"Are you telling the truth?"
The First Elder of the Ye Family asked in astonishment.
"That's right. I am indeed in the middle stage of the fifth rank. Qingqing can testify!" Ye Xuan nodded solemnly. In fact, he was currently at the peak of the fifth rank, but he was extremely cautious and wanted to keep a low profile.
"Yes, I can testify. He is indeed in the middle stage of the fifth rank. Furthermore, he …" Before Xue Qingqing could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Ye Xuan.
Ye Zhang and the four elders didn't care. They were only concerned about Ye Xuan's cultivation.
"Haha, the heavens are truly protecting our Ye Family. A fifteen-year-old in the middle stage of the fifth rank. His future achievements may be able to reach the eighth or even ninth rank!" The second elder of the Ye Family, who was also the second elder, laughed loudly.
"Wait!"
Before the others could speak, Ye Xuan shouted in a low voice. Everyone's attention was on him.
"I don't think I said that I want to return to the Ye Family?" Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and glanced at the five elders.
"You …" The second elder's laughter came to an abrupt halt as he pointed at Ye Xuan.
"Hmph, I remember clearly your expressions that day. Now that I have regained my strength, do you think I will return to the Ye Family so easily?" Ye Xuan continued to speak in a cold tone.
When needed, they would be nurtured. When they had no value, they would be kicked away. Ye Xuan was also a person with a temper. Even if it was his own family, he wouldn't compromise.
No one present was a fool. They all understood the meaning behind Ye Xuan's words.
Immediately, Ye Zhang asked, "Then what will it take for you to return to the Ye Family?"
He could tell that Ye Xuan had conditions for returning.
"Yes, we can agree to any conditions." An elder immediately agreed.
"Simple."
Ye Xuan directly stretched out his hand and said, "Five million taels of silver!"
Hiss!
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
Five million taels of silver was really an exorbitant price!
"Ye Xuan, are you joking?" Ye Zhang asked in disbelief.
Five million taels of silver, this was equivalent to two months of the Ye Clan's income.
"Uncle, do you think I'm joking? Or perhaps, you think that my aptitude is not worth five million taels of silver? "Ye Xuan glanced at the five people.
"This …"
Ye Zhang and the four elders looked at each other.
A 15-year-old mid-stage Fifth Stage Martial Path, this was definitely the first time someone had appeared in Lianyun City. Even in the huge South Forest County, there probably weren't many of them.
Currently, the strongest person in the Ye Family was in the seventh tier of the Martial Path. With Ye Xuan's aptitude, he could reach the eighth or even ninth tier of the Martial Path. At that time, Lianyun City would belong to the Ye Family.
"Alright, five million taels of silver!" Ye Zhang immediately nodded in agreement.
However, in the next moment, Ye Xuan's words stunned him.
"Five million is one thing, but I have another condition."
Ye Xuan continued.
"What conditions?" Ye Zhang asked.
"I want Chen Song dead!"
When this sentence spread throughout the Ye Family's main hall, the entire hall fell silent.
Chen Song was a direct descendant of the Chen Family, and he was not an ordinary one. He was the nephew of the Chen Family's Patriarch. If he died, then the Ye Family and the Chen Family would immediately start a war.
"This …" Ye Zhang hesitated again.
The four elders also looked at each other.
"Ye Xuan, you're too ruthless." Xue Qingqing whispered.
"Ruthless?"
Ye Xuan's eyes flashed with killing intent as he said, "Making a move on Liu 'er is a capital offense!"
Xue Qingqing did not speak anymore. Suddenly, she felt that the youth beside her had a unique domineering aura.
"Ye Xuan, Chen Song's identity is not ordinary. The commotion you caused last time has already caused the Ye Family to lose a few experts. If you kill Chen Song, then we will not rest until one of us is dead. "Ye Zhang frowned.
"Uncle, what if I tell you that I've already killed the leader of the Chen Family's Four Heroes, Chen Feng in the Eighteen Mountain Ranges of Lianyun?" Ye Xuan suddenly said.
Before he could finish speaking, the four Great Clan Elders and Ye Zhang all stood up and exclaimed, "What?"
Now, the five of them could not remain calm. Ye Xuan had actually killed Chen Feng. If this news reached the Chen Family's ears, it would be even more shocking than killing Chen Song.
"Ye Xuan, are you sure? You're not joking, right? "The first elder asked in disbelief.
"Elder, do you think that I, a mid-stage Fifth Stage Martial Artist, can't kill Chen Feng, who has a lot of pills?" Ye Xuan's eyes narrowed.
This question stunned the four clan elders and Ye Zhang.
Their thoughts were still stuck at the time when Ye Xuan had broken through to the early stage of the Fourth Stage. But now, Ye Xuan was already in the mid-stage of the Fifth Stage.
"I can testify that Ye Xuan killed Chen Feng alone in front of me." Xue Qingqing, who was at the side, suddenly said.
Ye Zhang also felt a sense of pressure. He asked again, "Ye Xuan, who else knows about this matter?"
"Only me and Qingqing." Ye Xuan answered honestly.
"That's good. This matter must not be spread. Otherwise, our Ye Family and the Chen Family will really not rest until one of us is dead!" Ye Zhang hurriedly reminded and said, "As for Chen Song, we still have to discuss it."
Although Chen Feng's death was a bit more shocking, he had died in the wilderness after all. No one knew. But if Chen Song died now, then everyone would suspect the Ye Family. When that happened, the two families would start a war.
Ye Zhang and the four elders walked to the back of the hall to discuss.
Ye Xuan thought for a moment and shouted, "Eldest Uncle, four elders, I give up on this condition."
Hearing this, the five people at the back of the hall hurriedly walked back.
"That's good, that's good." Ye Zhang sighed in relief.
For the sake of Ye Xuan, the Ye Family and the Chen Family had to go to war. This matter needed to be discussed at length.
At this time, Ye Xuan suddenly added, "I can remove the condition of Chen Song's death, but I want an extra two million taels of silver!"
"What a guy, he's really asking for a lion's share."
The five elders all thought in unison.
However, if they were to compare Chen Song's death with the two million taels of silver, the latter was naturally easier to accept.
Wasn't it just two million taels of silver? It wasn't like they would throw it away. In any case, they were giving it to Ye Xuan. This was equivalent to the family allocating a large amount of funds to nurture him in advance.
"Alright, a total of seven million taels of silver." Ye Zhang was very straightforward.
Seven million taels of silver was equivalent to more than three months of the Ye Family's income. Moreover, the entire Ye Family's monthly expenses were probably not even one-tenth of this amount.
Ye Xuan agreed to return to the Ye Family, but extorted seven million taels of silver. This was considered a good deal. However, Ye Xuan still had a plan in mind.
"Eldest Uncle, I went to the Eighteen Mountain Ranges of Lianyun a few days ago to train and coincidentally obtained two level five martial arts …"
