South Sea City.
As one of the economic hubs of the Southern part of Huaguo, the city of South Sea becomes even more bright and prosperous when night falls.
On the brightly lit and bustling streets, a slender and sexy young woman with a small bag is making her way in a certain direction.
A few tens of meters behind her, several shadowy figures with ill intentions are trailing.
"Boss, is this the girl you're talking about?"
"She's quite a beauty! We're in for a treat tonight!"
"Stop messing around, this is the woman Mr. Liu wants, would you dare to touch her?"
The originally playful banter is cut off by a stern reprimand. The unruly young men fell silent upon hearing it.
A bearded young man, staring at the enchanting figure in the distance, stroked the stubble on his chin, a gleam of intent flashing in his eyes.
“Wait for the right opportunity, once she's alone, we'll grab her and deliver her to Mr. Liu! A mere internet celebrity even dares to reject Mr. Liu's advances, she really doesn’t know her place!"
Meanwhile, on the rooftop of a nearby building, up above several stories high, a lone figure stands on the parapet wall. His shadow stretched long by the moonlight as he looks down on the street, just like a creator overlooking his creations, his gaze detached and otherworldly.
He is a young man, not even twenty, tall and slender, with a complexion as pale as paper. His hands are folded behind him, clad in a properly fitted black robe adorned with a peculiar gold pattern and red trim. Embroidered on his chest is a hall made of gold thread.
The Sacred Fire Cloud Robes, only those with extraordinary insight can recognize the name of this clothing, and once they have gained knowledge of it, their hearts will be filled with reverence.
In this world, only members of the Star Temple could adorn the Sacred Fire Cloud Robes, traversing the world and annihilating all enemies.
Anyone wearing the robes improperly, once discovered, will be punished severely!
The Sacred Fire Cloud Robe worn by the young man signifies a position of great prestige within the Star Temple – the Star Lord, the only one who could wear it.
As for the young man's identity, it doesn't need to be mentioned!
Star Lord!
Hundreds of nations around the world are closely watching, all keen to understand everything about him, yet he remains shrouded in a layer of mystery!
"Those small fry seem to be plotting against Seventh Sister…"
Positioned high, he naturally can gaze into the distance – he notices a group of suspicious hoodlums. His slender, captivating eyes faintly squint, causing one's sight to blur.
Flicking a finger, his figure suddenly vanishes atop the rooftop, leaving only a dream-like voice gradually dissipating in the void.
"Those who want to harm my family, I shall kill!"
"It doesn't matter who you are!"
...
Fang Wen, along with a few of his subordinates, sees their target enter an alley. His eyes instantly light up as he whispers, “The opportunity has arrived! Brothers, attack!"
The gangsters waiting behind him are eager, and at the moment of Fang Wen's order, they charge towards the alley.
However, the moment they entered the alley, Qi Meng’s figure had suddenly vanished. In her place stood a tall figure, his hands clasping his back.
"Who are you?" Fang Wen and the others became immediately wary, cautiously scanning their surroundings. They had clearly seen Qi Meng enter here a moment ago, so how had she become a man?
The tall figure slowly turned around. A young man appeared before Fang Wen, his pair of peach blossom eyes remarkably captivating.
The young man flicked his fingers gently, asking in a soft voice, "What do you want with my seventh sister, who you have been following?"
"She's your seventh sister?" Fang Wen was taken aback. She hadn't heard that Qi Meng had a younger brother before, but that wasn't that important now. The women that Young Master Liu desired had never escaped his clutches.
Fang Wen's face turned fierce, pointed at the young man and said, "Kid, you better start talking and tell us where that wretched Qi Meng is, or else we won't let you leave this alley today!"
"Surrender the information, now!"
"Don't make us rough you up!"
The gangsters behind Fang Wen began to threaten loudly.
Behind Fang Wen stood a thin man in a suit, watching Ye Yun, with his eyes almost shut and gleaming with some unspoken thoughts.
"Don't worry, Housekeeper Liu, that wretched girl will definitely not escape tonight," Fang Wen quietly assured him.
The man merely nodded faintly, "I certainly hope so. Otherwise, you may not be needed to serve Young Master Liu in the future. He does not need useless people."
"Yes, yes!" Fang Wen, sweating profusely, quickly nodded with a forced smile.
Inside the alley, the young man didn't take the men's threats to heart. Instead, he shook his head and said, "Firstly, my seventh sister is not here. Secondly, if you don't tell me exactly who sent you here, I think it might be you who are in danger, not me."
"Did I hear that right, you?" Fang Wen laughed loudly, swinging his arm dismissively and then sneered, "Lads, since this young brat refuses a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, let's show him what we're made of!"
"Alright then!"
A group of thugs immediately rubbed their fists and palms together, approaching the young man with malicious grins.
Ye Yun sighed softly to himself, "I kindly advised, but why do some people just refuse to believe?"
"Believe your ass!"
One of the thugs raised his stick, fiercely aiming at the young man’s face.
Ye Yun slightly tilted his head, then raised his hand, seemingly a light slap brushed across this thug's chest, but the latter was as if hit by a speeding bus, with stomach acid spewing out uncontrollably, eyes wide open as he flew backward, knocking over another man, who was also screaming unendingly from broken bones.
With steps that seemed almost illusory, Ye Yun moved amongst the men, landing blows with effortless ease that no one could keep up with. And everyone he hit flew backward, screaming.
Fang Wen stood not far away, dumbfounded, watching his subordinates quickly defeated by the effortless moves of the young man, his body trembling.
"Are... are you human or ghost?"
A few minutes later, listening to the painful screams of his underlings, Fang Wen sat on the ground, pointing at the young man with shaking fingers.
Footsteps approached, and the young man slowly crouched down, still wearing a gentle smile on his face, he softly asked, "Now, tell me, what do you want with my sister Qi?"
Even though the young man's smile was pleasant, to Fang Wen, it was no different from a devil!
“It...It was Young Master Liu Yan who told us to do this!” Fang Wen said in horror.
"Liu Yan?" Ye Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, "You talking about the Liu family of Nanhai City?"
The Liu Family was indeed the leading aristocratic family in Nanhai City, with assets totalling billions and businesses spread across various fields!
"This Liu Yan, perhaps a young master from the Liu family with considerable status!"
"Correct, it is indeed young master Liu Yan from the Liu family!"
Seeing the formidable youth fall into deep thought, Fang Wen, as if seizing a life-saving straw, appeared surprisingly elated as his courage was reignited.
He arrogantly said, "Now, do you realize the powerful figure you've offended? It would be wise for you to let us go right now, then capture that cheap woman, Qi Meng, present her to our young master Liu Yan. When our master is in a better mood, he might just spare you!"
"Otherwise, await the terrifying retaliation by Young Master Liu Yan! In Nanhai city, anyone who offends our Liu Family, none have had a good ending!"
Looking at Fang Wen, who is still threatening him, Ye Yun rubbed his temples. Who gave this fool confidence, assuming that he fears the Liu family?
"The Liu family, in my eyes, is no different from ants. Your 'young master Liu Yan', will sooner or later kneel on the ground, apologizing to my seventh sister." Ye Yun said indifferently.
"Haha, you?" Fang Wen sneered dismissively at Ye Yun, "I don’t look down on you peasants, but the power possessed by a prominent family is absolutely unimaginable to you. The Liu family possesses assets worth billions. With a snap of fingers, they can easily crush you!"
"Do you really think that some strength, means you can do whatever you want? Let me tell you, in this world, money is the most powerful!"
"Perhaps you're right, money represents power. But how do you know that the Liu family is certainly richer than me?"
Ye Yun chuckled, stood up, he had gathered enough information, there was no need to waste more time.
"You continue to be arrogant! I will wait to see your miserable appearance then!" Fang Wen screeched spitefully.
Ye Yun glanced at him, stepped on his face, knocking him unconscious, Fang Wen collapsed on the ground like a pile of mud. Following this, Ye Yun tidied up his clothes, stood up, and observed a thin man standing at some distance. The man had a dramatic change of expressions on seeing Ye Yun, the next second, he started to run away.
However, after taking just a few steps, he screamed and fell forward, eating a face-full of dirt. With his face swollen and bruised, he even lost two of his front teeth!
Ye Yun stepped on his back and with kneed firmly held him down, tilted his head, and asked, "Why run?"
"I'm a close associate of Young Master Liu Yan! Far from being compared to useless people like Fang Wen. If you dare lay a finger on me, you won't have a place in Nanhai City!" The slender man yelled with a fierce tone as his face was pressed against the ground.
"The one who threatens shall be slain!" Ye Yun smirked coldly. He applied more pressure under his foot and coldly asked, "Tell me! What does Liu Yan want with my Seventh Sister?"
"Ah!" The slender man continued to scream in agony.
"Snap!"
The sound of a broken rib echoed, and the man seemed to feel the intense pain in his heart being squeezed. The pain brought by the broken ribs made his face full of ferocity.
He was scared!
If this goes on, there is no doubt that he will die! Given the ferocity of Ye Yun's actions, it's clear he wouldn't flinch if the man died right there.
"I'll tell! I'll tell!" The man started shouting.
Ye Yun eased his foot, and the man gasped for air immediately. His complexion was pale; he looked at Ye Yun with fear.
"Qiyue, the... annoyed our Young Master Liu Yan. Young Master Liu ordered that she be brought down and disgrace." Seeing Ye Yun's icy expression, the man promptly corrected himself.
"Annoyed?" Ye Yun frowned.
"I don't know why specifically, but I heard that it was something to do with the Qiyue's adoptive parents." The man answered cautiously.
"What?!"
Ye Yun tensed up, his momentum reached a peak in an instant, suffocating the man who turned pale.
"After the incident happened with Qiyue's adoptive parents years ago, our Liu family began to aggressively purchase Liu's assets. And Qiyue, being the adopted daughter of Liu Zhen, is beautiful and young, that's why our young master was interested in her."
"Could Liu family have anything to do with the accident that befell Liu Zhen and the others?"
Ye Yun trembled all over, almost bursting into tears.
This was the first time he had heard about the Liu family acquiring Liu's assets.
Could it have been the Liu family who were responsible for the accident years ago that claimed his adoptive parents?
Back then, adopted father Liu Zhen was the backbone of the Liu family. His accident naturally caused a major shakeup in the Liu family! Ye Yun knew that there would be changes in the Liu family, but he didn't know that this incident was related to the Liu family.
"I don't know." The man shook his head hastily, his eyes filled with panic.
But judging by his expression, he clearly knows something but dared not speak. Ye Yun was upset, knowing that the man would never reveal this secret, or he wouldn't be allowed to live by the Liu family. In his anger, he kicked the man unconscious.
After a while, Ye Yun finally calmed down, but his mood was extremely heavy.
After dealing with Fang Wen and the others, Ye Yun changed his route. Qiji, the young lady who was being followed by Fang Wen and the others before this, was still walking down the street without any sense of what had just transpired.
Watching his sister Qi Dream enter her residence, Ye Yun turned around, his face as grim as water.
He is the Master of the Star Palace!
His status is so lofty that it is rare in the world!
Without exaggeration, if he reveals his identity, even the highest leader of China would personally receive him and regard him as a friend of equal status.
But Ye Yun would not do this. He returned to his homeland to complete two tasks: revealing his identity would only invite trouble.
The first is to find the murderer who killed his adoptive parents!
Secondly, finding my seven sisters and reclaiming my backstory!
As my grandmother once stated, to unravel the mystery of Ye Yun's life, one must delve into his childhood companions!
And these seven companions have all grown up now, each one a breathtaking beauty!
"Elder Sister Lin Waner, the CEO of a listed company, extremely influential at her time!"
"Second sister Liu Xuan, possessing exceptional intelligence, completed her studies at an early age, now a teacher at Nanhai City High School."
"Third Sister Pan Qixi, she loved medicine from an early age, taught herself up to level eight in Traditional Chinese Medicine, now the chief doctor at a private hospital in Nanhai City!"
"Fourth Sister Ji Yu, her music talent is extraordinary. After being discovered by a talent scout, her career took flight. Now, she is a hugely popular singer in the country!"
"Fifth Sister Yu Xiaoxiao, studied media, currently an intern reporter at Nanhai City Television Station!"
"Sixth Sister Liu Yan, an international flight attendant who was promoted to chief purser not so long ago!"
"And the seventh sister, also named Qi Meng, who is the youngest, although she's still in college, has become a popular webcaster due to her interest in online affairs, with hundreds of thousands of fans."
"And all of them, are my wives!"
