Danwu God Emperor

For a moment, Mu Wanrou became much quieter. Ye Lou could easily guess that there must be a problem with the Brahma Sound Pavilion itself. Since she didn't want to talk about it, Ye Lou naturally wouldn't ask any more questions.

However, he valued the kindness shown to him by the Brahma Sound Workshop more and more.

Following Aunt Lan all the way to the entrance of Fanyinfang, Ye Lou was no longer so confused when he went inside. The women dancing gracefully on the stage must all be members of the Ming Department of Fanyinfang.

Every corner, they stood there meticulously, and even an unassuming man passing by could be a member of the Brahma Sound Pavilion's guards.

As soon as the group entered the Brahma Sound Hall, a man walked over from a corner. He had an ordinary appearance, his hair was tied back with a headband, and his face was full of anxiety, revealing many forehead wrinkles.

The man hurried over and was taken aback when he saw Ding Mao and the other strangers. He was especially surprised to see Ye Lou, who was very close to Mu Wanrou. He then relaxed and cautiously said, "Aunt Lan, Yu Tianyi is here!"

"What is he doing here?" Mu Wanrou clearly didn't want to hear that name.

"Where is he now?" Aunt Lan's attitude wasn't very good either.

The man pointed to the courtyard behind the Brahma Sound House and said, "I'll be waiting for you inside."

Aunt Lan looked in the direction, her brows furrowed, and she walked straight inside without hesitation. Mu Wanrou and the man followed closely behind. Ding Mao and Ye Lou exchanged glances, unable to make a decision.

The visitor's surname is Yu, which is probably a family matter of the Fanyinfang, so it's not appropriate for them to get involved. However, Aunt Lan has a grudge against this person, so they can help out if problems arise.

Ye Lou gave a wry smile. "Professor Ding, let's go up and take a look. Maybe we can be of some help."

Ding Mao nodded. Xi Yan, who was never one to talk much in crowded places, silently followed the two inside.

Upon entering, one could see two adult men and a young man standing in the room. Both men were dressed in gray robes and were serious and unsmiling. The young man appeared to be a few years older than Ye Lou.

However, her temperament and appearance were extraordinary, her eyes were filled with arrogance, and she showed no respect whatsoever to Aunt Lan.

"Yu Tianyi, what are you doing here? You're not welcome here!" Mu Wanrou was furious. She was like a different person as soon as she entered the door. It was not hard to see that she had a big grudge against Yu Tianyi.

"Of course I came to see you, my little sister Wanrou!" Yu Tianyi said nonchalantly as he approached Mu Wanrou with amusement, clicking his tongue and saying, "With that face, if I weren't your brother, how could I bear to give it to someone else?"

"You dare call yourself my brother? You bastard!" Mu Wanrou sneered.

"You..." Yu Tianyi's smiling face instantly changed, his expression turning icy, his deep eyes unfathomable, bursting with intense killing intent, his entire aura seemingly about to engulf Mu Wanrou.

The fourth level of the Spirit Guiding Realm!

When he unleashed his power, Ye Lou immediately recognized his cultivation level and was quite surprised. After all, he looked to be nearly twenty years old, yet he already possessed strength approaching that of Elder Chongzhong. It seemed that disciples from major families were indeed different.

Mu Wanrou stood there motionless, showing no fear whatsoever.

Ye Lou and Aunt Lan were already prepared to take action; as long as Yu Tianyi made a move, they would make him pay double.

Time seemed to stand still!

"Good! Very good!" Yu Tianyi laughed loudly, but his laughter was laced with malice and extremely cold. He returned to his previous position and said, "The time limit given to you by the family is running out. I want to see how long you can remain arrogant."

After saying that, Yu Tianyi looked up at the surroundings of the Brahma Sound Pavilion and continued, "I don't think you've managed this place very well. Your cultivation level has only just broken through to the Spirit Induction Realm. I want to see how you complete the task your family has given you."

"Don't worry about me!"

"Hmph! Let's go!" Yu Tianyi gave the order and headed towards the door, with the two men following closely behind.

The three men swaggered past Ye Lou, focusing all their attention on their own demeanor and paying no attention to him. Unexpectedly, Ye Lou suddenly stretched out a foot, and Yu Tianyi kicked him in the foot, causing him to stagger forward a few steps.

"Oh my god!"

He was instantly filled with rage and had just turned around.

"Are you blind?" Ye Lou shouted, completely startling Yu Tianyi. His eyes nearly popped out of his head, and he felt as if he had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, unable to come out or swallow it.

Mu Wanrou and Xi Yan chuckled at the same time, while Ding Mao and Aunt Lan also showed helpless smiles.

Who the hell is this?! He's even more arrogant than me!

Yu Tianyi was completely dumbfounded. He was usually the one bullying others, and he had never been teased like this before. Were all the people from this remote and impoverished Wushan Town so arrogant? Mu Wanrou, I can't touch you, but I can teach a country bumpkin a lesson.

"I...I'm so angry I have nowhere to vent! What kind of piece of trash are you? I didn't cause you any trouble, and you're bullying me like this!"

Yu Tianyi's chest heaved with anger as he charged forward, followed by two adult men who also unleashed their powerful auras, striding step by step toward Ye Lou.

"I'm going to kill you today!"

Yu Tianyi's face was full of murderous intent, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He seemed to have already imagined how he would toy with Ye Lou, and he couldn't help but laugh.

But as soon as the three of them arrived outside the room, they saw Ding Mao and Xi Yan blocking the doorway, staring at them with serious expressions. A surge of spiritual energy erupted from their bodies, and the two of them were like two mountains that they could not cross.

A surge of spiritual energy rushed towards him, causing him to stagger backward, his face filled with terror.

"His strength is actually above Aunt Lan's."

Although Yu Tianyi's behavior was arrogant, he was not stupid. His strength was by no means that of an ordinary person. However, when he saw Ye Lou lazily stretching behind the two of them, his anger could not be quelled.

With such strength, and the fact that Aunt Lan invited him in, his background must be extraordinary.

"Who are you people?" Yu Tianyi glared at Ye Lou.

"Tianyi!" These two simple words resonated like thunder in the ears!

"Young Master..." The two men behind him suddenly stepped forward, fearing that their young master would act impulsively.

"No need to say anything more!" Yu Tianyi waved his hand, already having his own plans.

While the Brahma Sound Pavilion is powerful in Radiant City and is among the top forces, it ultimately dares not challenge Tianyi Academy.

"I've really lost here today, so don't get too cocky!" Yu Tianyi nodded through gritted teeth, looking at each of them with a face full of resentment.

After saying that, he left the mansion with two of his men.

After Yu Tianyi left, Mu Wanrou finally couldn't hold back anymore and burst into laughter. "Just because you're a student of Tianyi, aren't you afraid Yu Tianyi will retaliate against you? He's used to being arrogant and holds grudges!"

"I don't care about him anymore. Isn't he bullying you? Even if I'm not a student of Tianyi, I'll teach him a lesson!" Ye Lou scratched the back of his head, not knowing why he said this, and suddenly felt a little pretentious.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously!

Mu Wanrou bit her lower lip, glancing shyly at Ding Mao and the others. A warm feeling washed over her, sweeter than honey.

Aunt Lan shook her head with a wry smile. It seemed that this girl was really in love!

"By the way, who is this guy? Judging from his surname, Yu, he's also from the Fanyin Pavilion?" Ye Lou smiled sheepishly and quickly changed the subject.

"Wanrou, why don't you take Ye Lou out for a walk? I need to discuss something with Ding Mao and the others," Aunt Lan said calmly.

"Oh, okay!" Mu Wanrou blushed and just wanted to escape from here. Without saying another word, she walked out.

Ye Lou followed behind and went out. He completely trusted Ding Mao and Aunt Lan. Even if this was a way to get rid of him, he absolutely believed that it was for his own good.

Ye Lou and Mu Wanrou strolled slowly down the long corridor. This was the first time they had taken such a peaceful walk, and the atmosphere was surprisingly awkward.

"Um...you still haven't told me who this Yu Tianyi is?" Ye Lou asked.

"What a bastard!" Mu Wanrou was furious as soon as she heard his name. "He is my uncle's adopted son. My uncle also has a biological daughter, Yu Xiliu, who is his sister. The Fanyin Pavilion has always only allowed women to be the head of the family. Yu Xiliu and I are the next candidates for the head of the family, and he is targeting me at every turn."

"I see." Ye Lou nodded, but he didn't expect Mu Wanrou to have such a high status, that she was actually a candidate for the position of family head.

"Then what does he mean by saying your deadline is approaching?" Ye Lou became increasingly interested, and the question in his mind blurted out.

Mu Wanrou was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up and asked, "Do you really want to know?"

Ye Lou nodded.

"Alright, then I'll tell you!" Mu Wanrou pouted. "You should have heard that the power of our Fanyin Pavilion is not what it used to be. The five major families are only superficially united. This year, when the five major families held a meeting, they completely tore off their masks. The four major families unanimously decided to split the Yu family out and no longer be on par with them."

"Why?" Ye Lou trembled. This was a secret of the five great families, and Mu Wanrou actually told him.

"They just want to take a share of the Yu family's resources."

"You agreed?"

"Of course they wouldn't agree. My aunt said that even if all the resources were destroyed, they wouldn't give them to the four major families. In the end, they had no choice but to compromise. As long as Fanyinfang could gain a foothold in a first-class city within a year, the Yu family would not be separated again."

"But a year is no easy time, and the family only has one solution."

"What method?" Ye Lou suddenly stopped in his tracks, sensing something was wrong.

“Ritan City is a first-class city. They want to marry me to the son of the city lord of Ritan City so that they can…”

"No! How can this be!" Before Mu Wanrou could finish speaking, Ye Lou immediately retorted, "They're using you as a bargaining chip, shameless!"

"Fortunately, my aunt and mother objected, so I still had some say. Therefore, my family made an agreement with me, assigning me to the branch in Wushan Town. Only if I get first place in the branch assessment six months later can I avoid marrying the son of the city lord of Ritan City."

As she spoke, Mu Wanrou could no longer control her emotions and threw herself onto Ye Lou's shoulder, bursting into tears.

Ye Lou was deeply moved. He had always thought she was carefree, but he never expected that such a small body would bear such a great burden. In fact, she knew better than anyone else, but she just didn't say it.

"Silly girl, six months is enough!" Ye Lou suddenly released her shoulder, gazing at her beautiful, tear-streaked face, giving her only a resolute look. "You are my woman, Ye Lou's woman, and no one can take you away!"
