I am destined to be sleepless tonight.
People living closer to the Ye Mansion had already noticed the flames rising from inside.
The flames were extinguished, and then they transformed into pure white flames and ignited again with even greater speed.
The house was filled with cries of "fire!" and chaotic footsteps accompanied by panicked shouts. One could tell with one's feet that the Ye family had encountered another accident!
"I'm afraid this is a punishment from heaven. For several days in a row, I've been watching one family get into trouble!"
"Hey? Counting tonight, it's not just twice. How do you say several days in a row?"
The restaurant near Ye's house was already packed with people, all of whom came to see the excitement firsthand. The restaurant owner's face was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
If he wasn't afraid that the Ye family would come to his door later, he would have begged everyone to help him so that the Ye family could prosper even more, and it would be best if they didn't stop!
On the second floor of the restaurant, a group of people stretched their necks to look down.
Some people were surprised when they heard this: "...Are you still from the capital? The previous times were not so big, but it was still a big commotion! We should go around the streets and alleys and ask who hasn't heard it in the restaurants and teahouses. I'm afraid the Ye family is going to change."
"First, the fifth young lady of the Ye family got into trouble. It took a lot of effort to finally save her life, but unfortunately, she was also crippled and her cultivation was gone. She has been in a coma ever since."
"And that very night, when the moon was dark and the wind was strong, something happened to the Ye family again..." The man lowered his voice, but everyone around him pricked up their ears to listen.
The orcs all have good hearing, not to mention that most of those in the capital have cultivation skills.
Finally, the person next to him tutted his words and became impatient: "Xie, just for asking, stop keeping us in suspense! You always get stuck at the most critical moment!"
"That's right, we just returned to the capital not long ago."
"If the trial of the Supreme Court of Light hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that the Ye family, which was so prosperous a year ago, would end up like this. Haha, this is retribution! Hurry up and tell me!"
The crowd urged.
"Ahem." The young man, known as Xie Da Ting, was not annoyed. He smiled and continued, "Don't worry, I was just about to say it!"
"The Ye family kept this news a secret, but there's no such thing as an impenetrable wall. The Ye family's secret vault is gone!!"
Those who had already heard the news couldn't help but shake their heads and gloat.
As for those who had not heard of it, their eyes widened and exclamations were heard everywhere.
"That's the root of the Ye family! Just gone?"
"It's not over yet. Then came the incident with Ye Qingxuan and Ji Changming. How did these two get together? I heard that Ji Changming wasn't interested in that person before."
"Ye Wanyin!"
"Oh, yes! That's the name. The Ye family's least visible Sixth Miss! Moreover, Ye Qingxuan and Ye Wanyin have a very good relationship. Every time Ye Qingxuan takes her out, many people envy and praise Ye Qingxuan for her generosity and kindness... Oh, I didn't expect the water is so deep!"
Right at this moment.
Suddenly, someone ran up from the first floor, saying excitedly, "Big news! Big news!"
"The Ye family is most likely finished and has become a hollow family. Even the lowest third-rate family has a stronger foundation than them."
"In my opinion, it won't be long before they are dethroned as one of the five great families!"
The whole audience was in an uproar.
All gathered there.
Xie Yuan, who stayed where he was without moving, opened the white jade bone fan in his hand, chuckled, and looked at the fire, as if thinking about something.
"Who are you? I've never met you, but there aren't many people who are so impatient and capable of dragging the Ye family down with them..."
In his hands.
On a crumpled, yellowed note, there was a line of beautiful handwriting, with a hint of sharpness at the end of the stroke, which clearly described the changes that had taken place within the Ye family.
And what concerned him most was.
The other party knows his true identity!
The four words "Your Highness the Crown Prince" at the beginning of the sentence almost made him spit out a mouthful of water.
At that time, he was sitting in the crowd in disguise, chatting and laughing. When someone stuffed a ball of paper into his mouth, he was confused and angry. When he came to his senses, he saw only the back of a beggar running away.
There is no need to chase him. In this situation, you can tell at a glance that the other party does not want to reveal his identity for the time being.
I opened the note with a skeptical attitude. I didn't know until I saw it. As soon as I saw it, he sat up straight. No one would care about the things written on it individually, but if they were put together, it would seem that it was intentional...
Tonight.
Xie Yuan came at the invitation.
He sat in the best viewing position written on the note for about half a minute, and the show really started as promised!
"Whoever it is."
"This cooperation is sincere enough, I'm very satisfied... Ha, you'll understand in the end. I want to see how strange you look, why you're so tightly covered up!"
Xie Yuan almost gritted his teeth to squeeze out the second half of the sentence.
He was really angry. Even his secret guards couldn't find someone. This was the first time in the entire capital in all these years!
…
Inside the Ye Mansion.
Everyone sitting or standing in the meeting hall today came here covered in ashes.
The fire was finally brought under control.
But the Ye family’s external reputation and influence are really terrible!
Ye Yunfeng swept his sharp eyes over everyone present.
Except for the second young lady who was taken away by the Supreme Court of Light early because of her talent, the third son of the Ye family, Ye Zhuheng, and the fourth young lady, Ye Xirong, are siblings from the same mother. They have been training outside for some time. They hurried home that night and were stunned by the oncoming fire before they even sat down.
"Where's Ye Wanyin?" Ye Yunfeng asked unkindly, "I didn't see her just now. Where is she now?!"
Ye Zhuheng sneered: "Father, that loser must have been too frightened by the fire to go out. Everyone is busy putting out the fire, but she's the only one who's afraid to die and hasn't been seen!"
"A person like this actually belongs to our Ye family. What a disgrace to our family tradition!"
He folded his arms, looking like he was waiting for a good show.
Ye Xirong, who was standing next to her, curled her lips slightly, her eyes soft and charming. "Brother, why do you say that about sister Wanyin? Maybe she just suddenly felt unwell and thought that she couldn't help much, so she didn't come to avoid causing trouble for us."
Except for Ye Wanyin, everyone else has arrived.
Ye Yunfeng's eyes were filled with gloom. "She's really becoming more and more disregardful of the family rules. Does she still regard me as her father? She's acting so arrogantly. I might as well let her be the head of the Ye family!"
"Head of the family."
At this moment, the Fifth Clan Elder coughed softly, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on him. The Fifth Clan Elder was in charge of the daily training of all the Ye family disciples in the Ye family, and was also the clan elder that the Ye family disciples saw most often and were most familiar with.
"I was just about to mention this. I saw her unable to even guard a storage room and let the enemy empty it all out. How could my Ye family's reputation be shattered? I was so angry that I hit her a little too hard, and she fainted without even realizing it."
Ye Zhuheng snorted disdainfully: "What a waste!"
