She opened her thin lips slightly and slowly said, “Since the Ye family doesn’t tolerate me, I, Ye Shu, swear that I will have nothing to do with the Ye family in this lifetime! Heaven and earth will bear witness!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the qi image of heaven and earth surged, and brilliant light flourished, forming an obscure light formation with her as the center!

At this moment, she felt a warm sensation on her palm. She turned around to see Ye Ting and Mrs. Ye holding her hand and looking at her lovingly. “Shu’er, we’ll accompany you.”

Warmth flowed into Ye Shu’s heart. She curled her lips. In her previous life, she was trained to be a cold miracle surgeon. She had no parents and was all alone. She had never felt the warmth of family before. At this moment, she felt a wonderful sensation.

Everyone was stunned as they watched the three of them swear a deadly oath. Were they crazy? They actually publicly swore to sever ties with the Ye Family!

Old Master Ye looked at her fixedly. When he saw that Ye Shu was not afraid at all and faced his suppression directly, blood streaked out from the corner of his mouth and his gaze remained cold. A golden light flashed past his glass-like eyes!

Ye Shu didn’t stay any longer. She pulled Ye Ting and Mrs. Ye away with her.

However, Old Master Ye seemed to have come to a certain realization. He stared blankly at Ye Shu’s back for a long time. His lips trembled and his face turned pale! He suddenly regretted… saying the words’ sever ties’ back then.

Everyone saw the strange expression on Old Master Ye’s face and secretly wondered why Old Master Ye had such a strange expression when he heard that they wanted to sever ties.

“That Ye Shu was just a good-for-nothing. What was Old Master Ye thinking?”

Ye Shu strode out with Ye Ying and Mrs. Ye without looking back. At this moment, the crowd became restless and someone exclaimed

“Miss Ye Shuang is back!

Ye Shu stopped in her tracks and turned to look at the source of the voice. A woman with a graceful figure was at the door. She was wearing a white dress and looked like an otherworldly fairy as she walked over step by step. She was already at the ninth stage of the Qi Refinement realm at such a young age. She was indeed outstanding among people and the aura she cultivated was also gentle and awe-inspiring.

Ye Shu looked at the culprit who murdered the Host with a faint smile. The corners of her eyes curled up. Logically speaking, the Host and Ye Shuang should be worlds apart. Why would she have the intention to murder the Host?

Sensing that Ye Shu was sizing her up, Ye Shuang turned her head around. When she saw Ye Shu, panic flashed past her eyes, but she hid it well and chatted with the crowd around her.

Ye Shu curled her lips and walked towards her. As she brushed past Ye Shuang, she said with a smile.

“I’m back.”

The gentle smile on Ye Shuang’s face suddenly froze. As she watched Ye Shu leave, the murderous intent in her eyes was evident.

Creak

She slowly pushed open the door. The desolation and dilapidation that greeted her eyes made her feel sad. The house was on the verge of collapse and overgrown with weeds. It looked like an abandoned house.

Ye Shu’s eyes flickered. It was really hard to believe that the dignified descendants of the Ye family was actually living a life that was worse than those of pigs and dogs

Seeing the look on Ye Shu’s face, Mrs. Ye sighed, her heart aching for her. “Shu-er, I’ve let you suffer. Your parents are so useless that they’re only at the fifth stage of the Qi Refinement realm now. This is why we were bullied to this extent.”

Ye Ting was also silent. His eyes were filled with pain as he sighed helplessly.

“It’s just that talent and aptitude are valued. Our natural spiritual meridians are clogged, and it’s a burden to our child.”

“Spiritual meridian blockage?” Ye Shu grasped the main point. She narrowed her eyes. In her previous life, the Meridian Opening Technique she learned seemed to be very similar to this. However, without the silver needles now, she could not apply it…

Perhaps she could visit the market tomorrow.

After a while, she smiled and said, “Father, Mother, I have a way to connect your spiritual meridians.”

Mrs. Ye was stunned for a moment before nodding at her smilingly. “Child, you were born with a congestion in your spiritual meridians. How can you be cured with medical skills? I only hope that you’ll be safe and sound.”

“At that time, I thought that you had already…” At the mention of what had happened in the past few days, Mrs. Ye’s eyes turned red, and her voice involuntarily choked up. She lowered her head to wipe her tears, and Ye Ting patted her shoulder.

“I’m already back. Stop saying such inauspicious things.”

Ye Ting paused and turned to ask Ye Shu, “Shu-er, you haven’t told us where you went these past few days.”

Ye Shu stopped smiling and looked at the two of them seriously. “Father, Mother, you must be careful of Ye Shuang.”

She told them about what happened two days ago and hid the fact that her meridians had been crippled. However, Ye Ting and Mrs. Ye were still shocked! Mrs. Ye almost fainted as she hugged Ye Shu and cried loudly.

“My Shu-er, it’s my fault for not having protected you well!”

Ye Ting was so angry that his entire body was trembling. His eyes were as dark as the coming of a storm. His lips and teeth were cold as he said, “I didn’t expect that when I saved her back then. To think I’ve actually brought calamity onto ourselves.What a vicious heart she has!”

“I’m going to kill her now!”

He felt his blood surging and his eyes turned red. He picked up the sword on the ground and rushed out but was stopped by Ye Shu.

“Father, don’t be rash. Now is not the time to take revenge.” Her eyes were calm and her voice was very rational. “There is a huge disparity between our strengths. Moreover, the Ye Family is on her side. If we go rashly, we will just be throwing our lives away..”
