"Yuwen Guangxu?"
"He seems to have some background?"
"Could he be a Earth-level expert from that Yuwen family?"
Ye Cangtian looked at Dongfang Mingyue in confusion, asking for clarification.
He had heard Jian Wusheng mention that the Yuwen family also had a considerable influence within the ruins, with Earth-level experts stationed there.
However, after arriving in Dragon City, apart from Yuwen Chengji, Ye Cangtian had not encountered any other members of the Yuwen family, nor had he heard of the Yuwen family's residence.
At this moment, he was still wondering where this Yuwen Guangxu had come from.
"No."
"Yuwen Guangxu is a rising star of the Yuwen family, the most promising young prodigy in the family who is expected to become an Earth-level expert."
Dongfang Mingyue slowly shook her head and explained.
"Young prodigy?"
A faint smile appeared on Ye Cangtian's face. How many so-called young prodigies in the ruins had he not seen?
But their strength, in the end, was only average, basically not worth mentioning.
"Carefulness ensures a safe journey for ten thousand years."
"You must know that you are not omnipotent!"
Seeing Ye Cangtian's expression, Dongfang Mingyue gave him a fierce glare and continued impatiently, "Another purpose of reminding you is not to go too far!"
Dongfang Mingyue naturally did not want Ye Cangtian to suffer losses, but she also did not want to lose a talent, as these were the future of the Hidden Group.
"Understood, I will go easy on him."
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian smiled and said, "Sister Mingyue, doesn't the Yuwen family also have influence in the ruins? Why haven't I seen the Yuwen family?"
"The Yuwen family's influence in the ruins is relatively small, so they are not in Dragon City. When you have the chance to go to the Western Continent in the future, you might pass by their stronghold..."
Dongfang Mingyue said briefly, then waved her hand, signaling Ye Cangtian to leave.
She had said what she needed to say, and the rest was for Ye Cangtian to handle.
...
After leaving the Hidden Group, as per Dongfang Mingyue's instructions, Ye Cangtian went directly to the Enforcement Team's prison.
Ye Cangtian bypassed the cells of Bai Sulan and Bai Yuanhang and went directly to the front of Bai Zhenshan's cell.
"Bai Zhenshan, have you thought it through overnight?" Ye Cangtian asked directly.
Bai Zhenshan took a deep look at Ye Cangtian and nodded slowly, saying, "If I can preserve the Bai family, I am willing to accept any punishment!"
Now, he no longer dared to think about competing with the Dongfang family. For him, preserving the lineage of the Bai family was more important than anything else.
"Then I will tell you the outcome, and you can see if you can accept it."
"You voluntarily resign from your position as Auxiliary Elder and are demoted to a regular elder. As for the Bai family, they will not be implicated in any way!"
Ye Cangtian said slowly.
The authority of the Auxiliary Elder was too great, almost suppressing Dongfang Mingyue. If he continued to hold the position, the variables would be too large.
Once stripped of the Auxiliary Elder position, many would give up following the Bai family, which would surely weaken the Bai family's faction.
It could be said that this fundamentally severed the Bai family's ambition to contend with the Dongfang family.
Bai Zhenshan asked indifferently, "Is this your decision, or Dongfang Mingyue's decision?"
He wanted to clarify. If it was Ye Cangtian's decision, it didn't matter whether he agreed or not, as Dongfang Mingyue controlled the fate of the Bai family.
Ye Cangtian glanced at him and said indifferently, "It is my decision, and it is also Sister Mingyue's decision. I am now in full charge of this matter."
With these words, Bai Zhenshan understood everything. Dongfang Mingyue was indeed paving the way for Ye Cangtian!
Letting everyone know that she was backing Ye Cangtian.
It seemed that Ye Cangtian would be heavily relied upon in the near future!
Thinking of this, Bai Zhenshan lowered his head dejectedly and said, "I accept."
At this point, he was like meat on a chopping board, at the mercy of others, with no chance of resistance.
It could be said that even if he were imprisoned indefinitely or directly killed, it would be within reason.
Yet, he was only being removed from his post and the Bai family was not implicated, which was much better than he had expected.
"Don't agree so readily. There are some things I still need to make clear to you!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at Bai Zhenshan and slowly stated his requirements.
First, his grievances with the Bai family were to be settled from this moment on, and from now on, no one was allowed to use this to harm the other.
Second, he hoped the Bai family would remember the lesson and not cause any more trouble, otherwise, the Bai family would be in danger.
"Heh, what's the point of saying this?"
"Can the Bai family still cause trouble?"
Bai Zhenshan smiled slightly, his smile filled with disdain and bitterness.
Even if Dongfang Mingyue and Ye Cangtian let bygones be bygones with the Bai family, they probably wouldn't allow the Bai family a chance to rise again, would they? How could they cause trouble then?
In Bai Zhenshan's opinion, this was superfluous.
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian snorted and said impatiently, "Don't you understand what I mean? Not being implicated means there will be no restrictions on the Bai family. Whether you can regain your glory depends on your ability!"
Hmm?
With these words, Bai Zhenshan was stunned. He could hardly believe his ears, nor could he believe that Dongfang Mingyue and Ye Cangtian would be so magnanimous!
Speaking of which, wouldn't this outcome be like letting a tiger return to the mountains?
Although his position was abolished and his authority greatly reduced, there would still be opportunities to make a comeback!
How could the other party leave such a hidden danger?
"Are you kidding?" Bai Zhenshan asked for confirmation.
"Believe it or not, time will prove everything."
"You just need to remember that the Bai family and the Dongfang family are both Huaxia families. In all matters, prioritize Huaxia's interests!"
Ye Cangtian said impatiently, then took out a porcelain bottle and threw it to Bai Zhenshan.
"I understand."
Bai Zhenshan was touched by Ye Cangtian's words. He often spoke of family and national righteousness, but in his actions, family came before the nation. Otherwise, these things would not have happened.
However, Dongfang Mingyue and Ye Cangtian were different. They deeply understood the righteousness of the nation, so they sacrificed their personal interests and grievances, choosing to lightly punish the crime and let the Bai family go.
Compared to the two, Bai Zhenshan felt immensely ashamed.
He slowly bowed to Ye Cangtian and said, "Thank you. Go back and tell Dongfang Mingyue that from now on, if there is any order, the Bai family will not refuse!"
With that, Bai Zhenshan opened the porcelain bottle and took the antidote for the Spirit Sealing Pill.
This time, he was truly convinced.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian revealed a satisfied smile and said, "You are free to leave at any time."
Saying this, Ye Cangtian turned and walked towards the prison gate.
"I... we can also leave?"
Bai Sulan and Bai Yuanhang heard the word "you" and were stunned, thinking they had misheard, and quickly asked.
After all, the offenses they committed were different and could not be treated the same.
Ye Cangtian stopped and looked back, saying, "You heard correctly. Some things are in the past. I said that bygones are bygones between the Bai family and myself, and that naturally includes you!" m..oΓg
After speaking, Ye Cangtian left the prison without further delay.
"Daughter, it seems we were really wrong..."
Looking at Ye Cangtian's receding back, Bai Yuanhang murmured to Bai Sulan.
The life and death of the father and daughter were basically in Ye Cangtian's hands, but in the end, they were still let go, all for the sake of resolving their grievances.
Thinking of this, he truly felt ashamed.
Bai Sulan nodded upon hearing this, saying nothing, only slowly bowing her head towards Ye Cangtian's retreating figure.
She bowed!
