Ye Zitian looked at his second sister and said, “You … have decided to go out?”
“Yes, I want to go take a look. You’ve all been talking about Qin City, so I plan to go see it for myself. Besides, I heard that the Chen family and our Ye family don’t get along very well?”
“Well … it’s not too bad. Sooner or later, we’ll have to face off. Ye Tianqiang will definitely come back to fight again, but it’s tough for him—preparing so many talented people for his useless son?”
Ye Ziyue said, “Oh? Who are they?”
“Cao Zijin, and recently the very prominent Jin Lan. Right now, Qin City is in an uproar—Life-Extending Decoction, and even a drug that allows people to redevelop. Honestly, the reason the Chen family has managed to hold on this time is really thanks to this prescription.”
“I know about the Life-Extending Decoction. It’s very useful and meaningful. Wasn’t it created by someone named Ye Aotian? A child from a branch of our Ye family?”
“A child from Grandpa’s generation, so he does carry the bloodline of our Ye family.”
“Then he should be able to inherit the Ye family’s property, right?”
Ye Zitian said, “That’s only natural. Rules are rules, and the family code cannot be violated. But tonight, Zifeng will have a match with him. He told me about it, and I plan to go see if anything happens.”
“Okay, go ahead. After all, they’re brothers. On my side, I’ll have Ye Zimei take me there.”
Ye Zitian nodded, then went to arrange a plane and left first.
Ye Zimei pushed her older sister and said, “Sis, why did you suddenly decide to go?”
“Hm, guess? If you can’t figure it out, don’t call yourself my little sister.”
Ye Zimei naturally guessed it and said, “I didn’t expect there’d be a story about you too. This really surprises me. Sis, do you think Ye Aotian might like you?”
“He probably would. After all, beyond three generations, there’s no issue. But theoretically, I’m still his cousin.”
“Then, Sis, who are you going to see? Chen Fan, or Ye Aotian?”
“I’m going to see Cao Zijin. I want to know what kind of charm the person she chose has, to make Cao Zijin help him so much. If I’m disappointed, then Cao Zijin has no qualifications to talk to me.”
Ye Zimei said, “Don’t worry, I’m sure it’ll be very interesting.”
The Ye family’s duels have always been something people talk about with relish. The reason the Ye family has remained powerful is entirely due to this ‘gu-raising’ mode of cultivation.
Whoever is the strongest can inherit the position of the Ye family head. Not only that, they can even freely deal with others. But they’re not allowed to use methods that end someone’s lineage. In other words, you can punish others as much as you want, but if you leave them without descendants, it becomes a serious matter.
Such cases would be directly judged by the family’s arbitration team. The arbitration team consists of martial arts experts trained from childhood, with young members in every generation.
Ye Ziyue and Ye Zimei walked outside, and behind them followed a man wearing a mask.
Ghost Face—that was this person’s name. He was also one of the new generation’s arbitrators.
“Are you calling me here to be a referee?”
“Yes, and also for protection, of course. I hope you can ensure both of them survive. I don’t want to see anyone get hurt.”
“That’s a given. Protecting the lives of every Ye family member is our duty as arbitrators.”
Ye Zimei said, “Give us a smile. I’m really curious—what do you look like under that mask?”
“It has nothing to do with you. Wearing a mask is just a personal preference of mine.”
“Hm, I know, but why are you a girl?”
“Can’t a woman be an arbitrator?”
It’s not that they can’t.
Ye Zimei said, “I’m just curious. My sister requested an arbitrator to accompany us, but why did you volunteer to take this task? Is there some secret in Qin City? I’m really curious—what’s worth you personally going to check out?”
“You’re so nosy. Honestly, no wonder none of the arbitrators have taken a liking to you.”
Ye Zimei said, “Then I can just get help from outsiders, right? It’s not forbidden, is it?”
Both fell silent. Sure enough, Ye Zimei was a lunatic.
Meanwhile, Qin City was still shrouded in heavy rain. Countless people looked at the rain, pondering the events of the night. Nighttime would probably come early, and when it did, quite a few people would show up. Some forces would also emerge to watch this duel.
Basically, every Ye family duel attracted a lot of attention. This was also to set the stage for the subsequent plot, introducing many characters.
The entertainment subplot would continue. In the later developments, the protagonist would rise from the entertainment subplot. With a blockbuster movie, Ye Aotian would instantly become someone envied by countless people.
Many would become his fans. And with fame, Ye Aotian would be noticed, along with some matters related to the Ye family. By then, Ye Aotian would’ve gained his greatest backer to date—the Ye family.
As long as Ye Aotian carried the Ye family’s bloodline, he could inherit some of the Ye family’s martial arts, study at the Ye family, and even receive a certain allocation of resources.
This was inevitable. It was also a rule that had always existed in the Ye family. This rule was the reason the Ye family continued to thrive.
Because the family head changed every generation and was unpredictable, outsiders had no way to target them. And precisely because of this competitive relationship, these people were always formidable.
But there were curious onlookers too. For instance, plenty of people would come to watch the fight tonight—mostly idle members of prominent families.
The truly bizarre bunch.
This was also one of the author’s ideas—hoping to set up a lot of groundwork. But in reality, not that much would actually be written.
If everything were written out, the author’s brain cells would probably burn out. In fantasy terms, which subplot doesn’t feature a few geniuses? If there were no geniuses, how’s the protagonist supposed to level up or slap faces?
Looking at the phone, a photo came through.
“Handsome guy, let me introduce you to a gorgeous girl. Get to know her.”
Chen Fan glanced at it, silently turned off his phone, and opened the window. He felt like he should just jump. Seriously, this way he’d reincarnate and start over. Screw your second uncle.
“Go to hell, Ye Zimei. Die, you witch, you shameless woman, you … Arghhh, I’m going to strangle you!”
Ye Zimei replied with a giggle, “Thanks for the compliments, my buddy.”
[These female leads are all a bit unhinged, seriously. This bunch is toxic, right?]
[I’m now deeply aware that my world is broken. This world is completely messed up. Are you all following a script or what?]
What’s going on? What happened to make him so angry?
What’s this about? Who showed up now?
[Ye Ziyue, damn it, if your legs don’t work, isn’t it better to stay home and read? Can’t you come out when we actually need you?]
[Damn it, you’re only the third female lead later on. Is this really necessary? My head hurts, my head hurts.]
[Ah, forget it. You’ve got it rough, so I won’t say much. I’ll respect you a bit. But … you … I want to curse someone. It’s all Ye Zimei’s fault.]
[All of you go die! When you’re on that plane, I hope a lightning bolt strikes you all dead. Seriously, not a single one of you should survive.]
In urban infinite novels, harem stories often featured several female leads, but the appearance of these leads was always accompanied by other female leads.
