The next morning, in the Ye Family's main hall!
Three people sat on the platform: two elders of the Ye Family and Ye Qiang!
Disciples of the Ye Family stood on either side below the platform, the atmosphere somewhat tense.
"The Family Head is dead, and the Ye Family cannot go a day without a leader. Today, I am here for two main matters."
An elder in black rose from the main seat, standing with his hands behind his back, his gaze slightly imposing.
This elder was named Ye Shanhe, the Second Elder of the Ye Family, the uncle of the former Family Head, and the biological father of Ye Qiang!
He was at the Qi Condensation Realm Initial Stage, often in secluded cultivation, rarely emerging unless something significant happened within the clan.
"The first matter is regarding the election of the new Family Head. I believe you all have suitable candidates in mind. Everyone, feel free to speak your minds now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately stood up below, cupping his hands and saying, "Our Ye Family is not populous, and with the Family Head dead, naturally, Second Master Ye Qiang should assume the position."
After speaking, this person glanced at Ye Shanhe with a sly look, clearly having pre-arranged this statement.
Ye Shanhe's lips curled slightly upon hearing this, stroking his beard with a satisfied smile, while Ye Qiang's smile grew even broader.
At this moment, someone else spoke up, "For a hundred years, our Ye Family has respected the strong. The position of Family Head should be held by the strongest in our family, but Second Master Ye is only at the Body Tempering Realm 9th Level. How can he shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Ye Family?"
"Yes, yes, Second Master Ye's cultivation is too weak. If he becomes the Family Head, which of the major families in Liuyun City would still respect our Ye Family?" The crowd below began to discuss.
Hearing this, Ye Qiang's expression instantly darkened.
Another voice said, "In the past, both the Family Head and his wife were at the Qi Condensation Realm Mid Stage. With the Family Head dead, the position should be inherited by his wife, not Second Master Ye!"
"Yes, yes..." The crowd below once again erupted in discussion.
Upon hearing this, Ye Shanhe's face turned ashen, his eyes flashing with cold light. He snorted coldly, "Nonsense!"
"Since ancient times, when has a woman ever led a family? Moreover, that Liu's cultivation has already fallen to the Body Tempering Realm. What qualifications does she have to assume the position of Family Head of our Ye Family?"
"The Family Head is dead, and the strongest in the Ye Family is me. I also believe that the position of Family Head should be handed to my son, Ye Qiang." Ye Shanhe sneered.
"This... this doesn't seem right?" Many showed conflicted expressions.
"What? What's not right? If you think it's not right, why not come to the Rear Mountain and discuss it privately with me?" Find the original chapter at g.com.
Ye Shanhe's gaze sharpened, sweeping across the room, releasing the pressure of the Qi Condensation Realm Initial Stage!
Everyone felt a chill in the air, lowering their heads, not daring to speak further, clearly intimidated.
"This old man intends to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, using force to seize the position of Family Head of the Ye Family?"
Suddenly, a sweet voice echoed in Ye Tianci's mind.
"Sister Yue?"
Ye Tianci stood in an inconspicuous corner of the Ye Family's main hall. Hearing the voice in his mind, he was momentarily stunned.
Yue Ji laughed, "That's right, it's Sister. Little Tianci, aren't you going to go up and teach this old man a lesson?"
"Me?"
Ye Tianci frowned slightly, "That Second Elder is at the Qi Condensation Realm Initial Stage. I've just opened my meridians; I can't beat him, can I?"
"Heh~" Yue Ji chuckled lightly, "So what if he's at Qi Condensation? His Qi Condensation is weak, with empty cultivation and no real substance. With your current cultivation, you can easily defeat him!"
"Really?" A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Tianci's eyes, "Turns out I'm this strong."
"Of course." Yue Ji continued, "Yesterday, when you regained your senses, you killed a Consecrator at the Meridian Opening Realm Initial Stage without any cultivation!"
"Thank you for the guidance, Sister Yue!"
As soon as the words fell, Ye Tianci clenched his fists, eager to try, making a series of cracking sounds.
Yue Ji continued, "But there's no rush. Let's see what tricks this old man has up his sleeve before you make your move to teach him a lesson!"
"Understood." Ye Tianci's lips curled into a slight smile.
On the platform, Ye Shanhe sneered, "Since no one has any objections, I announce that my son, Ye Qiang, will assume the position of Family Head!"
After saying this, although there were some dissatisfied murmurs below, no one dared to voice opposition due to Ye Shanhe's strength.
Ye Qiang was overjoyed, standing up with a pretentious air, politely saying, "Thank you all for your support. In the future, if there are any oversights, I hope you will bear with me."
Ye Shanhe continued, "The second matter concerns the Cai Family!"
"The grievances between our Ye Family and the Cai Family are well known to you all."
"If we do not agree to the Cai Family's demands, the Ye and Cai families will go to war. The Cai Family Head recently broke through to the Qi Condensation Mid Stage. If war breaks out, our Ye Family will undoubtedly be at a greater disadvantage!"
"Now, the Cai Family has given us a condition for reconciliation. As long as the Ye Family agrees to send that Liu into the Cai Family, the conflicts between the Ye and Cai families can be written off!"
"Does anyone have any objections?" Ye Shanhe glanced around, speaking calmly.
"We have no objections, just following the Second Elder's instructions!" Immediately, a sycophant stood up to flatter.
Having learned from the earlier example, although the rest felt humiliated, no one dared to stand up for Liu Feiyan.
Ye Qiang rose and said, "Where is that Liu now? Capture her and send her to the Cai Family immediately!"
"Yes, Family Head!"
The lackeys of Ye Qiang's faction immediately accepted the order.
"Hmph, they're still targeting Shiniang."
Ye Tianci snorted coldly, clenching his fists tighter, stepping forward to give Ye Qiang and his father a piece of his mind!
But suddenly, at this moment, a crisp and pleasant voice rang out!
"Did you get my consent before making the decision to send me to the Cai Family's den?"
As the words fell, a graceful figure walked onto the high platform.
A purple dress wrapped around her enchanting figure, revealing snow-white slender arms and sexy long legs. Her delicate face wore a cold expression, making people instinctively wary.
"Madam?!"
Seeing the newcomer, the Ye Family members below all changed their expressions, standing up one by one.
"Shiniang?" Ye Tianci was momentarily stunned. Shiniang was absolutely stunning today, exuding an extraordinary aura.
"Liu Feiyan, you came just in time, saving me the trouble of looking for you!"
Seeing Liu Feiyan's arrival, Second Elder Ye Shanhe sneered, then waved his hand, ordering his men, "Seize her!"
"Yes!"
As soon as the words fell, several figures swiftly rushed towards Liu Feiyan!
But Liu Feiyan smiled confidently, waving her sleeve, and instantly a fierce gust of wind swept out. Those figures screamed as they were sent flying, crashing to the ground, spitting blood, unable to move!
