This scene was even more horrifying!
After all, Murong Yunhai was from the Murong family, and now he was respectfully saluting Ye Longlin and calling him Young Master!
This...
This sent an inexplicable chill down Chen Fang and the other two's spines!
"Lord Murong... this..."
Chen Fang and the others were naturally aware of Murong Yunhai's influence, but now...
Was his background actually so significant?
How could this be possible!
They dared not believe it, and even involuntarily suspected if this was a play staged by Murong Yunhai and Ye Longlin.
But would someone of Murong Yunhai's stature bother to act alongside Ye Longlin?
They refused to believe it, and fundamentally did not want to believe it.
Murong Yunhai turned around and immediately slapped his palm, sending three sharp sounds as he struck the faces of the three, sending them flying. Cold glints flickered in his eyes.
"The Murong family and the Ye family are old acquaintances. You dare to make a move against the Young Master? Are you seeking death?"
As soon as Murong Yunhai spoke, the three were stunned. Their eyes widened, and they looked at the two figures in disbelief, their scalps tingling.
"But... his surname is Ye, and you are from the Murong family!"
Chen Fang stammered, his lips pale. He had no idea why someone from the Murong family would call a person surnamed Ye "Young Master." It simply didn't make sense!
Murong Yunhai stared at them coldly, "Do I need to explain myself to you?"
Chen Fang opened his mouth, momentarily speechless. It seemed to be the truth; did he need to lower himself to explain why?
Murong Yunhai was actually quite shocked himself. He had initially believed that Ye Guohui's entire family had perished. But not only had Ye Guohui not died, he had become a high-ranking official in the military, and they had maintained contact over the years.
Of course, he also hadn't expected Ye Longlin to survive. He was living well, it seemed, and already had subordinates.
Thirty years ago, the Murong family had faced a genocidal catastrophe. It was Ye Guohui who stepped forward and resolutely helped the Murong family. It was because of Ye Guohui that the Murong family was able to overcome this disaster.
In the end, the genocidal catastrophe was also because of the Ye family. It was just that at that time, Ye Guohui held a very high position within the Ye family, which gave him the authority to intervene in such matters.
Since then, the relationship between the Murong family and the Ye family had been very close, but this only lasted for ten years.
Ten years later, Ye Guohui was forced out of the capital, and the relationship between the Murong family and the Ye family was severed due to Ye Guohui's departure.
The Murong family's patriarch at the time had stated that Ye Guohui's life-saving grace towards the Murong family meant his status should be equal to that of the patriarch.
The Murong family had not failed to uphold this.
"I was not aware of the events back then, so there is no need for you to place these matters upon me. There is no necessity for it. Since my father did not mention it, it clearly means he did not wish to jeopardize the relationship between the two families."
Ye Longlin shook his head and spoke slowly. Ye Guohui had never mentioned the cause and effect of this matter to him, so he was unaware of it and had no intention of getting involved in these past events.
Murong Yunhai, however, said very earnestly, "Although he has not returned, there are some things we cannot do against our conscience."
"I was involved back then. I was just entering middle age. If it weren't for your father, perhaps the Murong family would not have a place among the Ten Elder Families."
"Actually, what I want to say is very simple: you can rest assured in doing what you want to do. The Murong family will never betray you."
Ye Longlin also fell silent. It seemed his father had left him something behind.
This kind of network of relationships was not something an ordinary person could handle or utilize.
Ye Longlin said no more. He glanced at Yuan Gang, who grinned and then looked disdainfully at the three.
It was truly uninteresting. He had expected to see some exciting action, but nothing of the sort happened. The boss hadn't even made a move. As expected, he had overestimated them.
Yuan Gang went to drive, and Murong Yunhai respectfully escorted Ye Longlin away, leaving only Chen Fang and the other two at the scene.
Liu Zhenxing suddenly felt a toothache, looking constipated and uncomfortable as he said to Chen Fang, "What do we do now? We intended to put Ye Longlin in his place, but who would have thought his background would be so immense? With the Murong family backing him, can we still make a move against him?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Cheng's face turned extremely grim. Half of his face was almost swollen by Murong Yunhai, that old man, and he spat out a bloody molar.
"Let him go? Do you think that's possible? Even if it means gambling everything my Zhao family has, I will still kill this brat!"
"If I don't kill him, I will never be able to quell the hatred in my heart!"
It wasn't just him; the other two felt the same way.
The greatest humiliation of their lives was this.
From beginning to end, they had never been taken seriously.
"Who chose this place?"
Chen Fang suddenly asked, and the three fell silent.
If it had been any other place, perhaps they wouldn't have had these thoughts. The crucial point was that they had chosen this place themselves, and they had invited the person themselves.
Now that they had been thoroughly embarrassed, they themselves felt as if they had brought it upon themselves.
"Is there any point?"
"Should we, outsiders, make a move?"
After a long silence, Chen Fang finally spoke, his eyes radiating a chilling gaze.
"Make a move, why not."
Liu Zhenxing hesitated for a moment, "But... what about that old man? He's essentially Ye Longlin's bodyguard now. If we make a move against him, we'll inevitably confront that old man. With that old man present, we definitely won't be able to touch Ye Longlin."
Zhao Cheng shook his head slightly, his face solemn. "Let the three Old Ancestors make their move. We must kill Ye Longlin today! If we let him go today, do you think Ye Longlin will let us off?"
This...
The two exchanged glances, shook their heads, and went their separate ways to contact their Old Ancestors.
Meanwhile, at the highest level of the Emperor's Palace.
Ye Longlin stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the night view of Nan Province, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Murong Yunhai stood beside him, smiling and explaining, "The Emperor's Palace always remains at a high position."
"The Emperor's Palace may not be the tallest in Nan Province, but from the front, it possesses a grandeur that overlooks the world. Of course, how can an Emperor be without his consorts."
"The building on the left is called Xiangfei Pavilion, and the building on the right is Phoenix Terrace. Both were constructed to complement this Emperor's Palace."
"What do you think, Young Master?"
It was indeed very magnificent.
However, Ye Longlin shook his head at this moment. "An Emperor standing too high will not understand the suffering of the common people. Only by rising from the bottom can one see all the demons and ghosts of the world and bring clarity and righteousness back to this land."
