Chapter 1186: Chapter 1186: Xu Nian the Villain
Xu Nian quickly arrived at the Ye Family with Ye Xuan and the others.
The Ye Family was still located at Wu Emperor Mountain.
Xu Nian entered the Ye Family’s territory with Ye Xuan.
The young disciples of the Ye Family looked at Xu Nian with eyes full of pity.
"Another one sent to his death. Perhaps there are dozens of cultivators who have been tormented to death by Ye Xuan already."
"So what? Ye Xuan has a powerful talent and is the granddaughter of the Supreme Elder. Who dares to meddle with her?"
"Alas, let her be. Who knows if this guy can last a day?"
...
The disciples of the Ye Family were buzzing with discussion, both revering and fearing Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan was also considered a great beauty of the Ye Family, and many young men of the Ye Family admired her.
However, her unruly and wilful nature made the young men of the Ye Family not dare to have any thoughts about her.
"What are you looking at? Get lost and cultivate, or do you want me to drag you into sparring?" Ye Xuan yelled.
The young men of the Ye Family instantly scattered in fright.
Being her sparring partner, isn’t that asking for death?
"A bunch of useless people," Ye Xuan said disdainfully, seeing them scatter.
Xu Nian smiled helplessly at this; she was still a little princess in temperament.
"What are you smiling at? Be careful, or I’ll throw you into the Snake Cave," Ye Xuan threatened.
The mention of the Snake Cave changed the expressions of the surrounding Ye Family guards.
The Ye Family knew that Miss Ye Xuan raised three terrifying demon beasts of the Snake Clan, all Marquis Level and extremely ferocious.
Whenever Ye Xuan got bored, she would have people thrown into the Snake Cave.
Xu Nian had no choice but to pretend he was afraid and stayed silent.
"Useless, only my brother Ye Guyun is the real strong fighter," Ye Xuan said disdainfully.
"Ye Guyun? Wasn’t he the number one genius of the Ye Family? Scared away by himself back then, I wonder how his strength is now?" Xu Nian thought to himself, his eyes becoming more amused.
Seeing Xu Nian scared, Ye Xuan showed a contemptuous look and continued leading Xu Nian to her place.
But just as Xu Nian and they were about to reach Ye Xuan’s place, a beautiful and dignified woman walked toward them.
Xu Nian immediately recognized the woman.
Yes, this was Ye Lan whom he had met before.
Back at the Demon Emperor’s Tomb, Ye Lan attacked him, and Xu Nian broke her heart meridian with one palm.
However, he did not kill her. Seeing Ye Lan again now, Xu Nian wondered if she still held a grudge against him.
Of course, even if Ye Lan resented him, Xu Nian was not afraid.
Now Ye Lan had reached the Six-star War Emperor Level, making her one of the top fighters in the Ye Family.
"Sister Ye Lan, Sister Ye Lan, where are you going?" Ye Xuan cheerfully called when she saw Ye Lan.
"I just got back from completing a mission, and I went to report to the Family Head. Ye Xuan, are you out capturing people again?" Ye Lan said reproachfully.
Though her tone was reproachful, there was a hint of fondness in her eyes.
Ye Xuan stuck out her tongue and said, "Sister Ye Lan, you know that I’m just too bored. Grandfather won’t let me leave the Imperial Capital. I’m really losing my mind. How about next time you take me on your mission?" Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up.
"No way, my missions are extremely dangerous. If you go, you won’t be able to protect yourself," Ye Lan flatly refused.
"Please, Sister Ye Lan, my good sister," Ye Xuan immediately pouted.
Ye Lan was helpless and could only agree, "Alright, next time when I have a mission that isn’t dangerous, I’ll take you along."
"Great! Thank you, Sister Ye Lan," Ye Xuan shouted excitedly.
"But you must promise me not to capture people off the street again, or you’ll suffer for it one day," Ye Lan said reproachfully.
"Got it, Sister Ye Lan, I promise this is the last time," Ye Xuan said, sticking out her tongue.
Ye Lan smiled and turned her gaze toward Xu Nian standing behind Ye Xuan.
At first, she didn’t pay attention to the person Ye Xuan brought back. In her mind, even if Ye Xuan captured a talented family’s disciple, the Ye Family could handle it.
After all, the Ye Family now was not what it used to be.
But when she saw that familiar face, all the hair on her body stood up, and she broke out in a cold sweat, staring at Xu Nian.
"Long time no see? Ye Lan?" Xu Nian said with a smile.
Ye Lan was even more frightened upon hearing Xu Nian’s greeting.
Now she was certain that this young man was indeed Xu Nian, who once stirred up waves in the Empire.
Wasn’t he supposed to have left the continent? How could he return?
"Sister Ye Lan, do you know him?" Ye Xuan asked in surprise.
Unexpectedly, this young man actually knew Sister Ye Lan?
In her view, her Sister Ye Lan was incredibly noble, a genius of the entire Empire.
How could this guy possibly be connected to Sister Ye Lan?
Ye Lan didn’t pay attention to Ye Xuan’s words but instead looked at Xu Nian and asked, "What are you doing at the Ye Family? We didn’t pursue the events of that year."
"No need to be nervous. I was only brought here by your sister, not here of my own accord. As long as the Ye Family doesn’t trouble me, I naturally won’t trouble your Ye Family," Xu Nian replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Ye Lan breathed a sigh of relief.
This guy wasn’t here for revenge. If he targeted the Ye Family, it would be a disaster indeed.
Back when Xu Nian destroyed the Xia Family, toppling dynasties, they had experienced it firsthand.
She knew better than anyone that the man in front of her was an Asura.
"Then go, I apologize on behalf of my sister. She’s still a child, doesn’t understand things, please don’t take it to heart," Ye Lan immediately said.
"No way, he’s my prey. How can I let him go so easily? Sister Ye Lan, is he your friend?" Before Xu Nian could answer, Ye Lan spoke up first.
She always felt this prey was different and wanted to torment him. How could she easily let go?
Ye Lan felt a headache, afraid Xu Nian would be angry.
She turned to Ye Xuan and said, "Ye Xuan, have you ever heard of someone named Xu Nian?"
"I know. Sister Ye Lan, didn’t you say this Xu Nian guy is a big demon, extremely ugly, and very cruel, a deviant villain, not only killing so many of our Ye Family’s talents but also crippling Brother Ye Yun, an evil person guilty of heinous crimes," Ye Xuan said with hatred.
Ye Lan’s expression turned black, and she glanced at Xu Nian.
Xu Nian’s expression was also quite colorful, finding it both funny and annoying.
A big demon?
Ugly appearance?
A lustful demon?
Was this Ye Lan’s evaluation of him?
"Sister Ye Lan, rest assured, even if this Xu Nian demon is strong, once I, Ye Xuan, gain power, I’ll surely destroy him to avenge our Ye Family’s past disgrace," Ye Xuan said again proudly.
"Enough, don’t say any more. This is the very Xu Nian you mentioned," Ye Lan quickly interrupted Ye Xuan.
"What?" Ye Xuan was taken aback, taking three steps back as she looked at Xu Nian.
Xu Nian could only smile wryly. Was he really that terrifying?
