209: Back Mountain! Ye Tian's unwillingness

The power of a top-grade spirit artifact is already world-shattering, and its immense strength can instantly change the tide of a battle, let alone a Dao Artifact.

"To possess a treasure mountain yet be unable to claim it, sometimes, it truly is a torment!"

"So!"

Yang Yucheng was clad in white robes.

His eyes narrowed, and then he suddenly smiled, "Was I just threatened?"

"And as for the price, Ye Qingzhu, we will meet again someday!"

Although Yang Yucheng was not someone who sought revenge for every grievance, if something made him feel uneasy, he would not let it go.

As a villain,

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth is the Righteous Path!

Furthermore, the other party possessed such an item, which made Yang Yucheng quite envious... The courtyard where the Ye Family members resided!

Ye Qingzhu returned to her elegantly decorated boudoir, which had a faint pink hue.

She looked somewhat pensive.

"Young Miss!"

"Is it really necessary to offend Senior Brother Yang of the Heavenly Soul Sect? Previously, he treated Young Master Ye Tian quite well, often standing up for him. Could he still harbor intentions to harm him?"

Beside Ye Qingzhu!

A woman in a white dress, tall and well-proportioned, with a heroic demeanor in her eyes, spoke.

As she spoke, her fair hands gripped a long spear, entirely black with a reddish tint, as if she could sacrifice her life for her Young Miss at any moment and slay all enemies.

"Just making more preparations!"

Ye Qingzhu sighed, a maturity and composure beyond her appearance and age visible in the depths of her eyes.

Her demeanor was even more composed than Ye Tian's, who had experienced a series of life's setbacks!

"Things in this world are never free."

"With Senior Brother Yang helping so much today, I fear that in the future, the Ye Family might have to pay an even greater price, so I merely gave him a warning in advance!"

Ye Qingzhu explained the reason.

The Valiant Maiden patted her ample chest, let out a breath, and a look of relief naturally appeared on her face.

"I thought it was something serious!"

"With Young Miss here, how could the Ye Family possibly get into trouble? If Young Miss hadn't been unwilling before, I alone, riding a horse with my spear, would have long since annihilated the entire Sun Family!"

"However!"

The maiden's tone shifted, and a smile appeared on her face, "This time, the Sun Family actually did a good thing."

"By breaking off the engagement with Young Master Ye Tian, Young Miss, won't you have a chance in the future? It can be considered a different kind of fulfillment."

Teased by the other party!

Ye Qingzhu, who had always been unperturbed, suddenly showed a faint pink blush on her fair, pretty face.

For a moment, she was speechless, and a few ripples gradually rose in her heart.

"Childhood sweethearts, who isn't one?"

Everyone in Ascension Immortal City knew.

Sun Xiuqing, the Young Miss of the Sun Family, and Ye Tian grew up together since childhood, playing happily.

In Ascension Immortal City, everyone considered them a match made in heaven. But within the Ye Family, she, Ye Qingzhu, and Ye Tian had known each other since childhood, so how were they not childhood sweethearts?

And at this moment,

Ye Tian, in the back mountain, had no idea of the maiden's thoughts.

The maiden had her reservations, while the young man faced a cruel reality.

Reality was like waves, constantly crashing upon him.

Fortunately, the young man clung to a reef, which prevented him from drowning. But looking around, all he saw were waves; he was still far from escaping this place alive!

During his leisure time,

Ye Tian's gaze was calm as he looked at the continuous mountain range, with its undulating Peaks, hidden in the distant white mist.

He placed one hand on his lower abdomen, precisely the Dantian area.

"Having the golden characters is certainly good."

"However, if my Dantian hadn't been damaged, A-grade Aptitude might not have been without the possibility of Awakening a Spirit Body."

Although his Aptitude was only Class A Low Grade, he still had a chance of Awakening a Spirit Body.

If he awakened one,

Even if it wasn't a B-Grade Spirit Body like Sun Xiuqing's, even if it was just the lowest level Class D, with the golden characters' blessing, his current situation would definitely be much better.

Although he had a lot of confidence in Yang Yucheng, power, after all, was better held in one's own hands.

Constantly relying on others would eventually lead to problems!

Ye Tian closed his eyes.

The scene of the Sun Family breaking off the engagement in the past was still vivid in his mind.

That day!

He was suppressed on the spot by Sun Family Head Sun Tianfang, and his father, Ye Qingshan, was also treated the same way.

No one could have imagined that

Sun Tianfang's strength had already greatly increased, and he had broken through his cultivation to the Peak of the Spirit Venerable realm. Therefore, the vast Ye Family was no match for him!

That he, Ye Tian, suffered such humiliation was one thing, but his father also suffered the same!

Thinking of this, Ye Tian gritted his teeth, a metallic taste of blood filling his mouth, yet he still did not stop.

His body trembled slightly.

It was evident how much torment his heart was enduring!

It is said that if the lord is humiliated, the vassal dies.

And on that day, when his father suffered such humiliation, how could his heart, as a son, feel any better?

Gradually,

A cry suppressed to the extreme emerged, slowly echoing in the deserted back mountain.

It seemed that the older one got, the more difficult certain things became to do.

Ye Tian had already passed his coming-of-age ceremony some time ago, so he was an adult.

Crying,

Such a shameful act, he truly didn't want others to see.

But just then,

Suddenly, a strong force patted his back. The force was great, but it didn't push him away; instead, it made Ye Tian feel exceptionally steady and substantial.

But even so,

Ye Tian's inner guard at this moment was something others could not comprehend!

Ye Tian's expression changed slightly.

He suddenly turned around, his gaze sharp, sweeping fiercely in the direction of the newcomer.

At a glance, this person was none other than Yang Yucheng!

"Senior Brother Yang, how could it be you?"

Ye Tian showed surprise.

Coming to his senses, he then noticed his disheveled state and quickly wiped himself with his sleeve, but the result only made him appear more clumsy.

His sleeve, stained with dust, added more smudges to his rather delicate face.

It seemed to add to his disarray!

After a very long time,

Ye Tian's body regained balance, but with his head lowered, he was already somewhat unpresentable!

"Senior Brother Yang!"

Ye Tian opened his mouth, intending to say something, to properly explain his current predicament!

Yang Yucheng admired him.

Ye Tian had his pride and didn't want to be looked down upon by Yang Yucheng.

"What were you just thinking about?"

Just as Ye Tian was somewhat at a loss, Yang Yucheng's calm voice came, without mockery, without condescending oversight.

Nor was there any ridicule for Ye Tian's previous situation; it was as if it were just a normal conversation between ordinary friends.

Feeling the goodwill from Yang Yucheng, Ye Tian reacted.

That's right.

The person standing before him was not those Ye Family Disciples who had mocked him in the past, nor those young maidens who had distanced themselves upon learning of his fallen talent, but Senior Brother Yang, who, from beginning to end,

Even the golden characters had highly acknowledged!
