Dethrone me, I don't want the throne anymore, why are you so angry?

After flying for an unknown amount of time, Ye Yu arrived at a small mountain town and inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.

Then he restrained his breath and slowly fell down.

But Ye Yu himself didn't expect that he would stay there for a whole month.

This place is isolated from the outside world, and most of the people in the town are former residents of the Qin Dynasty who migrated here.

Ye Yu opened a pharmacy here and changed his name to Xu Wangchen. He has been living here for the past month, leading a peaceful life.

Early this morning, suddenly, a cannon shot rang out across the sky, and the entire town seemed to go crazy at this moment.

"Xiao Yaer, what happened?" Ye Yu walked out of the pharmacy and asked a child while pulling him.

"Oh, Mr. Xu, it's a win, our town has produced a third place winner!" Xiao Yaer shouted excitedly, and then ran to see the third place winner.

Ye Yu thought about it and followed.

What Ye Yu didn't expect was that the third place winner was actually an old man with a white beard.

In Da Yan's system, only the capable will be promoted, regardless of age.

At this moment, the scholar who had won the third place in the imperial examination was sitting on a tall horse, followed by a few servants who were scattering candies and copper coins around him from time to time.

There was a smile on his face, he was very happy, and for a moment he was in great glory.

Ye Yu's eyes narrowed as he watched this scene. He could sense that this third place winner was already extremely weak and on his last legs.

Alas, Ye Yu sighed lightly and slowly closed his eyes. The face of the third place winner suddenly turned pale and he fell off the horse weakly.

The scene suddenly became chaotic. Ye Yu watched the scene silently and turned away.

In the evening, Ye Yu came to the only restaurant in the town to eat, and people around him were talking about what happened this morning.

"Alas, you said you finally became the third place in the imperial examination, but you died like this. What a pity."

"There's nothing to regret. If I could be so glorious just once, I would be willing to die. What's more, dying at the peak of his glory might not be a bad thing for him."

"That's right. For this third place, I spent all my family's wealth and even owed a lot of foreign debts. Everyone in my family died during the relocation. There's nothing to be unhappy about if I could have a glorious death before I die. At least it was a worthy death."

Listening to the discussions around him, Ye Yu shook his head. They were not the third place winner in the imperial examination, so how could they know what he was thinking?

In their opinion, it was a worthy death, but the third place winner might not have been willing to die.

When he thought of this, Ye Yu looked at the food in front of him and felt that it was tasteless, so he put down his chopsticks.

"You don't want to eat anymore? Then can I eat too?" The moment I put down my chopsticks, a ragged man walked over.

Ye Yu looked up at him and nodded slightly.

Seeing this, the man quickly bowed to Ye Yu, then sat down politely. It was obvious that he was very hungry, but he did not eat voraciously and was still very polite.

Ye Yu was born into the Great Yan Imperial Family, so he could tell that this man must have had a good background. On a whim, he asked, "How did you end up in such a state?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then shrugged and smiled, "The Blood Demon Clan attacked and captured the city-state where my family originally lived. We lost everything. I've been living a life of luxury since I was a child, so I can write poetry and couplets, but it's still difficult for me to support myself. Without any special skills, it's natural that I've ended up like this."

"But looking at you now, you don't seem that sad." Ye Yu teased.

The man took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "It was quite uncomfortable at first, but then I figured it out. No matter how unwilling I am, what can I do? I don't have spiritual roots, so I can't become a cultivator."

"I've tried, tried my best, but I don't have the courage to die. Instead of dwelling on something that's already been decided, I might as well accept it."

"It's just like what the madam in that brothel I visited once taught her girls: since you can't change your destiny, you might as well enjoy yourself. That way, at least you can live a happier life."

Ye Yu took a deep breath and said, "You are right. Since the matter has become a foregone conclusion, why bother to insist on it?"

After saying that, Ye Yu stood up and left.

The man did not try to persuade him to stay and just started eating. Only then did he notice that there was a gold ingot opposite him.

After untying the knot in his heart, Ye Yu felt that the spiritual energy in his body was flowing more smoothly. He immediately returned to his medicine shop, ready to break through the inner demon tribulation.

But just as he came back, two children ran in, one of them was crying loudly with a deep wound on his hand.

Seeing this, Ye Yu said nothing. He took some medicine and applied it to him. After giving them a few instructions, he let them leave.

"How is it? Does it still hurt?" One of the children asked as they walked out the door.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, and I feel a little cool and comfortable. Mr. Xu's medicine is really good. It's all your fault. I said I didn't want to climb the tree, but you insisted."

"How can you blame me for this? Didn't you say the fruit on that tree was delicious in the beginning? Now you're hurt because of this, and you blame me."

Ye Yu listened to the conversation between the two children, and unknowingly had an epiphany in his mind.

Everything in the world has a cause and an effect.

For a moment, Ye Yu felt that the world in front of him had changed, as if there were inexplicable lines connecting all things in the world.

That is not the lock of fate, but another mysterious thing. It seems not to exist, but in fact it is involved in everything.

Inside the cauldron, the cauldron spirit and the young man suddenly opened their tightly closed eyes and said in unison, "Here it comes!"

The moment the words fell, the spiritual power in Ye Yu's body instantly boiled over, and the originally milky white chaotic spiritual power actually gave off a hint of black light.

The interweaving of black and white seems to contain supreme power.

The two colors of spiritual power intertwined with each other and seemed to repel each other, but in fact, both Ding Ling and the young man could feel the deep bond between the two colors of spiritual power.

They were born from each other, and although they were weak during their interaction, they were constantly enhancing Ye Yu's aura.

"What kind of road is this?!" The young man widened his eyes, somewhat incredulous.

Seeing this, Ding Ling shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, then slowly closed his eyes and sensed Ye Yu's sea of ​​consciousness.

After a long while, Ding Ling finally asked in surprise, "Cause and effect?"

"Cause and effect? ​​What kind of path is this? This kid really disappoints me." The young man sighed, his face a little unhappy.

Ding Ling didn't say anything, his eyes became deep. He had never seen this road before.

Great Yan Imperial City.

The Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast looked at Liu Qi and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Still no news about that kid?"

Liu Qi shook his head with a grim expression.

"What should we do? The Ye family's people are about to arrive, but he's missing. What should we do? How about, Lao Liu, let's run?"
