Chapter 88: Chapter 87: Internal Strife
anwhile, when He Yu saw his formidable older brother in an ambiguous posture with Qin Yanran, he was instantly terrified.
Everyone knew that Qin Yanran and the Demon Emperor were set to marry in about half a month. If news of their affair got out at a ti like this, it would likely throw the Ancient Martial Families into turmoil.
He glanced around and was relieved to see that no one was there. Still, he wasn’t too worried, reasoning that his brother was the King of Heaven and was about to confront the Demon Emperor anyway.
No matter what, he would always choose to stand by his brother. The Demon Emperor did not represent the Divine Dragon, so even if he died, the Divine Dragon would not necessarily intervene due to various constraints.
Just then, Ye Fan walked over. He Yu stepped forward and said, "Brother, this woman’s background is complicated. She’s marrying the Demon Emperor, so no man from any family dares to get involved with her!"
Ye Fan replied, "What’s there to be afraid of? I’m going to fight the Demon Emperor anyway."
"How did you two get tangled up together?" He Yu asked.
"It’s a complicated story," Ye Fan said. "All you need to know is that she’s your sister-in-law now. For her, I would even dare to kill the Demon Emperor!"
His tone was undeniably domineering.
He Yu exclaid, "Brother, you’re incredible! I’m starting to wonder if you’ve drugged every woman on the planet. Why do they all fall for you?!"
"And they’re always the ones to make the first move!"
This was sothing He Yu had to admire. While he could use money to attract most won, it was nothing compared to Ye Fan, who was on another level entirely.
Ye Fan laughed. "It’s probably because I’m handso!"
"Bullshit!"
"Hm?"
Ye Fan shot a look at He Yu, who quickly corrected himself, "I an, my brother is so suave and dashing, it’s only natural that he’d be the center of attention!"
"Just keep this to yourself. We need to maintain a low profile," Ye Fan said.
The two of them chatted for a long ti.
「The next day」
Ye Fan was at the airport seeing Su Qingxue off.
"If you dare to ss around with Fang Nan, just see how I’ll deal with you!" Su Qingxue warned.
Ye Fan hurriedly agreed. You don’t have a clue, so how exactly are you going to deal with ? I, Laozi, am going to do the exact opposite and swim against the current!
Of course, he would never dare to say that to her face.
Mrs. Jiang had also co. After seeing Su Qingxue off, she turned to Ye Fan and asked, "Are you really involved with that little witch from the Fang family?"
"I am!" Ye Fan saw no reason to hide it.
Mrs. Jiang gave him a thumbs-up. "Excellent, excellent! You’re truly my son! I actually have a great impression of that little witch. Her uniqueness makes her an absolute model for us won!"
Ye Fan was speechless. With a mother like this fanning the flas, it would be a miracle if he didn’t get into trouble.
Later, Ye Fan and Mrs. Jiang arrived at the Ye Family estate.
"Ye Fan, the dicinal herbs are ready," Ye Qingshan said.
"Good. I’ll unblock your acupoints in a few days," Ye Fan replied.
Ye Qingshan nodded eagerly. This affliction had plagued him for many years. Although his cultivation was strong and he hadn’t fallen completely behind, the gap between his family and the super-clans was growing ever wider. As an Ancient Martial Family, their goal was naturally to beco a super-clan.
"Alright," Ye Fan said, "let’s decoct the herbs first."
After a busy morning, Ye Fan had the dicinal concoction prepared. With Ye Tiannan standing guard outside, Ye Fan began the treatnt for Ye Qingshan inside the room.
He employed his unique thods to clear Ye Qingshan’s ridians. The process was indescribably painful, reaching an almost unbearable level.
Ye Qingshan cried out in agony.
Even Ye Tiannan, waiting outside the room, felt a tremor of alarm. He desperately wanted to go in, but Ye Qingshan had previously forbidden him from entering, no matter what happened. All he could do was wait anxiously outside.
Finally, Ye Fan succeeded in unblocking his acupoints. Ye Qingshan could feel the power within him flowing freely once again, an exhilarating sensation.
However, Ye Fan’s expression was grim.
"Ye Fan, what is it? What’s wrong?" Ye Qingshan asked weakly.
"This isn’t a simple matter," Ye Fan said. "I thought your opponent had only severely damaged your acupoints, but your body also contains a certain poison."
"This isn’t a poison that was administered all at once. It has accumulated over ti. That ans there’s definitely sothing wrong with the supplents or Martial Arts herbs you’ve been consuming!"
Hearing Ye Fan’s words, Ye Qingshan was shaken. A sense of despair washed over him, quickly followed by a seething hatred.
He asked Ye Fan, "Is all this true?"
"Of course, it’s true! Let
help you expel the poison first!" Ye Fan said.
He circulated his Supre Inner Power and, using his silver needles, finally drew the poison out. The black venom, while not overwhelmingly potent, was the result of a long, cumulative process. If not for Ye Qingshan’s formidable cultivation, he would have perished long ago. Even so, he wouldn’t have lasted another two years.
Seeing this, Ye Qingshan was no longer calm; he was completely unsettled.
"As the Family Head presiding over the Ye Family, I never imagined one of my own descendants would plot to murder ," he seethed. "When I find out who it is, I will never forgive them!"
Along with his anger, Ye Qingshan felt a cold dread. Without Ye Fan, he might have died without ever knowing why.
"It must be an issue with the herbs and supplents," Ye Fan stated. "That shouldn’t be too hard to investigate. We can trace them back to their source and find the culprit."
"Ye Fan, you must keep this a secret for
for now," Ye Qingshan said. "Absolutely no one else can know. Right now in the Ye Family, everyone is a suspect except for you!"
"Alright," Ye Fan nodded.
Then, Ye Qingshan and Ye Fan walked out of the room.
Ye Tiannan imdiately rushed up to him. "Father!"
"Get lost!"
Ye Qingshan was burning with fury. Ye Tiannan was stunned, unable to understand why his father was so enraged. Nevertheless, he didn’t dare to follow.
Ye Fan and Ye Qingshan went to his collection room, where all his valuable dicinal materials and supplents were stored.
"These are my supplents and herbs," Ye Qingshan said. "How can we test them for this poison?"
"This poison is very unusual; it can’t be detected easily. But I have a thod," Ye Fan replied imdiately.
"Go on."
Ye Qingshan nodded and took out the various supplents and herbs.
Ye Fan filled a bowl with water, placed a ginseng root inside, and let it soak for about a minute before inserting a silver needle into the water.
The needle showed no change. "This one is clean," Ye Fan said.
"Your mother bought that for ," Ye Qingshan said. "She is gentle and virtuous. I trust she wouldn’t poison !"
Next, he brought out another herb. Ye Fan tested it again, and once more, there was no issue.
"Your father bought this," Ye Qingshan said. "They are the last two people I would ever want to suspect. Thankfully, they are innocent."
"I trust them too," Ye Fan said.
Then, Ye Qingshan took out the supplents that Ye Chungang had gifted him.
Ye Fan imdiately put the silver needle into the water. Sure enough, it turned black. Ye Qingshan stared, his shock giving way to boundless rage. There really was a problem.
"This poison appears colorless and odorless," Ye Fan explained. "Even a silver needle can’t detect it directly. But in water, it will cause the needle to turn black."
"And even when the needle blackens, the water itself tests completely normal."
Hearing this, Ye Qingshan snarled, "How vicious. Truly vicious! Everything they have, I gave to them, yet they conspired to murder !"
"Ye Fan, I must look like a joke to you," Ye Qingshan said with bitter desolation. "The Ye Family may appear harmonious on the surface, but it’s already on the verge of collapse. Even my own son wants to murder ."
It seed Ye Fan already knew the poisoner was Ye Chungang.
