time, leaving her with no desire to stay.Mother and son were talking when Gu Qingcheng's phone call came in: "Xiaofan, I booked Tianhao Grand Hotel for tonight. Come over with your aunt this evening."..."This…"

Huo Jian's expression was consistent, and then he said with a sneer: "Grandpa, are we just going to forget about this"

"Can't you use your head and think about how this will affect us"

Ho Dongping wore a look of frustration. Ye Bufan's victory completely shattered his previous plans, and endless trouble followed.

Huo Jian was a little stunned and asked in confusion, "Grandpa, if that kid won, he won. It doesn't really have much to do with us, does it Could he possibly threaten us"

"He doesn't have the guts to attack us, at least not yet. But right now, we don't have the power to kill him either."

"Isn't that alright We can just go back to the Heavenly Palace, what else can he do to us"

"You idiot, can't you use your brain for once"

Ho Dongping glared at him fiercely, "Have you forgotten the 10 billion yuan you bet before It's all gone now!"

As the saying goes, "a poor scholar is rich in martial arts". As a martial artist, their daily consumption is enormous. Without money, they wouldn't be able to purchase the resources needed for training.

"I..."

Huo Jian suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head. He remembered that he had bet the entire fortune of the Aoki Sword Sect, and now Ye Bufan's overwhelming victory meant that he was completely ruined.

"Damn Ye Bufan, why did he have to win Why didn't he die Now all our money is gone!"

This guy gritted his teeth, adding a few more points to the hatred in his heart.

"Money is only one part of it; the other is the face we've lost this time."

Hu Dongping said, "This time we represent the Heavenly Palace to descend into the mortal world. Until now, nothing has been accomplished, and we have even allowed Yunxia Mountain to run rampant. If we are held accountable by the palace master, how can we explain ourselves"

" "

As a pampered wastrel who grew up in a greenhouse, Huo Jian was immediately at a loss for words when his grandfather said this.

"Grandpa, we have to figure something out!"

What are you arguing about Aren't I thinking right now

Ho Dongping said annoyedly, then with his hands behind his back, he paced the room like Situ Changkong had before.

After a while, he suddenly stopped, his eyes flashing with a glint of cunning.

Huojian asked eagerly, "How is it Grandpa, is there a way"

Ho Dongping nodded. "The best way to solve this trouble is to kill Ye Bufan."

As long as he dies, not only will we avenge our great grudge, but when the Palace Master asks, we can make up any excuse and get away with it without worrying about being exposed later.

"We could even change the story and say that we withdrew from Yunxiashan."

"Grandpa, I'm worried this won't work," Huo Jian said anxiously. "After all, so many people are watching."

"What's the use They can't even enter the Heavenly Palace, let alone see the Palace Master," Huo Dongping said. "Besides, most of the time, the Palace Master is in seclusion cultivating, and it's unlikely they'll leave the palace. This matter will just pass if we keep quiet."

"But Grandpa, there's also those two old fellows, Situ Changkong. I'm afraid they won't keep our secret back then."

Ho Dongping's face was grim: "The most urgent thing is to kill Ye Bufan. The rest will be easy, at most I'll find a chance and erase their memories."

Hu Jian said, "Grandfather, why don't we launch a surprise attack and kill him off"

"This won't work!" Huo Dongping shook his head. "That kid is very powerful, he can even kill a powerhouse at the imperial level, who knows how much strength and means he's hiding Even assassination doesn't guarantee success."

"Once it fails, the consequences are unimaginable."

"Since the sneak attack didn't work, it seems there's no other way."

"Of course, we can use him as a knife." Huo Dongping's eyes flashed with cunning. "I don't believe his strength, no matter how strong it is, could surpass the Heavenly Palace or the Palace Master."

Huo Jian looked utterly confused: "Grandpa, what do you mean How could the palace master possibly help us kill Ye Bufan"

"Normal is impossible, but we can figure something out..."

Ho Dongping lowered his voice and laid out his plan.

Ho Jian said nervously, "Grandpa, will this work"

"As long as we are careful, it is completely feasible. And at this point, there's no better alternative."

"Having said that, Huo Dongping took strides towards the door. "Let's go. Time is of the essence. Once Ye returns, it will be too late to act."

After the two of them finished speaking, they left Xuanyuan Pavilion together and headed towards the Changsun family.

Inside a villa in Changsun's manor, Ouyang Lan and Changsun Dongju were sitting together chatting. As she knitted a sweater, she said, "Why is it so quiet at home today"

Xiaofan and the others, I don't know where they went. I always feel like this kid is hiding something from us.

As for today's duel, Ye Bufan didn't tell the two elders about it out of fear that they would worry.

"Sister, there's no need to worry. When children grow up, they will always have their own things to be busy with." Chang Sun Dongju was very calm, "Our son is so capable now, he can handle many things very well on his own. We don't need to rush with him either."

Ou Yanglan nodded. "Yes, we just want to help, but we can't really do anything."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a jarring voice rang out beside her.

"Don't say it like that, you two are still useful."

Ouyang Lan turned her head and saw that an elder and a young man had appeared in their room at some point.

The two of them were startled at once. They knew that the Changsun family had strict defenses, especially for their villa where they lived. The guards there were even more rigorous, and strangers couldn't get in at all.

Changsun Dongju stood up and asked, "Who are you Who let you in What do you want"

"What are we going to do We should ask your good son." Huo Jian looked at the two people fiercely. "Tell me, which one of you is Ye Bufan's mother"

"I am!"

Feeling the malice in the other party's words, Ouyang Lan and Changsun Dongju both rushed to answer, not wanting the other party to be hurt.

Ho Jian's expression darkened: "This kind of thing is still being grabbed Honestly, who is it"

“I am, I am Xiao Fan’s mother!”

Ouyang Lan, while speaking, winked at Changsun Dongju, signaling her not to compete with her.

"But how could Changsun Dongju let her take the suffering for herself She quickly said, "That's wrong, that's wrong. She's just my adoptive mother, I am Ye Bufan's biological mother. Just tell me anything, don't involve her."

"Damn it, there are actually two mothers." Huo Jian looked at Huo Dongping, "Grandpa, which one do we take"

"Let's take it together."

Ho Dongping finished speaking, he flicked his finger twice, sending two streaks of wind that sealed the acupoints of Changsun Dongju and Ouyang Lan.

Then he and Huo Jian each picked up a person and left the room.

"Stop right there!"

They had just entered the courtyard when a nun wielding a long sword blocked their path. It was Qingye Abbess.

Master Qingye stayed at the Changsun family to cultivate, taking care of both Ouyang Lan and Changsun Dongju's safety. Hearing something amiss, she immediately came to investigate and ran into Huo Dongping and his grandson.

"Get out!"

Huo Dongping simply waved his sleeve, and a violent surge of energy sent Qingye Shi Tai flying dozens of meters away. She spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

There's no way, the gap in cultivation between the two is simply too great.

Ho Dongping didn't even glance at it, then grabbed Ouyang Lan and rose into the air. Huo Jian followed closely with Changsun Dongju, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.wn safety.Although there are strong individuals like Zheng Sanbao, Nalan Yujia, and Li Daoran by my side, the current situation suggests that they might not be enough.For example, even with these thre...
