Chapter 224: Chapter 86: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

Damn Ye Beiming, now he’s really in hot water.

When Yun Sheng met Yun Canglang, she knew he must have come about her origins.

Though she resented Yun Bahe, she harbored no prejudices against Uncle Yun Canglang.

"Uncle... Uncle Yun," Yun Sheng handed over a bottle of Hemostatic Agent and some clothes to Ye Beiming, speaking irritably, "Tend to your wound yourself. It’s getting late; go back to where you belong."

Ye Beiming nodded towards Yun Canglang and left seriously.

When Ye Beiming returned to his residence, Bu Jiuxiao and Cheng Bai had been waiting for a long time.

Cheng Bai, with sharp eyes, immediately noticed a few red marks resembling woman’s scratches under Ye Beiming’s sexy ribs. Combining this observation with the earlier scene of him leaving with Yun Sheng, Cheng Bai’s interest was piqued, and he grinned mischievously.

"You’re back at last. Come on, confess. How did you meet that Little Divine Doctor? Boy, you move fast. Barely acquainted for a few days and you’re already hugging and grabbing; things are pretty intense!" Cheng Bai’s comments were very blunt, making Ye Beiming quite embarrassed.

Bu Jiuxiao appeared much more composed, "Cheng Bai, stop teasing. Let Beiming talk. I don’t think it looks like they’ve just met."

This was also what puzzled Bu Jiuxiao the most; last time Ye Beiming met Yun Sheng, he seemed indifferent, but this time, especially when the girl from the Yun Family was nearly hurt, Ye Beiming obviously couldn’t sit still.

Disregarding the risk of exposing his true power, he audaciously intercepted Yun Bahe’s attack.

The girl from the Yun Family is very important to him!

Ye Beiming had grown up with them since he was young. Being detained in the Cold Palace, the only women he knew were from the palace and Chen Lianlian.

"I met her two years ago... It was she who cured my eyes," recalling the scene when they first met and the short but very warm days they spent in Banana Leaf Village, Ye Beiming’s voice inadvertently softened, and a rare tenderness surged in his eyes.

Cheng Bai and the others had known Ye Beiming for so many years, yet this was the first time they saw their good brother show such demeanour.

They immediately understood Ye Beiming had feelings for the girl from the Yun Family.

And quite deep feelings at that.

"But her identity... If she acknowledges her ancestry, perhaps you can request Emperor of Great Zhou to decree a marriage for you; you two are a reasonable match. But that girl is very stubborn. You saw how she broke with Yun Bahe today. If she doesn’t reconcile with Yun Bahe, she remains a commoner. The Royal Family cannot marry a commoner," Cheng Bai’s considerations circled back to issues of social compatibility.

In others’ eyes, Ye Beiming might just be a deposed Crown Prince.

But Cheng and Bu knew very well that Ye Beiming would not settle for being a mere prince.

Especially as the current Crown Prince of Dazhou is worthless, Ye Beiming’s rise is just a matter of time.

"Be it a commoner or a legitimate grandchild of the Yun Family, I know who she is to me. But it’s still early to talk about marriage. She is... only eight years old this year," the woman who possesses half his Magic Soul, how could she be just a mere commoner? This confidence in Yun Sheng was evident in Ye Beiming’s words.

Inside the Medicine Hall, Yun Sheng was still unaware that she had caught the eye of a certain fox. After inviting Yun Canglang to sit down and serving him tea, the uncle and niece were both silent.

"Are you... really my elder brother’s daughter? Did you say your name was Yun Sheng?" Yun Canglang’s expression turned emotional as he scrutinized Yun Sheng carefully.

"Uncle... I actually should call you Uncle, Father often mentioned you," Yun Sheng nodded.

"Where is your father now? Why hasn’t he returned to Yun Residence? Do not blame your grandfather; he’s just stubborn. After he drove your father away, he didn’t leave his room for three full days, neglecting food and drink. Your father’s courtyard has also been preserved just as it was back then," Yun Canglang also knew Yun Sheng harbored deep misunderstandings about Yun Residence.

"Uncle, I don’t blame anyone. Father left Yun Residence to protect Mother. He never thought of returning, but it was for me that he came back to Yujing. Father is currently unconscious," Yun Sheng’s voice softened when she mentioned her father, Yun Canghai.

She told Yun Canglang about the strange poison afflicting Yun Canghai.

Upon learning that his beloved brother had become like this, Yun Canglang was greatly agitated.

"What kind of poison is it? Have you had someone look at it? I know the Great National Doctor from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, how about bringing your father to him for a consultation?" After speaking, Yun Canglang realized his mistake.

He forgot that his niece herself was a Divine Doctor, skilled in Magic Potion and Ancient Medical Skill, and she even cured his own complicated trauma. If even she was helpless against the strange poison, then not even the Great National Doctor would be able to cure it if he personally came.

"This is also something Sheng’er has always been puzzled about. Father had already been severely poisoned when living in Banana Leaf Village, which proved that the poison came from outside. Uncle, do you know if Father had any enemies? If we could find the person who poisoned him, it would be much easier to treat him," Yun Sheng did not want her father to remain unconscious like this.

"Your father was bold and righteous and did not have many enemies. However, about your mother... Yun Sheng, don’t blame your Uncle for speaking ill of your mother, although initially, I did not know why your grandfather staunchly opposed your father’s and mother’s marriage, but I vaguely know that it seems your mother killed a significant figure from the Summoning Court." When Yun Canghai and Yun Bahe fell out, Yun Canglang was not in Yujing, and he hurried back as soon as he learned his brother had left the family.

But his brother had already left.

He also asked Yun Cangxue, but she was utterly unwilling to mention it.

Mother, she actually killed a significant figure from the Summoning Court?

Who exactly was that significant figure, could it be one of the top entities within the Summoning Court?

Yun Sheng had no idea about her mother, Hu Jiusheng, but considering how Bo Bo, as well as the way she had once defeated her father, suggested that her strength might even surpass her father, Yun Canghai.

From this, Yun Sheng guessed why Grandfather so strongly opposed her parents’ marriage.

The Summoning Court is the Holy Temple for summoners on Wuji Continent, gathering the continent’s most top-notch summoners.

Although due to the rarity of summoners, the Summoning Institute, a branch of the Summoning Court within the Great Zhou City, does not wield much power.

But this does not mean that the Summoning Court can be underestimated.

In fact, during a stay in Penglai Country, it was said that the power of the Summoning Court even exceeded that of the Emperor, with some even outright stating that Penglai Country was fundamentally controlled by the Summoning Court.

Yun Sheng’s mother has a mysterious background, and she herself is a summoner. Having killed a significant figure within the Summoning Court, she must confront the entirety of the Summoning Court’s pursuit.

Although Yun Residence in Great Zhou City has deep roots, compared to the unfathomable power of the Summoning Court, it can hardly resist.

It seems that the poison in Father’s body likely has something to do with the Summoning Court.
