"The Yue, Xing, and Ye families are actually the three great families from another continent." "I knew the Yue family came from the Yuhun Continent, but I didn't expect the other two to be from there as well. But if that's the case, why was the Yue Kingdom previously ruled by the Li family?" Ye Lanshan wasn't particularly surprised to hear this, but she found the Yue family increasingly peculiar. "That goes back to a war a thousand years ago. Someone from the Li family married into the Yue family, seized power from them, and handed it over to the Li family, allowing them to temporarily control the Yue Kingdom." Ye Yutian's voice was clear and magnetic, captivating Ye Lanshan as she listened. "So that's how it is. But so what? Even if I want to destroy the Yue family, can the Yuhun Continent send people over? I recall that anyone coming from there would be suppressed." Ye Lanshan sneered, her resolve unchanged. "Since you've already decided, I'll naturally help you." Ye Yutian still remembered Ye Lanshan's earlier words about being completely obedient. "Grandfather, where are you? I miss you so much." Fu Feng sat by the window, gazing at the moon, waves of longing flooding his heart. Can Sister Ye really rescue you from the Holy Land's hands? When will I see you again? Finally, weighed down by confusion and melancholy, he fell asleep leaning against the window. "Ah!" An elderly sigh echoed softly in the room. Someone carried Fu Feng to the bed and covered him with a thin blanket. "Grandfather." Even in his dreams, he murmured the name of his dearest one. "Have you truly decided? Are you really going to help Ye Lanshan? This won't be good for the Xuanling Academy." Elder Xue tried once more to persuade Su Muyang, as everyone knew the origins of the Holy Land. "How many years has it been? Our clan was once hunted by the Holy Valley, and we paid a heavy price to escape here. Yet even here, must we continue to endure the Holy Land's oppression?" Su Muyang's tone revealed a deep-seated hatred for the Holy Land. "How many years have we swallowed our pride just to guard that secret? Are we going to let it all fall apart in our generation? You must know that confronting the Holy Land now will inevitably draw the Holy Valley's attention." Xue Yonghui hadn't lost his senses; he remembered the past humiliations, but the family's secret couldn't be lost on their watch. "Secret? I'm not sure. Do you remember the disguise technique Ye Lanshan showed earlier? It's very similar to a skill passed down in our clan from the Spirit Clan. And I did sense fluctuating spiritual energy from her. Perhaps she might be a member of the Spirit Clan." After Ye Lanshan left, Su Muyang had been poring over ancient texts passed down through the family and indeed found some similarities to the Spirit Clan. "You mean Ye Lanshan could be the reincarnation of the Spirit Clan's master as recorded in the ancient texts?" Xue Yonghui found it hard to believe. How could it be that after generations of waiting for so many years, they would be the ones to find this person? "Do you remember what the ancient texts said about the Spirit Clan's master? A prodigy of unparalleled talent, a genius through the ages, with a seven-petal lotus mark on their arm. Though I haven't seen her arm, isn't her talent exactly the kind of extraordinary genius that appears once in a millennium?" Su Muyang knew that speculation alone wouldn't work. It seemed they would have to bring Ye Lanshan back to confirm it first before making any plans. Meanwhile, Ye Lanshan was plotting how to overthrow the Yue family's rule. Everyone was gearing up, ready to stir up chaos in the capital until it was in turmoil. I won't offend unless offended. If someone wants me dead, I'll drive them to the brink first. The strong rule, the victor reigns. Since you want my Red Lotus Fire, I'll make you taste its burning flames. Everything was proceeding methodically. Even Zhou Haiming had been captured by Ye Yutian. After Ye Lanshan used advanced psychological interrogation techniques from China, Zhou Haiming finally broke down and helped Ye Luotian undo the puppet spell. "Grandfather, Grandfather." Soft calls echoed in Ye Luotian's ears, making him open his eyes in slight confusion. But no matter how he struggled, his body wouldn't obey him. After great effort, he managed to crack his eyes open. Where is this? What came into view was an unfamiliar room with no extra decorations, so empty it seemed only the bed he lay on existed. "Grandfather, you're finally awake." Ye Lanshan's face lit up with joy, warmth rising in her eyes. "Lanshan?" Ye Luotian was momentarily dazed, as if not yet fully conscious, his voice hoarse from days without water. "It's me, Grandfather." Ye Lanshan brought a cup of water but didn't give it to him immediately. Instead, she moistened his lips first, then slowly fed him a little at a time. "No, Ye Lanshan, leave quickly. This is a trap. No matter what, get out of here, as far away as possible." After a while, Ye Luotian's sluggish mind suddenly snapped to attention, and he struggled violently, urging her to flee. "Grandfather, I've already seen through the Yue family's scheme. Look, I've even captured Zhou Haiming. Don't worry. The Yue family is already on the decline. I'll be fine." Ye Lanshan gently calmed Ye Luotian until his emotions settled. "This is the real trap. Do you know why the Yue family dares to openly oppose the Holy Land? Because their ancestors aren't from this continent." Ye Luotian, already pale from lying in bed, grew even paler. "I know. They're from the Yuhun Continent. But so what? Can someone from over there suddenly come and take me away?" Ye Lanshan knew that every few hundred years, people from there would visit this continent for a time. The Li family's disappearance back then was their doing. "So you already know." Ye Luotian sighed deeply. "Since that's the case, I won't hide anything from you. Do you know why your mother disappeared?" "My mother?" Ye Lanshan searched her memory but found no trace of any mention of her mother. "Your mother isn't from this continent either. She's from Thunderheart Island on the Yuhun Continent." "You mean my mother is also from the Yuhun Continent?" Ye Lanshan was somewhat surprised. "Yes. Your father once went to the Yuhun Continent via Cloud Island and met your mother there. Later, for some reason, he fled back with her, collapsing at the Ye family's gate, covered in wounds. Your mother held you tightly in her arms, keeping you completely unharmed." "You probably know the rest. Your father was captured by the Holy Land, and your mother vanished." Ye Lanshan nodded, realizing her origins were indeed quite mysterious. "Knock, knock, knock." A rhythmic knock interrupted their conversation. Ye Lanshan got up and opened the door to find Ye Yutian delivering lunch.
