Chapter 36: Chapter 34 I Want to Challenge You

With a single word, the hall was shocked!

No one had expected the Second Elder’s beloved granddaughter to stand up, confront the Great Elder, and defend the waste Ye Chen.

The Second Elder’s face sank immediately, and he barked, "Zimei, what nonsense are you talking about? Come back here."

"No, I just want to prove Brother Ye Chen’s innocence," Ye Zimei said with a resolute look.

"Don’t talk back, come back here."

The Second Elder’s low shout and the unpleasant look on his face revealed his upset; his cherished granddaughter was actually helping the waste son of the line that rivaled his own, tarnishing his reputation.

However, Ye Zimei was just as stubborn, even refusing the requests of her most beloved grandfather, spreading her arms to protect Ye Chen, vowing to continue her guardianship.

This scene also shattered the hearts of many juniors in the family.

After all, Ye Zimei was regarded as the dream lover of many young men in the family—beautiful, gentle, and the Second Elder’s beloved granddaughter—and here she was, resolutely defending Ye Chen. Could this mean that she had feelings for the useless Ye Chen?

Ye Zhengyang’s face was particularly ugly, his fists clenched tightly, evidently upset by Ye Zimei’s actions. Having regarded Ye Zimei as his future bride for a long time, and now to see her stand up for another man, his heart could not be at ease.

"This waste..."

Ye Zhengyang looked at Ye Chen with venomous eyes, wishing he could tear him into a thousand pieces. If it weren’t for this waste, such a situation would never have arisen.

From the head seat, Ye Ao shouted in approval and nodded towards Ye Zimei, saying with a smile, "Niece Zimei, since you are willing to stand up to prove Chen’er’s innocence, your uncle is very relieved."

Ye Zimei shook her head slightly, "Uncle, this is what I should do. I can’t let Brother Ye Chen be wronged."

Seeing this made Ye Ao secretly sigh. Although he did not get along well with the three elders, their descendants did not necessarily follow suit. Ye Zimei was the best proof, unexpectedly supporting justice over family ties.

However, catching occasional glimpses of the looks Ye Zimei gave Ye Chen, which were somewhat erratic and infatuated, Ye Ao was slightly taken aback before he laughed, realizing the situation; no wonder...

Ye Chen sighed softly, "Zimei, why bother?"

To affirm his innocence, she would inevitably turn against her own grandfather, and that was a great sacrifice.

But Ye Zimei remained resolute, "Brother Ye Chen, this is what I should do."

Furious, the Second Elder shouted three "good"s in a row, "Good, good, good, Ye Chen, you’ve really got some nerve, to even charm my precious granddaughter’s soul. Come, seize this little beast at once to be disciplined by our clan’s law."

"Yes."

At once, several burly men rushed forward to capture Ye Chen, but at that moment, Ye Ao on the platform let out a cold snort and angrily flung his sleeve, unleashing a tremendous burst of energy.

Those who had approached to capture Ye Chen were struck as if by lightning, thrown back over a dozen meters, landing awkwardly. They were not injured, clearly because Ye Ao had shown mercy, but they were terrified nonetheless and dared not advance any further.

Ye Ao directly sent several burly men flying ten meters across the air, his aura oppressive, as his eyes sparked with an icy glare, he shouted, "I’d like to see who dares to harm a single hair on my son."

The facial expressions of the three elders changed subtly, and the Great Elder shouted even louder, "Ye Ao, do you dare to disregard the Ye Family’s clan rules and protect your useless son on your own?"

Ye Ao snorted coldly, "You three old fools sure have some nerve, setting up my son like this. Do you really think I, as the Family Head, don’t exist? Hmph, whoever dares to make a move, I will respond in kind."

A surging aura burst forth in an instant, emanating from Ye Ao, and the terrifying pressure seemed to suck all the air out of the entire hall, giving everyone a suffocating feeling.

Even the floor of the hall cracked and groaned, with tiny fractures spreading out to climb up the columns.

Some of the clan members with weaker cultivations couldn’t withstand it and fainted on the spot.

This was the might of Luofeng City’s number one expert, an Innate Realm super expert, who was not far from the legendary Martial God Realm, causing everyone’s face to pale, an aura no ordinary person could withstand.

The three elders were all great experts of the Ye Family. Although not as powerful as Ye Ao, at this time, they all unleashed the powerful aura of the Innate Realm to defend themselves. The Great Elder even shouted, "Ye Ao, don’t think the Ye Family is under your sole dictate. Since Ye Chen has committed a crime and refuses to admit it, he must be severely punished. It’s inevitable. Do you really want to bend the rules to shield your useless son?"

"Accuse someone of a crime and you will find a pretext. Ridiculous, just with you three old fools to arbitrarily condemn my son?" Ye Ao snorted coldly, appearing very assertive at this moment, "Do you really think that if I don’t intervene, you three old men can control the entire Ye Family? As long as I am the Family Head, I have the ultimate authority in this Ye Family, none of you three old men can surpass me."

"Ye Ao, don’t forget, although you are the Family Head, the three of us exist precisely to check and balance you," the Third Elder retorted coldly, "Moreover, your useless son deserves his punishment and must face the family’s judgment."

In the hall, the four Innate Experts faced off, their powerful Innate Realm auras blossoming, plunging the hall into a contested field, with everyone in terror.

And at the center of it all was nothing more than the so-called useless Ye Chen.

Useless?

Elder Yan suddenly looked at the three elders with a hint of pity, shaking his head. If these three old men knew the true origins of Ye Chen, they probably wouldn’t think that way.

Besides, the current Ye Chen couldn’t be called useless at all.

"You’ve really had enough, calling someone useless over and over, as if you were some sort of superior being." At this moment, Ye Chen finally spoke up, breaking the silence in the hall.

Among those present, he was the only one unaffected by the oppressive auras of the four Innate Experts, remaining calm and composed.

Even Ye Zhengyang couldn’t compare to him in this aspect, leaving others surprised and puzzled.

Ye Chen’s gaze swept coldly towards the three elders, "Setting aside the truth of these matters for now, even if they were true, it would not be enough to warrant a family judgment. I am aware that family judgments are for those who have committed heinous crimes. If these three so-called matters could identify me with such crimes, then you three old men are indeed persecuting me, Ye Chen, too far."

"Moreover, everyone saw Ye Hua attempting to sneak attack me, including you, Third Elder, but you do not dare to admit it. Instead, you slander me. To be so excessively unjust, is also too much."

"And since you three old men think I’m useless, then today I will prove to you who is the real useless one."

Ye Chen snorted coldly, pointing his finger at Ye Zhengyang, his voice resounding throughout the hall, "Ye Zhengyang, come out. Today, I challenge you here."
