Chapter 263: The Disaster Water Enters the Home
Not long after, the supreme Ye Duting from the Ye Family arrived like a whirlwind, looking at Ye Changzui, wanting to say something but hesitating.
"Speak," Ye Changzui said.
"They're not one of us!" Ye Duting's face showed a hint of bitterness, "I went back to take a look; everyone is safe and sound. Except for Ye Kong and Ye Yun… everyone is here."
The crowd fell silent.
Ling Yuanshan sighed and said, "Brother Ye, this is a huge conspiracy... and we have already fallen into it. Although the hidden enemy's identity is unknown, at least for now, their target is already set on us."
Ye Changzui frowned and nodded seriously.
"This provocation cost the enemy a master’s life, almost as if they committed suicide, delivering their life into my hands." Ling Yuanshan looked at Ye Changzui with a scrutinizing gaze, "Who in the world, besides the nine great clans, could have such death warriors?"
Ye Changzui's face darkened further; he swallowed and said, "What does Brother Ling mean?"
Ling Yuanshan smiled lightly, "The reason this happened is simply because the enemy wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman… therefore, their goal must be that so-called… Holy Clan Elder! Only if our two families suffer mutual destruction can they profit… Brother Ye, what do you think… is that not true?"
When he mentioned 'Holy Clan Elder', his voice paused for a moment.
He hadn’t wanted to pause, but once the words were on his lips, it was involuntary to stop.
Hearing Ling Yuanshan say 'Holy Clan Elder', Ye Changzui felt a surge of unease and discomfort in his heart... Clearly, this has nothing to do with your Ling Family. What are you doing? You actually emphasized it... Damn!
With a raised brow and a somewhat cold voice, he asked, "What does Brother Ling mean?"
"I dare to ask Brother Ye to be frank with me!" Ling Yuanshan sneered, "Our Ling Family cannot be a pawn for others!"
Ye Changzui pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Initially, the two families sent fighters together, paying a huge price to capture that Holy Clan's Third Elder! These two families are the Zhuge Family and the Lan Family!"
"The Lan Family?!" Ling Yuanshan's pupils shrank.
"This matter is highly confidential, and currently, the only ones who know about it are our four families. Our Ye Family only recently received a mysterious letter, which is how we learned of this."
Ye Changzui looked intensely at Ling Yuanshan, "I won’t say more. Brother Ling, we are both from noble families with a thousand-year legacy; we must act cautiously."
Ling Yuanshan replied lightly, "How to act, our Ling Family will decide for ourselves. But we cannot suffer this loss in vain!"
Ye Changzui was furious!
You say you suffered a loss? I didn’t see how you suffered! Our Ye Family has lost two people, while not a single hair from you has fallen, yet you somehow learned of such a heavy bombshell... and you dare to say you suffered a loss...
You just want a share of the pie.
Want to play the harlot but not have the signboard up; wanting to gain advantages yet pretentiously act like you’ve suffered great grievances... I despise this!
Both parties harbored their own schemes and left.
No one noticed that a white shadow flashed by on a nearby big tree...
...
Chu Yang had already gotten up and was holding Chu Le'er down while washing her hair. Although the little girl could take care of herself, the weather had turned cold, and her long hair would get her clothes wet every time she washed it; if she caught a cold, it would be troublesome.
The little girl currently had no cultivation level, and being sick was certainly uncomfortable.
So, Chu Yang took matters into his own hands, fetched a basin of hot water, and dunked his sister's head in to wash it vigorously.
Chu Le'er sat obediently on a small stool, stretching her neck out so her brother could help wash her hair. Her little heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction.
Feeling a pair of big hands finish washing her hair, gently rubbing her scalp and making it clean, after three basins of water, Chu Yang finally stopped, wrapped her head with a big towel to trap the moisture, and then used his cultivation to dry her hair.
