"Elder Dou, you have come all this way. What brings you here?" Ye Fengyun asked calmly. Although he was facing the most powerful and infamous Dou Changping, the third elder of the Dou family, he did not show any fear on his face.

His calm and composed demeanor was a world apart from the servility of Ye Congshan and the others. Originally, Ye Fengyun had returned as a descendant of a branch family and unexpectedly ascended to the position of Patriarch. Not only Ye Congshan and the others, but even many of the younger members of the Ye family were unconvinced. But only then did they realize that the Grand Elder had a reason for appointing Ye Fengyun as Patriarch on his deathbed.

While Ye Fengyun's strength wasn't yet comparable to Ye Congshan and the others, his young age, having already reached the level of a sixth-rank Divine Heart Priest, demonstrated his extraordinary talent. It was only a matter of time before he surpassed several elders. His most remarkable quality was his unassuming and composed demeanor, a demeanor that betrayed the presence of a great leader, far superior to Ye Congshan and the others.

With such a head of the family, they still have some hope and some dignity that the children of the Ye family should have. If one of Ye Congshan and his men really becomes the head of the family, they might as well divide the family property as soon as possible and make a living on their own.

"This is a letter from the head of my Dou family to you. Please read it yourself." Dou Changping threw the letter directly to Ye Fengyun.

Ye Fengyun opened the letter, and Ye Congshan and others also came over.

The letter was very simple. As long as the Ye family stopped interfering in Mu Hanyan's affairs, the Dou family would forgive the previous incidents, and even the fact that Ye Congyun and Mu Hanyan had seriously injured Du Tiancheng would not be pursued.

"Master, this is great news, great news." Ye Congshan was overjoyed. As expected, just as they had guessed, Dou Nanshan was kind-hearted and did not want to make things difficult for their Ye family. As long as the Ye family no longer paid attention to Mu Hanyan, nothing would happen.

"By the way, Master of the family, where is Mu Hanyan? Hand her over immediately, and we will be in trouble." Ye Congshui was also ecstatic and almost cried for joy.

As they spoke, the two of them looked at Ye Fengyun eagerly.

"Go back and tell Patriarch Dou that Mu Hanyan holds the order of the 24th Patriarch of our Ye family and is a distinguished guest of our Ye family. Her affairs are the affairs of our Ye family." But to their disappointment, Ye Fengyun just smiled indifferently after reading the letter, and then said in a resounding voice.

"What!" Ye Congshan and the others were stunned, and then they cried and pleaded, "Master Patriarch, please think twice. Master Dou thinks highly of our Ye family and only gave us some face by not making a fuss with us. You must think carefully!"

"Don't think about it. I've already said that Mu Hanyan, holding the order of the 24th generation head of the Ye family, is a distinguished guest of our Ye family. No matter who wants to make things difficult for her, our Ye family will protect them at the cost of their lives. This is the promise of our ancestors and also the ancestral precept of our Ye family!

"Our Ye family has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years and is ranked among the twelve prestigious families. Over the years, who in the Lesser God Heaven has dared to underestimate our Ye family? If we betray our ancestral teachings and betray our faith, how will the descendants of our Ye family face our ancestors in the future? How will we stand before the heavens and the earth?" Ye Fengyun said few words, but his words were passionate and full of righteousness.

If he had initially come to the Ye family just to fish in troubled waters and seek some opportunities, then after knowing that he and the Ye family were indeed of the same bloodline, and that he was favored by the Grand Elder and appointed as the head of the family, he truly considered himself a member of the Ye family of Xiaoshentian, and was moved by the Ye family's ethics of remembering their ancestors' teachings and keeping their promises for generations. These words came from the heart.

Even if it was someone else instead of Mu Hanyan who came, he would still abide by the ancestral teachings, let alone Mu Hanyan.

"The head of the family is right. We, the descendants of the Ye family, will never be those treacherous and despicable villains!" Ye Congyun cheered loudly.

Around him, the Ye family members were also excited.

"It seems that you are shameless!" Dou Changping's face darkened and he suddenly slapped Ye Fengyun with his palm.

Although Dou Nanshan had instructed people not to hurt anyone easily when they came, he had never said that they could not hurt anyone. Since Ye Fengyun was ungrateful, he could not be blamed.

"Be careful!" Ye Congyun moved again and stood in front of Ye Fengyun.

Ye Fengyun had heard of Dou Changping's name and was well prepared, striking out with his sword. After all, he had experienced the trials of life and death in the Heaven Curtain, and when it came to decisiveness, he was far superior to the priests of Xiaoshentian.

But unfortunately, even if the two of them joined forces, their strength was far inferior to Dou Changping's. With a muffled thud, the two of them flew backwards, hit the wall, and spat out two mouthfuls of blood.

"Master of the family!"

"Grand Elder!" All the Ye family members were shocked and hurried forward to help the two of them up. They looked at Dou Changping with eyes that were almost spitting fire again.

Ye Congshan and others were also stunned. They did not expect that Dou Nanshan's letter was so polite, but Dou Changping still attacked and hurt people without a word. Moreover, the person he hurt was not someone else, but the head of the Ye family.

They had wanted to persuade Ye Fengyun a few more times, but seeing the anger in the eyes of the Ye family members, they could no longer speak. Dou Changping had already angered everyone. If they tried to persuade him again, wouldn't it be suspected that he was betraying his family? It would be strange if he was not despised to death by his own family members.

"Mu Hanyan, get out here!" Just as everyone was glaring at him, Dou Changping did not take any more action. Instead, he shouted loudly at the quiet training room in front of him.

Although he had a fierce temper, he was not a brainless person. Seeing Ye Fengyun guarding the door of the meditation room as the head of the family, he guessed what was going on - Mu Hanyan was most likely practicing in this meditation room.

Ye Fengyun's expression changed slightly when he heard this. Seeing this, the others also guessed that Mu Hanyan was practicing in the quiet room.

At this time, Mu Hanyan could not find an opportunity to break through. Her mind was completely in a state of emptiness. She had no idea what was happening outside and naturally could not respond.

"You won't come out, right? Then I have no choice but to ask you to come out!" Dou Changping became angry when he saw Mu Hanyan refused to respond, and slapped the meditation room directly with his palm.

"Stop!" Ye Fengyun was shocked and wanted to stop it, but unfortunately he was seriously injured before, so it was too late to stop it.

A thunderous roar shook the entire training room violently, and a large hole was blasted into the wall made of huge bluestones. This was only because the training room was protected by a formation, otherwise it would have been directly destroyed by this palm strike.

Through the big hole blasted in the wall, everyone also saw Mu Hanyan's figure.

"Is she Mu Hanyan?" Dou Changping asked Du Tiancheng.

"That's right." Du Tiancheng replied.

"Didn't you say that she has a sacrificial pet whose power is comparable to that of a soul priest?" Dou Changping asked curiously.

Logically speaking, with such a powerful sacrificial pet, it should be released to protect during cultivation, but why is there no trace of it?
