Seeing Ye Wujiu with such an expression for the first time, Ye Li couldn't help but be slightly shocked and said: "Grandpa...you..."
Without waiting for Ye Li to finish his words, Ye Wujiu reached out and patted Ye Li's shoulder heavily, then wiped the tears from his face. The guilty look on his face disappeared in an instant.
After he calmed down, he regained his normal expression and said, "We, the grandfather and grandson, cried together.
But now is not the time to compete in front of Ye Hao to see who feels more guilty. There are still many things waiting for us to do in the family.
Ye Li, you must keep in mind what the other person said before he left.
I don't know where that Wanshou Venerable comes from, but he sounds very powerful."
After being interrupted by Ye Wujiu who suddenly appeared, Ye Li's emotions calmed down a lot.
Wiping the tears from his face, Ye Li nodded and said, "Grandpa, I will ask the people from the Travel Merchants Association to help me investigate the matter of Master Wanshou and that Tan Tai Qingfeng. I hope to find out their background first.
We also need to understand what kind of family this Tan Tai family is. We don’t know if we will fight again in the future.
But I hope we won’t fight again. After all, we won’t gain anything from going to war with the Tan Tai family.
Tianqiong County is too far away from us. Even if we destroy the Tantai family, it will only be a favor to others. We still cannot annex the other family."
Ye Wujiu nodded and said, "The other party should have the same idea and will not fight with us easily.
After all, they could still use Ye Tianwu to control us before, but now that Ye Tianwu is gone, if they continue to attack us, they will inevitably suffer losses even if they win.
Moreover, for a fifth-rank family, even if they have the strength to conquer other counties on an expedition, they do not have the strength to stay and control them, so they can only serve as a wedding dress for others. For the Tan Tai family, this is also a thankless task.
However, if there is a first-class force behind the other party, some things will be different. For example, the Golden Turtle Island will definitely be happy to allocate some manpower to set up a branch in Shanhai County."
Ye Li thought for a moment and said, "We still don't know what position Tan Tai Qing Feng holds in Jingui Island. If he is an ordinary disciple, even if his family is destroyed, he will not be affected by the sect.
What the man from the Tantai family said at that time might not be true, and he might just be bluffing. "Ye Wujiu pondered for a moment and said, "No matter what, we'd better be prepared to avoid being caught off guard."
While the two were talking, the team from the Tan Tai family who had left the Ye family looked dejected.
For this expedition, they made a desperate effort and mobilized almost all of the remaining strength of the family, hoping to make a fortune in Shanhai County and restore the family to its vitality as soon as possible.
However, they did not expect that after this trip, not only did they not gain any benefit, but they also lost four masters in the gestation period.
The remaining strength was originally insufficient, and now they have lost half of the masters. The current strength of their Tan Tai family is not considered high even among the sixth-rank families.
“I really can’t understand how the Ye family in that border area could have such a powerful force.
Didn’t they say before that they would only last for three gestation periods at most? How come there are so many more now
And that kid named Ye Li, who looks like he is only in his twenties, actually has the realm of the early and late stages of the fetal development period. I really don’t understand how he can be so powerful.”
A young man from the Tantai family couldn't understand the loss this time and couldn't help but complain.
The leader was named Tan Tai Cang Ming. After hearing Ye Li's name, he thought for a long time, then suddenly looked startled and said, "Oh, I remember now.
I said that Ye Li's name sounds familiar. Isn't he the guy who was specially recruited in Paradise City and qualified for the Imperial City Trial two years ago? "
Hearing his words, the expressions of the other members of the Tan Tai family nearby were all shocked. Most of them realized that they had heard of Ye Li's name.
After all, the news that Ye Li won the qualification to enter the Imperial City in Paradise City had already spread all over the country and became a good story for a while, so his name gradually became known to the world.
"What? That boy is a disciple of the Imperial City. How is Qingfeng going to seek revenge on him?"
A person from the Tantai family said this with a look of reluctance on his face.
Tan Tai Cang Ming glanced at the other party and said, "I said Qing Feng wanted to seek revenge on him, but I just said it on purpose to paralyze the Ye family.
After all, although Qingfeng is nominally the disciple of Venerable Wanshou, in reality his master Gu Bieli can basically say nothing in front of Venerable Wanshou and is just an ordinary disciple.
Gu Bie Li left Jingui Island and built a Xunxian Cave in Xunxian Mountain. Last time, he took a fancy to Qingfeng and accepted him as his disciple. However, according to Qingfeng, Gu Bie Li accepted disciples in large numbers. He accepted all disciples, regardless of whether they were talented or had a strong family.
So I guess Qingfeng would definitely not be able to seek revenge on Ye Li.
However, we can contact the Xunxian Cave through Qingfeng. If they are willing to send people to help, we can work together to take down the Ye family.
As long as the target of attack is not Ye Li himself, but a fight between families is initiated, the Imperial City will not have anything to say.
Afterwards, we worked together to mine the Ye family's glazed flame crystal iron, gave a large portion to Xunxian Cave, and also left the Ye family's territory to them.
Xunxian Cave has been opening up new territories on the mainland for Jingui Island, and naturally will not let go of the Ye family's territory. They are eager to have fully developed areas for them to operate directly, so our proposal will be very tempting for Xunxian Cave.
As long as we can encourage Xunxian Cave to participate in this incident and declare war on the Ye family in the name of revenge for their father, we won’t offend Emperor City. Then we can make back some of the losses and avenge our dead companions.”
Hearing what Tan Tai Cang Ming said, everyone in the Tan Tai family immediately showed joy on their faces.
They were not willing to go back in disgrace this time. Facing a family whose overall strength was much weaker than their own, it would be extremely aggrieved if they could not even take revenge after suffering such a huge loss.
After the discussion, the Tan Tai family quickened their pace and returned to Tianqiong County.
After this battle, the Ye family suffered no losses except for some damage to the compound.
Ye Changuang and the others also honestly explained what they had done in the past. Except for Pan Bian, the three of them had not harmed the family's interests in any other place.
