"What serious incident has occurred?"
Ye Qiu asked.
After taking a deep breath, the newcomer said in a deep voice, "Palace Master, a family that has appeared out of nowhere has come to the capital and is spreading rumors everywhere that you are not satisfied with controlling the Dragon Palace, but also want to control the entire martial arts world of Great Xia. They are clearly plotting something sinister and suggest that the Dragon Palace be eliminated, and... eliminated you."
Ye Qiu frowned: "What family? Be more specific."
"The Yan family, I've never heard of this family before, but they claim to be descendants of the gods. One of the Yan family members, named Yan Binghe, is the person in charge of spreading these rumors. A grandmaster-level expert refuted him, but he was slapped to death. His strength is terrifying."
"Understood. Don't send anyone to investigate them, and don't provoke them. They'll come looking for their own deaths."
Ye Qiu said softly.
"yes."
"Okay, go downstairs," Ye Qiu said.
As the person who reported left, Ye Qiu slowly clenched his fist.
I only heard my senior sister and the others talk about an ancient family last night, and I never expected that they would appear today.
Ye Qiu was almost certain that these were the ancient families his senior sister had mentioned.
"They're really impatient, so eager to get rid of the Dragon Palace and you. We'll not let them have their way."
Murong Qingcheng said solemnly, her voice filled with murderous intent.
“I’ll personally investigate the background of this Yan family. How dare they claim to be descendants of the gods? How laughable.”
Qin Yue's face was also filled with coldness.
She would not allow anyone to touch the Dragon Palace, and even less would she allow anyone to target Ye Qiu.
"Fifth Senior Sister, be careful."
Ye Qiu said.
"I know, don't worry."
Qin Yue waved and quickly walked away.
“I’ll go too, to keep her company.”
Murong Qingcheng quickly caught up with Qin Yue.
Ye Qiu did not stop him.
The reason he didn't allow the people under the Dragon Palace to investigate was to protect them.
Unlike Qin Yue, Murong Qingcheng and Qin Yue have the ability to protect themselves, so even if they face experts from ancient families, they will not be in great danger.
"Ye Qiu, are we just going to do nothing?"
"Shadow asked."
"Let's wait and see," Ye Qiu said. "We don't know the details of this ancient family yet. Let's see if they have any experts who have surpassed the Martial God Realm. If they don't have any experts who have surpassed the Martial God Realm and still dare to act recklessly, I don't mind sending them all to hell."
“Okay, but I have an idea…” Ying’er hesitated before speaking.
"Aren't you scared?" Ye Qiu asked.
"No, that's not it." Ying'er said cautiously, "What I mean is, I think we can strike first, catch these Yan family experts alone, and eliminate them one by one. At the same time, we can directly extract some information from them. What do you think?"
“This idea is good, I think it’s feasible. They regard the Dragon Palace and me as the forces that must be eliminated first, so we don’t need to talk about martial ethics.”
Ye Qiu stroked his chin, lost in thought.
"That's right, kill them until they're terrified, kill them until they behave themselves and keep their tails between their legs."
Ying'er clenched her small fists.
"Okay, let's do it that way, but you shouldn't go. Just stay home and behave yourself."
Ye Qiu smiled.
"Ah, I don't want to." Ying'er immediately said, "I want to go with you. I can kill enemies too. Don't underestimate me."
"That won't do. You need to take good care of your health so you can have a baby."
Ye Qiu said.
"Give...give what?"
"Think about it yourself."
Ye Qiu took three steps forward, and then disappeared from Ying'er's sight.
Ying'er didn't chase after him, but she couldn't stop smiling.
In fact, this was just a stopgap measure Ye Qiu used to prevent her from going along.
Ye Qiu didn't know the extent of this ancient family's power, so he didn't want to take Ying'er on a risk.
If you're alone, you can easily walk away if things go wrong.
...
Soon after, Ye Qiu went to the street and, after asking around, learned where the newly arrived ancient clan was.
Because the Yan family, who had only recently arrived in the capital, were extremely high-profile, immediately spending money to buy a building upon arrival, this matter even made the news and was reported by many media outlets.
Ye Qiu arrived near the building, looked up, and saw that the building had been renamed. The new name was extremely arrogant, with the four characters "Shinto Building" standing out prominently.
"Shinto Building?"
Ye Qiu sneered.
This Yan family really thinks they're descendants of gods.
"Mr. Yan, please tell us, Ye Qiu just overpowered the Mili Kingdom and the Dongdao Dynasty, he is a hero of our Great Xia, so why does your Yan family slander him with ulterior motives? If it is not slander, then what evidence do you have to prove your accusations against Mr. Ye Qiu?"
At the building's entrance, a group of media reporters surrounded a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was dressed in a retro long robe and had long hair, looking like he was in ancient times.
Upon hearing the reporter's question, the man smiled slightly and said, "Sima Zhao's intentions are obvious to everyone. We can't wait until problems arise to solve them; we must prevent them from happening in the first place. So your question is meaningless."
"I cannot agree with what you said; isn't this a fabricated charge?"
The reporter frowned.
She was a loyal fan of Ye Qiu, so when she heard this, she was very indignant, but dared not get angry.
The man raised an eyebrow: "Are you dissatisfied? If we don't get rid of Ye Qiu as soon as possible, there will be endless troubles. So, you vulgar people are short-sighted and don't understand. I can't explain it to you, and I don't want to."
"Ha, so you're saying that you can just make up a reason to kill anyone you don't like? Isn't that treating human life like dirt? Ridiculous."
The female reporter was somewhat angry.
"Oh, if that's how you want to put it, then so be it. Interpret it however you like. But your questioning of my Yan Clan's decisions and deductions is an unforgivable crime punishable by death. So, go die."
The man suddenly raised his hand.
With a bang, the female reporter was instantly killed.
Upon landing, the person had no vital signs.
This startled the other reporters, who were all greatly shocked and involuntarily stepped back.
Because no one expected that this member of the Yan family would actually kill someone.
"Mr. Yan...aren't you going a bit too far?"
"Isn't the Yan family afraid of incurring public outrage by doing this?"
"Ye Qiu is our hero. The Yan family's current behavior is like that of bandits, trying to steal others' achievements while trying to maintain a virtuous image." Someone shouted from the back of the crowd.
"Say whatever you want." The man said disdainfully, "Remember this: today, I, Yan Binghe, declare that in this world, the strong are respected and the weak are preyed upon. I don't care what kind of media you are, but remember this: you can ask questions, but don't spout nonsense, or you will only face death."
"Is the Yan family really that domineering?"
Ye Qiu strode forward, his voice cold.
Upon hearing the sound, the reporters turned around and were all taken aback.
