Ye Shouxin also felt that something was amiss. He knew his father quite well.
Ye Chengqian's attitude meant that he had already made a decision in his heart, and it was definitely a decision that was disadvantageous to them.
"Shouxin, you're the most tolerant among your brothers. Little Jiang is quite talented as well. Originally, I thought that when you became the head of the family, the Ye family wouldn't have any internal strife," Ye Chengqian said solemnly.
That was exactly what he thought.
Ye Shouxin was an illegitimate child. If someone else became the head of the family, they might not be able to tolerate Ye Shouxin. Ye Shouxin and his bloodline would have to leave the Ye family!
As a father and the head of the family, Ye Chengqian didn't want that.
If Ye Shouxin became the head of the family, Ye Shouxin's power would increase. The first, second, and third branches of the Ye family would also be powerful. They would be able to maintain a balance internally. With him there, there shouldn't be any major problems.
If Ye Shouxin reached the fifth rank in the future, even if he went, he would still be able to sit firmly as the head of the family.
Ye Chengqian never thought that Ye Jiang would actually die!
As a result, Ye Shouxin's bloodline would have no heir. If Ye Shouxin became the head of the family, he would definitely be a threat to the Ye family in the future. The other bloodlines would definitely fight for the position of the head of the family!
Ye Chengqian thought about it again and again. Since they had already reached this point, he could only give up on Ye Shouxin and the others!
"Father, I —"
Ye Shouxin wanted to explain that he had already reached the peak of the fourth rank.
However, Ye Chengqian raised his hand to stop Ye Shouxin. "You don't need to say anything. Just listen. It's already inappropriate for you to become the head of the Ye family. I have to consider the future of the Ye family. Your brother will become the head of the family very soon! "
Ye Shouxin frowned. Ye Chengqian still hadn't said what he wanted.
Ye Chengqian took a deep breath. "Your brother will never tolerate you. You should know that as well! If you continue to stay in the Ye family, it will only cause internal strife within the Ye family. It will be detrimental to the development of the Ye family!
"Therefore, I've decided to separate you from the Ye family. It's best if you leave Konoha!"
Ye Shouxin said in disbelief, "Father, you can't do this!"
To put it nicely, it was splitting up the family. It wasn't that there weren't other clans that did this, but they would only split up the side branches. He, Ye Shouxin, was Ye Chengqian's son!
Even if he was an illegitimate child, he was still his own son. Ye Chengqian acknowledged that!
What he was doing was actually banishing them!
For a clan, expelling someone from the clan was an extremely severe punishment!
Powerful families often had a lot of enemies. Expelling a family member was sometimes the same as pushing the other party to the guillotine.
Ye Chengqian said sternly, "I've made up my mind!"
"If you continue to stay in the Ye family, it will be detrimental to the Ye family. The Ye family has been passed down for hundreds of years. It cannot fall into my hands!"
As the head of the family, Ye Chengqian placed great importance on the family.
From his perspective, this was indeed more beneficial to the Ye family, but from the perspective of a father, his actions were far too heartless. From the perspective of Ye Shouxin, his son, Ye Chengqian's decision was even more heartless.
"Great-grandfather, don't you want us anymore?"
"If you kick us out, where will we live?"
Ye Xing 'er asked in confusion. She didn't understand. Didn't Great-grandfather like her in the past?
Zhuang Yun opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything. She knew that since Ye Chengqian had said this and made such a decision, it was useless for her to say anything more.
Ye Jiang's death was caused by the main branch of the Ye family. If they stayed in the Ye family, it would indeed cause internal strife in the Ye family in the future.
Ye Shouxin gritted his teeth and said, "Father, if you ask us to leave the Ye family and we can't protect ourselves, we'll die!"
"Do you really want to be so heartless?"
Ye Chengqian didn't know that he had perfected Level 4 strength. With Ye Shouxin's current strength, he would have a strong protective ability even if he left. However, from Ye Chengqian's point of view, he was only a late-stage Level 4!
Among the enemies of the Ye family, there were fighters at the peak of Level 4 and perfected Level 4. Even if Ye Shouxin was kicked out of the Ye family, they would still attack him.
Ye Chengqian kicking them out was equivalent to using the hands of his enemies to eliminate the internal strife in the Ye family.
Ye Chengqian said calmly, "Shouxin, when you arrived, I already sent someone to spread the news. You have been kicked out of the Ye family. You can leave now, or you can leave after you finish your meal!"
"You have to leave the Ye family before noon tomorrow. Otherwise, the family will forcefully kick you out!"
Ye Shouxin clenched his fists and looked at Ye Chengqian in disappointment.
Ye Chengqian became a stranger in his eyes.
"Master Ye, when you brought me back to the Ye family, you said that you would take care of me for the rest of my life. You broke your promise!"
"I hope you won't regret kicking us out of the Ye family in the future."
Ye Shouxin said coldly.
Ye Chengqian said indifferently, "Since I've already made my decision, I naturally won't regret it! From the looks of it, you don't want to eat anymore. Then leave. Leave Konoha far away, and you may still be able to live! "
The enemies of the Ye family were all in Konoha, and around Konoha.
"There's no need for Master Ye to worry."
"Let's go."
Ye Shouxin stood up and left without looking back. Zhuang Yun took Ye Xing 'er's little hand and left, while Qin Yang sat on Ye Xing' er's shoulder. From beginning to end, Qin Yang did not say anything.
Qin Yang knew that he had no say in this matter.
If he said that he was a Realm Elf, would Ye Chengqian take back his words and slap his own face?
Ye Chengqian would not do that, and there was a possibility that Ye Chengqian would kill him and get rid of a future threat!
"Mother, does great-grandfather really not want us anymore? Is it because Xing 'er won against Ye Shiqing and the others before, and great-grandfather is unhappy? "
"Grandpa, can Xing 'er go and beg great-grandfather again?"
Back in her courtyard, Ye Xing 'er said somewhat foolishly. She was still young and could not understand why great-grandfather would chase them away. Weren't they family?
Ye Shouxin touched Ye Xing 'er's little head with a trembling hand. "Xing' er, this matter has nothing to do with you. It's a matter between us adults. Don't think too much, okay?"
"Little Jun, you and Xing 'er pack up. We'll move to the courtyard in the east of the city first."
Ye Shouxin was a Level Four master, after all. Even if he was poor, he still had some assets.
He had a courtyard in the eastern suburbs of the city. The area was not very small, about two or three acres. However, the houses here were ordinary, and the prices of the houses here were cheap. The entire courtyard was not worth much.
Originally, this courtyard was used to make it convenient for Ye Shouxin and the others to hunt monsters outside the city. When they returned from outside the city, it was sometimes quite late, and it was more troublesome to return to the Ye residence.
After staying in this courtyard for a night, they could go out of the city early the next morning to continue hunting.
"Yes, father-in-law."
Zhuang Yun nodded.
Ye Shouxin sighed. "It's been hard on you and Xing 'er. The conditions on that side are much worse than here! By the way, ask the servants and see how many of them are willing to leave with us when the time comes! "
"If they're not willing to leave, give them some money."
Given their current situation, it was normal for the servants to be unwilling to leave with them after being chased out by the Ye family.
"Okay!"
Zhuang Yun nodded. Although they did not have much money on hand, it was still possible to give some money to the servants to let them leave!
"Qin Yang, come with me for a while."
Ye Shouxin looked at Qin Yang.
Qin Yang nodded. He followed Ye Shouxin to Ye Shouxin's courtyard. The servants seemed to have received the news, and they all looked terrified.
"If you want to leave, you can look for Little Jun and take some money to leave!"
Ye Shouxin said in a low voice.
After saying that, he entered the study. Qin Yang followed him into the study, and Ye Shouxin closed the door.
"Qin Yang, we've been chased out of the Ye family. Do you know what kind of trouble we'll face next?"
Ye Shouxin frowned.
Qin Yang nodded slightly. "I know. Those who have a grudge against you and were afraid of the Ye family in the past will definitely take action."
"The news of Xing 'er's father's death might not be able to be kept a secret. In the past, the first branch of the Ye family was still afraid. Now, they won't be afraid anymore. Even if people find out that they killed Xing' er's father, it won't be a big deal."
"They might even frame Xing 'er's father and say that he betrayed the family or something. They're just cleaning up the family!"
Ye Shouxin was stunned. He had not thought of this. The first branch of the Ye family would really do something like this!
"Those who have a grudge against the Ye family will also take action."
"Even the people within the Ye family might take action!"
"If Elder Ye was still at your previous level, the chances of us dying would be more than 90%!"
"Even if Elder Ye is at the peak of level 4, we'll still be at risk!"
Ye Shouxin took a deep breath. "That's right. Even if I'm at the peak of level 4, I'll still be at risk. After all, I'm only one person. If our enemies were to take action, there would definitely be more than one!"
"I called you over to ask if there's any way for me to forcefully break through to level 5. Even if it would damage my potential, even if I wouldn't have the chance to reach a higher level in the future, I'd still do it."
Qin Yang was stunned. "Elder Ye, are you sure? With your current situation, even if you don't do this, there's a high probability that you'll be able to break through to level 5 within a month. It's entirely possible for you to become a level 6 expert in the future! "
Ye Shouxin nodded. "I'm sure!"
"Xiao Jiang is dead. Xiao Jun didn't leave. As an elder, how can I let her and Xing 'er be killed? Reaching level 5 is enough. Level 6 is out of the question! "
If he could reach level 6, he would be considered a top expert in the entire Silvermoon Country. Moreover, he would have a lifespan of more than 30 years. This was naturally very attractive to Ye Shouxin. However, he still made this decision.
