Chapter 2345 - 2346: Tell the Old Demon to Come Out
Although the king had never mentioned the evil lord to Ye Xunhuan, Ye Xunhuan was well aware in his heart that the king must have been suspicious long ago, and might even already know.
He just hadn’t spoken up, because after all, some things don’t need to be spoken, it’s enough for everyone to be aware of them.
Dragon’s Head fell into silence, though he really didn’t want to admit it, he had to concede that what Ye Xunhuan said was the truth!
Someone as astute as the king, how could he not have suspicions?
Seeing Dragon’s Head silent, Ye Xunhuan spoke again, "Regardless of whether I go to the Ye family or not, he will have suspicions in his heart, and he won’t spare me. So why shouldn’t I go?"
"To put it bluntly, if I fail to fight against the king and end up killed by him, then I’ll never be able to step into the Ye family in this lifetime." Ye Xunhuan said lightly to the king: "Rather than that, why shouldn’t I just follow my heart!"
"If anyone wants to kill me, come and try, I only have one head, whoever is capable can come and take it!"
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan appeared quite bold, exuding an aura of disdain for life and death, daring anyone who’s unafraid to come at him, to see who could outplay whom in the end!
"Actually, taking a step back might be better." Dragon’s Head said softly, "At least you won’t push yourself into a desperate situation, not entirely surrounded with nowhere to turn!"
Ye Xunhuan chuckled lightly and answered casually, "It’s just a matter of time, moreover, without being in a desperate situation, how could one realize their full potential?"
"To live and move forward, one must be spurred, must have motivation. Otherwise, even if there is progress, it’s very minimal, and only in a desperate situation will one’s potential be fully unleashed!"
"You’re completely breaking the cauldrons and sinking the boats!"
"Call it what you will." Ye Xunhuan said calmly, "You only need to tell me if you’re going to take me there."
"If I say I won’t take you, will you find your own way there?"
Ye Xunhuan did not deny it, nodding directly to admit, "You’re right, if you don’t take me, I will find my own way there."
"At that time, what will happen in the Ye family, I can’t say."
Ye Xunhuan’s words were filled with a sense of threat, in effect, he was set on Dragon’s Head, which filled Dragon’s Head’s heart with unprecedented helplessness.
If someone else had said it, Dragon’s Head undoubtedly wouldn’t care, might even teach them not to be so arrogant!
But these were Ye Xunhuan’s words, his own nephew, and he really had no way to deal with it.
Ye Xunhuan didn’t pressure Dragon’s Head further, but silently waited for him to speak, knowing that Dragon’s Head would definitely give him an answer!
After two or three minutes had passed, Dragon’s Head sighed slightly, "When do you plan to go over?"
With this, Ye Xunhuan understood Dragon’s Head’s intent; he was going to take him there.
And Ye Xunhuan also guessed Dragon’s Head would agree, after all, even if he didn’t, Ye Xunhuan could find the place himself; it would just be a waste of time. Additionally, if Ye Xunhuan sought it out on his own, more unpredictable events might occur, whereas with Dragon’s Head accompanying him, everything might remain under control.
"Tomorrow would be best!" Ye Xunhuan said lightly, "On the sixth, I plan to go to the Summer Hou family in Southeast City; then the wedding preparations that I entrusted others with should be about ready."
"Wedding?" An expression of surprise slowly appeared on Dragon’s Head’s face.
"Yes, wedding!" Ye Xunhuan said softly, "Although I’ve married Ruoxi, we’ve never had a proper wedding, I owe her this, and I must make it up!"
"At that time, if you’re interested, you can come." Ye Xunhuan said earnestly, "Since you’re my elder!"
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan acknowledge him as an elder, Dragon’s Head immediately broke into a smile and said, "Sure, as long as you invite me, no matter where it is, I will definitely come."
"Rest assured, I will surely invite you, but you must prepare a proper gift."
"Of course!" Dragon’s Head stated without hesitation.
Perhaps because Ye Xunhuan accidentally shifted the topic, the previously tense atmosphere started to dissipate slowly. When the two spoke, they appeared relaxed and casual, and the atmosphere turned much more amicable.
However, even so, Ye Xunhuan and Dragon’s Head didn’t stay together for long, after all, the pertinent issues were discussed, continuing to chat would serve no purpose, and might even loop back to those somber topics.
So they sensibly chose to part ways.
As soon as they turned and went their separate ways, Dragon’s Head’s expression grew dark and unpleasant.
Although earlier Ye Xunhuan diverted from the topic of going to the Ye family, and Dragon’s Head chatted leisurely with Ye Xunhuan, it didn’t mean Dragon’s Head forgot what Ye Xunhuan planned to do in the Ye family.
From the depths of his heart, Dragon’s Head really didn’t want to take Ye Xunhuan to the Ye family, because Ye Xunhuan’s visit would essentially be a disaster for the family, and it wasn’t appropriate to block or to comment. Indeed, the Ye family’s actions back then were excessive.
Although Dragon’s Head agreed to take Ye Xunhuan over, inside he felt an unprecedented gloom and helplessness.
"Old monster, just what are you up to!" Dragon’s Head gritted his teeth.
In Dragon’s Head’s view, if it weren’t for the old monster giving the letter left by Qin Fenghuang to Ye Xunhuan, Ye Xunhuan wouldn’t have thought of going to the Ye family now.
The next moment, Dragon’s Head decided to seek the old monster, to ask what he was up to, what his intentions were!
Then, as he departed Houhai, Dragon’s Head went straight to Qin Fenghuang’s tomb.
Because it wasn’t Dragon’s Head’s first visit to Qin Fenghuang’s tomb, he was quite familiar with the route.
Arriving at the site, he immediately shouted, "Old monster, get out here, get out..."
As soon as Dragon’s Head started speaking, four guards of Qin Fenghuang’s tomb appeared beside him.
"Third Master, what are you up to again today?"
"Get the old monster out here." Dragon’s Head’s face was ashen as he said, "Today, I must ask him what he’s up to."
Seeing Dragon’s Head’s furious expression, the four guards realized the old monster must’ve done something unbeknownst to them that enraged Dragon’s Head; otherwise, he wouldn’t appear like this.
But what the old monster did that prompted such anger in Dragon’s Head, they couldn’t fathom.
