Chapter 433: Chapter 432 Your Ancestor Calls Me...

Ye Lingjue’s lips curved into a smile as he waved the old man away and looked down upon Ye Xuan, saying indifferently, "This young master has risked a certain death punishment to save you two, and this is your attitude?"

"Ye Xuan, do not be disrespectful!" Ye Hongyi was trembling with fear at this moment.

This was within the Ye Family Main House, where the territory belonged to the Great Elder’s lineage.

Showing such disrespect was simply courting death!

Ye Xuan’s eyes were deep, and he spoke slowly, "Doesn’t great-grandfather find it obvious, that this fellow did it on purpose?"

"Ye Xuan!" Ye Hongyi scolded sternly.

In secret, Ye Hongyi conveyed through a whisper, "Ye Xuan, great-grandfather knows, but at times like these, feigning ignorance and gratitude is better than stating the truth outright!"

Having stayed in the Ye Family Main House for so long, Ye Hongyi naturally knew what actions and words were expected of every position and status.

Ye Lingjue was the young master of the Main Family.

And he was but a servant from a branch family that entered the Main Family, just following whatever the master said, saying whatever the master wished.

Otherwise, it meant walking down a path of certain death!

Yet, Ye Xuan’s expression remained cold, and a chill rose in his heart.

These words inadvertently revealed Ye Hongyi’s miserable situation in the Ye Family.

This only made Ye Xuan more certain of his thoughts!

The Ye Family must be swept clean!

"You are of too low a status to speak with me, call your grandfather out," Ye Xuan said coldly.

"Oh, my status is too low?" Ye Lingjue suddenly burst out laughing.

"Is this guy crazy, saying that Young Master Lingjue’s status is too low? Doesn’t he know that all it would take for Young Master Lingjue to kill him is just one word?" the guards beside murmured secretly, their looks odd.

In their eyes, this person speaking nonsense was completely a fool.

"Then you tell me, how high is your status?" Ye Lingjue asked with interest.

"Young Master Lingjue, my grandson here was a fool before, and even though he has recovered, he still has some speaking issues. Don’t mind him, I will definitely reprimand him when we get back," Ye Hongyi apologized hastily.

He was very clear that Ye Lingjue wanted to make a move on Ye Xuan!

He would not allow anything to happen to Ye Xuan!

He would use any means necessary to protect Ye Xuan!

At that moment, regret surged in Ye Hongyi’s heart more than ever.

He really shouldn’t have brought Ye Xuan here!

And there was another thing.

He had underestimated how differently the other members of the Main Family treated the Main Family and the branches.

Whether it was Ye Lingfeng, Ye Lingfei from the Family Head lineage, or this Ye Lingjue from the Great Elder lineage, it was all the same!

Upon learning of Ye Xuan’s strength, their first thought was to make Ye Xuan submit under their feet and work for them.

They had no wish to see Ye Xuan rise and stand on equal footing with those demonic talents!

As these thoughts filled his mind, Ye Hongyi was filled with both regret and guilt.

It seemed that today, they may not be able to leave this place easily!

"I didn’t ask you," Ye Lingjue said coldly as he glanced at Ye Hongyi, his gaze falling back onto Ye Xuan, he continued softly, "Come on, tell me, what is your status?"

"My status?" Ye Xuan muttered to himself before saying indifferently, "Even your family’s ancestral patriarch has to call me ’Dad’."

Even your family’s ancestral patriarch has to call me ’Dad’!

This sentence, like a depth-charge, explosively detonated, causing a massive upheaval like a tempest shaking the heavens and earth!

The Ye Family experts surrounding the great hall were all dumbstruck.

Those beside Ye Lingjue were also stupefied.

Ye Hongyi was even more frightened, his complexion turning pale.

It was all over!

Sure enough, upon hearing that statement, Ye Lingjue’s expression turned utterly grim, a terrifying aura swirling around him.

"Are you seeking death?" Ye Lingjue almost roared.

"Seize him! I want to pull out his teeth, one by one, and chop his tongue off, piece by piece!" Ye Lingjue commanded.

"Yes, Young Master!"

The Ye Family experts around immediately took action, all rushing towards Ye Xuan.

"I’d like to see who dares!" Ye Hongyi reacted, issuing a terrifying roar.

At that moment, Ye Hongyi’s strength erupted to its peak.

The terrifying presence directly intimidated those people.

Ye Hongyi’s strength, within the Ye Family Main House, though not the most outstanding, was definitely a mainstay!

The ordinary guards and stewards were no match for Ye Hongyi.

It’s just that Ye Hongyi has always been low-key, working under Ye Lingfeng.

In fact, if the older generation knew, they would acknowledge that Ye Hongyi actually had a chance to become a secondary elder. Back then, he worked under Ye Lingfeng’s uncle with great competence and received praise from the Ye Family Head.

Unfortunately, due to the incident with Ye Mingtian, Ye Hongyi’s father, he was not able to secure that position, and instead continued to work under Ye Lingfeng.

To protect Ye Lingfeng.

Today, Ye Hongyi’s sudden outburst reminded people.

This Ye Hongyi was no ordinary person!

"A bunch of useless things!"

Seeing that everyone was intimidated, Ye Lingjue’s face took on an ugly expression. He cursed under his breath, "Useless fools," then he turned to the elder behind him, "Ye Jinrong, take down that old man!"

"The rest of you, assist Ye Jinrong!"

"Yes, Young Master!" The elder called Ye Jinrong was the first to make a move, charging towards Ye Hongyi.

Ye Jinrong, also a formidable expert, was no weaker than Ye Hongyi in strength. With so many people supporting him, he naturally had no fear of Ye Hongyi.

"Is Young Master Lingjue determined to eradicate them all?" Ye Hongyi’s face grew ugly.

"Eradicate them all? Had it not been for your grandson’s insolent words and insults to our ancestors, would I have needed to eradicate anyone?" Ye Lingjue said coldly.

Ye Hongyi’s face turned exceedingly grim.

"Die, Ye Hongyi!" Ye Jinrong had already lunged to attack.

Boom!

Ye Hongyi and Ye Jinrong clashed instantly.

The other fighters joined the battle, too.

Bang bang bang bang----

However, in the next moment.

All of them, including Ye Jinrong.

Collapsed onto the ground.

They had lifeless eyes, as if they had lost their souls.

They were all dead.

The previously overwhelmed Ye Hongyi suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Looking at the bodies of everyone who had died, Ye Hongyi hadn’t even had time to retract his fist.

That punch had directly shattered a giant pillar next to him.

Boom!

The great hall trembled.

"What the hell is happening!?" Ye Lingjue was completely dumbfounded.

What kind of trickery is this?! How could they all just fall down?

Are they all playing dead?!

This bizarre scene left Ye Lingjue utterly unable to react.

Bizarre.

It was just too bizarre!

How could this happen so suddenly!?

He didn’t even know what had happened.

Nobody knew what had happened.

In just the blink of an eye, only Ye Lingjue, Ye Xuan, and Ye Hongyi remained.

The others, all collapsed on the ground.

Ye Hongyi took a deep breath, his face pale.

In an instant, he guessed what might have happened.

It must have been Little Xuan’s doing!

Ye Hongyi glanced at Ye Xuan, who had remained calm throughout, and whispered, "Little Xuan, let’s get out of here quickly!"

However, Ye Hongyi couldn’t move Ye Xuan at all.

Ye Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Great Grandfather, there’s no need to be afraid. I’ll handle this matter."

"Little Xuan!" Ye Hongyi was greatly alarmed.

Ye Xuan calmly looked at Ye Hongyi.

Feeling Ye Xuan’s gaze, Ye Hongyi sighed, withdrew his hand, and stood silently to the side, "I’ll listen to you"

He knew he couldn’t persuade Ye Xuan.

However, if anything were to happen to Ye Xuan today, he wouldn’t want to live in this world either.

If it came to it, they would die together.

It was just that he felt somewhat guilty towards his second brother for not being able to bring Little Xuan home safely.

"Now, it’s time for you to call someone." Ye Xuan looked indifferently at Ye Lingjue and spoke slowly, "Remember, don’t call trash here. Call your grandfather. No one else is qualified to talk to me, understand?"

Ye Lingjue looked at Ye Xuan with a terrified expression, anxiously watching him, afraid that Ye Xuan might do something else.

Although unclear about what exactly had transpired, he was certain it had something to do with this Ye Xuan.

Without any hesitation, Ye Lingjue immediately notified his own grandfather, Ye Chengshan.

Ye Chengshan, who was cultivating at the time, suddenly sensed the Jade Talisman lighting up and opened his eyes in response.

Two sharp lights shot from his eyes, fierce as a bull charging.

"Lingjue? Isn’t he supposed to be at home? What does he want with me?" Ye Chengshan was somewhat puzzled.

This grandson was not his favorite, merely average in his eyes.

But Ye Chengshan had a reasonably good impression of him for being obedient and sensible.

"Well, let’s see what’s going on."

Thinking there was nothing urgent, Ye Chengshan decided to check.

Without any visible movement from Ye Chengshan, his figure appeared out of nowhere in the great hall where Ye Lingjue was, sitting cross-legged in the air and exuding a powerful aura.

"Lingjue, what do you need Grandpa for..."

Ye Chengshan didn’t finish his sentence when he caught sight of the scene in the great hall.
