The intense pain finally made Li Luo realize that this was real, and he wasn't dreaming.

"Is this... is this true?!"

Still somewhat in disbelief, Li Luo stared intently at Ye Yun, seemingly wanting a definite answer.

Seeing the urgency in the other's eyes, Ye Yun smiled slightly. People like Li Luo were easy to control.

He wanted to vie for the throne but lacked the corresponding wisdom and had no foundation in the court, so he needed someone to help him.

Even if he became a puppet, Li Luo was willing.

He couldn't just watch his two royal brothers leave him behind and fight for the throne.

Ye Yun's eyes turned slightly cold, and he said with a chilling gaze.

"When have my words ever been false? Or do you think I would lie to deceive you?"

The slightly cold voice instantly brought Li Luo back to his senses.

Indeed!

What was the other's status?

The other was the dignified Young Master of the Ye Family. How could he deceive him over such a trivial matter? There was no need for that.

Thinking of this, Li Luo was suddenly overjoyed.

Following Yun Xi to the Ye Family this time was truly the right decision, as he easily gained the support of the Ye Family Young Master.

If he wanted to fight for the throne, it would probably be much simpler now.

The two royal brothers who were like two towering mountains in front of him were no longer a problem.

All the difficulties were resolved effortlessly.

Li Luo originally thought the throne would drift further away from him, but he didn't expect it to be so close now, almost within reach.

"Of course, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Since you want me to help you seize the throne, you should know what you need to do, right?"

Ye Yun's voice sounded again, causing the originally ecstatic Li Luo to pause slightly.

Working for Ye Yun was not a disgraceful thing; after all, the other was the Young Master of the Ye Family.

He would inevitably become the master of the Ye Family in the future. Even if he submitted to him and helped him, it was absolutely not disgraceful.

Thinking of this, Li Luo quickly knelt on one knee, clasping his hands in front of him.

"Young Master! From now on, Li Luo will only follow the Young Master's orders.

If the Young Master tells me to go east, I will never go west; if the Young Master tells me to chase dogs, I will never chase chickens. Everything will be as the Young Master commands!"

He made a significant decision to submit to Ye Yun.

But as long as he could defeat his two royal brothers and seize the throne, none of this mattered.

Ye Yun nodded, his goal already achieved, and he assured with a relaxed expression.

"Good! From now on, you are one of my people. I will support you and help you get what you want."

No need to say much, a simple promise was enough to completely reassure Li Luo.

Hearing these words, Li Luo finally felt at ease, having found a powerful backing.

With this backing's support, he was confident he could win the throne in the future.

Yun Xi, who was teasing the Water Kylin nearby, naturally heard the conversation between the two, but she didn't pay much attention.

These matters had little to do with her.

The power of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty was a threat to the Yun Family. If the third prince Li Luo ascended the throne and became Ye Yun's subordinate, it would naturally not pose a threat to the Yun Family.

And she wouldn't have to constantly endure Li Luo; she could directly refuse him.

As for her father, Yun Xi could find a good excuse, no longer having to be troubled by him.

When Ye Yun checked Li Luo's information again, he found that a new section for loyalty had appeared under his attributes.

Moreover, Li Luo's loyalty value was quite high, directly at sixty-five points.

To have such high loyalty upon submission was truly rare.

At least there was no need to worry about this guy betraying him easily; for now, he was relatively trustworthy.

...

The majestic Immortal Ship sailed towards the Ye Family.

It wasn't until near noon that it finally arrived at the Ye Family Territory.

In the spacious outer area of the territory, Yun Yao had already led a group of people to wait there.

Seeing the gigantic Immortal Ship in the sky with its familiar emblem, Yun Yao naturally knew it was the Immortal Ship from her family.

"They're here."

Ye Yun's mother, Yun Yao, had a faint smile on her face.

It had been a long time since she last saw Yun Xi. Now that Yun Xi was here, she intended to keep her for a few more days.

Behind her were many people, including quite a few soldiers.

These were the elite soldiers trained by the Ye Family.

To welcome them, it was clear that the people on the Immortal Ship were quite prestigious.

The gigantic Immortal Ship slowly descended from the sky, the Immortal Spirit Power driving it had weakened considerably.

Soon, the majestic Immortal Ship finally landed on the ground.

Ye Yun immediately noticed his mother, Yun Yao, standing at the forefront of everyone.

Leaping off the Immortal Ship, Ye Yun came to Yun Yao.

"Mother, why did you come personally? Weren't we supposed to bring Cousin back?"

Hearing this, Yun Yao gently tapped Ye Yun's forehead with her jade finger.

"You! I was worried you wouldn't handle these matters well. Besides, I haven't seen Yun Xi in a long time, so of course, I wanted to come early."

As she spoke, Yun Yao turned her gaze towards the Immortal Ship.

Dressed in white, like an ethereal fairy, Yun Xi slowly floated down.

With a graceful figure and charming demeanor, Yun Yao couldn't help but be amazed.

It had been a long time since she last saw Yun Xi, and Yun Yao couldn't help but marvel at how much Yun Xi had changed, truly a young woman is very different from the little girl she once was.

Having not seen her for a while, Yun Xi had blossomed into a graceful young lady.

Yun Yao eagerly stepped forward, grabbing Yun Xi's hand as if they had endless things to say.

"Yun Xi, come let Auntie have a good look at you. You've grown into such a beautiful young lady."

Being praised, Yun Xi quickly shook her head.

"No, Auntie is the truly beautiful one. Compared to Auntie, I'm still far behind."

In front of Yun Yao, Yun Xi was as humble as she could be.

This made Yun Yao even more satisfied.

At the same time, her thoughts became more active.

Li Luo then also came down, and upon seeing Yun Yao, he quickly cupped his hands respectfully.

"Ye Madam, I am Li Luo, the third prince of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty. This time, I accompanied Miss Yun Xi to congratulate Young Master Ye Yun on overcoming his tribulation."

Seeing Li Luo's respectful demeanor, Yun Yao was a bit surprised, but only slightly.

After all, there were too many people trying to curry favor with the Ye Family, as numerous as cattle.

"Mm."

Just nodding, Yun Yao didn't say much to Li Luo, as his status wasn't high enough.

Li Luo also understood that the person in front of him was the Madam of the Ye Family, and her attitude towards him was understandable, so he didn't feel any embarrassment.

Afterwards, Yun Yao took Yun Xi's hand and headed towards the Ye Family.
