He felt no emotion whatsoever, and even took it for granted.

Given Ye Xiongba's ruthless nature—capable of sacrificing even his own blood relatives—how could he possibly truly trust a nephew?

Giving them the empty title of acting leader is probably the limit.

The purpose was nothing more than to use Ye Sisi's identity to stabilize certain forces within the family, or to make her a target to draw attention.

Ye Sisi's resentment suited him perfectly.

Just as Lan Tianyu was figuring out how to make his appearance.

In a fit of anger, Ye Sisi grabbed a valuable enamel vase from the cabinet and smashed it against the opposite wall with all her might.

As luck would have it, the vase flew out of his hand in the exact direction from which Lan Tianyu was standing hidden.

Seeing the vase hurtling towards him, Lan Tianyu didn't even consider dodging.

With a slight thought, a wisp of his inner force instantly emanated from his body, forming an invisible cushion of air in front of him.

Snapped!

The vase landed precisely on the invisible cushion, producing a soft thud.

Instead of breaking, it seemed to be held up by an invisible hand.

It hovered eerily in mid-air, only half a foot away from Lan Tianyu's chest.

Just as Ye Sisi was about to continue venting her anger, her pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints when she saw this unbelievable scene.

My blood seemed to freeze instantly.

Why is the vase suspended in mid-air?

He wasn't stupid; he realized it instantly.

A superhuman with special abilities had somehow barged into his room.

Moreover, he is a superhuman with the ability to become invisible and whose strength is unfathomable.

An immense fear, like a cold, venomous snake, instantly coiled around his heart.

He's just a Muggle.

Faced with a powerful superhuman who could silently infiltrate the core territory of the Yehenara family, he had no power to resist.

"Help! Someone's here..."

Ye Sisi opened her mouth almost instinctively, trying to scream for help with all her might.

However, just as his first syllable was about to burst from his throat...

"Mute, Ulabhaha!"

[Silence Technique]

Lan Tianyu's deep, hoarse voice rang out

An invisible force field instantly enveloped the entire room.

Ye Sisi's screams were as if they had been muted.

Although his mouth was wide open and the veins on his neck were bulging, he couldn't utter a single sound.

All sounds were confined to this small space.

"Uh……"

Ye Sisi screamed in vain, but could only manage a faint hiss.

He stared at the vase floating in mid-air, his gaze sweeping across the empty room in shock and terror. His face was ashen, and cold sweat instantly soaked through his clothes.

Finished!

His heart was ice-cold!

At this moment, he had completely become a fish on the chopping block!

No matter how much he struggled, he couldn't escape the other party's control!

After the initial shock of fear comes the instinct for survival.

Ye Sisi forced herself to calm down; she knew that shouting would be useless.

He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, trying to use the pain to keep himself awake and calm.

He spoke to the air, forcing himself to remain calm, his voice trembling noticeably with fear:

"May I ask which distinguished guest has graced us with their presence?"

"I apologize for not greeting you properly. May I ask if you would be so kind as to show yourself?"

Lan Tianyu still didn't take off his invisibility cloak; he needed to maintain this sense of mystery and oppression.

He deliberately changed his voice, speaking in a hoarse tone.

"There's no need for us to meet, Ye Sisi. My purpose in coming here is not to take your worthless life."

"On the contrary, I'm here to give you a great opportunity."

"good fortune?"

Ye Sisi sneered inwardly. He didn't believe in free lunches; the person hiding in the shadows must have a shocking conspiracy.

But outwardly, he forced a look of trepidation and bowed deeply into the air: 4.6

"You flatter me, sir. I am not worthy of such good fortune..."

"If you need anything, just give the order. I, Ye, will do anything for you, even if it means going through fire and water!"

He adopted an extremely humble posture and spoke with utmost respect.

In his mind, however, he was rapidly calculating the other party's true intentions and how to escape.

Although Lan Tianyu had never learned mind-reading, Ye Sisi's little thoughts were transparent to him.

He paid no heed to the other person's insincerity and continued in his seductive, husky voice:

"There's no need to go through fire and water."

"I'm asking you, do you want to remove the word 'agent' from your resume...?"

Lan Tianyu paused, then asked with a captivating, insightful tone:

"To become the true head of the Yehenara family, wielding the power of life and death?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Sisi abruptly raised her head, her expression instantly freezing.

[172] This is just an insurance measure!

Upon hearing this, Ye Sisi abruptly raised her head, her expression instantly freezing.

The forced respect and fear shattered like a mask, replaced by utter shock.

My heart pounded violently, as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer.

The true leader?

This temptation is too great!

It was so big that he could barely breathe!

This was his deepest longing, yet his ultimate dream was ruthlessly crushed by reality.

I never expected that he was the one who usually made empty promises and sweet-talked others.

Today, however, the tables have turned, and it's his turn to be offered a huge pie that's enough to make his soul tremble.

His throat bobbed as he forcefully suppressed his turbulent emotions. His voice, hoarse with excitement, carried a hint of tentative anticipation and a barely perceptible longing.

"Master, you are joking."

"I dream of becoming the true head of the Yehenara family, but that's as difficult as climbing to the heavens!"

“With my uncle around, the chances are practically zero.”

When Ye Xiongba was mentioned, a deep sense of fear and resentment flashed in his eyes.

"Ha ha……"

Lan Tianyu's deep laughter echoed in the silent room, carrying a chilling resonance.

13 "Is it difficult?"

His voice suddenly turned cold, like ice:

"If I just kill him, I'll get rid of this trouble."

A casual remark struck Ye Sisi like a thunderclap.

"With Ye Xiong Ba dead, wouldn't it be natural for you, the acting sect leader, to take over?"

"At that time, you will have complete control over the entire Yehenara family."

Ye Sisi was stunned by this huge promise, her heart pounding wildly.

The thought of himself in high spirits, commanding the world, fueled his ambition to grow wildly like vines.

But he was, after all, the acting leader cultivated by Ye Xiongba, and he knew a golden rule.

There's no such thing as a free lunch; the more tempting the pie, the deeper the trap.

He forcefully suppressed his surging desires and excitement, remained silent for a few seconds, and tried to make his voice sound calm and cautious:

"Master, I am deeply grateful for your kindness!"

"If I may be so bold as to ask, what do I need to give in return?"

He stared intently in the direction the sound came from, trying to catch any subtle emotional fluctuation.

Lan Tianyu understood that the other party must have been tempted.

How could a mentally sound and ambitious person be willing to be a puppet who is monitored and sidelined forever?

He had already prepared his explanation, and said in a low voice:

"It's very simple. Once Ye Xiongba returns, just tell me the exact time of his return, his condition, and any other developments you deem important."

"Passing on a message? I thought they were going to poison me..."

Ye Sisi felt a sense of relief; it didn't sound too difficult after all.

But he immediately put on an extremely troubled look and said with a bitter face:

"What you may not know is that I am currently being protected by men sent by my uncle, who are keeping a close watch on me."

"He's called the acting sect leader, but in reality, he can hardly even step out of this room!"

"Passing on messages is extremely risky; the slightest mistake could lead to utter ruin!"

He tried to negotiate, lower the other party's expectations, and also to secure more benefits and protection for himself.

"Humph!"

Lan Tianyu let out a cold sneer, his hoarse voice suddenly turning chilling.

"That's your business, what does it have to do with me?"

Having said that, he had a thought, and an invisible and chilling killing intent instantly enveloped the entire room.

Ye Sisi felt as if her blood was freezing and she was having difficulty breathing.

"If you can't even handle this small matter, I can kill you with one slap right now."

This last sentence carried an undisguised threat.

Ye Sisi trembled violently, her clothes instantly soaked with cold sweat.

He knew that his little scheme had been completely seen through.

The mysterious and unpredictable master in front of him was not buying his act at all.

If he dares to make excuses or try to evade responsibility again, his death may be imminent.

Ye Sisi dared not hesitate any longer. Her face instantly filled with the most fawning and fearful smile as she repeatedly bowed to the air.

"I was confused for a moment, please forgive me, sir."
