Ye Chen had hurt them too much; no one wanted to face him.

Master Qing Ya's retreat seemed funny, but it triggered a chain reaction, making Zi Yan, Mei Can, and Qian Qiu all lose heart and give up on avenging the Dragon Princess.

"Lingyun, Qi Li, Tian Yu, Qing Ya, Mei Can... all of you come in, I have something to say!"

However, just as they felt like retreating and leaving, Ye Chen's voice echoed faintly, resonating in their hearts.

"Ye Chen!"

Lingyun, Qian Qiu, and the others shuddered, as if they had been stimulated by something.

After that night, Ye Chen had vanished, giving them some peace.

But now, Ye Chen had suddenly appeared, stirring up complicated emotions in the women: a mix of indescribable melancholy and indignation.

Was Ye Chen going to give them an explanation?

"Let's go!"

"Let's hear what Ye Chen has to say. Maybe he will give us an explanation!"

Master Lingyun was the first to step forward, entering Ye Chen's palace to see what he had to say.

Upon seeing this, Qian Qiu, Zi Yan, Mei Can, and the others all followed closely behind, stepping into Ye Chen's palace.

Ye Chen often harassed them, and they had never come to him before; this time they would definitely get an explanation!

"What on earth is happening?"

Long Chan looked at the scene in front of her, feeling like her brain couldn't keep up.

Ye Chen sat leisurely on one side, while Lingyun and the others stood. Both sides were extremely tense, as if they were having a family meeting.

Yet Long Chan was puzzled.

The Twelve Golden Hairpins held high authority; they were the rulers of Baihua Palace and Ye Chen's masters!

No matter how invincible Ye Chen was, he was still a disciple. Why did they tolerate him?

"Chu Qing and Bai Ning are both gone. Even if you kill Long Chan, it won't change anything!" Ye Chen looked at the beautiful masters.

"Cease the fighting!"

"..."

Ye Chen's simple words made the Golden Hairpins cease their hostilities, leaving Long Chan breathless.

Master Lingyun was unfathomable, likely already a saint. Qi Li, Qian Qiu, and Tian Yu were also terrifyingly powerful. How could Ye Chen's single sentence make them stop? Where did his confidence come from?

Yet Ye Chen had an inexplicable power, a force that could dominate everything, making it hard to resist.

"Fine, as you wish, we will let her go!" Lingyun didn't hesitate and agreed directly.

Baihua Palace was allied with the Dragon Clan, and Long Chan was a Dragon Clan princess. Her training at Baihua Palace was akin to that of a special envoy!

The eight Golden Hairpins arriving aggressively and declaring they would kill Long Chan was just for show. Long Chan's status was too exceptional for them to really harm her!

And as Ye Chen had said, Chu Qing and Bai Ning were already gone. Killing Long Chan wouldn't bring them back.

"Long Chan, the crisis is over. You can leave now!" Ye Chen said to Long Chan.

Master Lingyun had agreed so readily, and Qian Qiu, Zi Yan, and the others didn't object. Ye Chen understood their intentions.

So Ye Chen wanted to send Long Chan away to have a proper talk with them.

"Ye Chen, are you hiding something from me?" Long Chan looked seriously and earnestly at Ye Chen.

"Yes." Ye Chen nodded.

"Then tell me quickly!" Long Chan said.

"Why should I tell you?" Ye Chen laughed.

"I'm your fiancée!" Long Chan said.

"Self-proclaimed?" Ye Chen said.

"..."

Long Chan felt like a joke, trying to warm Ye Chen's cold heart with her enthusiasm. But she was so beautiful, wasn't Ye Chen moved at all?

"Ye Chen, do you have something with them?" Long Chan seemed to sense something.

"Go back home," Ye Chen said.

"I came here from the Dragon Clan with you, and this is how you treat me?" Long Chan said, feeling wronged.

Long Chan wanted Ye Chen to chase after her to prove her charm.

But Ye Chen didn't budge an inch, never seeking her out actively, and now wanted to send her away, which hurt Long Chan.

"..."

Under everyone's gaze, Long Chan reluctantly left.

"Ye Chen, are you ready to die?" Master Lingyun said coldly.

"Why should I die?" Ye Chen didn't want to die, nor was he willing to.

"You know what you've done, do I need to say more?" Master Lingyun said, full of hatred.

"Stop slandering me. I didn't do anything!" Ye Chen said. "I've been secluded in the palace, never stepping out. How could I do anything?"

"Besides, what exactly did I do? I honestly don't know. Why don't you tell me?" Ye Chen smiled at Lingyun.

"..."

Master Lingyun was so angry she couldn't speak. Ye Chen's actions were so despicable, yet he wouldn't admit to his misdeeds?!

"Ye Chen, stop pretending to be innocent. Was it really not you?" Master Qian Qiu said sternly.

Master Qian Qiu wasn't sure who it was, but she hoped it was Ye Chen because with his powerful cultivation, the greatest in the Canglan Realm, she wouldn't be too aggrieved even if... it turned out to be him.

But Ye Chen's denial was making Master Qian Qiu scared.

She wasn't scared of Ye Chen not admitting it but afraid that the culprit wasn't Ye Chen at all!

If it wasn't Ye Chen... Master Qian Qiu would commit suicide!

"Ye Chen, speak up!" Master Qian Qiu was getting anxious.

Ye Chen just smiled calmly, neither admitting nor denying, making her feel uneasy.

"Ye Chen, was it you or not?" Master Mei Can said.

Master Mei Can was in a worse predicament than Master Qian Qiu. Qian Qiu could still judge some things, but Mei Can knew nothing!

"What do you mean? I have no idea what you're talking about." Ye Chen looked bewildered, as if he didn't know what was going on!

"..."

Ye Chen's feigning ignorance left everyone disheartened. Was he planning to deny everything until the end?

"Ye Chen, stop pretending. I know it was you!" Master Zi Yan said sternly.

"It was a nightmare for me, don't pretend anymore!" Master Qin Yue said.

"Ye Chen, stop pretending, just admit it!"

"..."

"What am I pretending?" Ye Chen said. "Don't wrongfully accuse me; I didn't do anything!"

"Bastard, you dare not own up to your actions? Are you still a man?" Master Zi Yan said in anger.

"You should know if I'm a man, right?" Ye Chen laughed.

"..."

Zi Yan and Qian Qiu's defeat left Lingyun, Mei Can, and the others at a loss. They weren't as shameless as Ye Chen, so just talking wouldn't get through to him!

"Alright, stop messing around!" Ye Chen said. "Let me hold a meeting!"

"A meeting?" The Eight Golden Hairpins doubted.

"Qian Qiu, Qi Li, Lingyun, Qing Ya... I admit, it was me!" Ye Chen sat on a small stool, looking coldly at the women, like a lord addressing his wives.

"..."

Ye Chen had just denied everything, and now he admitted so easily?

But if you were going to admit it, you should have chosen a private moment!

These were extraordinary women, renowned beauties with high pride. Ye Chen speaking out so openly hurt their dignity.
