Super Gene Hunting Ground

Two days later, Yang Xiao took Bing’er to find Yelu Caiyun, only to discover the villa was closed, and no one answered the door after several rings.

”Strange, where is everyone?”

Yang Xiao and Bing’er left, and at the entrance of the villa district, they bumped into Gao Lou, who was rushing over.

As soon as Gao Lou saw Yang Xiao, he shouted:

”Yang Xiao, is Caiyun at home?”

”No, it seems like there’s no one at home.”

”This is bad.”

Yang Xiao paused, stunned,

”Bad? What do you mean?”

”Don’t you know?”

”Know what?”

Yang Xiao looked at Gao Lou, puzzled.

”Yesterday, I saw Aunt Hong on campus, who is Caiyun’s stepmother.”

”Ah, I’ve seen her too, is there something wrong with Aunt Hong?”

”It’s not Aunt Hong who’s the problem, but Caiyun’s family has a big issue.”

Gao Lou immediately explained the problems faced by the Yelu Family briefly and sighed:

”Actually, the Yelu Family’s problems have existed for a long time. In our small city, fifty years ago, the Yelu Family was the top family, and their Clan Leader even served as the City Lord of Fei’e City.

However, later on, a major upheaval occurred within the Yelu Family, and the key influential figures were killed in a battle, leading to the decline of the Yelu Family.

Caiyun’s father is currently the only Empire Level Primary Realm expert, barely supporting the Yelu Family, but among the younger generation, there are no particularly outstanding talents.

So, the pressure Caiyun bears is imaginable...

Yang Xiao had heard Gao Lou talk about Yelu Caiyun’s family issues long ago but this time, Gao Lou’s explanation was more detailed.

”Yesterday, I ran into Aunt Hong on campus, quite unexpectedly. We had a brief chat, and Aunt Hong was also quite helpless. This time she came to find Caiyun purely out of desperation, as the whole family is unable to support through this crisis.”

”Who exactly is Ximen Chuixue? How dare he blatantly seize Yelu Family’s mine and force Yelu Caiyun into marriage?”

Gao Lou smiled bitterly and said:

”Yang Xiao, you’re not unfamiliar with the brutal reality of Witch Star, the whole society is about survival of the fittest, and being weak is a sin in itself.

What’s more, during its height, the Yelu Family possessed vast wealth including several crystal stone mines, numerous businesses in Fei’e City, and this wealth was similarly seized through various violent means.

Now that the Yelu Family has declined, naturally, the strong in Fei’e City want to seize it from Yelu Family.

Over the years, the Yelu Family has proactively ceded several crystal stone mines and some businesses in Fei’e City to City Lord Ximen Ding and several other families, just to ease tensions and survive.

Unfortunately, there’s no particularly gifted talent among their descendants, leading others to assume that the Yelu Family cannot rise again, hence seizing the last remaining wealth eagerly.

If the Yelu Family has any wealth now, it’s merely a large crystal stone mine, and an exceptionally beautiful daughter, Caiyun.

City Lord Ximen Ding’s son, Ximen Chuixue, has long had an eye on Caiyun, having privately pursued her before but was rejected.

Ximen Chuixue is over sixty, in the Empire Middle Level Realm, a Guard Captain in the Flying Leopard Empire Palace, brutal and aggressive.

I heard from Aunt Hong that this guy is on a half-year vacation, and feeling bored after returning home, he suddenly targeted the Yelu Family; despite their repeated pleas for mercy, this guy is unmoved, and my father also intervened several times as a mediator, but was rejected, alas!

Gao Lou, expressing sadness.

Yang Xiao listened, a surge of anger welling up within him, looking at Gao Lou.

”Don’t you like Caiyun? Why don’t you marry her?”

”Forget it, during my time at Flying Leopard Academy, I’ve come to terms that Caiyun won’t like me, no need to force it. Actually, Caiyun has always liked you, couldn’t you tell?”

”I...”

Yang Xiao was silent for a moment.

He certainly knew that Caiyun had always liked him.

Initially, Yang Xiao had a poor impression of Yelu Caiyun, feeling she used her looks to tempt others, taking advantage and benefiting without any commitment.

She utilized Chen Cangshan to get into Flying Leopard Academy through the back door, and then used her beauty to tempt Qin Yue.

Yang Xiao was annoyed by her, but later encounters revealed that Yelu Caiyun wasn’t inherently a bad person.

Especially later, when she recognized her wrongful actions and decided to change her ways, to be a self-respecting woman, earning Yang Xiao’s respect.

Yang Xiao hadn’t expected that Yelu Caiyun’s efforts to break free from her family’s shackles would be so challenging.

For over half a year, Yelu Caiyun had been diligently cultivating, hoping to elevate her Genetic Evolution and win everyone’s respect, revitalizing the declining Yelu Family through sheer effort.

Unfortunately, her talent was average, making the journey arduous.

Yang Xiao sighed and asked:

”Gao Lou, how do you think Yelu Caiyun will act when she returns? Will she agree to marry Ximen Chuixue?”

Gao Lou’s face showed sadness.

”Yelu Caiyun is a very dutiful girl, sent by her father via Aunt Hong, despite not saying it outright, everyone understands that the Yelu Family hopes Caiyun will sacrifice for the family.

Otherwise, if the last crystal stone mine is taken, their descendants lose Genetic Evolution resources, making it impossible for them to turn things around.

Alas, Caiyun returned to Fei’e City with Aunt Hong, probably prepared herself internally, otherwise, she wouldn’t go back.”

Yang Xiao felt a wave of sorrow; he couldn’t imagine the loss and despair of a proud girl like Yelu Caiyun being forced to marry Ximen Chuixue.

Yang Xiao exhaled heavily and said:

”Gao Lou, take me to Fei’e City.”

”Ah? Yang Xiao, you?”

”I can’t stand by and watch Caiyun jump into the fire pit without doing anything.”

Gao Lou, surprised, hesitated a moment before cautiously saying:

”But Yang Xiao, Ximen Chuixue is Empire Middle Level Realm, and his father Ximen Ding is also Empire Middle Level Realm, you?”

Gao Lou’s meaning was clear; while Yang Xiao was brave, he was at Empire Level Primary Level, facing two Empire Middle Level powerhouses, the odds weren’t in his favor.

Yang Xiao smiled lightly,

”What the hell to fear, I’m settling this matter, if you’re afraid of dying, I’ll go alone.”

”Not afraid, not afraid; as long as you stand up, I, Gao Lou, will be willing to die alongside you.”

Gao Lou patted his chest.

”Hey, where are you guys heading to die?”

A voice called from behind, the two turned to see Chen Cangshan.
