Ye Xi unhurriedly picked up a piece of pastry and placed it into her mouth.
"If there is anything that requires Aunt Ye's help, I certainly won't stand on ceremony with you, Aunt Ye."
The words had just fallen when Zhong Meng walked into the main hall, went straight to Ye Xi's side, and whispered something in a voice only the two of them could hear.
"Young Miss, there are an old man and a young person who have arrived outside; they should be people who know you, Young Miss."
"Should I invite them in?"
Zhong Meng kept her voice very low, her gaze occasionally glancing at Ye Qingxue.
"An old man and a young person?"
Ye Xi muttered to herself, as if thinking of something, and waved her hand indifferently.
"Invite them in; they are all our own people."
Ye Xi's voice was full of casualness.
She didn't have many acquaintances in Heaven Dou City, and the only ones who fit the description of an old man and a young person were Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
After receiving Ye Xi's reply, Zhong Meng immediately withdrew.
Soon, Zhong Meng brought Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan into the main hall.
"Senior, I have a distinguished guest here, so I was unable to go out to welcome you; please forgive me."
Ye Xi stood up from her seat and said very politely.
"Xiao Xi, I don't care about these things, as you know."
Dugu Bo took Dugu Yan to sit in the main hall, his gaze calmly sizing up Ye Qingxue.
As the head of the Nine Heart Begonia Family, Ye Qingxue was naturally someone Dugu Bo knew, but they were just not close.
"Xiao Xi, since you have matters to discuss with Senior Poison Douluo, I will not disturb you further."
"Remember to come be a guest at our Nine Heart Begonia Family when you have time."
Ye Qingxue rose from her seat, gave Ye Xi a gentle smile, and then walked out of the main hall.
"Aunt Ye, shall I see you out?"
Just as Ye Xi was preparing to follow Ye Qingxue's pace, she saw Ye Qingxue shake her head.
"No need to trouble yourself. I will go see Ye Lingling first, say a few words to her, and then I should return to the Family."
After speaking, Ye Qingxue walked directly out of the main hall.
Watching Ye Qingxue leave, Ye Xi sat back down and turned her gaze to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
"Senior, are you here this time for the matter of detoxification?"
Ye Xi's voice was very gentle, with a faint smile at the corners of her mouth.
"It is not for the matter of detoxification."
"It is my granddaughter, Dugu Yan, who wants to Cultivate with you, so I came to ask to see if it is convenient for you, Xiao Xi."
"If it is not convenient, then just pretend I didn't say anything."
A smile appeared on Dugu Bo's somewhat aged face, and his voice was full of amiability.
"Senior, since you have spoken, how could it be inconvenient for me?"
"It just so happens that Ye Lingling has just decided to stay at my residence, and they are acquaintances."
Ye Xi smiled and agreed without any hesitation.
"Ye Lingling is here too?"
A hint of surprise appeared in Dugu Yan's eyes.
"Yes, just a short while ago, Aunt Ye personally sent her over."
Ye Xi smiled and nodded.
"Then I will go see Ye Lingling."
Dugu Yan said this, stood up from her seat, and walked toward the outside of the main hall.
Watching Dugu Yan leave the main hall, Dugu Bo just smiled and shook his head, saying nothing.
"Senior, if you have nothing to do this afternoon, I will detoxify you here."
Ye Xi looked at Dugu Bo before her, asking for his opinion.
"That is fine; I have nothing to do this afternoon."
Hearing Ye Xi's words, Dugu Bo agreed directly.
And after Dugu Bo agreed, Ye Xi immediately took out the tools needed for detoxification from her storage bracelet and began the second detoxification for Dugu Bo.
After finishing the second detoxification, Dugu Bo gave Dugu Yan a few instructions, then left the residence where Ye Xi lived and headed toward his own courtyard.
Due to the addition of Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, the originally somewhat desolate residence became much livelier.
For several consecutive days, the lives of Ye Xi and the others were very orderly; during the day, they went to the Tian Dou Great Spirit Arena to participate in spirit fighting competitions, spent their leisure time shopping in Heaven Dou City, and at night, they Cultivated in the residence.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Star Luo Empire.
Longxing City.
After traveling for more than a month, Yang Wushuang walked slowly to the gate of the Breaking Clan and quietly sized up the Breaking Clan before him.
"Who are you? If you have nothing to do, don't..."
The Disciple standing in front of the Breaking Clan's gate, upon seeing Yang Wushuang's face clearly, stopped speaking abruptly, his eyes full of disbelief.
"You... you are the Second Clan Head?"
The Disciple asked somewhat uncertainly.
"What, you don't recognize me?"
Looking at the Disciple in front of him, Yang Wushuang rarely showed a smile.
"Second Clan Head, it really is you!"
"Second Clan Head, weren't you captured by Spirit Hall?"
"How did you suddenly return..."
Halfway through his sentence, this Disciple seemed to realize something and observed Yang Wushuang's expression.
"This is a long story; is my big brother here?"
Yang Wushuang waved his hand indifferently and walked straight into the Breaking Clan.
"He is, he is."
"I will go tell the Clan Head now."
The Disciple said this and immediately ran into the Breaking Clan.
Yang Wushuang walked unhurriedly along the path, his gaze taking in the surrounding environment, his eyes full of reminiscence.
Before long, the Clan Head, Yang Wudi, ran out of the room and headed straight for Yang Wushuang.
"Wushuang, you have finally returned."
"These past few years, you have suffered in Spirit Hall."
Yang Wudi arrived in front of Yang Wushuang, opened his arms, and gave Yang Wushuang a bear hug.
"Big Brother!"
Looking at the Yang Wudi before him, Yang Wushuang's eyes were full of excitement.
"Let's go inside to talk, let's go inside to talk."
Yang Wudi pulled Yang Wushuang into the main hall and sat down in the hall.
"Wushuang, tell me, how did you escape from Spirit Hall?"
Yang Wudi reached out and patted Yang Wushuang's shoulder, a smile always on his face.
"Big Brother, this is a long story."
After sighing, Yang Wushuang began to narrate with great emotion.
However, the story Yang Wushuang told was one that had been adapted by Ye Xi.
After Yang Wushuang finished narrating, Yang Wudi, with slightly red eyes, poured a cup of tea for Yang Wushuang.
"Wushuang, according to what you said, Ye Xi has the grace of saving your life."
"But rest assured, our Breaking Clan has noted this favor, and if there is anything she needs help with, our Breaking Clan will absolutely not refuse."
Yang Wudi reached out and patted Yang Wushuang's shoulder, his voice full of emotion.
"Big Brother, I really do have one thing on this return."
"Ye Xi wants to establish a faction and wants to invite our Breaking Clan to join, and the conditions offered are very generous."
Yang Wushuang held up four fingers, looking at the Yang Wudi before him.
