Ye Tiandao's voice struck the hearts of the crowd like a warhammer, and many members of the Ye family instantly turned bloodshot.

Even a pampered and privileged figure like Ye Tiandao, the head of the Ye family, could disregard life and death, which undoubtedly gave them a strong boost of confidence.

Encouraged, the group instantly regained their strength.

Just as they were about to continue fighting, Qiao Suinian's calm yet sarcastic voice rang out.

"Patriarch Ye, your speech is indeed very encouraging, but I have to tell you some bad news."

"Your other son, Ye Difeng, probably won't be coming back either. It's really unfortunate that he also died at my hands."

Upon hearing this, Ye Tiandao's pupils contracted sharply, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I know Feng'er best. He's not like that good-for-nothing Ye Diyun! Not only does Feng'er have extremely high self-control and not get close to women, but he's also top-notch in talent and strength. He's also meticulous in everything he does. How could he possibly die silently at your hands?"

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Do you think I would have any reason to lie to you at this point?" Qiao Suinian shrugged indifferently.

Although Ye Tiandao said he didn't believe it, his face had turned deathly pale in an instant.

No wonder, no wonder Ye Difeng has been gone from the Ye family for so long without a word.

Based on Ye Difeng's past practices, such a secret departure would take anywhere from two or three days to seven or eight days before he would return to the Ye family.

My child, have you truly been harmed by villains?
