On the way back, Shen Ye told Ye Ze, “Let’s tell Grandpa about his younger brother when we get home and let him put this worry to rest.”

Being betrayed by his own younger brother is a knot that Grandpa Ye can never get over in his lifetime. Now that he knows Ye Xiangtang was manipulated by the Wang family and the old Taoist, it can be considered a way for Grandpa Ye to let go of this burden.

Ye Ze softly agreed.

Shen Ye lazily nestled in his arms and said, “There’s one more thing I want to tell you.”

Ye Ze lowered his gaze, looking at the top of the child’s head. “Hmm?”

“Let’s go to the Qi Lian Mountains earlier.”

Ye Ze didn’t ask much and responded gently, “I’ll have Zong Yiming arrange it.”

“Mhm, it would be best to leave tomorrow. If not, the day after tomorrow will do,” Shen Ye said, sitting up from the man’s embrace.

The urgency in his voice caught Ye Ze off guard.

Originally, they had planned to go to the Qi Lian Mountains a week later and then return to Haicheng directly from there.

Shen Ye explained, “The old Taoist is in Qi Lian Mountains.”

Ye Ze narrowed his eyes, his expression becoming serious.

The old Taoist was the mastermind and the biggest enemy of the Ye family, so Ye Ze naturally cared deeply.

Shen Ye continued, “I saw a photo of the old Taoist and knew that he faked his death. Moreover, he is hiding in Qi Lian Mountains. Since we’re going to the Qi Lian Mountains anyway, I thought it would be best to stick to the planned time to find him. But now that I’ve destroyed the Gathering Yang Formation in the Taoist temple, he may not live much longer, so we need to go and capture him as soon as possible.”

Of course, he wouldn’t tell Ye Ze his speculation about the old Taoist wanting to take Ye Ze’s life force. If possible, he wanted to keep it a secret from the man.

But just the thought that the old Taoist killed Ye Ze’s parents and his uncle and aunt in order to seize Ye Ze’s life force made him wish to tear the old Taoist apart immediately.

Ye Ze tightly held Shen Ye’s hand and hoarsely said, “Then let’s go to the Qi Lian Mountains tomorrow.”

He also wanted to find the old Taoist as soon as possible to avenge his parents and uncle and aunt.

Shen Ye nodded, but then remembered something and said regretfully, “Tomorrow probably won’t work.”

Ye Ze quickly figured out what was going on.

As expected, Shen Ye sighed in frustration, “I promised Huang Ziyao that I would help cure her sister. Her sister’s condition is a bit special, so it will probably delay us for two days.”

Ye Ze touched his head and said, “It’s alright to be two days late.”

Shen Ye pouted, “I didn’t consider it carefully enough. I should have killed the old Taoist’s disciples and destroyed the Gathering Yang Formation a little later… Now it’s likely that we’ve alerted him, and he might hide somewhere else.”

At that time, he was only thinking about avenging his man’s family and didn’t consider anything else.

However, no matter where the old Taoist escaped, he would be able to find him eventually.

With that in mind, he calmed down again.

Ye Ze also trusted the child’s abilities, kissed his face, and said, “Then we’ll depart the day after tomorrow.”

“Alright.” Shen Ye embraced his neck and returned the kiss, softly responding.

When they arrived home, Ye Ze and Grandpa Ye went to the study.

After about half an hour, the two came out. Grandpa Ye’s eyes were slightly swollen as if he had cried, but his spirits had improved a lot. It was probably because he found out that his younger brother was manipulated by the old Taoist and the Wang family, and they didn’t actively compete for the family property. Grandpa Ye’s worries were alleviated, so his mental state improved.

Shen Ye couldn’t help but smile, genuinely happy for Grandpa Ye.

Ye Ze happened to look over and saw the smile on his face. His gaze paused for a moment before he walked briskly towards him.

“Grandpa knows the truth, right?” Shen Ye smiled as he met him.

Ye Ze embraced him in his arms. “Hmm,” he kissed the child’s ear, “Thank you.”

If it weren’t for the child, he wouldn’t have known where to find the Taoist for revenge, and he wouldn’t have discovered the truth of the past.

Shen Ye hugged him with a smile and said, “You have to thank me with practical actions.”

Ye Ze chuckled and whispered in his ear, “Sure, tonight.”

The man’s voice was hoarse and sexy, and his warm breath blew into Shen Ye’s ear, causing his face to turn red.

Actually, he wasn’t a shy person, but perhaps due to the recent nightly activities with the man, he found himself blushing inexplicably these days.

Could it be… the so-called “aftermath” of their activities?

Xu Ce and Mr. Wang were sitting on the nearby sofa, eating watermelon. They saw their master and madam together, and the master even blushed… They exchanged a glance and then lowered their heads to continue eating watermelon.

They had fully realized that they were constantly witnessing their master and madam’s lovey-dovey moments.

Shen Ye and Ye Ze chatted in a corner for a while, then looked at their watches and said, “Uncle, let’s go to the Huang family now.”

It was a little after four in the afternoon, and he wanted to check on Huang Ziyao’s sister’s condition first to save some time.

Ye Ze went along with whatever Shen Ye decided, so he naturally wouldn’t object.

The two of them quickly set off for the Huang family.

This time, Shen Ye didn’t bring Xu Ce and Mr. Wang along. After all, he no longer needed them to accompany him.

Huang Ziyao had received a call from Shen Ye in advance, so when Shen Ye and Ye Ze arrived at the Huang family, Huang Ziyao was already waiting at the front gate.

“Master Shen, Mr. Ye, you’ve arrived.” When she saw the two of them getting out of the car, Huang Ziyao immediately greeted them.

She had informed her family in advance about Shen Ye and Ye Ze’s visit, and since the Huang family had been trying to curry favor with the Ye family, they were eagerly waiting. Several elders from the company even rushed back specifically for this occasion.

So when Huang Ziyao led Ye Ze and Shen Ye into the living room, they saw over ten people standing there, each one respectfully greeting them.

Shen Ye: “…”

Ye Ze: “…”

This was quite a grand reception.

Huang Ziyao felt embarrassed and explained in a low voice, “This is your first visit to the Huang family, and our family members take it very seriously.”

Seeing that both Huang Ziyao and the Huang family members were polite, Shen Ye was quite satisfied and said, “It’s alright. Take me to see your sister first.”

“Alright.” Huang Ziyao immediately led the two of them upstairs.

The Huang family actually wanted to have a chat with Ye Ze as well. After all, the Ye family was prospering under Ye Ze’s leadership, and many important projects were designated to be handled by him. These kinds of projects not only brought in substantial profits but also improved relations with higher authorities and other countries.

There were countless aristocratic families in the Imperial Capital that wanted to benefit from their connection with the Ye family.

For example, the Shen and Mo families had already been at the forefront of the aristocratic families because of their close relationship with Ye Ze over the years.

The Huang family also wanted to ride on the Ye family’s coattails.

However, they knew that the main focus of this visit was for Shen Ye to treat their family member, so they restrained their urge to engage in conversation with Ye Ze.

“My sister’s room is at the far left,” Huang Ziyao introduced as she led Shen Ye and Ye Ze down the corridor.

Her sister’s name was Huang Ziqiong, in her twenties, and it was said that she had a somewhat proud personality. She had secretly admired Ye Ze for many years.

Shen Ye didn’t see Huang Ziqiong as a rival. After all, Ye Ze couldn’t even remember what she looked like. There was no need for him to make trouble out of nothing.

Moreover, there were so many people who liked Ye Ze. If he were to get jealous of each one of them, he would drown in a sea of jealousy.

Huang Ziyao pushed open the door, and Shen Ye immediately saw Huang Ziqiong on the bed.

More precisely, there was only a mass of black mist on the bed, and Huang Ziqiong was completely engulfed in a thick black aura, making it impossible to see her body or face.

Shen Ye narrowed his eyes; as he had expected, Huang Ziqiong’s condition was very serious.

He thought for a moment and turned his head to look at Ye Ze. “Uncle, did you notice anything?”

Last time, Ye Ze could see the source of Yin Qi, and this time it was a black aura. He wondered if Ye Ze could see it.

Ye Ze stared at Huang Ziqiong on the bed for a while, then nodded. “Black aura.”

Shen Ye happily grabbed his sleeve. “You can see it after all!”

It seemed like his partner had become even more powerful.

At this moment, Huang Ziyao, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, “Black aura?”

As an ordinary person, she only saw Huang Ziqiong lying there, looking haggard, without any black aura.

Shen Ye didn’t explain but simply said, “Let me take a look.”

He walked to the bedside and looked down at Huang Ziqiong.

Huang Ziqiong’s face was pale as paper as if she had been made up before dying, making her look particularly terrifying.

Huang Ziyao took a quick glance but fearfully looked away.

Although it was her sister lying on the bed, her sister looked too horrifying. She didn’t dare to look for too long.

However, Shen Ye showed no fear as he examined Huang Ziqiong’s face.

Huang Ziqiong’s face was very pale, but her vital energy palace emitted a strong black aura, slowly devouring her soul.

She had already lost one soul and one spirit. If it was delayed for another half month, her remaining soul would be completely consumed, and she would immediately perish.

What was even more serious was that even after death, she might emit grudges and harm others.

“Why didn’t you take her to the hospital?” Shen Ye casually asked.

Huang Ziyao hesitated, “I… I’m not sure…”

Taking care of her sister at home was a decision made by the elders, and as a younger generation, she was not aware of their thoughts.

Coincidentally, the elders of the Huang family had all come upstairs. Upon hearing Shen Ye’s question, Patriarch Huang spoke, “It’s not that we didn’t want to take her to the hospital. It’s our family doctor who said that her condition should not be moved.”

Shen Ye nodded and retracted his gaze, saying, “Summon your family doctor and bring me Huang Ziqiong’s medical records.”

“Medical records?” Huang Ziyao found it extremely strange. Shen Master wasn’t a doctor, so why did he want to see medical records?

Shouldn’t a Taoist priest use talismans and techniques to treat people?

However, the Huang elders weren’t too foolish and vaguely guessed that Huang Ziqiong’s condition might be related to the family doctor. So they immediately had the servant bring the doctor over.

“Take this talisman with you,” Shen Ye said. “Without the talisman, you won’t be able to bring him here.”

This statement confirmed what everyone had in mind, and the expressions of the Huang family members turned somewhat grim.

“Master, are you… trying to tell us that the doctor has a problem?” Huang Patriarch pondered for a few seconds and cautiously asked.

Shen Ye didn’t deny it and said, “You’ll know when he arrives.”

The Huang elders looked at each other, unsure of what to say, and could only wait quietly on the side.

At this moment, Huang Ziyao also figured out what was going on. She suddenly exclaimed, “I remember, my sister seemed to be in a relationship with Dr. Liu!”

As soon as she said this, the Huang elders turned their gaze toward her.

“What’s going on?” her mother grabbed her arm and anxiously asked.

“I… I happened to witness my sister and Dr. Liu arguing once. My sister asked Dr. Liu to go find his ex-girlfriend,” Huang Ziyao said weakly, not daring to look at the elders’ expressions.

The Huang family had always wanted to marry Huang Ziqiong to Ye Ze. Even if they couldn’t climb up to Ye Ze, they could still form an alliance with other prestigious families. They couldn’t possibly allow Huang Ziqiong to be in a relationship with the family doctor.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Huang Ziqiong kept her relationship with Dr. Liu a secret from her family.

“But wait, isn’t your sister secretly in love with my husband?” Shen Ye squinted at Huang Ziyao.

Huang Ziyao faltered, “…She couldn’t pursue Mr. Ye, so she moved on to someone else.”

Shen Ye: “…”
