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 imdiately, and he barked, "Zii, what nonsense are you talking about? Co back here."
"No, I just want to prove Brother Ye Chen’s innocence," Ye Zii said with a resolute look.
"Don’t talk back, co 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 Zii 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 Zii was regarded as the dream lover of many young n in the family—beautiful, gentle, and the Second Elder’s beloved granddaughter—and here she was, resolutely defending Ye Chen. Could this an that she had feelings for the useless Ye Chen?
Ye Zhengyang’s face was particularly ugly, his fists clenched tightly, evidently upset by Ye Zii’s actions. Having regarded Ye Zii as his future bride for a long ti, 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 Zii, saying with a smile, "Niece Zii, since you are willing to stand up to prove Chen’er’s innocence, your uncle is very relieved."
Ye Zii 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 Zii was the best proof, unexpectedly supporting justice over family ties.
However, catching occasional glimpses of the looks Ye Zii gave Ye Chen, which were sowhat erratic and infatuated, Ye Ao was slightly taken aback before he laughed, realizing the situation; no wonder...
Ye Chen sighed softly, "Zii, why bother?"
To affirm his innocence, she would inevitably turn against her own grandfather, and that was a great sacrifice.
But Ye Zii 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 so nerve, to even charm my precious granddaughter’s soul. Co, seize this little beast at once to be disciplined by our clan’s law."
"Yes."
At once, several burly n rushed forward to capture Ye Chen, but at that mont, Ye Ao on the platform let out a cold snort and angrily flung his sleeve, unleashing a trendous burst of energy.
Those who had approached to capture Ye Chen were struck as if by lightning, thrown back over a dozen ters, landing awkwardly. They were not injured, clearly because Ye Ao had shown rcy, but they were terrified nonetheless and dared not advance any further.
Ye Ao directly sent several burly n flying ten ters 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 so 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 seed 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.
So of the clan mbers 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 ti, 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 cri 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 soone of a cri 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 mont, "Do you really think that if I don’t intervene, you three old n 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 n can surpass ."
"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 punishnt and must face the family’s judgnt."
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 n 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 soone useless over and over, as if you were so sort of superior being." At this mont, 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 judgnt. I am aware that family judgnts are for those who have committed heinous cris. If these three so-called matters could identify with such cris, then you three old n are indeed persecuting , Ye Chen, too far."
"Moreover, everyone saw Ye Hua attempting to sneak attack , including you, Third Elder, but you do not dare to admit it. Instead, you slander . To be so excessively unjust, is also too much."
"And since you three old n 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, co out. Today, I challenge you here."
