The third day.
In Liang City, the storm had passed, and calmness returned in an instant, as if the Ye Family massacre had never occurred.
Ye Yang showed no signs of distress; in fact, he had no expectation that the city lord, Pang Jing, would take charge of the Ye Family's affairs. In reality, Pang Jing neither had the willingness nor the capability to do so.
During these three days, aside from mourning, Ye Yang had been tirelessly managing everything related to the Ye Family Forge. This forge was the culmination of Ye Beichi and Ye Nantian's lifelong efforts, and it was Ye Yang's responsibility to restore it to its former glory.
...
"Zi Yu!"
Ye Beichi approached in a black robe, his injuries having healed significantly. At this moment, he seemed to have taken on the role of the Ye Family's overseer, handling matters efficiently.
"Second Uncle, what is it?" Ye Yang slowly opened his eyes, feeling his True Qi circulating naturally within him, indicating a step forward in his cultivation.
Ye Beichi said, "The Azure Thunder Merchant Association has sent someone!"
"Who is it?"
"Lei Xiaodie; she specifically requested to see you!"
"Please have her go to the reception room; I'll be there shortly!"
"Alright!"
Ye Yang furrowed his brow. After the upheaval in the Ye Family, they had become like a plague in Liang City, with no one daring to approach them. Lei Xiaodie was the first visitor, which brought a flicker of warmth to Ye Yang's heart. Regardless of her motives, her willingness to come at least proved her intentions.
Upon arriving at the reception room, Lei Xiaodie was still dressed in a thin gauzy dress, holding only a slender sword in her hand and without any attendants following her. This seemed inconsistent with her status as the young lady of the Azure Thunder Merchant Association.
Lei Xiaodie lowered her head and after a while, she dared to look at Ye Yang. Once their eyes met, she immediately became flustered, glancing around and murmuring, "Zi Yu, I..."
Ye Yang stood up, picked up a tea cup nearby, and said gently, "Lei Xiaodie, why don't you have some water first?"
"Oh... um..."
Lei Xiaodie took the tea and stood there, her eyes red. She softly said, "I'm sorry... I was supposed to organize the Redstone Alliance's actions, but I couldn't help it..."
Ye Yang nodded. "I understand your situation. The Ye Family somehow provoked that troublesome Redstone Alliance. Everyone in Liang City is still afraid of retaliation from the Redstone Alliance and dares not approach the Ye Family. I'm already very touched that you came here, so tell me, what brings you this time?"
Lei Xiaodie bit her lip and met Ye Yang's gaze. "I've regained control of the Azure Thunder Merchant Association. If you need anything, I will do my best to help you!"
Ye Yang quickly nodded. "That's exactly what I've been waiting to hear! Right now, the Ye Family only has Forge left. We need a large amount of ore and also manpower. Forge needs to recruit a batch of new apprentices, at least over 50 people. This recent upheaval has caused us too much damage!"
"Fifty blacksmith apprentices?" Lei Xiaodie pondered for a moment and said, "Although it's a bit challenging, I can recruit some young people from nearby Pei County and Peng City. You can rest assured about this; I will take care of it!"
"Thank you!"
Ye Yang nodded but suddenly his expression turned serious as he said quietly, "Lei Xiaodie, I'm currently struggling alone in Liang City. If you help the Ye Family get through this crisis, I will repay you with my life!"
Lei Xiaodie smiled lightly. "No need to be so formal, Zi Yu. You are a distinguished guest of the Azure Thunder Merchant Association; I will definitely do my utmost to assist you. Don't worry, I won't give up on such a promising partner!"
"Mm!"
...
At that moment, Ye Beichi rushed in again, holding a red notice in his hand. He angrily threw it onto the table, his beard bristling as he exclaimed, "How shameless! How despicable!"
"What happened, Second Uncle?"
Ye Beichi glanced at Lei Xiaodie.
Ye Yang then said, "Miss Lei is not an outsider, so just speak plainly. What is this invitation about?"
Ye Beichi angrily replied, "That old dog Peng Feng, in order to celebrate his outstanding kin, Peng Cheng and Peng Yue'er, returning victorious from the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, actually ignores the Ye Family blood case and is holding a celebration banquet at the Fire God Altar. All the nobles of Liang City will attend, and even the city lord Pang Jing will be present!"
"What?!"
A strong killing intent flashed in Ye Yang's eyes as he clenched his fists tightly and said, "That scoundrel Pang Jing doesn't care about the Ye Family's blood case but is willing to attend some celebration banquet?"
"Exactly!" Ye Beichi nodded and lowered his voice, saying, "The Battle Axe Radiance has already appeared at the Fire God Altar, heavily guarded by troops from the Peng Family. Peng Feng has declared that he will designate the next leader of the Fire God Clan at the banquet. I'm afraid that despicable old man intends to pass the position to either Peng Yue'er or Peng Cheng!"
As he spoke, Ye Beichi furiously added, "The Battle Axe Radiance originally belonged to the Ye Family. Now it appears with the Peng Family, and one of the culprits behind the Ye Family blood case is indeed the Peng Family. That damned Pang the Old Dog is so despicable, trying to blind everyone's eyes!"
Ye Yang smiled lightly, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes as he said, "Since Peng Feng dares to invite me, if I don't attend the banquet, wouldn't that be a breach of etiquette?"
"What? Zi Yu, you want to go?!" Ye Beichi quickly shook his head. "Absolutely not! You are now the head of the Ye Family; how can you personally take such risks? There’s no good banquet; the Peng Family must have set a trap waiting for us to fall into!"
Beside them, Lei Xiaodie also clenched her delicate fists and said, "Yes, Zi Yu, you absolutely cannot go. That guy Peng Feng always hides a dagger behind a smile. Since he dares to hold a celebration in front of you, he must have some backing. If you rashly attend, it would be far too dangerous!"
Ye Yang chuckled softly and said, "Some backing? Lei Xiaodie, what do you think his backing might be?"
Lei Xiaodie blinked her eyes and suddenly revealed a crucial insight: "Last night in Liang City, an unparalleled expert broke through and caused a shift in celestial bodies. I think that Peng Feng might have broken through!"
Ye Yang nodded: "That's right; I sensed it too. That old dog Peng Feng indeed broke through to the Earth Realm last night. He is now a Starry Sky Level expert!"
"Ye Beichi" exclaimed, "Oh my! A Starry Sky Level... Pang the Old Dog has reached Starry Sky Level. Does that mean the end of the Ye Family is approaching?"
"Second Uncle, don't panic!"
Ye Yang's gaze was sharp as he said, "What does Starry Sky Level matter? Peng Feng relies on his Starry Sky Level and has the Battle Axe Radiance in hand, thinking that this will make me afraid to take a step beyond the line?"
"Zi Yu, what are you planning to do?" Lei Xiaodie looked at Ye Yang in shock, suddenly realizing that Ye Yang's power had undergone a tremendous transformation!
Ye Yang smiled slightly and took out a blue Core from his Cosmic Bag, handing it to Lei Xiaodie. "Lei Xiaodie, this Azure Bull Core is a Ninth-Grade Beast Core, worth about 100,000 taels of silver. This is my token of gratitude to you. The supply and manpower for Ye Family Forge will be handed over to Azure Thunder Merchant Association."
"What?!"
Lei Xiaodie gasped, looking at the Demon Beast Core in her palm. The overwhelming aura emanating from it confirmed that Ye Yang was not lying!
For a moment, Lei Xiaodie regarded Ye Yang with awe. "Zi Yu, did you kill a Ninth-Grade Beast in Azure Cloud Mountain Range?"
Ye Yang nodded and said lightly, "Although I didn't kill it myself, with my current abilities, what's so difficult about killing someone at Earth Level Nine?!"
A smile appeared at the corner of Lei Xiaodie's mouth as she nodded back. "Zi Yu, let's go to the banquet. I'll come uninvited to watch!"
