?58: Chapter 58 Sudden Turbulence 58: Chapter 58 Sudden Turbulence “Like Yama Hell, resembling the Asura Slaughter, the pallid skeletons, headless corpses, and an air thick with a boundlessly intense stench of blood nauseated anyone who smelled it.

    Zhuo Junting was terrified, extremely terrified.

    When she saw the scene before her, her soul felt as if it had left her body and she could hardly believe what she was witnessing.

    Thud—thud—thud.

    Heavy footsteps resounded, and Ye Xuan walked slowly toward her, snapping Zhuo Junting back to reality as she stumbled backward in panic.

    “Ye...

    Mr.

    Ye...

    Do you want to kill me?” Zhuo Junting’s voice shook with fear.

    Looking at Zhuo Junting, overwhelmed with fright, Ye Xuan slowly shook his head, his eyes devoid of any pity.

    “If it hadn’t been for my timely arrival today, would not my mother have died in vain here?” Ye Xuan’s malevolent mood had now calmed down, but his voice remained cold and merciless.

    “Rest easy, I’ll leave you a whole corpse.” Ye Xuan’s fingers aligned, and a Sword Qi formed between them, seeming ready to slay Zhuo Junting the next moment.

    “Xuan...

    Xuan’er...

    don’t kill!”

    Suddenly, before Ye Xuan could act, his mother’s exceedingly weak voice came from behind him, which caused his expression to falter.

    He gave Zhuo Junting a deep look, casually dispelled the Sword Qi, and then went over to his mother’s side.

    “Mom, let’s go home.”

    Bending down to pick up his mother, Ye Xuan disappeared from the Baihua Zhengyan Hall as Zhuo Junting stared in a daze.

    Bohai Hotel was in chaos.

    Countless dining customers scrambled to flee outside, prompted by the intense tremors that shook the entire Bohai Hotel.

    Yet, once they escaped, they found everything as normal as ever, the so-called earthquake appearing nothing more than an illusion.

    Ye Ling’er stood outside the hotel, her face filled with urgency.

    Although she was puzzled by Ye Xuan’s sudden disappearance, she was more concerned about where he had gone.

    Her eldest brother was simply too mysterious.

    “Ling’er, we’re going home.”

    Ye Xuan, holding his mother, unexpectedly appeared beside Ye Ling’er.

    When she saw her unconscious mother with blood at the corner of her mouth, she was too anxious to think about Ye Xuan’s mysteriousness and blurted out, “What happened to mom?”

    “There was a minor complication, but thankfully there’s no danger to her life,” Ye Xuan said solemnly.

    “Brother, let’s hurry to the hospital.”

    “No need, the hospital can’t help with these injuries, I have my ways.”

    After saying this, Ye Xuan hailed a taxi, and the family headed straight home.

    ...

    In the Biyun Pavilion, Ye Xuan’s home.

    Ye Xuan waved his palms in the air, and streaks of bloodlight permeated out, continuously flowing into his mother lying on the bed.

    It wasn’t until her fractured chest bones visibly mended and her breathing became steady that Ye Xuan stopped, and a great weight lifted from his heart.

    Throughout the process, Ye Ling’er watched Ye Xuan administer treatment, the shock evident in her eyes as she found her elder brother even more unfathomable.

    “Brother, who...

    who exactly are you?” Ye Ling’er asked uneasily.

    “Little sister, the world is very vast, and there are many things you cannot understand.

    When the time comes, I will naturally tell you,” Ye Xuan said calmly.

    Hearing Ye Xuan’s response, Ye Ling’er nodded, “Brother, mother will be okay, right?”

    “Multiple fractures in her bones, damage to her internal organs.

    Fortunately, I treated her in time.

    Now there is no danger to her life, but her body is weak.

    Take good care of mother here, I have some things to take care of.”

    After instructing his sister, Ye Xuan stepped out of the house.

    ...

    Jiangnan Suspended Mirror Department!

    Liu Jundie’s elegant eyebrows were tightly knitted as she stared fixedly at Ye Xuan, a trace of humiliation crossing her eyes.

    “Don’t think just because you have the backing of the Wu’an Office, you can do whatever you want.

    Besides, I am not your subordinate.

    What right do you have to order me around?” Liu Jundie said angrily.

    Ye Xuan looked calmly at Liu Jundie.

    Tapping the desk lightly with his fingers, he said, “I don’t want to exchange too much nonsense with you.

    I am now commanding you in my capacity as a Guest Elder of the Wu’an Office, no matter what methods you use, you must gather all information about the Taian Leng Family for me.”

    “That’s impossible!” Liu Jundie slammed her hand on the desk, standing up abruptly.

    Ye Xuan slowly rose, a trace of a cruel cold smile etching at the corner of his mouth before he walked out of the office.

    Yet, his icy voice echoed in Liu Jundie’s ears.

    “You can try and see what happens if you don’t obey my command.”

    Watching Ye Xuan disappear, Liu Jundie’s eyes reddened, her eyes filling with mist, all because Ye Xuan was truly too overbearing.

    Crack!

    The glass on the office desk was smashed to pieces by Liu Jundie in a fit of embarrassed anger, as she shouted, “You despicable bastard.”

    After venting her anger, Liu Jundie also completely calmed down.

    She knew Ye Xuan was cold and ruthless, capable of anything.

    Liu Jundie picked up the phone and dialed directly.

    Before long, Azure Dragon’s voice came through from the other end.

    “Hello, what is it?”

    Liu Jundie quickly recounted what had happened at Bohai Hotel, and also shared the order from Ye Xuan to investigate the Leng Family, which left Azure Dragon silent for a long time on the other end of the line.

    “The Leng Family is an Ancient Martial Arts family; this matter is of great significance.

    Don’t act rashly for the time being; I’ll communicate with Mr.

    Ye first.” Azure Dragon’s voice was grave.

    The call was then disconnected.

    ...

    At the same time, at the Zhuo Family.

    The old master of the Zhuo Family had a stern look on his face, fear evident in his eyes, while Zhuo Junting stood before him with her head bowed as if she had made a grave mistake.

    “Junting, I’ve watched you grow up from a young age and always had high expectations of you.

    Yet, this time, you’ve truly disappointed me,” scolded the old master coldly.

    “Grandfather, I...”

    “Shut up!”

    The old master paced back and forth in the living room before suddenly turning to Zhuo Junting and saying, “I’ve told you before that this Mr.

    Ye is extraordinary.

    Furthermore, he has only his mother and sister at home, and yet you fail to recognize even his mother.

    How can I confidently entrust the Zhuo Family to you with such mistakes?”

    “Grandfather, I was wrong.

    But now that it has happened, what should we do?” Zhuo Junting’s face was pale as she spoke.

    “What should we do?”

    The old master’s face darkened, a look of struggle flashing across his eyes, clearly making a difficult decision.

    The fact that Leng Qingxue had come to Jiangnan City was actually because the old master had paid a hefty price to the Leng Family, all to uncover the truth of being haunted by evil spirits.

    Originally, the old master had intended to visit Ye Xuan personally, both to build a closer relationship and to seek Ye Xuan’s help in finding the true culprits behind his troubles.

    However, Ye Xuan was elusive, often not at home, and he had no chance to visit, thus the incident of Leng Qingxue coming to Jiangnan had happened.

    But now, with Leng Qingxue dead in Jiangnan, the Zhuo Family, as the inviting party, had an undeniable responsibility.

    Once the Leng Family learned of this, they would certainly take action against the Zhuo Family, an outcome the Zhuo Family could not bear.

    Now, the old master only had two choices.

    One was to quickly inform the Leng Family of the matter, pinning all responsibility on Ye Xuan, to preserve the Zhuo Family.

    The other was to completely offend the Leng Family, standing firmly with Ye Xuan, making amends for Zhuo Junting’s missteps, and thus easing the relationship between the Zhuo Family and Ye Xuan.

    It was a choice that concerned the life and death of the family; how could it not trouble the old master?

    “Father, we cannot afford to offend the Leng Family; in my opinion, we should quickly inform the Leng Family of this matter,” proposed Zhuo Wenbin.

    “No, that’s not right.

    Mr.

    Ye has been a lifesaver to our father; wouldn’t it be too unrighteous to do such a thing?” Zhuo Wenshan argued.

    “Big brother, we can’t afford to offend the Leng Family.

    Do you want to see our Zhuo Family destroyed?” Zhuo Wenbin retorted coldly.

    “Enough!

    The old man isn’t dead yet.

    What are you bickering about?”

    The old master scolded his two sons, then spoke in a low voice, “Tonight I will personally visit Mr.

    Ye.

    As for how to make the decision, we’ll discuss it after I return.”
