Chapter 491 Assessing the Situation
Upon hearing that Lin Zhao was going to the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Jiangxiu frowned and said, "Senior, this is a matter for our Ye family."

Lin Zhao looked at him with a half-smile. Ye Jiangxiu met Lin Zhao's gaze and tried to speak, but no matter how he opened his mouth, he couldn't utter a sound.

"It used to be your Ye family's business, but it's not anymore." Lin Zhao smiled slightly: "I am from Ye Wei's maternal family. Now the family wants to take her home. We need to ask how your Ye family has raised her all these years. How come when I took Ye Wei, she didn't even have the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment?"

Lin Zhao's words only made Ye Jiangxiu notice Ye Wei's cultivation level, and he was immediately taken aback.

Because he discovered that the person he previously thought had no talent for cultivation was actually in the late Foundation Establishment stage!
Ye Wei's late Foundation Establishment stage is nothing special at her age, but just a few months ago, she wasn't even at the Foundation Establishment stage!
Ye Jiangxiu suddenly remembered his mother's instructions to him and Ye Wan.

"This girl is being suppressed by your father, who's blinded by greed. I think she has a good temperament and talent, so you don't need to suppress her. Give her everything that a daughter of the city lord should have. If she becomes successful, she can help you too. If she doesn't, it won't bother you. You must not let your brainless and useless father harm your illegitimate daughter and damage your Dao heart."

But despite consuming so many resources over the years, Ye Wei's cultivation level remained low, leading him to believe that his own mother had misjudged her.

Looking back now, it seems his mother had a sharp eye.

Little did they know that Ye Wei's cultivation level remained mediocre despite consuming resources because she didn't use the right methods. After all, she wasn't a normal cultivator, and naturally, she wouldn't achieve much by using ordinary methods and resources for cultivation.

"Then please follow me, senior."

Even if he doesn't bring her, Ye Wei will bring this senior with the secret to maintaining her youthful appearance to the Ye family. So why not be more considerate and leave a good impression on this senior?

Upon arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, the gatekeeper saw Ye Wei and was about to grab him. However, upon seeing Ye Jiangxiu, he took two steps back and gave a wink to the person next to him.

Ye Jiangxiu led his men into the city lord's mansion without any hindrance.

Lin Zhao observed and had a general idea of ​​the current situation of the City Lord's Mansion. When he arrived at the main hall and met the City Lord, this feeling became even more pronounced.

The city lord was a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Heartbeat Stage. Ever since Lin Zhao brought Ye Wei out, his gaze had been fixed on Ye Wei.

However, there was no fatherly concern for his daughter in his eyes; instead, there was a ruthless glint in his eyes, as if he wanted to kill her as soon as possible.

If it weren't for the fact that he and Ye Wei looked somewhat alike, Lin Zhao would have doubted whether the other person was actually Ye Wei's biological father.

What grudge could a father hold against his own daughter?
Upon seeing Ye Jiangxiu, Lord Ye's expression softened somewhat. Of his many children, he only felt a certain amount of fatherly love for Ye Jiangxiu and Ye Wan.

Ironically, Lord Ye loathed Madam An, but of all his children, both those he acknowledged and those he didn't, only Madam An's two children received his attention and upbringing.

"Jiang Xiu, this is a matter for our elders, it has nothing to do with you, you may leave now. Guards, lock this little slut up."

Upon hearing Lord Ye's words, the guards waiting outside were about to step forward and seize Ye Wei.

Lin Zhao clapped his hands, and the Heaven and Earth Prison of the Nascent Soul stage instantly took shape. These guards were isolated outside by an invisible barrier. The next moment, the gate closed, and only Lin Zhao, Xiao Bei, the city lord, and the Ye siblings remained in this space.

Upon encountering this move, Lord Ye immediately fell silent.

Although he had heard that a powerful cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage had saved Ye Wei, he didn't feel it was real until he actually saw it. He even thought that others were exaggerating. How could a Nascent Soul stage cultivator save such a little brat?

Lin Zhao, with Ye Wei and Xiao Bei in tow, sat in the seats of honor, gesturing for Ye Jiangxiu to sit down. He then addressed City Lord Ye, "Now you know how to be quiet?" City Lord Ye's expression was grim: "Senior, this is a matter of our Ye family! Even if you are a Nascent Soul stage expert, you cannot interfere in other people's family affairs!"

"I am from Ye Wei's maternal family. Do you still remember her mother?"

Lord Ye paused for a moment, seemingly recalling some unpleasant memory, and sneered, "A whore who sleeps with anyone, do you expect me to erect a monument for her?!"

His eyes were filled with suppressed anger, and his fists were clenched tightly. Seeing this, Lin Zhao asked, "When you got pregnant with Ye Wei's mother, wasn't it voluntary?"

Lord Ye's face immediately turned liver-colored: "A woman from a brothel, does she even deserve to carry my child?"

Lin Zhao touched his face. "You chose this woman yourself. Sleeping with her was consensual. The child wasn't conceived by her alone. Now that the child is grown up, what are you talking about, whether she's good enough or not? Lord Ye, what makes you so noble?"

Lord Ye sneered, "That woman isn't even a virgin. She's a used slut who's been played with countless times. Does she even deserve it?"

Lin Zhao didn't want to beat around the bush with this person anymore: "So you slept with her at the brothel thinking she was a virgin, but she wasn't, so you abandoned her, and even after she died in childbirth and gave birth to your daughter, you still didn't know her true identity?"

That's a bit tricky. I was hoping to get some useful information out of this person.

Just as Lin Zhao was thinking that his trip had been a waste, he heard a laugh coming from above: "City Lord Ye, it seems you need help."

Upon hearing this voice, Lord Ye's eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly towards the source of the sound, "Lord Duan Ye, that little bastard is right here!"

Lin Zhao's eyes turned cold. He brought Ye Wei and Xiao Bei behind him and confronted the old man who appeared in his formation with a single palm strike.

"Huh?" The old man sensed something was wrong the moment he exchanged a palm strike with Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao flicked her fingers slightly, and a talisman flew out from her palm and landed on the old man's brow. The old man subconsciously tried to peel off the talisman, but his movements stopped at that moment.

Level 9 Immobilization Talisman.

Although Lin Zhao's cultivation level is still at the Nascent Soul stage, her cultivation level, which is infinitely close to the Integration stage, has already given her the ability to draw level nine spirit talismans.

The elderly man in the Integration Stage who appeared before her became the first test subject of her Level 9 Spirit Talisman.

Now it seems that the effect is very good.

The effect was so good that Lord Ye, who had been wearing an arrogant smile, froze on the spot.

He never imagined that the Nascent Soul stage expert of the Duanye family would be defeated by this woman in less than a single move.
Lord Ye wasn't particularly stupid; seeing that things were going wrong, he knelt down before Lin Zhao.

"Senior, please forgive me! Senior, please forgive me! I really didn't know Ye Wei's mother's identity. It was the Duan Ye family that forced me to offer my daughter up. Otherwise, what father would be willing to let his daughter be humiliated in public?"

Lin Zhao, Ye Wei, and Ye Jiangxiu: "..."
