Chapter 1460: Chapter 1460: Stop Right There! (5 Updates)
It’s also that Ye Haochuan wasn’t aware of Ye Xian sensing him last time, otherwise he’d rather die than use his eyes at the Ye Family’s doorstep.
At least until he decides he wants to engage with the Ye Family, he wouldn’t dare.
He’s now increasingly curious about who his father really is. Why did he bring him into the world, only to abandon him and his mother outside without any responsibility?
He once asked his mother about this, but she spoke very vaguely. It seems to completely uncover his background, thorough investigation is necessary.
"Ke Yan, what’s with the injuries on your body?"
Ye Haochuan, ignorant of the situation, is currently looking at the scars on Ke Yan’s neck with a furious expression; those scars are clearly from a whipping.
"I... I... sigh, Alliance Hierarch, let’s talk inside."
Ke Yan’s heart is still trapped by the guards kneeling at the door. Upon hearing Ye Haochuan’s words, she stutters a bit, and when mentioning Langfan, her eyes reveal a hint of melancholy.
Hmm?
Ye Haochuan sensitively perceives all of this, and looks deeply at Ke Yan, knowing that Ke Yan and Langfan have some matters they haven’t revealed to him.
"This way, Alliance Hierarch."
After Ke Yan finishes speaking, her face shows abnormalities as she quickens her pace, leading Ye Haochuan into the small mansion. After turning east and west for quite a while, they arrive at the area for servants, and stop in front of a small room.
"Alliance Hierarch, Brother Langfan is inside."
Ke Yan’s head is bowed very low, resembling a child who has made a mistake.
Squeak~
Ye Haochuan does not speak, his face dark, as he pushes open the rickety door of the room, and a stench instantly hits his nose.
"Alli... Alliance Hierarch..."
As the door opens, Langfan’s voice emerges, sounding like a buzzing fly. If it weren’t for Ye Haochuan’s sharp ears, he almost wouldn’t have heard it.
"Hmm? What is Langfan doing?" Upon seeing Langfan’s state, Ye Haochuan gasps in disbelief and angrily asks.
He couldn’t help but be angry, because Langfan is cleaning a toilet.
This kind of dirty and smelly chore, even an ordinary person wouldn’t be willing to do it. Langfan is a Core Formation Stage expert, yet Ye Haochuan couldn’t fathom why Langfan would be doing such a task.
"Alliance Hierarch, I..." Langfan hangs his head low, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.
Just then, a shout suddenly rings out from the door: "What are you doing? Slacking off again, aren’t you? Do you want a beatdown?"
Together with the shouted words, comes the sharp crack of a whip.
Ye Haochuan turns his head to look, finding an extremely sleazy-looking man with a low cultivation, at Core Formation Early Stage. But the whip he holds, however, is evidently not a common item, being at least Treasure-Level Early Stage Magical Treasure.
Though his cultivation is similar to Langfan and Ke Yan, Ye Haochuan clearly feels their bodies slightly tremble when the man appears.
"Not slacking, I’ll work on it immediately!" Langfan cowardly complies, shoots Ke Yan a glance, as if asking her to help explain, then turns back to focus on cleaning.
"Stop this at once!" Ye Haochuan suddenly shouts fiercely!
He doesn’t know what Langfan experienced that changed his fearless personality to one of subservience. But he can imagine this experience was far from easy.
"Where’s this little brat from, daring to act wildly at the Ye Family? Scram now, or I’ll beat you along with him!"
The man scoffs coldly, then turns to Ke Yan: "And you, have you emptied the kitchen swill yet? Running around, looking for trouble again, huh?"
"Get lost!" Before Ke Yan can respond, Ye Haochuan already shouts angrily.
His aura rapidly envelops the sleazy man. The man immediately feels a chill as if he suddenly fell into an ice cellar.
"You... Are you insane? This is the Ye Family, you dare act recklessly here, aren’t you afraid..."
The sleazy man wants to speak further, but suddenly notices the killing intent in Ye Haochuan’s eyes. His heart trembles, swallowing the rest of his words. His legs carry him away, fleeing hastily.
Ye Haochuan couldn’t be bothered with him, turning coldly to Langfan, asking: "What’s going on here?"
Langfan’s expression dims as he roughly recounts past events.
Originally, Langfan and Ke Yan both eagerly decided to explore the Sub-Shaking Dimension Realm, filled with anticipation. But as soon as they entered, they were dumbfounded.
There were indeed many good things here, but they were too expensive. The spirit crystals they brought weren’t even enough to buy a good Peak Spirit Instrument, let alone the exorbitantly priced flying vessel tickets.
In their near despair, they saw the Ye Family recruiting house servants, allowing successful applicants free flying vessel tickets, covered by the Ye Family.
Coming from the Secular World, neither realized the weight of the term ’house servant,’ thinking it was merely contractual employment. Little did they know, the Sub-Shaking Dimension Realm’s system closely resembled Huaxia’s ancient era. The house servant contracts were in fact indenture contracts.
When they understood, it was too late. They were brought to the Ye Family, becoming the lowest guards.
Langfan and others were indignant, tried to resist and escape. But soon, they were captured back. The Ye Family didn’t kill them, rather demoted them totally to the lowliest servants, doing degrading tasks like cleaning toilets daily.
"These bastards! You’re a Core Formation Stage expert, how could they treat you like this?" Ye Haochuan listens in growing anger, gritting his teeth.
Ke Yan hears this and offers a bitter smile: "Core Formation Stage expert? We also thought Core Formation Stage was formidable, but upon entering this Sub-Shaking Dimension Realm, we realized Core Formation Stage is nothing noteworthy!"
His words are actually wrong; if it were powerful families, Core Formation Stage would be considered decent. But for ordinary people, especially from outside, Core Formation Stage isn’t much.
"Alliance Hierarch, you should leave! That guy is indeed vile, but hitting him would definitely provoke the Ye Family’s retaliation." Langfan suddenly speaks up.
"Leave? I’ve already come, naturally I won’t leave alone! If I’m leaving, I’m taking you with me!" Ye Haochuan snorts coldly.
Langfan shakes his head upon hearing this, saying: "It’s no use, the Ye Family’s power isn’t something ordinary people from the Secular World can resist."
Right after Langfan finishes, a cold voice suddenly calls out from afar.
"Knowing the Ye Family’s power is overwhelming, yet daring to act wildly here, aren’t you foolish beyond measure!"
