Ye Ling widened his eyes and looked at Ye Xun who was faking kindness.


He had never expected that the orphan he raised on his own to actually be a heartless and evil person.


“Family Master Ye, what Xun said is logical. As the head of the family, you should not be overly softhearted and hesitant to take necessary actions for the sake of the safety and prosperity of the family clan. The Second Elder committed such atrocity; if you insist on protecting him, not only will the Ye family suffer from embarra.s.sment, you also endanger the other people in the family as well. I’m afraid this is not what the head of the family should do…” a Duan family Elder said as he looked at the livid Ye Ling.


“I am the head of the Ye family, and the Second Elder is a member of the Ye family. I decide whether he is guilty or not. It will never be up to you, the Duan’s, to interfere,” Ye Ling replied coldly.


“Uncle Ye, there is something wrong with that statement. Both the Ye family and my Duan family are part of the three greatest family clans in Lin town. If the Ye family are conniving towards this matter, won’t it affect the good reputation of the Duan family, which shares the same t.i.tle, as well?” Duan Tianrao said.


“There is no place for you to speak here,” Ye Ling said with disdain.


Duan Tianrao’s furrowed his brows quite unhappily.


Stepping forward, the Great Elder said, “The Family Master was shocked by yesterday’s incident. I suppose you are in a confused state of mind today because you’re not fully recovered. You’ll need to rest early. Once the Second Elder is dealt with, I will bring you back to the Ye residence to recuperate. For now, you should not care so much about this as I will share your burden.”


Immediately after, the Great Elder gave the Elders from the Duan family a look. Since the Duan Elders were invited by the Great Elder to deal with the Second Elder from the start, they attacked him as soon as they saw the Great Elder’s signal!


The Second Elder’s eyes darkened as he raised his hand and fought back against them without fear.


Ye Ling never expected that the Great Elder would do evil so openly, and he instantly stood forward, wanting to strike at the Duan Elders.


“Father, you have been in poor health recently. It is better if you don’t strain yourself. The Great Elder and the Daun family’s Elders will take care of this matter,” Ye Xun blocked Ye Ling’s path.


“Get lost. I don’t have a daughter like you.” Ye Ling’s voice was low and he raised his hand in an attempt to push Ye Xun away.


However, Duan Tianrao stepped up at that moment and pulled Ye Xun behind him to protect her with one hand and blocked Ye Ling with the other. “Uncle Ye, Xun is doing this for your own good. Fights are dangerous, and it will not be good if Uncle Ye is injured.”


“Duan Tianrao, get lost! The Duan family has no room to interfere in the Ye family’s affairs,” Ye Ling uttered coldly.


However, Duan Tianrao remained unaffected and stood still. “Uncle Ye, if you’re too softhearted, you’ll not be a good Family Master. The Great Elder went through such trouble to help share your burden, why won’t you come to your senses? In consideration of your health, I’m afraid I can not let you go over.”


Ye Ling’s eyes turned sharp as he suddenly attacked Duan Tianrao.


Duan Tianrao scoffed.


If Ye Ling was at his peak, Duan Tianrao would definitely not be powerful enough to fight Ye Ling. However, Ye Ling’s body had been weakened in recent years, and he was not as highly skilled as before. Why would Duan Tianrao need to be afraid?


Then, Duan Tianrao and Ye Ling started fighting.


Watching the two battle from aside, Ye Xun acted worried. “Father, darling Duan, stop fighting.” As she spoke, she went forward to seemingly stop the fight but was in actuality preventing Ye Ling from striking and letting Duan Tianrao gain the upper hand.


On the other side, the Elders from the Duan family and the Second Elder had already been in a match. Even though the Second Elder’s ability was higher, it was difficult to fight against four opponents alone. Although he had not been completely defeated yet, he had been suppressed by the Duan Elders and was unable to escape. Looking at Duan Tianrao and Ye Xun jointly attacking Ye Ling, the anger in him riled up even more. Right at the moment when he was distracted, the Great Elder sharply captured the opportunity to fly behind the Second Elder and steadily landed his palm on the Second Elder’s back with a loud boom!
