Chapter 1: Ye Fan's Decision to Punish Tian

  "Father, who is that kid in Ye Lin's courtyard? How can his strength be so powerful?"

  After sending off Shangguan Hongfei and Shangguan Wanyu, Ye Zhen couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart anymore and asked Ye Chong.

  "Xing Tian!"

  Ye's eyebrows were heavily furrowed and his head didn't turn back as he replied.

  "Father." Ye Zhen still had a question in her mind and wanted to ask for clarification.

  However, Ye Chong's sharp gaze swept over and said in a low voice: "You need to know that you are first a member of the Ye family, and then you can compete with Ye Lin for resources. Remember?"

  As for Ye Zhen, how could Ye Zhong, as his father, not know what he was thinking in his heart?

  However, the reason why the Ye family has dominated this area of Yunshui City for so many years is mainly due to its educational approach. Everything prioritizes the interests of the family, and family members can fight each other, practicing the law of the jungle, but they must not take lives.

  Family members can fight and even plunder each other's resources, but they must never bear a grudge.

  All these years, due to Ye Yunfei's disappearance, Ye Zhong must have hoped that his youngest son could compete with Ye Lin for a long time.

  But he absolutely did not allow his eldest son to take action, for what?

  Because it has already exceeded the scope allowed by the Ye family's rules.

  These years, although Ye Lin has been treated unfairly, when Ye Lin's strength surpassed that of Ye Zhen, he absolutely did not go all out to kill him. Even the Upper Official's family had already spread the word that they wanted to dissolve their engagement with Ye Lin and instead form an alliance with Ye Zhen through marriage. However, in the end, when Ye Lin and Ye Zhen clashed, they never truly went for a killing blow.

  Even this hatred, Ye Lin had never held it against Ye Zhen's head, but instead directly held it against Shang Guan's head.

  The Ye family motto: If a family member has no great hatred, they will be defeated; next time, just fight again.

  "Father, it seems that Yunshui City has been too peaceful for too long. Some people can't wait to take action."

  A soft voice came from the inner courtyard, accompanied by a young man who looked nine out of ten similar to Ye Zhen. Judging from his age, he was not very old, only about fifteen or sixteen years old, but from his head, a momentum that pierced the sky was emitted, like a red sun slowly rising into the air.

  "Big brother."

  When Ye Zhen saw this young man, he was very respectful.

  Not bad, this young man is the pride of the Ye family, the twin brother of Ye Zhen, a once-in-a-lifetime genius disciple who is rarely seen in the world, Ye Fan.

  "Fan Er, you're here."

  Ye Chong looked at his eldest son with a proud face, and thought to himself: "Ye Yunfei, you were outstanding in your youth, surpassing me in every way. But your son compared to mine is far inferior."

  Indeed, Ye Fan, the Ye family's genius disciple who is hard to come by in a thousand years, has a dark purple blood talent, and with just a little more effort, he can reach the bronze blood level.

  On this vast land, the bronze blood is the divine blood. Those who possess the bronze blood talent are also known as the children of God.

  It means that bronze blood can only be possessed by gods, and those who possess the talent of bronze blood are destined to become god-like existences.

  However, on this vast land, a truly divine being has not appeared for tens of thousands of billions of years. Therefore, Ye Fan, who possesses the Dark Purple Bloodline talent, is called the closest to a divine being, an Emperor's Son, and absolutely possesses the extraordinary talent to become a world-renowned Great Emperor.

  Not bad, a character of Ye Fan's level has emerged, and it is absolutely the pride of the entire Ye family.

  But it is also because of his existence that many people are wary, and even go so far as to take action, breaking the already established balance, in order to strangle him before he can grow up.

  And this time, the Shangguan family's withdrawal from the marriage contract is just the beginning.

  But it was also obvious that it had already caught Ye Fan's attention.

  "Yes, Father."

  Although Ye Fan has the talent to become a great emperor, his family's education has given him good manners, at least he is very respectful to his father.

  "Brother, Father is right. Our Ye family is a whole, we can argue and fight with each other, but you absolutely cannot harbor resentment in your heart."

  After bowing to Ye Chong, Ye Fan turned around and seriously educated his younger brother.

  "Yes, big brother."

  Although Ye Fan was only three hours older than Ye Zhen, Ye Zhen was extremely respectful to the former, even more so than to Ye Chong.

  "Fan Er, tell me, what's your opinion on this matter?"

  Ye Chong is now in charge of the Ye family, but he knows that his son is too cunning and can see through everything more clearly than himself.

  Ye Fan's slender and beautiful index finger lightly swept across the tip of her own nose, a faint smile on her face. "It's very obvious that the Shangguan family has already made their move."

  "Oh, how did you figure it out?"

  Ye Chong was very satisfied with Ye Fan's insight.

  However, he still wanted to hear his son's opinion, because he knew that his son was very cunning and had his own unique perspective on even the smallest events.

  At the same time, he also knew that for his son's education, he absolutely could not relax or slack off. Otherwise, a rare talent would be easily destroyed, and even the entire Ye family would be ruined.

  "The Shangguan family wants to form an alliance with my Ye family, whether it's Yelin or Yezhen. The purpose of the Shangguan family has already been achieved, there is no need to go back and forth again. First, they should annul the engagement with Yelin, then form an alliance with Yezhen."

  "Oh, and by the way, why did they want to do this?"

  Ye Chong lightly took a sip of tea and smiled faintly.

  "They want to alienate us from our family ties, create conflicts between us and the clan leaders, make this branch of ours fight with the main lineage, and ultimately let the family break apart from within to achieve their ulterior motives."

  "Hmm!"

  The smile on his face grew even more intense.

  However, Ye Zhenke was stunned by what he heard. He had never thought that such a simple matter would be seen as having such a huge conspiracy in the eyes of his brother.

  "Isn't it, big brother, why are they doing this?!"

  This was the first time Ye Zhen had questioned his brother's judgment, and he really couldn't think that the actions of the Shangguan family this time were actually a huge conspiracy.

  "Haha, little brother, you asked a great question, why did he want to do this?"

  Ye Fan smiled lightly and said, "Because our Ye family has far surpassed the other three families in strength after the previous generation's Ye Yunfei Master Uncle. After Ye Yunfei Master Uncle disappeared, they thought that the glory of my Ye family had become a thing of the past. However, they absolutely did not expect that after Ye Yunfei Master Uncle disappeared, another brother like me would appear, an absolute great demon with imperial blood."

  "Ah!"

  All along, Ye Zhen has been entangled in a struggle with Ye Lin within the family, who would have thought that outside of it, there is such a huge conspiracy waiting?!

  "Not bad, this is indeed a conspiracy. He wants to marry into the Ye family through his official connections, which would have the same effect as marrying into the Lin family. After all, Ye Lin is the eldest grandson of the clan head, and although he's not particularly talented, he's still valuable. If they really want to force another marriage, the Ye family has daughters too, there's no need to humiliate Ye Lin by forcing him to annul his engagement. And it's even more unnecessary to marry you, a weak-blooded little boy, when they should be marrying your older brother instead."

  However, Officer Guo's family has done both of these things, and their intentions are sinister and must be guarded against.

  Looking at Ye Zhen still with a puzzled expression, Ye Chong's expression was solemn and he said.

  Indeed, the Shangguan family has no other sons, but they have many daughters. Among the four great beauties of Yunshui City, three are from their family. To form an alliance through marriage, it's completely unnecessary to force Ye Lin and offend the head of the Ye family.

  "Are you still going to beat up Xing Tian's son?"

  Suddenly, Ye Zhen's face changed and he shouted loudly.

  After all, as a member of a noble family, Ye Lin's way of thinking is quick to change. If his father really did injure Xing Tian, wouldn't he directly resent his father?

  "Don't worry, Father was just putting on an act. Xing Tian is Ye Lin's brother and all the cultivation resources Ye Lin has been taking from the family over the years have been used on him. How could Father really hurt him?"

  At this point, Ye Chong's face became even more solemn and he said: "Moreover, Xing Tian is absolutely a freak. When I hit him with that palm, at first, I only used one-tenth of my strength, but he didn't react at all. In the end, I had to use ten times my strength to knock him flying."

  ？？？

  Ye Zhen's face was dull, what's going on? Father wants to knock that kid flying, and he's actually going to use his full strength?

  It's always calm and peaceful Yefan, this time, is truly moved: even his father has to use all his strength, that's really a freak!

  "Alright, Fan Er, look, are the other two major families making a move?"

  Xing Tian is Ye Lin's brother. No matter how strong he is, for the Ye family, it is absolutely a good thing and there is no downside at all.

  However, the conspiracy of the three major families in Yunshui City against the Ye family would not allow Ye Chong to take it lightly.

  "Judging from the current situation, this is one hundred percent true. Otherwise, how would the Above Officer's family dare to make such calculations against my Ye family?"

  Indeed, the Ye family has become the absolute number one in Yunshui City through the previous generation of Ye Yunfei, and a single Shangguan family is not even its match.

  Indeed, after Shangguan Hongfei brought back Shangguan Juyan to the family, he came to his own study.

  In his study, there were already two people waiting. If Ye Chong was here, he would definitely be able to tell that one of them was the master of the Nangong family, one of the four major families, and the other was a member of the Ximen family, also one of the four major families.

  Afterwards, the three of them had a secret conversation that lasted throughout the night. Only after that did they quietly leave through the hidden passage.

  Just then, when the wind and clouds were gathering outside, Ye Lin's courtyard was filled with anxiety as he held Xing Tian.

  No matter what method Ye Lin used, Xing Tian was always as weak as a thread, as if he would die at any moment.

  "Brother, don't die, otherwise I will definitely kill Ye Zhong."

  Ye Lin is really at a loss now, and even his usual calmness is gone.

  "Hmm?"

  Suddenly, Xing Tian let out a faint cold hum from his nostrils.

  Immediately, a stream of dark red blood flowed out from Xing Tian's mouth.

  "Xing Tian!"

  Ye Lin was shocked, his eyes were completely red.

  However, soon after, a look of excitement appeared on his face.

  "Xing Tian, have you woken up?"

  Seeing Xing Tian open his eyes, Ye Lin suddenly let out a breath of relief.

  "Yes, I'm awake."

  Xing Tian woke up and everything returned to normal. He woke up from Ye Lin's arms and said, "I think Ye Erlang didn't plan to hurt me either, he just temporarily sealed my breath inside my body and pretended to be seriously injured?"

  Ye Lin's face suddenly froze at the sound.

  What's going on? Are you acting?

  Ye Lin came from the 20th century. In that era, personal martial arts were not outstanding, but personal IQ was already absolutely considered the best in the universe. A person could explore the mysteries of space-time with just a few decades of life, which is how great!

  "Alright, I think the Ye family might be in trouble now, you must make your own strength stronger."

  "Me?"

  Ye Lin's face fell as soon as he heard about his strength.

  "Come with me, I'll take you to meet my master."
