Volume 2: Wu Enters Witchcraft Chapter 52: Return to the Imperial Palace

  Su Jiaojiao hesitated for a moment and said: "Young master, your injury hasn't healed yet..."

  "This injury is nothing serious, it will heal in three or four days at most."

  Ye Xuan's body was severely injured, with blood and bone fragments oozing out of his skin, and he fell to the ground.

  These shattered bones were fragments of his scapula, hidden in the flesh and extremely difficult to remove. He had cultivated his physical body to the realm of Innate, making it incredibly strong, and these shattered bones were squeezed out from his muscles by the power of his Innate physique!

  His fractured scapula transmitted a numb and itchy feeling, but it was his vital energy continuously repairing the broken bone, dissolving blood stasis, and mending the injury.

  "The horse owner gave me two weapons, just in time!" Su Jiaojiao exclaimed excitedly as she turned around and walked back into the room.

  Ye Xu couldn't help but feel curious, and when he finished packing his luggage, he saw the servant girl walking out with two war hammers.

  These two war hammers were enormous, cast entirely in bronze, with green hammer heads covered in patterns of green stripes, looking from a distance like two large watermelons, weighing at least 100-200 kilograms.

  Ye Xue helplessly said: "Qiao Qiao, we're just going to the inner court to retrieve our house, not to kill people."

  Su Jiaojiao wielded her watermelon hammer, exuding a fierce aura: "Armed and prepared, never caught off guard. Young master, let's go!"

  Two people walked into Ye's residence, surrounded by strange and curious glances that fell upon them.

  Su Jiaojiao felt a bit apprehensive and said in a low voice, "Young Master, we are still slaves, coming to the inner court to ask Sixth Master for a house, isn't that too presumptuous? Won't they drive us away?"

  "Arrogant? I can be even more arrogant!"

  Ye Xue walked up to the courtyard that originally belonged to him, kicked open the large gate with one foot and strode in calmly.

  "Who dares to barge into Master Liu's courtyard? Kicking open Master Liu's door, you've got quite a nerve, are you tired of living?"

  Seven or eight family slaves heard the disturbance and immediately rushed out, holding knives and surrounding them. One of the older slaves shouted loudly: "Do you know where this is?"

  Su Jiaojiao was extremely tense, tightly grasping the watermelon hammer, ready to go into battle at any moment.

  Ye Xu's face was calm and he ignored the family slaves, but the old slave obviously recognized him, his eyes flickering, not daring to move.

  "Yè Xù, what brings you here?"

  After a moment, Ye Feng walked out of the inner courtyard, his face pale, looking at him with malice and sneering: "Is this also a place where people like you can come?"

  Ye Xue gazed greedily at the familiar scenery around him, having lived here for fourteen years. He smiled and said, "Sixth Brother, thanks for taking care of my old house these days. Now that I'm back, you can scram."

  "How dare you! You dare to speak to Master Liu like that, and not slap yourself in the face?" The old slave's courage was boosted with Ye Feng by his side, and he spoke sternly.

  Bang!

  Ye Feng suddenly turned around and gave him a heavy slap in the face. The old slave's mouth was bleeding, standing still on the spot, not knowing why he had been slapped.

  Ye Feng's face was gloomy, and he looked at Ye Xu with a cold gaze.

  He was very clear in his mind that Ye Xuan dared to come here, he must have relied on something. Coupled with the news of Ye Li's death not long ago, he dared to confirm that Ye Xuan had already entered the realm of Wudao Xiantian, and might even have become a Wu Shi!

  In the Ye Fu, as long as one becomes a Wu Shi, they possess the great power to kill or spare lives, and even slaves can break free from their slave status, instantly becoming an existence that can sit on equal footing with the inner court's Wu Shi!

  This old slave can't see the current situation clearly, and actually lets Ye Xu slap himself, it's obviously looking for trouble!

  "Lao Qi, if I don't move away, will you kill me?" Ye Feng licked his lips and said in a low voice.

  Ye Xue smiled slightly, revealing his snow-white teeth, and said softly: "Sixth brother, what do you think?"

  Ye Feng saw his expression and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. He dared to be sure that if he insisted on not leaving, Ye Xu would definitely take action to kill him, without even frowning!

  Ye Xuruo thought of killing him, one move would be enough.

  Although he had a strong father, Ye Siyan was not here.

  "Let's go!" Ye Feng didn't dare stay any longer and strode outwards.

  The other family slaves hastily followed, fleeing in disarray.

  Ye Xuan blocked their path, saying calmly: "Sixth brother, didn't you hear clearly? I told you to scram, not walk."

  "You!"

  Ye Feng's body shook with rage, his eyes spewing out flames of anger, his fists clenched tightly. After a while, he suddenly burst into laughter and said: "Fine, I'll leave... Old Seventh, you must be careful not to fall into my hands!" With that, he really bent down and rolled out of the courtyard.

  Su Jiaojiao put down the two watermelon hammers, somewhat worried, and said: "Young Master, if you do this, you will definitely offend the inner court's General Manager Ye Sijian. I'm afraid he won't let you off easy..."

  Ye Xuan didn't put it in his heart and said, "I killed Ye Li, I had already offended him. For that kind of person, offending once or twice makes no difference. However, Ye Feng this kid, after the hunting festival became much more mature, he could actually bear not to take action against me. What a pity...

  Su Jiaojiao stuck out her tongue and knew that Ye Xu had indeed killed Ye Feng just now.

  If Ye Feng couldn't help but take action at that time, then Ye Xu killing him would be justified and he wouldn't have to bear any responsibility.

  Ye Xu took out his parents' memorial tablets from the luggage, placed them in the main hall, lit a few incense sticks, set up two straw mats, and pulled Qiao Qiao to kneel down and worship.

  Su Jiaojiao knelt beside him, her heart racing like a deer, Ye Xu was the master, and she was the slave, kneeling to ancestors had nothing to do with her.

  Now Ye Xue kneels down with her parents, undoubtedly treating them as her own family.

  "I don't know if Young Master thinks of me as a little sister or...". Her face turned red with shame, her heart fluttering with unknown thoughts, hot and chaotic.

  Ye Xue paid his respects to his parents, and then a loud and clear laughter came from outside the door: "Shao Bao, you really returned to the inner court. I said it, you are a dragon and phoenix among humans, not something in a pond!"

  Ye Xuan stepped out of the door and saw Ye Si Zhen, his eighth uncle, walking towards him with a big smile on his face. Behind him were two servants carrying gold and silver gifts.

  Ye Si Chen smiled warmly and said: "Shao Bao, I know you've always been frugal, this is just a small token."

  Ye Xue thanked him and invited him to drink tea in the house. After chatting for a few sentences, Ye Si Zhen bid farewell and left.

  Su Jiao counted the gifts and exclaimed: "Young master, Old Master No. 8 is really generous! He sent five top-quality silk fabrics and a full two hundred taels of silver!"

  Ye Xu didn't think much of it and smiled: "This is nothing. Qiaoqiao, later you will receive gifts until your hands cramp!"

  As expected, for the entire day, people came to visit one after another, all of whom were high-ranking members of the Ye family's inner house, and even the outer house's Wu Shi personally brought over a heavy gift, filling the courtyard with presents.

  Even Ye Sixian, the manager of the inner court, sent over a generous gift - four maidservants who were quite pretty.

  Yexu welcomed all comers, took everything on the list, and as for those four maidservants, he sent them to attend Su Qiaoqiao, laughing: "Qiaoqiao, they will serve you, and you come serve me."

  Su Jiaojiao gave him a white eye, and her heart was sweet and numb.

  Ye Xu looked at the dazzling array of gifts, and his heart was filled with a thousand emotions.

  These gold and silver jewelry, jade stones, are just external things for him, only strength is the foundation.

  If he has no power, even if his family is rich and powerful enough to rival a country, it's just an illusion; but as long as he has strong enough power, even if he is penniless, people will automatically offer him wealth.

  "I'm still not a wizard, I need to quickly improve my cultivation." The night was deep and dark, Ye Xuan stared at the candlelight on the table, lost in thought.

  Currently, he has two cultivation directions. One is to cultivate the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Lian Qi technique, transforming his body's aura into yuan qi and absorbing the power of the Zhou Tian Xing to become a wizard.

  The second direction is to continue cultivating the Nine Turns of Primordial Qi, breaking through the eleventh level and forming the External Release of Qi, the Innate Overlord Body, and then smoothly transforming the Overlord Body's Qi into Primordial Qi.
