Chapter 1339: Chapter 1324: Joyful Reunion
Caiyun held Yang Xiao, and the longing in her heart poured out with her tears.
The guards and maids at the door looked on in astonishment.
In their eyes, the young lady was akin to a goddess, always a lady of a prominent family, composed and reserved.
Why did the young lady completely lose her image and seem to break down after seeing this young man?
At this moment, Qing’er had already stood up from the ground, and upon seeing the young lady embracing Yang Xiao, she giggled with happiness, her eyes full of tears.
She was happy for the young lady.
The guard named Man Er cautiously asked:
"Sister Qing’er, what’s going on? Who is this guy?"
Qing’er gave Man Er a sideways glance and scolded,
"Pig brain, huh? Who else would make the young lady throw herself into his arms and cry like a tearful mess? Haven’t you guys been boasting about the young master all day long? Now that you’ve seen the real deal, you don’t recognize him?"
"Ah!"
Man Er opened his mouth wide, staring blankly at Qing’er.
Recalling that he almost made Yang Xiao slap his own face twenty times earlier, he was suddenly terrified and instinctively gave himself a slap, muttering to himself,
"Damn, I almost offended the young master!"
Qing’er paused, glaring at Man Er,
"What, did you pigs make it difficult for the young master?"
"Don’t dare, don’t dare, we didn’t know he was the young lady’s husband!"
"Hmph, if you really troubled the young master, let’s see how the master deals with you later!"
"Sister Qing’er, really didn’t! We wouldn’t dare!"
Qing’er couldn’t be bothered with Man Er and just watched Yang Xiao and the young lady.
Yang Xiao embraced Caiyun’s gentle body, feeling her passionate emotions, and tenderly said:
"Caiyun, I’ve made you suffer."
Hearing Yang Xiao’s words, Caiyun stopped crying, looked up, wrapped her arms around Yang Xiao’s neck, and gazed at him with tear-filled eyes, softly saying:
"This time, I won’t let you leave again!"
Yang Xiao chuckled and wiped the tears from Caiyun’s face,
"Alright, I won’t leave. I’ll stay with you!"
"Really? You have to keep your word, or whoever breaks it is a puppy!"
Caiyun beamed, extending her pinky to hook Yang Xiao’s hand.
Then entwining their fingers, she led Yang Xiao by the hand,
"Come, I’ll take you inside to rest!"
Qing’er also walked over at this moment, slightly bowing to Yang Xiao, and said:
"Greetings, young master!"
Man Er and the other guards, along with some maids, finally woke up from their daze, realizing the handsome young man before them was the legendary figure they talked about every day — their young master.
Everyone knelt on the ground, shouting:
"Greetings, young master!"
Yang Xiao smiled at Qing’er and said:
"Qing’er has grown up, becoming more and more beautiful!"
"The young master always teases Qing’er. In front of the young lady, I’m just a little grass. Our young lady is the goddess here."
Feeling guilty for not praising Caiyun enough in the past, Yang Xiao said:
"Your young lady is naturally the queen of flowers, the goddess among women!"
Caiyun was inherently beautiful and didn’t value others’ praise, but hearing Yang Xiao compliment her for the first time, she felt a sweetness in her heart and a shyness in her expression.
Qing’er, seeing the young lady and Yang Xiao hand in hand, felt a surge of happiness in her heart,
"Young lady, quickly take the young master inside to rest. Haven’t you been missing the young master all these days?"
"Qing’er, you,"
"Young lady, don’t be shy, hehe!"
"You’re such a chatterbox!"
Caiyun, leading Yang Xiao, walked towards the mansion.
Man Er and the other guards, along with the maids, all admired Yang Xiao in their hearts and unconsciously followed.
Qing’er turned and glared at Man Er,
"What are you doing? Hurry up and stand guard, send someone to notify the master that the young master has returned, and besides the master, no other guests are allowed in today."
Man Er asked in confusion:
"Why?"
"Pig brain, didn’t you understand? The young master is here. Don’t let those ordinary people disturb him. Don’t you get it?"
"Yes, yes, we’ll follow sister Qing’er’s orders."
Qing’er had an exceptionally high status in the Yelu Mansion, capable of issuing orders on behalf of the young lady, and the maids and guards listened to her commands.
Qing’er then instructed the maids:
"You guys, quickly notify the kitchen to arrange a banquet, and also, have someone clean the young lady’s room and decorate it a bit."
"Sister Qing’er, how should we decorate it?"
"Fool, just like a wedding, romantic and festive, with lots of fresh flowers, and replace all the bed sheets and quilts with new ones, hurry up!"
"Yes, sister Qing’er."
Everyone left, and only then did Qing’er hurriedly chase after Yang Xiao and the young lady, keeping a respectful distance, fearing to interrupt them.
...
Ever since Yang Xiao killed Ximen Chuixue and his son and married Caiyun Yelu, the Yelu Family has become the top family in Fei’e City.
Caiyun’s father, Yelu Yan, became the City Lord, while the second family, the Gao Family, assisted the Yelu Family. Together, the two families controlled the vast majority of resources, industries, and commerce in Fei’e City.
There were three newly emergent families that initially saw the decline of the Yelu Family and planned to annex it, divide its mines and industries. They never imagined Yang Xiao would appear and disrupt everything, forcing everyone to resign themselves to the circumstances.
Yelu Yan was in the hall of the City Lord Mansion, chatting with Gao Lou’s father. Gao Lou’s father is the Deputy City Lord, and the two families have had a good relationship for generations.
As they were talking, guard Man’er ran in hurriedly, shouting from afar upon seeing the master,
"Master, something terrible has happened!"
"Man’er, what’s bothering you? Remember, your words and actions outside represent our Yelu Family, conduct yourself with decorum and grace,"
Man’er was reprimanded by the family head and stood quietly aside, listening.
After a brief admonishment, Yelu Yan was satisfied and looked at Man’er,
"Now, tell me, what brings you to me?"
Man’er looked up at the family head only now,
"Master, the young master has returned!"
Yelu Yan was taken aback, blurting out,
"Young master? Which young master?"
Yang Xiao and Yelu Caiyun have been married for three to four years but have never returned to Fei’e City. So when Man’er suddenly mentioned the young master, Yelu Yan could not immediately connect it to Yang Xiao.
Opposite him, Gao Lou’s father chuckled and teased,
"Brother Yan, how many daughters do you have?"
"Brother Gao, aren’t you asking knowingly? I have only one daughter, Caiyun."
A sudden realization flashed across Yelu Yan’s mind, his eyes fixated on Man’er, who trembled under his gaze.
"You just said young master, is it the miss’s,"
"Yes, it’s the miss’s husband, Yang Xiao, Young Master Yang has returned. The miss was outside the main gate hugging Young Master Yang, laughing and crying with joy, and she instructed me to inform you, master."
Yelu Yan was still in a daze when Gao Lou’s father jovially slapped the table and exclaimed:
"Oh, it’s Young Master Yang who has come back, Brother Yan, congratulations!"
Yelu Yan paid close attention to Yang Xiao’s developments, frequently sending people to Wentian City to gather information on him, which they reported back to him.
He naturally knew that Yang Xiao is now an Emperor Level Transcendent Expert, having once killed the War God of the Great Dragon Empire, the dean of Heavenly Dragon Academy, Long Kui, and recently, Emperor of Great Dragon and Prince Long Aotian, his reputation on Witch Star Continent soared to unparalleled heights.
As for such a powerful son-in-law, he was both thrilled and worried.
Yang Xiao’s strength is undoubtedly beneficial for the Yelu Family.
From nearby city lords to higher-level city lords, even the Cangshan City Lord proactively visited him. This demonstrated Yang Xiao’s immense influence.
However, Yang Xiao’s rise was rapid, with a trail of killings, creating many enemies along the way. He feared that Yang Xiao’s adversaries might retaliate against the Yelu Family to settle scores.
Fortunately, over the years, nothing like that has happened.
Additionally, he had some insight into his daughter and Yang Xiao’s true relationship, which was evident from the fact that Yang Xiao never returned to Fei’e City.
But this secret relationship could not be publicly disclosed, for the Yelu Family’s sake, sacrificing his daughter’s happiness was inevitable.
For this reason, Yelu Yan felt guilty toward his daughter.
He never expected Yang Xiao to suddenly return to Fei’e City, leaving him somewhat dumbfounded and unsure of what to do.
Gao Lou’s father laughed,
"Brother Yan, you must be too thrilled to think straight. Young Master Yang is a significant figure now; let alone his status as an Emperor Level Transcendent Expert, even with just his title as the State Preceptor of the Flying Leopard Empire, few in the empire can compare.
Shouldn’t you hurry back to make arrangements for welcoming him?"
From the limited information they had, Yang Xiao’s identity was indeed quite distinguished, especially due to his unusual relationship with the newly crowned Emperor Wanyan He, serving as the State Preceptor of the empire, making everyone in Fei’e City bow down in respect.
As for the Imperial Gold Medal Guard Team, his Emperor Level Transcendent Expert status, and Purple Origin Star leadership, any single one of these credentials bore nuclear-level influence in Fei’e City.
Yelu Yan, having seen the world, quickly regained his composure,
"Yes, indeed, I need to prepare properly to entertain my son-in-law. Alas, my son-in-law is busy with state affairs, seldom returning. Normally, my daughter actively seeks him out, and now with his sudden return, I’m at a loss,"
Gao Lou’s father smiled gently, saying,
"Brother Yan, hurry back, and I’ll send the steward over. If you need help, just instruct the steward."
"Great, thank you, come over tonight for a drink."
"Will do, happy to join."
Yelu Yan rose and walked outside while reprimanding Man’er,
"How are you doing your job? The young master returning is such an important matter, yet you stand there like a wooden figure without reporting promptly.
You’ve delayed the matter; I’ll break your leg!"
Man’er felt aggrieved inside,
Master, you didn’t let me speak, and now you’re blaming me?
However, he could only swallow these words and respond with a smile:
"Yes, master, this humble one acknowledges the mistake."
An idea struck Yelu Yan’s mind, and he asked,
"You mentioned the young master and miss were outside the gate laughing and crying; what’s the situation?"
Man’er briefly explained and said,
"Master, I saw the miss holding the young master, brimming with happiness. I’ve never seen the miss so joyful."
Yelu Yan felt his heart relax, as if a weight was lifted.
"Go back and inform the other guards and servants to be on high alert these days, serve diligently, and any mistake will result in severe punishment, no leniency.
Additionally, outside the miss’s room and small garden, assign people to keep watch from a distance; no one is allowed to disturb them, understand?"
"Yes, understood."
