American comics: From the black robes to becoming the ultimate Doomsday

"You mean there's something else going on with this birthday celebration for the Li family's ancestor?!" Ye Haichuan asked in surprise.

“It’s not impossible. After all, Ye Fan is Li Qingyue’s husband. And Li Qingyue is a daughter-in-law of the Li family. Logically, she should help her own family! This time, the Li family patriarch is having a big birthday celebration. Who knows what kind of trouble might happen? Ye Fan might be in danger…” Ye Yongxing said.

Ye Haichuan frowned and muttered to himself, "Li Qingyue? How could Li Qingyue be related to Ye Fan... Wait, the birthday of the Ye family's ancestor? Could it be... that this matter is related to the Ye family's jade pendant!"

After a moment of contemplation, Ye Haichuan's expression became uncertain.

"Ye Fan is dead. Li Qingyue will surely be heartbroken. If someone tries to coerce her with that jade pendant, the Li family will be absolutely unable to resist..."

"That makes things much easier..."

"Father! What are you planning to do...?"

Just as Ye Yongxing was about to ask a question, Ye Haichuan waved his hand, signaling him to be quiet.

The next second, Ye Haichuan slowly walked to the entrance of the main hall and shouted into the courtyard, "Someone, please ask Young Master Ye Fan to come to the side room to see me."

The moment Ye Haichuan uttered those words, the entire room fell silent.

Is Ye Haichuan about to announce Ye Fan's death?!

Many people looked at the side room where Ye Fan was with sympathetic expressions.

"Yes, sir!"

From inside the side room, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard.

A short while later, two servants helped Ye Fan, who was covered in blood and barely breathing, out of the side room and into the main hall.

Ye Haichuan glanced at Ye Fan indifferently.

Ye Fan's face was as pale as paper, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his clothes were disheveled, and he looked utterly wretched.

"Does Patriarch Ye need something from me?" Ye Fan asked in a low, hoarse voice, as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper.

Ye Haichuan coughed a few times and said, "I heard you were injured? What happened to you? Are you alright?"

"Thank you for your concern, Patriarch. It's just a minor injury," Ye Fan said.

Ye Haichuan sighed and said, "You don't need to force yourself. Sit down and rest for a while. Don't push yourself."

Ye Fan thanked him and sat down on the chair next to him, silently circulating the "Primordial Heavenly Venerable Chaos Technique" to recover from his injuries.

At this moment, Ye Yongxing couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Young Master Ye Fan, is your injury serious?"

"Hmm, it's alright," Ye Fan said calmly.

"fine?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.

Ye Fan was seriously injured and could not even stand up, yet he said he was fine!

Is this insane?!

Ye Yongxing frowned slightly and continued to ask, "Where did you get injured? How serious is the injury? Does it require treatment?"

"The injury is a bit serious, but it's nothing serious. I'll recover after a little rest!" Ye Fan replied.

Ye Yongxing nodded and said, "That's good since the injuries are nothing to worry about."

"Ye Yongxing, that's enough! Ye Fan is injured like this, why are you still asking so many questions?"

An elder surnamed Ye couldn't help but rebuke him.

"I was just showing concern!" Ye Yongxing muttered, pursing his lips.

"Hmph! Concern? Who do you care about?!"

The Ye family members, including the patriarch Ye Haichuan, all snorted coldly and stared at Ye Yongxing with disdain.

Ye Yongxing said awkwardly, "Brothers, I was just asking casually, why are you all being so fierce! Ye Fan is a member of the Ye family, can't I, as an elder of the Ye family, show him some concern?"

"Hmph! Bah!"

An elder spat and cursed, "Ye Yongxing, Ye Fan is your grandson, yet he's lying in bed half-dead, and you can't even be bothered to ask about him. How can you be so heartless and still have the nerve to mention him!"

Ye Yongxing's face turned bright red.

The reaction of the Ye family members made him feel extremely ashamed.

Ye Yongxing gritted his teeth and said, "Ye Feng..."

"Shut up!!" Ye Feng roared, "If you dare to curse Ye Fan again, get out of here right now!!"

Ye Yongxing paused.

Ye Feng's outburst startled all the clansmen.

However, the tribespeople were not afraid of him.

"What, are you getting angry?" an elderly clan elder surnamed Ye sneered. "Let me tell you, Ye Yongxing, from today onwards, you are no longer a clan elder of my Ye family!"

"You..." Ye Yongxing trembled with anger.

The elder surnamed Ye sneered, "What do you mean, 'you'? If you hadn't driven Ye Feng away back then, he wouldn't just have ended up as someone else's servant; he would probably have starved to death on the streets long ago! My Ye family cannot tolerate such an ungrateful beast!!"

"I no longer wish to keep you in the Ye family. Starting tomorrow, you shall leave the Ye family!"

The clansmen all echoed his sentiments.

Ye Yongxing felt utterly disheartened; this outcome was completely unexpected.

I thought I was a meritorious contributor and a hero of the Ye family, but I never expected to end up like this!

Unwilling!

indignation!

That's unfair!

resentment!

A mix of emotions flooded Ye Yongxing's mind.

Ye Yongxing gritted his teeth and pointed at Ye Haichuan angrily, "Ye Haichuan! It's all your fault!! If it weren't for you, how could I have fallen to such a state!?"

"Oh? What do you mean by that?"

"It's all because of you!! You've ruined the Ye family!!" Ye Yongxing roared. "Do you even know that because you crippled Ye Feng's cultivation aptitude, Ye Feng has completely fallen out of favor! You've destroyed the future of the entire Ye family!!"

"Hahahaha..." Ye Feng suddenly burst into wild laughter.

"Ye Yongxing, what are you laughing at?" Everyone turned to look at Ye Feng.

Ye Yongxing's face turned ashen, and he coldly shouted, "What are you laughing at?!"

"I laugh at your stupidity!" Ye Feng sneered. "Do you really think I'm foolish enough to place my hopes on a piece of trash?!"

"Ye Yongxing, let me tell you! I've already pledged allegiance to the Lin family! Not only have my cultivation been restored, but I've also joined the Lin family's enforcement team and become a member of it!!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Chapter 237

Lin!

This is one of the most prestigious families in Beiling City!

"Ye Feng, what nonsense are you spouting?!" Ye Yongxing glared at Ye Feng.

He never expected that Ye Feng would betray the Ye family and side with the Lin family!

"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you'll soon find out!"

Ye Feng's words revealed unwavering certainty and confidence.

Ye Haichuan raised his eyebrows.

He looked at Ye Feng, as if trying to confirm whether he was lying.

"Third Brother, don't doubt it, it's true!" Ye Yongxing transmitted his voice to Ye Haichuan, "When I was chatting with Ye Feng just now, he told me that after joining the Lin family, he can receive a monthly salary of two hundred gold coins!! Two hundred gold coins!! That's more than half a year's wages for an ordinary person!!"

Ye Yongxing became more and more excited as he spoke, his voice growing louder and louder, "And also, the Lin family's law enforcement team is incredibly powerful. If I kill someone, the Lin family can guarantee that I'll escape punishment!!"

Ye Haichuan frowned and transmitted his voice to Ye Yongxing: "Second brother, can the Lin family's law enforcement team really help you evade punishment?"

"Third Brother, you don't understand!" Ye Yongxing said mysteriously, "As far as I know, the highest authority in Beiling City is the Lin Family Law Enforcement Agency, which is in charge of all punishments! However, unless the mistake is too great, or some elders of the Lin Family Law Enforcement Agency are protecting their own, the law enforcement team will never vouch for anyone!"

"So, if Ye Feng's backer really is the Lin family's law enforcement agency, then we really can't do anything to him!"

After hearing Ye Yongxing's telepathic message, Ye Haichuan suddenly realized the truth and secretly rejoiced that he hadn't done anything to Ye Feng.

"Ye Feng, have you really joined the Lin family?" Ye Haichuan asked, his eyes flashing. "The Lin family's Law Enforcement Bureau is the highest law enforcement agency in Beiling City. They can represent the government and possess supreme authority. How dare you collude with the Lin family? What crime should you be charged with?!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's face immediately showed a mocking expression.

"Ye Haichuan, stop spreading alarmist rumors. What do you mean by representing the government? I have no idea. Do you think the government of Beiling City belongs to your Ye family?" Ye Feng sneered. "I advise you not to provoke me, or I won't hesitate to drag you down with me!"

Ye Haichuan's eyelids twitched. "How dare you! You traitor, kneel down right now!!"

"Kneel down to your mother's ass!" Ye Feng cursed, then suddenly tightened his grip on Ye Yongxing's shoulder, crushing Ye Yongxing's shoulder bone with a crisp "crack".

"Ah..." Ye Yongxing screamed in excruciating pain, "Help!"

Ye Feng kicked Ye Yongxing away and said coldly, "You piece of trash, you dare to try to seize my inheritance? You're dreaming! If you know what's good for you, get out of the Ye family right now!"
