A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

"What?"

These words struck the three of them like a thunderclap.

Even Xu Ling, the oldest and most composed, rushed forward and grabbed the young man by the collar, asking him a question.

"You brat! How dare you make a joke like that?"

The young man delivering the message shook his head repeatedly, offering his explanation.

"It's no joke! The clan leader is on his way."

In fact, what happened next proved him right.

Then they saw a beautiful figure, so familiar and captivating, walking in through the gate of the council hall.

Beside this beautiful woman was a handsome young man.

And there were also quite a few family members surrounding them, all looking excited.

They never expected, never imagined, that they would see this person return when they were already on the verge of despair!

At the same time, the beautiful figure smiled and greeted them after seeing them.

"The three of you, it's been a long time, I'm back."

Seeing this, the three of them were stunned for a few moments.

Then, Xu Mei was the first to react and excitedly rushed forward.

"cousin!"

Her address surprised Ye Yun, who was nearby.

"I never imagined Xu Qingyan had such a beautiful cousin..."

Compared to Xu Qingyan, the other woman seemed to have a more alluring feel.

But on the surface, she appears more mature than her cousin Xu Qingyan in terms of figure and appearance.

Ye Yun commented on this.

"They really are a pair of absolutely stunning sisters..."

At this moment, Xu Mei came up to Xu Qingyan and looked at her in disbelief.

"Is it really you?!"

Seeing her excited yet incredulous expression.

"Or...cousin, you've already been killed, and you've come to visit us as a ghost?"

"You brat, how dare you curse me like that!"

Xu Qingyan glared at her and shook her head helplessly.

Afterward, she took a deep breath and explained.

"Don't worry, I'm a person, a living, breathing person! You've all worked so hard these past few days."

"But... am I dreaming?"

Xu Mei rubbed her eyes, looking up and down, as if afraid this was a dream.

After all, I've had similar dreams far too many times during this period.

Each time, I only realized it was all for nothing after I woke up.

But then, Xu Qingyan pinched her face hard.

"And now?"

The distinct pain proved that this was not a dream.

"This...it's really true! It's actually real!"

Xu Mei opened her mouth, then threw herself into Xu Qingyan's arms.

"Great! That's wonderful! Cousin, you're finally back!"

As Xu Qingyan's cousin, she grew up with her and cultivated together from childhood.

In terms of relationship and intimacy, they are no different from biological sisters.

Therefore, during the time the other party was taken away, she was in a very low mood, but she didn't show it.

Now that Xu Qingyan is back, he can finally let everything out!

"It's alright, it's all over now."

Xu Qingyan patted her on the shoulder; she had always cared about this cousin.

When they were choosing a scapegoat.

It was the other party who insisted on being taken away in his place.

They can be considered one of the few closest relatives.

She immediately took a deep breath and softly comforted him.

"Leave the rest to me."

After that, Xu Ling and Xu Chengfeng, who were inside the council chamber, also rushed out excitedly.

"Chieftain!"

They've been fantasizing about it more than once lately.

The clan leader suddenly appeared at the most critical moment and saved the Xu family from disaster.

But that was just a fantasy, and now, that fantasy has actually come true!

Xu Qingyan glanced at them and nodded slightly.

"I've returned this time specifically to save everyone!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Xu family around them was filled with excitement.

Right now, there's probably no better news than this!

Ye Yun, who was standing next to him, took the opportunity to look around, looking thoughtful.

"The Xu family is stronger than I imagined."

Aside from Xu Qingyan, the clan leader, there are three other extraordinary cultivators.

Under such circumstances, there should also be some at the Life and Death Realm and the Yuanling Realm.

If this were in the Eastern Continent, it would already be considered an extremely powerful force in the region.

Being a local tyrant shouldn't be a problem at all...

"The number of people is a bit more than expected."

Having witnessed the immense power of the Xu family on his journey here, he realized just how influential they were.

There are probably over a thousand people in the entire mansion, not counting the clansmen stationed outside.

If we were to remove them all, it would be a considerable undertaking.

But that's a matter for later. Right now, the most important thing is to persuade these guys to agree to leave.

Otherwise, thinking about it too much is just nonsense...

"Clan Chief! Weren't you captured by the Azure Dragon Royal Family?"

Just then, Xu Ling asked incredulously.

Xu Mei, nestled in his arms, also asked curiously.

"Yeah, cousin, you actually managed to come out?"

As soon as he said this, everyone around him turned to look.

Over the years, they haven't heard of anyone.

He was imprisoned in the Azure Dragon Royal Prison, but he could be released again.

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Xu Qingyan pondered for a moment and then said.

"That's a long story."

She looked at everyone, especially at Xu Ling and the other two.

"We'll find a place later and discuss this in more detail."

As Ye Yun instructed, there are some things that the less others know, the better.

I'll just talk to the First Elder, the Second Elder, and my cousin later.

As for the others, it's best to keep it a secret for now.

"Hmm...that's fine too."

Xu Ling didn't think much of it and just agreed.

In his view, the clan leader must have her reasons for doing this!

Meanwhile, the Second Elder, Xu Chengfeng, was standing nearby.

He exclaimed in astonishment, as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Wait, clan leader, what's your cultivation level?!"

He originally wanted to check on the clan leader to see if there were any problems with his health or if he was injured.

Upon investigation, they discovered something extraordinary: the opponent's Xuan Qi strength seemed to have greatly increased!

On this matter, Xu Qingyan did not hide anything and replied with a smile.

"That's right, I have now broken through to the peak of the extraordinary realm and become a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment realm."

Upon hearing this, the surroundings fell silent for a moment, and everyone was almost stunned.

After several breaths, the atmosphere at the scene finally exploded.

"A Dao-building expert?!"

"Clan leader! You've actually broken through!"

"Great! The Xu family is saved! The Xu family is saved!"

"..."

In an instant, the Xu family members around them were all invigorated.

This is the cultivation level of the Dao Establishment stage; among the four major forces around, there is no one with such strength!

Doesn't this mean that the Xu family is going to rebuild their glory and dominate this place?

Even Xu Ling, upon seeing her admit to the breakthrough, showed a look of emotion.

"Clan leader, this is wonderful! With you here, the Xu family is saved!"

Xu Chengfeng also said excitedly.

"Yes! I knew it! With your talent, Clan Chief, you'll definitely break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm one day!"

"Just as I expected, there's hope for our Xu family!"

Before this, those four major powers had only bullied them because their clan leader was gone.

Now let's see who's bullying whom!

Seeing their fervent demeanor, Xu Qingyan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Clearly, these people are unaware that the Xu family is now being targeted by the Crown Prince and even the Eldest Princess.

The Xu family, a family that has committed the crime of rebellion.

From a moral, logical, and even personal standpoint, neither of these two individuals would allow the Xu family to have a chance to rise again!

At this moment, she took a deep breath and said.

"Everyone, please calm down. My breakthrough wasn't due to my own efforts, but because of this young master..."

She glanced at Ye Yun beside her.

It was at this moment that everyone noticed the young man that Xu Qingyan brought with her when she returned.

They initially thought this was a follower that Xu Qingyan had brought back.

But when they heard her explanation, everyone was stunned.

It was actually this person who helped the clan leader break through?

At this moment, Xu Mei also got up from her embrace, looked at the handsome young man in front of her, and asked in surprise.

"So, this young master is...?"

When Ye Yun was mentioned, Xu Qingyan paused and glanced at him.

She seemed to be still hesitating about how to introduce him to her people; it wouldn't be right to just say that this was her master.

But saying anything else feels impolite.

Just then, it seemed that he could see the struggle in her heart.

Ye Yun had already taken the initiative to speak with a smile.

"Greetings, everyone. My name is Lin Mu, and you are a friend of Clan Chief Xu."

"friend?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, Xu Qingyan realized what was happening and immediately nodded.

"That's right, just friends, nothing more..."

She turned to look at everyone and said slowly.

"It was thanks to Young Master Lin that I was able to get out; you could say he's my savior!"

"Besides, it was also because of his help that I was able to break through to the peak of the extraordinary realm and enter the realm of Dao Building!"

"Therefore, from now on, when you see him, you should treat him as if you were seeing me, and you must not be rude!"

These words shocked the Xu family members.

The main problem is Ye Yun; he looks far too young.

It's hard to imagine that he could possess such methods.

However, they still trusted the clan leader's words.

"I see... Then thank you very much, young master!"

Xu Mei reacted the fastest, immediately bowing respectfully to Ye Yun.

"Thank you so much, Young Master Lin, for saving my cousin!"

Immediately afterwards, Xu Ling and Xu Chengfeng, who were standing next to him, also chimed in.

"That's right! From this day forward, you are the greatest benefactor of the Xu family!"

"Given any chance, I will do everything in my power to repay your kindness!"

The rest of the Xu family members also bowed in respect.

Seeing this, Ye Yun nodded slightly.

It seems that the Xu family members are still grateful for kindness shown to them.

But that's normal. If someone weren't so loyal and courageous, why would they be so determined to live and die with their family?

"Please don't stand on ceremony, I was just doing it on a whim."

Ye Yun waved his hand and smiled faintly.

Just then, Xu Mei looked at him thoughtfully, then glanced at Xu Qingyan and jokingly laughed.

"Speaking of which, cousin, according to the plot of those traditional stories..."

"Young Master Lin has done you such a great favor, aren't you going to repay him with your body?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look and started making a fuss.

If it were someone else, they might say, "Think twice, Chieftain! Don't trust people so easily!"

Everyone present was intelligent and knew they could get him out of the prison and help him break through to the peak of the extraordinary realm.

Just how much gold is in this?

If the clan leader could be with such a young master with extraordinary abilities, what future would the Xu family have to worry about?

This sudden change in tone left Xu Qingyan somewhat at a loss.

"Cousin! Don't talk nonsense!"

She glared at Xu Mei and said with a serious expression.

"This young master is of noble birth; how could I possibly be worthy of him?"

Clearly, she was worried that the other person's words would offend Ye Yun.

After all, she was essentially just a female slave under Ye Yun's command, how could she allow herself to be the subject of such jokes?

Her words, however, shocked everyone once again.

"Of noble status?"

Just how prestigious does this have to be?

How could a clan leader who had already reached the Dao Establishment stage say such a thing?

Could it be that the other party is the heir of some powerful force?

Or perhaps... a prince?!

Thinking of this, many people gasped and looked at Ye Yun with more awe.

Xu Mei covered her mouth and smiled, then explained.

"Okay, okay, I was just joking, don't take it seriously."

Seeing this, Xu Qingyan felt somewhat helpless.

"This kind of joke is not to be made again!"

Seeing her serious expression, Xu Mei had no choice but to nod.

"Hmm... I already knew that."

At this moment, Xu Qingyan secretly glanced at Ye Yun.

Seeing that the other party's expression did not change, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It thought to itself that only its own master had a relatively easy-going personality, otherwise it would be troublesome if he harbored resentment.

To avoid offending Ye Yun again, she immediately changed the subject and asked.

"Elder, Second Elder, how is the situation in the clan now?"

"Did those guys continue to cause you trouble after I left?"

According to the agreement, she was supposed to take the blame and resolve the trouble.

The other four forces will try their best to take care of the Xu family in the future.

When this matter was mentioned, Xu Ling, Xu Chengfeng, and even Xu Mei's expressions darkened.

Then, Xu Ling glanced around and said.

"Chief, let's find a place where I can explain it to you in more detail."

It was obviously too crowded and noisy to talk here.

If the truth were revealed, their ranks would likely fall into chaos before the enemy even arrives.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingyan nodded in agreement.

"Alright, let's go to another meeting room then."

As for why we didn't use this one, it's mainly because the doors to the main hall were all smashed open...

After that, she looked at the crowd surrounding her and spoke loudly.

"Everyone, go back and get some rest. I promise you'll all be safe and sound."

"Yes, Chieftain!"

With her words, everyone felt relieved.

Even as they left, they were still in high spirits, and many people were talking about it.

"Great! Our Xu family is saved now!"

"Yes, in a few days, those guys will know how powerful the Xu family is!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I wonder who exactly this Young Master Lin who saved the clan leader is?"

"Shh, it's best not to ask about these things. The more you know, the faster you'll die..."

"..."

……

Compared to them, who were in high spirits.

In another council chamber, the atmosphere was much quieter.

Upon arriving at the council hall, Xu Qingyan raised her hand and set up a soundproof barrier.

During this period, the fluctuations of profound energy she displayed were undoubtedly at the Foundation Establishment stage!

This put all three of them in a good mood. With a Dao-building expert, the Xu family finally had someone to rely on!

At this moment, Ye Yun sat quietly to the side, not intending to interfere in the other party's meeting.

In truth, he still had some doubts.

"I wonder how Qingyan convinced them to move out..."

Now that they know Xu Qingyan has broken through, the Xu family's confident demeanor makes them difficult to persuade.

At the same time, Xu Qingyan looked at the three of them and asked.

"Elder, can you now tell me about the Xu family's current situation?"

Seeing that no one was around, Xu Ling hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and said.

"The Xu family... is in a very bad situation now."

"Huh? What's going on?"

Xu Qingyan frowned and immediately pressed for an answer.

"Could it be that those guys took advantage of the situation?"

"That's right!"

Xu Ling nodded, gritting her teeth as she spoke.

"Those despicable bastards! After you were arrested, they..."

Afterwards, Xu Ling recounted the entire incident to Xu Qingyan.

From the beginning of the collective targeting of them, to in the last two days, they have directly issued an ultimatum to them.

He finished speaking with a livid face.

"Those guys said that if we don't do as they say, they'll start a war against the Xu family in three days!"

It was easy to tell from his tone that he really wanted to tear the guys from the other four major forces to pieces!

After listening, Xu Qingyan's expression also turned ugly.

"I knew it! Those guys are all untrustworthy and shameless scoundrels!"

She had considered the nature of those guys from the very beginning.

However, at that time, I had no choice at all.

And no one expected that they would be so eager to divide up the Xu family!

She would accept it if they continued their hypocritical act for a hundred or two hundred years.

"Yes! They're no different from robbers!"

Xu Mei snorted coldly and cursed angrily.

But then, a smile appeared on her face.

"But... it's okay now."

Xu Mei looked at Xu Qingyan and smiled.

"From now on, with you, cousin, in charge of the Xu family, we don't need to be afraid of those bastards anymore!"

"On the contrary, they should be afraid of us!"

The First Elder and the Second Elder both agreed with this point.

"Exactly! If they knew that you, clan leader, had broken through, they'd be terrified!"

The two of them chuckled.

Only Xu Qingyan frowned and exchanged a glance with Ye Yun.

"Young master, it seems the situation is worse than we thought."

Originally, the plan was to quietly move the Xu family members away.

But now, with all four major powers watching them, it's almost impossible for them to move away quietly.

Ye Yun pondered for a moment before speaking calmly.

"It's alright, just follow the plan. If things don't work out, we'll just charge in!"

In his view, the only people who needed to be wary were the Crown Prince's people.

As for the cultivators from the four major powers, it would be fine if they withdrew at that time.

If anyone dares to obstruct us, we can simply charge in!

With Ye Yun's endorsement, Xu Qingyan nodded.

"Yes, I understand!"

Afterwards, she looked at the three people in front of her and asked a question.

"What are your thoughts on this matter, the three of you?"

Although he is the clan leader, he has limited influence in many decision-making processes.

She will still listen to the opinions of these three people, and then integrate them in her mind.

Upon hearing this, the three exchanged a glance.

They answered almost without hesitation.

"Of course we'll fight them to the death! Those guys have been bullying our Xu family like this!"

"We have to teach them a lesson!"
