Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“You’re talking nonsense. I’m not disrespecting my elders.” Ye Lingyue was a little flustered. She did not dare to be too presumptuous here. No one dared to touch her grandfather’s authority in the Ye family.

“Hmph, I’m too lazy to waste my breath on you. Apologize to my parents and get out of here. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude to you.” Ye Xuan scolded her in a low voice.

Ye Lingyue jumped. She had come to find trouble, but she did not expect Ye Xuan to be so sharp-tongued and retort to her. If her grandfather found out, she would be scolded, and her parents would also be implicated.

Thinking of this, she had no choice but to obey. “Uncle, I’m sorry. I was wrong.”

After saying this, she did not care about the people’s strange looks and ran away in a hurry.

The people who were watching the show nearby were all stunned. No one had expected that Ye Xuan, who had returned with Ye Zhenxiang for the first time, would be so overpowering.

Even the parents, Ye Zhenxiang and his wife, were stunned. This was the first time they had seen such an oppressive aspect of their son.

Ye Xuan was expressionless. His eyes were cold as he stared at the departing figure. He had been so arrogant and despotic since he was young. 

He came back today to protect his father. How could he let his family be insulted just like that?

Ye Xuan wanted everyone present to know that from now on, everyone had to be polite to his father and maintain the respect they deserved.

He looked around coldly and sat down expressionlessly.

However, just as Ye Xuan sat down, he heard a crisp voice.

“Brother, Sister Lingyue is still young. Aren’t you out of line by reprimanding her like this?”

Ye Ying pushed everyone aside and walked over. She was Ye Ming’s biological sister. Their family had always been hostile towards Ye Xuan’s family.

“Shut up!”

Ye Xuan suddenly shouted, “The Ye family is one of the eight great families in the province of Suzhou City. Grandfather worked hard to build it. The Ye family’s current status results from grandfather’s lifetime of experience. Any member of the Ye family represents the face of the Ye family. If they have no respect for their elders at such a young age, how bad will it be for the Ye family?

“You do not make an effort to maintain the image of the family, yet you dare to criticize me? If you think I’m being calculative, how about you ask Grandpa to come out and judge?”

Ye Ying was instantly stunned in the face of Ye Xuan’s scolding. Her face was ashen, and she couldn’t even say a word of rebuttal.

Her chest rose and fell violently. It took her a while to recover. She could no longer maintain her calmness and pointed at Ye Xuan angrily, “Ye Xuan, what right do you have to yell at me? You are the one tarnishing the family name. You can’t even condense Qi at your age. Do you think you’re qualified to lecture me?”

Ye Ying’s words immediately resonated with the younger generation of the Ye family. Hearing Ye Xuan’s words just now, they were so angry that they almost lost their breath.

“Ye Xuan, the reason why our Ye family has its current status is that we are a family of warriors that have been passed down for generations. You’re the one who’s holding the Ye family back.”

“That’s right. The Ye family doesn’t lack people who are brilliant and eloquent. Strength is the root of our family.”

“That’s right. Any of the juniors present today can beat you to the ground.”

Ye Xuan sneered. Looking at the younger generation of the Ye family, these people were really confident.

“None of you are worthy of being compared to me. Even the kings and the strong warriors in China would look up to me. I am the target of all living beings. You have no right to understand what kind of existence I am.” Ye Xuan shook his head in disdain.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was complete silence. Everyone was so shocked that their mouths went wide open.

“Hahaha!”

“What an idiot. He’s bragging too much!”

“Is there something wrong with his brain? He actually thinks he’s so strong?”

Mocking voices broke the silence. Even the second generation of the Ye family could not help but shake their heads.

Ye Zhenxiang and Liu Lingmei were highly embarrassed.

Just as everyone was jeering, Ye Zhenxiang’s phone rang.

He answered the phone as usual. Then he looked at Ye Xuan and said, “Ye Xuan, your grandfather wants to see you. He’s in the study upstairs. You can go up.”

Hearing this, everyone stopped laughing.

They did not understand what the old man wanted. These people were waiting downstairs, but the old man did not come down. Now, he let a junior like Ye Xuan go upstairs first? Since when did Ye Xuan become important?

“Okay!”

Ye Xuan slowly stood up and ignored everyone’s surprise. He walked upstairs with a calm expression and came to the second floor. He saw Ye Zhengnan, the head of the Ye family, sitting on the sofa and watching TV.

Seeing Ye Xuan walk up, Ye Zhengnan greeted kindly.

Ye Xuan’s expression was complicated. Although the old man had never cared about his family and was unusually cold, and he had not been to this manor in all these years, it was not the first time he had seen the old man. Every time he treated Ye Xuan, he was always so kind.

The Ye family had its current status because of Ye Zhengnan’s rules over the years. He had his own set of management methods, and no one dared to violate his rules.

The Ye family valued warriors, and the strong were respected.

For this reason, Ye Xuan’s father, Ye Zhenxiang, was ostracized because of his low talent. The old man was also a meticulous person, and once he set the rules, he would not break them. He also did not take care of Ye Zhenxiang from the outside.

That was why Ye Zhenxiang left the family and went far away.

Ye Zhengnan was a loyal old man. He managed the family in an orderly manner. Still, he did not know how to deal with the matters of estrangement between father and son.

Ye Xuan also understood this problem.

“Grandpa,” Ye Xuan called out, and then he sat next to Ye Zhengnan.

Ye Zhengnan nodded gently and looked Ye Xuan up and down. He said with a smile, “Ye Xuan, we haven’t seen each other for many years. You’ve grown into a young man. You can also shelter your father from trouble now.”

“Grandpa, that’s what I should do.” Ye Xuan said faintly.

“Now that you’ve reached the age of starting a family and starting a business, I want to ask what plans you have for the future and if you have any considerations for becoming a warrior?” Ye Zhengnan asked softly.

“Grandpa, if I choose to become a warrior, will you support me?” Ye Xuan did not answer but instead asked a question.

A glint flashed through Ye Zhengnan’s turbid eyes. He looked deeply at Ye Xuan. “Ye Xuan, you have to know that no matter whose son you are, you are the heir of the Ye family and my grandson.”

“So, you will treat me equally and support me just like you would support others, right?”

“That’s right!” Ye Zhengnan nodded..
