The reason why Old Master Ye convened an internal discussion meeting of the Ye family was simply to let them know the current situation.
Tell the other elders of the Ye family to stop harboring the naive idea of cooperating with other families, because that is impossible.
Old Master Ye said, "History always has its ups and downs. A war is quietly breaking out within Rose Star. So I hope that everyone, for the honor of the Ye family and for our common interests, will put aside their prejudices against each other and unite. Let's stand together against the common enemy!"
However, some people have questioned this, because they believe that the Ye family could not possibly be independent of the eight major families.
If the seven families really unite to deal with them, will the Ye family really have the ability to cope?
"Old Master Ye, are you trying to start a war with the other seven major families?"
"This was a very risky decision, and a very reckless one!"
"If the seven major families unite against us, how should we respond?"
"Looking back at the history of Rose Star over thousands of years, the most important thing is to unite! We can't fight alone; we must find a way to unite with other families!"
An elder of the Ye family stepped forward; in fact, they had long harbored the idea of forming an alliance with other families.
The first choice they made was Ye Chaoqun's marriage. They planned to use Ye Chaoqun's marriage to form an alliance with other families. Only by joining forces with powerful families could they ensure that their current status remained unchanged.
However, Ye Chaoqun ultimately chose Nangong Chen, and Old Master Ye let her go.
When Ye's parents heard that they seemed to be mocking Ye Chaoqun's choice, they quickly stood up to protect their daughter.
"How naive! They have never cared about Chaoqun's marriage all this time. Shouldn't you all have realized that by now?"
"Actually, to be precise, the seven major families had already started planning this five years ago!"
“From the very beginning, they excluded us from their alliance strategy because among the eight major families, our Ye family has the least conflict of interest with them!”
"The interests of the other seven major families are intertwined, and it is impossible for them to leave any one of the families to maintain the stability of their industries. Only our Ye family can do it!"
"That's precisely why the Ye family became their target! Because we don't share as many common interests as they do, understand?"
"Even if Chaoqun's marriage goes through, it will only give them another bargaining chip; it won't help the Ye family in the slightest!"
Mother Ye had worked her way up and earned the recognition of all the elders in the family, so when she stood up and spoke, her words were powerful and impressive, and she truly convinced everyone else present.
In fact, many people in the Ye family have never wanted to admit it, but the seven major families did indeed want to exclude the Ye family.
They didn't want to admit it because it was terrible news; if it was confirmed that the Ye family had been ostracized, they would be powerless to fight back.
After all, no matter how powerful the Ye family is, the seven major families working together will definitely crush them.
Ye Chaoqun was deeply moved, never expecting that her parents would be so firm in their stance to protect her happiness.
Everyone present suddenly fell silent. Now that they had to face reality, it was naturally a little hard to accept.
"So you don't have any other good ideas? Are we just supposed to wait to be devoured by them?" one of the Ye family members was asked.
Only then did Old Master Ye say, "I've been planning this for the past few years, but no matter how I calculated it, it seemed like a dead end..."
"However, the arrival of a spaceship has changed the entire landscape!"
"It also gave me hope for the future of the Ye family!"
These words were spoken with great emotion and hope, and one could truly hear the old man's confidence in the future. However, everyone else present frowned.
"Could the old man be referring to people from Earth?"
"Are you getting senile, or are we just not good enough? You're actually pinning your hopes on these outsiders?"
"What skills do they have? I don't think they're reliable at all!"
"It's not quite like that. The old general left Zhan Siyu at the military base. I heard he's researching some kind of seed project. Last time I met up with the old general, he praised the project highly. Also, I went to that food festival in their neighborhood before. How should I put it? It's something to look forward to, but the chances seem a bit slim."
This was an internal meeting of the Ye family, so everyone spoke freely without much formality.
When the old man said that he actually hoped that outsiders from the Blue Planet would help them deal with the seven major families, many people found it unbelievable.
Ye Chaoqun felt extremely uncomfortable listening to their doubts. He never expected that people within the Ye family would distrust Nan Xiangwan and his group so much.
Ye Chaoqun originally wanted to say a few words, but Ye Chaonan stopped him.
"What rank do you hold now? How dare you speak at the Ye family's meeting?" Ye Chaonan asked.
Ye Chaoqun was speechless; he truly had no right to speak at the Ye family meeting.
"What should we do then? Should we just let them wrongly accuse Sister Nan like this?"
Ye Chaoqun really couldn't stand anyone saying bad things about Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu, so he came up with the idea to say a few words to them.
Moreover, the Ye family simply hadn't understood the potential of technology and culture on the Blue Planet.
Once they truly understand the culture of Aquamarine, they will know that Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu brought the seeds of civilization, which will definitely change the entire Rose Star.
Ye Chaonan added, "Don't be impulsive, my silly sister. It's normal for them to misunderstand each other without knowing the facts!"
"These misunderstandings need time to be cleared up; nothing you say now will make a difference!"
"If you continue to be so unruly, Grandpa will scold you, and it will also worsen your impression on Sister Nan!"
Ye Chaoqun really couldn't refute it, because Ye Chaonan was right; at this time, it was indeed inappropriate to refute what the elders of the Ye family said.
The debate at the meeting continued until the early hours of the morning. Although Ye Chaoqun didn't feel sleepy, he was very angry because the elders of the Ye family had too many prejudices and misunderstandings about the people from Water Blue Star.
However, in the end, Grandpa Ye suppressed all his words and hoped that everyone could give the people of Water Blue Star a chance.
"The verification process doesn't need to take too long; one day, the day after tomorrow, will suffice. That's why I postponed the Ye family banquet by three days!" said Old Master Ye.
