The Ye family, revered as the Dragon King family.
What is a Dragon King?
The king of dragons, representing the peak power of a family.
It signifies the strongest family; the Ye family holds absolute power and influence in the Divine Dragon Kingdom.
Furthermore, the Dragon King family imposes extremely strict education on its descendants. While such spoiled heirs might exist, they would never be groomed as Ye family inheritors.
Looking at Ye Bufan exemplifies the Ye family's excellent cultivation of their next generation of heirs. Ye Bufan is widely connected and righteous, earning him a good reputation among those he interacts with.
This does not imply he is unintelligent; as the next heir to the Ye family, his intelligence is a given.
The Ye Family Villa sprawls over a vast area. From its inception, the Ye family has established its base here.
The entire Ye family villa bustles with activity. People are busy everywhere, and the grounds are filled with individuals. The villa boasts formidable defenses, with a strict barrier encircling the entire compound, making it nearly impossible for outsiders to enter.
Outside the Ye family gate, Zhou Yan and his companions finally arrive. After disembarking, Ye Bufan leads the group and announces, "Welcome to my home, the Ye family villa."
"Young master, greetings." A multitude of people, all members of the Ye family, stand outside the villa.
"Your fanfare is quite grand," Feng Qingyang remarks, clearly no stranger to the Ye family.
"If I were to visit your place, would your fanfare be any less grand than mine?" Ye Bufan inquires.
"Alright, let's go inside," Feng Qingyang suggests.
"Indeed, let's go. I'll show you around our Ye family," Ye Bufan says, leading Zhou Yan and the others on a tour. The Ye family estate is indeed immense, resembling a palace.
Perhaps only members of the Ye family could possess such a grand estate, which also preserves numerous ancient structures.
According to Ye Bufan, these buildings have existed for a very long time. The family has specifically reinforced and protected them with formations, as they bear witness to the Ye family's journey from a humble origin to the foremost family in the Divine Dragon Kingdom.
An hour later, a servant approaches Ye Bufan and asks, "Young Master Ye, the meal is ready. When shall we serve it?"
"Understood. You may proceed," Ye Bufan replies.
He then turns to Zhou Yan and the others, saying, "Let's go, the food is ready. We should eat first."
"Then I shall savor it thoroughly," Feng Qingyang declares.
The group enters the luxurious living room and sees a man and a woman approaching Zhou Yan and his companions. Upon seeing them, Ye Bufan quickly steps forward and exclaims, "Mom and Dad."
He then introduces them to Zhou Yan and the others, "These are my parents."
"Greetings, Uncle and Aunt," Feng Qingyang says.
"It's been a while since you visited the Ye family, hasn't it, Feng Qingyang?" Ye Wentian looks at Feng Qingyang.
"I've been studying, with no time for such visits," Feng Qingyang replies hastily.
"Greetings, Uncle and Aunt," Zhou Yan and the others chime in.
"Excellent, excellent. You are all Bufan's friends and outstanding talents. We are merely here to greet you. Please enjoy yourselves at the Ye family. We have matters to attend to, so we will take our leave," Ye Wentian says.
"Mom and Dad, are you leaving?" Ye Bufan asks.
"Yes, there are some matters to handle. You entertain your friends well," Ye Wentian replies.
"Then, Mom and Dad, goodbye," Ye Bufan says.
"Goodbye, Uncle and Aunt," the others echo.
Ye Wentian departs with his wife, and Ye Bufan begins to host Zhou Yan and his group.
After the meal, Ye Bufan takes them out again to tour the renowned sites of the capital city. This continues until evening, when they rest at a hotel.
After three days of touring the capital, they reunite with Leng Yue and her group. Then, Zhou Yan and his companions bid farewell to Feng Qingyang and his group and board a flying ship, heading back to the Ziwei Academy.
On the journey, Ye Bufan remarks, "You're a celebrity now. Look at the online evaluations of you, the number one among the younger generation. Even I can only play a supporting role; it's truly disheartening."
"You, the esteemed young master of the Ye family, still care about such things?" Zhou Yan asks.
"It's not that I care, but I do feel a bit down. When will you give me the flying dragon you promised?" Ye Bufan asks.
"Oh, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten," Zhou Yan replies.
Ye Bufan: "..."
"My family has prepared the materials and everything. There are quite a few buildings among them," Ye Bufan says.
"Oh, buildings? They must be quite exceptional. Give them to me first," Zhou Yan's interest is immediately piqued.
Ye Bufan first trades several buildings to Zhou Yan. These are top-tier structures, with three of them being R-grade or higher, including a barracks.
"As expected of the Dragon King family, impressive, impressive," Zhou Yan says contentedly, accepting them.
"How many do you want? I must warn you, the food consumption of these flying dragons is astonishing. You might not be able to afford to raise them," Zhou Yan states.
"Don't worry, I've prepared for this. You don't need to concern yourself," Ye Bufan replies.
Given the Ye family's resources, they could naturally sustain these flying dragons. Thus, the two agree on a quantity, and Ye Bufan also provides Zhou Yan with many precious materials in advance.
Seeing these premium materials, Zhou Yan has no reason to refuse. He readily agrees and promises to arrange it as soon as he returns to Ziwei Academy.
Zhou Yan indeed needs to return to the academy to have ample time to capture them. Actually, it's not exactly capturing; he can obtain as many flying dragons as he needs, without the need for capture.
After all, the Dragon Emperor himself has entrusted his own offspring to him. Speaking of which, Jin Ye has been in slumber for some time. Zhou Yan has placed it in a specific location within the [Cultivation Secret Realm], where the time flow is more than ten times slower than outside, which can accelerate its dormant period.
Zhou Yan feels that his long-dormant White Tiger is finally showing signs of awakening, so he directly summons his White Tiger.
Ye Bufan exclaims upon seeing it, "This is... a White Tiger. Your luck is incredible! This is an exotic beast, and a particularly powerful one at that. Where did you get it? Get me one too!"
Ye Bufan is genuinely astonished. Such exotic beasts are not only powerful but also extremely rare and difficult to find. He never expected Zhou Yan to possess one.
"I obtained it through good luck. With your family's power, it shouldn't be difficult to acquire an exotic beast, right?" Zhou Yan asks.
"We have them, but they just won't hatch," Ye Bufan says, taking out an egg. "I've carried this with me since I was three years old. After so many years, it still hasn't changed at all."
