“Everyone, please wait a moment, my grandson called to ask everyone not to move; he will be here soon and will definitely be able to explain everything clearly!”
Ye Changfeng had explained countless times, but among the direct lineage forces present today, some did not believe in Ye Fan’s abilities. Moreover, although Ye Changfeng had already screened the candidates once, he still could not guarantee that all of the direct lineage forces were uncompromised.
After all, given the current situation of the Ye Family, it was normal for some people to seek other paths.
“Elder Ye, it’s not that we look down on Young Master Ye, but Ye Fan, although he was a monstrous talent before, became so foolish after the car accident five years ago. What can he do now? Sigh, if it weren’t for your face, Elder, we wouldn’t have come today!”
“Yes, Elder Ye! We are all very clear about the critical situation the Ye Family is facing. We must all unite to get through this tough time, but Elder Ye, you shouldn’t pin your hopes on an idiot!”
In the Tian-character private room, five large tables were set up, with representatives from the Ye Family’s legitimate lineage amounting to forty or fifty people.
Everyone was staring intently at Ye Changfeng, waiting for his further explanation.
“We’ve all come here with sincerity today, Elder Ye, you should at least let us have a drink of water, right?”
Someone at the scene could no longer wait. A middle-aged man sitting in the front row took a bottle of water from the table, opened the cap, and was about to feed himself.
“Wait a minute!”
Suddenly, a stern voice sounded from the doorway, and Ye Fan and Maid Xiao Wen appeared at the entrance.
As Ye Fan chided, his figure swiftly moved, appearing in front of the middle-aged man in the blink of an eye, and he snatched the bottle of water from the man’s hand.
“Young Master Ye? What do you mean by this?” The middle-aged man frowned. Although they all considered Ye Fan to be a fool, it still felt uncomfortable to have the water that was about to reach his mouth taken away in front of so many people.
“Uncle Zheng, you will understand in a moment,” Ye Fan responded to the man in front of him and turned to Maid Xiao Wen, “Is everything they prepared ready?”
“Everything is prepared!”
As she spoke, Xiao Wen had the Ye Family’s bodyguards bring up several cages containing little white mice.
Ye Fan did not say much and poured the water that Uncle Zheng wanted to drink into the bowls of the little white mice!
The little white mice in the cage immediately rushed forward and started lapping up the water from the bowls.
Everyone in the private room watched the situation with puzzled faces, full of curiosity.
What was Young Master Ye doing?

Since becoming foolish five years ago, the Ye Family’s idiotic young master often did things that people couldn’t understand.
Bringing mice to the banquet, were they going to let the mice hop right on the tables later?
A stir arose from the crowd, and just as everyone was about to ask questions, the inevitable happened.
The little white mice in the cage suddenly began to convulse violently, their mouths frothing madly, and then their bodies stiffened, losing their vitality force completely.
All three little white mice in the cage met their end in an instant.
“Ah? What’s this…” All the people at the scene were dumbfounded. Even the dimmest could now clearly see that there was poison in the water in front of them.
“Damn!” The middle-aged man who was just about to drink the water leapt up on the spot, shouting excitedly, “Motherfucker! The water is poisoned? I almost became that little white mouse!”
As everyone was shocked, they all hurriedly pushed away the water glasses and bottled waters in front of them.
Among the Ye Family’s direct lineage force, there were a few who were in the Grandmaster Realm and had some expertise in the use of poison.
But they had not detected the poison in the water just now, had they?
While everyone was shocked, they became even more curious—how did Ye Fan, an idiot, know about this?
“It’s not just in the water!” Ye Fan spoke calmly before opening another cage. Several small white mice scurried from the cage onto the table and started nibbling on the delicious dishes laid out.
But within three seconds, the result was the same. The mice had only taken a couple of bites of the chicken soup on the table before they keeled over, dead on the spot!
Whoosh!
The people present were completely stirred up!
“Damn it! These people… they’ve gone too far! Poison in the water and in the food, do they really intend to eradicate us completely?”
“Shit! Elder Ye, just give the order and we’ll fight them… These ruthless, vile bastards, it seems they won’t let off anyone associated with the Ye Family!”
“Brothers, none of us should back down, let’s fight them!”
The atmosphere on the scene was instantly pushed to a climax!
Dozens of people present, most of whom ruled over their own domains or were top figures in their industries.
They had all relied on the Ye Family to grow, and now that the Ye Family was in trouble, they were still unwaveringly loyal.
However, in the crowd, there were still a few whose faces didn’t show much change in expression upon seeing the situation, and even a hint of resentment could be seen in their eyes.
Although that look was fleeting, Ye Fan captured the shift in their emotions with sharp sensitivity.
But now, most of the lower-level henchmen acting against the Ye Family had been dealt with by Ye Fan.
It was time for some of the Ye Family’s heritage and secrets to be made known.
The Zhao Family of Cloud City, the Li Family, Wang Family, the young master of the Liu Family from the Provincial City, and Chu Feng sent by the Northwest, all perished in Cloud City. If the Ye Family did not reveal some of their foundation, their opponents would not continue to expose their tails.
After a bout of emotional upheaval, the crowd finally calmed down somewhat.
At that moment, the elites and leaders finally caught on to something they were curious about.
“Elder Ye, Young Master Ye Fan, he? This is…” Thinking back to what had just happened, the crowd only then realized that Ye Fan had used the white mice for experimentation and had also warned everyone not to touch anything here in advance, which certainly did not seem like the intelligence and strategy of a fool!
Ye Changfeng looked at Ye Fan, and after receiving his nod of approval, pointed to Lei Qianjue beside him and said, “This is Mr. Lei, the Great Xia Medical Saint, who everyone knows, right? Divine Doctor Lei has examined Ye Fan and says that Ye Fan is slowly recovering and should be able to fully return to normal soon! One of the reasons we called everyone here today was to officially announce this news!”
Whoosh!
The words of Ye Changfeng made the scene explode in excitement!
“Congratulations to Elder Ye! Happy congratulations to Elder Ye!”
“Has Young Master Ye finally awakened? Heaven has not forsaken our Ye Family!”
“Haha! With Young Master Ye’s monstrous talent, those who have massacred our Ye Family’s sons must pay with their blood!”
Nearly everyone present erupted, some offering congratulations to Old Master Ye, others to Ye Fan.
They were very clear on what Ye Fan’s awakening meant!
Ye Fan’s monstrous talent, already at the Grandmaster Realm five years ago, meant that once his talent was restored, it wouldn’t be long before he could break through to the Martial Venerable Realm, right?
With a Martial Venerable Realm powerhouse within the Ye Family, it wouldn’t be so easy for the rest of Great Xia to quietly erase the Ye Family from existence.
And most crucially, once Ye Fan fully awakened, the Ye Family would regain its backbone. The families and forces aligned with the Ye Family would also have their backbone, and the Tianlong Army would regain theirs…
Everyone could now see hope for the future, naturally leading them to approach things with greater zeal!
