Chapter 67: I'll Accompany You

  "We also disagree with you going alone into the three major family elders' courtyard, it's like going to stir up a hornet's nest, this is absolutely not allowed." The elders also opposed.

  "Yes, the elder and the master of the house are right, Ye Chen. You can't go on this adventure." Those in charge also said that now Ye Chen is the strongest fighter in the Ye family. If something happens to him, the Ye family will really be finished. How can they face the crazy counterattack from the three major families and the city master's mansion?

  Once the Ye family is destroyed, they will all die, and several people in charge naturally don't want Ye Chen to take risks anymore.

  "Elders, younger uncles, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I've already made up my mind. At dawn, I'll go to the Three Family Elders' Institute to meet those old guys who have been in seclusion for years." Ye Chen's words were firm and powerful, his decisions were not something that anyone could sway.

  "Chen Er, you..." Ye Xiao Tian wanted to say something else, but when he saw the look and eyes of Ye Chen, he knew that he couldn't stop him. The words he wanted to say were swallowed back.

  Several elders remained silent for a while before sighing, "Ye Chen, you must be careful this time. The hope of the family is on your shoulders, and safety should be the top priority."

  Ye Chen nodded and said: "Elder, uncle, you can rest assured, I won't have any problems."

  Before long, Ye Yan walked in, didn't say a word and went straight to Ye Chen's side, pulled her up and headed out.

  "Yan Jie, what's wrong?" Ye Chen asked in confusion.

  "It's nothing." Ye Yan gave him a glance and said, "Look at you, covered in blood, dirty and smelly. Don't you need to take a bath and change your clothes? After washing up clean, get some good rest, you must be exhausted."

  "Uh... okay." Ye Chen looked at his clothes that were stiff with dried blood and let Ye Yan pull him towards a quiet little courtyard.

  Arriving at this small courtyard, Ye Chen only then discovered that this small courtyard was where Ye Yan lived, and couldn't help but look at her in confusion. "Yan jie, didn't you tell me to bathe and refresh myself? Why did you bring me to your small courtyard?"

  "Hah, today you're bathing in my sister's boudoir." Ye Yan couldn't help but laugh, and then with a hint of teasing, said: "How about that, aren't you lucky? Not even Father has entered Sister's boudoir before, and yet you're the only man to have entered it."

  "Hmm... doesn't that make me very honored?" Ye Chen rubbed his nose, not minding bathing in Ye Yan's boudoir at all, and followed her into the dining hall.

  Ye Yan's boudoir had several rooms, with a small hall outside. To the left was a room specially used for bathing, and to the right was her bedroom.

  As soon as he entered, Ye Chen asked, a faint fragrance, exactly the same as the scent on Ye Yan's body, with a hint of a gentle and elegant feminine scent.

  "Come on, the hot water is already prepared for you." Ye Yan smiled and said, looking at Ye Chen who was looking around.

  "Yan Jie, it's been a long time since I came here. I've already forgotten how long it's been." Ye Chen was slightly dazed, but in fact he had only been to Yan Yan's place in his past dreams. Everything here remained unchanged, just like before.

  "Hmph, you still have the nerve to say that." Ye Yan said with a pretended tone of resentment: "Chen brother, you've grown up and become distant from your sister. You seem to have forgotten, but I've been counting the days - it's already been two years since you last came here."

  Ye Yan said, pointing to a potted flower on the upper left side of the small hall: "Do you see that pot of flowers? This was given by you five years ago. Sister has been carefully taking care of it all along. Unfortunately, this younger brother has already forgotten, right?"

  "How could this be? How could I have forgotten?" Ye Chen was drenched in sweat, and no matter how he listened to Ye Yan's tone, it sounded resentful, like a wronged woman who had been abandoned for a long time, giving Ye Chen the urge to flee.

  However, Ye Chen really couldn't remember that potted plant. Five years ago? Five years ago he hadn't arrived in this world yet, and the one who sent the potted plant wasn't him either, but the previous Ye Chen.

  "Hmph! Sister won't blame you." Ye Yan said with a smile, and there was an inexplicable flavor in her smile. "Actually, sister knows why she hasn't come here for the past two years. Ah, little guy has grown up, become shy, and doesn't want to take a bath with sister together anymore."

  Sweat finally dripped down Ye Chen's forehead. Memories in dreams were indeed full of blanks, and it wasn't until now that he heard Ye Yan say this that he knew why Ye Chen hadn't come here for two years. It turned out that from childhood to adulthood, Ye Yan had always bathed with that Ye Chen, and as that Ye Chen grew older, he understood the difference between men and women, and avoided bathing with Ye Yan like a snake or scorpion, which was why he stopped coming to this small courtyard.

  Thinking of this, Ye Chen looked at Ye Yan and said weakly: "Yan sister, that... today you won't want to take a bath with me together, will you?"

  "Hmph, you're thinking beautifully now, wanting to take a bath with your sister? Sister is afraid you'll get a nosebleed." Ye Yan smiled and said: "You're all grown up now, no longer a child, still want to take advantage of your sister?"

  Upon hearing this, Ye Chen finally felt a sense of relief in his heart. He was really afraid that Ye Yan would bathe with him together. Just thinking about being in the same wooden tub as a naked and beautiful woman made him feel like he was going to spit blood.

  What kind of feelings did this nominal elder sister and the former Ye Chen have? They even took a bath together, although that Ye Chen was still young at the time. But men and women are different after all. Ye Chen glanced at Ye Yan and didn't think much about it, striding towards the bathroom.

  As he walked into the room, the first thing that caught his eye was a screen with two mandarin ducks embroidered on it, playing in the water. Ye Chen walked around it and saw a large wooden bucket with a diameter of one meter, filled to the brim with hot water, emitting waves of heat that warmed up the entire room.

  Ye Chen was about to undress when his hand suddenly stopped, and he turned around to look at Ye Yan who had followed him in. He said awkwardly: "Yan Jie, you go out first, I'll be done washing soon."

  "Your whole body is covered in blood, every inch of you. Can you wash it off yourself?" Ye Yan scolded, "Let sister help you wash."

  As she spoke, she reached out to untie Ye Chen's belt. Ye Chen retreated several steps back, his eyes wide with alarm, until he bumped into a wooden bucket and stopped. Panting heavily, he looked at Ye Yan and said: "Sister Yan, I'll do it myself, I'm already this old, can't even take a bath properly?"

  "Less nonsense." Ye Yanjiao scolded, with a commanding tone, saying: "Don't move, let sister help you take off your dirty clothes."

  "Look at you, your whole body is covered in dried blood, it's a wonder if you can wash yourself clean." Ye Yan said as she tossed Ye Chen's bloody clothes aside.

  "Uh..." Ye Chen had never encountered such a situation before, and it made him feel deeply powerless. If it were any other woman, he would have thrown her out directly, but facing Ye Yan, he couldn't and didn't dare to do so. He looked outside and said, "This... that... where's Nang'er? Call her in to help me bathe, how can I let Sister Yan serve me like this?"

  "Don't talk, quickly get into the wooden tub and take off your underwear too, you're all dirty." Ye Yan's face was slightly red, but her expression was very natural, having washed Ye Chen so many times over the years that she had long been used to it.

  "Alright, I'll give in to you today." Ye Chen said weakly after glancing at Ye Yan.

  After finishing, he jumped into the wooden bucket, splashing water flowers, sat inside, and took off his underwear, throwing it on the ground. The misty water vapor covering his perfect body, with the cover of the water vapor, Ye Chen's embarrassment and awkwardness in his heart decreased a bit.

  "Pfft!"

  Ye Chen covered her mouth, and then blushed with anger, "What's wrong with you, saying it like I'm some kind of female pervert? Can't you see that all I did was help you take a bath? Your sister has done this for you hundreds of times before."

  "Yes, yes." Ye Chen didn't dare say more. He had always been at a loss for words in front of Ye Yan, because women were unreasonable and it was futile to try to reason with them - anyone who tried must have their head squeezed by the door frame.

  "Yan Jie, can you help me wash it? The water will be cold later." Seeing Ye Yan not moving, just staring at herself, Ye Chen had a feeling of entering the tiger's den.

  Her face was smiling, her smile as beautiful as a flower, and there was a gentle color in her eyes. She picked up a silk handkerchief and carefully wiped the bloodstains on Ye Chen's body with a very light and soft movement, which made Ye Chen feel his heart beating faster.

  Ye Yan's hands were soft and slender, tender and white as jade, occasionally touching Ye Chen's skin, making this hot-blooded man's heart flutter with excitement. The feeling was almost impossible to suppress, Ye Chen broke out in a cold sweat, not wanting Ye Yan to see his embarrassing state, he quickly closed his eyes and sat still like an old monk.

  Looking at Ye Chen's appearance, Ye Yan's sexy soft lips slightly curled up, and a hint of smile appeared. The atmosphere in the room was somewhat ambiguous, and Ye Chen sitting in the wooden barrel felt even more uneasy.

  At this time, the atmosphere in Lin City's three major families and the city master's mansion was extremely heavy. The people of the three major families were all pale as if they had lost their souls. They could not have imagined that this joint attack on the Ye family would end like this. Several elders at the ninth level of the peak died, including the family masters who fell outside the Ye family's main courtyard.

  The three major families temporarily elected the head of the house, with a painful face, said to the main family members in the hall: "Tonight I will go to the family elder's house to kneel and ask the ancestors, as long as they come out, the Ye family will be destroyed. This deep blood feud must be washed away tomorrow."

  Castle Lord's Mansion.

  The city master, Jiang Xingyun, also looked ugly, and he didn't have much feeling about the death of his subordinates. What he was most worried about now was that Ye Chen would take action against his City Master's Mansion before the strong men from Wangcheng arrived at the Guardian Hall. Based on Ye Chen's performance today, even if all the masters in his mansion came out, they would still find it difficult to resist.

  In the study, Jiang Xingyun paced back and forth, finally gritted his teeth, took big strides out of the study, and went straight to the smallest courtyard in the deepest part of the city lord's mansion.

  This small courtyard was overgrown with weeds everywhere, and the buildings were covered in dust, clearly no one had entered for a long time. It was a forbidden place in the city master's mansion, and even Jiang Xingyun rarely came here.

  In the center of the courtyard there was a two or three meter high artificial hill, Jiang Xingyun walked over and reached out to twist something on a protruding rock.
