Chapter 599: Backer
"May I go with you to meet this senior?" Ye Qingwu asked expectantly.
“Of course.” Lü Liang nodded.
"That's great! I'll ask my grandma to prepare some gifts for me tomorrow. We can't let the Ye family lose face."
It is an honor for martial artists to meet such a great senior.
Ye Qingwu had too many questions and needed guidance from a peerless expert.
"By the way," Lü Liang suddenly asked, "who was it that made Junior Sister so angry just now? Senior Brother will teach him a lesson for you."
Before Ye Qingwu could speak, Ye Feiyu hurriedly interjected, "It's Ye Feng! That guy is arrogant and domineering. Not only did he frame an innocent person, but he also injured someone in public. What's most infuriating is that he married a witch. After that witch was arrested and taken to the Ministry of Justice, Ye Feng forcibly broke her out of prison. He's utterly lawless!"
"There are still such arrogant people?" Lü Liang asked in surprise.
"Absolutely true!"
Ye Feiyu continued, "Moreover, that witch's entire family is involved in crooked practices. I heard from the servants that they all transformed into beasts just now, turning into man-eating monsters, and almost ate several maids."
"what?"
Lü Liang gripped his sword tightly, almost drawing it.
Transforming into a man-eating beast—this is the most sinister and evil form of cultivation.
"Such evil and heretical practices must not be allowed to remain; they must be eradicated!" Lü Liang said angrily.
"Alas! Senior Brother, you are unaware of this."
Ye Feiyu said helplessly, "To be honest, Ye Feng is the eldest grandson of my Ye family, the son of Ye Wudi! Moreover, my grandparents dote on him. They even plan to make him the future head of the family. How could we dare to offend his wife's family!"
Ye Wudi!
Upon hearing this name, Lü Liang immediately became furious.
Back then, Ye Wudi's massacre of tens of thousands of compatriots caused a huge uproar, even alarming the hidden sects. Tianjian Mountain also sent people to help kill Ye Wudi.
Therefore, Lü Liang naturally knew this.
"Like father, like son. Such a villain should be eradicated. He should never have been allowed to grow up."
After saying that, he solemnly said, "Rest assured, although my Heavenly Sword Mountain is a secluded place for cultivation, it is still a part of the Great Xia. We will never allow such a sinner to wreak havoc on the Great Xia, nor will we allow him to bully you."
Hearing him say that, Ye Feiyu was filled with excitement.
With Tianjian Mountain as his backing, why would he need to fear Ye Feng?
"Thank you, Senior Brother!" Ye Feiyu addressed him in the same way as his sister.
"You're welcome. It is the duty of righteous people like us to eliminate evil and protect the righteous path. Even if it weren't for you, I would still eradicate such wicked creatures for the sake of the world." Lü Liang said righteously.
Ye Qingwu frowned.
"But my grandparents dote on him so much, it would be a real problem if he got into a conflict with them." She didn't want to involve her grandparents.
If a conflict were to break out between the Ye family and Tianjian Mountain, she would be a sinner against the Ye family.
Her grandparents had been so good to her, and she didn't want them to cause her any trouble.
"Don't worry, we at Tianjian Mountain are the most reasonable. As long as Ye Feng is willing to admit his mistake and divorce that witch, I won't make things difficult for him," Lü Liang said.
Ye Qingwu pouted.
Ye Feng is more stubborn than a donkey. Getting him to admit his mistakes is already incredibly difficult, let alone divorce that witch. That's practically impossible.
"Forget it, I've already promised my mother I wouldn't hold it against him anymore, let's just let it go." Ye Qingwu didn't want to put her grandparents in a difficult position, and she didn't want her mother to worry.
“Since Junior Sister says so, I will report this to the Sect Master before making a decision. Right now, the most urgent task is to complete the Sect Master’s mission,” Lü Liang said.
"Well, it's getting late, you should get some rest."
Ye Qingwu and Dong Wanning personally saw them off at the door.
"No need to see you off, you should all get some rest too."
Lü Liang waved and left.
After he left, Ye Feiyu became increasingly resentful. "Sister, it's rare that your senior brother is willing to help us, so why are you still afraid of Ye Feng? Don't you want to avenge Father?"
"I!"
Ye Qingwu was speechless.
How could she not want to? But she had promised her mother.
Dong Wanning slapped Ye Feiyu on the forehead. "If you bring this up again, don't call me 'Mom' anymore. We're just a widow and her son, it's already a miracle we can survive in the Ye family. You still want revenge?"
"Mom!" Ye Feiyu stomped his foot angrily.
"Stop talking. You should practice martial arts more when you have time. Your grandfather was already a grandmaster when he was your age. You can't even get into the Martial Master realm. What are you going to do to fight him?"
Dong Wanning rolled her eyes and went into the room.
Ye Feiyu was filled with hatred and anger, but there was nothing he could do!
……
It's getting late.
After leaving the Imperial Study, Ye Feng went straight to the Old Madam's residence.
As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Grandma, Grandma!"
The old lady rushed into the hall and, seeing Ye Feng so agitated, hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Did you have a fight with your grandfather?"
Ye Feng didn't reply, but asked directly, "Where's Yiyi? I handed Yiyi over to you, where did you take her?"
Upon hearing this, the old lady frowned slightly.
He paused for a moment before saying, "Don't worry, Yiyi is being taken care of by the imperial physician, she's perfectly safe."
"Safety? Didn't you see the beast-like appearance of the Tang family members? Yiyi is also under a curse; every minute longer would be dangerous!" Ye Feng said angrily.
After saying that, he asked again, "Where is she? Why won't you let me see her?"
The old lady was in a very difficult position.
Imprisoning Tang Yiyi was Ye Huang's order, and she dared not disobey it.
"Xiaofeng, don't worry. I brought Yiyi back, and Grandma will definitely give you an explanation. But it's too late now. How about we wait until tomorrow? I'll go to your grandfather tomorrow to ask for her back." That was all the old lady could say.
"Impossible, I can't wait."
Ye Feng increasingly felt that Yi Yi was being bullied; otherwise, his grandmother wouldn't have prevented him from seeing her.
The old lady said helplessly, "Grandma promises you, if anything happens to Yiyi, I'll give my life for her. Is that alright?"
After saying that, she looked at Ye Feng with pleading eyes.
Ye Feng had never seen his grandmother so troubled. He was certain that it must have been his grandfather who gave the order. His grandmother didn't want any conflict between him and his grandfather, which was why she was caught in the middle.
"Fine, I'll give you time. I need to see him first thing tomorrow morning, or don't blame me for turning the Ye family upside down."
For now, we can only trust Grandma.
Otherwise, if things get out of hand, he might not be able to find Yiyi.
But if Grandma can't do anything about it, he wouldn't mind causing chaos in the Ye family.
"Alright, alright, Grandma promises you. No matter what, I will make your grandfather hand over Tang Yiyi tomorrow. You've had a long day, so get some rest," the old lady comforted her.
"Okay, I hope you're not lying to me."
Ye Feng didn't want to make things too big.
Given Yiyi's physical condition, she should be able to hold on for a while longer. He doesn't want to fall out with the Ye family until the very last moment.
"Have you eaten yet? Grandma will have someone prepare something for you to eat," the old lady asked.
"No need, I'm not starving."
After Ye Feng finished speaking, he turned and left.
Watching Ye Feng's angry back, the old lady shook her head helplessly. This temper was really just like her father's back then.
I wonder what Xiaofeng's future holds!
She was terrified that Ye Feng's personality would bring him disaster and cause him to follow in his father's footsteps.
