Chen Yihan said awkwardly, “This…I have no idea what to do about this either. Let’s wait for General Fei Long’s return.

“The nerve of you. Are you not going to kneel before me?” Seeing that Yun Chuchu entered the palace without a word, completely ignoring her as she immediately started talking to Chen Yihan, Li Mengli’s initial good mood was ruined. Having been arranged by her brother to come to the Chen Family to matchmake her and Chen Xiao, she immediately burst out in anger.

Yun Chuchu said with an expression of curiosity, “Who are you? Why should I kneel down before you?”

“Who am I? You have the nerve to ask me who I am? It is I who is asking you – who are you? I’ve never seen the likes of you in the Marshal Residence. Are you Sister Yanzhi’s servant?” Li Mengli said with an arrogant face.

“Mengli, this lady here is Ye Mo’s friend. Ye Mo is the chief elect league member of the Qingyun League’s Xuan Ji sub-league.” Chen Yihan explained.

“Oh, a friend of the league chief elect. That explains the lack of respect.” Li Mengli nodded her head before continuing saying, “So, why is the Qingyun League’s chief elect league member at your Chen Family? Is this about the league war?”

“Mengli, there is a marriage contract between Ye Mo and Yanzhi. He is here to cancel the engagement.”

“What? Cancel the engagement?”

Li Mengli rose her eyebrows as if she had heard the most miraculous thing in the world. Her surprised tone carried a hint of anger. “Which idiot is it? To be so clueless as to suggest for the marriage to be called off. Does he think that he is not good enough for Sister Yanzhi? That is understandable. No, even if the marriage is going to be called off, it should be the Chen Family doing it.”

Chen Yanzhi was a prominent figure even in the Heaven’s Wall City, an elite amongst the masses. Even if Ye Mo was the league chief elect, he was barely considered worthy enough to match her.

“That Ye Mo is a prodigy. Xuan Ji treats him with the utmost importance. I’m also quite satisfied with him. However, some complications happened between the two of them, hence why the two of them both want to call off the wedding. However, I sent the two of them on an incredibly difficult mission. If they are able to complete it, the marriage will be automatically called off. If not, I will ensure that the two of them get together, even by force.”

Chen Yihan was an old-fashioned man who also meant what he said.

“Marshal Chen, looks like you’ve arranged an extremely daunting task for the two of them.”

Li Mengli understood Chen Yihan’s personality, more or less – he was famous for being stubborn. Since there was a marriage that was agreed upon, there was a possibility that he would allow Chen Yanzhi to marry Ye Mo even if he was garbage.

“Yes, I sent the two of them to lead one thousand Chen Family soldiers to exterminate the Northwest Bandits.” Chen Yihan smiled.

“What? You sent them to destroy the Northwest Bandits? How is that possible?” Li Mengli said, surprised. “I heard that your Chen Family army’s General Fei Long had led your troops to attack the Northwest Bandits multiple times but to no avail. No matter how strong that Ye Mo person and Sister Yanzhi are, they will not be able to do it.”

“Yes, Yanzhi had already returned here previously. The situation was not looking good. She called for General Fei Long immediately upon her return – and said that Ye Mo may be facing some troubles.” Chen Yihan said.

Hearing that, Yun Chuchu, who was standing aside, instantly turned pale as she asked, “Marshal Chen, how is Brother Mo doing now?”

“I don’t know the specifics either. Let’s wait for General Fei Long’s return.” Chen Yihan replied.

Hearing that, Yun Chuchu walked out instead, looking around anxiously in all directions.

“She must be that Ye Mo’s lover, seeing that she has been constantly talking about “Brother Mo”. She is quite good-looking. Now I want to see exactly who this Ye Mo is.” Li Mengli held her head with her arm as she said curiously.

After a couple of hours, Yun Chuchu saw three shadows appearing in the sky. With her expression immediately turning to delight, she opened her Firecloud Wings and flew over anxiously.

“Chuchu!”

Upon seeing Yun Chuchu flying directly towards them, Ye Mo immediately jumped down and moved towards her as he opened his Bright Dragon Wings.

“Brother Mo, are you okay? Marshal Chen said that something bad had happened to you. I was almost scared to death.” Yun Chuchu said with a face of worry.

“Haha, Chuchu, I am a strong man. Let’s head down!”

Ye Mo laughed loudly as he held Yun Chuchu’s petite hand and landed directly at the doorstep of the Marshal Residence.

Chen Yanzhi felt a little upset in her heart upon witnessing that sight. After Ye Mo and Yun Chuchu landed on the ground, they waited for Chen Yanzhi and General Fei Long to descend before the four of them headed into the palace.

As Ye Mo, Chen Yanzhi and General Fei Long saw Li Mengli, they all showed expressions of surprise. Seeing Ye Mo’s charming face, Li Mengli was also filled with shock.

“It’s you!”

Ye Mo and Li Mengli shouted at the same time.

“Mengli, you know Ye Mo?” Seeing such expressions of shock on their faces, Chen Yihan could not help but ask.

“He is Ye Mo? Isn’t he Ye Xiao?” Li Mengli said with a suspicious look.

“Ye Xiao is my brother!”

Ye Mo frowned. This lady called Mengli must be someone of extremely prominent status. Regardless of what happens, he will not admit that he is Ye Xiao. Otherwise, this Mengli girl might really end up doing things to harm Chuchu.

“Hmph, stop lying to me, Ye Xiao.”

Li Mengli looked at Yun Chuchu with a sinister glance as she said, “Are you not going to admit what you have done in the past? Say, how are we going to resolve this?”

“Mengli, what exactly is going on here?” Chen Yihan was completely puzzled.

“Nothing much. I merely had some conflicts with him in the past.” Li Mengli said nonchalantly.

“Conflicts?”

Chen Yihan was incredibly intrigued. Immediately turning to Ye Mo, he asked, “Ye Mo, what conflicts did you have with Mengli to make her so furious? Come forward quickly!”

“This!” Ye Mo was at a loss for words. Was he going to tell him about the “conflict” that they had?

“Marshal Chen, don’t probe Ye Mo further. This is between us and I will settle it. I shall take my leave first. Also, Ye Mo, come to my room at night. If you don’t, I hope you know the consequences.”

After that, without acknowledging anyone, she left the palace.

Seeing that the Princess did not want to speak further about it, Chen Yihan naturally stopped the questioning. Sitting down, he asked, “How did you two fare on this mission? Yanzhi, tell me.”

From his tone, it was evident that Chen Yihan did not have high hopes for the result.

Chen Yanzhi spoke truthfully. “Father, this mission to eliminate the Northwest Bandits can almost be described as perfect. The bandits were completely eliminated. The One Armed Butcher and the Daomark Ancestors were all slaughtered.”

“What? All slaughtered?” Chen Yihan was taken by surprise.

“Yes!” Chen Yihan told the story of how she eliminated the Northwest Bandits with Ye Mo. The more Chen Yihan listened, the more surprised he was.

He was most surprised by the fact that Ye Mo had healed 700 wounded Chen Family soldiers by himself and led them to display the Killing Dragon Formation to slaughter the One Armed Butcher. Chen Yihan’s whole body was plunged into momentary shock – this Ye Mo was even more godly than his father was.

“Marshal Chen, since I’ve completed the mission, please call off our marriage.” Ye Mo held his hands together as he spoke.

“It is true that the mission has been completed. However, you did promise me before that the mission will be considered a failure if we lost more than 10 percent of our soldiers. However, I am not a man who does not know when to be flexible. How about this: I shall keep the marriage contract with me, and we will discuss this again in this future.” Chen Yihan waved as he spoke.

“This!” Ye Mo was hesitant.

“What? Are you telling me that you refuse?” Chen Yihan rose his eyebrows, a hint of anger detected in his voice.

“I dare not. If that’s the case, then I shall take my leave first!”

Putting his hands together, Ye Mo held Yun Chuchu’s hand and left the palace.

Yanzhi walked forward and sighed. “Father, why are you making life difficult for him?”

“Yanzhi, I am not doing this to make his life difficult. The Tianwu Kingdom is changing, and who else other than the son of Ye Qing is able to rescue the kingdom’s fate? You need to be with him for our Chen Family to survive. I’m afraid that the Emperor sending Princess Mengli here is not as simple as it seems.”

Chen Yihan’s face turned solemn as he patted Yanzhi’s shoulder before leaving.
