Lone Star Destiny!
Ye Ming had not expected Ji Hongying to possess the Lone Star destiny.
The so-called Lone Star was what people called a highly inauspicious fate. Born with inherent misfortune, it would bring ill omens to one's closest kin.
And in Ye Ming's previous prying, the threads of karma related to Ji Hongying had all snapped. This meant that her closest kin must have already passed away.
"Alas! Another pitiable soul!" Ye Ming couldn't help but sigh.
It seemed he had to meet Ji Hongying as soon as possible.
Directly telling her that Ji Hongying was still bound by destiny.
Just as Ye Ming was about to leave Zui Hongchen, a graceful figure appeared in his sight.
The woman before him wore a white casual T-shirt paired with light blue denim shorts. With every glance, every smile, every step, she exuded an aura of soft and youthful vitality, making one feel uplifted.
This woman was none other than Nangong Qianyu.
"Hmph! Stinky Ye Ming, did you miss me?" Nangong Qianyu saw Ye Ming standing frozen, her eyes filled with a hint of melancholy.
"Ah! I..."
Ye Ming truly did not expect Nangong Qianyu to have returned so early.
By the time he recovered his senses, he saw Nangong Qianyu staring at him with displeasure. He immediately put on a smile, spread his arms, and gave her a big bear hug: "Of course I missed you."
"Ah!"
Nangong Qianyu also did not expect Ye Ming to suddenly make such an intimate gesture. Her pretty face instantly blushed like the evening clouds.
But she made no move to break free.
This was the second time she had been held in Ye Ming's arms, and it was just as warm.
"You... let go of me!"
After a few seconds of embrace, Nangong Qianyu whispered.
Ye Ming released Nangong Qianyu, looking at her flushed cheeks, he suddenly felt an urge to bite her.
But Nangong Qianyu gave him no opportunity, covering her face as she walked towards the villa.
She dared not meet Ye Ming's gaze.
It seemed our young lady Qianyu was shy.
Seeing this, Ye Ming also smiled slightly.
Since Nangong Qianyu was back, the matter of going to Zui Hongchen could be postponed. It wouldn't be too late to see Ji Hongying after today's live stream.
...
Six in the afternoon.
Nangong Qianyu took Ye Ming to a very popular restaurant. This was their live streaming location for this event.
Opening the stream with "Dinner is served, family!" successfully ignited the enthusiasm of the viewers.
Less than a minute after going live, the popularity value soared to a colossal nine hundred thousand. This demonstrated that Nangong Qianyu's live stream had reached a new height of influence.
This time, Nangong Qianyu and Ye Ming appeared on screen together. This was done to prevent the viewers from flooding the chat with messages:
Where is Teacher Ye?
"Waiting, waiting, finally waiting for you."
"Wow! Don't you guys think they look so compatible!"
"Yes! That's right, I am a witness to the Qianye love."
"Qianye Love! What a great name!"
"Plus one"
"..."
When Nangong Qianyu saw the chat screen furiously flashing "Qianye Love," she showed a happy expression. Among them, she secretly glanced at Ye Ming.
Ye Ming, naturally, was pleased to see this.
Afterward, as usual, Nangong Qianyu reviewed several signature dishes from the restaurant. Based on her professional analysis, she gave her final ratings.
"Alright! Next up is the cultivation class you've all been eagerly awaiting!"
Nangong Qianyu smiled comfortably and handed over the main stage to Ye Ming.
...
Meanwhile, at the Nangong family residence.
A large crowd had gathered in the courtyard. Most of them were elders and disciples of the Nangong family.
Standing at the forefront of everyone was the patriarch of the Nangong family – Nangong Li.
"Today, I have something to announce to everyone." Nangong Li said, looking at the crowd with a solemn expression.
Seeing this, everyone was filled with doubt. But upon seeing Nangong Li's expression, they all dropped their dismissive attitude. They had already realized that something big might happen.
But what they did not expect was that Nangong Li's next words would completely shock them.
"From now on, every person in my Nangong family must watch Ye Ming's cultivation class in Qianyu's live stream on time every day, without exception." Nangong Li issued the command with righteous indignation.
??????
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, their jaws almost hitting the floor.
What on earth!
To be so serious, only to have them watch a live stream in the end.
"Then... uh, Father... Father, you didn't mishear, did you!" Nangong Fu also couldn't quite believe his ears and asked tentatively.
"Mm! Do I need to repeat myself for a second time?" Nangong Li's face darkened, showing his displeasure.
Although he knew that this matter sounded rather absurd.
However, some things could not be directly stated in the open.
"No... no, Father, this matter might be a bit..." Nangong Fu said with a苦脸 (bitter face), not finishing his sentence.
"I know what you are thinking. But I must tell you, not only must you watch, but you must also learn the cultivation methods taught by Ye Ming." Nangong Li ignored the strange looks from everyone and said with a straight face, "Furthermore, at the end of each month, I will personally test your learning progress."
"Ah! This..."
After hearing these words, everyone began to suspect if their patriarch had gone mad.
They even had monthly tests.
"Alright! I don't care if you are willing or not. If anyone fails the final test, I will expel them directly from the Nangong family, with no exceptions."
Nangong Li directly issued an iron-fisted decree.
Fail, and be expelled from the Nangong family.
This punishment could be considered severe.
At this moment, everyone realized that their patriarch was not joking with them. Although they were still confused, they had no choice.
They could only obey Nangong Li's orders.
"Coincidentally, Ye Ming is live streaming now, so you shall begin from this moment." Nangong Li said, then astonishingly sat down on a chair and began watching the live stream in front of everyone.
"???"
This scene was somewhat bizarre, but they couldn't quite articulate why.
...
What happened at the Nangong family was also happening elsewhere.
For instance, in the Western Lower Realm, at the Heavenly Mandate Divine Palace.
On this day, the headquarters of the Heavenly Mandate Divine Palace issued a divine decree to all the forces under its jurisdiction.
The content of the divine decree was to watch and learn the cultivation methods taught by Ye Ming during his live streams.
For this purpose, the Heavenly Mandate Divine Palace also assembled a professional team to simultaneously translate the content taught by Ye Ming.
As soon as this news broke out, it swept through the entire Western underworld.
Everyone was speculating about the Heavenly Mandate Divine Palace's intentions.
Furthermore, in order to understand the Heavenly Mandate Divine Palace's objective, two other supreme powers in the Western underworld specially convened a meeting for this matter.
However, in the end, they were still unable to uncover the reason for the Heavenly Mandate Divine Palace's actions.
But at the end of the meeting, they all reached a tacit understanding and issued the same directive.
Just like the Heavenly Mandate Divine Palace, all their members were required to watch and learn the cultivation methods taught by Ye Ming.
After these three directives were issued, the Western underworld was bewildered, all asking the same question.
Who is Ye Ming?
