What a lucky world!

Chapter 145 Taking the knife is natural; taking the blame is natural!
The helmsman of Fenglin Villa has always been weaker than the previous generation.

The Ye family was originally just a commoner family in Lanling County. Although there were heroes in the Ju Dan realm in every generation of the family, and there was even a scene with four heroes in the Ju Dan realm at the same time at the peak, it was still one step away from being an aristocratic family.

According to the "Records of Shijia" of the previous dynasty, there is no Shijia without a master.

Until Ye Dafeng came out of nowhere and reached the master level at the age of forty, he finally promoted the Ye family from a commoner clan to an aristocratic family and left his name in the "Aristocratic Family Chronicles".

After being promoted to Grandmaster, Ye Dafeng made a bet with the Grandmasters of the other two aristocratic families in Lanling City. With his sharp swordsmanship, he killed one of them and forced the other to retreat. From then on, he dominated Lanling City and enjoyed the fortune of the county.

After running Fenglin Villa for ten years, Ye Dafeng retreated behind the scenes, practiced in seclusion, and sought further progress.

The second-generation owner of Fenglin Villa was Ye Dafeng’s legitimate son, the father of Ye Suifeng and Ye Suixin, named Ye Luoyu.

Ye Luoyu has no reputation in the martial arts world, but in Lanling City, his name is even more famous than Ye Dafeng.

The second-generation owner of Fenglin Villa truly built the power framework of Fenglin Villa. He sponsored students, made friends with celebrities, and extended his hands to the provincial government and the court. He did not seek expansion, but only wanted to turn Lanling City into a city for his Ye family. Three consecutive chief officials of Lanling County became sworn brothers with him and all married his Ye daughters.

In Lanling City, a word from Fenglin Villa is much more useful than that from the government office.

However, while Ye Luoyu possessed considerable skill, his martial arts talent was mediocre. He hadn't even reached the Condensed Gallbladder Realm, only the Great Perfection of the Nourishing Fluids Realm. After thirteen years at the helm of Fenglin Villa, he was assassinated in his bed one snowy night by a beauty trap.

Rumor has it that this assassin was deployed by the Imperial Court's Demon Suppression Division...

Come to think of it, if Ye just wanted to be an underground emperor, the court could have turned a blind eye since the world was in such chaos. But if he wanted to have both good and bad sides, he would be ruining the whole thing.

After Ye Luoyu's death, everyone thought that Ye Suifeng, the third generation leader of Fenglin Villa, who was famous all over the world and was known as the "Two Dragons of Jialing" together with the young master of the Zhuge family, would take over the position of the owner of Fenglin Villa. However, they did not expect that Ye Dafeng would come out of seclusion and hand over the position of owner to his unknown second grandson Ye Suixin.

Compared to Ye Luoyu, Ye Suixin is naturally much weaker. Fenglin Villa has also stopped being radical as it was during the Ye Luoyu period and has become more conservative.

But in the eyes of some people, this choice cannot help but be applauded.

It's very simple. Fenglin Villa has already caught the attention of the imperial court and is on the verge of becoming a thorn in their side. At this time, you are appointing another powerful leader. Do you think you are not dying fast enough?

Not long after, news came out that Ye Suifeng, the true prodigy of the Ye family, had become possessed, further reducing the threat posed by the Ye family in the eyes of the imperial court.

When Ye Suixin madly suppressed Ye Suifeng and the news of the internal strife in Fenglin Villa was spread by someone with ulterior motives, Fenglin Villa finally settled down.

This is how the world is. The more chaotic you are, the safer you are; the more stable you are, the more dangerous you are.

But everything is excessive. If Ye Suixin could barely be considered a leader who maintained the status quo, then the next generation could only be described as a splendid exterior with rotten flesh.

Ye Suixin has only one son, Ye Hanyu. Although Ye Hanyu imitates the behavior of a young master from an aristocratic family, he is not a reliable choice in terms of scheming, talent, or vision. Therefore, there are rumors that the next owner of the manor will be chosen from a branch family, and this knife sharpening meeting is an important test.

While thinking about the mess that happened in the master's family, Butler Jin felt his sleeve pulled by the servant.

"Butler Jin..."

Butler Jin finally came to his senses. He first glared at the servant who did not distinguish between high and low, and then his eyes fell on the chaotic knife field not far away.

Luan Dao Ping is a training ground within Fenglin Villa. The ground is covered with many knife marks left by the Ye family's disciples during their sword training, hence its name. At this moment, on Luan Dao Ping, Ye Hanyu looked at Ye Hanzhou, who had not appeared in many days, with a look of sarcasm on his face.

"Butler..." the servant said weakly, "Don't you want to arrest Young Master Han Zhou?"

"What do you know!" Butler Jin said calmly, "It's enough to have Young Master Hanyu take action."

About a quarter of an hour after Ye Sui Xin left, he received news that Ye Hanzhou appeared in Fenglin Villa and challenged Ye Hanyu to win back the Yuan Xiao Ai. He hurried over and saw this scene.

"You killed the steward, and everyone in the villa is looking for you. You still dare to come back and ask me for a knife?" Ye Hanyu was not in a hurry to take action. He just looked at Ye Hanzhou with some curiosity. "Have you been hiding for a few days? Have you lost your mind?"

"You're talking about two things." Ye Hanzhou held up two fingers. "First, Yuan Xiaoai is mine. You snatched him from me. It's only right that I take him back now."

"Secondly, the murder was committed by me, so naturally I bear the responsibility. It's only natural."

"I came back to shoulder this responsibility. Whether I have my martial arts skills stripped away and expelled from the Ye family, or I'm handed over to the court and sentenced to death, I accept it."

"Do you have any more questions?"

Ye Hanyu flicked the weapon box at his waist, and Yuan Xiaoai appeared in his hand. Ye Hanyu slowly pulled out Yuan Xiaoai and said, "You speak like a man."

"It's a pity that you are too weak!"

Ye Hanyu pointed the tip of the knife at Ye Hanzhou: "Three moves!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Hanyu moved and rushed directly towards Ye Hanzhou. The Yuan Xiaoai in his hand was like a flash of lightning, slashing directly at Ye Hanzhou.

"Ding"!
Ye Hanzhou simply swung the machete in his hand, and there was a crisp sound, and Ye Hanyu's knife was blocked by Ye Hanzhou.

Ye Hanyu frowned slightly, and a brilliant blade light suddenly flashed on Yuan Xiaoai's body, and he attacked Ye Hanzhou again.

"when!"

"when!"

"when!"

With three consecutive crisp sounds, the ape's howling cries wrapped in the sword light were all blocked by Ye Hanzhou.

"It's already four moves!" Ye Hanzhou looked at Ye Hanyu and said lightly.

"Young Master Yu, don't underestimate the enemy." At this time, Butler Jin spoke up to remind him, "Young Master Zhou has reached the Yangye Realm!" "Yangye Realm!" Ye Hanyu looked at Ye Hanzhou, his face instantly darkening.

How can it be!

Although there were rumors before that Ye Hanzhou showed his cultivation level of Yangye Realm by killing Guan Buqu, he never believed it.

What a joke, he was still at the eighth level of Tongmai two months ago!
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true!
Suddenly, he seemed to understand why his father wanted to capture Ye Hanzhou throughout the city.

Can't let him live!
Ye Hanyu's heart sank. He stepped back, looked at Ye Hanzhou, and suddenly sneered, "You hid well!"

"But, so what if I'm in the Yangye realm? I'm also in the Yangye realm, and I won't lose to you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Yuan Xiaoai in Ye Hanyu's hand turned in his hand, and the moonlight fell on the blade, as if turning the knife into a pool of autumn water.

The Ye family's swordsmanship originated from the Blood Drinking Mad Sword, and in order to remove the madness brought by the Blood Drinking Mad Sword, this move was created - Cool Moon Like Water.

This was the most proficient martial art he had mastered, and he wanted to kill Ye Hanzhou with one blow.

Ye Hanyu swung his sword to attack Ye Hanzhou, and Ye Hanzhou also performed the same move of Cool Moon Like Water.

Seeing Ye Hanzhou perform the Night is Cool as Water, a hint of shock flashed in Ye Hanyu's eyes. You know, the threshold for performing this move is the Yangye Realm.

But then Ye Hanyu laughed. If Ye Hanzhou had only made a breakthrough in the past few days, then using the same move, he would definitely not be as good as himself.

It was clearly the collision of two long swords, but it looked like a cold spring meeting clear waves, and under the moonlight it looked like the collision of two bright moons.

The next moment, a sound like cloth tearing was heard in the air, and the Qiu Shui that Ye Hanyu was waving was directly swallowed up by the Mingyue in Ye Hanzhou's hand.

Just like a trickle of water merging into a river.

"Ah!" Almost at the same time, Ye Hanyu let out a scream, his arm holding the knife flew up, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Ye Hanzhou ignored Ye Hanyu and reached out to take the Yuan Xiaoai in the broken-armed hand.

"Bold!" Butler Jin's expression changed, and a long knife suddenly appeared in his hand, slashing directly towards Ye Hanyu.

The blade light broke away from the long sword in Butler Jin's hand, turned into a crescent moon and flew directly towards Ye Hanzhou.

Being able to launch such a long-range attack, Butler Jin's cultivation level must be at the Judan realm!
Feeling the dangerous aura in the crescent blade, Ye Hanzhou grabbed Yuan Xiaoai and poured his internal energy into him frantically, trying to block it with his sword.

But the next moment, a shadow of a scholar in green suddenly appeared in front of Ye Hanzhou. The scholar's appearance could not be seen clearly, and he was holding a goose feather fan in his hand. He raised the goose feather fan and waved it towards the crescent-shaped blade light coming from Butler Jin. In an instant, the ground blew up and blew away the crescent-shaped blade light. The wind had not stopped yet and blew directly in front of Butler Jin. Even though Butler Jin was already in the Gathering Gallant Realm, he still took several steps back before stopping.

At this time, the wind stopped and the figure of the young scholar disappeared.

Butler Jin's face was solemn as he bowed respectfully and said, "I don't know which distinguished person has come to Fenglin Villa to teach me a lesson with Daoying. I apologize."

He naturally recognized the scene just now; that was Daoying.

Daoying is created by extracting a trace of the divine spirit of a person above the Grandmaster level and painstakingly refining it. It is comparable to top-notch talismans and is often the trump card of the direct descendants of aristocratic families.

"You don't need to know my identity." A voice that didn't match male or female came from the darkness. "This Ye Hanzhou is favored by my family's elders. You must not hurt him. Let him go down the mountain immediately!"

Butler Jin's face looked grim, and he was about to argue a few more words when suddenly a sword force came from the back mountain, as if it had split the world apart, and rushed straight into the sky.

The next moment, an invisible force came directly towards Ye Hanzhou, as if trying to grab Ye Hanzhou away.

"Master!"

"Old man Qin!"

Two voices, one male and one female, rang out simultaneously in the darkness, and then a sword light appeared out of thin air, cutting off the invisible force.

At this time, three figures appeared behind Ye Hanzhou, they were a young man and woman and an old Taoist priest.

"Brother Zhang? Miss Zhuge? Senior Qin?" Seeing the appearance of the three people, Ye Hanzhou was slightly stunned and surprised.

"Brother Mu guessed that you came to Fenglin Villa to get a knife to take the blame, and he was worried about your safety, so he followed you." Zhuge Nanxian said first.

Ye Hanzhou was stunned for a moment, then he bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhang."

"No need to thank me. It was Nanxian who used Daoying just now..." Zhang Mu did not accept the favor and told Zhuge Nanxian about his contribution.

Butler Jin frowned as he looked at the three people who suddenly appeared, but did not dare to act rashly.

"Grandpa Qin, what happened just now..." Zhuge Nanxian asked.

"His ancestor has come out of seclusion." Old Man Qin pinched his beard, "He's still one step away from becoming a Grandmaster."

"If it's just as you said, we're going to capture this kid as food..."

Ye Hanzhou looked bewildered and asked, "Senior Qin, what do you mean by that? Who is the ration?"
