Chapter 58: The Ye Family's Crisis

  Ye Family's Back Mountain Small Courtyard.

  Ye Yan rushed into the small courtyard at the fastest speed and pushed open Ye Chen's door with a bang, "Chen brother..."

  "Sister Yan you..."

  Ye Chen stood still, having just gotten out of bed and stripped off all his clothes to change into a clean set. Just as he was about to put on new ones, Ye Yan suddenly burst in. At that moment, he was stark naked, and the most embarrassing thing was that after waking up that morning, a certain part of him had risen to attention, now bobbing up and down with an air of triumph.

  Ye Yan also stood at the door, a delicate face suddenly filled with blushes. Although she had been accustomed to seeing Ye Chen's naked body since childhood, these two times made her heart beat faster, and a strong sense of shyness spread out in her heart.

  However, she quickly suppressed the strange feeling in her heart. Bang! She slammed the door shut with a backhand, causing Nang who rushed over after hearing the noise to almost hit her head on the door.

  "What's the hurry, Sister Yan?" Nang'er backed away without knocking on the door. The little girl was a bit depressed, almost bumping her little nose just now.

  Ye Yan quickly walked to Ye Chen's side after closing the door, her expression showing a hint of anxiety, but her tone was quite calm. She slightly blushed and patted the thing under Ye Chen with her hand, scolding: "Still not getting dressed, you little rascal is actually a pervert."

  Ye Chen: “......”

  Quickly putting on his clothes, Ye Chen's forehead floated with two black lines, and he said angrily, "How am I crazy? I'm changing clothes in my own room, isn't that right? But you, Yan Jie, didn't even knock on the door or greet me, just barging in like this...I suspect you're taking advantage of me..."

  Ye Yan's face was filled with a thin layer of anger, and she raised her hand to slap Ye Chen on the head. However, before her hand could land, she stopped it mid-air and reluctantly withdrew it, saying "I'm too lazy to bother with your nonsense."

  Ye Yan's body trembled slightly, recalling the consequences of hitting Ye Chen's head by the lake in the backyard that day. It seemed that Yu Feng still had some numbness at this moment, causing her skin to flush with a faint layer of pink color all over her body.

  Ye Chen quickly put on his clothes and then pulled Ye Yan to sit down at the table, saying in a low voice: "Sister Yan, what's the matter that you're looking for me so early?"

  Ye Chen's question suddenly reminded Ye Yan of the purpose of his visit, and he quickly suppressed the strange feeling in his heart. His face turned solemn, "Chen, you should pack up your things and leave Lin City as soon as possible. The farther you go, the better."

  "What happened?" Ye Chen's face immediately fell, and things that could make Ye Yan so serious were definitely not simple.

  "Shake your head, Brother Chen, don't ask any more questions. Listen to sister and pack up quickly, now all four city gates are sealed off, the only way to leave Lin City is through the back mountain, you go from there, hurry!"

  "Yan Jie, you tell me, otherwise I won't leave without a reason." Ye Chen said, looking into her eyes word by word.

  Being stared at by Ye Chen's deep and profound eyes, Ye Yan had an idea that she couldn't refuse, the gaze conveyed a resolute and overbearing meaning that didn't allow for refusal, making her heart feel a strange flutter.

  It had been many months since they last met, and Ye Yan suddenly discovered that Ye Chen had undergone a huge change. At this moment, she could feel the deeply hidden overbearingness and strength within Ye Chen.

  Looking into Ye Chen's eyes, Ye Yan moved her delicate red lips and told him what had happened.

  As Ye Yan spoke, Ye Chen's face gradually turned cold and the air in the entire room seemed to turn icy, as if a cold winter wind had blown in, and she felt an intense killing aura emanating from Ye Chen.

  "Yan sister, let's go to the family hall!" Ye Chen stood up, a cold smile spreading across his face. The three major families and the city lord's mansion were looking for death, but he didn't expect that they would come knocking on his door first.

  "Brother Chen, what are you going to do?" Ye Yan was shocked and immediately grabbed Ye Chen's hand, urging him in a hurry: "You can't be impulsive, listen to your sister, leave quickly, leave Lin City from the back mountain, even leave Chu land, the farther the better!"

  "Yan Jie, have you ever thought that if I leave, what kind of consequences will the family face? The combined strength of the three families and the city lord's mansion is absolutely not something the Ye family can withstand." Ye Chen remained unmoved, ignoring Yan's grasp on his hand as he walked straight out.

  "No way!" Ye Yan suddenly wrapped his arms around Ye Chen from behind, his voice filled with anger. "Why are you being so stubborn? As long as you're alive, the direct bloodline of the Ye family won't be cut off, and there's still hope for the Ye family. This time, they're fully prepared, even Second Uncle is not afraid, which means they must have some backing. It's likely that City Lord Jiang Xingyun has invited a strong helper from Wang City. If you stay behind, not only will it change nothing, but you'll also be throwing your life away!"

  Ye Chen grasped Ye Yan's hand and turned around, calmly saying: "Yan sister, if I stay at the Ye family, nothing will happen to me. You believe me, in Lin City, no one can do anything to me."

  Ye Yan shook her head, and a misty veil appeared in her beautiful eyes. The next moment, two clear tears rolled down her jade-like cheeks, "Chen brother, please leave, sister is begging you, you can't die, you are a rare talent that appears only once in a thousand years, only if you survive will the Ye family have hope in the future, and be able to avenge the family. If you die, the Ye family will lose all hope, and sister will be heartbroken and grief-stricken."

  "My silly sister." Ye Chen's heart felt a warmth, as he gently wiped away Ye Yan's tears with his hands, and then said: "Yan Jie, in this past month, I've already entered the 8th rank. With my current strength, even if I were to face a 9th rank peak expert, I wouldn't be afraid in the slightest. Moreover, the blood energy within me is abundant and unending, this is my special trait, far surpassing that of ordinary cultivators. My combat endurance is long-lasting, so even if I were to fight against multiple 9th rank peak experts, I wouldn't be at a disadvantage. What are you still worried about?"

  "But this time, it's probably not just a nine-segment strongman. If Jiang Xingyun really invited a strong helper from the royal city, it's very likely to be a terrifying figure in the first turbulent spring of the fate sea secret realm. Even if it's your second uncle, he may not be his opponent, let alone you." Ye Yan slowly calmed down and said in a low voice.

  "Yan Jie, don't worry. If Father were here, not to mention the first person to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, even if someone stronger came, they wouldn't be able to get a good outcome from Father's hands." Ye Chen said calmly, his tone exuding absolute confidence in Ye Wen Tian.

  "Is Second Uncle that powerful?" Ye Yan was suddenly shocked. If this were said by someone else, she might not have believed it, but coming from Ye Chen's mouth, it was different. After all, Ye Xun Tian was Ye Chen's father, who would know his father better than his own son?

  "Of course, so Yan Jie, you don't need to worry about anything. Besides, even if Jiang Xingyun really invites a strong person from Wang City, they won't arrive yet. So currently, the enemies we face are only the three major families and the city lord's mansion. They're not worthy of acting wildly in my Ye family. It seems that the major forces in Lin City need to be reshuffled ahead of time."

  Ye Chen's words, especially the last sentence, carried an unyielding and overbearing tone that left Ye Yan surprised, calming down gradually in her heart, thinking of Ye Chen's mysteriousness, perhaps he was already strong enough now.

  "Let's go." Ye Chen pulled Ye Yan out of the small hut, Nan'er was standing outside, obviously having heard their conversation, and ran up to grab Ye Chen's hand, saying: "Young master, Nan'er wants to go with you too."

  Ye Chen nodded, and in return, Nang'er let out a sweet cheer. Nowadays, she had blind confidence in Ye Chen, believing that as long as he was around, everything could be solved. The little girl's thoughts were simple.

  The atmosphere in the Ye family's main hall had become extremely tense, with the Zhao, Duanmu, and Gu families joining forces to pressure them. There were also divisions within the Ye family, with more than half of the people advocating for handing over Ye Chen. Ye Xiao Tian bore the enormous pressure without yielding an inch, while the patience of the three main families was almost exhausted. They were about to let outsiders break in before they personally went to the small courtyard at the back of the Ye family's mountain to capture Ye Chen.

  "Head of the family, you bear the rise and fall of the entire Ye family. Now, for the sake of a single legitimate child, you are disregarding the lives and safety of hundreds of people in the Ye family, as well as the foundation of our family's hundred-year legacy. If the Ye family is destroyed because of this, how can we face our ancestors?" A concubine-born official said with a heavy heart.

  "My seventh brother is right, when the entire family is at stake, Ye Chen first had a feud with the inner disciples of Shenxi Fudi, and now it's not long after that Ye Wentian killed someone and robbed spiritual medicine. Although it wasn't Ye Chen who did it, as his son, he should take responsibility for his father and sacrifice himself for the family. If he steps out, all the troubles of the entire family will be resolved. Sacrificing one person to save the whole family, what are you hesitating about, Family Master? Give the order quickly."

  In the hall, countless voices were almost deafening, Ye Xiao Tian's heart was burning with anger, his face turned iron-green, glaring at those who spoke out of turn, coldly saying: "Ye Chen is the most valued person in the Elder Hall, if you advocate for handing him over, go to the Elder Hall and get the elder's consent first, as long as the elder agrees, I have nothing to say."

  "No need to go to the nursing home, I represent all the elders of the Ye family in agreeing to hand over Ye Chen to resolve the difficulties for the family." At this time, a voice came from outside the hall, and an old man with white hair walked in quickly.

  "Great Elder!"

  The old man entered the hall and all the Ye family members paid their respects.

  "Great Elder, is this decision the result of discussion among all the elders in the Elder Hall?" Ye Xiao Tian's face suddenly changed, he didn't expect that at this time it was not other elders but the Great Elder who came. This Great Elder was Ye Xun's grandfather, Ye Sheng. After Ye Qing was deposed and Ye Xun lost his position as head of the family, the Great Elder must have been extremely resentful towards Ye Chen. Even he, the current head of the family, might be on the Great Elder's list of grievances.

  "Big brother, you have no right to make decisions for us. Ye Chen absolutely cannot be handed over. Even if the Ye family is destroyed, we must protect Ye Chen. This is the result of our four-person joint decision!"

  The four elders rushed over and glared at the great elder with anger in their eyes.

  "Haha, if you don't hand over Ye Chen today, the Ye family will be completely annihilated in Lin City today, and not a single person from the Ye family will be left alive!" Duanmu Ou finally lost his patience and directly used his power to suppress others. The four major forces joined forces together, and in their opinion, it was too easy to crush the Ye family.

  "Is that so? If the Duanmu family, representing several families in Lincheng, says such a thing to the City Master's Mansion, then your family and the City Master's Mansion don't need to exist in Lincheng either. Disappear!"

  Still looking for flowers, is there any?
