Game Invasion: Awakening the Necromancer at the Start

three days later.

Ye Hongyu woke up.

She opened her eyes to an unfamiliar ceiling. She tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through her chest, causing her to gasp.

"Don't move." A familiar voice rang out.

Su Wan walked in carrying a bowl of medicine. When she saw that she was awake, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

"You've been unconscious for three days." He placed the medicine by the bedside. "Avril said your injuries have mostly healed, but you still need to rest for a week."

Ye Hongyu looked at him and suddenly laughed: "Are you taking care of me?"

"You were injured because of me."

"So it's out of guilt?"

Su Wan didn't answer, but simply handed her the medicine: "Drink it while it's hot."

Ye Hongyu took the bowl and slowly drank the medicine. The medicine was very bitter, but she didn't even flinch. After finishing the medicine, she looked at Su Wan: "Where's Ye Wuhen?"

"He's dead."

"It's better that he's dead," Ye Hongyu said calmly. "But the Ye family won't let this go. They might send people to investigate, or even retaliate."

"Let them come." Su Wan's eyes turned cold. "Kill them one by one."

Ye Hongyu looked at him and suddenly asked, "Su Wan, were you here watching over me while I was unconscious?"

Su Wan froze: "No, I just..."

"Don't lie to me," Ye Hongyu interrupted. "Your eyes are bloodshot; you definitely haven't rested well."

Su Wan sighed: "You were injured because of me, so it's my duty to take care of you."

"Just as one should?" Ye Hongyu stared into his eyes.

Su Wan felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze and looked away, saying, "You get some rest, I'm leaving now."

He turned to leave, but Ye Hongyu suddenly reached out and grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"etc."

Su Wan stopped.

"Su Wan, I have a question for you," Ye Hongyu said softly. "If it had been Su Li or Lin Qingyue in that situation, would you have acted the same way?"

Su Wan paused for a moment, then nodded after thinking it over carefully: "Yes."

"If Lin Qingyue and I were both in danger, who would you save first?"

This question stunned Su Wan; it was such a classic question.

He looked at Ye Hongyu, whose eyes held a hint of cunning, clearly teasing him.

"I'll save the one closest to me," Su Wan finally replied, "and then I'll do everything I can to save the other one."

"Standard answer." Ye Hongyu smiled, releasing her grip. "Go ahead, I'm fine."

Su Wan nodded, then turned back as she reached the door: "Thank you, Red Fish."

"You're welcome." Ye Hongyu waved her hand. "But remember to owe me a favor next time, you'll have to pay it back."

"must."

The door closed.

Ye Hongyu lay back on the bed, looking at the ceiling with a slight smile on her lips.

"What a blockhead... but he's kind of cute."

She touched the bandage on her chest; it still ached slightly, but her heart felt warm.

Perhaps staying in the Temple of Eternity is a good choice.

On the third day after Ye Hongyu recovered, the Eternal Temple territory welcomed an uninvited guest.

At six o'clock in the morning, Su Wan was instructing new recruits at the training ground when Luo Hao rushed over, his face pale: "President, a few people have come outside. They say they are representatives of the Ye family and want to see you."

"The Ye family?" Su Wan put down the bone spear in her hand. "They've finally arrived."

"The newcomers are not friendly." Luo Hao lowered his voice. "The leader is a middle-aged man. I can't detect his level, but he's at least level 30 or higher."

Moreover... they arrived in a military helicopter, accompanied by personnel from the Jiangcheng military.

Su Wan's eyes narrowed: "Military personnel accompanying them?"

"Yes, Captain Chen Guodong is also there, but he looks very unwell; he must have been forced to lead the way."

"Understood." Su Wan straightened her clothes. "Have them go to the conference room; I'll be there right away."

Five minutes later, Su Wan pushed open the conference room door.

There were four people sitting inside. The middle-aged man in the main seat was about forty years old, wearing a well-tailored black suit, with a dignified face and sharp eyes.

Two bodyguards stood behind him, both warriors around level 30.

Chen Guodong sat to the side and gave Su Wan a complicated look when she came in.

"You're Su Wan?" the middle-aged man asked in a deep voice.

"It's me. And you are?"

"The Ye family, Ye Zhennan." The middle-aged man announced his name, "Ye Hongyu's uncle, the current head of the Ye family."

Su Wan's pupils contracted slightly. The head of the Ye family had come in person; it seemed the situation was more serious than he had imagined.

"Please have a seat." Su Wan pulled out a chair and sat down. "I was unaware of Patriarch Ye's presence. What brings you here?"

"I wouldn't presume to offer advice," Ye Zhennan said calmly. "I'm here to take my niece home. I heard she was injured and is recuperating here?"

"Indeed."

"Then please let her out." Ye Zhennan's tone left no room for doubt. "The Ye family will give her the best treatment; outsiders don't need to worry about it."

Su Wan smiled: "Patriarch Ye, Hongyu is already an adult. It's her freedom to choose where she wants to recuperate."

"Freedom?" A cold glint flashed in Ye Zhennan's eyes. "Young man, I admire your courage, but you must understand that some things are not up to you."

Hongyu is the eldest daughter of the Ye family, and her marriage is crucial to the family's future. The Wang family has been urging them several times; the wedding must proceed as scheduled.

"What if she doesn't want to?"

"That's not up to her." Ye Zhennan stood up, his aura imposing. "Su Wan, I've investigated you."

A rising star in Jiangcheng, a necromancer, and the guild master of the Eternal Temple; he's got some skills.

But you should know that the Ye family has a century-old heritage; it's not something a nouveau riche like you can contend with. Hand over the red fish, and I can pretend nothing happened.

"Otherwise what?"

"Otherwise..." Ye Zhennan sneered, "there would be no need for the Eternal Temple to exist."

Before he finished speaking, his two bodyguards stepped forward simultaneously, unleashing a level 30 aura of pressure. The temperature in the conference room plummeted, and even the air felt thick and sticky.

But Su Wan was not afraid at all. He slowly stood up, and the dark gold patterns on his left arm glowed slightly.

"Patriarch Ye, I respect you as my elder," Su Wan said, enunciating each word clearly, "but this is the Eternal Temple, my territory. Threatening me here is not a wise choice."

Although Su Wan was only level 20 at this time, with his various trump cards, if he went all out, he was confident that he could defeat even a professional with a level 40 or higher.

"Oh?" Ye Zhennan raised an eyebrow. "You think you can stop me?"

"You can give it a try."

The atmosphere was tense and ready to fight.

Seeing this, Chen Guodong quickly tried to smooth things over: "Patriarch Ye, Chairman Su, let's talk this out. We're all friends, there's no need for that..."

"Captain Chen, you have no right to speak here," Ye Zhennan interrupted. "I've already spoken to the military; you're not to interfere in today's matter."

Chen Guodong's face was grim, but he didn't say anything more. Clearly, the Ye family's influence was greater than he had imagined.

Just as the two sides were at an impasse, the meeting room door was pushed open.

Ye Hongyu walked in.
