"You … Who are you?"
Ye Ting looked at Duan Lingtian and asked with a bitter smile.
After witnessing Duan Lingtian's strength, Ye Ting no longer dared to put on airs as the head of the Yeh family. He knew that in front of a true expert, he, as the head of the Yeh family, was no different from an ant.
If the other party wanted to kill him, it would be easy. He would not be afraid just because he was the head of the Yeh family.
"I'm Xiao Xuan's friend."
Duan Lingtian replied calmly.
"Big Brother, why are you wasting your breath on him? Kill him quickly!"
Ye Hui's expression changed drastically when he realized that Ye Ting did not make any moves against Duan Lingtian.
"Kill, kill, kill. All you know is to kill! If he wanted to kill your big brother, your big brother would have died several times over! "
Ye Ting was already nervous. When he heard Ye Hui's words, he immediately reprimanded him impatiently.
"What?!"
Ye Hui's expression changed drastically when he heard Ye Ting's words. He was already in great pain after his dantian was destroyed. Now that he was frightened, he fainted.
"Elder Brother Duan."
Ye Xuan regained her senses. She realized that the purple-clothed youth she had saved was far more powerful than her Second Uncle and her father.
In the blink of an eye, he had destroyed her Second Uncle's dantian. Then, at the critical moment, he had easily dodged her father's furious attack.
Even her grandfather, the former head of the Yeh family, could not compare to him.
"Xiao Xuan, don't worry … I will help you solve your problem."
Duan Lingtian smiled at Ye Xuan and gave her a reassuring look.
Ye Xuan's heart warmed. Then, she looked at Ye Ting with a trace of pain in her eyes. Finally, she said, "Elder Brother Duan, can … can you let my father go?"
"Silly girl."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled. "You don't think that Big Brother is a cold-blooded demon, do you?"
When Ye Xuan heard Duan Lingtian's words, she couldn't help but smile.
Duan Lingtian's gaze fell on Ye Ting as he sneered, "Yeh family head, did you see that just now? Even if you want to sacrifice Xiao Xuan, when you are in danger, she will be the first to stand up and plead for you! "
"She won't ignore your life and death just because you want to sacrifice her! In her heart, you are her father, the father who gave birth to her and raised her! "
Duan Ling Tian's words were spoken in a resolute manner.
Ye Ting smiled bitterly, then put away his sword and sighed, "Do you really think I want to sacrifice Xiao Xuan? If there was any other way, even if I had to die, I wouldn't let Xiao Xuan marry that beast! "
Duan Lingtian and Ye Xuan couldn't help but be stunned by Ye Ting's sudden change.
The current Ye Ting and the Ye Ting from before were like two different people!
"Hmph!"
Duan Lingtian glanced at Ye Ting disdainfully. "Just now, didn't you keep talking about how good the Shen Family's hedonistic young master is in front of Xiao Xuan? Why are you changing your words now? "
"I was forced by the situation. I just wanted to convince Little Xuan."
Ye Ting sighed, then looked lovingly at Ye Xuan and slowly walked over.
Ye Ting reached out his hand and gently stroked Ye Xuan's head. He said gently, "Xiao Xuan, I'm sorry. It's all my fault! It's all my fault! "
"Dad!"
Ye Xuan hadn't seen her father so gentle in a long time. Her eyes reddened as she threw herself into Ye Ting's arms. "What happened?"
Soon, Duan Lingtian and Ye Xuan found out the ins and outs of the matter from Ye Ting's mouth.
It turned out that the whole thing was caused by Ye Hui alone.
Ye Hui secretly agreed to the Shen Family's request for a marriage alliance. He agreed to betroth Ye Xuan to the hedonistic young master of the Shen Family. As a result, he used the Shen Family's connections to gain a lot of personal benefits.
When Ye Ting found out about this, he flew into a rage. He personally went to the Shen Family and wanted to break off the engagement.
But how could the Shen Family be willing to do so?
The Shen Family spread word that if the Yeh Family didn't fulfill their promise, the Shen Family would declare war on the Yeh Family and make the Yeh Family completely vanish from Driftcloud Town and become history.
"The strongest person in our Yeh Family is my father who rarely leaves the house, but he's only at the third level of the Void Interpretation Stage … After this incident happened, what I was most worried about was my father finding out about it. Once he finds out, he'll surely kill Second Brother with his own hands! "
When he spoke up to here, Ye Ting glanced at Ye Hui who'd fainted.
"Moreover, with my father's temper, he'll surely stop at nothing and fight the Shen Family until the end for Xiao Xuan! But once the matter develops to that extent, the Yeh Family will be finished! "
"The Shen Family is too strong. They have two martial artists at the fourth level of the Void Interpretation Stage alone … Moreover, the Supreme Elder of the Shen Family is even an existence at the fifth level of the Void Interpretation Stage! Our Yeh Family going against the Shen Family is no different than striking a rock with an egg. "
Ye Ting closed his eyes with slight pain, and he continued after a short while. "So, for the sake of the entire Yeh Family, I made a painful choice to unite with the Shen Family by marriage and make Xiao Xuan submit! For this reason, I didn't hesitate to destroy the relationship between Xiao Xuan and I with my own hands, and I betrayed the promise I made to my late wife! "
"Xiao Xuan, I'm sorry … Father has let you down!"
As he finished speaking, Ye Ting's tears flowed down his face, and he had an apologetic expression.
"Father!"
Ye Xuan tightly embraced her father as two streams of clear tears flowed down her face, and she muttered. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I always thought that you didn't love Xiao Xuan anymore … Xiao Xuan is in so much pain, really in so much pain! "
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the pair of father and daughter before him.
Looks like he'd misunderstood Ye Ting as well.
Ye Ting was a good father, but at the same time, he was also the Patriarch of the Ye Family, and there were many things he had to consider.
"Yeh Family Patriarch!"
When he saw Ye Ting and Ye Xuan separate, Duan Lingtian took a step forward and looked at Ye Ting as he asked in a low voice. "You said earlier that the strongest person in the Shen Family is a fifth level Void Interpretation Stage martial artist?"
"Yes."
Ye Ting nodded, and at the same time, his eyes lit up. "Brother Duan, could it be that you …."
"Yeh Family Patriarch, I'll make a trip to the Shen Family with you!"
Duan Lingtian interrupted Ye Ting, and then he walked out of the Yeh Family Audience Hall with large strides. When he arrived before the entrance, he didn't forget to turn around and look at Ye Xuan. "Xiao Xuan, Elder Brother Duan will solve this problem for you today!"
"Elder Brother Duan, are you really confident?"
Ye Xuan had a worried expression as she said, "I don't want anything to happen to you as well … Otherwise, I won't be able to feel at ease for my entire lifetime!"
"Don't worry."
Duan Lingtian smiled confidently.
He didn't take a family whose strongest person was only a fifth level Void Interpretation Stage martial artist seriously.
It was fine if they were sensible, but if they weren't, he didn't mind teaching them a lesson!
When he thought up to here, Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed with a cold light.
After walking out of the Yeh Family Estate with Ye Ting, Duan Lingtian and Ye Ting walked side by side towards the Shen Family Estate.
All along the way, he found out about some things in Driftcloud Town from Ye Ting.
The Shen Family was an absolute overlord in Driftcloud Town, and no family dared take the initiative to offend them.
In Driftcloud Town, there were a total of three families like the Yeh Family, and all of them had to act according to the wishes of the Shen Family. A portion of the profits from their respective businesses had to be handed over to the Shen Family every month.
"What an overbearing Shen Family!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed with a bright light as he muttered.
"It can't be helped. In Cloud Continent, the strong are respected. The Shen Family has three existences at the fourth level of the Void Interpretation Stage or above, and they've already established their overlord status in Driftcloud Town."
Ye Ting sighed. "With those three experts at the fourth level of the Void Interpretation Stage or above present, even if our three great families join forces, we're still not a match for the Shen Family!"
Duan Lingtian nodded, as he deeply agreed with this.
Even though the third level of the Void Interpretation Stage and the fourth level of the Void Interpretation Stage were only a single level apart, it was a great gap, and the difference between the two was the strength of an entire 20 ancient horned dragons.
Such a gap in strength was like a chasm that was difficult to surmount!
The Shen Family Estate was situated at the east of Driftcloud Town, and it occupied a vast area that was far from something the Yeh Family Estate could compare to.
"As expected of the number one family in Driftcloud Town!"
Duan Lingtian stood in the sky above the Shen Family Estate, and he looked down at the scenery beneath his feet.
By his side, Ye Ting was slightly perturbed and uneasy, and he laughed bitterly. "Brother Duan, isn't this not too good? No matter what, the Shen Family is the number one family in our Driftcloud Town. "
"Yeh Family's Patriarch, do you think that the Shen Family will readily agree to your Yeh Family's request to break off the engagement and disregard past enmity if you show sufficient etiquette today?"
Duan Lingtian replied with a question instead.
"Of course it's impossible!"
Ye Ting hurriedly shook his head. "If the Shen Family finds out that our Yeh Family wants to break off the engagement, they'll surely act according to the threat they made to our Yeh Family that day and make a move against our Yeh Family!"
"Then do you think there's a difference between us barging into the Shen Family like this and showing sufficient etiquette and entering the Shen Family from the main entrance?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
Ye Ting shook his head.
"Then do you prefer the current situation, or do you prefer to show sufficient etiquette and enter the Shen Family from the main entrance?"
Duan Lingtian asked again.
"The current situation."
Ye Ting's eyes lit up. He seemed to have been enlightened by Duan Lingtian for a moment. He looked down at the Shen Family's mansion below his feet and roared at the top of his lungs, "Members of the Shen Family, listen up! Ye Ting of the Yeh Family is here to break off the engagement! How can the hedonistic son of the Shen Family touch the precious daughter of the Yeh Family? "
Ye Ting's voice contained elemental energy. When it was transmitted, it exploded above the Shen Family's mansion like a clap of thunder. Unsurprisingly, it alarmed the entire Shen Family.
Duan Lingtian was stunned. He couldn't help but give Ye Ting a thumbs up. He said in a daze, "Head of the Yeh Family, it seems that I have underestimated you."
He originally wanted to teach Ye Ting how to do this, but who knew that Ye Ting would do it without a teacher? Furthermore, he did it better than he expected!
"It's the Yeh Family!"
"The Yeh Family is here to break off the engagement!"
...
The entire Shen Family's mansion was in an uproar because of Ye Ting's thunderous voice that contained elemental energy.
Furthermore, Ye Ting's words were not only heard by the Shen Family, but also by the people near the Shen Family's mansion.
"What does the Yeh Family want to do?"
"Is the Yeh Family trying to challenge the authority of the Shen Family?"
"I think the Yeh Family doesn't want to live anymore!"
...
Around the Shen Family's mansion, many people flew into the air and approached the Shen Family's mansion. They were all here to watch the show.
"It's the head of the Yeh Family, Ye Ting!"
Soon, someone recognized Ye Ting, who was flying above the Shen Family's mansion.
"Who is the person beside Ye Ting?"
