Chapter 751 Perfect

Xin Yi blushed and said shyly, "You, you were so unconscious, how could you control yourself...
You often urinate silently, and my master and I have to change your diapers and wash the sheets."

Ye Tian was naturally unable to control himself while unconscious, and it was fortunate that his master helped him, otherwise it would have been very embarrassing.

This time, it was Ye Tian's turn to blush: "Huh? Who changed the diapers and who washed the sheets?"

"We changed and washed them! My master's wife and I took turns. He changed them when I slept, and I changed them when he slept!"

"So, did you see what's down there...?"

Xin Yi said shyly, "Yes... actually, your penis is so funny. It's so soft, but
it gets hard after pressing it a lot. But it's quite useful for peeing."

Ye Tian was on the verge of tears. It turned out that his mother and junior sister had seen everything while he was unconscious.
His mother was alright, after all, she was his biological mother, blood is thicker than water, and his body was given to him by his mother, so it wasn't a big deal for her to see it a
few more times . But Xin Yi was still just a young girl, and it felt strange, really
strange for her to see it...

Fortunately, Ye Tian was used to being embarrassed. Having had his indecent video broadcast live nationwide, he had
no . This time, it was just intimate contact with a young girl. After all, she was still an innocent girl
who didn't even know whether Ye Tian's penis was soft or hard.

Ye Tian "respectfully" put the chamber pot back in its place and said, "I'll go outside to relieve myself."

Xin Yi had no choice but to help Ye Tian out the door, but Ye Tian waved his hand, indicating that he could handle it. If he couldn't handle this little
thing , Ye Tian really would jump into the sea and commit suicide.

That day, Ye Tian was extremely tired and fell into a deep sleep as soon as he lay down on the bed. When he woke up, it was almost noon. Sunlight
seeped in through the cracks in the wooden window. Ye Tian rubbed his eyes, and a beautiful, poignant face appeared before him.

"Ah, Auntie..."

Ye Tian called out subconsciously. It turned out that the person in front of him was Ji Ye Chen.

Ji Ye Chen smiled slightly, her clear eyes sparkling with a clear smoothness. She was still very thin, but she
no longer had that skin and bones feeling; she could only be described as slightly bony.

Ye Tian held her delicate little hand and said affectionately, "Thank you for taking care of me these past few days."

Ji Yechen blushed, "It's nothing, it's all my senior sister and niece who took care of you."

Ye Tian looked up but didn't see his mother and junior sister, so he asked, "
Where are my mother and junior sister?"

"Well, they went to cook. They asked me to take over and look after you! Look how heroic you are, even I
, a patient who needs care, have to take care of you."

Ye Tian casually checked Ji Yechen's pulse and found that it had almost recovered. However, her body and internal energy
were greatly depleted, and it would be good if she could recover to a normal level within half a year.

When Ji Yechen saw Ye Tian's hand grab her wrist, she thought he was up to no good and
quickly pulled her hand away, half-smiling and half-annoying, saying, "You rascal! You just woke up and you're already teasing me!"

Ye Tian thought Ji Yechen looked absolutely stunning and laughed, "Auntie, you're so beautiful!"

Ji Yechen blushed, but said, "Tch! You're not allowed to call me auntie anymore..."

"Huh? Then what should I call you?"

Ye Tian asked, puzzled.

Ji Yechen dared not meet Ye Tian's gaze. She lowered her head and said shyly, "You... that day in
the cave you did that kind of thing to me... From that moment on, I stopped considering myself your aunt..."

Ye Tian scratched his head, "But we were both poisoned that day..."

"Oh! So you're trying to renege on your promise?"

Ji Yechen said angrily, "If you're going to complain, just say so now, so we don't have to wait and see!"

Ye Tian could tell that Ji Yechen was very unhappy. He knew that Ji Yechen had just escaped from the brink of death, and her
temperament , habits, and even outlook on life should have changed drastically. Her emotions, which had been suppressed for many years, were now beginning
to resurface and sprout. Moreover, she couldn't withstand any more stimulation after recovering from her serious illness. If she were to be hurt by Ye Tian again,
she might fall ill again.

Ye Tian quickly tried to persuade her kindly, "I'm sorry, Auntie, I was wrong..."

"You, you still call me Auntie?"

Ji Yechen said angrily.

"Ah, I'm sorry! I'm used to it. What should I call you then?"

"You... just call me Chenchen!"

Ji Yechen turned her head away, her face flushed, glancing at Ye Tian with her beautiful eyes every now and then, then
shyly looking away.

Ye Tian was thrilled. He sat up, took Ji Yechen's slender hand, and gently called out, "Chenchen
..."

Ye Tian put his arm around Ji Yechen's shoulder and gently pulled her into his embrace. Ji Yechen's face turned even redder.
She nestled gently against Ye Tian's chest, inhaling the strong masculine scent emanating from him. She felt a wave of
dizziness .

Just then, the door suddenly opened. A blinding ray of light pierced in from outside, and a clear,
melodious voice called out, "Junior Uncle, is my senior brother awake?"

It was Xin Yi! She happened to see Ji Yechen and Ye Tian embracing intimately. Although she had long known that their
relationship was unusual, she still couldn't help but get angry: "You! You two!"

Ji Yechen quickly pushed Ye Tian away and stood up from the bedside. She said, "Little niece... it's not
what ..."

Xin Yi wanted to say something angry, but the words stuck in her throat. However, a hint of disappointment and frustration was
faintly . She deliberately lowered her voice and said softly, "Junior Uncle, Senior Brother,
the food is ready. Let's go to the dining room to eat... We still have to see Master's Wife later!"

After saying that, she turned and left as if nothing had happened, leaving Ye Tian and Ji Yechen looking at each other.

The meal was extremely sumptuous, and the various exquisite dishes made Ye Tian, who hadn't tasted food for many days, exclaim with delight. He
didn't even know how much he ate. The burning feeling in his stomach finally disappeared.

After the meal, Xin Yi prepared a large tub of bathwater for Ye Tian in the room so that he could wash up properly
. He couldn't stay disheveled while seeing Master's Wife later. Ye Tian saw that Xin Yi was always sullen, and knew...
Knowing she was jealous of his ambiguous relationship with Ji Yechen, he wanted to tease her.

At that moment, Ye Tian was bathing in the tub. Xin Yi waited outside the door. Ye Tian knew she wouldn't leave;
she would come in as soon as he called. So he pretended to fall backward into the tub, crying out in a pitiful voice, "Ouch!
It hurts so much! Ouch! Ahhh!"

Ye Tian deliberately screamed loudly and miserably. Xin Yi quickly burst through the door and ran in, asking with concern, "Senior brother,
what's wrong?"

Seeing her come in, Ye Tian suddenly pretended to faint and sank into the tub with a splash. This terrified Xin Yi.
She rushed to the tub, her pretty face flushed with anxiety and worry, "Senior brother, senior brother!"

she cried, reaching her hands into the tub to pull Ye Tian out.

Unexpectedly, the moment her hands touched the water, Ye Tian suddenly grabbed her wrists and pulled her into the tub with a splash
. Xin Yi never expected Ye Tian to be faking it. Caught off guard, she tumbled

into the water. She quickly scrambled to her feet, soaking wet and nearly choking. Realizing Ye Tian
was playing a prank, she saw him emerge naked from the water as well. She pounded his shoulders with her fists:
"You're bad, you're bad, you're bad! You big bad guy!" "

Big bad guy" was probably the worst insult she could think of, yet she'd used it on Ye Tian.
Ye Tian, a seasoned womanizer who never missed a chance, was very familiar with the term and didn't take it to heart.

He suddenly pulled his cute, innocent junior sister into his arms, chuckling, "Careful Xin Yi, you tried to hide from
me! Now you can't escape!"

Xin Yi pushed Ye Tian away with a cry. She had never had such close contact with a man before, and her
face flushed crimson. Plus, she was completely soaked, even her hair was wet. The pink dress clung to
her body , revealing the budding flower tips beneath. Ye Tian, seeing this alluring sight, couldn't help but feel
a physical reaction.

Xin Yi quickly covered her chest, saying, "Don't look!"

Ye Tian could only pretend to close his eyes, "I didn't look! I really didn't look."

Then, leisurely, he said, "Heaven is so unfair! My body has already been seen by my junior sister,
but she absolutely refuses to let me see hers."

Xin Yi felt Ye Tian's words made sense, but something just didn't feel right. She pouted and said,
"What?! I look at you because I have no choice, do you think I like it? You're a patient, of course I have to take care of you!
But you look at me, it's... well, I'm not sick, and I don't need you to take care of me, why should I show myself to you?"

Xin Yi originally wanted to say: But you looking at me is indecent behavior. But the words stuck in her throat; she wasn't sure if
that was the right way to describe it. After all, being so naive, she didn't even quite understand what indecent behavior meant.

Ye Tian chuckled, "Xinyi, you look so cute when you're angry."

Xinyi snorted, "You bad guy, you big bad guy! You're not a good person! I don't like you anymore! I won't
play with you anymore!"

With that, Xinyi stood up from the bucket and tried to climb out.

However, because she was soaked, her thin pink gauze dress clung completely to her body. As soon as she stood
up , her pert and exquisite buttocks were perfectly exposed to Ye Tian's eyes.
Ye Tian, known for his lustful nature, couldn't possibly miss such a beautiful and alluring view "under her skirt."

He even had an urge to pin Xinyi down; after being unconscious for a month, his obsession with
women had become almost insane. As the saying goes, even an old sow will have double eyelids after three days without a woman.
Let alone a gentle and lovely fairytale princess like Xinyi?

Xinyi seemed to sense the strange look in Ye Tian's eyes, but having never been in contact with a man before,
she had no defenses against him. Just as Xin Yi stepped one leg out of the bathtub, Ye Tian suddenly stood up
behind , placed his hands on her slender waist, and gently lifted this gentle and beautiful junior sister into his arms.

Chapter 752 Not Yet

Ye Tian carried Xin Yi out of the bathtub. Xin Yi tickled and giggled, slapping
Ye Tian 's hands and saying, "Ugh! It tickles!"

Ye Tian chuckled, "I was just trying to be nice and get you out of the bathtub."

"Hmph! I'm ignoring you, you big bad guy, you tricked me into the bathtub. Humph."

With that, Xin Yi shyly left the room and hurriedly went back to her room to change.

Only then did Ye Tian lie back in the bathtub, satisfied, and continue bathing. He had initially had some
lewd , but he ultimately didn't want to do anything too inappropriate to her. After all, Xin Yi was just an
immature and naive girl, while Ye Tian had already been with countless women. Doing so would not only be unfair to Xin Yi, but would also make
Ye Tian feel guilty. After all, Xinyi was her mother's last disciple, practically a daughter to her.

Therefore, Xinyi wasn't just Ye Tian's junior sister, but also like a younger sister. If Ye Tian were to take liberties with
her, his mother would definitely blame him; now was not the time. This was a hard-won restoration of
their family bond , and Ye Tian didn't want to do anything to hurt his mother; maternal love was what he had always longed for most.

Ye Tian took a bath and put on the new clothes his mother had made for him. It was a set of pure
white , very scholarly in style, and looked exquisite. Wearing this outfit, Ye Tian immediately
felt sophisticated; he felt that if he added a fan, he could become Zhuge Liang.

In the afternoon, Ye Tian, along with his mother, junior sister, and Ji Yechen, went to the main hall to pay their respects to his master's wife. This time, only
Sect Leader attended by a few disciples, received the four of them.

Sect Leader Tang Chun glanced at Ye Tian and said calmly, "Hmm, you actually survived. Not bad, you're the
first man to survive after being struck by Yu Ji's self-immolation technique."

Ye Tian smiled faintly and said, "It's all thanks to Third Aunt's mercy."

Ye Tian wasn't exaggerating; that sword had originally pierced through his chest. If it had deviated by even a millimeter or two,
Ye Tian would likely have died.

At this moment, Xu Yufei, who had stabbed Ye Tian, stood beside Sect Leader Tang Chun. Seeing Ye Tian return healthy,
she was slightly surprised. She smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I thought you could dodge that sword...
"

Ye Tian laughed heartily, "Third Aunt's swordsmanship is divine, it has broadened my horizons. I never imagined
there would be . Actually, I really couldn't dodge that sword! This time, I admit defeat, I'm
completely convinced."

This should be Ye Tian's first defeat since his debut.

But Sect Leader Tang Chun shook his head and said to Ye Tian, "Actually, you didn't lose, kid."

"Huh?"

"In the first round of the competition, in actual combat, you were evenly matched. Although you ultimately fell to
Yu Ji suicide move, it was only because your compassion was aroused. A martial artist must have a benevolent heart; only the benevolent
can be invincible. I never understood the meaning of this saying before, but seeing your actions, I suddenly seem to understand
. In the critical moment, to prevent Yu Fei from committing suicide, you even said you would admit defeat. And to
save her life, you didn't hesitate to use your bare hands to grab her sword. I've seen people like that all my life.
So I consider you to have passed the first test. Again, if you now..." " If you choose to leave, I will allow you
to take two people from my sect. Of course, you still can't take your mother."

Hearing Sect Leader Tang Chun's calm words, Ye Tian nonchalantly replied, "Grandma,
you don't need to tempt me with this… I came here to take my mother away. If she doesn't leave, I
won't leave either! I'm here to beg you, not to blackmail you. So whatever your conditions are, I
will do my best to fulfill them."

Sect Leader Tang Chun chuckled, "Good lad! Since you say so, then fine, you should recover first. After you've recovered,
I'll arrange for you to break the Jade Maiden Sword Formation."

"Okay!"

Ye Tian agreed nonchalantly, but he understood that the Jade Maiden Sword Technique had almost sent him to
his death ; if he really encountered a Jade Maiden Sword Formation composed of ten people, Ye Tian might be meeting his ancestors. But
since Ye Tian had decided to play the hero, he was determined to persevere to the end and never give up. After all, this was the path he
had chosen. Having made his choice, he was determined to see it through to the end, and nothing and no one could stop him
.

Fortunately, Sect Leader Tang Chun gave Ye Tian time to rest, allowing him to challenge again after recovering from his injuries. Ye Tian
believed that with the aid of the Free and Unfettered Divine Skill, he could easily improve his combat power. Moreover, Sect Leader Tang Chun didn't
set a time limit, meaning Ye Tian had ample preparation time and opportunities to cultivate. Even the date of the challenge could
be chosen by Ye Tian himself.

After returning to his room, Ye Tian immediately went to bed to practice. Earlier, Wenren Ziyu had checked his pulse and
found that he had completely recovered, so she took Xinyi back to her room to sleep with peace of mind. The past month of taking care of
Ye Tian , changing his diapers and changing his diapers, had exhausted the master and disciple.

Ye Tian tried to circulate the Free and Unfettered Divine Skill, but found that he couldn't muster any true qi. His original sixth-grade Xuan-level true qi now
seemed to have dwindled to less than third-grade. It seemed that the injury was indeed affecting his cultivation. However, Ye Tian knew that the meridians that had been opened
were at most temporarily blocked, not permanently stagnant. As long as he practiced diligently, he could recover quickly.

But Ye Tian was too optimistic. He started practicing his internal energy around 2 PM,
but made no progress until it was dark. Instead, he felt weak and exhausted. It seemed this serious illness had been
devastating .

After dinner, Ye Tian returned to his room to continue cultivating, but still made no progress. Feeling restless and agitated, he suddenly
felt cold. Then he remembered the Black Prison. He had been imprisoned there for seven days.
After those seven days, he not only wasn't injured, but his cultivation level had even increased by one grade. It seemed to be a suitable
spiritual cultivation ground. Ye Tian thought he might as well go there to retrieve his lost true energy.

With that in mind, Ye Tian wrote a note and left it: "I'm going to the Black Prison to practice. Find me there if you need anything."
— After writing the note, Ye Tian excitedly went out and arrived alone at the gate of the Black Prison.

Just outside the dark cell, Ye Tian, with his keen eyes, spotted a figure in black quietly entering under the twilight. "Huh?
Who's this?"

Judging from the figure, the person was rather thin and short, seemingly a woman. But why was she dressed in night clothes? Was she hiding some secret on this
isolated island ? Curious, Ye Tian tiptoed after her.

Having been an assassin in America, Ye Tian was extremely skilled at stealth. Although he was still recovering from serious injuries and
his true energy was greatly diminished, he was still the same man who had once been known as Lone Wolf, a man as swift as the wind. It would obviously be very difficult for the figure in black to detect or
get rid of Ye Tian.

The figure in black entered the dark cell, looked around, and seeing no one, tiptoed to Wu Qianqian's cell
door, whispering, "Master, Master! I'm here!"

Ye Tian, hiding on high ground, possessed extremely sharp hearing and eyesight thanks to his Free and Easy Divine Skill, so
although the figure in black spoke softly, he heard it clearly. It turned out that the man in black was
Hu Yufeng . Within the Jade Maiden Sect, Wu Qianqian had two disciples. Her eldest disciple was named Hu Yufeng, and her second disciple was named Hu Jinfeng,
twin sisters.
They were two orphans Wu Qianqian had taken in from a village during a mission. Both were only twenty years old, yet they had already reached the ninth rank of the Yellow level.

It happened to be low tide, and the temperature in the dark prison hadn't risen yet. Wu Qianqian was finally able to get
some peaceful sleep. However, she was unexpectedly woken up by Hu Yufeng.

Ye Tian initially thought Hu Yufeng had secretly come to visit her master, secretly feeling that this disciple was extremely unfilial.
Knowing that her master, Wu Qianqian, was suffering endless torment in the dark prison, she not only didn't bring any comfort
but also woke her from her dream.

Awakened, Wu Qianqian dragged her weary body to the prison gate and said in an almost groaning tone, "
Yu Feng , did you bring any water?"

Hu Yu Feng replied, "Master, the sect is very strict. How could I dare to bring anything?"

"Hehe, alright, then you can go!"

Wu Qianqian said in near despair.

"Master, let me tell you the truth,"

Hu Yufeng said hypocritically, "That person wouldn't let me bring water and food. He said that as long as you agree
to his request, he will immediately rescue you."

"You come here every day to persuade me, but I give you the same answer every day,"

Wu Qianqian said, forcing herself to speak. "Is he still not giving up? Heh, go tell him that if he wants to destroy
my Jade Maiden Sect, he should do it openly, but he absolutely cannot let me, Wu Qianqian, betray my promise and assassinate my master."

"Oh?"

Hu Yufeng chuckled coldly, "It seems you really don't know what's good for you, Master. Heh, you know that if that person
really wanted to destroy the Jade Maiden Sect, it would be as easy as lifting a finger. Yet you are so stubborn. Heh, fine, I guess I,
Hu Yufeng, have misjudged you!"

With that, Hu Yufeng put on her night clothes again and quietly went out.

Once Hu Yufeng was far away, Ye Tian jumped down from the high place and came to Wu Qianqian's cell door:
"Second Aunt, what happened!"

Wu Qianqian was extremely weak. Seeing Ye Tian, she hurriedly called out, "Water...water..."

Knowing what it was like to live in a dark cell, Ye Tian slipped back to the well, drew a bucket of water, and also stole some
food to take with him.

Wu Qianqian was extremely hungry and thirsty, and wolfed down everything Ye Tian brought. Panting heavily
, she said to Ye Tian, "Kid, you won!"

"What do you mean, 'won' or 'lost'?"

Ye Tian asked, puzzled. "Don't you understand? I just couldn't bear to see you treated like this,
even though you used to be my enemy!"

"Heh, my current situation is entirely my own doing. It has nothing to do with you!"

Saying this, Wu Qianqian reached out and grabbed Ye Tian's arm, pleading, "Please, stop
that person. Don't let that person's scheme succeed, cough..."

Chapter 753 Unbearable Past

"Scheme? What scheme?"

Ye Tian asked warily, "It seems some mysterious person is plotting against the Jade Maiden Sect... What's going on?"

Wu Qianqian coughed a few times before slowly sighing, "Alas, it's all the sins I committed in my youth.
In the end, I harmed myself and the Jade Maiden Sect..."

Wu Qianqian was filled with regret, but some things are too late for regret.

"What happened?"

Ye Tian asked, somewhat curious.

Wu Qianqian slowly shook her head, her thoughts seemingly drifting back to a long time ago. She slowly said, "Ye Tian, you
know I'm no longer a virgin. As a member of the Jade Maiden Sect, I lost my virginity mark more than twenty years ago.
But I was afraid my master would blame me, so I got a fake one tattooed under that person's guidance..."

"Who is that person?"

Ye Tian interrupted.

"Hehe, that person, he is a demon, and also my destined nemesis. Hehe. Twenty-three years ago,
I was just a shy young girl. Just like your junior sister Xinyi, I didn't understand anything, innocent and
naive every day. I thought I would live happily like this forever. Until that person appeared."

Wu Qianqian took a sip of water and continued, "Master told you that no man could ever escape an isolated island? That's
wrong. That person escaped. He was from the Southern Yue Kingdom. During the South China Sea naval battle, his warship was sunk
, and afterwards, somehow he managed to grab a piece of..." The log drifted to a deserted island. At that time, there weren't
so , so he luckily escaped the octopuses and other fish, and drifted ashore.

I was practicing martial arts by the sea when I saw him there. This was the first time I'd ever seen a man, and
I was incredibly curious, so I rescued him. I took him to a secret cave by the sea,
fed him every day, and used the Jade Maiden Sect's elixirs to heal his wounds.

After a few days, he recovered, and I let him row a small boat out to sea, telling him that if he kept heading west, he could return to
Nan Yue. But the most... For the first three or four kilometers, you must be careful to avoid the attacks of the octopus guardians. He, however, claimed
he couldn't fight the octopuses and asked me to escort him for a while, promising to repay me handsomely.

I was so naive and foolish back then, and went out to sea with him. Little did I know that he would rape me just as the ship
left the danger zone. Ha! He was already thirty years old then, with a strength reaching the fifth rank of the Xuan level.
How could I, at only the seventh rank of the Huang level, possibly resist? After he finished, he vowed to take care of me
for life , and I believed him. So I eloped with him to Nan Yue.

Only after he brought me back to Nan Yue did I... I discovered he was actually the descendant of a general from South Vietnam, and already had
a wife. He asked me to be his concubine. I was overwhelmed with shame and wanted to commit suicide, but he stopped me.
After deliberation, I decided to return to the Jade Maiden Sect, and he agreed. However, I felt it would be difficult to
explain to my master without the cinnabar mark, so he took me to get a fake one tattooed. At that time, South Vietnam harbored ambitions to dominate the South China Sea,
but because they couldn't defeat China, suffering defeats in both land and sea battles, they were forced to surrender. He said
the surrender was only temporary, and that South Vietnam would one day return.

At this point... By then, I utterly loathed him. Arrogant, perverted, mentally unstable—in short, he was
someone who made you feel neither warmth nor security. The wickedness in his eyes was enough to send chills down my spine.
Before I returned to the Jade Maiden Sect, he said he wanted to send troops to occupy the isolated island, but he couldn't find the location and asked me to lead the way. I
refused, and he threatened to kill me. He even imprisoned me. Later, I escaped that very night,
but he caught me and brought me back. Ha! I thought he would show some mercy, but instead, he distributed me among his
men. That was the most humiliating and darkest period of my life. " Those dark days, I don't even know how I
survived ."

Wu Qianqian held Ye Tian's hand, her eyes growing increasingly dim. She said, "I
endured three months of utter darkness in their hands. During that time, I suffered every inhuman form of abuse and every form of excessive
oppression . I learned that people could live like this. Fortunately, I still possessed martial arts skills. One day,
taking advantage of a moment when they loosened their chains, I killed all the men who had humiliated me. Only by drinking their
blood could I experience the thrill of revenge. Heh, my next step is..." I killed the
man !

To hunt him down, I traversed the entire Southern Yue Kingdom. But he seemed to have vanished, leaving
no trace. Everything I knew about him before was false. I couldn't find his family, couldn't find
him, couldn't even find anyone he knew.

At that moment, I secretly made up my mind. No matter where I went, I would make him
pay for his crimes in blood. So I returned to the deserted island and began to train desperately. I couldn't tell anyone about my story, because I didn't want to
vividly recount how I was manipulated by a group of Southern Yue soldiers. History. Heh, when I first returned to the isolated island, my
only dream was to train relentlessly to gain my master's favor, become the leader of the Jade Maiden Sect, and then use the entire
sect's power to find that person and torture him to death bit by bit. But I knew I was still far from being the leader
. I not only needed outstanding martial arts skills, but I also needed to defeat my senior sister's faction and seize their
trust and power. So I used many methods to attack my senior sister, and even harmed my junior sister…

Sigh, I was willing to pay any price to find that person, so I cultivated influence everywhere, and secretly…
He committed many illegal acts. Although I knew those things were despicable, hatred blinded me
. I was determined to kill this man. Later, I made money and hired many
people from international intelligence organizations, but I still couldn't find any trace of him; it was as if he had vanished into thin air.

Haha, until one day, I accidentally saw a photo in a newspaper from the Southern Yue Kingdom, and I
found him in the photo. It turned out he had undergone plastic surgery. Although his face was unrecognizable and his body had become much fatter, I
still recognized him from his eyes. People can change many things, but their eyes are something
they are born with and cannot change. Moreover, his lewd, sinister, and evil eyes were already deeply imprinted in my mind
, and I would never forget them for the rest of my life.

It turned out that he changed his identity the day he learned I had escaped. Because he was afraid of retaliation from the Jade Maiden Sect, he even
had plastic surgery and changed his name. He no longer served as a military officer, but instead abandoned the military for politics, and because of his powerful family
background, he gradually climbed to a position second only to the emperor. No wonder I haven't been able to find him all these years.
I've been searching for his former appearance and identity, but that former person has long since vanished.
"

Chapter 754 Like father, like son

" Ye Tian, being in politics, knew a bit about some political figures. Upon hearing Wu Qianqian's description, he
immediately recognized her: "Are you talking about Yuan Zhiqiang

, the former Prime Minister of South Vietnam?" Ye Tian remembered seeing this person in the news; he felt the man
was treacherous and gave off a sinister aura.

Wu Qianqian nodded and said, "Yes, that's him. Heh, the one who ruined my life."

Ye Tian resolutely said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely kill him for you!"

Wu Qianqian shook her head: "Heh, I wanted to do that too. When I found out he was Yuan Zhiqiang,
I went to see him personally. His strength hasn't improved much in the past twenty years; he was only a fifth-grade Xuan-level before
, and now he's only a ninth-grade Xuan-level. I felt I should have a chance to kill him, but I overlooked his
bodyguards. In that battle, I was surrounded by dozens of bodyguards and was captured again." This time, I was
prepared to die, but he hypocritically offered to let me go. He said he felt terrible for what he did to me back
then regretted it deeply. So he wanted to make it up to me.

I didn't believe him, but he actually let me go. However, the hurt he caused me was too deep; this
small favor sway my resolve to kill him. But he was constantly protected
by countless skilled fighters, making it impossible for me to get close. Just when I thought I had no hope of killing him in this lifetime, he suddenly found me and asked
me to do him a favor. He said that as long as I helped... After he finishes this matter, he will be at my mercy; I can kill or torture him without
batting an eye.

My strength is still slightly inferior to his, and I might suffer losses in a fight. Of course, I will ask him what he wants me to do. He
told me that the Southern Yue Kingdom and the Huaxia Kingdom have been in constant conflict for decades. As the prime minister, he has always
felt guilty for not being able to contribute to the country. He knows that the isolated island is not marked on the Huaxia Kingdom's map, so
he plans to occupy it, declare sovereignty, and expand the Southern Yue Kingdom's territorial waters. Once the Huaxia Kingdom intervenes in the island dispute, he
can create a situation against the Huaxia Kingdom. Unfavorable international public opinion attracted the intervention of the United States and European powers to mediate. This
forced China to face multiple threats under negative international pressure, allowing the powers to isolate or even partition
China. At that time, South Vietnam could also get a share.

However, no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find the island's location. Not only that, but he also
inexplicably lost a number of men. He knew the island must be guarded by extraordinary forces, so he wanted me to guide him. I
knew he intended to harm China, and of course I wouldn't do that. Besides, the island was the foundation of the Jade Maiden Sect; without it...
An isolated island, and thus, the Jade Maiden Sect ceases to exist. How could I possibly destroy my sect for a man who betrayed me?

Although he feigned sincerity while speaking to me, I remained completely unmoved. I knew
his promises were empty words, never to be fulfilled. I knew this man too well; probably
few in the world knew him better than I did. A politician who speaks with his backside, an old rogue whose pockets are spitting with malice.
If I believed a single word he said, I'd be out of my mind. The Southern Yue Kingdom has coveted the South China Sea for many years;
they, along with Malaysia and island nations... They always try to instigate a new round of war in the South China Sea. I don't know if these
wars are beneficial to them, but I know they are definitely not beneficial to the Jade Maiden Sect. So I firmly refused
him and even tried to kill him.

However, my internal energy cultivation was a level lower than his, and since he came prepared, I easily
escaped. Afterwards, he tried to capture me. But this time I learned my lesson and ran away as soon as I saw the situation was bad, managing to escape back to
the isolated island. After returning, I told my master about the news that Nan Yue wanted to annex the isolated island, but my master didn't care at all.
Helpless I told him... They told my two apprentices. Heh, recently after I was imprisoned, no matter who begged Master, he wouldn't
release me. These two sisters couldn't get me out, so they secretly went to the Southern Yue Kingdom to beg Yuan Zhiqiang… In
their eyes, Yuan Zhiqiang was actually a kind and gentle old man. That's utterly absurd! If
Yuan Zhiqiang can be called kind, then there are no evil people in the world!

Yuan Zhiqiang agreed to let them rescue me, but on the condition that I help him assassinate my master. That's
the whole story you heard. Heh, Yuan Zhiqiang is most skilled at using the Thirty-Six… The scheme was a deception. No matter what he wanted
to do , he wouldn't do it directly; he would only create a smokescreen to
lure us into a trap. Once we were all in the bag, he would begin his true plan to catch us like turtles in a jar. So, his request for me to kill my master was probably a ruse .
I think he wanted to use this to lull me and my disciple into a false sense of security, while secretly preparing a strategy to attack the island.
Knowing him as I do, he definitely wouldn't let it go easily. He'd
seize , so I'm certain that within three days, the Southern Yue Kingdom would launch a full-scale attack!

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Ye Tian hadn't expected this outcome. Their usual caution had suddenly turned into such recklessness; things seemed
unusual.

Wu Qianqian said with slight anxiety, "Ye Tian, if the Southern Yue Kingdom really sends a large number of warships and submarines to attack the island,
then we will have no way to defend against it. In the past, we could still use octopuses and deception to stop outsiders from attacking the island. But now
my two unworthy disciples have definitely told Yuan Zhiqiang how to enter the island. Now there is only one way left
."

"What can we do?"

Ye Tian was also somewhat at a loss, considering it involved a war between two countries.

Wu Qianqian said, "Go back to the South China Sea for help, request military support. If we can send the Chinese aircraft carrier fleet,
that would be best… We don't necessarily have to fight them, but as long as the Chinese army comes, the South Vietnamese navy
definitely won't dare to act rashly…"

Ye Tian felt Wu Qianqian's voice growing weaker and weaker, so he said, "Second Aunt, you should rest first. I will definitely
go back to the South China Sea to get reinforcements."

Wu Qianqian replied, "Hehe, no need, I don't need to rest anymore…"

Ye Tian sensed despair in Wu Qianqian's voice and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Wu Qianqian said softly and slowly, "Thanks to my two good disciples, they stabbed me to force me to agree to
assassinate our master. I bled too much and should have died long ago. Who knew you would come?"

Ye Tian was stunned, but because of the cell door, he couldn't check the wound.

Wu Qianqian continued, "People used to tell me that like master, like disciple.
It seems that's really true. I've been heartless my whole life, and in the end, my disciples have learned exactly what I have,
without the slightest difference . Now, they probably only see Nan Yue and have no idea about the isolated island."

As she spoke, Wu Qianqian began to cough.

Ye Tian felt a chill in his heart and quickly explained, "Don't be so discouraged. Maybe Yuan Zhiqiang drugged them,
or maybe he brainwashed them."

Wu Qianqian shook her head and said, "You don't need to comfort me, haha. I ruined your parents' lives, and I ruined
Ji Yechen too. I was even planning to ruin your junior sister. Haha. You should treat me as an enemy."

Ye Tian firmly shook his head and said, "No, it wasn't you who ruined me. It was that Yuan Zhiqiang!"

"It's too late to say anything now,"

Wu Qianqian said. "I just hope you won't hold a grudge against me. Alas, I'm almost dead. Cough..."

Wu Qianqian's voice grew softer and softer. Gradually, Ye Tian lost track of what she was saying.

Ye Tian quickly checked her pulse, only to find that she was truly too weak to be saved.
Clearly, Wu Qianqian had lost too much blood, and was likely still bleeding. Even a miracle wouldn't save her.

Wu Qianqian tried to speak, but she couldn't utter a sound. She gradually closed her mouth, her
eyes still staring silently, seemingly dying with unresolved grievances.

Ye Tian couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow. He understood: although Wu Qianqian was responsible for his childhood tragedy,
even without her intervention, his mother would have been taken back to the Jade Maiden Sect to suffer sooner or later. Although Wu Qianqian had committed
some acts of aiding and abetting evil and harmed Ji Yechen, she was ultimately a pitiful
person driven to vengeance, losing her humanity. Ye Tian understood her feelings. His greatest hatred now lay with the instigator of the entire affair—the
ruthless Yuan Zhiqiang, a political rogue who would stop at nothing to climb to a high position. Now
that set his sights on the isolated island, Ye Tian absolutely couldn't abandon it.

Thinking this, Ye Tian decided to see Sect Leader Tang Chun. After all, he needed to report such a significant matter, and
it would be best if Sect Leader Tang Chun would heed Ye Tian's advice and go to the mainland to seek refuge. After all, a small cultivation sect couldn't withstand
the army of a nation.

Ye Tian immediately returned to the courtyard on the front mountain and knocked on Sect Leader Tang Chun's door.

"Who is it?"

Sect Leader Tang Chun was practicing her martial arts, and her voice was extremely displeased and gloomy. Usually, no one dared to
disturb her at this time.

"It's me, Ye Tian,"

Ye Tian replied.

"Oh! Little grand-disciple, what brings you here so late?"

Sect Leader Tang Chun's voice was calm and indifferent, giving off a cold feeling.

"Grandmother, Wu Qianqian has passed away,"

Ye Tian said somewhat helplessly.

"What? Wu Qianqian is dead? How did she die?"

Sect Leader Tang Chun didn't even have time to stop her practice before slamming her hand on the table and sitting up abruptly. She hurriedly pushed open the door, glaring at Ye Tian and asking,
"Who killed her?"

She knew Wu Qianqian's skills and abilities, knowing that a month in the dark dungeon wouldn't kill her unless she was
assassinated.

Just then, a third-generation female disciple of Ye Tian's generation suddenly ran in to report, "It's terrible! It's terrible!
The Hu sisters, Hu Jinfeng and Hu Yufeng, stole Master's treasured sword and escaped by boat!"

"What?"

Sect Leader Tang Chun was shocked and quickly led Ye Tian and Wu Qianqian to the beach. Looking around, they saw the two sisters had
already sailed far away in a yacht. This was the Jade Maiden Sect's only yacht; the Fairy Maiden Sect had no boats to catch up.

Watching the yacht recede into the distance, Sect Leader Tang Chun couldn't help but sigh helplessly, saying, "It seems the heavens are determined to
destroy my Jade Maiden Sect?"

Chapter 755 Leaving

Ye Tian was taken aback upon hearing this and hurriedly asked, "Master, what did you say?"

Sect Leader Tang Chun shook her head and sighed, "My sword is
a weapon , the Fairy Sword. When the sect leader passed it on to me, she told me: this sword must be inseparable from me for life,
until I pass it on along with the position of sect leader to the next sect leader. Therefore, the Jade Maiden Sect leader must wield the Fairy Sword. Once
the Fairy Sword is more than a hundred paces away from the sect leader, it signifies the destruction of the Jade Maiden Sect. Heh, now the Fairy Sword
is more than a hundred paces away from me!"

Ye Tian didn't expect even the dignified Sect Leader Tang Chun to be so discouraged, and hurriedly said, "Wu Qianqian told me
some . Listen to her!"

Ye Tian immediately told Sect Leader Tang Chun everything that Wu Qianqian had told him. Upon hearing
this, was deeply troubled and sighed, "Qianqian... she was the most obedient child when she was little. Heh,
she disappeared for several months. I thought she had just sneaked out to play and didn't pay much attention. Who knew she would
encounter such a tragic thing. Qianqian, oh Qianqian, since you have suffered such a shameful fate, why won't you
tell your master? Are you afraid that your master really won't stand up for you?"

Hearing this, Ye Tian thought of his mother and Ji Yechen's fate and suddenly understood
why Wu Qianqian would rather die than speak. After all, being locked in a dark cell was no fun.

Sect Leader Tang Chun had Ye Tian lead her with a torch to Wu Qianqian's cell door. Sure enough, Wu Qianqian had been dead
for a long time , and even her skin had changed color. Sect Leader Tang Chun sighed softly, "Alas, it's all your master's fault. Now
that I think about it, what good was it to lock you up on this deserted island? Although it seems safe for now, you have long..."
" Tonight you'll face this treacherous world and countless cunning men. It's better for you
to travel the world and hone your skills than to have never seen anything."

Sect Leader Tang Chun shook her head, tears streaming down her face.

Ye Tian inwardly sneered: "Heh, old hag. Now you know regret? You've tormented your best
disciple to the point of near death, what good has that done you? You can stop men from coming to the island, but can you stop
girls from yearning for love? You think that because you've been hurt by men, everyone will be
hurt by ? Heh, don't you think you're ridiculous? It's because of overly controlling elders like you that China
has such an incapable next generation. If every cultivation sect were as closed off as you, China would have
collapsed .

" Although Ye Tian felt a surge of satisfaction in his anger, he dared not say it aloud. Tang Chun was indeed very old,
but her skill far surpassed Ye Tian's. Ye Tian didn't know what
fate . In short, he wasn't willing to take the risk.

Sect Leader Tang Chun had no idea that Ye Tian was harboring so many rebellious and curse-like thoughts; she simply continued
crying. After she had cried enough, she remembered to ask Ye Tian, "Little Tian, you should go. Take your mother and the other two with
you."

This was the first time Sect Leader Tang Chun had called Ye Tian by his nickname. Ye Tian couldn't believe his ears and asked,
flattered , "What? Grandmother? You're letting us go?"

"Yes!"

Sect Leader Tang Chun nodded and said, "The Southern Yue Kingdom is about to launch a large-scale attack. I don't want
the three of to die with me."

Ye Tian hesitated and said, "But, in a way, I'm also half a member of the Jade Maiden Sect. I
can't ."

Ye Tian suddenly thought of a good idea and said, "How about this, Master, we evacuate the isolated island, leaving
the Southern Yue Kingdom with an empty island. Then I'll go back and gather troops to drive away the Southern Yue Kingdom's army."

Sect Leader Tang Chun closed her eyes and quietly shook her head, saying, "No, no. The Jade Maiden Sect has been rooted on
the isolated island for hundreds of years. It has never been breached in hundreds of years. This is the legacy left to us by successive sect leaders. I can't just
hand it over to others. As long as the isolated island exists, the Jade Maiden Sect exists; if the isolated island perishes, the Jade Maiden Sect perishes. This concerns
the lifeline of our entire sect. I have no way to retreat."

"But..."

Ye Tian pleaded unwillingly, "But we have no power to resist warships. They could destroy us
with just a few shells, while we can't even touch their ships. You can't exactly tell these modern
naval forces , 'I'll set up a Jade Maiden Sword Formation for you, and you can try to break it,' can you?"

Sect Leader Tang Chun flicked her sleeves and said, "My mind is made up; I will live and die with this island. The rest of you are free to leave! Those who wish to
leave the island , go ahead; I will not stop you!"

With that, Sect Leader Tang Chun strode back to the front courtyard of the island.

Ye Tian was extremely anxious, following her and trying to persuade her, but to no avail. At this moment, many people
knew that the Fairy Maiden Sword had left the island, and a sense of unease gripped the place; no one could sleep. Everyone gathered in the hall, whispering
amongst themselves in small groups.

Sect Leader Tang Chun strode into the hall, and Ye Tian followed.

Sect Leader Tang Chun took his seat in the highest position in the center of the hall. Before he was even fully seated, he immediately declared, "
Now , our Jade Maiden Sect is about to face a crisis unseen in centuries. The Southern Yue Kingdom has prepared its navy and
could attack at any moment. The island will be utterly desolate. Therefore, I hereby declare that all female disciples,
regardless of whether are second or third generation disciples, must immediately pack their belongings and leave this dangerous island. Go to the mainland to find
your own lives."

The female disciples did not panic. Some had already guessed this outcome when the Fairy Sword was stolen
. After all, the Southern Yue Kingdom had long coveted the island, but had hesitated because they couldn't understand its true nature.
Now with an inside agent leading the way and the sect's treasure, the Fairy Sword, stolen, wasn't this a clear sign of the Jade Maiden Sect's impending destruction
?

Many female disciples felt a sense of relief upon hearing Sect Leader Tang Chun's announcement of the dismissal, knowing that the coming navy was no
joke. Perhaps no one would leave the island alive.

Wenren Ziyu was initially delighted to hear about leaving the isolated island, but seeing her master's resolute expression
, she sensed something was amiss and asked worriedly, "Master, aren't you leaving?"

Sect Leader Tang Chun had never imagined such a thing would happen. She had never intended to leave. She
smiled , "Ziyu, your master isn't leaving. Your grandmaster entrusted this island to me, not expecting me to
revitalize the Jade Maiden Sect, but also not to hand it over to the people of Nan Yue. Since the Nan Yue people want to take the island from me,
I must make them pay the price. The island exists, I exist; the island perishes, I perish. This is the Jade Maiden Sect's home for hundreds of years;
there's no reason to give it to any outsider!"

Ye Tian hadn't expected this... The old woman, displaying a spirit of self-sacrifice, quickly stepped forward and said, "Old woman, you can
come with me. I'll go to the South China Sea to request support, and then we'll return with the navy. We'll definitely beat
the Southern Yue people to a pulp. A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle; don't worry about fighting for every inch of land." However

, Sect Leader Tang Chun suddenly said, "Ye Tian, watch this carefully. I'm a woman, not a hero. So your men's
principles of 'a great man can bend and stretch' don't apply to me. I am the leader of the Jade Maiden Sect, and I must
live and die with this isolated island. No matter what, even at the cost of my life, I'm determined to be this holdout!"

Hearing her say this, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel great respect for this old woman. Although she was ruthless and had caused
him to lose his childhood, in the face of matters of principle, this woman was calmer and more
resolute . This kind of spirit had probably been lost to the martial arts world for far too long.

Knowing further persuasion was futile, Ye Tian bowed to the old lady and said, "Alright, Master's Wife. Since
that , then I'll trouble you to stay on the isolated island while I lead all my senior sisters, junior sisters, aunts, and uncles to the South China Sea to seek reinforcements."

"Good, go! All of you go."

Sect Leader Tang Chun nodded and said to Wenren Ziyu, "By the way, Ziyu, as my first disciple,
when I'm not around, you are the leader, the sect leader. You must take good care of all your junior sisters and nieces."

Tang Chun thought for a moment, then suddenly took off a jade ring from his hand, walked to Wenren Ziyu, and
put it on her finger. He then announced to everyone in the hall, "Now I officially appoint the Jade Maiden Sect Leader..."

" The position is passed on to Wenren Ziyu. From now on, you must obey the sect leader's orders. Anyone who disobeys will be punished according to the sect rules! Now I order all of you to follow Wenren Ziyu and evacuate the island! Go, go!"

Although Sect Leader Tang Chun said "go" several times, the women still showed no sign of leaving. Because the new
sect leader, Wenren Ziyu, was still standing beside their master, they could not leave before their sect leader, neither in terms of sentiment nor in terms of reason. All the women
stood still, looking at Wenren Ziyu, waiting for her reaction.

Wenren Ziyu shook her head and suddenly knelt in front of Sect Leader Tang Chun, saying, "Master, I won't leave!"

Sect Leader Tang Chun was taken aback: "Won't leave? What do you mean?"

Wenren Ziyu said, "Master, now that I have become the sect leader of the Jade Maiden Sect, I must live and die with
the Jade Maiden Sect. Besides, this is where I grew up, my home. How can I hand over my home
to the Southern Yue people for no reason?"

"You!"

Sect Leader Tang Chun raised his hand, seemingly wanting to slap Wenren Ziyu. However, considering that she was now a newly appointed sect leader,
he felt embarrassed to embarrass her and lowered his hand. She said loudly, "Ziyu! What do you think I
passed you for? Do you think I want you to lead the Jade Maiden Sect to another place and start anew?
Don't let the Jade Maiden Sect be interrupted because of me. If the Jade Maiden Sect, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, dies because of you, you
will be the greatest sinner of my Jade Maiden Sect!"

"This..."

Sect Leader Tang Chun's words left Wenren Ziyu speechless.

Ye Tian knew that he had to act decisively at this moment. If these women continued to chatter,
the Vietnamese warships might already be approaching.

Thinking this, Ye Tian suddenly said loudly, "Mom! The Jade Maiden Sect cannot be destroyed in our hands. You have more
arduous tasks to carry out. You cannot delay the survival of the Jade Maiden Sect because of your petty temper!"

Chapter 756 Leaving

After Ye Tian's reminder, Wenren Ziyu finally realized the seriousness of the matter. Startled, she covered her mouth and
stammered, "I'm sorry, Master, I was wrong."

Sect Leader Tang Chun nodded and said, "It's good that you know you were wrong, Ziyu. Now you are the leader of the Jade Maiden Sect,
the hope of all of us. No matter what, you must not act on emotion. Go find
new homes for all the girls, and if possible, find them husbands too! Master was wrong, Master shouldn't have been
so strict with you back then… Hehe. Ziyu… can you forgive Master?"

Wenren Ziyu shook her head and said, "Master, your disciple has never blamed you. The past is the past,
you don't need to bring it up again. In short, I will definitely not let you down!"

"Good!" Sect

Leader Tang Chun smiled slightly and said, "Go, all of you go! Don't come back, you are all free
."

At this point, her eyes were already brimming with tears.

All the women of the Jade Maiden Sect were also crying their eyes out. However, they all knew the situation
was serious , so they only cried for a while before returning to their rooms to pack their things.

After they had all packed their things, they returned to the main hall as agreed. At this moment, Sect Leader Tang Chun
spun the pillar on his seat, and a loud rumbling sound filled the air.
A . Sect

Leader Tang Chun said, "Ziyu, the passage behind this door leads to the exit of Dongshan. There, on the riverbank, is
a three-masted sailing ship that hasn't been used for two hundred years. Thanks to tide-proofing, it's still usable.
Take this ship and leave the island."

"Yes!"

Wenren Ziyu agreed, tears streaming down her face. She embraced her master warmly before entering the secret
passage first. The passage was narrow, only wide enough for one or two people to pass through. It took the women more than ten minutes to all enter.
After Ye Tian went in last, Sect Leader Tang Chun smiled faintly at him, then rotated the mechanism, and
the stone door sealing the passage slowly closed again.

From now on, only Sect Leader Tang Chun would be stationed on the island. She didn't know if she was doing the
right thing, but it was the only solution she could think of in the current situation.

As the sound of thunder and rain gradually rose in the sky, Sect Leader Tang Chun silently brewed a pot of tea. She carried the tea set
back to her room, lay down on her bed, and waited patiently for the storm to begin. She knew the sailboat
would encounter difficulties that night, but she believed Ye Tian and the others could overcome them. With Ye Tian there, there was
hope .

Thinking of Ye Tian's confident smile and demeanor, Sect Leader Tang Chun couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Ye Tian was the last to reach the bottom of the cave. Wenren Ziyu, who had come down first, had already
lit all the whale-shaped oil lamps on the four walls of the cave, illuminating the entire underground area.

This cave was clearly not man-made but naturally formed. It had been modified to its current size.
What few people knew was that two hundred years ago, due to a traitor within the Jade Maiden Sect, the isolated island had suffered a
major invasion and was nearly wiped out. Fortunately, the Jade Maiden Sect leader, relying on the Jade Maiden Sword Technique, killed
several enemy masters and ultimately turned the tide of battle. This averted the fate of annihilation. Although
all were killed, the Jade Maiden Sect suffered heavy casualties and began its decline. The sect leader at the time, deeply saddened by the tragedy,
decided to design a secret escape route within the sect for unforeseen circumstances. This led to the creation of this secret passage.

At the end of the passage, in a cave, sat a three-masted sailboat, seemingly capable of carrying at least thirty to fifty people.
The female disciples happily boarded the boat, calling for Ye Tian to join them.

Ye Tian, however, was slightly taken aback upon seeing the boat. It wasn't in the water, but moored on rocks on the shore. He
wondered how much manpower and resources it had taken to pull the boat ashore. Ye Tian noticed a sled
carved . This meant that the bolt securing the sailboat must first be found and removed before it
could slide into the sea.

Therefore, Ye Tian didn't rush to board, but instead searched the area. After a while, he finally found the
bolt securing the boat at the bow. The bolt was heavily rusted; thankfully, it was made thick back then because they knew it would last a long time,
otherwise it would have broken long ago. The San Gui sailing ship would have already sailed out to sea.

Ye Tian looked around and finally found the lever to pull the bolt. But considering two hundred years had passed, he figured
the lever would be rotten by now. Nevertheless, Ye Tian tried pulling the lever anyway. Unexpectedly, although the lever was also
heavily rusted, it was unusually sturdy. Ye Tian didn't use much force and easily moved the bolt. The ship...
The two-hundred-year-old sailboat slowly slid downstream, accelerating until it finally plunged into the water with a splash.

Ye Tian chuckled and jumped aboard.

Using the momentum of the gliding motion, the sailboat continued for a long time until it emerged from the cave and gradually stabilized. The women,
seeing the two-hundred-year-old ship moving so smoothly, couldn't help but exclaim in excitement.

Ye Tian elegantly asked the women, "Ladies, who among you knows how to sail?"

The women looked at each other, completely bewildered.

Xin Yi scratched her head, walked to Ye Tian's side, and innocently asked, "Senior brother, don't you know how to sail?"

Ye Tian then slapped his forehead, thinking to himself: "Damn, this is bad, I don't know how to sail this kind of antique ship either!"

Although he thought this, he couldn't say it aloud. While Ye Tian didn't know how to sail a sailboat,
he . Three-masted sailboats mainly utilize the change of direction of the three masts, using wind power to generate propulsion, while also
taking advantage of ocean currents. Using this kind of sailboat requires profound knowledge; it's difficult for inexperienced people to sail it out to sea. Although Ye Tian had some sailing experience before
, that was with a GPS system and autopilot . However, Ye Tian never wanted to embarrass himself in front of beautiful women, especially not in front of the many beauties of the Jade Maidens Sect. He coughed lightly and said, "I learned a little about sailing techniques when I was young, but not this kind of sailboat. No problem, leave it to me. I guarantee I'll take you all back to the mainland." Saying this, Ye Tian went to the helm and pretended to turn it back and forth, just like a serious captain . The women watched Ye Tian intently turning the helm. Suddenly, they burst into laughter, with Xin Yi laughing the loudest. Ye Tian was startled and quickly turned around, asking, "What are you laughing at? Stop it! I'm just testing how to sail !" The women laughed even harder, making Ye Tian's hair stand on end and giving him goosebumps. He looked down and examined himself closely, thinking to himself: There's nothing wrong with me, what are they laughing at? Are they crazy? Just as he was feeling embarrassed, Xin Yi quickly stepped forward and grabbed Ye Tian's hand, saying, "Senior brother, you're really fierce, too fierce . You haven't even raised the sails yet, how are you going to start the ship?" Ye Tian blushed, then remembered to look up at the masts. It turned out that the three masts were completely bare . In that case, even if Ye Tian tinkered with the rudder for a hundred years, he still wouldn't be able to get to sea. No wonder they were all laughing. Chapter 757 Invitation Ye Tian saw that there were still ropes and raised sails on the masts, so he went up and pulled them up. Although the empty ship had been sitting for two hundred years, it hadn't become dilapidated. It seemed that the ancient ship used exceptionally sophisticated preservation methods. However, it was estimated that such methods had long been lost. The wisdom of the ancients was truly admirable; even with today's advanced technology , there are still many mysteries that cannot be solved. After all three sails were raised, the sailboat finally began to move slowly in the night breeze. The southwest monsoon prevailed this season , blowing continuously from the southwest and propelling the sailboat northeast. Ye Tian adjusted the rudder, hoisted the three sails at an angle, and sailed northeast against the southwest wind. The northeast was where Nanhai City was located; barring any unforeseen circumstances, the sailboat should be back in Nanhai . Having finally started the boat, they had only traveled a few hundred meters when they suddenly heard the rushing sound of water from all directions. At that moment, dark clouds filled the night sky, thunder roared incessantly, and flashes of lightning illuminated the darkness. A sharp-eyed female disciple suddenly shouted, "Ah! It's the octopus guardians! They're attacking us!" Only then did Ye Tian see clearly what was swimming towards them from all directions. In the lightning, he could vaguely see thick, long claws and enormous shells. "Prepare for battle!" Ye Tian shouted, drawing the Purple Frost Sword given to him by Wenren Ziyu. Many of the uneasy disciples also drew their swords as Ye Tian did. A youthful yet composed voice rang out from the crowd: "Wait!" It was Zhao Xinyi, Ye Tianming's junior sister. She parted the crowd and slowly walked to the bow of the boat. She took out a bright green flute and began to play. Zhao Xinyi played with great concentration, her eyes narrowed, dazzling lightning illuminating her exquisite face, and streaks of brilliant lightning dyed the endless sea. Beneath the rolling waves, the heavenly flute music carried for . A dozen or so octopus guardians gradually closed their eyes, slowly sinking into the water, never to resurface. Ye Tianming then remembered that these octopuses were guardians raised by the Jade Maiden Sect, and the Jade Maiden Sect had ways to control them . Knowing there was no danger, he gazed intently at Zhao Xinyi's beautiful and graceful back, listening to the heavenly music emanating , feeling a sense of exhilaration. Under the rumbling thunder and lightning, Zhao Xinyi's pure and flawless expression was as noble, holy, and inviolable as a goddess from mythology. The next day at noon, the sailboat finally arrived safely at the South China Sea City dock. This was largely thanks to the compass on board, which allowed the sailboat to navigate safely through the thunderstorm without losing its way. As soon as it docked, Ye Tian's three-masted sailboat attracted almost the entire city's attention. Everyone was talking and applauding the ancient three-masted sailboat. Some thought Ye Tian and his group were filming a movie, others thought it was a publicity stunt. But no one believed that the sailboat was truly a two-hundred-year-old artifact. After Ye Tian and the Jade Maiden Sect members went ashore, they drew even more astonishment. People marveled, especially at the more than thirty women on board. These women, regardless of age, were almost all beautiful. Some secretly envied the only man on board for his good fortune with women. But soon, someone recognized that the man was actually Ye Tian, the God of War of China. Although his cool expression and consistently aloof demeanor were enough to make him stand out in the crowd. People had already started loudly proclaiming, "Ye Tian! It's Ye Tian! Ye Tian, who's been missing for a month, is back!" Someone had previously filmed the entire scene of the three-masted sailboat entering the harbor with their phone, and this time everyone pointed their cameras at Ye Tian, wanting to take as many photos as possible. Many people also began to envy Ye Tian's incredible luck with women , being able to sleep on the same ship with so many beauties—of course he'd be too happy to leave! He'd be willing to disappear for a month, or even for a lifetime. Ye Tian greeted the crowd and then led the women of the Jade Maiden Sect out of the dock. During the shipwreck, Ye Tian lost all his belongings, including his ID, money, and various cards. In modern society, without…

With these circumstances, it would be almost impossible to move an inch. Fortunately, the disciples of the Jade Maiden Sect frequently went on missions to the mainland and had some savings.
Xu Yufei immediately took out her own savings to sponsor Ye Tian.

Ye Tian took them to a three-star hotel and booked twenty twin rooms for them to stay
in . The women chattered excitedly, and it took more than half an hour just to assign rooms. After finally
finishing assigning rooms, a middle-aged man suddenly came to visit, asking each of the staff about Ye Tian's room.

Curious, Ye Tian walked up to the middle-aged man and said, "I'm here today. What do you want?"

The middle-aged man carefully looked Ye Tian up and down for a while before recognizing him. He politely shook hands with Ye Tian and said, "You've lost
weight. It seems there are always trade-offs. Enjoying too much beauty can have some side effects."

Ye Tian was stunned for a moment, then understood what the man meant. He couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Among these people from the Jade Maiden Sect were his mother and his junior sister. Ye Tian would never allow anyone to insult them.
He flung the man's hand away and turned to leave.

The man quickly chased after him, apologizing profusely, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Young Master Ye. I spoke without thinking,
I misspoke!"

"Speak your mind!"

Ye Tian rarely acted so rudely, but he
couldn't help but feel angry at a middle-aged man who spoke so thoughtlessly.

"Ah! Young Master Ye, our master invites you to his residence for a chat. Here is the invitation."

The middle-aged man respectfully handed Ye Tian an invitation.

In today's society, such formality is rare. In an era where telephones have replaced traditional letters, invitations
are often electronic. Ye Tian knew that the other party's seriousness meant they valued him highly. He figured the middle-aged
man was just a messenger; he could forgive the mistake, but he couldn't afford to be disrespectful to the person in charge. Ye Tian then accepted
the invitation , which bore two lines of traditional Chinese characters written with a brush: "Young friend Ye Tian, I have long admired your name, but have never had the chance to meet you.
Now that you are in the South China Sea, I humbly request that you visit my residence. I have prepared a simple vegetarian meal and wine to entertain you, but it is of little importance. I hope you will come back."

The calligraphy was vigorous and powerful, exuding an air of commanding authority. Ye Tian knew immediately from the handwriting that this man
was no ordinary person , and that he absolutely had to meet him. However, remembering that he needed to fetch reinforcements immediately, he couldn't waste time here.
Therefore, Ye Tian politely declined the middle-aged man's invitation: "I'm sorry, I have important matters to attend to… I have accepted the invitation, and I will definitely visit your master at the address after I
finish my business."

The middle-aged man then whispered in Ye Tian's ear, "Young Master Ye, the master has important military and political matters
to discuss with you, concerning the outbreak of war in the South China Sea. I think your business is probably not as important as our master's, is it?"

War in the South China Sea? Ye Tian was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Who exactly is your master?"

The middle-aged man said, "My master wouldn't let me say, but he said you'll know once you arrive. He also told me
that no matter what , even if I have to kneel, I have to invite you back, otherwise I won't be going back."

Ye Tian nodded, knowing that he had to go this time for both reason and duty. He told his mother and junior sister
that he was going to see a very important person. Wenren Ziyu knew that Ye Tian was eager to call for reinforcements and launch a counterattack, so she urged
him to go quickly.

The middle-aged man invited Ye Tian into a Rolls-Royce Phantom. As soon as he got in, the middle-aged man drove off
steadily.

Before long, the car entered a high-level military-controlled area. Ye Tian couldn't see which department it was, but
he knew that there were guards everywhere and code words everywhere. It would be very difficult to enter smoothly;
the level of security was like that of the State Council. Ye Tian became even more curious.

The car stopped in front of a two-story villa-like building. Ye Tian got out, and a butler-like man immediately
greeted him with a beaming smile: "Young Master Ye! Greetings! The master has been waiting for you for a long time! Please, please!"

He respectfully led Ye Tian through the main gate.

Ye Tian wasn't naive; although the villa didn't look luxurious, its materials and shape
suggested it could withstand a magnitude 7 earthquake. There was also undoubtedly a safe refuge room inside. His initial estimate was that the
cost was no less than one hundred million US dollars. Anyone who could live in a villa of this caliber was certainly not an ordinary
person.

Ye Tian couldn't help but become increasingly curious about the old man living in the villa. What kind of old man
would favor a young man like Ye Tian?

Once inside the villa, Ye Tian began to truly be astonished. The villa's corridors were filled with
oil paintings of Ye Tian. Some depicted scenes of him fighting a god's disciple to save a beautiful woman in a sky hotel, while others showed him battling heroes alongside the Goddess of the Luo River on Mount Hua
. Each painting depicted Ye Tian's likeness perfectly, even lifelike. Some
even showed Ye Tian as a child, attending school with Cao Yan.

Ye Tian couldn't understand why the villa owner had hung so many paintings of him. Just then, he
saw paintings of his father, Ye Shan. Most depicted Ye Shan saving lives at his bedside, or
training diligently in martial arts from a young age. Many of these scenes and events were completely unfamiliar to Ye Tian. Looking at these paintings,
Ye Tian's shock grew stronger and stronger, beyond measure.

Who was the owner of this villa? How could he have collected so much information about Ye Tian and his father?
Judging , the villa owner must be someone within the government, perhaps even at a high level. Both Ye Tian and Ye Shan worked for the government. Therefore, the villa owner couldn't possibly be targeting Ye Tian. So why
was he collecting so much information about himself and his father ? Ye Tian wanted to ask, but the butler refused to say another word. He quickly led Ye Tian to the second floor, pointed to an open door, and said, "Master is waiting for you in that room. You'll see when you look !" With that, the butler smiled slightly and turned to go downstairs. Chapter 758 Grandfather and Grandson Meet Ye Tian, filled with questions, slowly walked to the door. The first thing he saw was a face he had seen . He had a square face, a light beard, and a face that was both kind and dignified. He looked to be in his sixties. It was Jiang Zhenglong, the Vice Premier of China, whom Ye Tian had met twice in Yanjing, and who was also Jiang Feifei's grandfather . Ye Tian suddenly realized and said, "Grandpa Jiang, so it was you who invited me, sir!" Jiang Zhenglong chuckled and said, "I didn't invite you. Someone else invited you. He just went out to wash his hands. Look, he's coming in!" As he spoke, a sprightly old man with a white beard strode in with firm steps.

When Ye Tian saw the old man's face, he suddenly froze, almost every hair on his body standing on end, his heart pounding wildly.
He felt he had seen this face somewhere before, but couldn't quite put his finger on why. The old man
also saw Ye Tian, but didn't speak. He quickly entered and sat down in the main chair in the room, seemingly
oblivious to Ye Tian's presence, and said to Jiang Zhenglong, "So, your opinion is to go to war?"

Jiang Zhenglong smiled faintly and said, "Old Ye, don't be so hasty! Back when we went to war with the Americans,
you weren't this impetuous. Now we're all old, we should be calmer. Let's
leave the young! Look, your grandson is here, let's ask him what he thinks."

The white-bearded old man then turned his head and looked at Ye Tian, saying, "Alright, what's your opinion?"

He couldn't believe this was his grandson, outwardly feigning composure, but inwardly he was extremely excited.

Hearing Jiang Zhenglong's words, Ye Tian almost jumped up in fright, asking tremblingly, "Grandpa Jiang, what
grandson?"

Jiang Zhenglong smiled and shook his head, saying to the white-bearded old man, "Old Ye, you're being abrupt, you're not even
telling your own grandson the truth."

Jiang Zhenglong turned to Ye Tian and said, "Ye Tian, doesn't this old man look familiar? Does
n't he look a lot like you? Hehe, let me tell you, his name is Ye Qianzhong, he's my old comrade-in-arms of many years, Ye Shan's
father, and your grandpa. Ye Tian, call him grandpa!"

"Ah... Grandpa... Grandpa."

Ye Tian was utterly astonished. His grandfather, whom he had never met since childhood, had suddenly appeared here.
For a while, he even felt like he didn't have a grandfather. But thinking about it, it made sense. If he wasn't
his biological grandfather, why would his house be filled with photos of him and his father, Ye Shan?

Ye Qianzhong smiled kindly, nodded to Ye Tian, and said with a hint of apology, "Child, I'm sorry.
These past years I've been carrying out secret projects for the country, so I haven't been able to find time to see my family. I feel very
sorry for you and your father."

Ye Tian nodded in understanding, "Grandpa, I understand. As a public servant, one always has to make
sacrifices. Sometimes we don't even have our own bodies, so seeing our families is even more difficult."

Ye Tian truly understood; he had already given up many opportunities to pursue women because of his busy work schedule.

Ye Qianzhong's eyes welled up with tears, and he said excitedly, "Good lad, I thought you would complain.
That's why I didn't dare mention it to you. I didn't expect you to be so understanding! Well then, your grandpa will get straight to the point. The reason I asked you to come here
today is to have you do something for me."

"What is it?"

Ye Tian asked.

Ye Qianzhong calmly said, "Spy satellites show that the South Vietnamese Kingdom has amassed a large fleet and seems to be planning to cause
trouble . I want you to go to the South China Sea with the Liaoyuan aircraft carrier battle group and drive out the South Vietnamese fleet!"

"They've already decided to go to war?"

Ye Tian was taken aback and asked in surprise.

Ye Qianzhong shook his head and said, "Go to war? It's not that easy. Once a war breaks out, both countries will bear
enormous international public opinion. Not to mention how much money a day's war will cost,
the chain reaction it will trigger will be enough to turn the international political landscape upside down. Countless
countries and organizations will seize the opportunity to completely disrupt the international situation. In particular, the Shenmen,
an organization will definitely take the opportunity to fan the flames and sow discord among nations, hoping to gain power amidst the chaos. Once this conspiracy
reaches a certain point, a world-destroying third world war will inevitably unfold. At that time, apart from
the Shenmen, the entire world will probably be a defeated nation. And no one wants to see that happen."

"Then what should I do?"

Even the battle-hardened Ye Tian seemed to struggle with political issues.

Jiang Zhenglong interjected, "Hehe, young man, don't be confused. This is a good opportunity for you to hone your skills. Originally,
the two of us decided to drag our old arms and legs along and personally go aboard the aircraft carrier to command it. However, the two old folks discussed it
here for a whole day, but still couldn't come up with a perfect plan. It wasn't until we heard the news of your return that we decided that in
the South China Sea battle, no one else could do it but you."

Although these words flattered Ye Tian, they also made Ye Tian feel even more confused. He knew that people in politics liked to
keep things mysterious, so he had no choice but to listen to Jiang Zhenglong continue to explain.

"My decision to send an aircraft carrier battle group to the South China Sea is not to actually fight South Vietnam. It's to use force to deter South Vietnam,
to make them hesitant to act, and to scare them away. So, Xiao Tian, your trip this time is just under the guise of an exercise, not a
real battle."

Only then did Ye Tian begin to understand Jiang Zhenglong's meaning.

Ye Qianzhong said, "Xiao Tian, since this is an exercise, we need to keep it under wraps. Whether in politics or the military
, you're a newcomer. Therefore, sending you to sea for this exercise is most suitable. The other side will underestimate you,
and we can secretly command you. This way, we can catch them off guard."

"Right,"

Jiang Zhenglong continued, "Remember, we absolutely cannot fire the first shot. You can demonstrate
our firepower, you can use words to psychologically attack them, but you cannot initiate war with them. This is the most
important thing. Once you fire first, international public opinion will be unfavorable to us. In short, remember to use a combination of kindness and
severity, give them a slap and then a sweet treat. Let them back down. Understand?"

Although he said this, Ye Tian didn't know how to implement it in practice. Ye Tian said, "Grandpa,
Grandpa Jiang, I've never led troops in battle before, and I know absolutely nothing about naval warfare. If I mess things up, I'm afraid the consequences
will be unimaginable ."

Jiang Zhenglong said, "What are you afraid of! Hehe, it's not like we're asking you to actually fight. Besides, if a real battle breaks out, we don't
need you to participate. Our fleet can wipe them out ten times over. Your mission is to scare them,
to scare them back to their homeland."

Ye Qianzhong interjected, "Little Tian, with Grandpa back at the rear, what are you afraid of? Don't worry, I'll
keep in touch with you from beginning to end. Just report any situation immediately."

Ye Tian knew that if he didn't agree at this point, it would not only seem pretentious, but also make his two elders look down on him.
So he smiled calmly and said, "Alright, since you two grandpas value me so much, then I will certainly
live up to your expectations and complete the mission."

Ye Qianzhong then laughed heartily, "That's right! That's more like my grandson, Ye Qianzhong. Those who dare not go to the front lines
are cowards!"

The decision was made immediately. China promptly announced that its aircraft carrier battle group had set sail for the South China Sea
to conduct a large-scale naval exercise, with the South China Sea Fleet providing full support. Commanding
this exercise was Ye Tian, who had just been promoted to Deputy Commander of the South China Sea Fleet.

This exercise involved sixteen destroyers, twenty frigates, two Song-class and
two , and four Jin-class nuclear submarines. In addition, there were multiple replenishment ships, landing ships, electronic reconnaissance ships, and minesweepers.
A total of sixty-three of the most advanced warships of the time, plus one aircraft carrier, formed the largest
aircraft carrier . And since the commander of this exercise was Ye Tian, the "God of War" of China, the version circulating among the public
referred to this aircraft carrier battle group as the "God of War Fleet." Truly, a person's reputation precedes them; once a path to greatness begins, no one
can stop their meteoric rise.

Dressed in his crisp naval uniform, Ye Tian boarded the Liaoyuan, China's first aircraft carrier, with a spirited air,
feeling a sense of exhilaration he had never experienced before. He had never imagined that one day he would become a protagonist in a war.
He knew that Jiang Zhenglong and his grandfather, Ye Qianzhong, also intended to further solidify their position in China. Otherwise, they wouldn't have entrusted him with
such important task.

After boarding the carrier, Ye Tian immediately went to his command post. The sheer size of the space on the carrier left
a deep impression on him. The entire giant ship was like a small city. Although the carrier was home to soldiers
, their lives didn't seem too boring. The carrier not only had recreational
facilities but also supermarkets, bars, and other amenities, enough to keep the soldiers entertained when they were bored.

As soon as Ye Tian entered the command post, he saw
video .

"Sirs! What are your orders?"

Ye Tian saluted respectfully and asked.

Ye Qian nodded and said, "Vice General Ye, I now order you to commence the exercise and proceed to
the isolated island in the South China Sea!"

"Yes, sir!"

Ye Tian solemnly accepted the order and immediately instructed the messenger to issue the order to depart to the entire fleet.

Soon, the fleet's sixty-three warships sailed south in orderly formation, their imposing array covering almost
half of the South China Sea.

Ye Tian switched the camera's view to the aircraft carrier, watching several destroyers leading the way. He
felt an unprecedented sense of vastness and grandeur.

The battle to defend sovereignty over the South China Sea was about to begin. Could the inexperienced Ye Tian accomplish this arduous task?

Ye Tian was extremely excited; he even dared not think about it. Although this operation was called an exercise, it was essentially
Ye Tian's first real battle leading troops into combat. If he won, Ye Tian could very well become
a new darling . But if he lost, Ye Tian could lose all his honor, and even his life.

"This is no joke, Ye Tian. You need to be on your guard,"

Ye Tian said nervously to himself.

Chapter 759: Opening the Cannons

Before nightfall, Ye Tian had already led his fleet to the location of the isolated island. However, he was surprised to find that the island
had become visible. Not only that, but many giant nautilus corpses were floating everywhere on the sea. It seemed that
the island had been breached, and the giant nautilus, a prehistoric animal, had once again tragically gone extinct.

Ye Tian didn't care whether these extraordinary creatures survived or not; he was more interested in the life or
death of Sect Leader Tang Chun. Although Sect Leader Tang Chun had prevented Ye Tian's family from reuniting for twenty years,
Ye Tian's hatred for her had gradually faded due to her forgiveness in the end. After all, the current leader of the Female Jade Sect was Ye Tian's own mother,
Wenren Ziyu. Tang Chun was now just Tang Chun, and would never be the sect leader again.

Ye Tian saw the South Vietnamese flag flying at the highest point of the island, and many South Vietnamese soldiers were standing guard around the island.
They had clearly spotted the approaching carrier battle group and rushed back to the central courtyard to report.

Seeing this, Ye Tian knew Tang Chun was likely in grave danger. However, Ye Tian had already anticipated
this fate for the old woman before leaving, so he wasn't particularly saddened. After all, she was just an
old woman .

At this moment, only a South Vietnamese troop transport ship remained beside the island. Clearly, after occupying the island, South Vietnam
had only left some troops behind before the fleet departed.

How could Ye Tian, with a carrier battle group under his command, fear a few South Vietnamese sailors? He immediately dispatched landing craft
to the shore, sending several tanks and dozens of marines ashore. He instructed them to capture as many alive as possible and
absolutely not to fire first.

The Chinese marines were among the world's most well-trained special forces, and they quickly captured all the dozen or so South Vietnamese soldiers on
the island . These South Vietnamese soldiers, seeing the Chinese fleet attacking the island, dared not
retaliate and surrendered immediately upon seeing the Chinese soldiers.

Ye Tian ordered the marines to strip them all naked and send them back to the troop transport ship, then expel the ship from the country
. Amidst the mocking laughter of the Chinese soldiers, the South Vietnamese soldiers returned to the ship, naked. They dared not linger,
obediently speeding away at top speed, afraid of being too slow.

Ye Tian, with a few men, arrived on the island, personally climbed to its highest point, removed the South Vietnamese flag, and
planted the Chinese flag instead.

Looking out, he saw several enemy warships slowly appearing in the distance, where the sky met the sea to the west.

Ye Tian smiled calmly, waved to his messenger, and said, "Pass on my order: all ships facing west,
full alert!"

With that, Ye Tian ran and jumped down the hill, returning to the aircraft carrier and his command post.

The South Vietnamese fleet arrived quickly, this time with thirty warships. However,
their warships were inferior to the Chinese warships in terms of type and function, and their combat capabilities were not on the same level. With
China 's fleet anchored by an aircraft carrier, Ye Tian could easily send planes and landing ships to attack South Vietnam's
mainland if things went wrong.

South Vietnam's current offensive is being personally commanded by Prime Minister Yuan Zhiqiang. However, he seems to have underestimated China's
swift response. His original aim was simply to occupy the isolated island, boosting his public credibility and
potentially a presidential election. He never expected such a simple action to attract a Chinese
carrier strike group. Is China determined to start a war? That wouldn't be good. Although Yuan Zhiqiang's original goal
was to instigate war between China and South Vietnam, now is not the time. He's not fully
prepared .

Ye Tian didn't care whether they were ready or not. When the South Vietnamese fleet got closer, Ye Tian suddenly
waved his hand and shouted, "Fire!"

As soon as he finished speaking, various cannons on the destroyers unleashed their fire at the South Vietnamese fleet.

The South Vietnamese fleet, of course, heard the noise and immediately reported to Yuan Zhiqiang, "Commander, should we
return fire?"

Yuan Zhiqiang shook his head and said, "No need, we're not within their range."

As a naval veteran, Yuan Zhiqiang had a thorough understanding of the basic principle of attack range. The Chinese
fleet firing at this point was meaningless; it was clearly just a show of force to deter the South Vietnamese fleet from approaching.

Yuan Zhiqiang waved his hand and said, "Pass on my order: all warships halt!"

With that, Yuan Zhiqiang picked up his binoculars and personally went to the bow of his ship to observe the Chinese fleet. Sure enough,
the cannon fire from the Chinese fleet was just a cheap pyrotechnic display; it sank the South Vietnamese warships before they even hit them.

As soon as he reached the bow of the ship, Yuan Zhiqiang saw ten aircraft take off from the Chinese aircraft carrier through his binoculars.

The planes arrived incredibly fast and menacingly. A subordinate commander immediately approached and asked, "Commander
, can we activate our anti-aircraft guns? Or should we shoot these planes down?"

Yuan Zhiqiang shook his head, calmly replying, "No need. These planes aren't here to attack."

The commander was stunned, asking in bewilderment, "Why?"

Yuan Zhiqiang glanced at him, disdainfully retorting, "When your carrier-based aircraft attack a fleet,
would you send these few pieces of junk out to their deaths without submarine and warship support, without escort aircraft
? Who do you think you're trying to sink? Even if you could sink one ship, these ten planes certainly
wouldn't make it back, understand? Do you think Chinese commanders are idiots? How did someone as stupid as you
become a commander?"

The commander blushed deeply at Yuan Zhiqiang's barrage of questions, looking at him with trepidation,
too afraid to speak.

Indeed, the ten fighter jets simply glided through the sky in a neat formation. They turned
a corner and flew back, leaving a trail of fluttering paper scraps in their wake. While the South Vietnamese soldiers were still
wondering what was going on, all ten jets had returned to the aircraft carrier.

Many of the scraps landed in the vast ocean, but many others landed on the South Vietnamese ships. Out of curiosity, many
South Vietnamese soldiers picked them up and burst into laughter.

Laughter echoed from many South Vietnamese ships, even making the cunning old pirate Yuan Zhiqiang
a little uneasy. He quickly picked up a piece of white paper that had landed beside him. What he saw made him
furious.

The paper was blank, but it was covered with a color photograph of a person. The photograph belonged to
none other than Yuan Zhiqiang, the Prime Minister of South Vietnam and the commander of this operation.

Posting a few photos wouldn't have been a problem, but these photos weren't just portraits of Yuan Zhiqiang,
but also various photoshopped images of him in different outfits. There were pictures of him dressed as a woman, of him being beaten up with blood streaming down his face and
crying, of him being completely naked, and of him being exaggerated cartoonish portraits. In short, they were the epitome of mockery and insult, utterly humiliating
Yuan Zhiqiang prime minister of the nation.

Yuan Zhiqiang's face turned red, and he immediately tore up the paper in his hand. He glared angrily at the Chinese fleet in the distance,
waved his hand, and shouted, "Fire!"

Chapter 760 The Incompetent Father-in-Law

In the command room of the aircraft carrier, a petty officer came to report: "Commander! The South Vietnamese warships have opened fire
! Should we return fire?"

Ye Tian calmly waved his hand and said: "No need, let them play for a while!"

Sure enough, the South Vietnamese fleet was just a bunch of cowards who were only brave in their own territory. They fired many shells, but they all
sank halfway through.

Ye Tian watched the splashing sea on the screen and sneered inwardly.

He knew that both sides were probing each other, waiting for the other to fire first. The South Vietnamese fleet, due to
the disparity in strength, dared not attack rashly. It seemed this matter could be resolved through negotiation.

The leaflets distributed by the planes were printed overnight by Ye Tian to weaken Yuan Zhiqiang's image and
provoke him. However, Yuan Zhiqiang's reaction seemed relatively calm; he hadn't been reckless enough to launch an attack. Now
that neither side was making the first move, how would this exercise end? He couldn't very well have Ye Tian surrender himself, could he?

Just as he was getting anxious, he suddenly heard a report from the technical department: "Commander, the South Vietnamese flagship requests a video call!"

"Oh? They want to negotiate?"

Ye Tian smiled slightly; it seemed that the old fox Yuan Zhiqiang was the first to feel guilty. He said, "Okay, connect me to
the phone!"

The technicians, upon receiving the order, immediately transferred the South Vietnamese phone signal.

Less than two seconds later, Yuan Zhiqiang's image appeared on the large screen. Just as Ye Tian had remembered,
his eyes were extremely sinister, giving off a cunning and dark feeling.

"Ye Tian, we finally meet. Hehe."

Yuan Zhiqiang said with a forced smile.

"Oh! The dead Wu Qianqian asked me to give you my regards."

Ye Tian also said expressionlessly.

Upon hearing the name Wu Qianqian, Yuan Zhiqiang paused for half a second, then recovered: "Hehe, you mean that
bitch."

"Bitch? That's an interesting way to put it. I want to know who turned her into this."

Ye Tian was extremely annoyed with Yuan Zhiqiang. Thinking that his tragedies over the past twenty years were indirectly
caused , Ye Tian gritted his teeth in hatred. But despite this, Ye Tian's expression remained completely calm. In
international politics, the most important thing is to learn to hide your attitude. So Ye Tian spoke
calmly, as if commenting on someone completely unrelated to him.

Yuan Zhiqiang already knew the whole story from Wu Qianqian's apprentice. He had a
deadly method for dealing with women; any woman who fell into his hands would obediently submit to him. So
when Ye Tian asked about the reason, Yuan Zhiqiang actually laughed gleefully, saying, "Hehe, I wouldn't know that.
But I heard Wu Qianqian almost killed your parents. And caused someone to break the taboo against incest, but I wonder who that person is?"

Ye Tian, of course, understood that Yuan Zhiqiang was mocking his past relationship with his aunt, Ji Yechen. Knowing that this
banter from mutual resentment, and that revealing each other's weaknesses would only make things worse, he feigned a cough and changed the subject, saying:
"That's all in the past, let's not dwell on it. What I want to know is: Premier Yuan, what official business is it that you've gone to such lengths, mobilizing
almost 's fleet to our Chinese waters?"

"Well, well, I'm actually here with my wife and children for a vacation in a place called 'Isolated Island',"

Yuan Zhiqiang said with feigned friendliness.

Ye Tian knew Yuan Zhiqiang was playing dumb, so he mimicked Yuan Zhiqiang's tone and said, "What a coincidence! What a
coincidence! I brought my whole family to Isolated Island for a vacation, and we just happened to run into each other."

"Haha! Well, well,"

Yuan Zhiqiang said, "Isolated Island isn't very big, but it's not small either. Why don't our two families become neighbors, each
occupying one side, without disturbing each other, and occasionally singing and dancing together? Doesn't that sound wonderful?"

Ye Tian knew that Yuan Zhiqiang was afraid to actually fight because he had seen the aircraft carrier battle group, but he dared to make exorbitant demands and
was discussing splitting the sovereignty of Isolated Island with him. But a great man of China once said, "The issue of sovereignty
is not something that can be discussed."

If Ye Tian were to discuss it with Yuan Zhiqiang, he might become a sinner against China tomorrow.

Ye Tian naturally knew the crux of the matter, so he said firmly, "No! The island belongs to our family
. Only our family members can sing and dance on it. Your family members cannot sing and dance here!"

Yuan Zhiqiang's face turned pale and then red, and he said, "But my son discovered the island first."

Ye Tian knew he was being unreasonable, so he played along, "Oh? Your son discovered it?
Do you have any evidence? I think my grandson discovered it first. In this world, it's first come, first served. What excuse do you
have for being late ? Even if your son discovered the island, why did
our family members take it over first? Since your son doesn't want it anymore, why are you still occupying the place? Does that mean that if you
don't want something, others can't have it either? What kind of logic is that?!"

Yuan Zhiqiang cursed Ye Tian inwardly for being shameless. He actually called his own son his grandson, and when it was clearly Ye Tian who drove away
his country's troops, he insisted that it was South Vietnam that didn't want them. Yuan Zhiqiang's face was sullen, but he put on a
fawning smile, which seemed very strange. He said in an almost obsequious tone, "Alright, since that's the case, I would like to ask
General Ye to tell me something."

"What is it?"

Yuan Zhiqiang said, "The island can belong to your family, and you can live there as you please. But I hope
our two families can jointly develop the island on the principle of equality and mutual benefit. Even if my family pays some rent,
at least my family should have a place to live on the island, right?"

Ye Tian knew he was still being unreasonable, so he sneered but pretended to be very sincere and said, "That really
won't work , Premier Yuan. You have to understand. My family is large, and we can't even accommodate our own family members
. Where would we find any spare space to rent to you? Besides, as you know, international travel requires visas. Even if you have
a visa for your country, you'll have to get a new one when you come to our country. So, let's be realistic. You're getting old, and
your legs aren't very mobile, so please don't travel. It wouldn't be good if you were robbed. I think you
should just go home and enjoy your retirement with your family."

Yuan Zhiqiang, of course, understood the hidden meaning in Ye Tian's words. Ye Tian's attitude was clear: either get out or fight.
But would the Southern Yue Kingdom really dare to fight?

Clearly, Ye Tian had come prepared. The fleet prepared by China was more than capable of annihilating South Vietnam twice over. In a real
fight, South Vietnam would likely be completely wiped out.

The weak South Vietnamese navy had originally planned to begin targeted
defenses . However, they hadn't even had time to settle on the isolated island before China's powerful navy had already
launched a menacing attack.

It seemed Yuan Zhiqiang's operation was likely a case of biting off more than he could chew. Yuan Zhiqiang
was so angry his beard trembled. He lowered his head to take a sip of water but choked on it. After coughing several times, he said awkwardly,
"Heh, alright, really alright. Truly a formidable young man... cough... well, since you say so, I'll
go home enjoy my family time. Have a pleasant stay on the island!"

With that, Yuan Zhiqiang waved his hand, cutting off the video call with Ye Tian's command center.

Shortly after, the South Vietnamese warships changed course and withdrew from the current waters. They quickly disappeared off
the horizon .

Ye Tian smiled slightly, waved to those around him, and said, "Exercise over, successful return!"

The order was met with cheers. This time, they had scared off the South Vietnamese navy without bloodshed—
something no one had anticipated.

That day, national news broadcast the news that China's largest aircraft carrier battle group in history
had successfully conducted a military exercise in the South China Sea. The exercise was commanded by Rear Admiral Ye Tian, Deputy Commander of the South China Sea Naval Region.

Of course, this was only the official report; the details of the standoff, negotiations, and the exchange of fire with South Vietnam
were naturally not mentioned. After all, those were classified.

Upon returning to the naval port, Ye Tian's first action was to take off his uniform and report to his grandfather, Ye Qianzhong, and Jiang Zhenglong.
Having learned from his previous experience and possessing the necessary credentials, Ye Tian easily navigated the military control area and quickly
arrived at Jiang Zhenglong's villa.

As soon as they entered the second-floor room, they heard Jiang Zhenglong praising, "Brilliant, truly brilliant! Major General Ye, you've achieved such a great feat so
early in your career . Congratulations!"

Ye Tian simply smiled faintly and humbly replied, "Not at all, it's all thanks to the excellent guidance of my two grandfathers."

Ye Qianzhong also laughed, "Hehe, kid, you don't need to pretend to be humble in front of me.
I heard everything you said during the negotiations. Impressive. Even if you sent a few old guys, the result would probably be the same."

Just then, they suddenly heard a woman calling from the doorway, "Ye Tian! You're finally back!"

Ye Tian was startled and turned around to see that it was Jiang Zhenglong's granddaughter, Jiang Feifei. Ever since she learned online that
Ye Tian had reappeared in the South China Sea, she had immediately flown from Yanjing to the South China Sea to find him.

Ye Tian never expected to run into this troublesome girl at his grandfather's house. However, having
been confined for two months, he was also very happy to see Jiang Feifei again. He greeted her with a smile:
"Feifei, you're here! I've missed you so much!"

Jiang Feifei blushed and spat, "Pah! Missed me? I don't believe it! Humph, by the way, I heard you brought
a group of women back. Did you bring Mom back?"

Ye Tian nodded: "Yes, I brought her back. Although the process was extremely difficult and painful, and I almost lost my life,
thankfully it was a close call!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qianzhong suddenly stood up: "What? Who are you talking about?"

Ye Tian quickly explained: "Grandpa, it's my mother, Wenren Ziyu. She's also your daughter-in-law."

Ye Qianzhong then slowly sat down and said: "Xiao Tian, why didn't you say so sooner? Quickly invite your mother here
to see me. To be honest, I haven't met your mother in all these years! I'm truly an incompetent father-in-law
."
