As a family of Immortal Kings, the Su family's every move attracted attention. Ye Hongyi's visit was not intended to be hidden. Within the Su family's sphere of influence, many other families and sects also learned of it.
However, these forces did not know Ye Hongyi's background, only that the Su family's little princess, not yet one year old, had become Ye Hongyi's disciple.
The Su family did not conceal this matter. If they hadn't been unsure of Ye Hongyi's attitude, they would have loved to spread the news of Su Xiao joining the Holy Emperor's lineage throughout the entire Azure Flame Realm.
Upon learning of this from Xiao Yi, Immortal King Yuhua was immediately beaming. Although Su Xiao's surname was Su, she was, after all, Xiao Yi's daughter. Su Xiao joining the Holy Emperor's lineage naturally meant that their sect also had a connection with the Holy Emperor's lineage.
"Hmph, old woman Su, you really wanted to hide this from me and monopolize the benefits," Immortal King Yuhua thought, recalling how the Su family's ancestor had been eager to send him away, and sneered inwardly.
In response, the Su family's ancestor simply glared at this old codger. They had known each other for countless years, so how could she not know what Immortal King Yuhua was thinking? However, she did not explain, because even if she did, Immortal King Yuhua wouldn't believe her. The more she explained, the more it would seem like she was trying to hide something.
Despite Ye Hongyi's request for a low profile, the Su family's ancestor still held a grand apprenticeship banquet for Su Xiao, inviting all the major forces of the Azure Flame Realm, and even Azure Flame Immortal Sovereign.
Ye Qingyan had not returned to the Azure Flame Realm for a long time and was still training Gu Xichao. Wei Qizhao received the invitation from the Su family instead.
"Why is this old woman Su suddenly being so ostentatious?"
Wei Qizhao received the invitation from his son, which only mentioned Su Xiao's apprenticeship to Ye Hongyi, without mentioning Ye Hongyi's true identity.
"Father, Ye Hongyi is one of the most dazzling geniuses on the Starry Sky Ancient Road, no less than Jun Nanzhuo and the others."
Wei Qizhao's son explained Ye Hongyi's identity from the side.
"Even if she's a genius, it's not worth the Su family ancestor being so grand, right? Could it be that this Ye Hongyi's identity is not simple?" Wei Qizhao had assisted Ye Qingyan for countless years and usually managed the entire Azure Flame Realm. Even though the Su family did not mention Ye Hongyi's identity, he immediately thought of many things.
"There are only two forces in the Red Dust Realm that could make the Su family ancestor so cautious," Wei Qizhao narrowed his eyes, his gaze flashing with wisdom.
"Father, are you saying that Ye Hongyi is backed by the Gu family or the Holy Emperor Palace?" Wei Qizhao's son was immediately shocked. Other forces in the Red Dust Realm were not scary, but the Gu family and the Holy Emperor Palace were the most terrifying.
Even without the Holy Emperor, a Holy Emperor family was not something they could compare to, because the Holy Emperor also had a son, the Desolate Ancient Great Emperor, an Immortal Sovereign expert, just like their Azure Flame Immortal Sovereign.
At this time, they did not yet know that Ye Qingyan had already become an Immortal Emperor.
And the Holy Emperor Palace was even more incredible. In addition to the Holy Emperor, there was also the elusive Houtu Empress, a powerhouse at the level of breaking the Dao.
"Ye Hongyi's surname is Ye, so it's unlikely she's from the Gu family. In that case, it can only be the Holy Emperor Palace."
Even though Wei Qizhao had lived for countless years, he was still taken aback by the answer he had guessed.
Since the advent of the Virtual God Realm, Wei Qizhao knew that the waters of the Red Dust Realm were too deep. Therefore, in the two to three thousand years since Princess, . Ye Qingyan, had disappeared, he had been restraining the experts of the Azure Flame Realm, prohibiting True Immortals and above from leaving the Azure Flame Realm and entering the Red Dust Realm without permission.
He was afraid that if the Immortal Realm experts of their Azure Flame Realm bullied the younger generation there, they would attract a behemoth they couldn't afford to offend. Then he would be letting down the Princess.
"Prepare a generous gift." Thinking of this, Wei Qizhao said to his son.
His son nodded and said, "Father, I understand. I will go with a generous gift."
"What are you going to do? Your father will go himself." Wei Qizhao glared at his son.
"Father, there's no need for you to go in person, right? Even if Ye Hongyi is backed by the Holy Emperor Palace, she's still only a Guiyi Realm cultivator, not even a Supreme." His son was very puzzled. As long as the etiquette was in place, wouldn't that be enough? Was it necessary for an Immortal King to personally deliver the gift?
"What do you know? This is an opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of the Red Dust Realm."
Wei Qizhao looked at his son with disappointment. If that girl Xingxing were here, she would definitely understand what her grandfather meant immediately. He didn't know how this stupid boy gave birth to such a shrewd daughter.
His son shrank his neck from Wei Qizhao's glare. Seeing this, Wei Qizhao said, "Go, go home and bring the Vermillion Bird Divine Medicine from my yard."
"Father, the Vermillion Bird Divine Medicine will grow into an Immortal Medicine in a few thousand years. Are you going to give it to that Ye Hongyi?" His son's mouth opened slightly, looking at Wei Qizhao in shock.
Ordinary Divine Medicines were fine, but the Vermillion Bird Divine Medicine was a Divine Medicine that his father had meticulously cared for for hundreds of thousands of years. Even after it became an Immortal Medicine, it would be stronger than ordinary Immortal Medicines. Even he, his son, was not allowed to touch it, but now he was going to give it as a gift to a Guiyi Realm cultivator.
"Why so much nonsense? Am I your father, or are you my father?" Wei Qizhao glared at him.
His son still wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't dare to say it. Although he was already married and had a career, and was not young, the belt made of True Dragon skin in his father's house would definitely hit him without hesitation.
So he had no choice but to scurry home to prepare the gift.
Wei Qizhao looked at his son's fleeing back and snorted softly, "Stinky brat, it's been a long time since I've spanked you, and you dare to talk back."
However, thinking that Ye Hongyi was very likely from the Holy Emperor Palace, he wanted to notify the Princess. However, since the Princess left the Azure Flame Realm three thousand years ago, she had never returned. He had tried to contact her many times, but to no avail.
If it weren't for the group of Azure Flame fire left by the Princess in the palace still burning, he would have worried about whether something had happened to the Princess.
At the same time, the Hua family, which had kinship with the Su family, a couple was having a secret conversation.
"Madam, it has been verified that the murderer who killed our son, Li Beifei, is Ye Hongyi's junior brother." The man's expression was extremely gloomy at the moment, and his voice was extremely low.
And when the beautiful woman sitting opposite him heard the name Li Beifei, a fierce murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
"Poor Hua Xiong, to think he died at the hands of such lowly natives. And Su Yao, she clearly promised us that she would take good care of Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong is her cousin, yet she is now letting her daughter become Ye Hongyi's disciple. She is simply a heartless bitch."
The beautiful woman's voice was full of resentment and murderous intent, not only towards Li Beifei, but also towards Ye Hongyi and even Su Yao.
"Madam, be careful!"
Seeing that she even hated Su Yao, the man panicked and quickly told her not to talk nonsense.
But the beautiful woman obviously didn't listen, only to hear her say: "Be careful? Am I wrong? She can't possibly not know that Hua Xiong was killed by Li Beifei, and she can't possibly not know that Ye Hongyi, that bitch, is Li Beifei's senior sister. But she still let her daughter become Ye Hongyi's disciple. Does she even see me, this aunt, in her eyes?"
The man was silent when he heard this. His elder brother was Su Yao's father, and he had a high talent, but in the end, he still fell under the Immortal Ascension Tribulation.
"Madam, don't worry, I won't let our son die in vain." The man said with a gloomy expression.
"What can you do?" The beautiful woman's eyes lit up.
"Isn't Ye Hongyi a peerless genius of the Starry Sky Ancient Road? Presumably there are many geniuses in the Azure Flame Realm who want to challenge this peerless genius. Hehe, battles inevitably have accidents. It's reasonable for someone to accidentally take out a forbidden weapon that can kill a Supreme, right?"
The man said with a smile, his eyes full of cold light.
Both of them were Supreme cultivators, and it was easy to refine a few forbidden weapons that could exert the strength of a Supreme in one go. No matter how strong Ye Hongyi was, she was only at the peak of the Guiyi Realm. They didn't believe that she could withstand the power of the forbidden weapon.
"That's great, but we can't come forward in person." The beautiful woman said happily, but also very afraid.
"Don't worry." The man looked confident.
"Blame it on being the senior sister of the murderer who killed our son." The couple looked at each other and sneered.
"I just returned from the Chaos, and from far away, I heard you plotting to scheme against my disciple."
At this moment, a figure in green was already sitting beside them at some unknown time, looking at them indifferently.
