Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

Zhao Yuxuan drove silently, listening to Ye Yu and Zhao Yuci chatting casually, until they reached the city.

Suzhou is a city with a strong Jiangnan (southern China) charm, possessing both the beauty of gardens and the elegance of mountains and rivers. Although bustling, it is also tranquil, a city that allows people to find peace.

The car drove onto a street, passing by white walls and black tiles, small bridges and flowing water, and slowly drove into a garden with the words "Zhao Mansion" written on it.

Unlike the secluded lifestyle of the Ding family, the Zhao family's lifestyle had a sense of being a true hermit hidden in the city.

The car drove directly into the yard and stopped.

The two Zhao brothers led Ye Yu through the archway and then through a long corridor to the living room.

Zhao Shanyuan was sitting upright in the seat of honor, with Zhao Jing and Xu Jia sitting beside him, talking to him.

"grandfather."

Zhao Yuci strode into the living room and called out to Zhao Shanyuan. Zhao Yuxuan and Ye Yu followed him in.

When Zhao Jing and Xu Jia saw Ye Yu walking behind, they rushed forward and surrounded her, checking her over several times: "Xiao Yu, are you alright? Are you hurt?"

Knowing they were worried about her, Ye Yu quickly reassured them, "I'm fine, I'm not hurt, I'm perfectly alright."

"That's good. I heard that a very powerful sect is hunting you down. I was so worried about you."

Ye Yu put on a flattering expression, helped Zhao Jing to a chair to sit down, and then turned to Zhao Shanyuan to express her gratitude: "Mr. Zhao, thank you so much for taking care of me these past few days and for bringing my mother and the others here."

Zhao Shanyuan laughed heartily, raising his right hand to stop Ye Yu from thanking him: "Don't be so polite, we're practically family."

Ye Yu nodded: "I vaguely heard Zhao Yuci mention it on the way here."

"Haha, since we're family, don't be so polite. Helping each other is only right. And don't call me Old Zhao anymore, it sounds too formal. According to seniority, you should call me Uncle."

Ye Yu glanced at Zhao Jing, who nodded at her. Only then did Ye Yu smile and call out to Zhao Shanyuan, "Uncle."

"Oh, good boy."

Zhao Shanyuan was overjoyed.

"And me, according to the order of birth, you should call me Third Brother." Zhao Yuci stared at Ye Yu with expectant eyes.

Ye Yu turned around and sat down next to Zhao Jing: "Anyway, we're not that different from each other, so let's just call each other by our names."

“Oh, that won’t do. Of course, we have to call them according to their ranking.”

"How about we go out and have a showdown? Let's settle this with our strength?"

Upon hearing Ye Yu's words, Zhao Yuci immediately fell silent and muttered softly, "Anyway, we're about the same age, so it's fine for us to call each other by our first names."

Everyone in the hall burst into laughter, and even Zhao Yuxuan shook his head and chuckled.

Looking at Zhao Yuxuan, who was outstanding in appearance and had a cool temperament, Ye Yu thought to herself: It's a good thing I gave up the idea of ​​sleeping with him back then, otherwise it would be very awkward if we became siblings now.

After everyone chatted and laughed for a while, Zhao Shanyuan asked, "Ye Yu, how exactly did you kill Shan Shuhai? He was a master at the early stage of the Earth Rank."

The fact that Shan Shuhai was killed by Ye Yu is now known throughout the ancient martial arts world, and everyone is very curious about how Ye Yu killed him.

Ye Yu briefly explained what had happened to everyone, which left them all amazed.

Zhao Shanyuan sighed, "I never expected Shan Shuhai to be so despicable. When we met the Shen family on the road and learned about this, we rushed over, but we couldn't find either of you. In the end, we found some clues around the area, and Yu Xuan brought back the pile of ashes on the ground for testing, which confirmed that you had indeed killed Shan Shuhai."

"Moreover, he was very cautious. Before he left, he actually told the elders in the sect that he was going to intercept and kill you. If he failed to return, he must have been killed by you. I guess he left this poem because he was afraid of your master."

Ye Yu chuckled: "I was lucky. I was originally planning to find a chance to escape."

She then added, "Uncle, there's something else I'd like to discuss with you today."

"what's up?"

"I want to eradicate the Tiger Tail Sect completely."

"what?"

Everyone in the room was shocked. Tiger Tail Sect was a major sect in the world of antiques, with a complete lineage, numerous disciples, and formidable power.

Zhao Shanyuan stared at Ye Yu and said, "Girl, although Shan Shuhai is dead, there are still three elders in the Tiger Tail Sect. Their cultivation is only one level lower than Shan Shuhai's. Not to mention, there are countless disciples in the sect, and many of them are very capable."

Ye Yu chuckled: "I know. I'll deal with the three elders then, and you can handle the rest."

Hearing Ye Yu's words, everyone was shocked again.

Zhao Jing looked worried: "Xiaoyu, although I don't know anything about the ancient martial arts world, it's already so difficult to deal with Shan Shuhai alone. How can you possibly handle those three people together?"

Ye Yu grasped Zhao Jing's hand: "Trust me, if I can't handle it, Master will step in."

These words instantly gave everyone confidence.

Zhao Shanyuan slapped the armrest of his chair and said, "Since that's the case, we need to make a good plan. I think we can contact a few other families and see if they are willing to help. After all, Tiger Tail Sect is still very large, and my Zhao family alone may not be able to swallow it up."

The group discussed the matter for an entire afternoon until Butler Zhao appeared and invited them to move to the dining room. Only then did they realize that it was already time for dinner.

After dinner, Ye Yu, arm in arm with Zhao Jing, strolled slowly through the garden with Xu Jia.

Xu Jia gave Ye Yu a general overview of the cosmetics company and the jewelry company, so that Ye Yu could have a general understanding.

The three returned to Zhao Jing's room, and Ye Yu asked, "Mom, what exactly is going on between us and the Zhao family?"

“Sigh, your aunt and I have never heard your maternal grandparents mention this. Yesterday we came to the Zhao family, and an old man here hesitated for a moment when he saw me. He came up to me and asked if I knew Zhao Shanyang. I said he was my father, and that’s when everyone realized that your maternal grandfather was a member of the Zhao family.”

"Then why don't you know about the Zhao family either?"

"I heard it from that old man. Your maternal grandfather's lineage was a branch of the Zhao family, and they were usually responsible for managing the Zhao family's business dealings. But your maternal grandfather was devoted to academic research and had no interest in managing the business, so he left the Zhao family to study elsewhere and became a teacher. After that, he met your maternal grandmother, got married, and never came back. Your maternal grandfather never told us about his background, and we didn't know until he passed away."

Fate is a mysterious thing. If it weren't for the Zhao family's help, probably no one would know that Zhao Jing had this connection with the Zhao family.

The three of them talked in Zhao Jing's room for a while longer until late at night, when Ye Yu and Xu Jia finally left the room and went back to their own rooms to rest.
