Chapter 18
“You unfilial daughter!” Ye Fengtian was both shocked and furious as he looked at his cold-hearted daughter. He raised his palm at her with a fiery passion. However, he was a Mystic King!
A Mystic King’s cultivation was far above a Mystic Soldier’s! A Mystic King could crush countless Mystic Soldiers—like Su Qin—like ants.
Boom!
Therefore, the moment Ye Fengtian raised his palm, the entire main hall felt as if thousands of horses were galloping and thousands of troops were sweeping across. In just a moment, the main hall of the Southern Palace actually exploded on the spot.
Boom! Boom!
Violent explosions rang out incessantly. Not only did it cause the residue of the palace hall to scatter in all directions, but the private guards of the nearby guardians also couldn’t dodge in time and were blasted far away.
“Is there an enemy attack!? Is this an enemy attack?!” Such a huge commotion caused everyone in the Southern Palace to panic. Many people still did not know what had happened.
The rest of the people in the palace were also alarmed! Many people rushed over, thinking that the Southern Palace had been attacked. Even Rong Mo came to the scene as soon as possible.
However, what he saw was not the scene of the attack, but…
What he saw was a father and daughter confronting each other in the original main hall of the Southern Palace. That girl who had fallen down from climbing through a window last night and revealed an embarrassed expression was now standing 30 feet away from her father with such an upright and stubborn countenance.
She was holding a Nine Phoenix Sky Ornament in her hand. He had heard of this dangling ornament before; it should belong to her grandmother and was a spirit artifact. It was said that it could accumulate killing intent and could even detect it. It was a protective talisman and also a deadly weapon.
Crack, crack. However, this piece of dangling ornament was currently shattering and slowly disappearing from Ye Qianli’s hand. In the end, nothing was left behind.
This was the power of the Mystic King’s palm strike. Even if he hadn’t used his full strength yet! However, it was obvious what sort of outcome she would face if this palm really struck onto the body of the ‘trash’ Ye Qianli.
However…
The person in question, Ye Qianli, was not shocked; neither did she show any signs of panic. She looked at Ye Fengtian with such calm eyes and said, “Three lives are enough to offset the grace of the two of you bestowing life onto me.”
She added, “From now on, I, Ye Qianli, and Ye Fengtian will no longer have a father-daughter relationship, and I will no longer have a mother-daughter relationship with Su Qin! I, Ye Qianli, am only Ye Qianli.”
After saying that, Ye Qianli turned around and left. She did not look at her parents again nor did she give another glance to her surroundings. She simply walked straight out.
This swivel of hers was firm and decisive! It made all those who saw her feel that she would never turn back again. Never again.
“You wicked daughter, stop right there!” Ye Feng was so angry that he was about to go crazy, especially when he sensed that there were advancing outsiders nearby. Not only was he furious, but he was also extremely embarrassed.
However, why would Ye Qianli still listen to him? Of course, she would not stop.
“Believe it or not, I’ll break your legs!” Ye Fengtian roared.
Ye Qianli still did not stop. Even if Ye Fengtian really wanted to break her legs, she would not stop.
“Leave! As long as you leave this place, you’ll never have a place in the Ye family ever again! You don’t have to bear the surname Ye either!” Ye Fengtian was really so angry that he was about to explode.
When Ye Qianli heard this, her footsteps paused for a moment. However, just when Ye Fengtian thought that she was giving in, she said coldly, “My surname has never been ‘your’ Ye. Your daughter’s name is Su Lianhua. Su Lianhua who eats the Innate Talent Pill and Jade Dew Pill. Not me, Ye Qianli.”
As soon as these words came out, Ye Fengtian—who was originally still furious—was stunned. His entire body stiffened. He probably didn’t expect Ye Qianli to know these things and reveal them at this moment, too.
However, it was undeniable how unfair this was to Ye Qianli! She was the Eldest Young Lady of the Ye family, but the treasure of the Ye family, Innate Talent Pill, and Su Qin’s dowry, Jade Dew Pill, was not given to her… but to Su Lianhua.
How could there be such a huge difference between a younger female cousin and a legitimate eldest young lady of the family? Who was the real daughter; who was the real cousin? It was unimaginable.
“Rebellious daughter, unfilial daughter trying to kill her mother…” Su Qin, whose aura was weak, was weeping blood and pointing her fingers angrily. She looked quite miserable too, making the onlookers feel that things were very complicated.
Perhaps the reason why the biological daughter didn’t get treated like one wasn’t that the royal Ye couple was biased, but because this Eldest Young Lady of the Ye family was really disobedient. After all, she looked like she wanted to kill even her mother. With such disgraceful behavior, it seemed normal for her to be disfavored like this.
However, no matter what outsiders thought or how they saw it, Ye Qianli didn’t stop anymore nor did she refute anything. She simply walked out of the Southern Palace step by step, with her back ramrod straight, heading towards the exit of the Sky Harmony Palace.
The view of that embroidered white back was so obstinate and arrogant that it raised the eyebrows of many people.
From then on, the news that the only daughter of the Ye Clan—Qianli—rebelled against her mother and committed matricide, severing her relationship with the Ye family on her own and leaving the Ye family with nothing, flew towards the eyes and the ears of those paying close attention to the Ye family.
“Sigh, children with a bit of talent are always more impetuous and rebellious; they are also unable to withstand setbacks.” The white-haired silver-browed elder—who had been personally requested by Rong Feng to investigate the talent cultivator of the Nine Mystical Extraordinary Fire and check on the Ye Clan’s daughter in passing—looked at Ye Qianli with a rather sorrowful expression.
Although he came late, the white-haired silver-browed old man had already heard the news that Ye Qianli was crippled while the cultivator who awakened the Jade Rabbit Talent last night was Prince Ye’s niece, Su Lianhua.
Therefore, in his view at this moment, these kinds of actions by Ye Qianli were merely because she could not stand the difference of turning from a genius into a useless individual and a goddess turning into a lowly chicken. She was just venting her rebelliousness, that was all.
After suffering hardships outside, this child would return to the Ye residence obediently on her own and seek her last protection. After all, as a rather pretty girl who was a good-for-nothing, it would be very difficult for her to survive alone.
“What a pity, what a real pity…” At this moment, Doctor Jiang, who stood beside the white-haired silver-browed old man, shook his head and sighed in pity.
“Let’s go and take a look at Prince Ye first. We’ll have to check on that Su Clan’s daughter in the end. Since she ate the Jade Dew Pill, she should be fine,” said the old man with white hair and silver eyebrows.
“Please,” Doctor Jiang nodded. Although he felt that it was not a good idea to meet the Ye family’s heir now, the safety of the talent cultivators was more important. He still had to prioritize the country.
“Elder Jiang, please.”
…
Not long after Ye Qianli left, the two elders entered the messy Southern Palace. However, the moment the two of them entered, that white-haired, silver-browed elder immediately looked up as though he detected something.
Upon looking up, he immediately revealed an expression of shock. That was because he actually saw the Crown Prince Rong Mo—who was wearing a wide-sleeved embroidered robe, looking like a celestial being—on a rooftop somewhere in the Southern Palace.
“Your Highness, the Crown Prince?” The elderly man almost thought he was seeing things.
“Your Highness?” Elder Jiang noticed that something was wrong with the old man beside him. Indeed, he looked up and saw Crown Prince Rong Mo, too. His face was also extremely shocked.
After all, this crown prince had never given much attention to irrelevant matters. He never gave superfluous attention! However, he had appeared here now! Could it be that he was still paying attention to the Ye family?
How could this be…
Didn’t the crown prince look down on the daughter of the Ye Clan? Also, didn’t the engagement between the crown prince and the daughter of the Ye Clan fall through because the daughter of the Ye Clan was crippled?
Since he no longer had anything to do with them, then why did His Highness, the Crown Prince, come here? Moreover, he even came personally, this…
