"No need for that. I have to see the glory I showed five days ago. I, Ye Qingyu, admire it from the bottom of my heart." Ye Qingyu could not help but smile as he looked at her.

It had to be known that Yun Feixue had the absolute strength to kill him at that time. Fortunately, he did not kill him in the end. The Yun Feixue in that state was simply a man-eating demon.

"Ugh …" "Five days ago …"

Yun Feixue suddenly thought of something, and his face suddenly changed. Ling'er had been shot by an arrow, and he was unable to remember what he had done after that.

"Could it be …" [Didn't Lord Ye save us?] Yun Feixue asked tentatively.

"Does Young Master Yun not remember?" Yun Feixue nodded. Indeed, he could not remember what happened at that time.

"I understand. That power should not be under your control for the time being. It was only triggered by the death of your subordinate." The current Yun Feixue was only at the tenth stage of the rigid and soft state. Compared to his current state, it was like comparing heaven and earth, and only this explanation could make sense.

Yun Feixue seemed to have also seemed to have understood something. At this moment, he could only think of the soul state Yun Feixue was in, but no matter how he tried to call out to her, he could not find him speaking inside his body.

"Ling'er …" Yun Feixue hugged his head and cried bitterly. A man would not cry easily. It was likely that he wasn't hurt. Ling'er's death was too much of a blow to him.

The fifteen-year-old Ling'er was at the best golden age in her life. Whether it was gradually cultivating or doing other things, it was better than working for her.

But now it was too late. Because of him, Ling'er had become a cripple, and even died because of him. This was something that he owed her for the rest of his life.

"Protect Ling'er's body and bring her back. I want to bury her deeply." Yun Feixue said with a low voice.

"Yes, young master." Xiao Cui nodded. Seeing that Ye Qingyu and Yun Feixue had something to talk about, she tactfully left the room.

"Looks like Young Master Yun is a man of character as well. He actually thinks so highly of the lives of his subordinates." At the tea table, Ye Qingyu personally poured a cup of tea for Yun Feixue. There was no attempt to conceal the admiration in his eyes. If someone from the Thousand Illusion Island were to see this, their jaws would probably drop.

Ye Qingyu had always thought highly of himself, so he never paid any attention to the people he saw. However, only a few people on the Thousand Illusion Island were worthy of his attention, so Ye Qingyu's serious treatment of Yun Feixue was very rare.

"Sigh, you don't understand what they mean to me. Being willing to work for me at this age is my greatest honor, but I, Yun Feixue, cannot afford it. Without me, how would she die?" Yun Feixue painfully sat on the chair, his eyes already completely red.

"It is perfectly justified for your subordinate to put his life on the line. I believe that she will not have any regrets since she died for you." Ye Qingyu asked.

"How is there anything as natural as heaven and earth in this world? Any life is priceless and precious, and one cannot judge a life's worth just because of their status. They work for me, but they absolutely have no obligation to give their lives to me, Yun Feixue, because there is no object of value that can be compared to a great life, and I am the one who would truly rather die." Yun Feixue said as he shook his head.

This had always been a point that had always existed in his heart. Before this, he thought that his opponent was very strong, but at least it hadn't gone beyond the scope of his understanding, so he kept letting Shadow to do things for him. But after Zhuge Ming Wang, he suddenly understood that sooner or later something would happen to the eighteen Umbra's that were following him, so he wanted to disband them.

Hearing Yun Feixue's words, Ye Qingyu could not help but feel a bit of admiration for him.

These words were like the words of a saint. The current Yun Feixue was definitely revealing his true feelings, as the departure of Ling'er was a huge blow to his soul. Thus, Ye Qingyu could easily determine whether he was deliberately saying these words or just expressing them from the bottom of his heart.

"Being able to meet Young Master Yun is my honor in this lifetime. We will use tea in place of wine." Ye Qingyu and Yun Feixue lightly clinked their cups.

"I haven't thanked Lord Ye for his hospitality yet. It is my honor to be able to visit the Thousand Illusion Island in person." Yun Feixue forced out a smile, which was the truth. Thousand Illusion Island had always been the sacred land that countless people in the Hidden Dragon Empire yearned for, just like an ice city.

"No, no. Actually, I noticed you when I was dealing with Wu Meng in the restaurant." Ye Qingyu could not help but ask.

"Oh? I believe that I have hidden myself very well, and that I should not attract anyone's attention. " Yun Feixue looked at Ye Qingyu with suspicion.

"That's right. It's indeed difficult for an ordinary person to discover that you're different from the masses. However, it's precisely that difference that allows me to see that you're different. That difference is Soul Power." Ye Qingyu said with a smile.

"You … "You can detect my soul power, could it be …" Yun Feixue looked at Ye Qingyu in shock as if he thought of something.

"That's right, I'm also cultivating my soul power. It's just that I didn't probe too much into it. Coupled with the fact that your attention is focused on Wu Meng, you didn't notice it." Ye Qingyu asked.

Yun Feixue looked at Ye Qingyu in astonishment. Soul power was a very mysterious power, ordinary people were unable to even touch it.

At the very least, since young, aside from the fact that he, Yun Feixue, had not met anyone who had some achievements in soul power, even those experts who had gambled with jade, would mostly rely on their experience and did not involve soul power. Ye Qingyu was sure that he was the second person Yun Feixue had met who had cultivated soul power, and from his tone, one could tell that his soul power attainment was not considered low.

Without waiting for Yun Feixue to speak, Ye Qingyu continued, "Actually, part of the reason why I invited you all to the island is because of your soul power."

"Oh? What do you mean? " Yun Feixue asked.

However, just as he finished speaking, his complexion suddenly changed as a huge wave of soul power surged out like a massive net. If it wasn't for the fact that he had never cultivated soul power before, he wouldn't have realized it even if he was enveloped by this massive soul power. At least he could use soul power to kill people without a trace if used properly, but Yun Feixue had already sensed it the moment Ye Qingyu released his soul power.

He no longer had the spare time to ask why Ye Qingyu would attack him; he did not release his soul power in an exaggerated manner.

If Ye Qingyu's soul power was compared to a thousand arrows shooting towards Yun Feixue, then Yun Feixue's soul power was like a shield that could block anything as it stood unmoving as a mountain around him.

Even though the sharp arrows outside were like a storm, Yun Feixue was still able to sit on his chair and drink his tea in satisfaction. He completely ignored the invasion of soul power.

He did not use his own cultivation, but based on his soul power, normal experts that had just stepped into the True Essence realm would not be able to withstand it, yet Yun Feixue was so happy that nothing seemed to have happened.

"I'm impressed!" The immense soul power rapidly disappeared without a trace, and Ye Qingyu's eyes once again flashed with a strong sense of admiration.

"I wouldn't dare. Young Island Lord's soul power is just as shocking as mine. Someday, his attainment will reach an even higher level." These words were not a compliment. Ye Qingyu's soul power was indeed very strong. In addition to his talent and hard work in cultivation, his soul power attainment would definitely not be low in the future.

"Young Master Yun is too modest. I've just offended you, but I also want to know what level of soul power Young Master Yun has reached." Ye Qingyu said.

"Don't know …" What do you need my soul power for? " Yun Feixue asked with some doubt.

Although this method was somewhat reckless, it was the best and most direct way to test oneself. At the very least, Yun Feixue was unable to interact with those kind of people who were hesitating and beating around the bush. Ye Qingyu's actions had proven that Ye Qingyu would not do anything.

"I wonder if Brother Yun has studied jade gambling?" Ye Qingyu could not help but ask.

"Ugh …" "One or two things …" Yun Feixue said. Most people who cultivated soul power would study jade, and it just so happened that Yun Feixue was an expert in this area.

Hearing Yun Feixue's words, the excitement on Ye Qingyu's face deepened. He said, "Outsiders might not know, but even though the Thousand Illusion Island is now the Ye Clan's largest, it is actually us and the other three forces that are jointly controlling this vast sea."

Yun Feixue nodded, he indeed did not know about this. It was possible that everyone only knew about the Ye Clan and not the others.

"But... This was a gamble … Does it matter? " Yun Feixue asked.

"Of course, the terrain of this sea is special. The bottom of the sea contains an endless amount of treasures, and every year, there will be some indescribably large jade mines that will break out from the sea." Ye Qingyu asked.

"Jade..." Jade stone vein? " Yun Feixue's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Putting aside whether there were any other treasures in the jade, the jade itself was a valuable treasure. A jade mine could definitely be said to have an exorbitant price.

"That's right. A jade mine. It's a pity. Although our Ye Family has many experts, every time a jade mine goes out to sea, we would get nothing." Ye Qingyu could not help but ask.

"Why is that?" Yun Feixue asked curiously.

"Because our four families have made an agreement, to judge the quality of the jade mine's vein and determine who should own it, it is actually similar to ordinary jade bet, just that the stakes are a little high, but their three families can always get powerful soul masters to act as guards, and my Ye family has already missed five jade mine in a row." Ye Qingyu shook his head.

Yun Feixue could roughly determine what these five jade veins were. Adding them all up, they could buy at least half of Hidden Dragon City. This was not exaggerated in the slightest.

The Ye Clan had lost five consecutive years to the other three great clans. This was no wonder Ye Qingyu's face was gloomy, because these five jade vein mines could at least reduce the gap between the Ye Clan and other forces by several times.
