At this moment, Ye Wushuang’s eyes were bloodshot and terrifying, his white shirt stained with blood across the chest, his mouth’s bloodstains dried, and his face deathly pale. He looked like a prisoner who had been locked away for years, deprived of sunlight, utterly disheveled.
“I understand!” Ye Wushuang knelt down, gazing at the flames within the charcoal brazier.
“Brother… I’m sorry…” Ye Yunzhe’s face was grim as he said, “Within three months, I’ve already recovered to the seventh level of the Wanfa Realm, but who would have known… there’s actually a person at the peak of the ninth level of the Wanfa Realm within the Liu Clan…”
“I joined forces with Qing Mu to fight against the four great families, but we suffered defeat after defeat. Now, we can only protect this Ye Mansion…”
“But they didn’t annihilate us completely. It seems they were waiting for your return.”
“I’m sorry, brother. It’s my fault. I’m useless.”
Ye Yunzhe clenched his fists tightly. In the past, the Ye family had relied on his eldest and second brothers. The eldest brother was reincarnated, the second brother was killed, and he was captured. Now that the eldest brother had returned and saved him, he still couldn’t protect the people his brother valued so much.
“Fool!” Ye Wushuang gently patted Ye Yunzhe’s head, took a breath, and smiled, “It’s okay. Since they killed Uncle He, I’ll go and kill them.”
“Everyone should rest well tonight. No one is allowed to go out without my order.”
“Tomorrow, it will be the Ye Clan’s counterattack!”
Hearing this, Ye Yunzhe nodded fiercely.
“I’ll keep vigil for Uncle He tonight.”
“Okay.”
Inside the hall, Ye Yunzhe left. After a while, Ye Wushuang slowly said, “Come out.”
Outside the hall, a figure slowly approached. It was Chu Qingcheng. She had followed Ye Wushuang to the Ye Mansion and had seen everything that had happened before.
“Are you alright, Ye Wushuang?” Chu Qingcheng came to Ye Wushuang’s side and asked with concern. She had never seen Ye Wushuang lose his composure like this. It was the first time.
Ye Wushuang smiled, looked at the coffin, and said, “When I was little, as far as I can remember, Uncle He was already in our family. His wages were pitifully low, and back then, I even despised him for being old.”
“At that time, our family still had some savings. As we grew up, the savings ran out, and all the servants were dismissed, but Uncle He just wouldn’t leave.”
“I used to complain about him staying in our house, eating an extra mouthful of food. I really disliked him.”
“But as I grew up, I realized how good Uncle He was. When there wasn’t enough food at home, he would dig up wild grass and eat it secretly.”
“When my sister and I were beaten, he would protect us.”
“When I was stripped of my琵琶骨and had my meridians destroyed by the Yun family, Uncle He cried and carried me home in the middle of the night…”
“To outsiders, he was just a servant, but to our family, he was the eldest in seniority.”
“Ever since I changed, I realized even more that his sacrifices were unknown to others.”
“In the past and now, it’s always me who owes him more.”
At this point, Chu Qingcheng’s beautiful eyes glistened with tears.
“No matter how much I’ve roamed through life, in the end, I can’t escape the word ’emotion’.”
“Uncle He was an orphan, with no family all his life. We were his family. He had no children and dedicated his entire life to the Ye family.”
“I, Ye Wushuang, will see him off!”
The quiet night, in Qingtian City, the lights were bright. But now, Qingtian City was filled with an unsettling atmosphere everywhere.
Liu Clan, Liu Mansion.
The clan leader, Liu Zhengzong, dressed in a long robe, sat calmly at the head of the table with a teacup in hand.
The first seat on his left was occupied by Liu Zhengyuan, the second master of the Liu Clan, who wore an arrogant expression.
Below him was the current leader of the Qin Clan, Qin Tari.
On the right side, there were also two people.
The leader of the Chu Clan, Chu Gongyao!
The leader of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Qingge!
Now, from the seating arrangement, it was clear that the Liu Clan, which was originally in a weaker position among the five great families, had now become the most powerful.
For Qin Tari, Chu Gongyao, and Xiao Qingge, this was something they had to accept.
Within the Liu Clan!
There was actually an invincible person at the peak of the Wanfa Realm.
This fact had shocked them all.
Among the five great families, even the Shang Clan, which had been destroyed, seemed stronger than the Liu Clan.
But now, with an invincible person at the peak of the Wanfa Realm within the Liu Clan, who among the Qin, Xiao, and Chu Clans would dare to challenge?
The Liu Clan was undoubtedly the number one family.
Liu Zhengzong put down his cup and said with a smile, “I’ve called the three of you here today to remind you once again.”
Liu Zhengzong now had the demeanor of authority.
It was a summons, not an invitation!
Clan Leader Xiao Qingge bowed and said with a forced smile, “Clan Leader Liu, please feel free to give your orders.”
Liu Zhengzong coughed and said solemnly, “The current royal family is just making a last stand. That’s not important. What’s important is the Ye Clan.”
Hearing this, Qin Tari asked curiously, “Clan Leader Liu, with our current strength, it would be easy to annihilate the Ye Clan. Why… does that great person insist on keeping these people from the Ye Clan?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Zhengyuan’s eyes swept over Qin Tari, his expression indifferent.
