As night fell, Zhao Jia took out the communication stone to report the day’s situation.
Far away in Jiulian City, Ye Chenyin and Yue Xing’er were both baffled when they heard that Ye Yu planned to cultivate at Zhutiangfang and did not intend to return soon.
“Are you sure it’s really cultivation?”
“Are they joking?”
Ye Yu was born in Jiulian City and had never shown any interest in cultivation.
He never even glanced at the demon cultivation techniques Ye Chenyin searched for in the demon realm.
His Foundation Establishment level was purely built from piling up rare treasures.
Ye Chenyin guessed perhaps Ye Yu knew his talent was very poor, so he never practiced cultivation.
After Ye Yu turned twelve, he gave up forcing him.
But now he suddenly changed—what on earth had happened?
Zhao Jia told everything that had happened in these days without hiding anything.
When he heard about “making friends brings bloody disasters,”
Ye Chenyin and Yue Xing’er even thought Zhao Jia was joking at first.
But then they remembered that this chubby man was a killer who never joked.
They could no longer laugh.
“Could it be that our son is the legendary friend nemesis?”
“Whoever touches him has bad luck.”
“Even someone as strong as Huangfu Jin can’t handle it?”
“That power is too strong!”
Still, no matter what, Ye Chenyin was a Demon Lord level demon, [N O V E L I G H T] used to many strange and unbelievable things.
Usually, the more irrational the existence, the more likely it was real.
After some thought, Ye Chenyin finally agreed to let Ye Yu stay in Zhutiangfang.
There were two reasons: first, Zhutiangfang was a sect with solid foundations and decent strength, and outsiders didn’t even know Ye Yu was there, making it safer.
Second, Ye Yu’s stubborn nature was impossible to persuade; better to let him be than waste words and cause resentment.
Ye Chenyin instructed Zhao Jia to stay close to Ye Yu patiently and observe if there were any other changes.
Most importantly, keep the secret of Ye Yu being a “friend nemesis” tightly locked away—under no circumstances leak it!
He did not want his son to be treated as a lab rat.
Zhao Jia’s voice trembled as he said, “Demon Lord, I might not be able to stay by the Young Master’s side twenty-four hours a day. He and that female elder went into the tower.”
Ye Chenyin’s expression grew even stranger.
“A tower? What tower? Are you out of your mind? If he goes into a tower, just knock it down! If he goes into a room, knock down the room! His safety is the most important. If you even—”
Before Ye Chenyin finished shouting, a muffled thud echoed—a punch landing solidly.
Soon after, the sound of something heavy falling came from afar.
The voice inside the shadow recording stone changed to Yue Xing’er’s again.
“Xiao Jia, explain clearly—what do you mean by ‘going into the tower’?”
After silently mourning for the Demon Lord for half a second, Zhao Jia began recounting the day’s events.
Half an hour after Young Master Ye Yu entered the tower with Elder Pei Chuxia,
He came out smiling and told Zhao Jia he could return to Jiulian City.
He claimed he wanted to properly begin cultivation here and no longer needed anyone’s protection.
At first, Zhao Jia even thought Ye Yu might have been coerced by Pei Chuxia.
But after being thoroughly beaten up by Ye Yu, Zhao Jia understood that Ye Yu seemed to have no coercion and was willing.
Still,
Zhao Jia was uneasy and refused to leave outside the tower.
He wanted to wait for Ye Yu to come out and persuade him again.
But unexpectedly, Ye Yu had not yet come out with Elder Pei.
Zhao Jia was so hungry from waiting.
Only then did he report to the Demon Lord.
Hearing this, Demon Lord Ye Chenyin weakly said, “I suspect something is wrong.”
“Slap!”
The familiar and loud slap sounded again through the communication stone.
Zhao Jia couldn’t help but cover his face.
Yue Xing’er started yelling, “Wrong? What wrong! A man and woman together in a room... tower, what else could happen?”
“In my opinion, Yu’er has really grown up and become a true male demon!”
“Maybe in two years he’ll bring you grandchildren!”
After scolding Ye Chenyin, Yue Xing’er softly ordered Zhao Jia, “You don’t have to come back. Just stay at Zhutiangfang guarding Yu’er, but quickly gather all information on that female elder and arrange to send it to Jiulian City.”
“I can’t wait to see how beautiful my future daughter-in-law is to have enchanted Yu’er like this.”
Zhao Jia repeatedly agreed, then put away the communication stone, glancing at the tower with a slight frown.
It was already night, so Young Master and Elder Pei probably wouldn’t come out again.
Better take this opportunity to quickly complete the tasks Madam Demon Lord assigned.
Otherwise, if delayed, there would be serious trouble.
After all, that was someone even the Demon Lord dared not offend!
Recalling the loud slap in the communication stone, Zhao Jia shivered involuntarily.
He sped toward the main hall of Zhutiangfang.
He was going to ask Huangfu Jin about this Elder Pei’s background.
Unknown to Zhao Jia, moments later,
The tall tower’s doors slowly opened.
Ye Yu and Pei Chuxia walked out directly.
They held a list recording information and locations of talented youths from various sects.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night!
As Ye Yu and Pei Chuxia prepared to leave,
Jin Tongchi, the Golden Core sword cultivator who had been imprisoned outside the tower, slowly regained consciousness after a day’s stupor and shouted loudly, “Hey, hey, hey, it was him! He framed me! He’s the real culprit!”
“Elder, please capture him quickly!”
Hearing this, Ye Yu said nothing but showed a very mocking expression.
Pei Chuxia’s eyes turned icy as she stepped down the stairs.
Softly she said, “What did you just call my disciple?”
“Your disciple?”
Jin Tongchi was dumbfounded, then struggled to hold back tears, forcing a weak smile as he stammered, “Brother, if I admit my mistake now, is it still in time?”
Ye Yu replied calmly, “What do you think?”
Jin Tongchi immediately broke down and cried loudly.
