God of War Ye Fan: Sexy sister-in-law insisted on marrying me - Chapter 816 - 816: Where's Your Pride? No More Moral Integrity?
He had practiced for over a hundred years!
It was not easy to cultivate to the strength of the Martial Saint Realm, but to seek out Fan Ye and fight to the death? Just like the Wu Family Ancestor, to be erased?
What was he really after?
Originally, after receiving Prince Jin’s order yesterday, Cao Shang was somewhat tempted.
After all, the conditions offered by Prince Jin were very generous; he even planned to introduce these ancestors to the bigwigs of the Soul Hall behind him, perhaps gaining some legacy of the Soul Hall to further improve his strength.
But because Cao Shang was in closed-door cultivation last night at a critical step, he was delayed by two hours.
By the time Cao Shang finished, and he wanted to look for Fan Ye, he had already received the message that the Wu Family Ancestor had been killed at a banquet of the Hua Family… Mu Family Ancestor had submitted to Fan Ye, the upper echelons of the Black Clothes Society were annihilated at the Mu Family, Yan Family Ancestor had also been killed…
After hearing this news, Cao Shang immediately shrank back in shock!
Although not everything was done by Fan Ye himself, when combining all these messages, each incident was related to Fan Ye somehow.
With Fan Ye being so powerful and having such terrifying backers, who would provoke Fan Ye and not seek death?
“So elder, are you suggesting that we should submit to Fan Ye? But if we submit to Fan Ye, how would we explain ourselves to Prince Jin?”
“Yes! Although Prince Jin is temporarily in retreat, we heard that Prince Jin has already received the legacy from the bigwigs of the Soul Hall, and his strength might have reached the Martial Saint Peak… afraid that Fan Ye might not be a match for Prince Jin then?”
“I think so too. Prince Jin has been managing for many years, being a core member of the royal family, his means are definitely strong! In the entire Great Xia, probably only the Ye Family can compete with Prince Jin, but isn’t the Ye Family already down? Even King Cheng was embroiled in strife with Prince Jin before, and he died a terrible death, leaving behind Princess Consort Chu Lanwei, now coveted by many!”
In the hall, these core disciples of the Cao Family were all discussing.
In fact, everyone was conflicted!
They feared that after Prince Jin came out of retreat, he would seek revenge if they submitted to Fan Ye now. But if they didn’t submit, how were they supposed to face Fan Ye if he came attacking?
No one wanted to take this responsibility!
Hearing everyone’s discussion, Cao Family Ancestor Cao Shang instantly scoffed, “Submit? Hmph! Impossible… How could a man of my age submit to a yellow-haired boy? If you want to submit, go ahead. I will just not oppose it…”
Cao Shang was being slippery!
Clearly, his intention was, I will not offend anyone; you all fight it out, and whoever wins in the end, I will just support them.
However, as everyone was absorbed in their own conversation, they did not notice that at some point, a young man had appeared sitting on the second-floor window ledge, holding a cup of water and smiling at the scene below.
That man could only be Ye Fan!
The elder’s stance clearly dissatisfied the Cao Family disciples; everyone quarreled into a mess, but even after a long quarrel, no definitive decision was reached.
Ye Fan could no longer stand watching, “I say… aren’t you supposed to be a Supreme Family, and yet discussing such a small affair is this troublesome?”
Ye Fan’s stern shout stunned all the members of the Cao Family present!
Hmm?
Whose voice was that, where did the sound come from?
Today’s meeting was the highest level of internal family meeting of the Cao Family, the entire family was under martial law, and there were several layers of bodyguards arranged outside the venue. If someone had broken in, how could there have been no movement?
All the Cao Family disciples looked around, searching for a long time, yet saw no one.
Still, Cao Shang and Cao Yuan, being stronger, immediately spotted Ye Fan sitting on the second-floor window ledge from the direction of the sound.
“Fan Ye… I swear…”
Cao Shang, who was originally holding a teacup, let out an exclamation the moment he saw Ye Fan, his teacup dropping to the floor as he staggered and fell to the ground.
Thud!
Without any hesitation, Cao Shang immediately knelt in the direction of Ye Fan, “Cao Family Ancestor Cao Shang, pays respects to Young Master Fan! I have no intention of being an enemy to Young Master Fan, please spare my life!”
This action was neat and decisive,
flowing like running water as if rehearsed in advance.
“…”
???
The Cao Family core disciples present at the scene were all stunned by what they saw.
What about your face?
Elder Ancestor, what about your face?
Who was it just now that said we would absolutely not surrender to Fan Ye?
Darn it!
Once the real deal shows up, you kneel faster than anyone else… isn’t this utterly shameless?
It’s not that these core disciples of the Cao Family had any high morals… the main issue was that, by kneeling so suddenly, the Elder Ancestor made all other actions of Cao Family core disciples seem slow, making it appear as if they were lacking sincerity!
Not devout enough!
“I, along with others, pay our respects to Young Master Fan! The Cao Family has no intention of being enemies with Young Master Fan, please spare our lives!”
Whoosh!
Following Cao Shang, a large group of Cao Family core disciples also knelt down before Ye Fan.
Only Cao Yuan and a dozen or so Cao Family core disciples beside him were somewhat at a loss for whether to laugh or cry!
“You… are all such spineless cowards? If it was going to be like this, then what were we even discussing before?” Cao Yuan was utterly frustrated; he had called everyone together because he was uncertain.
As it turned out, these people from the Cao Family all had their own agendas.
“Family Head, let’s surrender! We are merely a family involved in intelligence, not a Martial Arts combat family… there is no way we can outfight Young Master Fan.”
“Right! Didn’t you see, Miss Hua of the Hua Family, she’d rather share a man with others than give the Hua Family as a dowry to Young Master Fan?”
“The Ancient Martial Fang Family also submitted, those Ancient Martial families couldn’t outdo them, how could we be their match?”
Some subordinates beside Cao Yuan continued to persuade him!
Cao Yuan gave a bitter smile, “I know all too well, it’s just that this change came too abruptly… Alas…”
Cao Yuan looked over towards Ye Fan!
At that moment, Ye Fan was somewhat surprised by the actions of the Cao Family Elder Ancestor!
After all, being a combatant of the Martial Saint Realm, such an easy surrender seemed too cowardly.
But precisely because of this, Ye Fan became even more cautious… surrendering too quickly was not a good thing!
Whoosh!
The Martial Arts Qi around Ye Fan fluctuated and he swiftly leapt down from the second-floor balcony, walking up to Cao Yuan and staring at him intensely, “Family Head Cao, share your thoughts?”
Cao Yuan’s expression darkened, “Young Master Fan, what thoughts could I possibly have at this point? Alas… most of our Cao Family have chosen Young Master Fan, we can only board Young Master Fan’s ship now, alas…”
Did Cao Yuan even have a choice?
Not at all!
From the moment Ye Fan appeared, there were no choices left!
Defying Ye Fan might just mean death!
“Family Head Cao, don’t force yourself… betraying Prince Jin could have serious consequences, you must follow your heart, understand?” Ye Fan stared intensely at Cao Yuan, his face smiling but his piercing gaze causing Cao Yuan’s body to tremble uncontrollably.
Follow my heart?
My heart my ass!
Dare I?
Can I?
