Chapter 458: Chapter Three: meeting the eldest sister (third update)
Zhou Yuan and Zhou Yi fell silent when they heard Ye Sheng’s words.
They didn’t know what to say either.
After all, Ye Sheng had risked his life to come to Xianyang to save their daughter and sister.
“Ye Sheng, yin ‘er was lucky to marry you back then,”Zhou Yuan said with emotion.
Ye Sheng shook his head and didn’t want to talk about this. He asked, “Father-in-law, do you know where Yin ‘er is being held?”
“Ye residence. No one dares to enter ye Hong’s residence, so that’s the safest place,”Zhou Yuan said with a frown.
“Does Qin Ershi know about this?”Ye Sheng asked.
“Yes, Qin Ershi also sent people to ask ye Hong, but ye Hong directly said that he didn’t capture him and ignored Qin Ershi’s request,”Zhou Yi said helplessly.
“Ye Hong directly ignored Qin Ershi.”Ye Sheng frowned. It seemed that this so-called number one expert of Great Qin had started to do as he pleased.
Perhaps the pure land guarded by the members of the longevity clan that he had always cared about was about to open, and Ye Hong was no longer accumulating his strength.
“Ye Sheng, in a month’s time, are you confident that you can defeat ye Hong?”Zhou Yuan asked seriously.
Ye Sheng shook his head and said, “If I can break through once within this month, I have a 40% chance.”
“You’re currently at the fifth level of the Void Realm, and you’re breaking through to the sixth level of the Void Realm. What do you need?”Zhou Yuan immediately asked.
“A massive amount of spiritual qi, treasures, and comprehension,”ye Sheng said.
“I don’t have these things,”Zhou Yuan said regretfully. He was cultivating the dao of literature, and what he needed was accumulation. It was great righteousness, and he did not value these things very much.
“I’ll think of a way on my own. Father-in-law, how far are you from the Sage Realm?”Ye Sheng asked.
“I’m still one step away, but it’s just this one step. I Can’t cross it now. After Yin ‘er was captured, I was so distracted that I didn’t have the mood to cultivate at all. I definitely won’t be able to break through in a short time.”Zhou Yuan shook his head and said.
Ye Sheng fell silent. It seemed that Zhou Yuan couldn’t help him with this.
Just as he fell silent, a hanger-on came forward to report, “Master, His Majesty’s Messenger has arrived. He said he wants to see the son-in-law.”
Ye Sheng raised his eyebrows and said, “He wants to see me. Does Qin Ershi know that I’m Back?”
“His Majesty’s control over Xianyang is more strict than we thought. In addition, you came here directly after you came back. Many people in Xianyang probably know that you’re back now,”Zhou Yuan said.
Ye Sheng nodded and was not surprised. He thought for a moment and said, “Then I will go to the palace to see Qin the second.”
“Go. His Majesty should be able to help you a little.”Zhou Yuan nodded and said.
Ye Sheng turned around and left with his servants. As soon as he left the mansion, he saw a familiar carriage. In front of the carriage, a familiar figure stood and looked at Ye Sheng with a smile.
Eunuch Lin.
It had been a long time since they last met, but he was still the same as usual. This time, he was the one who came to pick ye Sheng up.
Ye Sheng had entered the palace so many times, and every time, eunuch Lin was the one who picked him up and sent him off. It was quite a fate.
“Greetings, Young Master Ye Sheng,”eunuch Lin bowed and said.
“Eunuch Lin, long time no see. How is eldest sister recently?”Ye Sheng asked.
“Recently, everything has been fine with Noble Consort Ye. The only thing I’m particularly worried about is young master Ye Sheng. Especially after young master wrote that challenge letter, I’m even more worried every day and can’t sleep,”eunuch Lin sighed.
Ye Sheng fell silent. Eldest sister was still as good to him as always, worried about his safety.
“This time, you want to see me. Is it eldest sister’s intention?”Ye Sheng asked.
“No, it was his majesty’s idea this time. Noble Consort Ye doesn’t know that you’re back yet.”Eunuch Lin shook his head and said.
“OH.”Ye Sheng was surprised.
“Young Master Ye Sheng, get in the carriage. His Majesty is waiting for you.”Eunuch Lin turned around and opened the curtain.
Ye Sheng took a big step and boarded the carriage, sitting in it peacefully.
Eunuch Lin followed him in and ordered the imperial army to hurry up. He looked at Ye Sheng and made tea and burned incense as usual.
Ye Sheng watched eunuch Lin do this and slowly calmed down. Since he had come to Xianyang, he would work hard to move forward.
The horse carriage galloped towards the imperial palace. Ye Sheng did not say a word inside and enjoyed this moment of peace.
After eunuch Lin brewed the tea, he handed a cup to Ye Sheng. After a moment of hesitation, he said, “Young Master Ye Sheng, you are a little impulsive this time.”
Ye Sheng smiled calmly and didn’t say anything. He picked up the Teacup and drank it in one gulp.
“Young Master Ye Sheng, Noble Consort Ye is very worried about you. This time, Noble Consort Ye probably won’t let you leave after entering the palace.”Eunuch Lin took a deep breath and looked at Ye Sheng, who had a calm expression. He felt a kind of silent pressure.
The current Ye Sheng wasn’t the Ye Sheng from three years ago. The Ye Sheng from three years ago was only at the Houtian realm. Eunuch Lin only treated it as a potential stock. However, three years later, Ye Sheng had wiped out the four great emptiness realm level 11 experts with one sword strike, this battle strength made eunuch Lin have to be very careful when he spoke.
Ye Sheng was no longer the Ye Sheng from before.
“Why?”Ye Sheng asked with a frown.
“Because noble consort ye said that if you challenged ye Hong to a battle, it would be the same as courting death. She wants to keep you in the palace until she can defeat ye Hong before letting you out,”eunuch Lin said softly.
Ye sheng smiled and said, “It’s understandable that big sister is worried.”
Eunuch Lin did not speak anymore and focused on making tea for Ye Sheng.
Time passed by minute by minute. Ten minutes later, the carriage arrived at the entrance of the palace. Ye Sheng and eunuch Lin got off the carriage and went straight to the main hall where Qin Ershi was resting.
The main hall was empty. Only Qin Ershi stood with his hands behind his back.
Eunuch Lin stopped at the entrance of the main hall and let Ye Sheng go in alone while he stood guard.
Ye Sheng took a step in and walked behind Qin Ershi.
“Greetings, Your Majesty,”Ye Sheng said indifferently. He didn’t kneel and only nodded his head.
He could kill those at the eleventh level of the emptiness realm now, so he deserved this treatment.
“Ye Sheng, I haven’t seen you for a period of time. You have really made me look at you in a new light,”Qin Ershi turned around and looked at Ye Sheng while praising him.
“A scholar should be treated differently after three days. His Majesty should be used to it.”Ye Sheng smiled slightly and said.
This was not arrogance or self-modesty. It was telling the truth about his talent.
In these few years, didn’t Ye Sheng improve a lot after a period of time?
“Your eldest sister will be here soon. I asked someone to inform her.”Qin Ershi invited Ye Sheng to sit down and said.
“His Majesty summoned me to the palace. It shouldn’t be just to see your eldest sister, right?”Ye Sheng asked.
“Yes, you know why I asked you to enter the palace.”Qin Ershi pointed at Ye Sheng and said.
Ye Sheng nodded, indicating that he knew.
“Are you confident?”Qin Ershi asked directly.
Ye Sheng shook his head and said, “I’m not confident.”
“You still issued a challenge if you’re not confident?”Qin Ershi asked in surprise.
“I can’t help it. My wife is in ye Hong’s hands. If I don’t kill him, how can I save her?”Ye Sheng said.
“I didn’t expect you to be like me. You’re a lover,”Qin ershi chuckled and said.
“Lover my ass. You’re only happy if you want to play yourself to death, right? There are plenty of ways to save Beauty Zhou. Why do you have to be so extreme? Do You Think You Can Challenge ye Hong just because you have a little bit of ability?”A berating voice was heard, the beautiful and moving big sister appeared at the door and looked at Ye Sheng with a serious face.
