Evil Emperor's Wild Consort - chapter-647

“This girl is a genius.” As he spoke, Ye Lan’s face glowed with
admiration, “A true genius whom I’ve met before!”

Ye Xingtian widened his mouth in shock, “Didn’t you say that Nuo’er was
the true genius?”

“That was before I had met this little girl. That boy, Ye Nuo, is indeed
rather talented. However, though I’ve pumped him up with so damned many
medicines since he was a child, he’s only reached the rank of a Martial
King. This girl, however, has reached the rank of a Martial Honor!”

Just because Ye Nuo had managed to become a Martial King at age ten does
not mean that he would become a Martial Honor at age twenty.

This was because once one has attained the rank of a Martial King, the
subsequent ranks will only become harder, making it a difficult process
to become a Martial Emperor. If one wishes to advance to the rank of a
Martial Honor, the difficulty would be increased many times over.

So, after hearing that there was someone who was more talented than his
own son, Ye Xingtian’s face was filled with shock.

“A twenty-year-old Martial Honor? Where had this girl come from to become
a genius of this caliber?”

“Honestly, after my return to the Ye family home, I had sent some men to
investigate this girl’s background. However, she seems to have appeared
out of thin air. We don’t know where she’s come from! Also, at the time,
I had witnessed a scene with my very own eyes! You’ve been to Black Rock
City before as well so you should know of the Wolf’s Fang Robbers who
reside outside of the city! That leader of the Wolf’s Fang Robbers was a
mid-level Martial Honor! However, it was this girl who had
single-handedly stormed the peak of the great mountain and used her
newly-broken through powers to annihilate the entire robbery gang.”

Ye Lan’s expression held unbridled admiration as if he did not even see
the shock in Ye Xingtian’s eyes.

Those Wolf’s Fang Robbers weren’t exactly weak yet she had
single-handedly destroyed them?

This… Are the heavens in reverse?

“After destroying the Wolf’s Fang Robbers, this girl used her powers to
subdue the entire Black Rock City on her own.”

Without even waiting for Ye Xingtian to snap out of his stupor, Ye Lan
made him completely dumbfounded again with this new piece of information.

At the time, not even the tyrannical Wolf’s Fang Robbers were able to
subdue the proud and arrogant people of Black Rock City. Somehow, this
girl had made the entire Black Rock City yield to her? It’s no wonder
that my father, who normally had extremely high expectations, would
admire a twenty-year-old girl so greatly. And it’s no wonder that he
would devise plans around this girl.

“Unfortunately…” Ye Lan signed disappointedly, “If Gu Ruoyun had given
me a different request, I would definitely have agreed to it without any
second thoughts! Only the Hell’s Lotus was off limits! I’ve relied on the
Hell’s Lotus to sustain my life. If I was to lose the Hell’s Lotus, that
would mean that my time was up. I don’t mind dying but I simply cannot
leave the Ye family in peace. Even with my intentions to draw this girl
to our side, what use is there even if she was a genius? Without the
support of a Martial Supreme, my Ye family will be swallowed up by
vicious enemies.”

“Father…” Ye Xingtian’s eyes darkened, “If I could only continue my
cultivation, perhaps you would not have such a huge burden.”

Ever since that incident, he had lost his ability to cultivate and has
remained as a low-level Martial Honor since.

Ye Xinglin’s talent was not strong enough. He simply could not hold up
the fort alone.

“Forget about it, we’ll play it by ear.” Ye Lan laughed bitterly, “I owe
the Gu girl for the situation regarding the Hell’s Lotus so you must help
her find information about the Hell’s Lotus as soon as possible.”

Even so, Ye Lan knew how difficult this task would be.

Years ago, he had narrowly escaped death for the sake of this particular
Hell’s Lotus. Accessing the other Hell’s Lotus would probably be just as
dangerous.

Ye Xingtian said nothing else. All he knows was that he must fulfill his
father’s wishes no matter what.

“Let’s go, I’ll show you what the Hell’s Lotus looks like first. It will
make things easier in your search.”
