Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

"You, you coward! You're the eldest son of the Ximen family, the future head of the family! Can't you have some backbone? They tell you to marry him, so you just marry him? Are you trying to drive me crazy?" Ye Ningxue paced back and forth in the room, furious.

When Ximen Tianyang heard Ye Ningxue rebuke him like this, he could only sigh heavily, because even if he had backbone, he couldn't change anything.

In families like theirs, the children have no way to rebel against the family.

"Isn't there no other way? I can roughly guess what the family is thinking. They are arranging a marriage alliance. After all, things are in chaos on the Nine Heavens Holy Land side. Isn't the Blazing Sun Valley trying to find another way out?" Ximen Tianyang explained.

"I'm not listening to your nonsense. I'm telling you, if you let that little bitch into the house, I'll divorce you." Ye Ningxue said angrily.

Ximen Tianyang rolled his eyes.

"It won't do you any good if you divorce me. Your family will probably be even happier if you do," Ximen Tianyang reminded him.

This sentence reminded Ye Ningxue.

"Eh? Yeah, if I divorce you, wouldn't that little bitch become your rightful wife? Ugh... so annoying. Your Ximen family is just taking advantage of my family's weakness. They don't care about my feelings at all. They only informed me after we were about to get married. It's outrageous!" Ye Ningxue was furious.

Indeed, she noticed yesterday that the Ximen family was suddenly decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and thought someone was getting married. Before she could even ask, Ximen Tianyang's mother, who was also her adoptive mother-in-law, came to tell her with a smile that she was going to have another younger sister.

At first she didn't understand, but later, she realized what it meant, and naturally she immediately reacted.

However, this cheap mother-in-law, seeing Ye Ningxue's outburst, naturally didn't bother with pretense and directly berated Ye Ningxue for not bearing offspring for the direct descendants of the Ximen family, leaving Ye Ningxue speechless.

"I'm not going to live anymore. You wait and see. If you dare to marry him, I'll go to the place where you had your wedding and kill myself. I'll haunt you even as a ghost." Ye Ningxue was helpless. If she had a way, she wouldn't have thrown a tantrum in front of Ximen Tianyang.

She's all alone in the Ximen family, no one can help her. Besides, even if her family has connections, how could the Ye family possibly interfere with the Ximen family's decisions?

"I, Xiaoxue, can guarantee that I will absolutely not go to the wedding ceremony, but the problem is, as you understand, this won't change anything," Ximen Tianyang said with a wry smile.

That's true. These so-called wedding ceremonies are just a formality, something to show the cultivation world of Xichuan. It won't be over just because Ximen Tianyang doesn't go through with the ceremony. They have plenty of ways to get through the process.

Ye Ningxue may throw a tantrum, but she's not a brainless woman.

"Oh! Why is my life so miserable?" Ye Ningxue sat down listlessly, not wanting to say anything more.

Ximen Tianyang understood that at this point, saying anything more would be useless, and he could only try his best to comfort Ye Ningxue.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun and his group finally arrived at Ximen Mountain. However, they encountered many cultivators who came to Ximen Mountain along the way, including some cultivators at the Transformation Realm.

"Strange, they must all be going to the Ximen family. What big show is the Ximen family having today? Why are so many people here?" Ye Liuyun was a little confused.

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, then asked Jiang Wanshan to stop a cultivator and ask about the situation.

With Jiang Wanshan's cultivation level, it was naturally very easy for him to find someone to ask. After learning everything, he hurriedly returned to tell Ye Liuyun.

“My lord, it is Ximen Tianyang, the eldest son of the Ximen family, who is getting married,” Jiang Wanshan explained.

Ye Liuyun was taken aback.

"Ximen Tianyang? Ximen Yang? Impossible! Didn't he marry my sister? How could he take another wife? Shouldn't he be taking a concubine?" Ye Liuyun asked, looking puzzled.

However, we need to confirm this to know for sure, since it might not be the same person.

Ye Liuyun transformed back into a man's appearance once again, which puzzled Ye Fei, who was standing to the side.

"Mother, why did you suddenly turn into a man?" Ye Fei asked in confusion.

Ye Liuyun didn't know how to explain it to Ye Fei, so she whispered.

"Xiao Fei, remember, don't say anything carelessly later. I have important things to do."

Although Ye Fei didn't understand what Ye Liuyun was going to do, she was still capable of obeying his orders. So she nodded seriously to Ye Liuyun, promising that she wouldn't say anything out of line.

After everything was ready, Ye Liuyun flew towards Ximen Mountain. However, there were many people there today, and it wasn't easy to just enter. There were powerful members of the Ximen family checking invitations at the entrance, and only those with invitations could enter.

However, Ye Liuyun is here to visit relatives. She is Ye Ningxue's younger brother. He should be able to explain his purpose without needing an invitation.

Chapter 452 The Ximen Incident (Part 1) (6000 words)

With a smile on his face, Ye Liuyun arrived at the entrance to Ximen Mountain.

These disciples of the Ximen family were all very enthusiastic as they checked the invitations of the guests attending the wedding. They would arrange for disciples of equal status to receive the guests based on the guests' cultivation level and the level of the invitations.

After observing for a while, Ye Liuyun walked over.

"Hello, fellow Daoist." Ye Liuyun stepped forward and greeted a Foundation Establishment stage disciple with a cupped hand.

The other person glanced at Ye Liuyun, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, as if he didn't want to pay attention to Ye Liuyun. However, when he saw Jiang Wanshan standing behind Ye Liuyun, his attitude softened slightly.

"Oh, young master, what brings you here? Our Ximen family is celebrating a momentous occasion today. If you are not an invited guest, please come another day." The young man from the Ximen family replied politely, but his arrogant demeanor was unmistakable.

Ye Liuyun didn't bother to dwell on the guy's attitude. After all, the other party didn't know his identity and only judged him by his cultivation level, so that was bound to be his attitude.

"Oh, fellow Daoist, I come from Qixia Town in Nanling. Your family must have a lady named Ye Ningxue, right?" Ye Liuyun asked politely.

Upon hearing the name Ye Ningxue, the young man from the Ximen family was taken aback. He then carefully examined Ye Liuyun and noticed that she looked remarkably similar to the eldest young mistress of the Ximen family.

"Eh? Who are you?" The young man immediately became cautious.

After all, if it were someone from their eldest young mistress's family, then a mere collateral disciple like him certainly couldn't afford to offend them.

"Oh, my name is Ye Liuyun, and I am Ye Ningxue's younger brother. Please allow me to announce my arrival." Ye Liuyun introduced himself.

The young man was quite surprised when he heard Ye Liuyun claim to be the younger brother of their eldest young mistress. Of course, it was the first time he had met Ye Liuyun, so he wasn't sure, but judging from the other man's appearance, he probably wasn't joking.

"Really? Well, please wait a moment, Your Excellency, I'll go and ask for instructions." The young man politely returned the greeting, then hurriedly went to find a middle-aged man who was receiving important figures.

The middle-aged man was a cultivator at the Divine Form Realm.

"Lord Ximen Su, I have something to say." The young man walked up to the middle-aged man and whispered a few words in his ear.

When the middle-aged man heard that Ye Ningxue's family had come, he was momentarily confused, because they certainly hadn't invited any members of Ye's family, and even if they wanted to, they couldn't find anyone to talk to.

However, they knew that Ye Ningxue had two older sisters, one from the Dongfang family and the other from the Nangong family, but because this matter was somewhat humiliating, they did not inform her.

“Strange, we didn’t send invitations to the Ye family, so why would they come to our door on their own initiative? And this couldn’t possibly have been arranged by the eldest young mistress.” After thinking for a while, Ximen Su gestured for the young man to help him greet the guests.

Although he knew that Ye Ningxue's family was just an ordinary family in the secular world, it was only because Ye Ningxue's grandmother had an extraordinary status that his daughter was able to join their Ximen family and become the legitimate wife of the eldest son of the direct line.

However, many members of the Ximen family were unaware of this matter.

Of course, even if they didn't care about the Ye family, they would still have to confirm it for the sake of the Dongfang and Nangong families.

The middle-aged man quickly arrived in front of Ye Liuyun, but upon arriving, he was first intimidated by Jiang Wanshan's aura.

"I can't see through this person's cultivation level? Such a powerful aura." Ximen Su was startled.

But what puzzled him was that such a powerful figure was standing in a lower position. What does "lower position" mean? It means the position where a servant stands.

This positioning is very important in this world. It's a way of clearly telling the other person who I am and who the person standing in front of me is.

"Young master, my name is Ximen Su. Are you the younger brother of my eldest young mistress?" Ximen Su asked politely.

In fact, he was already certain of the other person's identity. They looked so similar to Ye Ningxue that they must be related by blood.

"Oh, senior, I am Ye Liuyun, and Ye Ningxue is my third sister. Because I entered the cultivation world, I haven't seen my third sister for many years. After I completed my studies, I learned from my eldest sister in the Nangong family that my third sister was in the Ximen family in Xichuan, so I came here to visit her." Ye Liuyun explained the situation clearly.

Ye Liuyun's words were so flawless that it would be difficult for Ximen Su to doubt his identity.

"I see. Well, Young Master Ye, please wait a moment while I inform the eldest young mistress and the eldest young master." Ximen Su could only inform them first; he couldn't just let the person in directly, since Ye Liuyun's identity still needed to be confirmed.

Ye Liuyun understood this principle, so he waited patiently.

Ximen Su immediately went to the side and used a communication magic item to contact Ye Ningxue, who was having a tiff with Ximen Tianyang at her residence.

Of course, Ye Ningxue had lost interest in arguing with Ximen Tianyang at this point. She lay on the bed with her back to Ximen Tianyang, sulking.

But at that moment, her identity token suddenly trembled violently. Ye Ningxue picked it up and glanced at it. Upon seeing it, she looked like someone who had just died and was suddenly startled, and let out a loud cry of surprise.

"Eh..." Ye Ningxue suddenly sat up, her face full of disbelief.

Her strong reaction startled Ximen Tianyang, who was standing nearby.

Ximen Tianyang was also feeling troubled.

"Hey, elementary school, why such a big reaction? What happened?" Simon Tianyang asked quickly.

However, Ye Ningxue ignored him and disappeared from Ximen Tianyang's sight as quickly as possible, turning into a blur.

Ximen Tianyang thought Ye Ningxue was having a mental breakdown and was going to cause trouble, so he quickly chased after her.

"Xiaoxue, where are you going? Wait for me! Let's talk this out. Don't do anything foolish!" Ximen Tianyang shouted as he chased after her.

However, Ye Ningxue was too excited to pay any attention to Ximen Tianyang.

"That brat Liu Yun is here? Impossible! How did he know I was here? Did he see Big Sister and she told him?" Ye Ningxue was excited but also puzzled.

After all, none of the three sisters had told Ye Liuyun about their affairs, so he had some doubts.

Seeing the Ximen family's festive decorations everywhere, Ye Ningxue felt very wronged, but she could actually understand the Ximen family's actions.

After all, the Ximen family is not a purely cultivation family; they place great importance on inheritance.

However, this matter is actually Ximen Tianyang's own problem, because Ximen Tianyang's physique is unusual, unlike that of Nangong Hui and Dongfang Lin.

He started cultivating from the very beginning because he had good aptitude for cultivation, and it would be a waste not to cultivate. Once he started cultivating, it became very difficult for him to have children.

"Damn it, it's clearly your own problem, but you make me bear the consequences, you bastards." Ye Ningxue became angrier and angrier as she thought about it, and she felt like crying.

Ye Ningxue is a passionate person who cannot hide her emotions.

Soon, Ye Ningxue flew across the canyon and arrived at the West Gate Pass. Once there, she quickly looked around and soon spotted a familiar face.

After so long apart, Ye Liuyun must have changed a bit, but not by much, and Ye Ningxue still recognized him at a glance.

"You brat!" Ye Ningxue shouted excitedly towards Ye Liuyun's location, and then immediately flew over.

Upon hearing this sound, Ye Liuyun immediately looked towards the location of the West Gate Pass. There, he saw a long-lost figure flying towards him.

"Hey? Third Sister." Ye Liuyun immediately waved to Ye Ningxue with a smile.

Ye Ningxue was quite direct; in front of so many people, she threw herself into Ye Liuyun's arms, and Ye Liuyun quickly hugged his sister back.

Among the older sisters, Ye Liuyun and Ye Ningxue have the best relationship because they are the closest in age and spend the most time together. Ye Ningxue is only three years older than Ye Liuyun, so she doesn't have the same sense of elder as Ye Ninglu and Ye Ningshuang.

The people around were stunned, especially the Ximen family. Their young mistress was openly embracing a strange man, which must have confused them greatly.

"This is the eldest young mistress, isn't it? How can she be hugging and cuddling with another man in broad daylight? This is outrageous! Isn't this disgracing the Ximen family?" Some Ximen family disciples, after their initial shock, expressed their dissatisfaction.

As for Ximen Su, upon seeing Ye Ningxue's behavior, he knew that Ye Liuyun's identity was correct, so he immediately glanced at the Ximen family members.

"Shut up! Are you blind? Can't you tell that this young master is a relative of the eldest young mistress?" Ximen Su shouted angrily.

Upon hearing this, the disciples took a closer look at Ye Liuyun. Sure enough, they found that Ye Liuyun and their eldest young mistress looked like twins, with an extremely high degree of resemblance.

Let's take another look at Ye Liuyun's place.

"Oh dear, Third Sister, so many people are watching. Aren't you afraid of being gossiped about?" Ye Liuyun glanced at the surrounding gazes out of the corner of her eye and then said awkwardly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ningxue immediately turned her head to look at the Ximen family scions who were staring at her with astonishment.

"What are you looking at? This is my own brother. Do you have a problem with that?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Ximen family quickly looked away.

"Third sister, it's been decades. You haven't changed much. You still have a fiery temper," Ye Liuyun teased after looking Ye Ningxue up and down.

The last time they met, Ye Ningxue was like a little girl, but this time she has matured a lot, after all, she is already a married woman.

"Bullshit, I've clearly gotten older. I'm 103 years old this year!" Ye Ningxue complained, touching her face.

"Not old at all, not old at all. I'm 103 years old and still look like a young girl. Can you call that old? Hehe." Ye Liuyun chuckled.

"Tch! You're so sweet-talking. Come on, let's not talk anymore, come inside with me." Ye Ningxue let go of Ye Liuyun, then grabbed Ye Liuyun's hand and prepared to enter the Ximen family.

However, as she was leaving, she suddenly saw Ye Fei holding a little monkey and Jiang Wanshan standing to the side.

"Eh? Liu Yun, are this little girl and this senior with you?" Ye Ningxue asked, puzzled.

Ye Liuyun chuckled strangely, then pulled Ye Fei in front of him.

"Xiao Fei, call her aunt. This is your third aunt, Ye Ningxue," Ye Liuyun introduced to Ye Fei.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ningxue's expression became even more exaggerated.

"Ah...call me aunt? No way, kid, you, you and Aoxue have a child? No way? This, this, this?" Ye Ningxue was dumbfounded on the spot.

Even her younger brother has children, but she doesn't.

Ye Liuyun, seemingly teasing Ye Ningxue, nodded with a smile without offering any explanation.

"Hey, Third Aunt." Ye Fei greeted Ye Ningxue shyly.

Ye Ningxue immediately squatted down, looking at Ye Fei with curiosity. Ye Fei couldn't help but shrink behind Ye Liuyun because of her gaze.

"What an adorable little girl! Don't hide from me, I'm your aunt, I won't eat you." Ye Ningxue reached out and pulled Ye Fei out from behind Ye Liuyun.
