"Come. Xueyi, help father up. I'm feeling much better already." Ye Chongtian grunted and placed his hands on the edge of the bed. He wanted to slowly stand up. Even though he did have some strength, his movements were very slow.
Ye Xue Yi sighed slightly. Looking at his pale face, she shook her head helplessly.
"Father. You're only feeling a bit better and you're already out of bed. If you're not careful, you might get sick. I'm afraid ….."
Ye Chongtian forced himself to calm down, "Even if I get sick, I have no choice but to get up. I'm afraid that Zifeng won't be able to hold on for much longer. This time, he has to face so many elders by himself. It's too hard on him."
Hearing this, Xueyi remembered her brother's situation. She bit her lip and bit her teeth. In the end, she still helped Ye Chongtian up. In their hearts, Ye Zifeng's situation was getting out of control. It was a mess and he had become the target of everyone.
At this time, a figure suddenly appeared at the door. He hurriedly walked into the room and closed the door.
It was the Ye clan's housekeeper Du. He had an anxious expression on his face.
"Master, this isn't good. The young master is bringing people from the other clans towards you!" As Ye Chongtian's trusted aide, Housekeeper Du knew how bad his master's condition was. How could he possibly receive guests?
"What?!"
Ye Chongtian's expression froze. He felt as if his heart had fallen into an ice cave.
"In the end, he still can't hold on for much longer ….. But it's not bad. He's been dragging it out for so long. Come. Xueyi, this time, you really have to help me up. "
Xueyi sighed. Since things had reached this point, she could only take it one step at a time.
The figures outside the door became clearer and clearer. Ye Chongtian quickly walked in. He wanted to stand up before they entered the room to show that he was fine.
The door opened and the first person to enter was Takamagahara. He had a smile on his face but when he saw that Ye Chongtian was struggling to stand up, his expression changed.
"Brother Chongtian, what are you doing? Hurry up and go back to bed. Don't let this cause you to get sick."
Just as he finished speaking, several people squeezed in from behind him. The moment they saw Ye Chongtian, they all revealed sincere and concerned expressions.
"Chongtian, listen to Xiao Gao. Look at your pale face. Why don't you lie on the bed and rest? Otherwise, your family will be worried."
"Uncle Tian, you're treating us like outsiders. If you're this sick, just tell us. Why torment yourself?"
"Isn't that right? You have such an outstanding son. It's time for you to enjoy your life!"
Ye Chongtian was slightly stunned. Before he could even say a word, a group of attentive people hurriedly helped him back onto the bed.
"This … what happened to all of you …"
The more Ye Chongtian thought about it, the more surprised he became. He and Xueyi looked at each other and could see the doubt in each other's eyes. Weren't these people here to question him? Instead, he came over to comfort me?
How could these people be so kind?
Ye Zifeng slowly walked over and landed at the back of the group. His expression was extremely calm. He was wearing a deep purple robe and a white jade belt. With his outstanding aura, he looked like the leader of this group.
Ye Chongtian looked up and asked, "Zifeng. This ….. What's going on?"
"They all know that you were poisoned. Most importantly ….."
Ye Zifeng smiled and continued, "It's done."
Three words. Simple and powerful.
"What do you mean it's done?" Ye Chongtian didn't understand what was going on. Everyone knew that they were poisoned and that Ye Zifeng told them about it. But what did he mean by that?
A few people from the smaller clans came over to Ye Chongtian and started laughing.
"Brother Chongtian, your son is really something. We've been in the business world for a long time but we didn't get any benefits from him. It seems like everyone owes him a favor."
"Young master Ye is truly worthy of being called Chongtian's son. Twenty years ago, Chongtian was definitely one of the top figures in Leizhou City. It seems like your son is going to catch up to his father's footsteps and rise up!"
Ye Zifeng slowly walked over and smiled, "I've already arranged for the trade routes from Leizhou City to Tiandao City. We've already discussed with the other clans about the trade routes. Thus, out of the hundreds of clans in Leizhou City, half of them have decided to form an alliance with our Ye clan!"
"Half?!" Ye Chongtian was so shocked that he stood there like a block of wood. Usually, the number of people who would form an alliance with the Ye Family would form an alliance with 30 families. How could they form an alliance with 50 families?
If it was Ye Chongtian, he would at most be able to form an alliance with twenty clans. He definitely wouldn't be able to form an alliance with fifty clans.
This ….. This was too ridiculous!
Ye Zifeng was a Martial Lord in his past life and was also a peak heaven tier alchemist. His view of the world was different from a normal person's. With his beautiful plan, everyone was extremely excited. Compared to the Wang clan and the Liu clan, the difference was like the difference between heaven and earth. Even those who wanted to join the Wang clan changed their minds after hearing Ye Zifeng's plan.
"Half is only the beginning. Some clans are still wavering. They'll choose to work with our Ye clan, the Wang clan, or the Liu clan. Thus, we'll have to work hard in the future to win over more clans ….."
Ye Zifeng smiled and paused for a bit, "Other clans form an alliance with a piece of paper. Those who form an alliance with my Ye clan must make a blood oath. If the Ye clan prospers, then the other clans will prosper. If the Ye clan becomes the number one clan, then the other clans will become the best. We'll help the small clans turn around and revitalize the large clans! "
It's not like the Wang clan and the Liu clan didn't have any slogans. It's just that most of what they said was for their own benefit. Ye Zifeng, on the other hand, was doing this for the benefit of the small and medium clans. In Leizhou City, this was something that had never been done before or since.
Just based on this point alone, it was enough to convince everyone.
"We're willing to work hard for the young master of the Ye clan!"
"The Gao clan supports young master Ye! We're willing to make a blood oath!"
"Since young master Ye is so considerate towards us, we'll also make a blood oath!"
"The Gu clan is willing to make a blood oath!"
"The Qian clan is willing to make a blood oath!"
Everyone's voices rose and fell. It was as if these people were hot-blooded youths. However, no matter what, these people were once young. They had dreams and chased after them. It was just that they didn't have the right opportunity to display their talents. Now, Ye Zifeng's hot-blooded speech and calm manner had already touched their hearts, bringing back memories that they had been sleeping for a long time.
A merchant is like an army. If the king cowers and doesn't make an example, then the soldiers will lose their morale. But right now, Ye Zifeng was making a vow.
"Alright, my father still needs to rest today. As for the subsequent plans for the trade route, I will have my servants send copies of the documents and deliver them to each of you one by one. As for the specific plans, we will discuss them another day when my father is feeling better!"
Ye Zifeng deeply bowed towards everyone with a respectful expression. To Ye Zifeng, they were all elders. To treat the people of the Ye clan well, he must not lose his traditional etiquette. This was his attitude and also his promise.
Everyone clicked their tongues in admiration and went up to Ye Chong Tian to ask about his well-being, praising him for raising his son well and hoping that he would recover soon. Only then did they leave the Ye Mansion, satisfied. As for the matter of being refused at the door this morning, they had long forgotten about it.
Seeing how everyone was swearing for Ye Zifeng, Ye Chongtian and Ye Xueyi both sucked in a cold breath. They were completely speechless.
This was the first time they saw Ye Zifeng's way of doing things. Even though they didn't see the whole picture, they were still shocked. Just by relying on his own strength, he was able to take care of all these elders. Even if it was Ye Chongtian, he might not be able to do it.
"Brother Zifeng, you're too amazing ….. I ….. I don't even know what to say!"
Ye Xueyi's eyes were filled with splendor. She had grown up with Ye Zifeng. Ye Zifeng was basically bullied by his peers. But now, not only did he win over his peers during the heavenly clan gathering, he was also praised by these elders.
Even if someone like Wang Tianzhi was stronger than Ye Zifeng in terms of cultivation, who says that Ye Zifeng won't be able to catch up in the future. In such a short period of time, Ye Zifeng's cultivation had increased by leaps and bounds!
Of course, if Ye Xueyi knew that her brother was already at the peak of the fifth stage of qi refining, she would be even more shocked.
"It's too early to be happy. I've spent half the morning brainwashing them, but once they calm down and think about it, some of them might switch sides and choose the Wang family."
Hearing this, Ye Chongtian understood, "I know. No wonder you made them swear the blood oath. You wanted to use this opportunity to make it so that they won't be able to change their minds."
If that's the case, then Ye Zifeng's temperament is too scary.
The corner of Ye Zifeng's mouth raised into a smile, "The blood oath is only a kind of restriction. The real deciding factor is our Ye Clan itself. Also, at this time, we need to be careful of the Wang clan and the Liu clan's attacks. We don't want anyone to take advantage of us. "
The other two listened attentively and nodded.
