TL: Moonlit
Shen Ye knew about Ye Ze’s issue, and not only was Ye Ze concerned about it, but also Old Grandpa Ye and the Ye family in Haicheng were paying close attention.
The Ye family has always been harmonious. If Grandpa Ye’s younger brother took the initiative to seek out the old Taoist priest and have him deal with Grandpa Ye’s family, it would indicate that he originally intended to compete with Grandpa Ye for control of the Ye family.
If that were the case… Grandpa Ye and the others might not be able to accept it.
Shen Ye glanced at the faces of the two Taoist priests and already knew the answer.
He sighed inwardly, hesitated for a few seconds, and then placed a truth-telling talisman on the tall Taoist priest.
Immediately, the tall Taoist priest said, “It was Ye Xiangtang who came to us on his own.”
Ye Xiangtang is Grandpa Ye’s younger brother.
Shen Ye was afraid that Ye Ze would be angered, so he quickly grabbed Ye Ze’s hand and said, “Keep listening, there’s actually a reason…”
Ye Ze lowered his gaze and quietly looked at him.
The man’s eyes were calm and unaffected, not showing any signs of anger.
Only then did Shen Ye feel relieved. He shook the man’s arm and said, “Let’s listen to the whole story.”
Ye Ze touched his face and nodded gently.
“But in fact, Ye Xiangtang was also manipulated by Mingxin Daoist,” the tall Taoist said. “Mingxin Daoist has always had secret dealings with Ye Xiangtang’s in-laws. His in-laws have fallen on hard times and need the support of the Ye family. But since the Ye family is not in Ye Xiangtang’s hands, they couldn’t take advantage of it, so they thought of inciting Ye Xiangtang to seize power.”
Shen Ye whispered to Ye Ze, “Is Ye Xiangtang’s in-laws the Wang family?”
Ye Ze nodded.
Shen Ye had a look of confirmation on his face.
He knew about the Wang family because someone quietly discussed the Wang family at the banquet yesterday, saying that the Wang family had been unlucky and completely destroyed by Ye Ze. He also heard those people saying that Ye Ze was ruthless… As a devoted husband, he naturally retorted without hesitation.
But as a result, he remembered the Wang family.
He guessed that the Wang family must have harmed Ye Ze’s parents and uncle and aunt; otherwise, his husband wouldn’t have bothered to deal with such insignificant people.
Now, according to the tall Taoist’s words, his guess was completely correct. The Wang family was indeed the mastermind.
The Wang family had been inciting Ye Xiangtang to seize the assets of the Ye family. Ye Xiangtang had been nagged by his wife for a long time, and combined with the Taoist priest’s manipulation, he decided to seek out the old Taoist and set up a scheme to kill Grandpa Ye’s two sons and daughters-in-law.
They had originally planned to kill Grandpa Ye and Ye Tangdi as well, but Grandpa Ye discovered their intentions and was also deterred by Ye Ze’s purple aura, so they didn’t have time to take action.
Suddenly, Shen Ye thought of a question. Why didn’t the old Taoist directly approach Ye Xiangtang and instead used the Wang family to influence him?
He asked directly.
The tall Taoist replied, “Master said that the Ye family has dragon aura, and if they were to confront directly, they would incur an inescapable karmic debt. By then, he definitely wouldn’t be able to escape. He could only use a roundabout plan, getting the Wang family and Ye Xiangtang to deal with the Ye family.”
Shen Ye immediately became serious, and his eyebrows furrowed tightly.
He wasn’t surprised by this reason, but… why did the old Taoist want to harm the Ye family?
Was it for their wealth?
But the old Taoist clearly had abundant wealth and numerous magical treasures.
…Moreover, what would a cultivator need so much wealth for?
Shen Ye suddenly widened his eyes and looked straight at the man beside him.
The tall Taoist just revealed a bit of information. According to the old Taoist’s plan, after killing Ye Ze’s parents and uncle and aunt, the next targets would be Grandpa Ye and Ye Tangdi…
In that case, wouldn’t Ye Ze be the last one left?!
So, the old Taoist was targeting Ye Ze?
Going further in his speculation, could the old Taoist also see the purple aura on Ye Ze and want to seize his fortune?!
Shen Ye was shocked by his own thoughts and remained silent for a while.
It was Ye Ze who noticed something was wrong with him and wrapped his fingers around Shen Ye’s hand, asking softly, “What’s wrong?”
Shen Ye snapped back to reality, shook his head, and for a moment, didn’t know how to explain.
If his guess is correct, then… would Ye Ze blame himself excessively, thinking that he brought about the deaths of his parents and his uncle and aunt?
Thinking of this possibility, Shen Ye didn’t dare to tell Ye Ze about his speculation.
Shen Ye was well aware that this matter had nothing to do with Ye Ze. It was the old Taoist’s plan to kill and seize fortune.
If there was any mistake, it would be one hundred percent the old Taoist’s fault.
But he was afraid that Ye Ze would overthink…
Shen Ye clenched his fists tightly, already imagining tearing the old Taoist into countless pieces in his mind.
That old Taoist was nothing more than an animal and an evil ghost. Shen Ye wished he could pull out the old Taoist’s tendons and skin, torment his soul day and night, and make him beg for life without being able to find death.
Ye Ze sensed Shen Ye’s anger and pulled him in front of him, looking down at him and asking softly, “What happened?”
Shen Ye took a deep breath, expelled the impure qi and anger from his heart, and then held the man’s hand tightly, saying, “Uncle, when we go back later, I will try to calculate the situation of our parents and uncle and aunt.”
Although it had been ten years, Ye Ze’s parents, uncle, and aunt had probably already reincarnated.
But no matter what, he needed to know if they were doing well. Even if they had reincarnated, he wanted to confirm if they had entered a good family.
If his parents and uncle and aunt weren’t doing well, he would use his abilities to change their fate!
Even if it went against the heavens, he would do it!
Ye Ze hesitated for a moment, looked at him for a few seconds, and pondered, “Can you really calculate their situation?”
Shen Ye hesitated, “…I should be able to.”
He didn’t dare to make any guarantees.
Before he transmigrated into this body, his soul had visited the underworld of this world, and it wasn’t terrifying. Unfortunately, he hadn’t met the original owner, otherwise, he could have asked if there were any regrets and he could have helped.
But after his rebirth, he couldn’t perceive the existence of the underworld anymore. Perhaps there were limitations in this world.
But no matter what, he had to give it a try.
Only by confirming that their parents and uncle and aunt were doing well, could the guilt in the man’s heart be alleviated when he learned the truth.
Shen Ye secretly made up his mind and decided to try it tonight.
In truth, Ye Ze didn’t have much hope. He knew that it would be difficult to find his parents and uncle and aunt after such a long time since their passing. How could it be so easy?
But he was touched by the fact that Shen Ye was willing to make an effort for him.
“Baby, thank you,” Ye Ze held Shen Ye’s hand tightly and spoke softly.
Suddenly being called “baby” by the man, Shen Ye couldn’t help but recall the sexy expression the man had when he called him that in bed, and his face turned red.
“No need to thank me, who told me that I’m so precious to you,” Shen Ye tiptoed and gave the man a kiss.
Ye Ze’s eyebrows curved up.
As for Xu Ce and Mr. Wang, who were just background characters throughout, they had no idea how much the old Taoist had done wrong, nor did they know what Shen Ye was worried about. They only knew that Master and Madam were showing affection again…
The two exchanged glances and saw helplessness in each other’s eyes.
Indeed, following Master and Madam meant being forced to witness their affectionate displays.
Shen Ye calmed his emotions and said to Ye Ze, “Uncle, you should take revenge yourself.”
He had countless methods to torment those two Taoists, but those two weren’t the masterminds, and they had also been deceived by the old Taoist. It would be better to give them a quick death.
Ye Ze nodded gently.
Shen Ye handed him a talisman and said, “This is a Thunder-Calling Talisman, try to see if you can activate it.”
Only those who had achieved a certain level of cultivation could activate the talisman. He also wanted to see if the man would succeed.
Clearly understanding his intentions, Ye Ze didn’t ask any further questions and took the talisman.
Shen Ye had taught him the incantation long ago. He hesitated for a moment and then struck the talisman on the two Taoists’ bodies.
The next moment, the two Taoists fell to the ground without a sound, their breath extinguished.
Shen Ye was very surprised. Did it… really work?
Once he reacted, he immediately hugged the man’s arm and praised, “You’re amazing!”
But Ye Ze lowered his gaze to his own fingertips and said, “It’s not my credit.”
Shen Ye: “?”
Ye Ze spread out his fingers, and the small golden dragon on his fingertip had awakened, looking somewhat weary. It seemed to sense the two of them looking at it and struggled to shake its tail as if splashing non-existent waves.
Shen Ye: “…So it’s this little thing.”
Ye Ze was also surprised.
“It’s good. It can come in handy when we encounter danger,” Shen Ye stroked his chin. “It’s quite reliable in critical moments.”
Ye Ze remained silent.
He didn’t need this little golden dragon to take risks for him. What he was more concerned about now was how the little golden dragon suddenly gained power.
He didn’t know if the little golden dragon would continue to attach itself to his finger.
However, he didn’t sense any malice from the little golden dragon, so it was generally a good thing.
The little golden dragon seemed to have exhausted its power from triggering the talisman and quickly fell asleep again.
Shen Ye wasn’t particularly worried. He believed that the little golden dragon could absorb the purple aura from Ye Ze’s body and the surrounding spiritual energy to recover its strength.
His gaze fell on the bodies of the two Taoists.
Both of them were already dead, the formation was broken, and Mingxin Daoist couldn’t use the Gathering Yang Formation to extend his life. It wouldn’t be long before something went wrong.
It seemed that he needed to find the old Taoist sooner to prevent him from causing his own demise.
He also wanted to torture the old Taoist a bit before letting him die. Letting him die so easily would be too good for him.
Shen Ye used his techniques to extract the souls of the two Taoists, turning their bodies into ashes, and waved his hand to disperse their souls.
From this point on, two out of the three Taoists were dead, avenging half of their grudge.
Afterward, Shen Ye removed the formation in the Taoist temple using his techniques and directly concealed the temple, preventing anyone from accidentally stumbling upon it and risking danger.
“Let’s go back,” Shen Ye said softly, holding Ye Ze’s hand after everything was done.
Ye Ze touched his face. “Okay.”
The two of them walked hand in hand towards the exit.
Shen Ye asked in a low voice, “Do you need me to take action regarding the Wang family?”
“No need. I already found out that the Wang family was also involved in the car accident. I’ve already avenged what needed to be avenged,” Ye Ze replied.
Shen Ye nodded and didn’t ask further.
For the past ten years, the man had been busy seeking revenge, constantly haunted by the deaths of his parents. It must have been painful for him.
Shen Ye didn’t know how to comfort him, so he could only hold the man’s hand tightly.
On the other hand, Ye Ze’s gaze grew deep as he looked at him and said, “Did someone mention it yesterday?”
Shen Ye asked, surprised, “Did you hear it?”
“Mhm.” Ye Ze’s eyes grew even deeper as he stared at him. “Do you think I’m ruthless?”
Shen Ye immediately said, “How is that possible!”
If his man was being bullied, he would wish to take his place.
Ye Ze looked at him silently for a moment and suddenly smiled.
He cupped the child’s face and kissed him.
At this moment, the two of them happened to walk out of the Taoist temple, and the temple slowly disappeared under the scorching sun. They embraced each other as if there was a radiant light behind them.
Xu Ce and Mr. Wang, who was following behind them, stood bewildered in the sun, not understanding why their Master brought them there…
They had nothing to do with everything that had happened from beginning to end!
All they got was a mouthful of dog food!
