?19: Chapter 19 Invitation Card 19: Chapter 19 Invitation Card Upon hearing that her parents were going to be called, Li Yuanyuan’s face immediately turned bitter.

    She went directly to Yun Mengyao’s side, constantly shaking her arm and cooing, “Ms.

    Yun, please don’t, it’s not a big deal.

    I can just compensate him with more money, you know my parents aren’t in Jiangnan.”

    Looking at the young girl’s pleading face, Yun Mengyao saw a reflection of her younger self, a feeling of pity arose in her heart.

    This made her turn around and give Ye Xuan an apologetic look, saying, “I’m really sorry on her behalf, my student.

    Can we just let this go?”

    “Ms.

    Yun is the best, I have to leave now for something else.”

    Li Yuanyuan laughed merrily and turned to leave, but before she had taken a few steps, Ye Xuan’s cold voice rang out at that moment.

    “Rude and unruly, lawless, did I say you could leave?”

    Suddenly, Yun Mengyao felt a blur before her eyes as Ye Xuan appeared in front of Li Yuanyuan, and what happened next seemed like a dream to her.

    Slap!

    A crisp sound rang out, and five red finger marks appeared on Li Yuanyuan’s face.

    She stood completely stunned on the spot until after a few moments, the pain on her face gradually awakened her.

    She touched her cheek in disbelief and her eyes, filled with immense shame and anger, turned towards Ye Xuan.

    “How dare you hit me?

    You actually dared to hit me?”

    “My parents have never even touched a finger on me, how dare you hit me?” Li Yuanyuan shouted in humiliation and disbelief, completely unable to believe that she had been slapped by him.

    The girl’s indignant voice also snapped Yun Mengyao out of her shock, and she quickly stepped forward to the girl’s side, looking at Ye Xuan with a very displeased expression, “This student, although she almost bumped into you, how can you hit a girl?”

    Unfortunately, Ye Xuan completely ignored Yun Mengyao’s questioning and walked towards Li Yuanyuan, saying, “The slap just now was your punishment for almost running into me.”

    Slap!

    Another loud slap sounded.

    Although Li Yuanyuan desperately wanted to dodge, for some reason, her body did not move at all, and she could only watch as Ye Xuan’s palm landed on her cheek.

    “This slap is to educate you on behalf of your parents and rid you of your unruly character from now on.”

    Slap!

    Yet another slap sounded, Li Yuanyuan’s face was already swollen, and she was completely dazed.

    “This slap is to remind you that everyone must be responsible for their actions, even if you come from a family of privilege, there are no exceptions.”

    After two consecutive slaps, Ye Xuan glanced indifferently at the girl, then he turned and walked toward the school gate.

    As for the stunned Yun Mengyao, she did not catch his attention at all.

    Only when Ye Xuan’s figure had gradually receded did Yun Mengyao quickly come back to her senses, her eyes complex as she looked at Ye Xuan’s retreating back.

    Yun Mengyao had lived for twenty-one years and had never seen such a violent man.

    Even though Li Yuanyuan was admittedly spoiled, she was still a young girl.

    He could actually be so ruthless, and this refreshed Yun Mengyao’s worldview.

    While Yun Mengyao inwardly resented Ye Xuan’s brutality, when she calmed down and thought about it carefully, the fact that he had slapped Li Yuanyuan three times seemed oddly justifiable.

    This strange feeling made her also keep the image of Ye Xuan firmly ingrained in her mind.

    Walking on the bustling street, Ye Xuan’s face was calm, giving the girl three slaps did not make him feel the slightest guilt.

    Not to mention that she was a young girl, even if she were a beauty like Yun Mengyao, Ye Xuan would definitely not be lenient.

    This was just an episode, Ye Xuan did not take it to heart.

    Holding the admission notice from Tianlan Academy, Ye Xuan leisurely walked home.

    In front of the Ye Family house.

    A luxurious vehicle stopped in front of the door, with several men in black standing on either side; when Ye Xuan saw this scene, his eyes gradually narrowed, and then he walked leisurely toward his home.

    “Brother.”

    As soon as Ye Xuan had entered the house, he saw Ye Ling’er’s pale face, hastily approaching him; behind her, a young man with a cold demeanor was silently watching Ye Xuan.

    “Ling’er, go back to your room,” Ye Xuan said calmly.

    “Brother, he is from the Beichuan Gang...”

    Ye Ling’er anxiously spoke out, but before she could finish, Ye Xuan interrupted her, saying, “Go.”

    As Ye Xuan’s voice fell, worry filled Ye Ling’er’s eyes, yet she still obeyed Ye Xuan’s words and returned to her room.

    “Are you Mr.

    Ye?”

    The young man walked leisurely toward Ye Xuan, took out a golden invitation, and handed it to him, saying, “Our gang leader has long admired Mr.

    Ye’s reputation and invites you to a gathering at the Moon Viewing Tower in three days.”

    Taking the golden invitation, Ye Xuan did not look at it, tossing it casually onto the table; this led the young man to mistakenly think that Ye Xuan dared not accept the invitation, a cold smile appearing on his face, “I hope Mr.

    Ye will grace us with his presence, otherwise Dr.

    Xia Qiu... haha!”

    After saying this, the young man did not linger and turned to leave the Ye Family, disappearing from Ye Xuan’s sight; from beginning to end, Ye Xuan said nothing.

    Thump—thump—thump!

    Ye Xuan tapped his fingers on the desk, his expression eerily calm; yet, each time his eyes opened and closed, a fleeting trace of blood red could be seen, until he sat for a long while, not touching the golden invitation on the table.

    The Beichuan Gang had clearly investigated him thoroughly, even imprisoning Xia Qiu to threaten him; clearly, they must also know that he was responsible for the deaths of the Li siblings.

    However, the so-called Beichuan Gang wasn’t regarded by Ye Xuan; what he truly was wary of was the massive entity of Xia Country.

    Ye Xuan was not a rash man and possessed formidable cultivation; having lived in the Ye Family in the Capital City before he was five, he was aware of many secrets that ordinary people did not know.

    This world contained Ancient Martial Artists and Superpower Users, and Xia Country, this massive entity, had several mysterious departments to control these Ancient Martial Artists and Superpower Users.

    Ye Xuan knew well that if the Beichuan Gang could find him, the mysterious departments of Xia Country were definitely no idle organizations, likely having noticed his existence long ago.

    If it were just himself, Ye Xuan wouldn’t have considered them a threat, but with his mother and sister at home, should he truly confront these mysterious departments, it could potentially involve his family.

    After all, they represented Xia Country; if he truly stood in opposition, that was not something Ye Xuan wanted to see.

    With this thought, Ye Xuan shook his head helplessly; perhaps this was the “suffering of immense Red Dust” spoken of by phantom shadows, also the reason why he was strongly advised not to return to the Human World.

    Dismissing these thoughts, Ye Xuan gave a carefree smile, his eyes showing no trace of worry; though he did not want to encounter these mysterious departments, it did not mean he, Ye Xuan, was afraid of them.

    As a being who transcended mere mortals, if they knew their place, all would be well.

    However, should they insist on being antagonistic, then, unavoidably, Ye Xuan would have to transform into the Undying Venerable and let some understand what true terror meant.

    Transcending mortals without the Six Desires, holding the power over life and death, known as the Undying Venerable—if not for the concern over the affairs and people in the Mortal World, Ye Xuan would have long stepped into the Earth Immortal Realm to pursue what he truly desired deep in his heart.

    “Brother, you cannot go.”

    Suddenly, Ye Ling’er emerged from her room; evidently, she had heard every word of the young man, which led her to vigorously counsel Ye Xuan.

    “This is my concern; you needn’t worry about it.

    Also, don’t tell mother about it, so she won’t worry.

    This is the admission notice from Tianlan Academy; you will go to school and report tomorrow.” Ye Xuan handed the admission notice to Ye Ling’er, then turned back to his room.
