Chapter Seven: Deception Beyond Endurance

  "Haha, Yelin, don't be arrogant. I heard that this afternoon, Master Shangguan will bring Shangguan Wanyu to our Ye family."

  He smiled strangely and asked: "Do you know what the master of the Shangguan family brought Shangguan Wan'er to our Ye family for?"

  "Heh heh, not bad, it's indeed a marriage proposal, but the one I'm proposing to isn't you, it's me, Ye Zhen."

  Yè Zhēn burst out laughing loudly at this point, and the people he brought with him also followed suit, bursting into loud laughter.

  "Haha......"

  "Not bad, haha, you piece of trash, a lazy toad like you also wants to eat swan meat, it's really laughable."

  "Yes, a beauty like Miss Shangguan Wanyu can only be matched with someone like Ye Zhen, not a waste like you."

  "Look, you don't even look in the mirror, with that dog-like appearance of yours, are you worthy of Miss Guan Yu'er? Now it's good, Miss Guan Yu'er has finally seen through your dog-like appearance, this afternoon she will come and at that time, she will definitely propose to cancel the engagement. I don't know if a certain lazy frog will be so shocked at that time that he'll want to jump off a cliff!"

  Originally, seeing Ye Lin actually defeat Ye Zhen and others, everyone was stunned.

  But as soon as Ye Zhen mentioned that Shang Guan Wan'er would be coming this afternoon, they all burst out laughing.

  Yes, even if he defeats Ye Zhen today, can he still defeat him in the future?

  Six years have passed, and he is still only at the first heavy sky skin tempering boundary. Three months later, the clan gathering will begin, and if he doesn't reach the second heavy sky tendon tempering copper tendon boundary by then, he will be expelled from the family and sent to do odd jobs in the family's business.

  At that time, he was just a miscellaneous person who could no longer obtain the family's resources. His strength would be difficult to improve and would forever be a waste? But Ye Zhen Shixiong was different, he had already broken through to the second layer of Tianjin Copper Muscle Realm and would soon break through to the third layer of Tianlian Lian Bone Realm, and could continue to cultivate within the family. The gap between them would only be far apart.

  There are still three months left.

  But is this possible? He used to take spiritual medicine every day and couldn't break through in six years, now there are only three months left, can he still break through?

  They all burst out laughing along with Ye Mu in order to curry favor with Ye Zhen.

  "How dare you!!"

  Watching these guys getting more and more out of line, Xing Tian could no longer bear it, let out a loud roar, his body flashed, and he appeared beside Ye Zhen, grabbing him with one hand and lifting him up.

  "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

  Suddenly, an unexpected change left everyone stunned and some at a loss for what to do.

  Ye Zhen and these people, as Ye Lin's opponents, would certainly be no strangers to Xing Tian's existence.

  However, they had always known that this was brought back by Ye Lin's father, Ye Yunfei, from the great sea and had been with Ye Lin all along. They didn't know at all that this guy was also cultivating, and his strength was actually so strong. Ye Zhen didn't even have a chance to fight back in front of him.

  Good heavens! Who is he after all? How can he possess such immense power?!

  At this time, including Ye Zhen, everyone was silent.

  I was completely stunned by this sudden change.

  A useless young master like him, isn't he just a waste of space? How can someone like that still exist?

  "Xing Tian, let him go, they want to say, they will say it themselves, we just need to take care of our own steps."

  If it were in the past, Ye Lin would have been furious upon hearing such insulting words for the first time.

  However, he is after all a person from the 21st century, and in this emotional dye vat of the 21st century, he has long since cultivated an ordinary heart.

  In the 21st century of past lives, those men and women, who wasn't saying "I love you" today and then flirting with others tomorrow?

  After hearing it at the beginning, he had already calmed down after beating Ye Mu and others violently, and even returned to the place where he practiced boxing every day, punching a round of boxing.

  Of course, calmness does not mean forgetting. The three great hatreds of life: losing one's wife, killing one's child, and exterminating one's relatives are the greatest hatreds in life. Even if there is a deep chasm ahead, this enmity and hatred must be avenged.

  A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, and when taking revenge, it's not necessarily at once.

  Ye Lin looked at Ye Zhen, a flash of killing intent in his eyes, and said: "Ye Zhen, our dispute is an internal struggle within the Ye family. I hope you won't bring this conflict to the outside world, or else... humph!"

  Although nothing was said, Ye Zhen still felt a great killing intent in this cold "hmm", as if suddenly, there was a devil grabbing his throat, making Ye Zhen unable to speak.

  "What if not?"

  Ye Zhen didn't say a word, but suddenly, from outside the courtyard, a voice came through.

  Ding ding...

  From outside the courtyard, a group of people came, led by a middle-aged man, wearing a large purple robe, with a broad face and high forehead, a precious look.

  "Second Elder!"

  Ye Mu and others saw this person, each busy saluting, not daring to breathe loudly.

  This person is the second elder of the Ye family and also the father of Ye Zhen, Ye Zhong.

  Ye Chong was also a genius figure, and in his early years, he was known as one of the "Ye Family's Twin Heroes" along with Ye Lin's father, Ye Yunfei.

  However, the two have been fighting continuously due to the struggle for resources. Although Ye Chong is a talented and beautiful person, he is still inferior to Ye Yunfei in the end, and has always been suppressed by Ye Yunfei until after Ye Yunfei's disappearance, he can finally hold his head up high.

  It can be said that the struggle between Ye Lin and Ye Zhen also originated from this place.

  Originally, Ye Lin was a waste, with only Red Blood as his innate talent. However, among the two sons of Ye, the elder son had Purple Blood, making him a rare genius that appears once in ten thousand years.

  However, Ye Chong was also a proud and arrogant person. He didn't allow his eldest son Ye Fan to participate in this struggle at all, but instead let his younger son with only orange blood talent fight endlessly with Ye Lin.

  Normally, Ye Chong was the second elder of the Ye family, with a high position and great power, and would never come to this place, but today was an exception.

  "Still not letting go?"

  Ye Chong saw Xing Tian still holding onto Ye Zhen and didn't let go, instantly becoming furious.

  Ye Chong is a proud and arrogant person who attaches great importance to his reputation. Today, he brought the master of the Shangguan family and their daughter to meet with Ye Lin in order to cancel their engagement as promised by the Shangguan family.

  But unexpectedly, he saw his own youngest son, who was about to be engaged to the daughter of the Shangguan family, being caught by a servant, which made him so angry?

  Moreover, what's even more deadly is that they also brought along the master of the Shangguan family and Shangguan Wan'er, as well as some powerful figures from the Ye family.

  It's all out in the open now, everything has been seen by others.

  If it were Ye Lin, then so be it. After all, he is still the eldest grandson of the Ye family clan leader. It's just a fight between younger generations, and it won't hurt anyone's reputation.

  But who is Xing Tian?

  That was a subordinate of Ye Lin's, and as Ye Zhen was of the same generation as Ye Lin, he was Young Master.

  Nowadays, a low-ranking officer dares to lay hands on Young Master Ye Zhen, isn't that just asking for trouble?

  This made Ye Chong, who had always been proud and serious, how could he not be angry?

  Bang!!

  Seeing himself speaking, Xing Tian didn't immediately release the person, and instead looked at Ye Lin, as if to say that if Ye Lin didn't allow it, he wouldn't release him. This made him furious, and with a swift palm strike, using the "隔山打牛" (Mountain- Separating Cow-Striking) technique, he struck Xing Tian from afar, over Ye Zhen's head.

  "Yelin, is this how you indulge your subordinates?"

  Ye Chong, as the second elder, didn't bother to argue with Xing Tian either. Instead, he cast his gaze at Ye Lin and asked in an angry tone.

  "Hum, Ye Zhen came to my courtyard and made a big fuss, why didn't the Second Elder say anything?"

  Ye Lin is no ordinary person, he was a great master of Tai Chi in his past life, what kind of situation has he not seen?

  Facing Ye Chong's questioning, he just coldly replied with a single sentence and countered back.

  He didn't care about those who came in either and immediately went to Xing Tian's side as he flew backwards.

  "Too much deception!"

  Arriving at Xingtian's side, he saw that his breath was weak and a large patch of fresh blood had been spat out onto the ground, instantly enraging him.

  He was a Tai Chi master in his past life, respected by the world. Although this life, due to his weak innate bloodline, he is often looked down upon by others, but as the eldest grandson of the clan leader, how can he not be angry when someone dares to hurt him in front of him?

  Moreover, Xing Tian had been by his side since childhood, and the two were closer than biological brothers. Now, he was almost beaten to death by Ye Chong. How could Ye Lin tolerate this with his previous life's temperament as a great ancestor?

  "Alright, let's deal with the Ye family matters later! We're here today to cancel the engagement between Shangguan Wan'er and Ye Lin. The main issue is urgent."

  Just as Ye Lin was about to erupt, a figure emerged from behind Ye Chong.

  Ye Lin remembered that he had seen this person when he was young, and it was Shangguan Hongfei who came to his house to ask for a marriage alliance when his father was still alive.

  "Hmm, you just wait."

  At this time, Xing Tian's injuries were too severe, and Ye Lin didn't have the mood to bother with these guys. He directly tore off a piece of his sleeve, took out a short knife from his left hand, and made a cut on the index finger of his right hand, causing a trail of blood to flow out.

  Ye Lin didn't even look at those guys, using his blood-stained fingers to heavily write two big characters on the sleeve cloth.

  "Strike!!"

  She immediately threw the handkerchief in front of Shangguan Hongfei and said coldly, "Shangguan Hongfei, remember that it was you who brought Shangguan Wanyu to my Ye family, not me, Ye Lin, going to your Shangguan family to propose marriage. Today, you come here to humiliate me in public and want to cancel the engagement, you are too presumptuous!"

  "Shangguan Hongfei, I'm reminding you, the heavens are constantly in motion. Thirty years on the east bank of the river, thirty years on the west bank of the river - no one can predict how Ye Lin's future will turn out!"

  "But today's events will surely be rewarded handsomely by Ye Lin in the future!"

  "From now on, all of you get out of my yard."

  First, he went in to cultivate, but halfway through, he heard some fellow disciples insulting his father. Then, Ye Zhen came to humiliate him, and now Ye Zhong, as the second elder of the family, actually brought people from the Shangguan family to the door of his own courtyard, demanding that the marriage be annulled.

  Is this for real?

  In my past life, I was a master of Tai Chi. In this life, due to my young age and innate identity, I had no choice but to show weakness. Who would have thought that I would be deceived right in front of my own door?

  Hmph, since it's come to this, why should I still hold back?

  At this moment, the great master of Tai Chi from his past life came back and revealed his ferocious side.
