Upon hearing these words, Yue Mingkong quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at her father, Yue Feng.

  Her mind was racing, trying to discern how much truth there was in what Ye Yun had just said.

  Could it be just words, and he was actually watching her performance?

  If she didn't perform well, the days ahead might be tough...

  Mingkong was at a loss for a moment, but after a while, she made a decision.

  "No, Young Master, I... I won't go."

  She decided to be a bit more cautious; she couldn't afford to let Ye Yun develop a dislike for her at this moment.

  After all, tonight, she was supposed to attend to Ye Yun's bath.

  If she angered Ye Yun now, tonight could indeed be difficult.

  Hearing this, Ye Yun turned his head slightly and glanced at the downcast Yue Mingkong.

  Seeing that Mingkong seemed to have made up her mind, Ye Yun couldn't help but smile.

  It seemed Mingkong knew well what she should and shouldn't do.

  The previous incident had served as a significant warning for her; she knew she couldn't make such mistakes again.

  "Alright, since you're not going, I'll go meet him. Your father seems to have something to say to me."

  With that, Ye Yun suddenly stood up, took a deep look at Yue Feng below, and then walked to the side.

  Sitting among the seats, Yue Feng was like sitting on pins and needles, not knowing what to do.

  He wanted to personally apologize to Ye Yun and clear up the matter with Yue Qingshan.

  But his daughter hadn't given him any response, even though he had hinted several times.

  Feeling anxious, Yue Feng suddenly saw Ye Yun stand up above and give him a deep look.

  With just a glance, Yue Feng understood.

  The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

  He quickly stood up and walked in the same direction as Ye Yun.

  After Ye Yun left, Yue Mingkong saw her father also get up and leave. She hesitated about whether she should follow.

  "Go on."

  At this moment, Xia He gently nudged Yue Mingkong.

  Turning back to look at Xia He, Mingkong's eyes were filled with confusion.

  Xia He met Mingkong's puzzled gaze and quietly explained.

  "The Young Master just said you should go. Just go, don't overthink it, and don't doubt if the Young Master is testing you.

  He wouldn't test you. Just do what he asks, don't overthink it."

  Upon learning this, Mingkong realized that Ye Yun might not have been testing her.

  He simply wanted her to go.

  Biting her lip lightly, Mingkong quickly followed Ye Yun's steps.

  After a while, Mingkong finally caught up with Ye Yun, who was standing under a giant tree.

  At the same time, she saw her father hurrying towards them.

  She quickly quickened her pace and rushed to Ye Yun's side.

  Standing nervously behind Ye Yun, Mingkong called out softly.

  "Young Master."

  Ye Yun gave Mingkong a meaningful look and smiled.

  "What? Didn't you decide not to follow earlier? Why are you here now?"

  Faced with this question, Mingkong was momentarily speechless.

  "This..."

  She opened her mouth to say something but couldn't find the words, hesitating several times, looking slightly cute.

  "Alright, since you're here, you're here. Your father is here too, let's see what he wants to say."

  Ye Yun nodded towards Yue Feng, who was about to arrive.

  Mingkong, unable to say anything, nodded in frustration.

  "Yes."

  Soon, Yue Feng arrived in front of Ye Yun and greeted him respectfully.

  "Young Master Ye!"

  Although his cultivation was higher than Ye Yun's, the difference in status was not something cultivation could bridge.

  And Ye Yun didn't like beating around the bush; he just wanted to know why Yue Feng suddenly sought him out and what he wanted.

  "Go ahead, what do you want with me?"

  "Yes, yes, Young Master! Yue Qingshan, that traitor, has been expelled from our family. I never imagined he would dare challenge you.

  This is due to our Yue Family's lack of discipline, and I ask for your forgiveness. But all of this was his doing alone, please don't implicate our Yue Family.

  We have already issued a warrant and are doing our utmost to capture Yue Qingshan. As soon as we have any news of him, we will report it to you immediately."

  At this moment, Yue Feng was lowering his stance significantly, fearing that this incident would cause the entire Yue Family to be resented.

  He came with a mission to seek Ye Yun's forgiveness for the Yue Family and not to blame them for Yue Qingshan's actions.

  In Yue Mingkong's eyes, her father was once a very powerful figure.

  But even such a powerful person had to bow and scrape in front of Ye Yun, abandoning his dignity.

  At this moment, Mingkong suddenly realized that her pride was of no use.

  Unless her strength was truly formidable enough to ignore everything, she had to live cautiously.

  Ye Yun's strength might only be slightly greater than hers, but he could instill fear in so many families and sects because of his special status.

  And she, clearly unable to break such rules now, had to adhere to them to survive.

  Thinking of Yue Qingshan, Ye Yun almost wanted to laugh.

  He was like a Villain Points treasure, providing him with Villain Points.

  But this wasn't the right occasion to laugh, so Ye Yun maintained a straight face and replied.

  "Yue Qingshan, huh? That guy... never mind, don't worry. For Mingkong's sake, I won't hold your Yue Family accountable.

  But in the future, I hope you can restrain your family members and not cause trouble for me.

  I don't want another Yue Qingshan or some Moon Green Water popping up. You understand what I mean, right?"

  Upon hearing this, Yue Feng was overjoyed.

  He nodded vigorously.

  "Yes, yes, Young Master, rest assured, when I return, I will strictly educate the family members to recognize their status and not act recklessly.

  As for Yue Qingshan, our family will do everything to capture him. Please rest assured on that."

  At this time, it was crucial to show a positive attitude, and Yue Feng had already made plans.

  Upon returning, he would immediately arrange for several core family members to track down Yue Qingshan using the clan token he left behind, and then bring him back.

  The clan token is made for each family member at birth.

  The token is linked to the person, and if the person dies, the token shatters.
