21: The wedding date is set, the immortal Ye family is determined!

Within the tranquil Cold Moon Palace, Xuan Tianchen sat cross-legged, his entire being seemingly merging with the surroundings.

At this moment, he keenly sensed Ye Fan's aura rapidly fleeing the Vast Sea Immortal Domain.

This discovery made the corners of his mouth curl into a subtle, knowing smile.

Even with his toes, Xuan Tianchen could figure out that the Immortal Ye Family had opened a back door for Ye Fan.

“Ye Fan, oh Ye Fan, you must come on the wedding day!” he murmured softly, his eyes glinting with determination.

Now, Ye Fan's luck value was only 80,000 points, which gave Xuan Tianchen a plan.

If he were to forcefully kill Ye Fan so rashly within the Immortal Ye Family's territory, the old geezers of the Immortal Ye Family might actually intervene.

Xuan Tianchen was naturally not afraid of them, but he had not yet successfully acquired Ye Linger's Primordial Sacred Body.

Now… was not the best time to fall out with the Immortal Ye Family.

Next, he only needed to widely spread the news of the wedding date.

Given Ye Fan's nature, he would certainly rush back on the wedding day.

By then, Xuan Tianchen could conveniently kill Ye Fan, annihilate the Immortal Ye Family, and then seize the coveted Primordial Sacred Body.

This would be a perfect plan, killing three birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Xuan Tianchen slowly stood up.

Then, his gaze gently shifted to Ye Linger, who was attentively brewing immortal tea for him.

After the disgraceful events of last night, Ye Linger's beautiful eyes were now devoid of any light, and her expression was one of extreme indifference.

She seemed to have lost her soul; no glimmer of hope could be seen in her eyes.

“Come, follow me to see your father!”

Xuan Tianchen said calmly, then stepped out.

Behind him, Ye Linger's body stiffened slightly upon hearing his words.

She then put down what she was doing and slowly followed him, her steps feeling heavy.

Ever since Xuan Tianchen forcefully took her chastity, she seemed to have completely resigned herself to fate.

She no longer had any intention of resisting destiny's arrangements.

A moment later, Xuan Tianchen brought Ye Linger to the solemn and dignified deliberation hall of the Immortal Ye Family.

Xuan Tianchen's figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he was seated side-by-side with Ye Nantian.

“Is there something important, Imperial Scion, for your visit today?” Patriarch Ye asked slowly, his face composed.

Xuan Tianchen heard this and chuckled softly: “Patriarch Ye, This Imperial Son plans to marry Ling'er in half a month, and I've come specifically to inform you all!”

“In half a month! Won't that be a bit rushed? Should I speak with the Xuan Clan Imperial Son?” Ye Nantian frowned slightly, his expression hesitant.

“Patriarch Ye, This Imperial Son is here to inform you, not to discuss with you! Furthermore, This Imperial Son's will is the Xuan Clan's will!” Xuan Tianchen's tone carried an unyielding firmness.

Patriarch Ye could only respond helplessly: “Very well, everything shall be as the Imperial Scion wishes!”

“Additionally, This Imperial Son wishes to take Ling'er back to the Xuan Clan and send her back when the wedding day approaches!”

“This… still needs to depend on Ling'er's wishes!”

Patriarch Ye's gaze turned to Ye Linger, a fleeting hint of reluctance in his eyes.

“Naturally!” Xuan Tianchen chuckled, then also looked down at Ye Linger.

He said softly with doting affection: “Ling'er, are you willing to follow This Imperial Son back to the Xuan Clan? To get familiar with your future home!”

Ye Linger looked at Xuan Tianchen's seemingly gentle demeanor, but instead of feeling any warmth, a wave of fear surged within her.

Yet, facing Xuan Tianchen's words, she could only nod gently in agreement: “Ling'er is willing!”

“Patriarch Ye, you see, Ling'er herself has agreed!”

Xuan Tianchen smiled faintly, but his smile seemed to hide an inscrutable meaning.

“Since Ling'er is willing, This Old Man will not say anything more. However, Ling'er has never traveled far, so I hope the Imperial Scion will take good care of her.”

Patriarch Ye's voice was full of deep concern for Ye Linger.

“Naturally, This Imperial Son will absolutely not let Ling'er suffer!”

After speaking, Xuan Tianchen's figure flashed again, instantly appearing before Ye Linger, “Ling'er, stay with Patriarch Ye a little longer, I'll go back to Cold Moon Palace to wait for you first!”

He reached out and gently stroked Ye Linger's long hair, his eyes filled with what appeared to be deep affection.

This scene, in the eyes of everyone, truly looked like a loving couple.

But only Ye Linger herself knew best that this was merely Xuan Tianchen putting on an act!

However, to prevent her father and All the Elders from worrying, she could only force a slight smile and say, “Ling'er will!”

After doing all this, Xuan Tianchen, under everyone's gaze, vanished from the hall like a phantom… After Xuan Tianchen's figure completely disappeared from sight, Patriarch Ye's face instantly darkened like an overcast sky.

Then, he abruptly raised his hand and waved, a powerful and surging immortal power rippling out like water.

In just an instant, it completely enveloped the entire grand hall.

This power, like a solid barrier, firmly sealed all auras within it.

Subsequently, Patriarch Ye slowly spoke: “All the Elders, in the next half month, can the Spark Plan be successfully implemented?”

One Elder immediately responded with certainty: “Please rest assured, Patriarch, even with only half a month, we will definitely complete the mission!”

“Mm-hmm, then I'm counting on you, All the Elders!” Patriarch Ye nodded slightly.

Then, he stepped beside Ye Linger, “Ling'er, come with your father.”

“Yes, Father.”

A moment later, Patriarch Ye brought Ye Linger to the depths of the Immortal Ye Family's ancestral land.

“Come, kowtow to your mother!” Patriarch Ye gazed at the tombstone before him, speaking in a low, somber voice.

Ye Linger did not hesitate in the slightest, immediately bowing down and heavily kowtowing before the tombstone.

“That's enough, get up!”

After getting up, Ye Linger's eyes, as she looked at Patriarch Ye, couldn't help but flicker with a hint of confusion.

“Father, just now in the hall, you mentioned the Spark Plan. Did it refer to…”

“Yes, exactly as you thought.” Patriarch Ye's voice held a touch of helplessness.

Ye Linger asked somewhat puzzled: “Father, our Immortal Ye Family, after tens of thousands of years of unremitting effort, finally managed to enter the ranks of an Immortal Family. Why must we come to such a point now?”

“Because… your father wants to fulfill his responsibility as a father!”

Before Patriarch Ye's words had fully fallen, an incomparably dazzling light suddenly bloomed in his palm.

As the light gradually dissipated, what appeared was an exquisite purple dress.

“This is the Jade Phoenix Purple Robe that your mother specifically crafted for you during her lifetime. At a critical moment, it can help you withstand a full-strength attack from a Quasi-Emperor Expert.”

Patriarch Ye gently waved his hand, and the Jade Phoenix Purple Robe seemed to come alive.

It transformed into a brilliant stream of light, steadily landing on Ye Linger's body.

“If you encounter danger, the time it takes to withstand one attack will be enough for your father to arrive by your side in time!”

“Father!”

At this moment, Ye Linger could no longer suppress the long-held grievances in her heart, and tears gushed out like a broken dam.

Patriarch Ye, with a benevolent expression, gently embraced Ye Linger tightly.

And said softly: “Ling'er, you never need to be afraid. Remember, your father is a Quasi-Emperor Expert!”

“Mm-hmm…”

While Ye Linger felt a warmth in her heart, she also felt a deep sense of self-reproach.

After all, her father and All the Elders were willing to activate the family's Spark Plan for her sake.

This was clearly a premonition of preparing to directly confront the Xuan Clan, but the consequences… were not something the Immortal Ye Family could bear!

Thinking of this, Ye Linger felt that she had to do something.

She absolutely could not let the Immortal Ye Family, which had stood for tens of thousands of years, be destroyed because of her.

The key to all this lay with Xuan Tianchen.

As the Xuan Clan Imperial Son, with just one word, he could save the Immortal Ye Family from the disaster of annihilation.

Of course, the price to pay might be very high.

But for the future of the Immortal Ye Family, as long as she could do it, even death would not deter her…
