Chapter 428 Breaking Off the Engagement

Ye Chengye was about to speak her name.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck his mind.

"Right, now, Ye Yunxiao is a great contributor to the Ye family!" m..oΓg

He looked as if he had suddenly understood something.

"In that case, I'll send someone to call her back to see you!"

He turned to leave.

"Master!"

Bi Yao quickly stopped him.

"Master, please don't do that. Miss said that if anyone asks for her, tell them she is in seclusion."

"What?"

Ye Chengye was furious.

He had just discussed with Ye Qingli.

Once Ye Yunxiao returned, he would immediately announce the annulment of her engagement with Ye Yunxiao!

Now, why was Chen Lixuan running to stop him?

"What's wrong?"

Ye Chengye asked coldly.

"It's like this."

Bi Yao lowered her head and said in a soft voice.

"Just now, someone told Master that Miss is in seclusion to cultivate. She said that once she comes out of seclusion, she will break off her engagement with the eldest young lady."

"What?"

Ye Chengye was stunned.

"Ye Qingli actually said such a thing?"

Bi Yao nodded.

"Yes. Master, as you know, Miss has always been eccentric and never listens to anyone."

"I also know that she usually causes trouble and often makes mistakes."

"But I never expected her to say she wanted to break off the engagement with our Ye family!"

Ye Chengye laughed in anger.

"This is too arrogant!"

Bi Yao said cautiously, "Should we discuss this with the eldest young lady?"

"Hmph!"

Ye Chengye snorted coldly.

"I know what my daughter is like. She disdains breaking off an engagement with just anyone!"

"She only likes our Yi Chen! This matter is settled!"

Ye Chengye turned and left.

"That's good."

Bi Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought to herself, Eldest Young Lady Ye, you truly don't know your limits.

I'll make sure to teach you a lesson when you wake up!

In Medicine King Valley, Ye Qingli was in seclusion, diligently practicing medicine.

She had obtained many precious medicinal herbs in Medicine King Valley this time.

These medicinal herbs, in her hands, had become the treasures of Medicine King Valley!

Therefore, besides eating, sleeping, cultivating, and refining pills, she had no leisure time.

Various medical books flashed through her mind at lightning speed.

Her memory was excellent.

So, with just a glance, she would remember it firmly.

Moreover, during her seclusion, she had also utilized the wondrous effects of the Medicine King Art.

All the medicinal herbs were integrated into her body, connecting with her meridians.

This elevated her understanding of pharmacology to another level.

During this period, her strength had also made some progress.

However, these were not enough to compensate for her current shortcomings.

Therefore, before she could advance,

She still needed to quickly improve her strength.

Only by improving her strength could she help her mother escape her predicament.

She had to break through to the Martial Saint realm within this period.

However, breaking through the bottleneck of the Martial Saint realm was extremely difficult.

This was because when she advanced to the peak of the Martial Venerable realm, her spiritual energy had been almost completely drained.

Her current body was even weaker than that of an ordinary person.

She was like a shriveled mummy.

She could not attract the attention of martial artists at all.

However, she would never allow her mother to be humiliated!

Therefore, she could only desperately suppress the spiritual energy within her body.

She wanted to condense her spiritual energy into pills.

However, she could not use these pills casually. She could only use them when she reached the Martial Saint realm.

However, she could not give up this opportunity to cultivate.

This was because she would also need the assistance of medicinal herbs to cultivate during her breakthrough.

If she missed this opportunity, she might never have another chance.

"No!"

She clenched her fists fiercely.

She gritted her teeth.

"I must break through to the Martial Saint realm!"

Her face was as pale as paper, her eyes were tightly shut, and her lips trembled slightly, clearly reaching the limit of her endurance.

"Master!"

Bi Yao's voice echoed in Ye Chengye's ears.

"Master, the eldest young lady is back!"

"What?"

Ye Chengye opened his eyes in surprise.

"She's back?"

"That's right, she's already standing outside the manor."

Ye Chengye quickly walked towards the door.

He wanted to see who was so audacious as to defy his orders.

"Master, wait a moment!"

Bi Yao said quickly, "Master, have you forgotten? Just now, someone delivered a letter. Master, do you want to read this letter first?"

"Oh, give it to me."

Bi Yao quickly handed over the letter.

Ye Chengye opened the letter and read its contents.

His expression instantly became incredibly complicated!

With a "slap," the letter dropped to the ground.

"What, my daughter..."

"When did this happen?"

Bi Yao said, "It was this morning. A carriage passed by outside the manor. Master, look, it stopped right at our manor gate, so I asked a servant to give this letter to Master."

"Good, good!"

Ye Chengye nodded repeatedly.

"Bi Yao, you did a very good job this time!"

"Master, you flatter me."

Bi Yao smiled faintly.

"Actually, it's all thanks to Miss that the eldest young lady was able to return safely."

"So, my daughter saved Ye Qingli?"

Ye Chengye was extremely surprised.

He had originally thought that his daughter had suffered at Ye Qingli's hands.

But he never expected that his daughter had actually saved Ye Qingli.

"Yes, the eldest young lady did say so."

Bi Yao said cautiously.

She didn't know if she was lying or telling the truth.

"Hahaha..."

"What a good girl!"

"Bi Yao, you are truly amazing!"

Ye Chengye excitedly clasped Bi Yao's hand.

"Hurry and prepare a banquet. I want to celebrate!"

"Master, I'll go now!"

Bi Yao bowed and retreated.

"Xiao He, hurry and invite the eldest young lady to the front hall!"

"Yes."

Soon, wine and food were laid out in the center of the hall.

"Father, why are you inviting me for a drink today?"

Ye Qingli sat down at the table.

"It's because I've been busy cultivating recently, so I've neglected spending time with you. Now that I've finally finished my cultivation, you should treat me to a good meal!"

"Alright, alright!"

Ye Chengye said happily.

"Father, it's so late. I think we should forget it and drink tomorrow."

"How can we do that?"

Ye Chengye said sternly, "Today is my daughter's day to return home! This is a major event for our Ye family! Regardless, we must hold a grand banquet to celebrate."

"Otherwise, people will think that our Ye family is not a place that abides by rules."

"Alright."

Ye Qingli shrugged helplessly.

She could tell that her father had decided to hold a grand banquet to celebrate.

She had no choice but to follow behind him.

"Xiao He, go and call the steward of the manor!"

"Yes, Master."

Xiao He ran out immediately.

A moment later, the steward entered with ten servants.

"Your servant pays his respects to Young Master Ye, and to the Eldest Young Lady!"

The steward bowed with his hands clasped.
