In the Martial Arts Arena, all the young n and won were left dumbfounded.
Ye Chen was considered a piece of trash, and although Ye Hua was not very strong, he was still at the Sixth Level of the Acquired Realm, while Ye Chen was rely at the Third Realm of the Acquired. The gap spanned three whole levels.
Yet now, Ye Hua was kicked away in a single encounter, the contrast seed a bit too extre.
Ye Zhengyang’s pupils shrank; this "trash" appeared to have made significant improvents in these four months.
Ye Zii was, however, delighted because she felt that Ye Chen’s strength had indeed increased a lot.
The Third Elder and the family stewards were all shocked; since when had Ye Chen beco so powerful, and they hadn’t even noticed.
Ye Chen glanced indifferently at Ye Hua on the ground, then turned and walked away.
At that mont, Ye Hua, holding back his intense pain, stood up, his eyes bloodshot and he roared, "Ye Chen, you dare to kick , this won’t end so easily—"
"Brother Ye Chen, be careful—" Ye Zii exclaid in alarm.
However, before she could finish her words, Ye Chen kicked Ye Hua in the face, and he was sent flying once again, his nose caved in, blood spurting from his nose and mouth, mixed with a few teeth, in a tragic display.
His face was completely ruined.
Stunned!
Everyone was stunned!
Other than being dumbfounded, the people present were still dumbfounded; this "trash" was too ferocious.
Ye Chen dusted off his hands, glanced at Ye Hua lying on the ground, and said, "Who needs your forgiveness? If you don’t want to die, then get lost. This young master has no spare ti to waste on you. If you dare to make a move again, I’ll cripple you right away."
Ye Hua wanted to drop a few harsh threats, but seeing those eyes filled with indifferent ruthlessness, like a hunter coldly eyeing his prey, fear instantly rose in his heart. He understood that Ye Chen was definitely not joking and turned his head to seek help from Ye Zhengyang.
At this ti, Ye Zhengyang’s expression was also not looking good. After all, he was responsible for instructing these clan juniors today. Ye Chen’s ruthless actions, not only striking Ye Hua in his presence, had also completely overshadowed his lilight.
If he didn’t step forward, where would he put his own face?
Ye Zhengyang stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Cousin Ye Chen, anyway, I am responsible for guiding these younger brothers and sisters today. You hit cousin Ye Hua without saying a word, aren’t you failing to take into account?"
Ye Zii’s face changed slightly, clearly understanding that Ye Zhengyang was intentionally making things difficult for Ye Chen, and she hurriedly spoke up for Ye Chen, "Cousin Zhengyang, everyone here saw that it was Ye Hua who initiated the attack to harm Brother Ye Chen. Brother Ye Chen was only righteously defending himself, and he has done nothing wrong."
Seeing the woman he admired speak up for that "trash" Ye Chen ti and ti again, Ye Zhengyang’s expression darkened even more and said, "Zii, no matter what, Ye Chen needs to give an explanation today."
"Ye Zhengyang, you—" Ye Zii was about to retort, but her delicate wrist was suddenly pulled. As she tried to break free, she realized it was Ye Chen who had taken her hand. She relaxed, letting him hold her hand. A faint blush crept over her lovely face, but she made no move to struggle.
"Sister Zii, let handle this. Matters between n should be settled by n," Ye Chen said to her with a gentle smile. Ye Zii stared at him, then her face flushed with shyness, and she timidly nodded her head.
Seeing this, Ye Zhengyang’s expression turned icy in an instant, ready to speak. But at that mont, Ye Chen suddenly addressed him, "Alright, since Cousin Zhengyang has spoken, if I don’t give you an explanation, it wouldn’t be right. Cousin Zhengyang, I’m sorry, I hit Ye Hua. Is that acceptable?"
"..."
Ye Zhengyang’s entire expression darkened, what was the aning of this? It wasn’t so much an explanation as it seed like he was being played with, which infuriated him.
And the rest of the clan’s younger generation was sowhat dumbfounded. It was one thing for Ye Chen to have hit Ye Hua, but now his tone clearly seed to be provoking Ye Zhengyang, the leading figure of the younger generation of the family—was his courage too great?
"Ye Chen, are you mocking ?" Ye Zhengyang shouted.
"Look here, Cousin Zhengyang, didn’t you say that if I hit Ye Hua, I should tell you? Now haven’t I told you? Yet here you are accusing of mocking you, so who is really doing the accusing here?"
Ye Chen shrugged his shoulders, an innocent look on his face. Although everyone felt there might be so sense in Ye Chen’s words, why did it all sound so uncomfortable?
Ye Zhengyang snorted, "Though you say so, striking soone on your own in front of , Cousin Ye Chen, you really seem to not take seriously."
Ye Chen laughed, though it was more of a cold laugh, looking at Ye Zhengyang he said, "Ye Zhengyang, everyone saw clearly what just happened. As for your accusation of attacking unprovoked, anyone could see that it was Ye Hua who struck first, yet I didn’t see you stop him. Now, I rely defended myself, and you bla . I have to say, aren’t you being overly biased against ?"
Many of the clan’s young mbers couldn’t help but nod their heads in agreent, but they all bowed their heads, not daring to speak out, under Ye Zhengyang’s icy gaze.
The Third Elder and several managers didn’t open their mouths either. They looked at Ye Zhengyang, and at this mont, it was also a test.
Ye Zhengyang said coldly, "Still daring to quibble at this point? Everyone has witnessed that you, Ye Chen, deliberately injured Ye Hua, disrupted the order of the Martial Arts Arena, showed insubordination, and challenged the coach’s authority. Third Elder, I sincerely request that the family conduct a judgent on Ye Chen."
Family judgent!?
Upon hearing this term, Ye Chen’s expression instantly beca grave.
The so-called family judgent was an assessnt conducted for family mbers accused of serious wrongdoings, carried out by all the high-ranking family mbers, to decide on the family mber’s charges.
If found innocent, fine, but if guilty...
At the least, imprisonnt; at the worst, they would receive severe punishnt, even stripping them of their Cultivation.
The other younger mbers of the family in attendance couldn’t help but inhale sharply, pitying Ye Chen with their gazes. Those subject to a family judgent seldom had a good outco.
"Grandfather, you mustn’t," urgently interjected Ye Zii, fearing the heavy responsibility that would befall Ye Chen if he were judged.
After a mont of silence, the Third Elder actually nodded, saying, "It is well, summon the n to detain Ye Chen and begin the family judgent."
As these words fell, several burly n suddenly stepped forward swiftly, aiming to pin Ye Chen and block his movents, but the Inner Strength within Ye Chen burst forth, repelling these n, preventing them from getting close.
The Third Elder’s eyes widened as he shouted, "Ye Chen, do you really intend to resist?"
Ye Chen rely smiled coldly, waving his sleeve, "I can walk by myself."
He knew resistance was futile; when an elder spoke, their authority was second only to his father, the Family Head. Any opposition would only add to his troubles.
The Third Elder’s face darkened slightly, but he said no more; the burly n naturally did not dare to step forward and lay hands on him.
"Ye Chen, do you need this old man to lend a hand and deal with these people? It would be as easy as turning over my hand," a faint voice rang out, and from the Ancient Ring drifted a phantom figure, the mysterious Elder Yan, casually glancing at the others around.
However, Elder Yan’s sudden appearance seed non-existent to everyone present, as if they couldn’t see him at all.
This was Elder Yan’s special technique; unless one possessed truly fearso power, nobody could see him unless he chose to reveal himself.
Ye Chen shook his head; he wanted to see how these family elders would judge him. If they truly made up charges against him, suppressed him, and persecuted him, he wouldn’t mind teaching these old n a lesson they’d rember for a lifeti.
As for the so-called family judgent, he had never taken it seriously.
"Brother Ye Chen, don’t worry, Ye Zii will testify to your innocence," Ye Zii stepped forward, her delicate and charming face ca into view, bringing a gentle, pleasant fragrance that was intoxicating.
"Thank you," answered Ye Chen sincerely, gratitude for her support at such a ti. He pinched the girl’s slightly rosy cheek with a gentle smile, sunny and eye-catching, "Don’t worry, I’ll be fine."
Beholding the young man’s handso and radiant smile, Ye Zii was taken aback...
...
In the East District of Luofeng City, within a magnificent estate, grand doors swung open, and a dignified white-robed elder erged.
As he appeared, people on the streets cast their gaze upon the chest badge shaped like a tripod furnace with a star sparkling on it. They all couldn’t help but look up with awe.
A luxurious chariot stopped in front of the white-robed elder; the charioteer respectfully asked, "Master Li Yun, where would you like to go?"
The elder smiled faintly and answered, "To the Ye Family."
