The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix-Chapter 169 - The Three Members Of The Ye Family

"The demonic cultivators of the Demonic Sect invaded, and the Master of the House, Immortal Master Li, fell... A lot has happened. An official announcement should be released soon."

"The Demonic Sect... Hiss..." Ye Ao took a deep breath and frowned. "First, there was the Grand Master from the Magical Poison Sect, now it's the Demonic Sect. The world is changing indeed. And how come you're there every time something like this happens?"

Ye Anping forced a smile and answered, "It's pure coincidence."

With a worried look, Kong Yulan took Ye Anping's hand. "Anping, remember, in the future, if you encounter demonic cultivators again, stay away. You don't need to show off your strength. Let those powerful cultivators handle the matters of demonic cultivators. We should just live our own lives because staying alive is what matters most. Don't think about sacrificing your life."

"Tsk, Yulan, it's not that simple. This matter of demonic cultivators concerns the entire Immortal Realm. Even if we are a small sect, we still have to contribute if we can. Ping knows this in his heart."

Kong Yulan ignored him disdainfully and continued, "Ping, just remember this: if you get into any trouble that you can't handle yourself, come find me. I will protect you no matter what."

"Um."

Kong Yulan smiled, then took the teapot and poured some tea into Ye Anping's cup before asking, "Well, enough with these things for now; let's talk about something good instead. By the way, Ping, you're at the age to get married too, right? Aren't you affected by the yang excess? Didn't Elder Wang say that you should take a few concubines?"

Ye Anping replied after a pause. "Mother, there's no rush about that matter."

"Why is there no rush? Didn't you say you had to sleep with little Pei because of your yang energy? Then, marry little Pei. She grew up with you, so we could have the wedding banquet in our Hundred Lotus Sect, which would be convenient, right? If you want to get married again later, we can arrange another wedding. That young lady of the Black Star Sect and that white-haired girl with the Holy Emperor bloodline..."

Ye Ao glanced at Kong Yulan and interrupted her. "Yulan, this won't work. If Ping really wants to marry those two, then the first wedding ceremony must be with Miss Xiao, the second one with Miss Feng, and only after that can we have little Pei... We need to follow proper etiquette. Miss Xiao holds the most weight here; if the Holy Emperor hadn't already died, Miss Feng would come first..."

"But Ping likes little Pei the most; he even hugs her to sleep."

"Just look at mortal emperors; their favorites are usually not the empress but noble consorts. So when it comes the time for us to give some ranks, they will go to little Pei..."

...

Looking at his parents arguing over this issue, Ye Anping had a headache. He slapped the table and frowned. "Stop!! Father, Mother, my marriage is my own business. I will consider it myself, and it's not a topic for now. With the invasion of demonic cultivators and the impending chaos in the world, my sister and I should focus on cultivation instead of getting married and having children. This is for our own safety and future planning."

Since he used the greater good as an argument against personal feelings, Ye Ao and Kong Yulan couldn't find reasons to refute it.

Ye Ao smiled and took a sip of tea. "Well, you can figure it out yourself. We are not a big family anyway. As the Young Master, you should take charge of your personal matters."

"Right."

Then, he seemed to remember something and turned his head to look at the desk in the center of the pavilion. He picked up a jade slip from there and placed it in front of Ye Anping.

"Speaking of your marriage, there's this jade slip... Anping, take a look, would you?"

"My marriage?"

Ye Anping frowned, glancing at the jade bamboo slip, and was surprised to see a golden spirit sword emblem carved on it. This should have been sent by the Moon Shadow Sword Sect.

The Moon Shadow Sword Sect was located at the border between the Southern Region and the Western Region, thousands of miles away from the Hundred Lotus Sect. Moreover, the Hundred Lotus Sect was a third-rate small sect not even worth their attention. Why would they send a jade slip here?

Ye Anping did not rush to check the contents of the jade slip. He lowered his head in contemplation and suddenly realized that it was probably because they had heard that the Black Star Sect had given the spirit stone veins in the Dragon Cloud Valley to the Hundred Lotus Sect, thus, they wanted to 'make contact'.

This move was like trying to invest. Because they thought the Hundred Lotus Sect would develop greatly in the future, they wanted to invest in them while they were still at their inception.

However, based on his understanding of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect, they definitely didn't just come over to invest.

After thinking of this, Ye Anping reached out to take the jade slip and read it with his spiritual sense.

There were a thousand characters written on the jade slip, but no matter how he looked at it---left or right, up or down---Ye Anping could only conclude this:

---Human trafficking.
