Ye Qiancheng caught the underlying meaning in Ye Qingling's words, and his expression changed instantly.
He couldn't help but quickly glance at Ye Fan, hoping she would plead for Ye Qingling soon.
The woman before him, though seemingly harmless and with a charming smile, was actually dangerous. Beneath her friendly demeanor lay a hidden blade, capable of killing without hesitation. She was someone who could toy with a formidable divine beast like the Azure Dragon as if it were nothing more than a mudfish.
Yet Ye Qingling dared to speak to her in such a pointed manner. If she angered her, it was likely that no one present, except for Ye Fan, could save her.
"Ye Family Head, what are you doing? Did I say anything about what I wanted?" Wuma Xian'er said, somewhat exasperated, noticing the tense expressions on Ye Qiancheng and Ye Feng's faces.
She then turned to Ye Fan, blinking playfully and speaking in a soft tone, "Am I really that scary, sister?"
Ye Fan smiled noncommittally, giving a look that suggested Wuma Xian'er understood the situation herself. She then addressed Ye Feng and Ye Qiancheng, saying, "Dad, Uncle Feng, it's fine. You don't need to be nervous; Sister Xian'er was just joking with Qingling."
"Uh... really?" Ye Feng asked, looking between Wuma Xian'er and Ye Fan with lingering concern.
"Really," Ye Fan nodded. Only then did Ye Feng seem to relax.
Then he turned sharply to Ye Qingling and scolded her, "Qingling, you really need to be more sensible. Sit down properly right now."
“Father! I want to take care of the young master!”
“You still dare to speak,” Ye Feng scolded again.
“Uncle Feng, let it be!” Ye Fan turned his gaze towards Ye Qingling and said, “Since Sister Qingling wants to follow me, then let her come along!”
“Uh, young master, this…” Ye Feng was taken aback. Although he was somewhat worried about letting Ye Qingling stay by Ye Fan's side, he also hoped that she could accompany him.
After all, this young master was no ordinary person; his strength and talent were evident to all.
Now that he had joined a powerful Sect, having his daughter by his side would undoubtedly be far better than staying within the family.
“Uncle Feng, rest assured. Sister Qingling will be with me, and I will make sure no one harms her,” Ye Fan assured.
“Then thank you, young master!” Ye Feng quickly scolded Ye Qingling, “Why aren’t you thanking the young master?”
Ye Qingling giggled, her earlier grievances instantly swept away as she winked at Ye Fan.
Wuma Xian'er smiled; with her strength, she wouldn’t bother arguing with a little girl like Ye Qingling.
“Father, Uncle Feng, since that’s settled, let’s not delay any longer and head out!” Ye Fan said to Ye Qingling, “Sister Qingling, go pack your things quickly and meet us here.”
“Okay.” Ye Qingling nodded without hesitation and went off to gather her belongings.
“Fan, come here; I need to ask you something.” Just as Ye Fan was about to leave, Ye Qiancheng suddenly called out.
Ye Fan nodded in confusion, then stood up and walked over to Ye Qiancheng's side.
“Fan, let’s talk over here.” Ye Qiancheng led Ye Fan outside to a corner and suddenly whispered mysteriously, “Fan, I just remembered something important.”
"Dad, what's the matter?" Seeing Ye Qiancheng acting mysteriously, Ye Fan asked with some confusion.
Ye Qiancheng whispered, "What about your Immortal Master? A lot has happened recently, but I haven't seen him show up at all!"
"Immortal Master..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan was momentarily taken aback.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to your Immortal Master?" Ye Qiancheng noticed Ye Fan's silence and frowned slightly. "But that shouldn't be the case! Your master is an immortal; how could anything happen to him?"
"Ha..."
Ye Fan let out a long sigh and nodded. "You're right! My master is an immortal; how could he possibly run into trouble?"
As he spoke, Ye Fan pointed up at the sky.
"Flying away? Ascended?"
Seeing Ye Fan pointing upwards, Ye Qiancheng was momentarily stunned and speculated.
"Dad, you're really smart; you figured it out!" Ye Fan couldn't help but give Ye Qiancheng a thumbs up before quickly turning around and heading back to the living room.
Watching Ye Fan leave, Ye Qiancheng couldn't help but feel speechless. He muttered to himself, "So smart, huh? I'm not foolish; I already knew your master must have run off. After all, how could an immortal possibly stay in the Lower Realm forever?"
Moments later, under the watchful eyes of Ye Qiancheng, Ye Feng, and other Ye Clan members,
Ye Fan, along with Ye Qingling and Wuma Xian'er, soared into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, they vanished from everyone's sight.
"Soaring Dragon," Young Master, by the time he returns next time, who knows how powerful he will be!" As Ye Fan and the others disappeared from sight, Ye Feng couldn't help but exclaim from the bottom of his heart.
Hearing this, Ye Qiancheng couldn't help but show a hint of pride on his face.
Pointing at Ye Feng, he said, "How about it? Are you envious? That is my son, Ye Qiancheng."
After saying that, Ye Qiancheng put his hands behind his back, looking quite pleased with himself, and swaggered away.
Ye Feng watched Ye Qiancheng's arrogant figure and couldn't help but snort, muttering, "What are you so proud of? If my daughter ends up being your son's wife, then maybe your son will have to listen to my daughter! Hmph!"
With that, Ye Feng puffed out his cheeks and glared before striding toward his own residence.
However, it was clear that both Ye Qiancheng and Ye Feng were genuinely happy.
…………
Not long after Ye Fan and Wuma Xian'er left Heavenly River Mansion.
On Overseas Immortal Island, powerful beings arrived once again, and among them was the White Jade Dragon Sovereign.
Under the leadership of the White Jade Dragon Sovereign, they descended upon the Ye Family.
However, upon learning that Ye Fan and Wuma Xian'er had already set off for the Southern Wilderness, they did not say much more and did not make things difficult for the Ye Family; they simply left.
Before departing, though, Ye Qiancheng privately conveyed a few words from Ye Fan to the White Jade Dragon Sovereign.
Several days passed.
In the Azure Wave Celestial Kingdom, in the Western Capital Shengjing, a group of figures approached with great momentum.
Upon entering Shengjing, they did not cause much commotion. Instead, they concealed their presence and reserved a large private room in a bustling restaurant.
However, if anyone were to recognize their identities, they would surely be astonished.
For these arrivals were none other than the powerful figures from the Four Dominant Forces of the Inner Domain of Overseas Immortal Island.
Even the leaders of the Suspended King Sword Sect, Jin Shan, the Ninefold Celestial Gate, Baili Qinghong, the Master of Qilin Temple and the Four Ancestors, as well as the Wanjin Dragon Emperor of the Ten Thousand Seas Dragon Palace, had come together in person.
Each of these four individuals was a formidable presence. Just one stomp from any of them could likely shake the entire Shengjing.
