Evening, at the Jia Hong Hotel.
Wang Songren, Tang Zhongxin, and Li Shuyang waited for Liu Xiaoyuan's arrival in the private room. Their goal for the night was the same: to win Liu Xiaoyuan over, or at least to establish a good relationship with him.
A few minutes later, Liu Xiaoyuan finally arrived. Upon acknowledging his lateness, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately cupped his hands and said, "Three clan heads, I'm sorry I'm late!"
Now that the three of them are trying to win over Liu Xiaoyuan, they won't utter a word even if he's a few minutes late or an hour late.
After they sat down, the three immediately handed the menu to Liu Xiaoyuan and asked him to order. Liu Xiaoyuan did not stand on ceremony. He took the menu, ordered two dishes he liked, and then handed the menu to Tang Zhongxin, who was closest to him.
"Brother Liu, please feel free to order!" Tang Zhongxin said with a smile.
Li Shuyang and Wang Songren echoed this sentiment, nodding in agreement.
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "How can that be? Everyone has different tastes. What if I order all the dishes I like, and you don't like them? It's just like everyone's personality. For example, I like a free and easy life and I don't like being bound by rules and regulations!"
Liu Xiaoyuan's words had a hidden meaning, and Tang Zhongxin and the other two weren't fools; they naturally understood what Liu Xiaoyuan meant.
Upon hearing this, the three immediately knew that their efforts tonight would likely be in vain.
However, since we're already here, even if it's a pointless meal, we should still enjoy it to the fullest.
While Liu Xiaoyuan and his group were eating, a major event occurred at the Ye family's residence, but for the Ye family, it was a great joy!
The patriarch of the Ye family has emerged from seclusion and has even broken through the Transformation Realm to reach the Innate Realm!
This news was undoubtedly a great joy for the Ye family. The Ye family immediately decorated the house with lanterns and colorful decorations to celebrate the Ye family patriarch's advancement to the Innate Realm!
The good news that the Ye family patriarch had become a master of the Innate Realm immediately swept away the gloom of Ye Zifan's defeat that morning, and the entire Ye family was filled with a festive atmosphere.
At this moment, the Ye family members are gathered in the main hall, waiting for the old patriarch of the Ye family to arrive.
The old patriarch of the Ye family was named Ye Sheng, Ye Chengxin's father and the previous patriarch of the Ye family. However, in order to focus on breaking through to the Transformation Realm, he passed the position of patriarch to Ye Chengxin.
Ye Sheng is actually 68 years old, but he looks like he is around 50. His hair is half black and half white, and he exudes an aura of authority.
"Greetings, Patriarch! Congratulations on becoming a master of the Innate Realm!" The Ye family members stood up and offered their congratulations as Ye Sheng stepped forward and sat in the patriarch's seat.
Ye Sheng broke through to the Transformation Realm and became a Master of the Innate Realm. He was in high spirits and laughed, "Everyone, please don't stand on ceremony!"
"Patriarch, you are now a master of the Innate Realm. From now on, our Ye family will be able to easily surpass the other three major families. Under your leadership, our Ye family will reach even greater heights!"
"Under the leadership of the former patriarch, our Ye family will become even more prosperous and powerful, standing at the top of the four great families!"
After a barrage of flattery, Ye Sheng was in a great mood and laughed heartily.
Suddenly, Ye Sheng glanced at the crowd and asked, "Where's Zifan? Where's my precious grandson Zifan? Why can't I see him? Did he go out?"
Ye Zifan is a prodigy in the Ye family, which is why he is deeply favored by Ye Sheng. Although Ye Zifan's parents died young, everyone knows that Ye Zifan is deeply loved by the old patriarch, and it's possible that the position of patriarch will fall to Ye Zifan in the future.
"Dad, Zifan has been beaten up!" Ye Chengxin said hurriedly.
"What!?" Ye Sheng slammed his fist on the armrest of the chair in anger, smashing the mahogany armrest to pieces. Seeing Ye Sheng's anger, the people below lowered their heads in fear.
"Who? Who injured Zifan?" Ye Sheng already possessed an imposing aura, and now that he was angry, he was even more frightening.
Ye Chengxin quickly recounted what had happened that day to Ye Sheng. After listening, Ye Sheng angrily said, "Hmph! That brat dared to hurt my grandson. I'll make an example of him and raise the prestige of the Ye family."
"The old patriarch is wise!" The Ye family members showered him with flattery once again.
Ye Sheng said to Ye Chengxin, "Chengxin, call that kid right now and give him two choices: either kneel at the Ye family's gate tomorrow and cripple his own legs, or face certain death. Let him choose! Also, call the other three families and tell them that I've come out of seclusion, and let them come and watch the show tomorrow!"
"Yes, Father! Ye Chengxin is just like a child in front of Ye Sheng, he can only obediently listen to him."
"Patriarch, will the celebration banquet still be held tonight?" one of the elders asked.
Upon hearing this, Ye Sheng angrily retorted, "My grandson Zifan has been severely injured, what kind of celebration banquet is this?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The elder hurriedly agreed, afraid that Ye Sheng might slap him in anger if he was displeased.
Seeing this, the Ye family members all understood that Ye Zifan would be the second oldest in the Ye family from now on, and even the family head, Ye Chengxin, would have to take a backseat. As for the eldest son, it would naturally be the former family head, Ye Sheng.
"Alright, everyone disperse. Go do whatever you were doing!" Ye Sheng waved his hand, and everyone left.
Ye Chengxin naturally had objections to Ye Sheng's doting on Ye Zifan, but what could he do? He could only keep his objections to himself.
After Ye Chengxin left, he immediately dialed Liu Xiaoyuan's number.
