Chapter 43 – This World Doesn’t Belong to Me
“Go and bring your sister to the Punishment Department hall, I’ll give you an answer. And hopefully, you too, will give me an answer.”
What Ye Tianlong had said, crashed the long-established impression in others’ mind. Because the leader of the Ye Family was known for his inflexibility. In fact, everyone in the Mars Prefecture was aware of this
Ye Tianlong’s son, Ye Dao, was a genius. However, if he was born into any other prominent family, he would’ve been treated much better. If it wasn’t for his obstinate father, Ye Dao wouldn’t have behaved so disobediently. Eventually, when Ye Dao had brought Qingguan, Qinghan’s mother, home from a brothel, he had kneeled down in front of his father’s bedroom for as long as three days. However, the stubborn Ye Tianlong had neither admitted nor rejected his daughter-in-law.
Today, Ye Dao’s son had committed such crimes, and he had even insulted his grandfather. If this was the old Ye Tianlong, then he would’ve slapped Qinghan in his face. Nevertheless, instead of being mad at Qinghan, Ye Tianlong behaved rather good-tempered, and even wished to give Qinghan a proper answer.
“An answer?” Qinghan nodded his head, as he melancholy looked at his sister, “I think she’s already dead. So, I don’t need any answers… If you could help me kill a man, however, I will give a satisfying answer.”
“Say it!” Looking at the heartbroken Qinghan, Ye Tianlong urged him.
“Help me kill the young leader of the Xue Family – Xue Wuhen! Also, please fulfill my mother’s wish, which is to be buried together with my father in the ancestral tomb.”
After pondering for a little while, Ye Tianlong replied, “I can only say yes to the latter request. As for the former, I need to know the reason and the process of the whole event.”
The straightforward reply of Ye Tianlong surprised Qinghan, especially when he learned that his mother’s last wish would be realized. As per his grandfather’s request, he explained the whole story, “I bet you’re already aware about my sister, she has a Jade Spirit Body. Wuhen, who boasts a pair of duel-pupil eyes, identified my sister’s holy body the first time he met her. Therefore, he coordinated with Qingkuang and Ye Ron, and planned to kidnap my sister to marry him. That was why my sister committed suicide by slamming her head against a wall. What happened next is self-evident. I killed Ye Qingxian and Ye Bao, before I ruined Ye Qingkuang’s cultivation. Originally, I held Qingkuang as a hostage, in order to lure you guys out. However, Ye Jian sneak attacked me. My poor sister, she sacrificed her own soul to save me… With the mysterious power that I received from my sister, I suddenly became as powerful as those in the Realm of the Emperor. So, I killed Ye Ron. Later, you and the other two great elders arrived. That’s it!”
Strangely, no matter what Qinghan said, Ye Tianlong always kept a poker face, as only the brows above his eyes would sometimes move. Actually, after Qinghan’s long narration, Ye Tianlong didn’t reply to Qinghan. Instead, he turned to Tianqing, “ Tianqing, is what he said true? So…”
“Bullshit! How is it possible for Qingkuang and Ye Ron to help an outsider in order to kidnap a family member? Father, as far as I know, Qinghan has already been on bad terms with Qingkuang and Ye Ron for quite some time, so I guess he’s just trying to trick you.” Not even did Ye Tianlong finish his words, or Ye Jian had hastily interrupted him.
[note: The raws say Ye Tianqing interrupted Ye Tianlong, but when I read this paragraph and the next 2 I can’t help but feel he meant Ye Jian instead. So I changed it :)]
“Shut up! Or I’ll seal your mouth shut!”
Ye Tianlong’s expressionless face finally took on a furious look. The reason for his outrage was that, during his absence, the management of this family had become a complete mess. Taking a deep breath to calm down, Ye Tianlong glanced at Ye Jian shortly, before he turned his eyes back on Tianqing.
“Your Highness, I’ve arrived here just after Qingkuang’s cultivation was ruined. So, I can only confirm the latter part of his story. As for the former part, the kidnapping stuff, I really don’t have any clue about it. Oh, Qingkuang was taken away by Elder Ye Quan for healing; I think he’s probably ok now.” Tianqing replied honestly. After that, he stole a weird look at Qinghan, before he continued, “Your Highness, I have another thing to report to you. It’s closely related to the rise and fall of our family.”
“Ye Quan, go and bring Qingkuang here.” Ye Tianlong waved his hands to one of the kneeled-down elders in front of him. Realizing the severity of the thing Tianqing was about to report, he curiously said, “Tianqing, just say it.”
“What sort of thing would be the determinant to the rise and fall of our family?” Both Ye Baihu and Ye Qingniu were attracted by this newly-raised question. Both of them were now closely listening.
“Your Highness, I request to exempt Qinghan of all his wrong-doings.”
What Tianqing said stirred a storm in a teacup. Given the fact that Qinghan had killed three family members and injured another one, especially when one of those killed was an elder in the Realm of the Emperor, how could Qinghan be exempted from such a felony. Even if those who had died, had committed crimes, they still didn’t deserve to be killed.
“Give me a reason!” Although Ye Tianlong had already started to put the pieces together, he was still greatly interested in hearing it from Tianqing.
Glancing at Qinghan, who was a little bit moved by his exemption suggestion, Tianqing replied with a tone of excitement, “Your Highness, There must be a super powerful battle beast in Qinghan’s body, which is at least an eighth-grade one, maybe a holy-grade one, or… even higher!
“What?!”
“Oh, My God!”
“…”
