Chapter 389: What a Pity

After the fire was extinguished, Xue Fanxin ordered people to put on masks. She first used water to extinguish the fire and prevented the smoke from dissipating. Then, she instructed the guards to list the burned place as a forbidden area. No one was to approach it for three days.

Yi Qingshan had not left yet. He had been watching Xue Fanxin do her work. This little girl was calm and capable when faced with trouble. At such a young age, she already had the demeanor of a leader. Such a woman was not simple.

It was a pity that his stupid son had missed such a good girl!

If the Yi family could have such a good daughter-in-law, their future would definitely be limitless. What a pity.

“Ninth Imperial Consort, Fentian being saved by the Ghost King has nothing to do with my Yi family. From now on, Yi Fentian is no longer the Young Master of the Yi family. Everything he does in the future will have no relation to us. The Yi family will not do anything to the Ninth Lord’s Estate for him.”

“Master Yi, you’re severing your father-son relationship with Yi Fentian?” Xue Fanxin couldn’t see through Yi Qingshan. When other families encountered such a thing, they would usually stand on their people’s side and unite against the outside world. Furthermore, Yi Fentian was Yi Qingshan’s biological son and the Young Master of the Yi family.

What forced Yi Qingshan to make such a bad decision?

“That’s right. From now on, Yi Fentian is no longer my son or a member of the Yi family,” Yi Qingshan said without hesitation. His tone was decisive, indicating that he was serious.

“Can you tell me why?”

“For the Yi family’s survival, I have to do this. Since this matter is over, I’ll take my leave first.” Yi Qingshan did not explain much. He bowed to Xue Fanxin before leaving. After walking out of the Ninth Lord’s Estate, his heart got heavier. Thinking of his son who had been saved by the Ghost King, he was fraught with worry.

…

He was not concerned about Yi Fentian’s life but that he would do something in the future that would implicate the Yi family.

On the other side, Yi Fentian was brought to an underground palace. Though it was nothing magnificent, it was still a masterpiece. Every stone inside was cut neatly, and the mechanisms and traps were even more exquisite. If no one led the way, entering this place would mean death.

Yi Fentian did not recognize his savior. He only knew that he was powerful. After entering the underground palace, he had been following that person. They soon reached a place that seemed to be a hall. He could not help but ask, “Who are you? Why did you save me?”

“I’ll save anyone the Ninth Lord’s Estate wants to kill. I just saved one a few days ago, and I saved another today. Indeed, good things come in pairs!” The Ghost King stood on the stairs of the hall, facing the chair carved from jade. His back was toward Yi Fentian.

“You are… the Ghost King.” Even though he only saw the other party’s back, Yi Fentian could still guess his identity from his words.

Everyone in Heavenly Saints City knew that the Ghost King and Ye Jiushang were sworn enemies. These two were mysterious and unfathomable. Up to today, neither of them had emerged victorious.

The Ghost King did not answer his doubts directly. Instead, he continued, “If you want revenge, then work hard here. Once you have achievements or opportunities to come, I’ll let you take revenge with your own hands. By the way, let me tell you something. Yi Qingshan has expelled you from the Yi family.”

“What? My father is really that ruthless?” Yi Fentian was a little confused about this new place, but after getting the news, the hatred in his heart rose to a thousand feet.

He was no longer the Young Master of the Yi family. If he was expelled from the Yi family, wouldn’t he have nothing now?

Why was that?

He was really ruthless!
