257: retreat

Ye Yan’s eyes were bloodshot, veins bulged on his forehead, and he glared furiously at Jiang Ning, as if he wanted to devour her alive.

It was bad enough that Ling Yao didn't help her just now, but even Jiang Ning had done something foolish at this moment.

Isn't this a pig teammate?

Ye Yan was furious! He had a good hand of cards but played them terribly!

Jiang Ning stumbled backward from the slap, her eyes filled with terror and grievance, tears instantly gushing out.

“Wuwuwuwu! Ye Yan Big Brother, what are you saying! How could I possibly want to harm you, I just wanted to help!”

“And, I don’t want you to be with that woman! I just love you too much, what did I do wrong! Wuwuwuwu!”

Jiang Ning cried as if in a rain of pear blossoms; she just wanted to be with Ye Yan, she just wanted to possess Ye Yan, what did she do wrong?

Moreover, in the end, wasn't Ye Yan the one in the wrong? He clearly wanted to have a foot in two boats.

After being caught with a handle, he turned around and blamed others!

If you hadn't done that in the first place, how could such a thing have happened?

This is what he deserved!

In an instant, Jiang Ning felt that Ye Yan was not as good as she had imagined.

First, he didn't fulfill his initial promise to marry her; instead, he got engaged to another woman and kept it from her!

Second, he also hit her, and it was for that woman, Shen Li, that he hit her!

What did she do wrong! She just wanted to be with him, right? What's the problem?

Ye Yan is simply not as good as a single hair of Su Xuan!

Jiang Ning suddenly missed Su Xuan, wondering if Su Xuan had left safely.

“You… you… alas…”

Ye Yan also calmed down, and looking at the slap mark on Jiang Ning’s face, he immediately felt some regret.

In the end, it was still his own fault; if he hadn’t done these things, being upright and not fearing a crooked shadow, how could Su Xuan have caught him with a handle!

“I’m sorry, Ning’er, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have hit you…”

Ye Yan felt some regret; he wanted to touch Jiang Ning’s face to comfort her, as Jiang Ning used to love that, but Jiang Ning shook him off.

“You’re not the Ye Yan Big Brother I remember! You’ve changed! You’re a big bad guy! I don’t want to talk to you anymore!”

Jiang Ning was sobbing, and Ye Yan was at a loss.

Wang Xiao looked at this scene before him and couldn’t help but sigh; Ye Yan was still far inferior to Su Xuan!

Also, didn't you see that I've been tied up for so long? And you're still there talking about love?

“Wang Elder! Father! I’ll untie you now!”

It was then that Ye Yan noticed Ye Long and Wang Xiao were still tied up, and he quickly went to untie them.

At this moment, Ye Long was still a bit delirious, and the green hat on his head just wouldn't come off!

Even if Ye Yan took it off for him, he would actively put it back on himself!

And, what was even more infuriating, Ye Long actually put a green hat on him too, my hair?

Ye Yan was pulling at the green hat on his head with a dark expression, trying to remove this symbol of humiliation, but the hat seemed to be stuck to his head, not moving no matter how much he pulled.

“Damn it!”

Enraged, Ye Yan directly used the power of the Crimson Firmament Divine Body and burned the green hat away.

Ye Yan, full of unvented rage, kicked a nearby stone, but he kicked too hard and stumbled forward, falling flat on his face and getting a mouthful of mud.

Jiang Ning, who had been sobbing, burst into laughter at this sight, then quickly covered her mouth, pretending to still be angry.

Just then, Shen Yue and Tianyan Holy Master and others arrived at the imperial palace.

“Greetings, Grand Elder!”

Seeing Wang Xiao, Tianyan Holy Master and Shen Yue quickly bowed.

“Dispense with the formalities!”

Wang Xiao nodded.

“Grand Elder! Are you alright! That Xiao Chen, he didn’t do anything excessive to you, did he?”

Tianyan Holy Master asked with concern.

“Excessive things, huh…”

Wang Xiao glanced at Ye Yan thoughtfully; nothing excessive was done to him, but rather Ye Yan…

Alas! Poor Ye Yan!

“I am perfectly fine; that fellow Xiao Chen knew I was a bargaining chip, so he didn’t harm me!”

Wang Xiao said.

“So that’s how it is! That’s good! I’ll unseal you first!”

The Seal imposed by a Great Emperor could only be undone by someone of the same rank, and Tianyan Holy Master spent quite a while to unseal it.

“Ye Yan! You weren’t injured, were you? Where’s Li’er? Where is she?”

Shen Yue scanned around but found no trace of Shen Li.

This was his precious daughter! How could she suddenly disappear?

“I… I…”

Ye Yan didn’t know how to face his Master, stammering and not knowing what to say.

“Speak, damn it! Ye Yan! Are you crazy? Could it be that Li’er herself went after them?”

Shen Yue speculated boldly.

If it were the old Shen Li, there might have been such a possibility.

But this is different! The other side had several Great Emperors; even if Shen Li was impulsive, she couldn't be that brainless.

“Master… I…”

“What exactly happened? Where’s Li’er?”

Shen Yue grabbed Ye Yan’s collar.

“Elder Shen, please don’t get agitated. I saw it just now; my disciple, to protect us, willingly allowed herself to be taken away by that Xiao Chen!”

Wang Xiao sighed.

“What?”

Shen Yue was incredulous.

“You idiot! Why didn’t you stop her? Why didn’t you stop her?”

Shen Yue went up and gave him a big slap, directly making Ye Yan see stars and bleed from the corner of his mouth.

“Are you a coward? She’s your wife, a woman, and you, a big man, why don’t you dare to take on the responsibility of protection?”

“Why do you make a woman bear it? I really misjudged you before!”

Shen Yue grew angrier as he spoke, almost fainting from rage.

He knew very well what kind of place Haoyue Sect was; for a weak woman like Shen Li to go there alone, who knew what kind of things she would experience!

And Ye Yan, as Shen Li’s fiancé, couldn’t even protect her! He had really misjudged him before!

“Elder Shen! Don’t get agitated; that Xiao Chen specifically requested Shen Li, and if not for that, all of us would have been in mortal danger!”

“Alas! In the end, this matter is still my fault! If I hadn’t been captured…”

Wang Xiao said, feigning self-reproach.

“Grand Elder! This is not your fault! If anyone is to blame, it’s that Haoyue Sect for being so despicable and shameless!”

“They actually sent so many Great Emperor to ambush you when we weren’t paying attention!”

“It seems that in the future, we must monitor the movements of these demonic cultivators more closely, and absolutely not allow them to easily step out of the demonic cave!”
