Chapter 34 Back Then, Grudges

Ye Chengtai , who was already filled with killing intent, was slightly stunned by the young man\'s words or the confidence in his tone.

He also slowly stood up and looked into the darkness at the youth\'s pitch-black eyes. His hands gradually clenched into fists, and surging energy poured out like a flood.

" Marquis wants to kill me?" Xu Han narrowed his eyes. The black cat on his shoulder was lazily curled up, as if he had not sensed the killing intent pervading the hall at all.

"Husband." The woman behind her called out. After all, she was also from a wealthy family. She had followed Ye Chengtai and Guan Hai all these years, but she still had some experience in the world. At this time, the lights in the hall were extinguished. It wasn\'t difficult for her to guess that her husband was already tempted to kill her. She naturally didn\'t know where his killing intent came from, but she still felt that it was inappropriate.

However, Ye Chengtai did not respond to the woman\'s call.

In the darkness, he narrowed his eyes, as if his gaze could see the youth\'s appearance through the layers of night.

He didn\'t feel any aura from this youth. In other words, this youth\'s cultivation was only at the Treasure Aquarius Realm. At such a young age, his cultivation was already not ordinary or ordinary. It should be able to be described as a complete mess.

However, according to the Headmaster\'s letter, Ye Chengtai would not be able to make him suppress the entire Ye Clan on such a young man.

If it had been a few years ago, he would have lost his position and risked his life. But now that his daughter was valued by the Linglong Pavilion, she could soar into the sky. Although Ye Chengtai was not a powerful person, he did not want to drag his daughter down because of him, and even bring disaster to the Ye Clan.

Over the years, he had already suffered a lot from the Shepherd King\'s plot to rebel, and this had finally improved. He was unwilling to take any more risks.

"Teacher and I are grateful. I, Ye Chengtai, am not a hero, but I do not want to be the one to repay you for your kindness. If you leave now, I will pretend that I have never seen you, nor have I seen this letter." Ye Chengtai said in a deep voice, with a threatening tone.

"What if I don\'t leave?" Xu Han smiled and asked with a calm expression. He did not show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction or fear because of Ye Chengtai \'s aggressive attitude.

At that time, anger finally climbed up to the top of Ye Chengtai \'s eyebrows.

"Do you really think I don\'t dare to kill you?" As he spoke, one of his hands suddenly turned into a claw and was about to attack Xu Han\'s face.

His speed was extremely fast. As a Nether Opening Realm cultivator, his strength was pushed to the limit. Before the woman at the side could even regain her senses, Ye Chengtai \'s sharp claws had already arrived in front of Xu Han.

Facing Ye Chengtai \'s murderous intent, Xu Han was still standing there with a smile on his face. He didn\'t move at all, as if he hadn\'t reacted yet.

Seeing that the sharp claws had reached the noodle door, Xu Han\'s face was about to be torn apart in the next moment.

"Father!" Suddenly, a tender cry came from outside the room.

Ye Chengtai \'s body trembled. He suddenly retracted his sharp claws from Xu Han\'s face and retreated into the distance. Then, he waved his hand and the extinguished candle in the hall lit up again, illuminating the Marquis\' Mansion of Ning Country with golden light.

Squeak.

With a hoarse sound, the door of the hall was pushed open from the outside, and a figure wearing a light red dress walked into the room.

"Father, why did you put out the candle at night?" The figure asked.

Ye Chengtai , who was still filled with killing intent, immediately smiled when he faced the figure\'s questioning. He hurriedly said.

"The night wind blew heavily. I accidentally blew out the candle."

"Is that so?" The figure frowned. Obviously, she was a little suspicious of Ye Chengtai \'s words. She turned around and looked at the situation in the room. However, her mother\'s face was a little pale, and a youth with a strange appearance squatting on her shoulder was standing beside her.

"Who is this?" She carefully recalled it and confirmed that she had never seen this youth before, so she asked.

At that time, Xu Han also looked at that figure.

It was a young girl with a ponytail. Wu Si hung down at her waist, revealing her forehead as smooth as jade. Her eyes under her eyebrows seemed to contain autumn water. Her lips were so red that they had bright teeth. Against the background of a pink dress, she looked extremely extraordinary. She was a picturesque beauty.

This must be the daughter of Ye Chengtai , the closed disciple of the Linglong Pavilion Elder, Ye Hongjian .

Hearing this, Ye Chengtai pointed at Xu Han, wanting to find some words, but after all, he was still facing the sword a moment ago, so it was still a bit difficult for Ye Chengtai to say something.

"I, Xu Han, greet Miss." Xu Han smiled, as if he had long forgotten about the fight just now. He cupped his hands and said to Ye Hongjian , his attitude respectful, but not humble and arrogant. "I am Marquis \' new bodyguard. I will be responsible for escorting Miss to Linglong Pavilion."

"You!?" Ye Chengtai was already hostile to Xu Han\'s sudden appearance. Seeing him speaking nonsense in front of his daughter, he was infuriated and wanted to say something.

"Guards?" Hearing this, Ye Hongjian tilted her head to look at her father. Ye Chengtai sensed that her daughter\'s gaze had to suppress the anger in her heart.

As a father, he didn\'t want his daughter to get involved in the muddy waters of Great Zhou.

This was his instinct and, of course, his responsibility.

"That\'s right, but Young Master Xu is just a candidate. Just who should be tested again?" Ye Chengtai said in a deep voice.

According to the letter, the youth in front of him was the disciple of the Headmaster of the Tiance Prefecture . The Headmaster left this letter to ask Ye Chengtai to think of a way to send him to the Exquisite Pavilion.

Ye Hongjian was a closed door disciple appointed by the elders of the Exquisite Pavilion. Although it was not easy to bring one or two people into the Exquisite Pavilion, it was not difficult to calculate.

But behind this…

Back then, His Majesty had ordered Zhu Xian , the head of the Long Night Division, to annihilate the entire Mu Wang Manor in the name of plotting against them, leaving only that ignorant little heir unaccounted for. Outsiders looked like the Emperor was afraid of the 200,000 Mu Clan troops that the Mu Clan had in Jizhou Sword Dragon Pass, but Ye Chengtai was very clear. What the Emperor truly feared was the deeply rooted Tiance Prefecture that had assisted the Great Zhou Monarchs.

After annihilating the Mu Palace, he chopped off an arm of the Heavenly Policy Palace.

Ever since then, the Tiance Prefecture had been suppressed by the Longevity Division that His Majesty had intentionally supported. Now, it was in name only, and the Headmaster\'s whereabouts were unknown a year ago.

Not to mention whether the Headmaster was alive or dead, but with the Headmaster\'s temperament, since he had sent his disciple to Chang\'an at this time, there must be some sort of plan behind it. It might even be the beginning of Tiance Prefecture\'s counterattack on the entire Longevity Division.

Ye Chengtai asked himself that he couldn\'t be a loyal villain, but he didn\'t want to be a righteous warrior.

He had no intention of participating in the battle between the two monsters, only wishing to ensure the safety of his family. The Headmaster\'s letter was obviously intended to pull him onto the war chariot of the Tiance Prefecture , so Ye Chengtai was naturally unwilling.

He wanted to hide it from his daughter before taking care of Xu Han.

Although he would not kill him as he had said before, he had to at least drive him away.

"Huh?" When Ye Chengtai said those words, Xu Han raised his eyebrows. He turned to look at Ye Chengtai with a puzzled expression and asked, "Didn\'t Marquis agree to this just now? Or did it say that the letter was not clear enough, so he still needed to show it to Miss?"

Xu Han\'s seemingly inadvertent words caused Ye Chengtai \'s heart to skip a beat, and his expression instantly turned ugly.

When Ye Hongjian was young, she had been sent to the Tiance Prefecture and taught by the Headmaster. She was very close to the Headmaster. If she knew that Xu Han was sent by the Headmaster, she would definitely not refuse. At that time, Ye Chengtai would find it difficult to shirk her responsibility.

"Letter? What letter?"

Sure enough, as Ye Chengtai had expected, Xu Han\'s words aroused Ye Hongjian \'s curiosity. She turned around and looked at her father doubtfully and asked. She was not a fool. The seemingly harmonious atmosphere in the hall was strange. She had sensed it since she entered the hall, but she couldn\'t think through it thoroughly. Now that she heard Xu Han\'s words, she naturally felt even more suspicious.

Ye Chengtai was a little flustered when he faced Ye Hongjian \'s question. He looked sideways at Xu Han and saw a trace of mockery in his eyes. He knew that at this moment, he was in a difficult situation to ride a tiger. "Ah … yes … it was a letter of recommendation from an old friend …" "I\'m just afraid that you won\'t be satisfied with Red Note, so I haven\'t agreed yet."

"Is that so?" Ye Hongjian looked at Xu Han doubtfully. She only felt that this youth was a little strange, but she could not find anything wrong with him. Since he was recommended by her father\'s old friend, she no longer cared about him. She casually said, "Then it\'s him."

Hearing this, Ye Chengtai \'s expression became even uglier. He was just about to say something when Xu Han cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Thank you young miss."

"Oh." Ye Hongjian nodded and withdrew her gaze.

"I\'ve been strolling around with the princess and sister for a long time today. I\'m a little tired. My daughter will return to her room to rest now." After saying this, she bowed to her parents and left.

At this time, only Xu Han and Ye Chengtai were left in the hall.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became gloomy and cold. The intense killing intent in Ye Chengtai \'s eyes as he looked at Xu Han surfaced, almost condensing into substance in the air and surging towards Xu Han.

The woman at the side also looked at her husband worriedly, still a little confused.

"Brat, do you really think that I, Ye Chengtai , am easy to bully?" His words were extremely heavy, as if they came out from between his teeth. Obviously, this Marquis of Ning Country had already fallen into the brink of fury.

" Marquis still wants to kill me?" However, Xu Han still maintained his usual attitude, neither angry nor happy, neither humble nor arrogant.

This calm attitude undoubtedly caused the anger in Ye Chengtai \'s heart to burn even more.

Just as he was about to lose control of himself and wanted to attack again.

"Does Marquis really think that Miss\'s trip will be smooth sailing?" At that moment, Xu Han\'s voice sounded again.

"Will Zhu Xian really let Miss go to the Exquisite Pavilion and wait for her to return from her studies one day to help Madam clear up her injustice?"

At that moment, Xu Han\'s eyes narrowed. His gaze crossed the murderous Ye Chengtai in front of him and looked at the woman behind him.
