retort, the Daoist priest was speechless for a moment. He brandished a long, black gold staff, intending to beat this good-for-nothing Baoyu to death, just like Jia Zheng in "Dream of the Red Chamber."
He was truly furious. His own son had caused a huge disaster without even realizing it, forcing him to swallow his pride and clean up the mess for the younger generation.
"You beast, kneel down!"
I was already kneeling down.
Faced with the reprimand, the young man knelt on the ground, prepared to be beaten.
Seeing her husband use his divine power, the female demon jumped up, her chest heaving, her eyes filled with anger, and she cursed, "You old bastard, this is a sacred artifact given to you by the Saint of the Supreme Purity Sect, and you actually used it to hit my son!"
The female demon was heartbroken for her eldest son. She jumped up and down, cursing and hitting him, constantly tearing at the man's Daoist robe, scratching her ears and cheeks, a stark contrast to her previous gentle demeanor.
It's true, it was originally a treasure of a famous mountain for centuries, but it forced a mortal to become its son-in-law.
However, the son of the live-in son-in-law later became famous throughout the land, which elevated his status, but the power imbalance between the woman and the man in this marriage remained unchanged.
"You slut surnamed Ye, all these years, you've eaten my food, used my things, slept in my bed, and been eating and sleeping for free? I worked so hard to give you a son, and you can't even find a good place for him."
"You heartless bastard! You were half-dead back then, and I gave myself to you when I was sixteen. You promised to take responsibility, and this is how you treat us now?"
"It's pitiful for us, mother and three, to be looked down upon even in this Great Luo Heaven. It's all because you, the head of the household, are incompetent!" the female demon cried out.
Was he trying to find a way out for himself?
The Daoist in green was furious and said, "He brought over all his cronies, including a dog demon from the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm. Does he even have the strength to become the Lord of the Lower Realm Spirit Mountain?"
"You scoundrels, so this is how you view my relatives, you old fool? We're rich now!" The fox demon was even angrier, constantly pinching the Daoist's soft flesh at the waist. The latter didn't utter a sound, just endured it, while scolding his son for using connections to get ahead.
"Father, isn't this Great Luo Heaven just such an environment?"
"Look at those Wang Clan, all so arrogant. Are we, the Ye Family, any less so?"
"I heard that a palace master once said that my elder brother will surely achieve great things in the future. Our family will become Immortal of the Foreign Realm family. If we help our relatives, they can also act as a shield to protect us. Throughout history, which royal family or imperial family hasn't done this?" Ye Er said, expressing all his thoughts.
