Chapter 1358: Chapter 1358: Are You Sure You’re Not Joking With Me? (3 Updates)
"What does the House Holder mean?" Long Kaize looked at Long Wei with some confusion.
In his memory, anything that could be resolved with force, Long Wei would never use any other means. Today, Long Wei’s behavior was very odd, leaving him somewhat puzzled.
"Why are you so stupid!" Long Wei said with a tone of disappointment, "Even ordinary people know how to use the law to protect themselves. Do you not know?"
Upon hearing this, Long Kaize’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed mischievously: "I get it! As long as we lure Ye Haochuan to make the first move, preferably get him to kill a few low-level cultivators, then get the inspection group involved to deal with him!"
"A promising student!" Long Wei nodded approvingly and said, "So, how do you plan to lure him to make a move?"
"That’s easy, just capture his parents and family, then he won’t dare not act! When he kills those cultivators, there will be no evidence!" Long Kaize proclaimed confidently.
Pft~
Long Wei nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Wasn’t Yang Quan just thinking of this idea earlier? And what was the result? Not only did it fail to kill Ye Haochuan, but it nearly cost Yang Quan his life at Ye Haochuan’s hands.
Ye Haochuan’s frantic demeanor back then still left a lingering fear in him.
He didn’t have a defensive talisman personally written by Yang Sen, nor would anyone consider his status to protect him. If he really went through with it, Ye Haochuan would surely kill him on the spot.
"What’s wrong, House Holder?" Long Kaize felt Long Wei was very peculiar today and quickly asked.
"Nothing, nothing!" Long Wei waved his hand and said, "Capturing someone’s parents and family is too malicious, it would harm the dignity of the Long Family. We should think of another way!"
"Oh!" Long Kaize was completely dumbfounded. Long Wei rejected both options, leaving him unable to think of a good plan.
Long Wei also noticed Long Kaize’s difficulty and suddenly laughed: "If we can’t force him to act, we can entice him instead. Why can’t your brain figure that out?"
Upon hearing this, Long Kaize rejoiced and said, "Understood, I’ll go find out what Ye Haochuan currently desires!"
Long Wei nodded and let Long Kaize leave.
"Ye Haochuan, you are constantly opposing my Long Family, don’t blame me for this. If I don’t show you some colors, you’ll truly believe my Long Family is easy to bully?" Long Wei laughed sinisterly.
Previously, Ye Haochuan clashed with him, which made him hold a grudge. Additionally, Ye Haochuan’s undermining of a cosmetics company belonging to the Long Family gave him more reason to deal with Ye Haochuan.
...
Lijing Garden, the three people including Ye Haochuan had already been brought back by Long Xiaotian.
Xiao Haimei and Han Xue’er had been worried waiting at home. Seeing Ye Haochuan and the others return safely finally put their minds at ease.
However, Ye Haochuan’s still pale face made them very concerned.
After Long Xiaotian left, Ye Haochuan rested for an entire day before his physical injuries were mostly healed.
Su Yingxue had already woken up safely, knowing she was rescued in the final moments, she cried incessantly. Ye Haochuan persuaded her for a while before she calmed down.
Through this incident, Ye Haochuan’s desire to buy a large villa was reignited. Living in a noisy residential area made it difficult to arrange for guardians to protect them.
After this event, Tong Xiangxiu also fully understood. Ye Haochuan’s status had become different now; even if they lived in a slum, they would still be discovered.
Rather than living here, creating hidden dangers for Ye Haochuan, it would be better to find a separate place to live.
After the group discussed, they decided to look for a small villa near the Long Alliance base. Ye Haochuan also had Huo Mengyao arrange for two Foundation Establishment Mid to Late Stage cultivators to guard around the small villa.
As for Yang Hong, Chen Yushan, and Kou Jing, since Kou Jing was a mid-stage Foundation Establishment expert, they didn’t want to relocate, so Ye Haochuan didn’t force them, just had An Li arrange for someone to keep an eye on them.
Zhao Bingqian and her sister were also in the Imperial Capital; Ye Haochuan obviously couldn’t favor one over the other, so he had Kou Jing find two people in Dragon Shadow to protect them secretly.
The reason for not using Long Alliance personnel is because not many people know Zhao Bingqian and her sister are Ye Haochuan’s women. Using Long Alliance people would inadvertently reveal this.
As long as they are not associated with Ye Haochuan, Zhao Bingqian and her sister would be safer.
The villa arrangements were naturally handled by Xiao Haimei and Han Xue’er, who were executives, while Ye Haochuan didn’t attend this time but instead went to Long Xiaotian’s home.
He’s not visiting because he misses Long Xiaotian but because of Yige.
Since leaving the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm last time, Yige has been cultivating in Long Xiaotian’s courtyard. Now that he plans to buy a villa and needs to ensure Tong Xiangxiu and others are safer, he thought of Yige first.
So long without seeing, who knows what level of cultivation Yige has reached now.
Ye Haochuan was practically half a host at Long Xiaotian’s home, so naturally, no one would stop him. When he reached where Yige was, he found Long Xiaotian there as well.
At this moment, Long Xiaotian was sitting cross-legged beside Yige, using his spiritual energy to nurture Yige.
Ye Haochuan then noticed that Yige’s once lush branches and leaves were now bare. Not even a single yellow leaf remained.
"What happened? Could someone have attacked it?" Ye Haochuan asked anxiously.
"What do you mean someone attacked? Haven’t you ever heard of Nirvana?" Long Xiaotian said, irritated.
Ye Haochuan’s heart was instantly relieved; being attacked by no one means there is no major danger, right?
"But wait, didn’t Yige undergo Nirvana last time at the Lei Tree People territory? Why does it need Nirvana again?" Ye Haochuan asked, puzzled.
"What you mentioned was the major Nirvana, which causes a fundamental change in the Tree People Clan’s physique. Yige is now undergoing a minor Nirvana..."
After Long Xiaotian’s brief explanation, Ye Haochuan finally understood the whole situation.
This minor Nirvana essentially represents the spring growth and autumn fall cycle of trees, the four-stage cycle. But Tree People differ from ordinary trees in that their leaves and branches don’t change with the seasons but with their cultivation.
In other words, Yige is currently in a crucial phase of breakthrough.
"Is this about to enter Foundation Establishment?" Ye Haochuan was delighted internally; Yige was previously at Innate Mid-Stage cultivation, after Nirvana in the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm, starting cultivation anew, unexpectedly progressing to Foundation Establishment so quickly.
"What Foundation Establishment? This is Core Formation!" Long Xiaotian said discontentedly.
"What? Are you sure you’re not joking with me?" Ye Haochuan looked incredulous.
What a joke, Yige was only at Innate Mid-Stage two months ago. Core Formation in two months; isn’t the cultivation speed almost comparable to Ye Haochuan’s?
Not to boast, Ye Haochuan never met anyone whose cultivation speed could match his. Even the five great talents wouldn’t be this fast.
"Tree People’s physique is inherently different from humans. Besides, it is a Tree Person with perfect Nirvana." Long Xiaotian said, pouting, "Moreover, did you think all the spiritual energy I used was for nothing?"
