You're so beautiful, and you still want to cancel the engagement?

Ye Fei: “…”

"Fuck..." Ye Fei raised his hand and wanted to hit Ding Dashan again, but Ding Dashan was so scared that he quickly dodged.

"Haha, senior brother, this is the rule of our family's ancestors. It is passed down within the family and not to outsiders. There's nothing we can do about it. If you really want to learn it, you'll have to bear with it. Haha..." Ding Dashan said with a naive smile.

"Get lost!" Ye Fei shouted coldly, "Okay, stop talking nonsense and get out of here!"

Immediately afterwards, Ye Fei took Ding Dashan and left the scene instantly.

……

The next morning, the sun shone on the streets and alleys of Tianlong City. As the first of the hundred cities in Wu Kingdom, this city was full of prosperity and vitality.

The Lu family of Tianlong City is famous. It is not only the number one family in Tianlong City, but also one of the top ten families in Wu Kingdom.

However, when Ye Fei and Ding Dashan finally found out the exact location of the Lu family after going through untold hardships, the scene they saw left them dumbfounded, as if they were in a nightmare.

Because when Ye Fei and Ding Dashan couldn't wait to rush to the area where the Lu family was located, what caught their eyes was not the magnificent mansion they had imagined, but a messy ruin.

The only thing left of the former Lu family is the towering memorial archway at the gate, standing there alone, as if telling of its former glory. Carved on the memorial archway are two powerful characters - Lu Mansion, which is a testimony to the former glory of the Lu family.

From this gate and the endless remaining walls around it, it is not difficult to imagine how magnificent and glorious the Lu family once was. However, today the Lu family has been razed to the ground, and all the buildings inside have collapsed and are in ruins.

What was even more shocking was that there were obvious signs of a fire here. The walls were blackened by smoke, and there were still unburned charcoal and ashes on the ground. It was obvious that the Lu family had just encountered an accident not long ago.

Ye Fei stared at the ruins in front of him, his heart full of doubts and confusion.

He really couldn't understand how the Lu family, which had a close relationship with the Murong royal family of the Wu Kingdom, could suddenly become like this. What kind of secrets and changes were hidden in this?

"Uncle, what happened to the Lu family?" Ye Fei saw a middle-aged man about fifty years old passing by, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, asking with a puzzled look on his face.

The middle-aged man was walking in a hurry, and was a little annoyed when Ye Fei stopped him. But when he saw the appearance of Ye Fei and Ding Dashan clearly, the anger on his face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a look of fear.

He looked at Ye Fei and Ding Dashan warily, as if he was a little afraid of them, then waved his hands hurriedly, turned around and left quickly without looking back, as if he was afraid that he would get into trouble if he stayed for another second.

"What's wrong with this man?" Ye Fei looked at the middle-aged man's receding back, frowning slightly.

Ding Dashan smiled, patted Ye Fei on the shoulder, and explained: "Brother, you don't know that if you want to ask someone about this kind of thing, you have to ask old men and old ladies. These old men and old ladies have nothing to do all day, so they like to get together and talk about family matters. They know everything that happens around them. Even if there are no old men and old ladies, you have to ask women, because women are gossipers, which is what you call "gossip". They are more interested in all kinds of things."

After listening to Ding Dashan's words, Ye Fei nodded in agreement, but he still asked, "Are you sure?"

"Of course, the old men and women have nothing to do on weekdays, so they like to get together and chat about everything, from the neighbors' private affairs to the private affairs of other people. If even they can't find out anything, it means that this matter is not simple. It must involve some important people, and someone from above has warned them not to gossip. So, we can only ask the children. After all, children don't understand anything, and they don't know the twists and turns involved, so they naturally won't hide anything." Ding Dashan analyzed.

Ye Fei: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up!"

Immediately afterwards, Ye Fei and Ding Dashan found a few old men and women around and asked them about the Lu family.

However, what they didn't expect was that the reactions of these old men and women were exactly the same.

As soon as they heard that they wanted to inquire about the Lu family, these people became alert immediately like a cat whose tail was stepped on, waving their hands repeatedly and saying things like "I don't know" and "I'm not sure".

Seeing this situation, Ye Fei and Ding Dashan looked at each other and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

However, Ding Dashan did not give up. He smiled and said to Ye Fei: "Brother, don't worry, there is still one more trick!"

As he spoke, Ding Dashan took out some candies from his pocket, walked up to the children who were playing, squatted down, and said to them with a smile: "Haha...Uncle will give you candies, but you have to tell uncle something."

When the children saw the candy in Ding Dashan's hand, their eyes lit up and they gathered around him. Ding Dashan took the opportunity to ask, "Haha... do you know anything about the Lu family?"

One of the children blurted out without even thinking: "I know, the Lu family was confiscated by the Murong royal family!"

Hearing this answer, Ye Fei and Ding Dashan were stunned. They never thought that the truth of the matter would surprise them so much.

You know, they have long known about the relationship between the Lu family and the Murong royal family, so they have never understood how the Lu family, with the background of the Murong royal family, could fall to this point.

Who could have thought that the instigator was actually the Murong royal family.

"No!" Ye Fei shook his head repeatedly: "There is something wrong with this matter, there is definitely something wrong!"

"What's wrong with this?" Ding Dashan was bewildered. "I think it's normal! Living with the emperor is like living with a tiger! It's possible that someone from the Lu family said something wrong to Shengshan, and the emperor was furious and ordered the execution of the entire Lu family and the extermination of all nine clans! This kind of thing happens from time to time, it's not surprising!"

"It is true that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, but the relationship between the Lu family and the Murong royal family is extraordinary!" Ye Fei shook his head: "As long as the Lu family has not done anything outrageous, the Murong royal family will never be so heartless!"

"Brother, what do you want from Lu Laowu and the others?" Ding Dashan asked, "Do they owe you money?"

Ye Fei glanced at Ding Dashan and said, "I originally wanted to meet Mu Wushuang through Lu Laowu and the others, and find out the details of the Murong royal family, and see if there is any connection between the Wu Kingdom and the four super soul-devouring formations in the demon world. After all, every time the Xuanyun Sect sends people into the demon world, they will come to the Wu Kingdom first after arriving in the Wuyuan Star Region. I think there must be someone or a force in the Wu Kingdom that has a close relationship with the Xuanyun Sect."

"Now that something's happened to the Lu family, what are you going to do?" Ding Dashan asked.

"Find!" Ye Fei's voice was low and firm, as if this word contained endless determination and strength.

His brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he stared intently ahead, as if trying to find the target he was looking for through the void.

"What are you looking for?" Ding Dashan was at a loss.

"Even if the entire family is executed, there must be survivors in the Lu family!" Ye Fei's tone was extremely firm, without the slightest hesitation. He knew the seriousness of this incident, but he did not believe that the Lu family would be exterminated.

Ding Dashan looked at Ye Fei from the side with a puzzled look on his face. He scratched his head and asked doubtfully: "Brother, if you really want to find Mu Wushuang, why don't you just go to the palace to find her? Why go through so much trouble?"

Ye Fei shook his head slowly, his movements seemed a little heavy. He stared at Ding Dashan and explained: "If you said this to me yesterday, maybe I would listen to you, but not today!"

Ding Dashan was even more confused. He widened his eyes and asked, "Why?"

Ye Fei looked at Ding Dashan seriously and said solemnly: "Although we are not particularly good friends with the Lu sisters, now that we know about this, we must find out the result. If we can help them, we will help them and put an end to this cause and effect. Otherwise, this cause and effect will come back to us sooner or later."

After hearing Ye Fei's words, Ding Dashan's suspicion did not disappear. He scratched his head and muttered to himself: "Is there such a saying?"

……

Time flies, and a year goes by in a flash.

During this year, many changes took place in Tianluo City, and the most eye-catching one was the reconstruction of Qianxian Sect.

Qianxian Sect, a sect that was once glorious in the three major star fields, finally ushered in its new life after tens of thousands of years of silence.

Today is the grand day when Qianxian Sect officially opens for business after its reconstruction.

Today, the Qianxian Sect is no longer the dilapidated state it once was. It has newly built a huge quadrangle with nine courtyards, which is magnificent and eye-catching.

In order to make the Qianxian Sect larger, Wang Ergou deliberately moved it a hundred feet to the back of the mountain from its original location. This not only expanded the sect's area, but also made the entire building layout more reasonable.

Walking into the gate of Qianxian Sect, the first thing that comes into view is the extremely wide martial arts training ground. This martial arts training ground is tens of thousands of square meters, and the ground is paved with bluestone slabs, which is flat and smooth. Standing in the martial arts training ground, it seems as if you can feel the lively scene of the Qianxian Sect's heyday ten thousand years ago, when tens of thousands of disciples practiced martial arts here.

Behind the martial arts training ground are rows of houses. Although these houses look plain, they reveal a sense of simplicity. They are built against the mountain and blend into the surrounding natural environment, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace.

However, although Wang Ergou had high hopes for the reopening of the Thousand Immortals Sect, hoping to take this opportunity to make the Thousand Immortals Sect famous and regain its former glory, the reality poured cold water on him.

The morning passed, and the front door of Qianxian Sect was deserted. No one came to congratulate, let alone come to learn from him. This was in stark contrast to the lively scene Wang Ergou expected, and he couldn't help feeling a little lost and helpless.

"Master, what is going on?" Shi Feijian looked at Wang Ergou anxiously, his voice trembling slightly.

As the current eldest senior brother of Qianxian Sect, he should have been the most calm and composed one, but at this moment he seemed extremely flustered.

He stayed awake all night last night, his heart full of anticipation for today.

He imagined what a bustling scene there would be in front of the Qianxian Sect today, how the people who came to congratulate them would praise their efforts in rebuilding the sect, and how those who came to become disciples would come in an endless stream, allowing the sect to regain its former glory.

However, reality dealt him a heavy blow.

When he arrived at the sect gate early in the morning, he found that there was no scene as lively as he expected. The place that should have been bustling with people was unusually deserted at this moment, with no one in sight.

Shi Feijian's mood instantly fell to the bottom, he really couldn't understand why this happened.

Since the seal on the demon world was lifted a year ago, he and other disciples who had been guarding the Life and Death Abyss for many years returned to the Thousand Immortals Sect and took on the heavy responsibility of rebuilding the sect.

Over the past year, they have worked tirelessly, doing everything themselves and supervising on site. They have not missed almost any detail, and if there is anything that is not done well, they will ask the workers to redo the work.

All of this is to restore the sect's former glory.

After all, making the Thousand Immortals Sect rise again is not only Wang Ergou's wish, but also the common wish of every disciple of the Thousand Immortals Sect.

Facing Shi Feijian's question, Wang Ergou seemed a little impatient. He glared at Shi Feijian and said unhappily, "You ask me, who should I ask?"

"Didn't you start telling us a few days ago to prepare this and that, fearing that we would neglect the guests? But, this... this..." Shi Feijian said with a bitter face, "We have invited hundreds of cooks and thousands of skillful maids from the foot of the mountain to be in charge of reception, and have prepared hundreds of tables of banquets. If no one comes today, we will be laughed at by the outside world!"

"Open your mouth!" Wang Ergou suddenly said in a cold voice.

"Ah?" Shi Feijian was puzzled and stood there in shock with his mouth wide open.

Wang Ergou took the opportunity to pinch his chin and looked into his mouth: "It seems that all the teeth are there, they haven't fallen out!"

Wang Ergou released Shi Feijian's chin.

Shi Feijian: “…”

"A few days ago, I told you to ask your third junior sister to come out of seclusion today. Where is she?" Wang Ergou asked coldly.

"I have been there!" Shi Feijian said with a bitter face, "But she asked me if I had any news about the head junior brother, and I said no, then she told me to send someone to inform her when there is news about him, and she would come out again!"

“Hey…” Wang Ergou turned his head and looked in the direction of the Life and Death Abyss behind the Thousand Immortal Sect: “That girl, she is really suffering from lovesickness! This kind of heart disease needs to be cured by heart medicine. Even I can’t cure it.”

"Of course not!" Shi Feijian shook his head with some worry: "The only one who can cure her disease is probably the head junior brother!"

"It's been half a year, and there has been no news from this kid. Where did he and Fourteen go?" Wang Ergou frowned, "I deliberately asked you to spread the news that the Thousand Immortal Sect is opening today, just to let Thirteen know. On such an important day, he should come back to participate. Isn't he coming back today?"

"Master, do you think it is possible that our junior brother had already encountered an accident?" Shi Feijian asked.

Wang Ergou glared at Shi Feijian with disdain: "Even if you have a hundred accidents, he won't have one accident!"

Shi Feijian: "Master, are you so sure?"

Wang Ergou looked confident: "Of course! Half a year ago, he used the sound transmission jade talisman to talk to me. He said that he had found out an important secret, but this secret involved a girl named Lu Wan'er. He must find her to break the situation. He will find her at all costs!"

Shi Feijian: "At any cost?"

Wang Ergou: “Yes!”

……

Witch country.

Murong royal family.

In a dungeon a thousand meters deep in the ground.

Ye Fei was sitting cross-legged in one of the cells, with his hands on his thighs and knees, making some strange hand seals, and concentrating on meditating with his eyes closed.

But I saw that he was wearing a pair of pitch-black shackles on his ankles. The shackles emitted a black glow and it was obvious that they were not made of ordinary iron.

On the side, Ding Dashan sat cross-legged in front of him, his chin supported by his hands: "Brother, is this what you said about finding Lu Laowu at all costs? But..."

Ding Dashan glanced at the two identically-looking beautiful women imprisoned in another cell opposite them, and curled his lips at Ye Fei with disdain: "There's no need for you to send us in here to keep them company, right? It's fine for just one or two days, but we've been locked up here for five months and eight days. You should find a way to get us out as soon as possible!"

"Why are you panicking!" Ye Fei slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Ding Dashan.

"I know you have great powers, so you are not panicking, but I am panicking!" Ding Dashan said impatiently.

In the first six months of searching for Lu Wan'er, Ding Dashan witnessed Ye Fei display his magical powers many times with his own eyes, and he now had no doubt about Ye Fei's strength.

Over the past six months, Ye Fei has been comforting him and telling him not to panic. He knows that if his senior brother wants to go out, he can definitely do so at any time.

He never doubted this.

However, Ye Fei looked down at the shackles on his ankles and said, "You know this shackle has the effect of sealing soul power and spiritual power. If I wear this thing, I can't use any of my magical powers!"

"Ah?" Ding Dashan almost dropped his jaw in shock. "Then, then you kept telling me not to panic for the past six months? I, I thought you could go out anytime you wanted!"

Ye Fei looked at Ding Dashan with disdain: "Nonsense, if I could go out I would have gone out a long time ago. Who wants to be locked up here for so long? Am I sick?"
