Chapter 475: Chapter 403 Xingtian Grand Ceremony
Ye Jinxiu was truly terrified, but she knew very well that there was no need to hide her fear at this time.
Not to mention that she and Aunt Xia were seriously injured, even if both of them were in perfect condition, they would not be a match for Gao Xuan.
At this moment, not only did her demeanor need to be humble, but she also had to be as sincere as possible.
Ye Jinxiu was very fortunate that she didn’t try to play tricks on Gao Xuan when her life was on the line earlier.
She was a decisive person in killing, but she wouldn’t do useless things.
She could use members of the Flying Eagle Gang as bait, because this group of street thugs didn’t deserve to live. They weren’t members of the Ye Family. If they died, they died.
But she wouldn’t kill the innocent indiscriminately, let alone drag others to die with her if she were to die herself.
Ye Jinxiu felt that she should still have a good impression in Gao Xuan’s eyes. There was no need to be clever with Gao Xuan.
Gao Xuan also felt that Ye Jinxiu was a smart person, and she was beautiful, and she treated him well, which was worth helping.
He wasn’t his true self; it wouldn’t be believable if women went crazy over him upon seeing him.
Having killed so many people from the Shi Family, the matter couldn’t be delayed any longer.
Gao Xuan picked up Ye Jinxiu and Aunt Xia and returned to the entrance of the Copper Kiln. There were still a few more people from the Shi Family at the entrance who were on guard, and Gao Xuan dealt with them.
Unsurprisingly, the few Ye Family people that Ye Jinxiu left outside on guard had all been killed.
Time was pressing, and there was no time to deal with the aftermath.
Gao Xuan sped all the way with Ye Jinxiu and Aunt Xia back to the Ye Family.
Ye An, the Patriarch of the Ye Family, was startled to see his daughter in such a state. After Ye Jinxiu explained the situation, Ye An was even more furious.
However, Ye An demonstrated the demeanor of a noble family head. Although he was quite agitated, he was still very courteous and respectful to Gao Xuan and even bowed deeply to express his gratitude to Gao Xuan on the spot...
Ye An arranged the best guest room for Gao Xuan, inviting him to rest first.
As for the follow-up matters, he would naturally handle them.
Gao Xuan had no interest in meddling in the Ye Family’s affairs. If Ye An couldn’t handle such matters well, he wouldn’t deserve to be the Patriarch.
As it turned out, Ye An was indeed quite capable. In the following two days, he used tactics to sabotage the Shi Family twice in a row, seriously undermining their power.
Gao Xuan didn’t know the specifics, as it was all told to him by Ye Jinxiu.
These days at the Ye Family, he lived comfortably. The room he stayed in was exquisite and clean, the food was delicious, and he wore fine silk garments...
Copper City wasn’t very large, only with a population of over twenty thousand. Moreover, because the copper mines were nearly depleted, the city didn’t have any significant industries.
Even so, as the top noble family in Copper City, the Ye Family was still large and wealthy. The old Ye Family residence was like a small city, with high brick walls blocking all hostility outside.
Inside the high walls were divided into several sections; the Patriarch of the Ye Family lived in the central area, while others lived in different areas according to their rank. Nearly two thousand people lived in the entire compound.
In this era, population was a resource, but human resources were particularly cheap...
The ones serving Gao Xuan were three delicate maidservants; although not exceptionally beautiful, they were smart, obedient, and sensible. From meals to sleep, they served Gao Xuan comfortably.
After enjoying a few days of life as a landlord, Gao Xuan felt that the gang life from before was completely like that of pigs and dogs.
That aside, the real gap lies in the heritage of the noble family.
For example, there were dozens of martial arts classics. Although most were ordinary fist martial arts, they were very comprehensive.
From swordsmanship to lightweight skills and hidden weapons, there were also some magical texts, and some works written by strong individuals from major sects, etc.
Although this knowledge was relatively ordinary, those at the bottom never had a chance to obtain it.
People like Ye Ying could only struggle hard at the bottom, lacking the vision and insight. No matter how they mixed, they would only be wallowing in the mire.
After reading these books for a few days, Gao Xuan gained a truly comprehensive understanding of this world.
After all, the original host had too little intelligence, and even if he met a brilliant teacher, the teacher wouldn’t tell him much. People like Ye Ying had small cleverness but no insight.
After reading these works, Gao Xuan realized that the country he was in was called Daqian, a vast land with billions of people.
Its capital was called Mingjing, known as the most prosperous and affluent place in the world.
Copper City was located in the southwest, ten thousand miles away from Mingjing.
Daqian had the Six Paths and Eight Sects, the most powerful sects. These sects had been passed down for thousands of years, with influence in all levels.
According to some unreliable unofficial histories, the changes of imperial power were all influenced by these sects behind the scenes.
In a world where individual martial power was so strong, there were bound to be sect organizations behind the imperial power...
"Brother Gao..."
A sweet greeting interrupted Gao Xuan’s contemplation.
Ye Jinxiu had her long hair tied into a simple bun, wearing peach-red narrow-sleeved clothing and a raven-blue horse-face skirt, exuding youthful elegance and refinement.
In the past few days, Ye Jinxiu often came over to chat with Gao Xuan, sometimes talking for half a day. She usually accompanied Gao Xuan for lunch too.
Generally speaking, noble women adhered to etiquette, even seldom having meals together with their own brothers, let alone with a strange man.
Ye Jinxiu was lively, spirited, yet generous and natural. More importantly, she was intelligent and perceptive, knowledgeable and insightful. In this world, she was already among the top talents.
In fact, with Ye Jinxiu’s intelligence, poise, and temperament, she could also be considered an outstanding person in the Interstellar Era. The only difference was in the knowledge level.
Ye Jinxiu also enjoyed chatting with Gao Xuan. She discovered that not only could Gao Xuan read, but his views on matters were always sharp and straight to the point.
This was not just extensive knowledge and extraordinary insight, but also his superior wisdom, having a complete and clear understanding of the heavens and the cosmos. He could always stand at the highest point, gazing down, seeing all things clearly.
