CHAPTER 1295: CHAPTER 1295: WHERE’S YOUR SINCERITY? DID YOUR DOG EAT IT? (5 UPDATES)

Yang Yi looked at Yang Sen with some surprise; today’s Yang Sen was truly unusual.

Usually, his arrogance was clear to Yang Yi, evidently knowing that it wouldn’t be easy for him to lower his head.

If it were in the past, Yang Sen would not have forced him like this. But today, it seemed there was no room for compromise.

What kind of potion did this kid feed his father?

Yang Yi gritted his teeth, glancing at Ye Haochuan, cursing inwardly.

He could beg his father for mercy, but to make him lower his head to Ye Haochuan, this ant, was more painful than killing him.

Ye Haochuan met his gaze fearlessly, a cold smile still on his lips.

Ku Hai, witnessing this scene, finally understood why Ye Haochuan had pleaded on Yang Yi’s behalf earlier.

After Bai Qing’s words, even if Ye Haochuan hadn’t said anything, Yang Sen wouldn’t have continued the beating. So Ye Haochuan’s words, though seeming magnanimous, were actually of no use.

But Ye Haochuan’s request was actually a weapon to further strike Yang Yi.

Realizing this, Ku Hai couldn’t help but admire Ye Haochuan’s cunning.

Yang Sen, seeing Yang Yi unresponsive, immediately cursed, "Stubborn as ever! If you don’t apologize today, I, Yang Sen, will not have you as a son!"

"Father, I..."

"Hmph!" Yang Sen gave Yang Yi no chance to evade, turning his head aside with a cold snort.

Yang Yi gritted his teeth, struggling for a long time internally, finally forcing out a cold "sorry".

"Where’s the sincerity? Did your family dog eat it?" Ye Haochuan sneered.

"You..." Yang Yi was nearly infuriated enough to spit blood, but seeing Yang Sen’s cold stare, he swallowed his anger.

"I’m sorry!"

"Feelings are conveyed, but with your head held high, are you apologizing to me or confessing to God? Don’t know how to apologize? Need me to find a three-year-old to teach you?" Ye Haochuan said with a smirk.

Yang Yi’s teeth were nearly ground to powder, taking several deep breaths to calm himself down.

He finally understood, Ye Haochuan would not let him go easily. If he didn’t truly lower his head, the matter today would never end, and if it dragged on, he’d be even more humiliated.

With this thought, Yang Yi finally resolved himself, bowed deeply, and loudly said, "I’m sorry!"

"A true man can yield and stretch. Yi’er, take today’s matter as a lesson! Put away your arrogance, for in this Xuanmen, you have no reason to be arrogant!" Before Ye Haochuan could speak, Yang Sen abruptly interrupted.

Wow, truly an old fox!

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but smirk.

With Yang Sen’s words, even if Ye Haochuan wanted to say more, he found no more words.

Oh well, Yang Yi had already conceded, and the resentment in Ye Haochuan’s heart was finally somewhat relieved.

Thinking of this, Ye Haochuan felt a bit better.

To be honest, this risky calculation against Yang Yi was indeed extremely dangerous. If Yang Sen hadn’t arrived at the last moment, today’s gamble might have ended in great loss.

Seeing father and son no longer at daggers drawn, everyone around them sighed in relief.

"Junior Brother Ye, this matter counts as a favor my Yang Family owes you. Adding your twice saving me, from now on, you are a benefactor to my Yang Family. If you need anything, just say the word!" Yang Sen spoke again.

Ye Haochuan, hearing this, smiled, having already guessed the outcome, but still couldn’t help a ripple of excitement hearing it directly from Yang Sen.

Are you kidding? This is the Yang Family, the first family of the Institute of Extensive Learning. How many treasures are there inside?

Ye Haochuan’s mind began to whirl, suddenly unsure of what to request.

While he was still fantasizing, a person suddenly hurried over, loudly saying, "Director Yang, the Evil Sect seems to show signs of attacking again. Sect Master Ye heard Director Yang has recovered and invites Director Yang to discuss countermeasures!"

"What?" Everyone was immediately shocked, their hearts tightening involuntarily.

The truce had only lasted a few days, and everyone was enjoying this period of peace. Unexpectedly, the Evil Sect was so restless, already showing signs of invasion so soon.

Yang Sen, aware of the urgency, stopped talking to Ye Haochuan and left with Yang Yi and Chang Ding.

Just a few steps out, he suddenly turned to Ye Haochuan, saying, "Junior Brother Ye, interested in coming with me?"

These meetings were only attended by those in real high positions. Those brought along were undoubtedly trusted.

Yang Sen didn’t invite Yang Quan or Bai Qing but included Ye Haochuan, an outsider, letting many detect the unusual tone.

If punishing his descendants earlier could be seen as repaying Ye Haochuan’s life-saving grace, this action was clearly an attempt to win him over.

Ye Haochuan was also a bit surprised, but once he figured out the connection, he didn’t resist. After all, aligning with him, one of the two War Gods, was undoubtedly beneficial without any harm.

"Since Director Yang does not disdain my lowly status, I naturally shouldn’t decline. In fact, I want to learn what this battle preparation looks like." Ye Haochuan smiled.

Ku Hai nearby couldn’t help but smirk, saying, "You’re quite lucky; I’ve been bestowed a genius title, yet haven’t had a chance to attend such high-level meetings!"

"Should I ask Director Yang to take you along?" Ye Haochuan laughed.

Ku Hai promptly waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, those so-called strategies are too boring to listen to. I rather enjoy fighting with all my might."

Ku Hai had no desire to attend, so Ye Haochuan naturally didn’t force him.

Soon, Ye Haochuan followed Yang Sen swiftly to a hall inside a Western-style castle.

The hall was already filled with over a dozen people, who stood to greet Yang Sen, including Ye Hao.

"Brother Yang, seeing you well eases my heart!" Ye Hao exchanged a few pleasantries with Yang Sen, then suddenly turned his gaze to Ye Haochuan, smiling, "Young friend, didn’t expect we’d meet again so soon."

Ye Haochuan suddenly felt a bit flattered, hastily paying respects to the War God.

The others were evidently still unclear about Ye Haochuan’s identity, but clearly favored by the two War Gods, they didn’t dare put on airs, each nodding to Ye Haochuan in acknowledgment.

Damn, having someone backing you is truly amazing!

Inwardly, Ye Haochuan was overjoyed.

These people present were the true high-level figures of Xuanmen. Usually, they wouldn’t even spare him a glance. Now, due to his relations with Yang Sen and Ye Hao, they all extended goodwill towards him.

The urgency of the war left little time for talk; they quickly took their seats. As for Ye Haochuan, he was only qualified to stand behind Yang Sen.

Just as he stood in place, Ye Haochuan felt a cold gaze assessing him.
