- Crack! -
Ye Nantian crushed the teacup in his hand as he gritted his teeth. "You know there is something wrong about my brother's death, yet you never want to face reality, only because deep in your heart, you think we are all members of Ye Clan. I am not like you. To be honest with you, I have been investigating recently. It was definitely Ye Shuxin and his men who did it!
"I had evidence!
"The elders snatched the evidence from me just to cover the truth. They destroyed the evidence and denied everything! Does it sound like something your beloved families should do?
"Forefather obviously stands on their side. He has never allowed me to do anything about it!
"You were repelled from the seat of the Chief because of what I did according to them. But who doesn't know the real reason? Do you still insist that there is no plot and scheme in it?
"Why do you have to be so tolerant?
"Do you really endure all this only because you think the family name is more important than anything else?
"Do they treat us as their family?"
"I know who the murderer is, yet I can't touch him! I can't take revenge! I can only watch him!" Ye Nantian was in a fury. He spoke and gritted his teeth, but his voice sounded cold and calm. "Father, tell me! We have been suffering it, enduring it, tolerating it, for what?"
"For just a stupid name that we share with them?
"We have been giving away unilaterally for what?
"Should we put all our families' lives on risk?
"Is it worthwhile?
"Is this clan still the Ye Clan which used to be our root? Our blood?
"Does this clan still deserve our protection and lives?"
Ye Nantian's face looked calm, but there was raging anger hidden behind his expression.
Ye Shuqing made a long sigh. He had no words to reply. The flame of anger that had just risen in his heart was put off. What he could feel was only weakness. His heart had fallen into coldness and tiredness.
That was right. It was just like his son said. Did this clan still deserve his devotion?
He had risked his life to protect this clan, yet the ones who got the benefits were those who framed him, framed his son, and killed his other son!
He kept fooling himself. He could persuade himself. However, what it brought to him was the death of his people and the dim future of his group. In the end, nobody would praise or appreciate him. People would only tease him!
"Tell me the truth. A few days ago, Ye Shude went for collecting work, and he was found dead a hundred miles away from our old house. Was it you?" Ye Shuqing sighed.
Ye Nantian just sat still. A wicked smile showed up in his face. "Good guess, father. Not only Ye Shude, but also Ye Piaoliu and Ye Chengdong were all killed by me… Since you started this, let me be frank to you. Since I returned, six Dream Origin Stage members of our clan had accidents and died outside the wild. I did them all! Now I have clearly told you. Do you want to turn against me and tell them what I did?"
Ye Shuqing took in a cold breath.
"But the six of them all died in a look of…" Ye Shuqing was shocked.
"It appeared they were killed by spiritual beasts, right?" Ye Nantian coldly smiled. "It is absolutely a piece of cake for me to make a fake image of it."
"What happened back then?"
"When my brother was killed, those six men were the murderers!" Ye Nantian raised his sharp eyebrows. "Father, you know me. I don't have many strong points, but I have one pretty strong point. I always protect my family. I can risk my life for it! I was, I am, and I will be just the same!"
"Maybe you don't know yet. When your grandson made trouble in the Land of Han-Yang, I threatened the entire world to protect him! I would destroy the world for my son!
"My brother is my beloved family! He was killed! I have to take revenge! I am not powerful enough now, but if I am, I will wipe out their group without hesitation!"
"I don't care if it is righteous or not! Don't tell me your family name theory. It may mean something to you, but for me…" Ye Nantian seemed determined, "I just don't buy it! I only know that nobody can mess with my family! Whoever bullies my family, whoever hurts my family, they will have to pay! Who killed my brother will get his entire family killed by my hand!"
"I don't care about righteousness! I don't care about positions. I don't care what it will bring to me!" He looked into the sky calmly, "This is me, Ye Nantian!"
"Even if I have to carry sins on my shoulders, I will take it, no matter how many sins I have to commit!" He strikingly said, "It is impossible that I can stay low and silent just for the sake of all!"
"Absolutely not!
"I would rather die!"
Ye Shuqing looked stunned. He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad about it.
When he realized Ye Nantian had mostly taken revenge for his younger son, he felt the anger was vented. However, when he realized his older son was so determined about seeking revenge, he felt worried.
"It doesn't really matter much that the others are alive. However, Ye Shuxin and his family are alive. Humph," Ye Nantian murmured.
"Nantian, I understand and respect what you do for our family. But have you ever thought that… if the younger generation becomes useless in the future, what you do will make them a bunch of audacious and irredeemable fools!" Gramp Ye advised him in earnest, "There are many clans in which there are people like you who eventually raised a bunch of overbearing kids. Those kids eventually messed with someone they never should, and their clans were destroyed within one night!"
"Don't think I am not talking nonsense. I have lived dozens more years than you after all. I have heard and seen lots of cases that drew lessons to us."
Ye Nantian humphed and said, "What you said were some stupid people. My son has reached the top of cultivation limit in the Land of Han-Yang in his seventeen. He has ascended to Qing-Yun Realm on his own! Such power, talent, and effort, he is incomparable to the youngsters in Qing-Yun Realm!"
"You… You…" Gramp Ye was too angry to say anything.
Ye Nantian was obviously bias and sophistical. He was totally unreasonable. However, what he said about Ye Xiao was true. Gramp Ye honestly couldn't say anything to argue. His son was indeed overbearing, but what could he say?
"Let me be honest with you. This arena which is at such a low level is stupid. If your grandson is here, he will sweep every rival on the stage!" Ye Nantian proudly said, "I am not underestimating or looking down upon those young lads from these clans. Compared to Xiao Xiao… Hmm… These young men are like glowworms, and my son is like a full moon! Oh, that would be overestimating them. Anyways, they are not even close to my son…"
