Through Ye Huan's past memories, he had to admit that the most mysterious figure in the Ye Family was Ye Luo. Of course, this mystery did not stem from Ye Luo's strength, but rather from the attitude of everyone in the Ye Family towards him—a deep-seated respect that often left Ye Huan puzzled.
This time, when he saw Seventh Level Warrior Lin Xiao being kicked away by Ye Luo, Ye Huan finally understood where the issue lay and where that heartfelt respect came from. It turned out that this steward of the Ye Family was indeed a master among masters.
However, why was Ye Luo here? Amidst his surprise, a question inevitably arose in Ye Huan's mind.
Meanwhile, in the distance, Lin Xiao, who had been kicked away by Ye Luo, got back on his feet. He suddenly found a three-foot-long sword in his hand, which he held horizontally across his chest. Gritting his teeth, he glared at Ye Luo and shouted angrily, "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am; what matters is that I want to take him away..."
Seemingly oblivious to the fury in Lin Xiao's eyes, Ye Luo pointed at Ye Huan with a calm demeanor, completely disregarding the countless soldiers around them who were poised to charge at Lin Xiao's command.
Carefree, at ease, and dismissive—these words perfectly described Ye Luo. Yet just a few seconds ago, they had all belonged to Lin Xiao! Thinking of this made Lin Xiao feel a surge of anger. Coupled with the footprint on his chest, he looked particularly disheveled as he spat out, "You think you can leave? You should ask my sword and these soldiers if they agree!"
With that, Lin Xiao gripped the hilt of his sword tightly. A blinding white light erupted from it, enveloping the sword and transforming it into a massive weapon about four feet long and one foot wide.
Wielding this giant sword, Lin Xiao's aura surged as he became like a shooting star rushing towards Ye Luo. This scene startled Ye Huan, who exclaimed, "Ye Luo, be careful!"
As if ignoring the immense spiritual energy concentrated in that giant sword, upon hearing Ye Huan's shout, Ye Luo glanced back at him with a smile...
In the next moment, there was no bloodshed or earth-shattering battle as one might expect. Instead, Ye Luo merely swayed and appeared directly in front of Ye Huan. With a gentle lift of his hand, he picked him up and pushed off the ground, soaring over six meters into the air. With several effortless leaps, Ye Luo took Ye Huan and vanished from Lin Xiao's sight.
Fixating on the direction in which Ye Luo had departed, Lin Xiao wanted to pursue them further. However, when he recalled how easily he had been kicked away earlier, he halted his steps. Clenching his teeth around the hilt of the giant sword until it creaked under pressure, he finally managed to utter a command: "Retreat!"
"General, are we just going to let them leave like this?"
Beside him, after receiving Lin Xiao's command, a man who looked like he belonged to the military quickly approached Lin Xiao, suggesting that he was one of Lin Xiao's trusted subordinates.
Shaking his head helplessly, Lin Xiao wanted to stop him, but could he? Even with these soldiers, facing a martial artist stronger than himself, he didn't believe he could hold the opponent back. He could only wave his hand at his subordinate, signaling that it was okay to leave.
Once his subordinates had left the slums one by one, Lin Xiao couldn't help but glance in the direction where Ye Luo and Ye Huan had departed. He had a nagging feeling that if he couldn't capture Ye Huan today, he might never have another chance…
……
Outside Liangzhou City, on a small hill, the little princess and Weiyang sat there blankly, their gazes fixed on Liangzhou City. The atmosphere felt incredibly oppressive.
"Weiyang, do you think Ye Butler can rescue Ye Huan?" Perhaps tired from sitting too long, the little princess slowly stood up and quietly asked Weiyang.
To be honest, Weiyang wasn't a member of the Ye Family; how could he know what kind of strength Ye Luo possessed? However, wanting to comfort the little princess, he could only muster the courage to say, "Little princess, don't worry. We've faced numerous dangers on our journey and made it through. Ye Huan will be fine."
Is that so? Staring into the distance, the little princess felt an overwhelming urge to search for Ye Huan. Even she couldn't explain where this impulse came from.
Just as everyone was anxiously waiting, a shadow appeared in the distance, rushing towards them at high speed. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that someone was being carried in that person's hands.
"Ye Huan?!" Recognizing that it was Ye Luo approaching them, Weiyang hurriedly stood up and shouted.
Indeed, it was Ye Huan. He was being unceremoniously carried by Ye Luo as they rushed toward this direction, his face filled with frustration. Being carried like this at his age—was it comfortable? Unfortunately, Ye Luo was the butler of the Ye Family; his status was different from ordinary people. In such a desperate situation, Ye Huan didn't dare to utter a word.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Luo brought Ye Huan before everyone and set him down on the ground. He then awkwardly said, "Young Master, I apologize for putting you in such a situation earlier..."
"I understand." Interrupting Ye Luo's words, Ye Huan straightened his clothes and continued with a face full of questions: "Ye Butler, how did you end up here?"
"It was the master who sent me. I heard that the little princess was captured, and he is quite concerned about your safety, which is why I came to see you."
As an outstanding butler, Ye Luo maintained a polite demeanor at all times. Even when responding to Ye Huan, he stood straight.
"Oh, so that's how it is. I didn't realize my dad actually cares about me..." Upon hearing that Ye Tian had sent Ye Luo, Ye Huan felt warmth spread through her heart. She then turned to the little princess and approached her, asking, "Zhao Ziyu, are you alright?"
With Al and others present, Ye Huan felt no hesitation in calling out the little princess's name. However, to everyone's surprise, upon hearing Ye Huan's words, Zhao Ziyu suddenly leaped into Ye Huan's arms, tears streaming down her delicate face like pearls that had broken free from their string.
While crying, the little princess whimpered, "You finally came back! I thought I would never see you again..."
Around them, Weiyang and Zhang Ren gaped in disbelief at the scene. Even Al, who already knew Zhao Ziyu's identity, widened his eyes in shock. After all, she was the little princess, renowned for her beauty in Huaxia Nation. How could she just throw herself into Ye Huan's embrace?
Feelings can be quite mysterious; after being rescued by Ye Huan multiple times, the little princess had developed feelings for him—something even Ye Huan hadn't anticipated, let alone anyone else.
However...
Was it truly a good thing to be noticed by a feisty little princess? It seemed that Zhao Ziyu realized her own loss of composure. After a brief moment of emotional outburst, she quickly pushed Ye Huan away, her face flushed with embarrassment.
A Third-Rank Warrior pushing someone—such strength...
With a thud, it was no surprise that Ye Huan stumbled back several steps and ended up sitting on the ground. To make matters worse, there happened to be a stone right beneath him, causing him to jump up in pain and rub his backside in frustration. He couldn't understand what had gotten into the little princess; she seemed completely out of her mind.
In the distance, Ye Luo observed this scene with a thoughtful expression.
Having finally gathered together and escaped from Liangzhou City was certainly something worth celebrating. The group naturally drew closer together, excitedly discussing their experiences and even debating their next steps.
Upon mentioning "the future," everyone fell silent. The little princess was to return to the Royal Capital, and Ye Huan and his companions found themselves at a loss, unsure of their next steps.
"Young Master, what do you think caused your defeat against the lord of Liangzhou City?" At some point, Ye Luo had approached Ye Huan and his friends, inquiring with curiosity.
Although Ye Huan was puzzled by Ye Luo's question, he answered without hesitation, "Of course, it was strength."
"Is it really strength?" Ye Luo replied with a smile, questioning him further.
'If not strength, then what else could it be? A Seventh Level Warrior versus a second-tier Summoner—the difference is clear as day,' Ye Huan thought to himself. He felt he hadn’t said anything wrong, but seeing Ye Luo's ever-present smile made it difficult for him to voice his thoughts. Instead, he reflected on his battle with Lin Xiao.
In terms of attack power, Ye Huan was certainly not inferior to Lin Xiao; the singular attack methods of a martial artist could not compare to Ye Huan's firearms. As for speed, Ye Huan acknowledged that he was indeed slower than Lin Xiao, but when factoring in his auxiliary equipment, the outcome could be quite different. Regarding endurance in battle, Ye Huan was confident; with the Summoning Book containing the 2012 Arms Compendium, he believed he was stronger than Lin Xiao.
After considering all this, Ye Huan was astonished to realize that aside from the countless soldiers who left him no room to escape and Lin Xiao's ever-replenishing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, he had no real disadvantage against his opponent...
"Surprised, aren't you? Young Master, if you want to know the answer, then follow me!" Noticing the deep confusion on Ye Huan's face, Ye Luo smiled even brighter and turned to walk toward a nearby higher mound.
Seeing this, Ye Huan hurriedly followed. They soon arrived at the slightly elevated mound where they could see the towering walls of Liangzhou City in the distance.
Pointing towards Liangzhou from their vantage point and with the little princess and others not following them, Ye Luo spoke without hesitation: "Young Master, look over there. That is a city; in essence, it is a whole entity. Within this city, all power and wealth are concentrated in the hands of its lord. In other words, your defeat against the lord of Liangzhou City can be seen as a loss in terms of power and money!"
"Money... and power?"
