677: Chapter 673: Has Yun Xinyan Changed Her Ways?
“Uncle Zhang, I have one last question.
What exactly is the purpose of the Sima Family coming to Jiangcheng to look for the Spirit Vein?
Do they merely want to find strength within the Spirit Vein?”
Ye Tian asked directly, a vague sense of foreboding lingering in his heart.
However, the Uncle Zhang before him was unable to give Ye Tian the answer he sought…
“As for that, I do not know.
Sima Yun and Sima Feng have kept the affairs of the Sima Family incredibly secretive; even we four stewards are unaware of the details.
Regarding the Spirit Vein, I only know bits and pieces.
It’s said that it has something to do with the Sima Family’s grand plan that spans a millennium!
For a thousand years, the Sima Family has been waiting for the opening of the Spirit Vein.
Recently, due to the vein being damaged and its power leaking out, the Sima Family became aware and thus came here in full, precisely to obtain the power from the Spirit Vein and to fulfill their family’s millennium grand plan!”
“A millennium grand plan?”
Ye Tian asked, puzzled.
He had heard of the Sima Family’s millennium grand plan before.
But what exactly the Sima Family’s millennium grand plan was, Ye Tian had no clue…
“How could you, as the most trusted steward of the Sima Family, not know about the Sima Family’s millennium grand plan?”
Ye Tian questioned Uncle Zhang, who could only shake his head.
“Your silver needle pierced my brow.
If I were lying, you’d naturally know.
Unfortunately, I am not lying.
Even as a steward of the Sima Family, I am only privy to superficial knowledge of their affairs!”
“…”
Uncle Zhang’s attitude was sincere, showing not the slightest sign of deceit, leaving Ye Tian somewhat helpless.
His silver needle lie detector was infallible, so it was certainly not possible for Uncle Zhang to be lying.
Thus, if he said he did not know, then he truly did not know!
“The Spirit Vein…”
Ye Tian murmured to himself, the name surfacing repeatedly in his mind!
According to Uncle Zhang, he inadvertently led the people of the Sima Family here!
In the previous major battle with Tian Shisan, he used the life force in his wooden sword, causing damage to the water veins beneath Jiangcheng.
It was precisely because of this that the power of the Spirit Vein was leaked.
Therefore, the individuals from the Sima Family came upon hearing the news, and that’s why they initiated a series of actions in Jiangcheng!
“Thank you, Uncle Zhang, it has been a pleasure talking with you!”
Having learned quite a few clues from Uncle Zhang, although still not many, Ye Tian felt better than being completely clueless.
Thus, he no longer troubled Uncle Zhang and removed the silver needle that was stuck in his brow.
Only then did Uncle Zhang breathe a sigh of relief, looking towards Ye Tian.
“King of the Night, I have told you all I could.
If the people of the Sima Family knew I’d leaked information, I would undoubtedly be dead!”
Uncle Zhang pleaded, and Ye Tian chuckled.
“Don’t worry, Uncle Zhang.
For now, you can stay at the Night King Hall main base.
As long as you stuff cotton in your ears, you need not fear Sima Feng turning you into a puppet!
And I will not use the silver needle to prick your itchy spot again, causing you to be stuck between life and death.
Of course, given your formidable strength, I cannot remove the silver needle sealing your acupoints, just as a precaution.
Please forgive me!
Beyond that, Night King Hall will provide you with good food and wine until the day we drive the Sima Family away!”
Ye Tian spoke with utmost fairness and kindness, yet Uncle Zhang’s heart couldn’t help but remain anxious.
“King of the Night, no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to defeat the Sima Family!
I advise you not to oppose the Sima Family.
Now that you have found the Spirit Vein, if you inform the Sima Family of its location, perhaps they will spare your life!”
Uncle Zhang advised, but Ye Tian couldn’t be bothered to listen anymore and left the interrogation room directly.
“Boss, how did it go?”
Seeing Ye Tian emerge, Ye Xuong hurriedly approached to inquire.
Ye Tian smiled and replied, “Things are not bad, though there are still many doubts.”
“Then boss, what should the brothers do next?”
Ye Xuong asked again.
Now that Night King Hall was at odds with the Sima Family, there could be no further compromise, and Ye Xuong hoped that Night King Hall could fight a do-or-die battle with the Sima Family!
Ye Tian naturally sensed Ye Xuong’s intent, but after learning of the Sima Family’s strength from Uncle Zhang, Ye Tian didn’t think that engaging in battle with the Sima Family at this time was a wise choice…
“Ye Xuong, tell the brothers to stay calm.
Since the opponent is too strong, even if Night King Hall pulls out all the stops, I’m afraid we won’t come out on top.
So, for now, the brothers should focus on healing their wounds.
Without my command, do not act rashly!”
“…”
Ye Tian’s order made Ye Xuong somewhat helpless.
But since Ye Tian was the boss of Night King Hall, Ye Xuong had no choice but to heed his orders.
“Understood!
Boss!”
Ye Xuong bowed to Ye Tian, then watched him leave.
“Oh, Ye Xuong!”
Ye Tian had just taken two steps out when he suddenly remembered something urgent, so he stopped in his tracks.
“What’s the matter, boss?”
Ye Xuong asked, and Ye Tian replied, “Next time I come here, I will teach you the method to cultivate the Xuan Yun technique.
Prepare yourself, and make sure not to get hurt!”
“This…”
Ye Xuong didn’t understand what Ye Tian meant at first, but after two seconds, he finally grasped Ye Tian’s intent and became extremely excited.
“Boss, are you serious?
Are you truly planning to teach me how to wield the force of nature?”
Ye Xuong’s excitement was within Ye Tian’s expectations.
After Ye Xuong had calmed down, Ye Tian continued, “Ye Xuong, in Night King Hall, your strength is second only to mine.
More importantly, you have experienced the force of nature before, so cultivating the Xuan Yun technique is absolutely suitable for you.
But remember, even I faced tribulations while cultivating the Xuan Yun technique.
So you must be careful; otherwise, if you deviate, at the least you will lose all your martial arts, and at worst, you will lose your life!”
Ye Tian’s words did not instill fear in Ye Xuong, but rather made him even more resolute!
“Boss, rest assured!
If I can’t even withstand such tribulations, what face would I have to be your right-hand man?”
Seeing Ye Xuong so confident, Ye Tian gave a slight smile.
He did not linger but left the headquarters of Night King Hall directly.
The Xuan Yun technique, or any other cultivation technique for absorbing the force of nature, was not easy to master.
Even Ye Tian himself had fainted for three days and nights while cultivating the Xuan Yun technique…
Therefore, Ye Tian did not dare to hastily pass on the method of the Xuan Yun technique to the martial artists of Night King Hall.
The reason for teaching the Xuan Yun technique to Ye Xuong was out of urgent necessity.
If at this moment the combat power of Night King Hall wasn’t increased, it would certainly be destroyed by the Sima Family.
But even in urgency, Ye Tian could not act recklessly.
He could only start with Ye Xuong!
In Night King Hall, Ye Xuong’s strength was only second to his own, making him the number two expert.
Not only was he strong, but most importantly, he had previously wielded the ominous black force, so his resistance to the force of nature should be the lowest.
Ye Tian was unsure whether Ye Xuong could truly master the Xuan Yun technique, but at this point, what choice did he have to turn back?
As he thought about it, Ye Tian arrived in the urban area of Jiangcheng.
Checking the time, it was already afternoon, and Yun Corporation should be off work…
Having seen Yun Xinyan at Jiangcheng People’s Hospital in the morning, Ye Tian was still feeling shaken up to this moment, so he immediately rushed home.
There were things he must discuss with his wife, Yun Xinyan!
First there were Yun Xinyan’s sleep-talking incidents, followed by the gossip between Yun Xinyan and Bai Lan, and finally Yun Xinyan going to the hospital to have her “sample” checked…
Although these three things seemed sparse and ordinary, when linked together, they always left Ye Tian feeling uncomfortable!
A man of his stature, doubted by his own woman, Ye Tian felt he had to prove himself!
Once back at the villa where he and Yun Xinyan lived, as soon as he walked through the door, before he could say anything, someone pounced on him!
“Husband, you’re back!”
The voice was crisp, like that of a little bird.
The person who threw herself at him, if not Yun Xinyan, then who?
“Wife, you look really beautiful today!”
Ye Tian gazed affectionately at Yun Xinyan.
Although she had dressed this way before, she had never been as enchantingly beautiful as today.
In the past, Yun Xinyan was the quintessential strongwoman and ice queen, but after marrying him, the ice slowly melted and the sharp edges of the strongwoman dulled.
Today, in front of Ye Tian, Yun Xinyan was like a charming married woman, her entire being exuding allure.
What was more important was that today, Yun Xinyan actually called him “husband,” which thrilled Ye Tian from head to toe!
“Husband, where did you go last night?
I was so worried about you!”
Yun Xinyan inquired with concern after Ye Tian entered the house.
Although Ye Tian had seen Yun Xinyan at the People’s Hospital, she had not seen him.
Thus, for Yun Xinyan, it had been nearly two days since she had seen her husband…
“Just some trivial matters!
But they’ve all been successfully resolved!
So, my dear good wife, tonight, I can properly be with you!”
Ye Tian wore a mischievous smile.
To prove his capabilities to Yun Xinyan, he had to perform well tonight.
This way, Yun Xinyan wouldn’t harbor any more wild thoughts!
“Husband, you’re so good!”
Yun Xinyan acted out of character, planting a gentle kiss on Ye Tian’s cheek before heading to the kitchen.
“Husband, wait just a moment, dinner will be ready shortly!
Let’s eat together, just the two of us!”
It seemed that Yun Xinyan, distressed at not falling pregnant just yet, even her disposition changed somewhat.
In front of Ye Tian, she was willing to let go of her strongwoman’s pride, becoming like a tender and virtuous wife and mother.
