CHAPTER 691: CHAPTER 674 A TRAGEDY CAUSED BY A DRAGON GATE OUTER SECT DISCIPLE

Late at night, Tingxiang Pavilion.

After leaving the Violet Holiday Hotel, Ye Huan drove his Mercedes-Benz back to Tingxiang Pavilion.

"Boom——"

The car roared to a stop.

Ye Huan got out of the car, looked at the thick smoke billowing from the hood, and shook his head helplessly.

Even if he drove for another fifteen minutes, the car was bound to break down completely.

It looks like it’s time to find a moment to have a repair company tow the car for repairs.

Exhaling a deep breath, Ye Huan stepped towards Tingxiang Pavilion, only to notice that the villa’s hall lights were still on.

It’s already midnight, and Liu Tianyun and the others are still awake?

Ye Huan was a bit surprised, gently pushing open the villa door as he walked up the stairs.

There, Liu Tianyun and Zhang Huimin sat together, holding a tablet.

Their faces slightly flushed, they chatted and laughed at the tablet, clearly on a video call with someone.

Moreover, they looked extremely focused.

Huan quickly changed his shoes and went to their side, but they didn’t notice him.

"Alright then, get some rest early..."

On the other end of the tablet, Lilu was speaking when, for some reason, his expression slightly changed.

This scene made Liu Tianyun and Zhang Huimin realize something.

The two turned their heads and saw Ye Huan, resting his hands on the sofa behind them, and suddenly shivered: "Ye Huan? When... when did you come back?"

"Just came back." Ye Huan smiled and sat beside them on the sofa, "I saw you two were enjoying the chat, so I didn’t interrupt."

Just came back?

The two exchanged glances and both sighed in relief.

Lilu’s unusual expression had indeed only surfaced a few seconds prior.

So maybe Ye Huan didn’t hear what the call was about...

The two felt a bit guilty, their eyes darting around.

"What are you guys chatting about, staying up so late?" Ye Huan leaned lazily on the sofa, yawning and casually asked.

Faced with this question, the two seemed flustered, their eyes shifty: "We..."

"We started talking during dinner, and we’ve enjoyed it so much that we’re not tired yet."

"But you, little Huan."

"Not to scold you, but coming home so late at night, how could you bear to let your precious wives guard an empty house alone? Also, with no man at home, what if thieves or bandits come? What would happen if Tianyun and the others were in danger, you really have a big heart."

On the tablet, Lilu’s expression was serious, "reprimanding" Ye Huan, while helping the two out of the bind, making them blush.

Ye Huan’s face blushed as well.

Wives guarding an empty house? Those words are quite bold!

Still, coming home so late isn’t ideal.

"Something unexpected came up today, I’ll take care about it in the future," Ye Huan promised.

"Remember to come home early next time."

"By the way."

Lilu switched topics: "I told your grandpa about how you defeated Lin Xie during the competition, and the Dragon Gate elders couldn’t take the loss, attacking you. He said he would take care of it soon."

"Alright, got it."

Ye Huan nodded, feeling relieved that a major problem was addressed.

In the Western Dark World, those mercenaries and assassins with blood-stained hands and lives often avoided the Dragon Gate disciples who came to the Dark World for training as much as possible, fearing them immensely!

The reason is simple: the Dragon Gate is famously protective!

Hurt a disciple, and their master steps in, hurt the master, and their master’s master steps in...

Fifty years ago, when Poseidon came to Huaxia for a vacation, he happened to have a conflict with an Outer Sect disciple from the Dragon Gate. Intending only to teach a lesson, he accidentally seriously injured him.

Later, the disciple’s master learned about it and, in a rage, went down the mountain to confront Poseidon.

Poseidon, being a Celestial God Level expert, it didn’t turn well for the old man who was seriously injured by a kick from Poseidon!

Then came the master’s master...

The master’s master’s master...

The Divine Dragon Guard descended the mountain, also severely beaten!

It was only then that the Dragon Gate discovered that the troublemaker in Huaxia was a Western Celestial God!

Infuriated, the Dragon Gate’s patriarch crawled out of the coffin, leading twelve Dragon Gods down the mountain, wielding a sword, chasing Poseidon for a thousand miles, finally intercepting him in the infinite Eastern sea, and repelling the other eleven Western Celestial Gods led by Zeus that came to negotiate, blasting Poseidon with a palm strike that left him spitting blood endlessly.

Poseidon never imagined harming an insignificant Outer Sect disciple would escalate to causing the Dragon Gate’s patriarch to climb out of the coffin!

It was simply absurd!

This incident left Poseidon with a severe psychological shadow, remaining seriously injured for fifty years, not daring to step out of his Sea God’s Divine Hall, fearing the Dragon Gate patriarch’s vengeance!

Similarly, it left the Western Dark World with a serious psychological shadow!

At the time, all twelve Celestial Gods assumed the previous Dragon Gate Sect Leader had been deceased for decades.

Who would have thought he’d crawl out of the coffin!

This realization made the Twelve Celestial Gods ponder deeply.

If the previous Dragon Gate Sect Leader could crawl out, what about the leader before that, and the one before that...?

With countless Divine King Level experts, who could withstand that!

The Dragon Gate’s unfathomable heritage stopped Zeus and the other celestial gods from contemplating taking revenge on the Dragon Gate for Poseidon’s incident.

The event widely circulated in the Western Dark World, termed as: A Bloodbath Triggered by a Dragon Gate Outer Sect Disciple...

Thinking of this, Ye Huan couldn’t help but sweat.

After seriously injuring Lin Xie, Qin Wudao and other Dragon Gate elders remained silent, definitely having reported the event to the Dragon Gate, awaiting the Dragon Gate’s judgment or waiting for them to send an expert to resolve this matter.

With Li Hentian mediating, it’s certainly better.

Otherwise, Huan might find himself in a scenario where hitting the juniors brings out the seniors, and hitting the seniors brings out the grandmasters, eventually involving the Dragon Gate patriarch, making it a challenging situation to resolve.

Though Ye Huan had a perplexing thought.

The other day when Nan Zhan and his son came to Tingxiang Pavilion to stir trouble, calling Qin Wudao to "mediate," instead of reprimanding Qin Ya and Huan, Qin Wudao aggressively countered the Nan family, obliterating the Great Nan Gang, forcing Nan Zhan and his son to leave Tingxiang Pavilion with the shame of being humiliated. It was outright baffling.

Ye Huan puzzled over why Qin Wudao helped outsiders and punished relatives instead?

Just then, a sleepy yawn came through the tablet.

"That’s it for now, let’s hang up."

"Little Huan, you all rest early, bye-bye."

With Lilu’s last words, the video call ended promptly.

Beside, Liu Tianyun and Zhang Huimin feigned yawning, lazily stretching before standing up: "So tired, we’re heading to rest too."

They said this and were about to head upstairs.

Ye Huan, still curious, asked, "What were you discussing that kept you talking since dinner?"

Liu Tianyun and Zhang Huimin paused, their eyes darting around again.

Afraid Ye Huan would catch on and press further, they rushed to go upstairs.

To their surprise, Ye Huan’s attention followed Lilu’s lead to different topics, only to refocus in an instant.

Noticing the girls’ odd behavior, Ye Huan smiled and said, "If it’s hard to say, that’s alright, I was just curious. You both go rest."

The two paused again, and then hesitantly spoke: "It’s not that it’s hard to say."

They didn’t want to hide anything from their man, but Lilu expressly urged them not to reveal this matter to Ye Huan.

Weighing the pros and cons, the two nodded at each other.

Choosing between their mother-in-law and their husband, they chose their husband!

"We were discussing the wedding with Mom," Liu Tianyun said.

Wedding?

Ye Huan’s brows furrowed, his expression turning serious.

This matter indeed needs to be prioritized.

No matter what, his relationship with Liu Tianyun and Zhang Huimin is already settled.

Not having the wedding means they lack an official status, which is unacceptable.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Huan earnestly said: "Give me a bit more time, once I’ve handled this current issue, I’ll make sure to marry both of you in a grand fashion!"
