Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 15
Chapter 15: Yan Ruyue
Ye Yu? Ye Qingshuang didn’t understand how this matter was related to that good-for-nothing.
But seeing that Cang Yun didn’t intend to say more, she didn’t ask further, only waiting until dawn to go to Liu Manor to find Ye Yu and ask about it.
The night passed without incident. Only when the sun rose the next day did Ye Yu slowly wake up from his meditative state.
Si Tu Guang was guarding the downstairs hall at that moment. He hadn’t rushed to take the Life-Giving Profound Yuan Pill; it wasn’t the right time yet. He planned to take it after returning to Great Qin and then close himself off for cultivation.
Qin Ruoxian had also woken up. Sitting beside Si Tu Guang, she seemed absent-minded, a trace of worry occasionally appearing in her eyes.
What if Ye Yu changed his mind after seeing Liu Ruyun?
Just as she was thinking this, the upstairs door opened, and Ye Yu appeared. Looking downstairs, his gaze met Qin Ruoxian’s, and he gave a warm smile.
“Are you planning to go to Liu Manor now? ” Qin Ruoxian softly asked.
“Yes, the two days are up. Since she’s not sending it back, I’ll go get it myself,” Ye Yu smiled, his expression calm.
“I’ll go with you,” Qin Ruoxian said after some thought. Si Tu Guang, who was beside them, didn’t say anything. He was an old hand; he could naturally see that there was only a thin veil between the two of them, a veil yet unpierced.
Ye Yu shook his head and said, “I’ll go myself. Now that the matter isn’t resolved, if you go with me, it will inevitably damage your reputation as the Ninth Princess of Great Qin and invite gossip. ”
“I don’t care! ” Qin Ruoxian pouted.
“But I do,” Ye Yu reached out and rubbed Qin Ruoxian’s head, then said again, “If you want to go, you can go with Mr. Si Tu later. ”
After saying this, Ye Yu turned and left the inn, heading towards Liu Manor alone.
Seeing this, Qin Ruoxian was about to follow, but Si Tu Guang stopped her, “Princess, listen to Mr. Ye. Don’t worry, what’s yours won’t run away. ”
Hearing Si Tu Guang’s suggestive words, Qin Ruoxian blushed, turned her head away, and didn’t speak again.
At that moment, Liu Manor, since the sun rose, had been unusually lively.
These past two days, Liu Ruyun hadn’t been at Liu Manor. Instead, she had gone to the major clans of Great Yan, and even to surrounding Sects, inviting many influential figures.
She wanted to make a big fuss, to make it known to everyone, to let the whole of Great Yan, and even the whole of Qingzhou, know that she, Liu Ruyun, didn’t want Ye Yu.
To prevent Ye Yu from using her identity to swindle people in the future.
Those who were invited naturally knew Liu Ruyun’s intentions, but they were even more eager to see what the former Crown Prince of Great Yan had become.
Currently, Great Yan was in the ascendant, and the Great Yan Imperial Family’s position was also rising rapidly. They didn’t mind adding insult to injury, trying to curry favor with the Great Yan Imperial Family.
Liu Tiannan was currently sitting in the center of the hall, looking at the various powerful figures below, and nodding with satisfaction. In just a few years, the Liu Family had developed from an unknown small clan to this! He was very satisfied!
“Thank you all for accepting my invitation today. It brings honor to my face, Liu Tiannan! ” Liu Tiannan rose and said politely.
The people below responded politely, but secretly belittled this ingrate in their hearts.
Relying on Ye Yu to develop the Liu Family to this point, and now that he had fallen from power, they hastily distanced themselves, making such a big show of it. If that’s not an ingrate, what is?
“Ye Xuan, Crown Prince of Great Yan, Ye Qingwan, and Ye Qingshuang, Third Princess of Great Yan, have arrived! ”
Suddenly, a loud announcement rang out, and three figures slowly walked into the hall.
Everyone present, including Liu Tiannan, rose at this moment and bowed to the three, for now that Emperor Ye Fan of Great Yan was absent, these three represented the Great Yan Imperial Family.
Hearing the greetings, Ye Xuan gave a confident smile and stepped forward to say to Liu Tiannan, “Uncle Liu, where is Sister Ruyun? ”
Seeing Ye Xuan speak like this, Liu Tiannan was overjoyed. The Crown Prince’s attitude was truly giving him face. He immediately smiled, “Ruyun is in the back hall talking to a disciple from Qingyun Sect. ”
Speaking of Qingyun Sect, Liu Tiannan’s back straightened even more.
Qingyun Sect was a force no weaker than the Great Yan Dynasty. Experts were abundant within the Sect; it was rumored that there were no fewer than ten Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, but unlike the Great Yan Dynasty, they generally didn’t interfere with worldly affairs.
But a disciple of Qingyun Sect was now at Liu Manor; the implication was self-evident.
The Liu Family was about to soar to the heavens!
Ye Xuan’s eyes shone brightly. After a few polite words, he went straight to the back hall. Those were disciples of Qingyun Sect; if he could cultivate a good relationship with them, it would be advantageous.
Arriving at the back hall, Ye Xuan indeed saw Liu Ruyun and a woman in white sitting in a gazebo talking, so he eagerly stepped forward and said, “Sister Ruyun, I’m here. ”
Seeing Ye Xuan, a happy smile bloomed on Liu Ruyun’s face. She quickly pulled Ye Xuan over and introduced, “Xiaoxuan, let me introduce you. This is Yan Ruyue, the Senior Disciple of Qingyun Sect. ”
“Senior Martial Sister Yan, this is the Crown Prince of Great Yan, Ye Xuan. ”
Yan Ruyue glanced at Ye Xuan and nodded slightly, considering it a greeting.
With just one glance at Yan Ruyue, Ye Xuan was immediately struck by her beauty. The five princesses of Great Yan, and even Liu Ruyun, could be considered stunningly beautiful, but compared to Yan Ruyue, they paled in comparison. Yan Ruyue possessed a detached aura that the other women lacked.
But Ye Xuan quickly recovered his composure. He caught the key point from Liu Ruyun’s words and said with surprise, “Sister Ruyun, you just called Sister Ruyue your Senior Martial Sister. Did you join Qingyun Sect?!”
Liu Ruyun smiled and nodded, her brows full of pride.
Yan Ruyue felt a little annoyed by Ye Xuan’s address, but she didn’t mind too much. Coming to Great Yan, one thing was to stand up for her not-yet-official Junior Martial Sister; another was to find someone.
She had been ambushed by members of the Bl00d Demon Clan and had been afflicted with Bl00d Poison, almost losing her life. Luckily, she was at the Great Yan Border at the time and received treatment from a young man.
But it wasn’t completely cured. For the whole year since returning to Qingyun Sect, there had been no solution. Now she sensed that the Bl00d Poison within her body was showing signs of a sudden outbreak, so she came to the Great Yan Dynasty.
In the backyard, they were chatting happily.
The front hall, however, fell into an eerie silence.
Besides Ye Qingwan and Ye Qingshuang who were seated at the head, many princes and princesses of the Great Yan Dynasty were also present.
While everyone was still marveling at the great influence of the Liu Family, they suddenly noticed something wrong; Ye Qingwan seemed to be at odds with them.
The entire hall was filled with tension.
And in this tense atmosphere, a slender figure gradually approached the Liu Manor gates and slowly walked into the Liu Manor hall under everyone’s gaze. It was Ye Yu.
Ye Yu, seeing this situation, didn’t feel surprised. He looked at Liu Tiannan and said calmly, “Please hand over the Autumn Water Sword. “
