Whether it was killing Ye Kun and his son or annihilating the Ye Family, Ye Ling had never thought of this.
He wanted to kill Ye Ting because Ye Ting had humiliated him previously. The hatred that he had accumulated for so many years had finally turned into killing intent under Chu Xiu's incitement.
However, Ye Kun and Eldest Young Master Ye Ling had never humiliated him. Now that he was living well in the Ye Family, why did they still want him to kill?
For the first time, Ye Xiao felt an obvious resistance towards Chu Xiu.
"Why do you want to kill the Master and Eldest Young Master?"
Chu Xiu sneered and said, "You've been a steward for a few days and you've lost your sense of direction after being addressed as' Lord 'a few times?
Even if you don't kill them, they will suppress you sooner or later!
What do you rely on to stand out in the Xiao Family now? Do you rely on your own strength? Wrong, you rely on others to intimidate them!
Ye Kun and his son think that Sun Zhangming thinks highly of you, so they put in so much effort on you. However, haven't you noticed that their attitude towards you has changed subtly? "
Ye Xiao said blankly, "What change? I've done everything I should have done. I've completed all the tasks that the Master gave me. "
"Yes, you've done very well, to the point that you've surpassed Ye Ling. He's the true heir of the Ye Family, the Eldest Young Master of the Ye Family. What right do you have to do better than the heir of the Ye Family? "
Ye Xiao immediately wanted to retort when he heard this, but he swallowed his words before they could leave his mouth.
He was not an idiot. He knew that one's achievements could overawe the Master.
"If Sun Zhangming didn't think highly of you, you would only be a collateral disciple no matter how outstanding your performance was. You might become a steward of the Ye Family in the future, a pillar of support for the Ye Family, but that's all.
However, Sun Zhangming thinks highly of you now. What does this mean? It means that Sun Zhangming might interfere with the Ye Family's affairs as the Sun Family of River East and forcefully support you to the position of Master of the Ye Family!
The Ye Family belongs to the direct line of descent. It belongs to Ye Kun and Ye Ling, but it doesn't belong to you.
The one who strikes first gains the upper hand, and the one who strikes later suffers a calamity. Don't tell me you want to wait for them to attack first? "
Chu Xiu's words constantly impacted Ye Xiao's worldview. Perhaps he still couldn't believe that the human heart could be so complicated and vicious.
In fact, he was indeed unable to believe it because even though Ye Ting frequently bullied him in the past, Ye Ling had helped him in the past.
In his eyes, Ye Kun, the family head, was a selfless person. He could not believe that Ye Kun would think this way.
Therefore, Ye Xiao said directly, "Senior, if you want me to do something else, I can do it. But if you want me to kill my own clansmen because of this kind of speculation, forgive me for not being able to do it!"
Chu Xiu didn't force him. He just smiled and said, "Can't do it? I'll only say this once. I'll wait for the day when you can do it, but I hope you won't regret it at that time. "
This Ye Xiao was still too young. He saw things too simply.
No matter how much they fought, they were still father and son, while he, Ye Xiao, was only an ordinary branch disciple.
In the past, Ye Ling had helped Ye Xiao purely because he wanted to disgust his younger brother, and at the same time, he wanted to show his respect.
As for Ye Kun, as the family head, even if he had selfish motives, he couldn't show it in public. As for secretly, he only represented the direct line of descent of the Ye family. Naturally, he was thinking of his own son.
Even though Ye Xiao didn't completely believe what Chu Xiu had said, he still paid attention and discovered some suspicious points. Ye Kun and his son's attitude towards him was indeed somewhat abnormal.
A few days later, the Ye family had a meeting.
Ye Kun sat on the main seat and rubbed his head with a slight headache. He said, "You should know about the fall out between the River East Sun family and the Gao Ping Lu family.
Not only have they not reconciled, but the conflict has become even more intense, and the flames of war have already spread to the lower levels.
Our Ye family has supplied the River East Sun family with ores for so many years, and both parties have long been bound to suffer and prosper together.
However, the Jiang family in the Ji State Prefecture has already defected to the Lu family. Our two families are both in the Ji State Prefecture, and there is bound to be a battle.
Therefore, the trade caravans that come and go should be more cautious, Ye Xiao. "
Ye Xiao perked up and hurriedly said, "Yes, Master."
The trade caravans were under his jurisdiction, so Ye Xiao thought that Ye Kun was preparing to increase his manpower to prevent the Jiang family from attacking their trade caravans.
However, Ye Kun said at that moment, "Compared to the trade caravans, the Ye family's mine is the foundation. Therefore, during this period, you should go to the mine and help Second Uncle guard it. I will send more elders from the family to manage the trade caravans. "
When Ye Xiao heard this, his face suddenly turned pale.
He was not an idiot. Although the Ye family's mine was indeed more important than the trade caravans in name, there was already an elder warrior from the Ye family guarding the mine. Even Ye Kun had to address him as Second Uncle.
If a junior like him went, he would basically be a figurehead. Ye Kun was clearly stripping him of his authority!
However, he did not dare to refute Ye Kun, so he could only nod in agreement.
The other disciples of the Ye Clan looked at Ye Xiao with a subtle expression.
Ye Xiao had been in the limelight during this period, but it was best for people to keep a low profile and not be too arrogant.
Now, he was beaten back to his original state.
Ye Xiao packed up his belongings and headed to the mine. The outcome was already decided.
Although the mine was the foundation of the Ye family, it had always been a place for the Ye family to retire.
In the past, when Ye Ling was in charge of the mine, he would only go there occasionally. It was always a few elders from the family who were stationed there.
Ye Xiao was an outstanding disciple of the younger generation, but now he was sent to the mine to retire. It was obvious what this meant.
After Ye Ling left, Ye Kun sighed and said, "What a pity."
Ye Ling asked in surprise, "What's a pity?"
Ye Kun said mildly, "It's not that the Ye family cannot tolerate others, but Ye Xiao was first favored by the young master of the Sun family, and now he has displayed such strength. If we don't suppress him, who knows who the Ye family will belong to in the future."
At this point, Ye Kun even glared at Ye Ling. "If you had worked harder and suppressed Ye Xiao, why would I have to be the bad guy?"
Ye Ling's face was gloomy. Who would have thought that the previously mediocre and somewhat cowardly Ye Xiao's cultivation would improve by leaps and bounds after a trip to the Sun family? Even Ye Kun felt a little pressured.
After being sent to the mine for a month, Ye Xiao was about to go crazy.
After tasting the taste of power and influence, no one could let it go.
At the same time, Ye Xiao felt a deep sense of grievance and indignation.
During this period, he had diligently led the Ye family caravan to various places in Eastern Qi. His speed was much faster than those lazy elders from the Ye family.
In the end, he had made so many contributions, yet he was banished to this place. What right did he have?
Chu Xiu's voice rang quietly in his ear. "Do you believe my words now? If you return to the Ye family now, there might be a surprise waiting for you. "
Ye Xiao gritted his teeth. This time, he finally listened to Chu Xiu. He left without saying goodbye and secretly rushed back to the Ye family.
When he returned to the Ye family, the first person he went to see was his father.
All these years, Ye Xiao had used his own allowance to keep his father alive. It could be said that the entire Ji State Capital knew of Ye Xiao's reputation. Although some people said that he was foolish, they had to admit that he was a filial son.
However, when he returned to the Ye family and returned to his courtyard, he found that it was empty. The servant girl who had served him was gone, and his father was gone as well.
Ye Xiao's heart immediately sank. He hurriedly ran out and pulled over a Ye family servant. He asked loudly, "Where is my father? Where did my father go? "
The Ye family servant was stunned and asked in surprise, "Young Master Ye Xiao, why are you here?"
"Let me ask you, where did my father go?!"
The servant was shocked by Ye Xiao's bloodshot eyes. He hurriedly said, "Your father passed away half a month ago."
Ye Xiao was stunned and murmured, "Impossible! Impossible! I had clearly instructed the servant girls to take care of my father. I have given them my monthly allowance. How could he have left? Why didn't anyone tell me! "
The servant shrank his neck and said, "After you left, Eldest Young Master reduced your allowance to the same level as before. That small amount of allowance was not enough to feed so many servant girls, much less for healing medicine. As for why I didn't tell you, I'm not sure either."
Ye Xiao stood there dejectedly. He had not expected that his forbearance would lead to such an outcome!
At that moment, Ye Ling received news of his return.
Ye Ling stormed in angrily and said coldly, "Who allowed you to leave your post without the family's orders?"
Ye Xiao's eyes were red as he said, "Why did you reduce my allowance? Why didn't you tell me that something had happened to my father? "
Ye Ling frowned and said, "You were previously the steward of the merchant group. Now that you have gone to the mines, you no longer hold the title of steward. Is it wrong for me to restore your allowance to what it was before? Moreover, the Ye family is in constant conflict with the Jiang family. How would we have the time to care about your matters? "
Ye Xiao's eyes were red as he turned and left. Ye Ling, who was behind him, snorted coldly and said, "Leave? Leave your post without permission. You will receive punishment from the family later! "
Outside the long street, Ye Xiao's eyes were red as he muttered, "Why? Why! "
Chu Xiu's voice rang in Ye Xiao's ear. "Why? Because you are not the son of the family leader. It is because your existence is in the way of some people.
Do you think that every family leader is selfless and will think for the entire family? If Ye Kun had such awareness, the Ye family would not be in its current state.
Do you still not understand, lad? Your father was severely injured and crippled for the sake of the family. Your so-called family only threw some money at him at the beginning and then ignored him. You can already foresee their cold nature.
Now, you should know what you should do, right? "
Ye Xiao's eyes were red as he gripped the sword in his hand tightly. He said coldly, "Kill!"
