Chapter 223: Ye Yu Hong's Choice

Several months later.

"Ye family's Ye Yu Hong, requests an audience with the City Lord."

Hearing Ye Yu Hong's request for an audience.

Ye Qingxuan looked with complex eyes at Ye Yu Hong, who was still white-haired and decrepit, below the Shangxuan Pavilion.

Several months had passed, and although Ye Yu Hong's injuries had recovered.

His appearance had not recovered along with them.

Unable to bear it in his heart, Ye Qingxuan ultimately did not refuse Ye Yu Hong's request.

With a movement of his mind, the two puppets stationed below moved aside.

"Please!"

Seeing the puppets guarding the teleportation formation leading to the Shangxuan Pavilion move aside, Ye Yu Hong felt relieved and thanked them:

"I wonder why the Ye family head wishes to see me?"

Inside the Shangxuan Pavilion.

Seeing the City Lord of the Mysterious Mall stop him from bowing, Ye Yu Hong could only nod in thanks:

"Many thanks, City Lord."

Later, Ye Yu Hong had also requested an audience with Ye Qingxuan, but was refused by Ye Qingxuan.

For such a long time, the cultivators in the Mysterious Mall only knew that many places in the city were guarded by first or second-order puppets.

And this person was the City Lord of the Mysterious Mall himself.

So for these puppets, the cultivators in the Mysterious Mall treated them as special cultivators, and Ye Yu Hong was the same.

But this time.

After thanking them, Ye Yu Hong stepped into the teleportation formation.

Ye Qingxuan reached out and directly used his spiritual power to stop Ye Yu Hong:

"Family Head Ye, no need for formalities, please sit down."

Looking at the white-haired, decrepit family head, Ye Qingxuan still couldn't bear to refuse his request for an audience.

Even if a Nascent Soul stage cultivator requested an audience, if there was nothing that could move him, he would not receive them.

"Many thanks to the two."

After waiting for Ye Yu Hong to sit down, Ye Qingxuan asked directly.

But they did not know that these puppets were all controlled by the same person.

Looking at Ye Yu Hong, who had entered the hall and was preparing to bow.

Ye Qingxuan's avatar, the Mysterious Merchant, kept the silver mask he had never taken off, his voice flat and slightly mixed.

Before the Ye family settled in the Mysterious Mall, it was Ye Qingxuan who had arranged for the Ye family group according to the normal settlement procedures through the puppets.

For so many years, under his impartial refusal, this was the first time Ye Yu Hong had seen this avatar of his.

In the Mysterious Mall, this avatar of Ye Qingxuan maintained a mysterious style.

After Ye Yu Hong stepped into the Shangxuan Pavilion hall, Ye Qingxuan was already waiting in the hall.

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's inquiry, Ye Yu Hong said bitterly:

"After this disaster, the Ye family cultivators who entered the Xuanmu Realm have almost all fallen."

"I have decided to withdraw from the Xuanmu Realm; I came here specifically to thank the City Lord for his secret care for my Ye family over these years."

Saying this, Ye Yu Hong took out a storage ring and handed it to Ye Qingxuan.

Inside were the corpses of the Green Demon race at the Foundation Establishment stage and some at the Purple Mansion stage that the Ye family had hunted over these years.

Originally, Ye Yu Hong had prepared to bring them back to the Ye family to improve the cultivation of the younger generation of the Ye family.

But after this battle, Ye Yu Hong also saw through things.

The risks the Ye family took in their rise through recklessness were simply too great.

Instead of bringing these Green Demon corpses back to the clan to improve the cultivation of the younger generation and stimulate their desire to enter the Xuanmu Realm,

It would be better to give them to the City Lord of the Mysterious Mall, who had always been purchasing Green Demon corpses, to repay his secret care for the Ye family over these years.

Although the City Lord of the Mysterious Mall had never received him.

However, Ye Yu Hong understood in his heart.

The reason why the Ye family was able to successfully occupy an excellent station in the Mysterious Mall and a batch of cave dwellings that were in short supply for other cultivators,

Was inseparable from the secret support of the City Lord of the Mysterious Mall for the Ye family.

Ye Yu Hong did not know the relationship between Ye Qingxuan and the City Lord of the Mysterious Mall.

But this did not affect him sending out the Green Demon corpses accumulated by the Ye family over many years as a repayment to the City Lord of the Mysterious Mall for these years.

He did not have much life left now, and only wanted to return to the Ye family and watch the Ye family continue to be passed down.

The Ye family still had ancestors Ye Zhaoyang, Ye Qingxuan, and Ye Qingxiao in the Profound Yi Tianzong.

As long as the Ye family did not court death, they could be passed down forever in the territory of the Profound Yi Tianzong.

Supported by Ye Qingxuan's resources.

Sooner or later, the Ye family would find another opportunity to take off.

After witnessing the cruelty of the Xuanmu Realm, Ye Yu Hong was unwilling for the Ye family disciples to continue to enter the Xuanmu Realm to take risks.

Clearly, the battle several months ago had completely shattered Ye Yu Hong's spirit.

Looking at the storage ring floating before his eyes, Ye Qingxuan shook his head slowly and pushed the storage ring back:

"Family Head Ye has misunderstood; I have not given the Ye family any extra care."

"The Ye family's treatment in the Mysterious Mall is just the normal arrangement and planning of those below, so you don't need to thank me."

Hearing this, Ye Yu Hong did not intend to argue.

He still firmly pushed the storage ring back and said with a firm tone:

"City Lord, please just accept it!"

"Now, these things no longer have much meaning for my Ye family."

Compared to the rapid growth of the younger generation of the Ye family, Ye Yu Hong cared more about their temperament.

The Ye family of the future probably wouldn't be able to support the impetuous and arrogant temperament brought about by the rapid growth of their cultivation base.

After experiencing the rapid growth of cultivation brought about by sacrificing Green Demon corpses.

The younger generation of the Ye family who had not experienced the tempering of wind and waves would find it difficult to settle down and cultivate day after day.

Therefore, in Ye Yu Hong's view.

Bringing these Green Demon corpses back to the Ye family would do more harm than good to the future of the Ye family.

Seeing Ye Yu Hong's persistence, Ye Qingxuan hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the storage ring.

"In that case, then many thanks for Family Head Ye's gift."

Watching the City Lord of the Mysterious Mall accept his storage ring, a smile finally appeared on Ye Yu Hong's face.

Hesitating for a moment, Ye Yu Hong pleaded again:

"After I leave, my Ye family still has a surviving cultivator named Ye Qingshuang."

"She is unwilling to leave the Xuanmu Realm with me, so I ask the City Lord to help look after her."

Ye Yu Hong sending those Green Demon corpses to the mysterious City Lord in front of him also included this reason.

After he left, it was difficult for him to feel at ease with Ye Qingshuang, a cultivator who had just promoted to the Golden Core stage, wandering alone in the Xuanmu Realm.

It's just that Ye Qingshuang's temperament was very stubborn now.

Facing his words, although Ye Qingshuang's tone had always been flat, the meaning in her words had no compromise at all.

Helpless, Ye Yu Hong no longer forced her and could only let Ye Qingshuang continue to wander in the Xuanmu Realm.

But before leaving, Ye Yu Hong wanted to find a support for Ye Qingshuang, which was why he brought the Green Demon corpses to request an audience with the City Lord of the Mysterious Mall again.

Fortunately, this time he successfully met the City Lord of this Mysterious Mall.

Hearing Ye Yu Hong's plea, Ye Qingxuan understood.

Taking out a stack of sixth-order talismans, Ye Qingxuan said indifferently:

"Since I have accepted the Ye family's gift, I will naturally protect the people of the Ye family."

"These talismans are my return gift, please accept them."

Those talismans were prepared by Ye Qingxuan on a whim for Ye Qingshuang.

He found it inconvenient to go see Ye Qingshuang directly, so he planned to pass them to Ye Qingshuang through Ye Yu Hong.

Seeing Ye Yu Hong still hesitating, Ye Qingxuan continued:

"Take them! I am a dignified City Lord, how could my return gift be too bad?"

Hearing this, Ye Yu Hong took the stack of sixth-order talismans.

Ye Qingshuang, an early Golden Core stage cultivator, wandering alone in the Xuanmu Realm, indeed needed some trump cards for self-protection.

Now that the Ye family's talismans had been exhausted, for Ye Qingshuang's sake, Ye Yu Hong could only thick-skinned accept these talismans.
