"Yes, this is the patriarchal order given to the Gao family by the 20th patriarch. The Gao family then gave it to Chief Priest Mu. Everyone knows the ancestral precepts of my Ye family, so I won't say much." Ye Congyun said.
Ye Zhongshan and the others fell silent immediately. It turned out that Ye Congyun ran all the way to greet Mu Hanyan because the headmaster's order was in her hands and the ancestral precepts were there. So they had no reason to blame Ye Congyun anymore.
"Chief Priest Mu has just ascended to the position of Right Priest of the Temple of Life. This time she came to Lesser God Heaven to meet the Lord God. She is not familiar with Lesser God Heaven, so after a few days of rest, I will personally escort her to the main temple. You will have to work hard for a few more days to take care of the clan's affairs." Ye Congyun continued.
"Hmph, it's easy for you to be the great elder." Ye Congshan said with a cold snort.
However, since Mu Hanyan held the order of the head of the Ye family, he could not go against the ancestral teachings. After venting his dissatisfaction, he didn't say anything more.
"Okay, I'll take Chief Priest Mu back to rest first." Seeing that several people were cold to Mu Hanyan and had no intention of welcoming the distinguished guest at all, Ye Congyun felt bad and was too lazy to waste time with them, so he stood up and said.
"Wait!" At this time, the fourth elder Ye Conglong suddenly said.
"Is there anything else?" Ye Congyun asked.
"Mu Hanyan, this name seems a little familiar." Ye Conglong said thoughtfully.
"Oh, I remember now. I heard a rumor a few days ago that Du Tiancheng and Guan Qingyun, disciples of Lord Dou, were beaten and seriously injured. Guan Qingyun's cultivation was completely destroyed. The person who did it seemed to be Mu Hanyan." Ye Congshui shuddered and looked at Mu Hanyan in surprise.
Mu Hanyan didn't expect that the news would spread so quickly. Before they even arrived at the Ye family, the rumor had already reached them.
This was actually related to Dou Nanshan's status and position. Any rumors related to the Dou family always spread very quickly in Xiaoshentian. Unfortunately, he did not issue a gag order at the time. Although the clan members and servants did not dare to say a word at the time, they started talking about it as soon as they came down and inadvertently spread the matter out.
Not only the Ye family, but even the other major priest families had received news that Mu Hanyan had severely injured a disciple of the Dou family, irritating Dou Nanshan. Many people were curious about who this Mu Hanyan was and how she could be so bold. Of course, they were even more curious about how Mu Hanyan would die. A death that was too easy would probably not ease the hatred in Lord Dou's heart.
"You, you are that Mu Hanyan?" Ye Conglong asked Mu Hanyan cautiously.
"Yes, I am Mu Hanyan." Mu Hanyan nodded.
"Actually, I have also fought with Du Tiancheng." Ye Congyun thought about it and felt that since they were all family, it would be better to make some things clear as soon as possible, so he spoke.
"What, Ye Congyun, are you crazy? Others may not know Du Tiancheng's origins, but you don't know either?" Ye Conglong jumped up suddenly, his face turned pale with fright. He no longer cared about Ye Congyun's identity as the great elder, and accused him by name.
Dou Nanshan's protectiveness and his obsession with saving face were well known to everyone in Xiaoshentian. Mu Hanyan injuring Du Tiancheng and crippling Guan Qingyun was fine; she wasn't a member of the Ye family, so she deserved to die. But Ye Congyun was also an accomplice. Wasn't this pushing the Ye family into the fire pit?
"No, someone come, ask her to leave immediately. She must not stay in the Ye family." Ye Congshan also stood up, pointing at Mu Hanyan, and said firmly.
"Also, from now on, our Ye family will have nothing to do with her. Ye Congyun, you must go to the Dou family immediately and apologize to Lord Dou. You cannot delay for a moment." Ye Congshui also said.
Several people were pointing and gesticulating, completely forgetting Ye Congyun's identity as the great elder.
"Have you forgotten the ancestral teachings of my Ye family?" Ye Congyun slammed the table heavily and shouted angrily.
Several people called him by his name and ordered him around, but he was not actually too angry because he knew that his serious injury had damaged his foundation and it was difficult for him to make any progress in strength. He would never be able to take the last step and be promoted to a Soul Priest in his lifetime. It was not right for him to become the Great Elder, and Ye Congshan and others had long been dissatisfied with him.
However, Mu Hanyan held the token of the 24th head of the Ye family. According to the ancestral precepts, the Ye family should treat her as a distinguished guest and give her all their support. However, they didn't even ask what was going on and directly ordered her to leave, as if they didn't remember the ancestral precepts at all.
"Those ancestral precepts are from hundreds of thousands of years ago. Who would keep mentioning them all the time? Besides, as the Great Elder, you've come all the way here and given her enough respect. You've done your utmost. There's no need to put our entire Ye family to death for her." Ye Congshui snorted coldly. At this moment, he remembered Ye Congyun's status as the Great Elder.
"The third brother is right. She could have provoked anyone else but the Dou family. She is simply courting death. We in the Ye family will not let him take the blame." Ye Congshan also said.
"What are you still standing there for? Someone, come quickly, ask her to leave the Ye family immediately. Our Ye family has nothing to do with her." Ye Conglong shouted to the guards serving beside him with a pale face.
Judging from his appearance, he must have been frightened to death.
"Forget it, I'll go on my own," Mu Hanyan said, shaking her head. She was a little upset that she wasn't being treated as a distinguished guest and was being kicked out. However, she wasn't angry with Ye Congshan and the others. Dou Nanshan was one of the Twelve Divine Blessing Priests and the current Divine Punishment Priest. Whether it was his own strength or the influence of the Ye family, it was beyond the reach of the small Ye family. It was natural for them to not want to draw fire upon themselves.
Originally, he thought that Ye Congyun was weak due to injury, and that the other elders of the Ye family should be quite strong, with at least a few soul priests. But when he saw Ye Congshan and others, he realized that he had overestimated the Ye family. Ye Congshan and others were only on par with Ye Congyun, and none of them could reach the level of soul priests.
"Wait!" Mu Hanyan was about to leave, but was stopped by Ye Congyun.
"Ye Congshan, Ye Congshui, have you forgotten why our Ye family's ancestors left such a legacy? If it weren't for the seniors of the Gao family who came to our rescue, our Ye family would have been forced to leave Xiaoshentian long ago, and even our family would have been destroyed! What you just said is no different from that ungrateful person. How can you be worthy of the spirits of our Ye family's ancestors in heaven?" Ye Congyun was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and he pointed at Ye Congshan and others and said.
"Ye Congyun, you're going a bit too far. We did this for the Ye family. Now it's clearly someone who caused the disaster, why are you blaming us?" Ye Congshan's face darkened and he fought back bluntly.
"Yes, the ancestors of the Gao family did a great favor to our Ye family back then, and it is our duty to repay them, but we shouldn't sacrifice the entire Ye family for the sake of repaying them." Ye Congshui also said with a sneer.
