Xi Yun, a powerful cultivator, attempted to kill Ye Chen, but was interrupted by Lin Jianqing's sudden arrival. With Elder Huang also present and Tang You guarding outside, Ye Chen saw an opportunity for negotiation. Exposing his Spirit Moon Dharma Body and Moon Liquid Spirit Marrow, Ye Chen revealed a hidden heritage that made Xi Yun reconsider his actions, as harming Ye Chen could provoke a royal family dispute.

He smiled at Ye Chen with an excited expression and said, "Nephew, it seems I’ve misunderstood previously! Now I understand, I understand everything!"

At this moment, Xi Yun seemed to have forgotten about his own son completely!

He directly addressed Ye Chen as nephew?

Everyone was taken aback by his words, especially Xi Xunlu, who looked like he was about to cry. How could his own father call the guy who held a sword to his neck nephew?

Even Ye Chen himself had a flash of puzzlement in his eyes. Xi Yun’s change in attitude was too abrupt!

Also, he said he understood, but what did he understand?

Ye Chen hadn’t said anything yet!

Xi Yun smiled and said, "Nephew, you’ve suffered a lot outside these years, right? Have you come specifically to see me this time?"

Speaking of which, he glanced sternly at Xi Xunlu and said, "It’s not easy to see me, which is why you sought help from the Beihan Commerce, trying to find me through this brat, right? Except, this f*cking brat is useless and probably caused you trouble over a woman, nearly causing a major disaster!"

Xi Xunlu felt utterly helpless. How could his own father side with an outsider in front of him?

The hostage was Xi Xunlu, after all!

Ye Chen’s expression became somewhat strange, as things seemed to be developing in an unexpected direction. However, he didn’t rush to refute and wanted to see what else Xi Yun had to say.

Moreover, Xi Yun wasn’t entirely wrong.

However, suddenly mentioning suffering outside was somewhat confusing...

Xi Yun’s attitude right now was really as if he had truly taken Ye Chen as his own family member...

Xi Yun seemed to speak with relish, reminiscing with a complex smile, "When you exhibited the Spirit Moon Dharma Body, I should have remembered back then. My elder brother disappeared due to an accident in the Chenyue Sea, and many speculated he had gone beyond. The Elder Council established a rule that no one from the Chenyue Sea, especially those from the royal family, could interfere with outside matters; otherwise, they would be expelled from the Chenyue Sea forever...

My elder brother should not be able to return, but you are different. You are of Xi family bloodline, though born outside, you have the qualification to declare your ancestry and return to the Chenyue Sea!

Back then, my elder brother always told me he wanted to go out to find the Moon Liquid Spirit Marrow. Now, you’ve finally brought this Spiritual Marrow back!"

Everyone in the Snow Building was stunned by these words!

Did Ye Chen just gain an uncle out of nowhere?

And instantly became a member of the Chenyue Sea royal family?

Xi Yun looked at Ye Chen with an extremely gentle gaze and said, "Nephew, in the future, if you don’t mind, consider this Red Sea as your home!"

Being addressed by Xi Yun in this way, Ye Chen coughed lightly, not denying anything.

Why deny it?

Forming a familial relationship with Xi Yun is obviously more advantageous than a transactional one for acquiring the Hua Yue Treasure Box!

Plus, there’s no cost involved!

In Xi Yun’s view, since Ye Chen is a member of the Xi family, whether the Moon Liquid Spirit Marrow stays with Ye Chen or him makes no difference—it’s just a matter of when to use this chip.

This misunderstanding, instead, yields a more favorable result for Ye Chen.

However, you wonder if Xi Yun’s words were heartfelt.

Yet after being told this, Ye Chen could no longer justify holding the sword to Xi Xunlu’s throat.

He slowly sheathed the sword and said to Xi Yun, "Ye Chen was desperate to meet the Hall Master, so he had no choice but to act against His Highness Xunlu. My apologies."

Xi Yun waved his hand and laughed, "That brat brought it upon himself. Brotherly scuffles, what’s the harm? But, Ye Chen, you should not call me Hall Master. From now on, call me Uncle Yun. It’s laughable for family members to address each other like that."

Ye Chen smiled, "Alright, Uncle Yun."

Qin Hongyue felt a wave of dizziness. What is going on?

Ye Chen’s identity changed from an infiltrator in the Chenyue Sea to a mysterious Chenyue Dark Child, now a royal family member?

Even with her intelligence, Qin Hongyue was baffled, unable to distinguish whether this was all a coincidence or if Ye Chen truly possessed an extraordinary identity!

Similarly perplexed was Su Zi, hidden in the Void...

As a Chenyue Dark Child, he managed to learn a lot about the Chenyue Sea’s secrets and thought he had some insight...

But now, he also struggled to understand whether Ye Chen was a member of the Xi family royalty or not.

After all, if Ye Chen truly were Xi family royalty, that could explain why he knew about the Chenyue Dark Child’s secret code.

Xi Yun, hearing the "Uncle Yun", seemed extremely pleased, patting Ye Chen’s shoulder and said, "Alright, this farce should end. Ye Chen, come with me back to Guanghan Palace first."

He glanced at Qin Hongyue next to them and smiled, "Miss Qin should come too. Ye Chen’s smooth entry into the Red Sea this time is greatly thanks to the assistance from the Beihan Commerce. I won’t say more; in the future, Beihan Commerce will have free access in the Red Sea—whatever business you can seize, go ahead and seize it!"

Qin Hongyue heard this, and her eyes shimmered with excitement. Initially, she intended to negotiate with Xi Yun as a proxy, but unexpectedly, her original goal was effortlessly achieved?

She bowed to Xi Yun and said, "Thank you, Hall Master."

Afterward, under Xi Yun’s lead, the group entered the Red Sea Guanghan Palace.

The entourage of tributes outside all displayed stunned expressions...

What happened?

The Hall Master went in with an intent to kill but came out amiably friendly with the person who acted against His Highness?

Ye Chen, along with Qin Hongyue and others, after a feast in the Guanghan Palace, returned to their rooms.

Ye Chen sat on the bed, eyes flickering, and asked Xuan Han Yu, "Fairy Xuan, are Xi Yun’s words credible?"

Xuan Han Yu answered, "Probably credible. He wouldn’t bother staging this if he aimed to deal with you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen frowned again and said, "But I didn’t expect this; in a few days, he’s going to hold an ancestry declaration ceremony? He’s even going to invite Xi family members and the Elder Council as witnesses?

The ceremony requires a bloodline acknowledgment, right? I’m not truly a member of the Xi family, how can I pass? The trouble that will arise then will be significant."

Xuan Han Yu replied with a smile, "Who said you can’t pass?"

"What?" Ye Chen was somewhat dumbfounded...

He’s not even Chenyue Sea people! How to pass such a bloodline acknowledgment ceremony?
