Chapter 1080: Come with Trouble

“That is why cultivators like you can take the best use of Heaven Climbing Dan. The dan beads will unleash all the effects.

“However, those who don’t have strong mindsets, and only want to upgrade one’s levels by taking dan beads will get very little. Instead, they will put themselves into many potential dangers. Any mistakes could lead them to death both physically and mentally.”

“We are both experienced cultivators. We both know that a higher cultivation level doesn’t make a cultivator more powerful. A newly born baby who has a million years of cultivation can be easily killed by an ordinary person. It won’t take much effort.”

“We must not misunderstand this,” Ye Xiao said.

Han Bingxue nodded and agreed.

...

The night was undoubtedly a night of celebration for Ye Shuqing’s family. However, when the light of dawn shined, the world the next morning, some disharmonious voice sounded in a hurry.

Many people gathered in front of Gramp Ye’s place.

They were all elites of Ye Clan, who were now gathering in Gramp Ye’s yard. There were at least a hundred of them.

Some of them looked nervous and anxious, some others were gloomy, while the rest were hostile.

The hostile ones represented more than half of the people.

Forefather Ye Tianchen wasn’t among them because he had been injured and was resting. Eight of the nine elders take presence.

The men who were in the same generation as Gramp Ye were all here. People who were the same age as Ye Nantian, except a few who had died, were all here too.

Most of the younger generation, who were the same age as Ye Xiao, didn’t come. Only over a dozen of them were present.

This should be an event among the older generations. It was meaningless to let the youngsters attend it.

Ye Xiao was in his own room, observing those people with his spiritual mind.

He believed his father and grandfather were quite sociable in the clan.

There was no doubt about it. As there were both good and bad lucks, there were also good and bad social intercourses!

Over eighty percent of the one hundred more people were with hostility!

“If I kill all of the eighty percent...” Ye Xiao thought of it.

“Your father will probably kill you. What do you think if I make the killing? A super powerful figure does it, then your father won’t say a word against it.” Han Bingxue squinted at him.

“No. Really unnecessary!” Ye Xiao humphed and said, “If I kill those people, my father will take me to a small room...”

“He will beat you up hard even not to kill you, right?” Han Bingxue asked.

“Brother, you do lack of imagination. Why don’t you see it in a good side? He will prepare a full table of good meal and fine liquor and say, ‘well done my son, well done!’ And we will dine!” Ye Xiao gloated.

Han Bingxue was speechless. After a while, he said, “I don’t believe it! I can only say that you have too much imagination in your head. How can you picture it like that? Impressive! Frightening! Lunatic! Unspeakable!”

...

Outside the room.

Somebody talked to Ye Nantian, who was coming out to greet them, “Ye Nantian, I heard that your son has come home.”

Ye Nantian gave a pretending smile and answered, “That’s true. Why?”

The middle-aged man pretended to smile too. “Nothing. I wonder why a youngster doesn’t come see his family when he comes home. Is he too terrified to see us, or too ashamed?”

Ye Nantian sneered. “Nothing indeed. What kind of family do you think you are? How could my son be the ashamed one? This is not funny!”

Another person raged up, “Ye Nantian, what do you mean? The entire clan was made a scapegoat because of your romantic debt! We were nearly destroyed! Now your son comes back, and you actually show us such an attitude? After the years down the lower world, you did enhance your shamelessness, didn’t you?”

Ye Nantian laughed loudly, “You have no idea. My golden shameless face art is in an incredible level! I literally won’t have anybody in my eyes! So what? Do you dislike me now? Why don’t you come and hit me? Welcome! Oh, wait... Do you really dare?”

In the guest room, Han Bingxue clicked his tongue and praised, “Your father is more like an ostentatious person than others. An ostentatious person would only boast in ninety-nine percent, yet your father boasts the additional one percent, and made it even two percent, three percent, and even four percent.” [1]

Ye Xiao humphed and glared at him.

He genuinely wanted to respond with ‘your father is an ostentatious person! You families all boast the additional one, two, three, four percent!’

The guy outside continued in a fierce tone, “Ye Nantian, as I understand, you mean... your son is not one of our clan and does not share the same blood with us? What if your son did something stupid and messed with some influential figures who will eventually destroy our clan, you are still indifferent and even enjoy it?”

Ye Nantian laughed loudly, “If that happens, I will make a big feast for my son and raise my glass to tell him, ‘Well done, my son. Well done! Bravo! Great job’!”

The crowd burst in a surprised uproar when they heard him.

Han Bingxue was stunned. He never thought that what Ye Xiao just said was actually the truth. After a while, he said to Ye Xiao with admiration, “Good for you!”

Ye Nantian’s words lit the fuse. The yard burst into chaos. People all started to attack him with all kinds of abusive words. Ye Nantian just kept showing them a disdainful face with a cold smile.

Ye Shuqing looked nervous and gloomy. He spoke to Ye Nantian in a low voice, “Why did you provoke them?”

Ye Nantian showed a weird smile and said, “Father, do you think that if I didn’t provoke them and stoop to compromise, they will let go of Xiao Xiao?”

Gramp Ye was shocked. Was Ye Nantian wrong?

No!

Gramp Ye’s choice in the old days had shown the outcome of stooping low!

Those men were here for a simple reason. They were here to see what Ye Nantian’s son was like. If his son seemed to have potential, they would target him as the first person they needed to take care of!

After all, Ye Xiao had another identity in the clan. He was the lawful prior grandson of the clan. He had a natural right to inherit the power of the clan. It was a potential threat to all of the others!

“It is a dangerous time for the clan. Now that your son is back, why doesn’t he think of contributing to the clan? His father only draws misfortunes to the clan. Is he also a coward?” a middle-aged man abruptly shouted.

Ye Nantian’s face twitched. He said, “My son never learned any martial art of Ye Clan. Why does he have to make a contribution to this clan? Now how does he do it?”

That middle-aged man was wordless, but he still wouldn’t give up, “Even though he didn’t learn the martial art, he should still contribute in some way! Otherwise, do you want the clan to feed him for nothing in return? There is no way he can only get fed but do nothing! Even though he is the prior grandson, he still can’t!”

Ye Nantian’s face was turning colder.
