Chapter 356 - 355: Ye Family of Wan’an City

Chapter 356: Chapter 355: Ye Family of Wan’an City

"I’m back,"

Ye Xuan stood outside the walls of Wan’an City, feeling the familiar breaths around him.

As a child, he and his playmates often frolicked and horsed around outside the city.

Although he had been through aeons, he was actually back after just five years.

The surroundings hadn’t changed much.

Ye Xuan opened his eyes, regained his calm, and walked toward the city with his hands in his pockets.

In his memory, the Ye Family was in the southern part of Wan’an City.

Within Wan’an City, the East City and North City were the most prosperous, with many wealthy and noble people.

As for the South City, it was more mediocre.

In the whole South City, there was only the Ye Family.

In Ye Xuan’s impression, within this South City, the Ye Family could be said to be the only true overlord.

In the entire South City, the Ye Family called the shots.

Ye Xuan walked into the South City full of emotions.

After countless ages, he had finally returned.

Ye Xuan ambled toward the Ye Family with his hands in his pockets, neither hastily nor slowly.

Although the eighteen streets on this side of the South City did not match the prosperity of the East City and North City, they were still quite crowded during the day.

All kinds of shops were open.

In this South City, around eighty percent of the properties were under the control of the Ye Family.

However, truth be told, Wan’an City was not very large, certainly not comparable to the Imperial City of Lie Tian Heavenly Country.

The strongest person in the city, the City Lord, just had the strength of a newly acclaimed Sealing King.

The number one expert of the Ye Family was Ye Hongli, also a Sealing King Level figure.

But according to the news, the Ye Family in Wan’an City was just a branch of the great Ye Family clan.

This branch of the Ye Family was founded by Ye Hongli.

Ye Hongli was originally a member of the great Ye Family clan.

Regarding these matters, Ye Xuan didn’t know much.

He had spent fifteen years in the Ye Family of Wan’an City, becoming an idiot at the age of eleven, and afterward he mostly stayed at home. Consequently, he was unable to learn about many things.

But after becoming an idiot, Ye Xuan also came to know quite a few things.

His grandfather often seemed to be talking to himself, but he remembered all the things he said to him.

At the moment when the Emperor Soul awakened, all those memories completely merged.

"First, I will go back to see Grandpa and Ling’er..."

"Ling’er must have grown into a young lady by now."

Thinking of his sister Ye Ling’er, a slight smile couldn’t help but appear on Ye Xuan’s lips.

His sister Ye Ling’er, one year younger than him, loved to tail behind him when they were kids.

Now to think of it, she must be almost sixteen years old.

Without even needing to think about it, he knew she must be an upright and graceful young lady.

At this thought, the smile at the corner of Ye Xuan’s mouth continued to spread.

He still remembered the day when Zhou Youwei took him away; that fourteen-year-old girl was squatting at the door, her eyes swollen from crying.

Back then, his sister had said that once she grew stronger, she would go to Emperor Immortal Sect to see him, and they had made a promise that the next time they met, he would no longer be an idiot.

Now, Ye Xuan was no longer an idiot, but a peerless demon famed throughout the Southern Domain.

"Mr. Ye?"

Just then, a figure appeared in front of him, looking at Ye Xuan somewhat uncertainly.

Ye Xuan looked at the person and, having not met him before, said calmly, "Are you sent by Mo Songbai?"

...

At this very moment.

Within the Ye Family estate, the atmosphere was bleak.

"Father, the people from the Fierce Tiger Sect are insufferable, everyone in Wan’an City knows the South City belongs to our Ye Family, yet they brazenly expand into the South City, completely disregarding us as if we’re nothing!"

In the main hall of the Ye Family, a slightly lean middle-aged man, his face flushed with anger, spoke to the elderly man in luxurious attire sitting in the main seat, who had snow-white hair, heavy bags under his eyes, and was currently massaging his forehead as if worried.

This lean middle-aged man with an eye-catching scar running from below his left eye to his chin, making him look particularly ferocious, was the second eldest of the Ye Family, Ye Minghai.

And that elderly man was the Family Head of the Ye Family, Ye Hongli.

"Second Brother, the Fierce Tiger Sect has the backing of the City Lord Mansion and the Xie Family; it’s clear they want to swallow up our Ye Family and divide Wan’an City between them!"

Across from Ye Minghai, there stood a middle-aged man in a long robe with a broad chest and bear-like waist, who spoke in a deep voice.

This robust, long-robed man was none other than the eldest of the Ye Family, Ye Mingyang.

Inside the Ye Family’s main hall, apart from the two brothers, there were also three elders present, who served as the Ye Family’s Tributors.

At this moment, they were all looking at Ye Hongli, waiting for the Family Head to speak.

Feeling everyone’s gaze, Ye Hongli sighed softly, his eyes drifting to the outside of the hall, somewhat distracted, "If Tian’er were home, how could the Fierce Tiger Sect be so arrogant..."

With this remark, everyone fell into silence.

Ye Mingtian, the third son of the Ye Family and the one with the highest talent, became Wan’an City’s first top expert at a young age.

And the Ye Family was, without a doubt, the number one force in Wan’an City.

However, because of that incident back then, Ye Mingtian was unable to return to the Ye Family.

Furthermore, following the matter with Ye Xuan, the Ye Family’s decline seemed unstoppable.

"Grandpa Ye, don’t panic, I can handle this situation!"

Just then, a young voice rang out.

Everyone turned towards the voice and saw a youthful hero in a white robe entering the hall.

"Xie Yingjiang!"

Upon seeing the young man in the white robe, aside from Ye Hongli, everyone in the Ye Family’s main hall stood up abruptly, their expressions turning grim.

"Xie Yingjiang, what business does a member of the Xie Family have at my Ye Family?"

Ye Minghai unleashed a terrifying aura, glaring at the newcomer.

That Xie Yingjiang was indeed from the Xie Family of the East City!

Xie Yingjiang appeared unafraid, and said with a chuckle, "Uncle Minghai, don’t be angry. I’ve come here naturally to help the Ye Family out of this predicament..."

"Who the hell calls you uncle?" Ye Minghai bluntly interrupted Xie Yingjiang and said coldly, "I warn you, if you keep pestering Ling’er, do you believe I’ll chop you up right now?!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yingjiang simply shrugged and responded, "Uncle Minghai, your words have hurt my feelings. I have always been sincere about wanting to marry Ling’er. How can you say such a thing?"

These words immediately darkened the faces of everyone in the Ye Family.

Especially Ye Minghai, who burst out rudely, "Cut the crap, you’ve already married the City Lord Mansion’s daughter, and now you come claiming to be sincere about marrying Ling’er?"

"Xie Yingjiang!"

Just at that moment, another person walked into the hall from outside.

This was a black-robed girl who, although looking somewhat young, already possessed a stunning beauty.

At this moment, the young face under the black robe was covered with frost as she coldly looked at Xie Yingjiang and snapped, "Haven’t I told you already? Not to cause trouble for my family. Why did the Xie Family join hands with the City Lord Mansion to incite the Fierce Tiger Sect to bully my family?!"

"Ling’er!"

Seeing the black-robed girl, Ye Minghai couldn’t help but utter a stern call, "Didn’t I tell you not to come?"

The black-robed girl was indeed Ye Ling’er.

"Ling’er, didn’t I also say that I wouldn’t cause trouble as long as you agreed to marry me? As for the Fierce Tiger Sect, that’s none of my business," Xie Yingjiang replied cheerfully.

These words angered everyone present, causing them to tremble slightly.

But they all knew very well that Xie Yingjiang was the Young Master of the Xie Family from East City and even the son-in-law of the City Lord. If they touched him, the Ye Family would inevitably suffer severe retaliation.

"Xie Yingjiang, don’t forget that my brother is a son-in-law of the Emperor Immortal Sect!" In desperation, Ye Ling’er had no choice but to bring up her own brother.

"Hahaha..."

As soon as she spoke, Xie Yingjiang burst into laughter, "Ling’er, oh Ling’er, have you been infected by your idiot brother? Even if he’s a son-in-law of the Emperor Immortal Sect, so what? Do you think they really care about him?"

"Perhaps in their eyes, your idiot brother is nothing but a dog," Xie Yingjiang said with a sneer.

"Don’t you dare insult my brother!" Ye Ling’er charged at Xie Yingjiang.

Slap!

However, Xie Yingjiang counter-struck with a slap, sending Ye Ling’er flying.

"How dare you?!"

Xie Yingjiang’s sudden move caught everyone off guard. Seeing Ye Ling’er flying out, they all became furious.

Everyone glared at Xie Yingjiang, filled with murderous intent, feeling an extreme sense of frustration.

"I’ll kill you!" Ye Minghai roared like an endangered beast, his eyes bloodshot.

"Xiao Hai!" Ye Hongli shouted sternly.

Ye Minghai then suppressed the killing intent in his heart.

Xie Yingjiang looked indifferent, hands behind his back, and coldly stared at Ye Hongli, casually said, "Grandpa Ye, calling you ’grandfather’ is out of politeness, but if the Ye Family doesn’t accept a toast and insists on a penalty drink, then don’t blame me."

"Family Head, Family Head!"

At that moment, cries of surprise came from outside.

"The Young Master has returned!"
