Although Ye Xunhuan and Longshou took the high-speed train, the journey from the capital to Sheep City is about two thousand kilometers. Even with the high-speed train, it takes eight or nine hours. If driving, it might take more than ten hours, especially if there’s traffic. So taking the train is the wisest choice.

On the train, Ye Xunhuan and Longshou didn’t communicate much. Deep down, Longshou didn’t want to take Ye Xunhuan to the Ye family, but he had no choice.

Ye Xunhuan knew that Longshou still had feelings for the Ye family. Even if the Ye family wasn’t righteous to him, he still felt connected, having grown up there. So Ye Xunhuan didn’t say much, understanding that speaking too much would only depress Longshou more.

Thus, the two hardly exchanged words on the journey.

Since they took the high-speed train from the capital at noon, they naturally had a meal on the train.

By the time Ye Xunhuan and Longshou arrived in Sheep City, it was already past five in the afternoon, closing in on six.

Because it was already late, Longshou didn’t take Ye Xunhuan directly to the Ye family. Instead, they checked into a hotel to stay overnight, planning to visit the Ye family the next day.

It’s said that returning to one’s hometown brings a greater sense of fear, but Longshou didn’t feel this way—he only felt helpless and heavy-hearted.

After all, Ye Xunhuan wasn’t visiting the Ye family to reconnect, but to settle accounts, and Longshou was the one bringing Ye Xunhuan over!

Once in the hotel, Longshou stayed inside, but Ye Xunhuan did not. He couldn’t simply stay in the hotel and rest upon arriving in Sheep City—he needed to explore!

Longshou didn’t mind Ye Xunhuan wandering around, leaving him to his own devices.

Meanwhile, as soon as Ye Xunhuan set foot in Sheep City, the Monarch already received the news.

Upon learning that Longshou brought Ye Xunhuan to Sheep City, a deep smile emerged on the Monarch’s lips.

"Ah, Ye Huang, Ye Huang, you didn’t admit Ye Xunhuan was your son back then; now you can’t hide it anymore!" the Monarch murmured to himself, "Now that you’ve gone to Sheep City, it’s probably more than just reconnecting with your roots, isn’t it?"

Beside him, Xiao Jiangnan couldn’t help but ask after hearing the Monarch’s mumbling, "Monarch, what are you talking about?"

The Monarch slowly turned his gaze to Xiao Jiangnan and gently asked, "Anything to do?"

Xiao Jiangnan immediately shook his head, "There’s nothing particular to do."

"If there’s nothing, come with me to Sheep City!"

A look of confusion immediately crossed Xiao Jiangnan’s face as he asked the Monarch, "Why go to Sheep City now? Are we going to the Ye family?"

"Ye Huang took Ye Xunhuan to Sheep City; what do you think will happen?" the Monarch asked lightly.

After hearing the Monarch’s words, a spark of brilliance appeared in Xiao Jiangnan’s eyes, "Is Ye Xunhuan really the son of Qin Fenghuang and the Evil Monarch?"

"You’ll know once we get there," the Monarch said indifferently, "And maybe we’ll see a good show!"

"Monarch, don’t be too optimistic. What if Ye Huang took Ye Xunhuan there to reconnect with his roots?"

"What day is today?"

"The third day of the New Year!"

"Yes, the third day of the New Year," the Monarch said softly. "Across Huaxia, on this day, people usually burn paper and visit graves. Logically, Ye Xunhuan should be going to pay respects to Qin Fenghuang’s grave, but he didn’t!"

"If he’s going to Sheep City for reconnection, would he choose the third day of the New Year?"

As he spoke, the Monarch’s tone changed, continuing, "And it’s Ye Huang bringing him along. Ye Xunhuan may not know, but wouldn’t Ye Huang know better?"

One has to say, the Monarch is very clever, able to deduce clues from the day. Moreover, the clues he deduced were infinitely close to the truth!

After hearing the Monarch’s words, a look of realization slowly appeared on Xiao Jiangnan’s face, "So, the reason Ye Xunhuan is going to the Ye family at this time might be..."

"To settle accounts!" the Monarch said with a smile, "Think about what the Ye family did back then. Don’t you know? If the Ye family hadn’t ignored it, could we really have gotten rid of the Evil Monarch?"

Xiao Jiangnan agreed with the Monarch’s words, as he had experienced everything and was very familiar with the ins and outs of the matter.

"All along, I haven’t known how to enlist the Ye family’s help against Ye Xunhuan." The Monarch continued, "If Ye Xunhuan comes to the Ye family to settle accounts, that gives me a better reason!"

In the past, they could abandon the Evil Monarch; now, what’s more, an Ye Xunhuan?

It’s worth noting that the Evil Monarch back then was far stronger than Ye Xunhuan.

Therefore, if Ye Xunhuan dares to make a move at the Ye family, the Monarch can almost conclude that the Ye family will certainly turn against Ye Xunhuan.

After all, no one in the Ye family has any emotional ties with Ye Xunhuan, and the Ye family likely also fears backlash.

If news that the Evil Monarch’s son was in town spread, countless people would want to eliminate him. If the Ye family wants to protect him, they would be making enemies left and right. Moreover, the Ye family knows well that the Monarch is currently acting against Ye Xunhuan.

Given the Ye family’s historical tendency to abandon the Evil Monarch, it’s highly likely they won’t care about Ye Xunhuan this time either.

Furthermore, if Ye Xunhuan acts out at the Ye family, they might not only ignore him but even kill him.

This made the Monarch eager to join the spectacle, to see what happens, regardless of what Ye Xunhuan intends to do at the Ye family.

Xiao Jiangnan’s eyes lit up immediately, "Then let’s hope Ye Xunhuan does make a move at the Ye family!"

"Let’s hope so!"

Then, both the Monarch and Xiao Jiangnan got up and left there, preparing to head to Sheep City. However, this time, neither had any intention to act, just wanted to watch the drama unfold!

And Longshou, who was far away in Sheep City, knew nothing about all this. If Longshou found out, one can only guess what he’d make of it.

Longshou was oblivious, and naturally, Ye Xunhuan didn’t know either. But even if Ye Xunhuan knew, he wouldn’t care. After all, Longshou finding out was just a matter of time, and the intelligence network within the Protectors is incredibly strong!

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan was wandering around Sheep City, completely leisurely, like he was out to relax, strolling and observing his surroundings feeling quite leisurely, not at all like someone coming to Sheep City to settle accounts with the Ye family.

After circling around for a while, Ye Xunhuan hailed a cab, asking the driver to take him to some fun places in Sheep City.

The driver, seeing Ye Xunhuan was alone, didn’t ask much further, and directly took him to the most famous place in Sheep City—Lianxiang Ju!
