250: Did you really pick her up?

“His Cultivation speed is already fast enough, there’s no need to rush. Perhaps he has other plans!”

Another Elder among them voiced his conjecture, a glint of brilliance flickering in his turbid eyes.

The changes in the Xuanhuang World made him feel a slight loosening in his Realm. This time, upon returning, he vowed not to emerge from seclusion until he had a Breakthrough to a higher level.

“That’s true. The Saint possesses an Immortal Body, and his Cultivation speed is astonishing. Even if he delays his Breakthrough, it won’t affect his future Cultivation in the slightest…” Another Elder slowly said.

“Just by speaking the Dao, he can cause a continent to birth a Star Core. His origin is probably not that of an orphan…”

“But no matter what, as long as he makes the Taichu Holy Land a top-tier power among all the Heavens in the future, that’s all that matters…”

“Does he have such a grand ambition? How do I remember that the reason he joined the Holy Land was because he heard the Holy Land provided food and lodging, so he came…”

The Elders in the front row, noticing their conversation didn’t affect Lin Ruiyang, simply started discussing, completely disregarding Ling Yun’s murderous gaze.

“These old geezers are getting more and more out of line, daring to discuss my husband in front of me…”

Ling Yun withdrew her gaze, still fuming inwardly, and couldn’t help but spit.

“Elder Sister Ling Yun, you don’t have to mind them!” Shangguan Yunyue smiled slightly, “These old geezers, they feel restless if they don’t gossip about others behind their backs for a day…”

Just then, a Holy Land Disciple hurried over, looking very anxious: “Ling Yun Peak Master, this is bad! Ye Chen has brought his parents again!”

The Disciples who came along already knew about Ye Qingcheng’s matter. Upon hearing of the arrival of the Ye family couple, they knew what they wanted without even thinking.

“Have they finally arrived?!”

On the high platform, Lin Ruiyang slowly opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned as he chuckled softly.

He had actually already exited his Void Tempering state. He heard the Elders’ words clearly and couldn’t be bothered to argue with those old geezers.

As for the Ye family couple, Lin Ruiyang knew very well what they were afraid of, rushing to take Ye Qingcheng back.

At this moment, many Holy Land Disciples had already returned to the first-floor hall, relaxing while sipping spiritual tea.

After all, they had been fully concentrating on comprehending the Dao for the past few days, feeling their entire body and mind were tightly strung.

“These are Junior Sister Ye’s adoptive parents? Last time at the Jingjue Dojo, I was too far away and didn’t know about them!”

“That’s right, but they have wolfish ambitions. They adopted Junior Sister Ye because they wanted her to be their daughter-in-law…”

“The Saint is such a Prodigy, how good would it be to follow him! Does a good-for-nothing like Ye Chen even deserve her?”

At a square table not far away, Ye Chen sat on a chair, his fists clenched tightly, his face gloomy, and the rage in his eyes seemed about to erupt.

Sitting opposite him were his parents, Ye Langtian and Xiao Na.

The two of them, however, were calm. Before coming here, they had already anticipated being mocked and were mentally prepared.

“You bunch of good-for-nothings, what are you barking about? Have you all broken through to the Saint Realm? Is victory in the Tenglong Grand Competition assured? Instead of barking here, why don’t you go and Cultivate properly! I truly don’t understand why the Holy Land would keep a bunch of good-for-nothings like you…”

The surrounding chatter grew increasingly discordant, and Ye Chen finally lost his patience, shouting loudly.

Ye Chen believed that with the Devouring Heaven Battle Art, even the Personal Disciples in the Dongxu Realm present were far from being his opponents.

In his opinion, these so-called Personal Disciples were just trash and good-for-nothings in the Holy Land. It would be better to expel all of them from the Holy Land, which would also save a large amount of resources.

The surrounding Disciples, hearing Ye Chen’s words, immediately lost their composure and began to curse, using foul language.

“Hmph… If you’re not a good-for-nothing, why were you suppressed on the ground by a wisp of the Saint’s Qi and couldn’t get up…?”

“Oh! Won a few arena matches and think you’re hot stuff again…”

“The Saint still values emotions! If it weren’t for Junior Sister Ye, do you think you’d be alive right now…?”

“When the Saint kills you, I’ll definitely collect your corpse and give it to the Mechanism Sect to refine into a Puppet, making you eat human waste every night, hahaha…”

Hearing these words, Ye Chen immediately flew into a rage, stood up indignantly, and was about to make a move, but Ye Langtian pressed down on his shoulder.

“Father… you…”

Ye Chen turned his head, looking at Ye Langtian with great confusion.

“You yourself said they are good-for-nothings, why are you getting angry with good-for-nothings? Don’t forget, our primary objective today…”

Although Ye Langtian was also very angry, he still maintained some rationality, knowing his objective.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions. For the sake of smoothly bringing Ye Qingcheng back and for his own future, he endured it.

Although he didn’t know why Lin Ruiyang had repeatedly let him go, he knew it was definitely not because of Ye Qingcheng.

Because he always felt that ever since he challenged Lin Ruiyang, his Luck had gradually begun to disappear, while Lin Ruiyang was thriving.

“I still need to raise my Cultivation as soon as possible. Although I don’t want to admit it, Lin Ruiyang is indeed ridiculously strong! Only by being five minor Realms higher than him can I utterly crush him and avenge the seizure of my wife!”

The anger in Ye Chen’s heart gradually subsided, and he mumbled unconsciously.

“You are Qingcheng’s adoptive parents?”

At this moment, Lin Ruiyang arrived in the hall on the first floor, his gaze falling on the Ye family couple, his expression very indifferent.

Behind him, Ye Qingcheng, Jiang Yueyao, and the others were also there. As soon as they stopped, the Holy Land Elders also entered the hall one after another.

As he spoke, Lin Ruiyang scanned his surroundings but did not find Ancient Phoenix, feeling somewhat surprised.

Could it be that Ancient Phoenix discovered Ye Chen’s act of killing the Spirit Race Saint, and thus left?

That’s not right. In the original work, when the Spirit Race experts came in pursuit, Ancient Phoenix already knew about Ye Chen’s matter, but she still chose to help him with the entire Fire Country.

Could it be that this foolish woman suddenly became smart and understood?

“Good! You’re the liar who abducted my daughter, finally willing to show your face…”

Seeing Lin Ruiyang arrive, Xiao Na immediately couldn’t sit still. She rolled up her sleeves, making a posture as if she wanted to fight, but she held back due to the opponent’s strength, not daring to make a move.

“Husband…”

Ye Qingcheng’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s, and she tightly clutched Lin Ruiyang’s arm, fearing that Lin Ruiyang would blow things out of proportion.

Regardless, the Ye family couple were her adoptive parents. Although there was no longer much affection, the kindness of raising her could not be denied.

“It’s alright, leave this to me!”

Lin Ruiyang smiled slightly, gently stroked Ye Qingcheng’s hand, then turned back and seriously scrutinized the Ye family couple: “She was really picked up by you?”

“Nonsense, of course, we found her by the river and raised her to adulthood…”
