CHAPTER 633: CHAPTER 0551: IGNORANT AND UNSKILLED

"Someone has intruded, I heard the guard team has already been broken!"

Ye Lei replied.

"Oh?"

Ordinary people would certainly be greatly unsettled upon hearing this news, but Ye Zhenkun remained seated, displaying a composed demeanor.

"Who is bold enough to dare intrude into the Ye Family?"

The middle-aged man in scholar’s robes stood up, with a gentle smile, yet not showing any panic.

In the next moment, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

Two figures flew in from outside, directly crashing into the Ye Family’s main hall, revealing themselves as two guards.

The two were knocked unconscious on the spot.

The few people were all astonished. Even Ye Zhenkun exhibited a bit of surprise.

A young and upright figure stepped into the hall, looking indifferently at Ye Zhenkun sitting at the head, with a calm voice echoing in the hall.

"You wanted to see me, so I am here!"

"Speak quickly, if it’s nonsense..."

"I don’t have time to listen!"

The young man’s face was cold, but even facing Ye Zhenkun’s powerful aura, his expression remained unchanged, looking at him calmly.

Upon seeing the young man’s face, the crowd was instantly stunned.

"Xiao Feng?"

The scholarly middle-aged man was incredulous. This young man who stepped through the door was none other than his nephew, his second brother Ye Yan’s son?

"Uncle, long time no see!"

Ye Qingfeng nodded with a smile. This scholarly middle-aged man was his uncle, Ye Miao, the successor to the next head of the Ye Family.

Ye Miao had always treated him well. He had great respect and love for this uncle.

"Xiao Feng, did you do this?"

Ye Lei glanced outside, where a group of guards lay in disarray, groaning in agony; the scene was spectacular.

"I wanted to come in, they tried to stop me, so I conveniently helped the Ye Family clean up some trash!"

He looked at Ye Zhenkun, who sat at the head, and grinned: "Old fellow, the Ye Family’s guards can be replaced!"

"This lot is too weak!"

Ye Zhenkun’s gaze was fixed on Ye Qingfeng. Over the years, the rambunctious aura on Ye Qingfeng had disappeared, replaced by a steadiness and silence.

In the past, Ye Qingfeng would instinctively feel timid and afraid when facing him, but now Ye Qingfeng exuded a fearless aura that was hard to underestimate.

Ye Zhenkun did not get angry because Ye Qingfeng called him "old fellow." He glanced outside the hall, and realization dawned on him.

"Could this young man have taken down all those guards?"

He was stunned at heart. These guards almost all possessed the strength of advanced war master martial artists, with several leading captains even having the power of primary war generals. How could Ye Qingfeng, who was a playboy years ago, have defeated so many experts alone in these years?

Ye Shan and Ye Lei were equally shocked. They were both at the peak war general level and could defeat hundreds of advanced war master martial artists but never in such a short time. Where did Ye Qingfeng get such strength?

Ye Zhenkun calmed his emotions and then looked at Ye Qingfeng.

"Did you do all of this?"

Ye Qingfeng gave him a cold look and said calmly, "If you’re going to ask such nonsense, then there’s no need to speak!"

He turned to leave, but Ye Shan and Ye Lei quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"Xiao Feng, how can you speak to your second grandpa like this!"

They both gave him a meaningful look.

"Second Grandpa?" Ye Qingfeng chuckled, turning his head, "I’m not a member of the Ye Family. You guys should just keep calling him that yourself!"

Ye Miao opened his mouth but couldn’t speak. He had been present back then and naturally knew how much resentment Ye Qingfeng had in his heart for the patriarch.

Ye Lei and Ye Shan actually couldn’t hold Ye Qingfeng back. He had already slipped from their grasp and was walking out the door.

"Xiao Feng, wait a moment!"

At this time, Ye Zhenkun’s aged voice called out, with a touch of softness.

He had never used such a tone when speaking to Ye Qingfeng before.

Ye Qingfeng paused momentarily, turned around, and faced Ye Zhenkun.

"Speak!"

Ye Zhenkun stood up and walked towards Ye Qingfeng, placing his aged hand on Ye Qingfeng’s shoulder for the first time.

Ye Qingfeng suddenly realized that Ye Zhenkun had aged a lot compared to the previous years.

"Xiao Feng, over the years, I have thought a lot too!" Ye Zhenkun sighed, "You are a descendant of the Ye Family, this is indisputable, the blood of the Ye Family flows in your veins."

"I called you here today because I want you to return."

"Although the Ye Family is powerful now, there are very few usable people among the collateral branches. Only Ye Lei and Ye Shan are worthy of reliance."

"But the two of them alone cannot manage such a large family business, so I hope you return. You three brothers are all direct descendants of the Ye Family. Together, you can develop and prosper the Ye Family. This way, I can rest in peace!"

Ye Zhenkun’s tone was slightly grave, moving Ye Shan and Ye Lei, stirring their hearts, but Ye Qingfeng still looked at him indifferently.

He gently removed Ye Zhenkun’s hand, sneering, "No, I, Ye Qingfeng, am just a mere prodigal, a useless person. The Ye Family’s vast business is not something I can handle!"

Ye Zhenkun looked back at him and earnestly said, "Xiao Feng, back then, my tone was too harsh, but you were indeed too unambitious!"

"I, as an old man, have always had a keen eye for people. Your father’s talent was exceptional, and you inherited half of his excellent genes. If you had focused from a young age and let him strictly guide you, your achievements now would certainly surpass Brother Shan and Brother Lei, you might even surpass Wei Wuming, but you wasted such great talent. How could I not be angry?"

His tone tightened, his eyes showing a bit of regret.

Ye Qingfeng was stunned, a bit surprised at heart. He hadn’t expected Ye Zhenkun to hold him in such high regard.

"Maybe that is how you see it!" Ye Qingfeng turned his head, "You can be angry, you can lecture me, you can look down on me, but you shouldn’t have taken your anger out on my parents!"

"Wasting talent and being uneducated, that’s my issue, what does it have to do with my parents?"

Ye Qingfeng’s voice turned cold, remembering the situation of his parents at that time, when Ye Zhenkun was so arrogant.

When Ye Qingfeng mentioned his parents, Ye Zhenkun’s expression instantly changed.

"Humph!" His previous softness disappeared completely, laughing coldly, "If it weren’t for her, your father would already have been allied with the Gong Family of the Extraordinary Realm, such a great power that all forces in the Mortal World look up to, but your father chose a girl from a small family. Not only I, but your grandpa, the elders of the Ye Family, all opposed it."

"Look, what state has it put our Ye Family in now?"

"Your father chose her, causing public outrage, and what did she do in the end? Indulged you in your unruly behavior, lavishing you with baseless love, squandering your entire talent, depriving the Ye Family of a top talent. What wrong was I in reprimanding her?"

Ye Zhenkun left no room for rebuttal, each word louder than the last, evidently reigniting his temper.
