When a Master of Metaphysics Marries into a Wealthy Family

e would get bored, Shen Ye jokingly said, “This mountain is full of spiritual energy.
There are many precious medicinal herbs.
Let’s pick some when we come down and give them to Grandpa and Grandma.”

Ye Ze softly responded, “Okay.”

“There are also some spiritual creatures in the mountains.
Are you afraid?” Shen Ye deliberately frightened Ye Ze.

Actually, he didn’t sense the presence of any spiritual creatures.
Although the spiritual energy in the Qi Lian Mountains was abundant, it seemed that this world was no longer suitable for nurturing spiritual creatures.
Therefore, Shen Ye didn’t detect any traces of them.

Ye Ze smiled faintly.
“I’m not afraid.
You’ll protect me.”

Shen Ye raised his chin proudly.
“Of course.”

After about twenty minutes, they reached the halfway point of the main peak.

“We’re here,” Shen Ye pointed ahead and said.

Ahead was a deep pool that was less than thirty square meters, with water so deep that the bottom couldn’t be seen.
Above the deep pool, to the left, was a cliff, and there was a small waterfall flowing down.

“The old Taoist is in the cave behind the waterfall,” Shen Ye said.
“Let’s go.”

To reach the area behind the waterfall from their current position, they had to use their techniques.

Shen Ye performed a technique and held Ye Ze’s hand, leading the way.

Thinking that he would soon capture Mingxin Daoren and take revenge, Shen Ye was extremely excited.

Indeed, there was a cave behind the waterfall.
There was a formation set up at the entrance of the cave.

Shen Ye disdainfully curled his lips.
“They actually want to stop me with a formation.
They underestimate my abilities.”

With a wave of his hand, even without using his full strength, the formation was broken.

“…So weak?” Shen Ye couldn’t believe it.
Compared to the formation outside the Taoist temple two days ago, this formation was obviously weak.

Ye Ze heard his muttering and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”

Shen Ye shook his head and pondered, “I understand now.
The core of this formation should be himself.
He was seriously injured, so the power of the formation has weakened.”

Two days ago, he killed two disciples of the old Taoist and destroyed the Ju Yang Formation and the Taoist temple.
The old Taoist must have been seriously injured.

No wonder when he saw the photo of the old Taoist a few days ago and deduced that the old Taoist was in the Qi Lian Mountains, he was still here today.
It was estimated that the old Taoist had already foreseen that he and Ye Ze would come for revenge.
However, he stayed here because he didn’t have the strength to run.

Before, he was worried that the old Taoist would escape, but now it seemed that the old Taoist’s abilities were even weaker than he had expected.
Despite being injured, he could only wait for death.

Shen Ye pulled Ye Ze and walked inside.

The cave was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
Shen Ye quickly used a spell to illuminate the cave.
The cave was small, and they could see the end of it at a glance.

However, it was decorated in a flamboyant manner, and spiritual energy continuously surged out from the inside.
It was obviously the place where the old Taoist cultivated.

Shen Ye looked up and saw an old man with white hair and a white beard meditating not far away.

“Is that him?” Shen Ye had actually already recognized that the old man was Mingxin Daoren, but he still whispered to confirm with Ye Ze.

Ye Ze looked for a few seconds and nodded, “Yes.”

He could never forget the face of his enemy.

Back then, it was this old Taoist who brought Ye Xiangtang to their house to cause trouble.
His grandfather was immediately taken ill, and if it weren’t for the purple aura on him injuring this old Taoist, both he and his cousin might have been killed.

Shen Ye nodded and was about to take action against the old Taoist.

But then he heard the old Taoist speak, “You’ve finally come.”

Shen Ye ignored him and threw a talisman at him, trapping him in place.

Surprisingly, the old Taoist didn’t struggle and just said, “I knew you would find your way here.”

Shen Ye couldn’t be polite to the culprit who harmed the Ye family.
He sneered, “The heavens are just, and a person who commits such evil deeds like you will surely face retribution.
Now, the heavens have sent me to deal with you!”

From the appearance of the old Taoist, it was evident that he had taken countless lives.

Shen Ye was determined to carry out justice, but what made him angrier was that the old Taoist had caused the death of Ye Ze’s parents because he coveted the purple aura on Ye Ze’s body… Thinking that Ye Ze would be upset when he learned the truth, Shen Ye’s anger surged.

He had made up his mind to extract the old Taoist’s soul and let it experience being burned by fire, scalded in hot oil, involved in a car accident, and hacked by a knife in his specially prepared formation… day after day, until ten years had passed and his anger subsided.

The old Taoist glanced at Shen Ye and said, “I know I won’t live much longer, and you won’t let me off easy… It was my miscalculation.
I didn’t have a chance to seize the purple aura from Ye Ze.” He suddenly fixed his gaze on Ye Ze and continued, “Back then, I shouldn’t have personally dealt with you.
I should have found a mortal to kill you and absorb your purple aura…”

He clicked his tongue and showed a very regretful expression.

Shen Ye couldn’t help but mock, “With your abilities, there’s only a dead end when you oppose my husband.”

“Yes, that’s why I was ultimately defeated,” sighed the old Taoist.
He then looked at Ye Ze and Shen Ye again and said, “You two are actually married… Ye Ze was originally destined to be a star of ill omen.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have killed his parents and…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Shen Ye swiftly threw a talisman at him and shouted, “Shut your mouth!”

Shen Ye didn’t want Ye Ze to know that his parents and uncle and aunt died in a car accident because of him.
It would be too cruel for Ye Ze.

However, Ye Ze had caught a glimpse of the truth and stared at the old Taoist, asking slowly, word by word, “Star of ill omen?”

The old Taoist replied, “Yes…”

Unfortunately, he only managed to utter one word before Shen Ye sealed his mouth with another talisman.

Shen Ye had been flustered and hadn’t expected to use a talisman to silence the old Taoist.

“Don’t listen to his nonsense,” Shen Ye said anxiously.
He grabbed Ye Ze’s hand and said, “The purple aura on your body is the aura of emperors and generals.
I’ve never seen anyone emit a purple aura in my original world, which shows that you are favored by the heavens!”

Due to his anxiety, Shen Ye spoke rapidly without taking a breath.

Ye Ze listened silently and tightened his grip on Shen Ye’s hand.
He whispered, “Don’t worry, I haven’t thought too much about it.”

Shen Ye: “?”

Why was his husband so calm?

This was different from what he had anticipated…

Ye Ze said, “I only believe in the fate you’ve foretold for me.
I don’t trust what others say.”
