Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 633: Old Grudge (2)_1

Lin Mengjie, born into a mafia lineage, married into the Shangguan Family, and is now two months pregnant. Upon learning Lin Mengjie’s identity, Young Master Ye resolved to kill her before she could find him. He then began to slowly weave his web.

Lin Mengjie was the target of Young Master Ye’s lifelong hatred, so he naturally wouldn’t let her off easily. Later, Li Wanying developed feelings for Shangguan Hao and constantly schemed to marry him. Young Master Ye seized this opportunity, approached Li Wanying, and orchestrated a performance that led to Lin Mengjie and Shangguan Hao’s separation. Then, when Lin Mengjie was at her most vulnerable, he dealt her the most lethal blow. He hadn’t anticipated the arrival of Zhuge Feng, who rescued Lin Mengjie. However, her rescue mattered little. Young Master Ye had great faith in his abilities, even as the injuries he himself had suffered worsened once more.

Having set these plans in motion, Young Master Ye returned to the Ye Family and entered seclusion once more to suppress the malevolent thoughts emerging within him. During this time, Young Master Ye himself slowly changed—his thoughts, his ideas; he even learned to raise Gu—and he gradually cultivated his own power base.

By this point, Young Master Ye had transformed from a figure akin to a pure immortal into a two-faced individual. His venomous reputation also slowly began to spread. He became a contradiction, tormented on one hand while continuing to inflict harm on the other. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

This was the grudge between Young Master Ye and Lin Mengjie—a relentless, life-or-death vendetta. It was only because Lin Mengjie dealt him a lethal blow that threatened his life, and because Young Master Ye still possessed a trace of conscience that prevented his complete descent into utter evil, that he fled so quickly. Otherwise, the Lin Family and Shangguan Family would have long been annihilated, and Shangguan You would never have survived.

This could be considered the last thing Lin Mengjie did for both families. After that, Lin Mengjie fell into a complete coma. Although Zhuge Feng tried many things, he couldn’t awaken her. Meanwhile, as Young Master Ye recovered from his injuries, he never stopped searching for Lin Mengjie. She was a thorn in his heart; if it wasn’t removed, he could neither eat nor sleep in peace.

Meanwhile, for over a decade, Young Master Ye suppressed the changes within himself while slowly repairing the damage Lin Mengjie had inflicted. With the help of Third Young Master Ye, Young Master Ye finally healed his internal injuries. However, during his visit to Hidden World Village, Shangguan You treacherously struck his newly recovered body, injuring him once more. Although this injury wasn’t as severe as the one from Lin Mengjie, it suppressed half of his Inner Strength, which only fueled Young Master Ye’s hatred. In a fit of rage, he accelerated his preparations, using the insects he had meticulously reared for eighteen years—including Puppet Poisonous Insects and Replacement Gu—to control countless people.

He dared to brazenly enter the Shen Family’s secret chamber because Lin Mengjie remained in a coma. He also wanted to see why this Guardian of this plane had become a mortal and married a mortal, and whether any other Guardians would appear.

Unfortunately, he witnessed none of this; instead, he encountered Shangguan You. Nor did he expect Shangguan You to notice something unusual about his body. Ever since his transformation began, any woman who slept with him would have her vital essence drained, becoming a corpse. He then used his own body and those corpses to breed Gu insects, batch after batch.

Li Wanying was an exception because at that time, he could still control his body. Therefore, Shangguan Rou was Young Master Ye’s only daughter. The man who slept with Li Wanying that day was indeed Young Master Ye. His intention was to make the Shangguan Family wear a "green hat" (i.e., to cuckold Shangguan Hao). He hadn’t expected that Shangguan Hao had never touched Li Wanying, and that the daughter whom even the Shangguan Family wouldn’t acknowledge was actually his. When Shangguan You told him this, he was shocked, yet a sliver of joy sparked within him. Young Master Ye finally had a daughter, though she was not one he particularly liked.

The most potent Gu he had cultivated was the batch from Hidden World Village, which he intended to use to control the stubborn old men there. However, Shangguan You, by a strange twist of fate, destroyed them all. Furthermore, because Shangguan You was Lin Mengjie’s daughter, Young Master Ye could not allow her to marry his younger brother. That was why Young Master Ye had allowed Shangguan You to defeat him in Hidden World Village—to keep her away from his younger brother. He succeeded in this, but he was also schemed against. However, now that the Young Master had entered a dormant period, the things he had prepared for eighteen years were finally ready. Consequently, bloody incidents began to erupt in various places, each occurring within Young Master Ye’s sphere of influence.

"That’s wrong. You are not Young Master Ye anymore. You can no longer be considered a member of the Ye Family."

After hearing all this, Shangguan You furrowed her brows. One mystery in her heart had been solved, but another now weighed heavily upon her. If Lin Mengjie is the Guardian of this plane, then where did the real Lin Mengjie go?

She was now certain that the comatose Lin Mengjie, the one she believed to be her mother, was likely the one recovered from Zhuge Feng’s secret chamber. Then, could the woman lying in the Crystal Coffin be the *real* Lin Mengjie?

Did the Guardian replace Lin Mengjie, marry Shangguan Hao, and give birth to me? Shangguan You felt dizzy again. The Lin Mengjie who had lived with the Lin Family her entire life couldn’t have just appeared out of thin air.

"I am Young Master Ye, isn’t that right, Second Brother?" Young Master Ye laughed triumphantly. His greatest joy was knowing that Lin Mengjie, the Guardian, would never awaken. As long as he dealt with Shangguan You here and now, no one would be able to stop him in the future.

"Big Brother, was the sudden change in your temperament eighteen years ago also why your legs suddenly became immobile and your personality grew increasingly cruel?" Second Young Master Ye couldn’t help but take a few steps forward, gazing at the familiar yet alien figure before him. This was his big brother; he was certain of it. Yet, at the same time, this wasn’t his big brother. His big brother, true to his name and character, wasn’t the cruel person standing before him now.

"Second Brother," Young Master Ye said, his voice tinged with a rare gentleness, "no matter how you perceive things, I will always be the eldest son of the Ye Family, your big brother, and the big brother of the Young Master. Although familial bonds in our Ye Family may be weak, I want everyone to know that the Ye Family exists—an invincible presence."
