Peerless Beauty: Picking Up a Beast as My Husband

Just as Su Fengyang was immersed in his disappointment that Ye Huasheng might not come to the academy, a hateful word suddenly entered his ears.

"The four great families, the Ye family and the Liu family, have arrived!"

The Ye family has a grudge against Feng Hua!

The leader was tall and burly, but his eyes were murky and full of scheming. He was Ye Jingming from the second branch of the Ye family. His behavior was an insult to the clear and bright character of the name. His most beloved children were by his side.

Ye Xilan is like a proud peacock.

Ye Luotian is like a conceited lion.

However, these two are truly worthy of being Ye Jingming's children, being exactly alike.

Following behind were Liu Wenji, the head of the Liu family, and Liu Rushuang, who was known as the most beautiful woman among the four major families.

Su Yi didn't want to pay attention to them to avoid getting into trouble, and wanted to take Su Fengyang directly to the registration office, but unexpectedly Ye Jingming suddenly cut in front of them with his men.

"Oh, Brother Su, it's been a long time. Are you here to register your disciple for the academy? What a coincidence! I'm also here to register my son Luo Tian. If you're not in a hurry, Brother Su, you might as well wait until Luo Tian has registered before you go over."

Su Yi sneered:

"That's quite unfortunate. I've brought my son here today to register for the strongest academy. Surely the Ye family understands the principle of first come, first served?"

Before Ye Jingming could reply, Liu Wenji spoke up:

“Brother Su, that’s not right of you. The Ye family is the head of the four major families, so it naturally plays a leading role. Brother Ye’s son will inherit the Ye family in the future. What’s wrong with letting the Ye family register first?”

“I naturally acknowledge that the Ye family is the head of the four great families, but he is only the acting head of the family now. The head of the family is still sitting in the main family mansion. In terms of seniority, I, the head of the Su family, am much older than him.” Su Yi said calmly, but his words hit Ye Jingming’s weak spot.

That's right. Even though he is the recognized next head of the Ye family, the old master of the Ye family has been reluctant to relinquish power. He is not the head of the Ye family yet, which is a long-standing pain in his heart that he dares not mention to outsiders. However, the Su family, which is also one of the four great families, is not afraid of this.

Su Fengyang glanced at Ye Jingming's expression and couldn't help but give his father a big thumbs up.

"Su Yi, don't think that just because your wife is backing you up, the Ye family won't dare to touch you!" Ye Jingming said angrily.

Su Yi's wife is the daughter of the sect leader of the Weapon Refining Sect, so even though the Su family's reputation is not as great as the Ye family's, the Ye family does not dare to make a move easily. After all, if they offend the Weapon Refining Sect, their disciples will not have a supply of weapons.

Su Yi, however, said smugly, "So what? This is a powerful alliance. If you're so capable, get your wife to back you up!" Is this what they call being a kept man...?

However, it must be said that every word Su Yi said hit Ye Jingming's sore spot. Ye Jingming is not good-looking, not talented, and the young ladies from big families look down on him, while the girls from small families who try to get close to him can't help him.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, another voice rang out:

"The four great families, the Yun family, and the royal family have arrived!" Upon hearing this, not only the onlookers but also Su Yi and Ye Jingming couldn't help but be curious. Putting aside the Yun family, the royal family never participated in the academy's admissions. Why were they here this time, and with such a grand entourage!

A well-organized army of a hundred men arrived in perfect order. The man at the very front, exuding an aura of righteousness, was none other than the current emperor of the Holy City, Murong Xuan. Beside him stood the ethereal woman, Empress Yun Qianzhi.

Just as the onlookers were about to kneel down in respect, the emperor spoke.

"Since we are not in the palace today, we cannot perform the grand ceremony." People stopped, only to find that Empress Yun Qianzhi was holding the hand of an unfamiliar young man. Everyone was guessing the identity of this young man, while Su Fengyang's eyes widened. Wasn't this dull-witted boy Yun Che? Who exactly was he, and where did he go?

Yun Che obviously saw him too, and winked at him.

Su Fengyang: "Holy crap, it really is Yun Che!"

Ye Jingming and Liu Wenji lowered their heads when they saw the royal family arrive. Although the royal family had declined, the Yun family and the royal family were related by marriage. Even though the family was powerful, the royal family still had a good lineage.

The two bowed slightly:

"Greetings, Your Majesty and Empress." Su Yi, not wanting to be impolite, immediately replied:

"Your Majesty, the Empress greets you."

"So all three family heads are here. Are you here to bring your juniors to the academy's admissions? The one behind Patriarch Ye is your son, isn't he? He certainly has an extraordinary bearing. I've heard your son is already a Level Six Holy Spirit Warrior. Truly, heroes emerge from among the young; his advancement to Spirit Master is just around the corner! And your daughter is a genuine beauty." Murong Xuan finished praising the Ye family's children with an air of nonchalance, and then continued:

"Patriarch Liu, your daughter truly lives up to her reputation as the most beautiful woman among the four great families. Moreover, her talent is truly exceptional."

"Patriarch Su, I heard that your son's cultivation has improved even further since his return. Truly, like father, like son!" It must be said that Murong Xuan's flattery was quite effective, not only making the patriarchs feel good, but also improving the mood of the younger generation.

At this moment, Yun Qianzhi glanced at him lightly, and he immediately straightened his expression.

"Let me introduce you all, this is my son, Murong Yunche. He was sickly from a young age and was sent outside the palace to recuperate. He has only returned now that he is twenty. He is my and the Empress's only son. After he enters the academy, I hope you young masters will take good care of him." The only son, isn't that the Crown Prince!

"Your Majesty is too kind. It is an honor for my son to be in the same academy as a prince. Luo Tian will definitely take good care of his younger brother in the future."

"Yes, father."

While Ye Jingming outwardly said this, his mind was already racing. If he could get on the good side of the royal family, he would be able to speak with real authority in front of Su Yi.

“Since everyone is here to register, Your Highness, please go first,” Liu Wenji said, trying to play the good guy.

Yun Qianzhi did not refuse and immediately wanted to take Yun Che to the registration office, but unexpectedly Yun Che walked to Su Fengyang alone.

"Brother Fengyang, hasn't Fenghua arrived yet?"

"I'm still waiting for him too. Maybe something has delayed him?" Yun Che's eyes then showed worry. Since Feng Hua had made an appointment with them, she would definitely keep her promise. He was just afraid that she had encountered the danger she mentioned.

But the other people's reaction was that the two of them...

We actually know each other!

Before Yun Qianzhi and Su Yi could ask about the specifics, they heard a voice coming from the academy.

"Is anyone else signing up for the strongest academy? Nobody's here. This old man's going back to sleep!"

"Sir, coming right away." They didn't know who this old man was at the strongest academy, but he spoke so casually. However, they didn't dare to offend him. The academy was full of hidden talents, and who knew which one of them might become their child's teacher.

Yun Che was the first to stand in front of the registration area.

"Place your hand on the jade tablet and release your spiritual power to the maximum extent." Yun Che looked at the crystal-clear jade tablet in front of him and placed his hand on it.

This jade pendant is called the Spirit Jade. It can display the user's age, cultivation level, and talent. Green indicates ordinary, blue indicates high-grade, and purple indicates top-grade.

A dazzling purple light flashed, and then several large characters appeared in the sky.

"At twenty years old, he was at the fourth level of the Holy Spirit Training Program."

"Although the prince's cultivation level is not high, his talent is top-notch, and his future is limitless," Ye Jingming said obsequiously.

The old man at the registration desk calmly tossed a purple jade pendant from his pocket: "Report to the Purple Extreme Class tomorrow."

Yun Che returned to the group, and Ye Luotian proudly raised his head and placed his hand on the spirit jade.

Surprisingly, another purple light flashed.

"Twenty-four years old, Holy Spirit Warrior Level Six." This immediately caused an uproar among the surrounding crowd.

"Holy crap, another top-tier talent!"

"Such a young Holy Spirit Warrior Level 6, I must say, the heirs of great families are truly something else!"

Ye Xilan, standing to the side, seemed to be receiving a compliment:

"With brother's talent, he will surely become the number one person in the four major families in the future. No matter how hard some people try, their talent is what it is, and they can never compare to brother!" After that, her eyes glanced intentionally or unintentionally in the direction of the Su family, as if she was referring to something.

Su Fengyang wasn't annoyed; he just smiled and walked towards the registration area. At that moment, Ye Luotian had already received the same jade pendant as Yun Che and came down triumphantly.

As they brushed past each other, Su Fengyang said:

"Some people think they are exceptionally talented and superior to others, but little do they know that there are always people better than them and there is always something beyond their understanding. On the other hand, some people are like pearls hidden in the dust. Even if they face many hardships, they will eventually shine brightly. Perhaps someone will come and prove them wrong in no time, haha."

"Su Fengyang, you're just being a sour grapes," Ye Luotian retorted.

Su Fengyang ignored him and walked right past him. He placed his hand on the ground, and purple light appeared! Suddenly, purple light appeared again!

"Twenty-two years old, a sixth-level Holy Spirit Warrior."

"There are always perverts every year, but there seem to be more this year than ever! Three absolute monsters have shown up today."

"At twenty-two, isn't that even more talented than the young master of the Ye family?"

Ye Luotian's face flushed red. This guy had actually upgraded to a level six Holy Spirit Warrior without anyone noticing. Was he waiting to slap him in the face?

Su Fengyang also received the same jade pendant, which served as their pass within the academy. Holding the pendant, he thought to himself: Fenghua, if you don't come soon, it will really be too late!
