?65: Chapter 65 Ye Ping Returns Home 65: Chapter 65 Ye Ping Returns Home Three days passed, and when the news of the Leng Family’s annihilation spread throughout the Ancient Martial World, it instantly caused a huge uproar, with various speculations emerging.

    Some said the Leng Family’s destruction was the work of old enemies, while others said the Leng Family had offended someone significant, which led to their tragic end.

    There were no eternal dynasties, nor everlasting families.

    The extinction of an Ancient Martial Family was rare, but there were many such instances.

    After all, in the world of martial arts, enmity and slaughter were natural.

    Although the destruction of the Leng Family shook the Ancient Martial World, it quickly settled down.

    However, this event greatly shocked Azure Dragon, who could never have imagined that Ye Xuan could be so terrifying, destroying an entire Ancient Martial Family in an instant.

    At the same time, when the Zhuo Family received the news of the Leng Family’s destruction, Old Master Zhuo seemed to age ten years, becoming extremely anxious and restless, because it was he who had passed the information about Ye Xuan to the Leng Family.

    If this was not Ye Xuan’s doing, he would never believe it.

    It was also at this time that a major change occurred in the Zhuo Family.

    Old Master Zhuo died suddenly overnight, found dead at home from heart failure according to the doctors.

    Yet, the upheaval was not over; following Old Master Zhuo’s sudden death, Junting’s father also died in a car accident, and all the power of the Zhuo Family fell into the hands of Zhuo Wenbin, Junting’s younger brother.

    Junting herself vanished without a trace and was declared a missing person by the Suspended Mirror Department.

    ...

    Jiangnan City.

    Firecrackers resounded and fireworks dazzled; today was Spring Festival, which was also the most important festival in Xia Country.

    Everyone’s faces were filled with festive joy, making it incredibly lively.

    Biyun Pavilion, at home.

    Ye Xuan wore a smile, enjoying the New Year’s Eve dinner with his family.

    This was the first Spring Festival he spent with his family since his return to the Mortal World, which made him feel especially warm.

    However, Ye Xuan could sense that, although his mother was very happy, there was occasional sorrow in her eyes, clearly missing Ye Ping.

    How could Ye Xuan not perceive such emotions?

    Ye Xuan could only sigh internally, unsure whether to tell his mother about Ye Ping’s current situation!

    Knock, knock, knock!

    Suddenly!

    A knocking sound came, causing Ye Xuan’s brow to furrow slightly, wondering who could be visiting at this time, as everyone was generally at home celebrating the Spring Festival.

    “I’ll get the door,” Ye Ling’er put down her utensils and headed towards the door.

    As Ye Ling’er opened the door, Ye Xuan and his mother also looked outside.

    When a familiar face entered their vision, Ye Xuan was momentarily stunned, and then quietly continued to eat his meal, appearing extremely calm.

    But Ye’s mother cried tears of joy and quickly walked towards the Ye Family’s main door.

    “Ping’er, you...

    how did you come back?”

    Outside, Ye Ping, dressed in a suit and holding many gifts, showed a guilty expression in his eyes and hesitantly called out ‘Mom’.

    “Elder brother.” Looking at Ye Ping, Ye Ling’er also appeared slightly excited.

    “Little sister,” Ye Ping said with a slight nasal twang.

    “Come in quickly, come in quickly, look who it is,” Ye’s mother excitedly spoke, pulling Ye Ping by the arm towards Ye Xuan.

    “Big... Big Brother!”

    Ye Ping looked on as Ye Xuan calmly ate his meal, not sparing him a single glance, which made Ye Ping slightly embarrassed.

    “Xuan, look, your brother has returned.” At this moment, their mother had not yet noticed the unusual atmosphere between the two brothers and excitedly addressed Ye Xuan.

    “Oh!”

    Ye Xuan responded briefly with one word, and that was when their mother realized that something might be amiss.

    “Have you two brothers met?” Their mother, sensing something, asked with a hint of suspicion in her voice.

    Feeling his mother’s uneasy emotions, Ye Xuan finally looked directly at Ye Ping and a smile appeared on his face, “Since you’re back, sit down and have dinner.”

    Looking at Ye Xuan’s smiling face, Ye Ping could feel that there was a chasm between him and Ye Xuan.

    Ye Ping knew that if it weren’t for their mother’s sake, Ye Xuan probably wouldn’t even glance at him.

    “Alright, sit down and eat.

    Tell me, how did the Ye Family let you come back?”

    Under their mother’s invitation, Ye Ping finally sat down, and Ye Ling’er also returned to the dining table.

    This moment of family reunion brought immense joy to their mother.

    At the dining table, their mother kept serving dishes to her children and frequently asked Ye Ping about his current situation.

    Ye Ping answered simply, stating he had grown up and naturally must return to show filial piety to his mother.

    He also explicitly mentioned that he wouldn’t be returning to the Ye Family temporarily, which delighted their mother greatly.

    However, at the dining table, Ye Xuan remained silent.

    Although Ye Ling’er was young, she could sense something was off.

    She noticed Ye Ping becoming tense while chatting with their mother and frequently glancing at Ye Xuan out of the corner of his eye as if he feared him.

    Dinner passed quickly, and the family watched the Spring Festival Gala on TV.

    Although the gala was still as boring as ever, having her children by her side made their mother enjoy it immensely.

    Late at night.

    Their mother personally prepared a room, and Ye Ping stayed there until she returned to her room to rest.

    Then, the two brothers sat facing each other in the living room, while Ye Ling’er secretly cracked open her door a little to secretly observe her two brothers.

    “Big... Big Brother!” Looking at Ye Xuan’s calm face, Ye Ping stuttered.

    “Don’t call me big brother.

    I told you when we were in the Ye Family that from then on, our brotherly ties were severed.” Ye Xuan’s expression was normal, his voice incredibly calm.

    “Big Brother, I know you blame me, but can’t you forgive me?” Ye Ping said, his face pale.

    Looking at his younger brother from the past, Ye Xuan said softly, “I don’t know why you have come back or what mission the Ye Family has given you, but let me tell you, if you make our mother and Ling’er sad, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

    “Brother, do we really have no brotherly affection left at all?” Ye Ping clenched his fists, visibly agitated.

    Ye Xuan stood up from his seat, looking down at Ye Ping from above, “Do you know what it was like when I returned home?”

    “I hope you don’t force me because I really will kill you!”

    Ye Xuan suddenly turned and walked towards his room, his pitiless voice echoing in Ye Ping’s ears, sending chills through his heart and causing him immense distress.

    Ye Ping could feel that his older brother was not merely speaking figuratively; that icy gaze was akin to that of the god of the underworld, as if he might take his life the next moment, which troubled him deeply, leaving him wondering what he was thinking about.

    Inside her room, Ye Ling’er secretly watched the scene, covering her mouth to almost exclaim in shock.

    Ye Ling’er couldn’t understand what had happened that led Ye Xuan to speak of killing Ye Ping, and it was clear that the two brothers had met earlier and something very unpleasant must have occurred.
