A magical journey of a sharp-tongued woman and a goofy man

Ye Shuli was slightly taken aback. Seeing Jiang Ye's gaze, a thought struck her. Jiang Ye knew that continuing to entangle with Dr. Mo would be extremely dangerous, and he couldn't let Ye Shuli be in danger. So, he made a decisive move to take her away from this dangerous place.

Without a word, Jiang Ye grabbed Ye Shuli's hand, turned and left, leaving behind the young master of Youyun Sect, Dr. Mo, standing alone in the wind, bewildered.

An awkward yet authoritative atmosphere filled the air, like a meticulously prepared entrance by a domineering CEO, only to find that the audience had all left.

"Li'er, let's go first!" Jiang Ye's voice trembled slightly, revealing a depth of emotion far from his outward calm.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze, making it hard for him to breathe.

He could sense that ever since Dr. Mo appeared, the atmosphere had become strangely eerie, like the calm before a storm, which stirred up a nameless unease in his heart.

He glanced at Ye Shuli; her gaze remained firm, but her tightly pursed lips betrayed the turmoil within her.

Jiang Ye's heart tightened; he felt as if he could no longer hold onto her.

Thinking back to that young master Lin and that mysterious young master Su, the way they looked at Ye Shuli was filled with naked love.

Jiang Ye knew that each of them was stronger and more outstanding than him.

He was like a pitiful little puppy who had finally managed to protect his treasure, only to find that he was surrounded by wolves who coveted it.

This feeling is even worse than swallowing ten bitter melons.

"Hiss—" Jiang Ye felt as if his heart was being squeezed by an invisible hand, and a series of sharp pains made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He really wanted to ask Ye Shuli what she was thinking, but he swallowed the words back.

He was afraid; he was afraid of hearing an answer he didn't want to hear.

This unknown fear, like a giant spider, wove an impenetrable web in his heart.

He held Ye Shuli's hand tightly, his palms already covered in sweat.

He knew he had to become stronger in order to protect the people he wanted to protect.

He could no longer be a smooth-talking clown; he had to become her strong support.

The two remained silent the entire way, the atmosphere so oppressive it was suffocating. Jiang Ye had a feeling that something was about to happen, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Just then, a commotion arose from not far away.

"Li'er, you look so beautiful today!" A gentle voice reached Ye Shuli's ears, carrying a hint of barely perceptible doting.

Ye Shuli turned to look at the source of the sound and saw Young Master Su slowly walking out of the crowd. His eyes were full of tenderness and a faint smile was on his lips, as if the sun was shining on his face, making people feel a kind of inexplicable warmth.

"Li'er, you look so beautiful today!" Young Master Su's voice was gentle as water, with a hint of barely perceptible doting.

Ye Shuli's heart trembled slightly.

Just then, Young Master Lin walked over from the other side, a domineering smile on his face.

His eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, as if they could pierce through all pretense and reach the depths of one's soul in an instant.

"Ye Shuli, you are especially dazzling today." Young Master Lin's voice was deep and magnetic, each word seemingly rippling in the air, making one's heart beat faster involuntarily.

Surrounded by the two young masters, Ye Shuli involuntarily took a step back, feeling a surge of irritation.

Her fingers trembled slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Their gazes were piercing, as if they wanted to see right through her.

Jiang Ye stood to the side, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

A fire seemed to be burning in his heart, but he felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness.

He could sense Ye Shuli's unease, but he didn't know how to help her.

He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, yet he still couldn't suppress the anxiety in his heart.

Ye Shuli took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

She raised her head, her gaze sweeping firmly over the two men, and said, "I appreciate your kindness, gentlemen, but I have more important matters to attend to. I hope you can understand."

Young Master Su smiled gently and nodded slightly: "Li'er, go ahead and do what you need to do. I will support you silently from behind."

Young Master Lin raised an eyebrow slightly, but I'll remember what happened today.

Ye Shuli smiled slightly, feeling a sense of relief, but also a mix of complex emotions.

She knew this was not the end, but another beginning.

As Jiang Ye watched this scene, his eyes gradually hardened.

A strong fighting spirit suddenly ignited in his heart. He knew he could not back down and could not let Ye Shuli face all of this alone.

He held Ye Shuli's hand tightly and whispered, "Li'er, I will always be by your side. No matter what happens, I will protect you."

Ye Shuli looked back at Jiang Ye, nodded, and felt a warm feeling well up in her heart.

Just then, the noise in the distance suddenly grew louder, and an ominous premonition lingered in her heart.

"Elder Wu has arrived." Jiang Ye's voice was low and firm, as if announcing an ominous sign.

Elder Wu's old face was as gloomy as if he had just been dug out of a coal mine.

He was so angry when he learned that Ye Shuli had once again stolen the spotlight at the banquet that his beard almost stood on end.

This little girl is a thorn in his side!

"It seems we need to speed up the plan. Keeping her around will only cause trouble sooner or later!" Elder Wu said viciously, his eyes flashing with a sinister light.

"Elder, the assassins are ready and awaiting your orders." A man in black knelt on one knee, his voice low and cold, like a messenger from hell.

Elder Wu's lips curled into a cruel smile. "Very well, send them to the Ye family's ancestral land and make sure they bring back Ye Shuli's head!"

At the same time, Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye are stepping into the place where the Ye family ancestors inherited their legacy.

Ancient trees reach for the sky, strange rocks abound, and the eerie atmosphere sends chills down your spine, like a scene from a horror movie.

"This place feels eerie, a bit scary," Jiang Ye complained as he followed closely behind Ye Shuli.

He's like a husky being led around by its owner; he's sharp-tongued but secretly a little scared.

Ye Shuli looked around. Something was definitely wrong here. There was a faint smell of blood in the air, which made her uneasy.

"Be careful, Jiang Ye, things might not be safe here." She gripped her weapon tightly, her eyes scanning the surroundings warily.

Just then, the surrounding air suddenly froze, and several dark figures darted out from the shadows, carrying a chilling murderous aura, and pounced straight at the two.

"Wow, speak of the devil and he appears! This efficiency is too high!" Before Jiang Ye could finish his complaint, he saw a series of gleaming blades coming towards them.

"Watch out!" Ye Shuli shouted, taking the initiative to strike. Her longsword drew a sharp arc, colliding with the assassin's weapon and producing a piercing metallic clang.

Jiang Ye was not to be outdone, and immediately activated "mad dog mode," his spiritual energy surging as he charged towards the assassins.

A fierce battle erupted instantly, with flashing swords and radiating spiritual energy, as if the entire inheritance ground had been ignited.

The assassins were highly trained and worked in perfect coordination; their attacks were as rapid and relentless as a storm, making them impossible to defend against.

Ye Shuli managed to hold her own against the assassins thanks to her exceptional skills and modern fighting techniques.

Although Jiang Ye's cultivation level was not high, his ruthlessness and reckless fighting style made the assassins dare not underestimate him.

"These guys are quite strong. It seems Old Wu really went all out to kill me!" Ye Shuli complained as she fought.

She could sense the powerful spiritual energy emanating from the assassins; each one was no less powerful than her, forcing her to go all out.

The battle continued, the air thick with the stench of blood and the acrid smell of clashing spiritual energy. The rubble on the ground was also scattered everywhere by the aftershocks of the battle. Seeing that the battle was dragging on, the assassins gradually became impatient and their attacks became more and more fierce.

Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye's physical strength gradually declined, and the situation became more severe.

Suddenly, an assassin seized the opportunity, and a sharp blade slashed through Ye Shuli's sleeve, leaving a bloody gash on her arm, the blood instantly staining her clothes red.

"Li'er!" Jiang Ye was enraged when he saw Ye Shuli injured. He roared and his attack became even more ferocious, like an angry beast.

However, just as he was distracted, a sharp pain came from his back...

“You…” Jiang Ye turned his head and saw an assassin disguised as one of his own.

Upon seeing this, Ye Shuli's anger flared up instantly, and she roared, "Despicable!"

At this critical moment, Ye Shuli suddenly felt a warm force coming from beneath her feet, as if something was calling to her.

She looked down and saw that the ground of the inheritance site was faintly glowing, as if an ancient and powerful force was awakening.

Ye Shuli's heart stirred, and she immediately focused her energy, trying to communicate with this power.

In an instant, her vision was filled with dazzling light, and she seemed to hear the whispers of her ancestors. The power slowly rose from her feet, and she could clearly feel the power flowing through her body, as if every cell had been activated.

She shouted, and the longsword in her hand burst forth with unprecedented light. With a single swing, powerful spiritual energy surged towards the assassins like a raging wave.

The assassins felt an overwhelming force coming at them, which they were unable to resist. They were knocked off balance and fled in a sorry state.

Watching the assassins flee, Ye Shuli breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Ye looked at her, his eyes full of surprise: "Li'er, you're amazing! You're like a Super Saiyan!" Ye Shuli rolled her eyes at him, but couldn't help but smile.

However, she knew that this was only a temporary reprieve from the assassins, and Elder Wu would certainly not give up so easily.

Moreover, the emotional entanglements between Jiang Ye, Young Master Lin, and Young Master Su are still tangled up in her like a mess.

Ye Shuli gazed into the distance, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Jiang Ye looked at her profile, hesitating to speak.

At this moment, the surroundings were so quiet that only the rustling of the wind through the leaves could be heard, just like their complicated state of mind. The story left a suspense here, wondering how Ye Shuli would deal with the challenges ahead and how she would make a choice in this complicated emotional vortex.
