Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 474 Ye Dashao 3(2)_1

Therefore, the sudden arrival of First Young Master Ye made the Elders panic. They even waited anxiously at the rear mountain exit, which was why Bai Muxue and Fang Jianfei had departed so quickly.

Only a few Family Heads and the Elders knew about the last incident, so First Young Master Ye’s current arrival made them incredibly nervous. Even now, Zhuge Feng doubted he could take on First Young Master Ye, given his ruthless methods and formidable martial arts; he still had no confidence in facing him.

Confronting First Young Master Ye, they knew they would only be asking for a beating.

Seeing Zhuge Feng’s grave expression, Shangguan You couldn’t help but feel the situation’s gravity. Third Young Master Ye had never paid Second Young Master Ye any mind, yet upon hearing of First Young Master Ye’s arrival, he had proactively left her.

"Third Young Master Ye said First Young Master Ye was here to take him back," Shangguan You recalled Third Young Master Ye’s parting words. Was First Young Master Ye really here for him? An inexplicable unease stirred in her heart, as if this matter concerned her.

"Regardless of his objective, you shouldn’t go out tonight. Stay here safely, and leave first thing tomorrow morning. If the secret chamber hadn’t been destroyed, I would send you away right now."

Zhuge Feng said, a hint of vexation in his voice, Is the relationship between the Miss and Third Young Master Ye the reason for First Young Master Ye’s visit? If so, then the Miss is in danger. Besides, I’ve heard the Ye Family is very particular about matters of marriage.

"Uncle, we invited Lord Meihua in the presence of the other three Young Masters. If she doesn’t appear tonight, how will we explain it? Her name is on the invitation." Zhuge Feng’s brow furrowed as well. He had interacted with Third Young Master Ye several times and knew that leaving her here tonight wouldn’t be safe either.

"Besides, Third Young Master Ye knows her identity as the Eldest Miss, and the rest of the Ye Family will soon find out. If that’s the case, there’s no point in hiding it any longer."

"Yes. Besides, Third Young Master Ye and Second Young Master Ye know my identity, so it’s no secret to them now," Shangguan You said calmly. Even if I leave this time, what difference would it make? My identity isn’t much of a secret anyway, so there’s no need to hide anymore.

"Do you know how the Shangguan Family was expelled from Hidden World Village in the past?" Zhuge Feng’s brow furrowed.

"Was it because of the Five Spirit Pearls?"

"Since you know, you should understand the principle: ’An ordinary man is guiltless, but possessing a treasure makes him a target.’ In the past, internal strife within the Shangguan Family, coupled with exploitation by the five great families, led to the Shangguan Family’s downfall. You possess not only the Five Spirit Pearls but also the coveted Heart-throbbing Pill, and there’s even Elder Qi’s eighteen-year-old prophecy. Do you think they will let you go?"

"So what? The Shangguan Family’s main lineage is all that remains, and it has been obscure for decades, even a century. My grandfather himself possesses no Spiritual Energy, and they have never considered returning here to restore our family’s prestige. All they desire is a peaceful life. Those who scheme against the Shangguan Family had better reconsider. If they can’t get past me, this young miss, I will make all who target the Shangguan Family suffer a fate worse than death."

Shangguan You spoke coolly. Although I haven’t asked my family for their opinion, I know everything they’ve done has been for self-preservation. Whether we remain hidden or not means nothing to me; my family is all that matters. My family has constantly strived to improve their strength, simply to live better lives, to never be exploited by others again. They just want the Shangguan Family to live well and peacefully in the mortal world. Moreover, I believe my grandfather, Dad, and eldest uncle harbor no ambitions. The great families of Hidden World Village are nothing but empty titles to them; they would feel as I do, not caring in the slightest. Tonight’s events, however, present me with an opportunity—a chance to prove myself. The Shangguan Family is not the Shangguan Family of a hundred years ago. The current Shangguan Family is not one that any person or family can bully! 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Have you asked Shangguan Zhi for his opinion? Have you asked the Shangguan ancestors? Are they truly willing to withdraw from this stage?"

"Whether they are willing or not, the past is past; a hundred years have gone by. The Shangguan Family now stands at the apex. No family dares to look down on the Shangguan Family, and we will not allow anyone to scheme against us," Shangguan You said softly, a faint smile playing on her lips as an aura of calm composure emanated from her.

In the past, I built my enterprise for revenge. Now, in my heart, Nong Cheng is a man destined for defeat, utterly worthless. The support system I built was to protect my loved ones, to allow my family to live in peace and safety, so that no one would dare to look down on the Shangguan Family.

"Miss, it seems I’ve underestimated you," Zhuge Feng nodded, satisfied. This Miss is now truly the successor of the Shangguan Family. She is fully capable of protecting her family, even ensuring they live better lives.

Looking at Shangguan You like this, Zhuge Feng suddenly felt a twinge of envy towards Shangguan Hao. That sanctimonious man has such an outstanding daughter. No, the Miss is like my own daughter too.

"Heh, Uncle, I will attend tonight. Whatever First Young Master Ye’s objective is, whatever he hopes to gain from me, I will go. And I will go as my true self. I will make everyone know me, Shangguan You."

An air of confidence radiated from Shangguan You. So self-assured, so captivating—this Shangguan You dazzled Zhuge Feng, and his heart began to race.

The dim alley, life ebbing away bit by bit, and she, like an angel, appearing before him—the scene replayed in Zhuge Feng’s mind.

"Miss, you won’t regret this?" Zhuge Feng’s lips curled slightly. Truly Lin Mengjie’s daughter.

"What’s the use of regret? Besides, even if I avoid it once, there will be a second time. If I can’t hide forever, why bother hiding at all? Why not face it calmly?" Shangguan You replied serenely.

"Youyou, rest assured, I will protect you. No one will harm you," Zhuge Feng declared resolutely. Perhaps Shangguan You doesn’t need it, but I still have to say this. I may not be strong enough to protect her now, but I will strive to become stronger—strong enough to shield her, so no one can ever bully her again.
