Chapter 2309
byYang Kai smiled slightly and said, “Everyone understands the truth, but few can actually do it.”
Shi Cangying looked at him and said, “I think you’re not bad. Since you can say those words, you must also understand the principles. In that case, I’ll just say it straight…” At this point, his expression sank and he waved his hand, “Qianye Sect doesn’t welcome you. You should go back where you came from.”
“Vice Sect Master Shi！” Ye Hen couldn’t help but shout coldly, with anger all over his face.
Yang Kai was invited by Ye Jinghan with great difficulty to repair the cross-border spatial array. If it can really succeed, Qianye Sect will surely turn over a new leaf and no longer have to live in such a sorry state as before. This is a top-level event related to the future of the sect. If not for this, how could he come out to greet Yang Kai and the others in person? But what he never expected was that Shi Cangying would actually want to ruin this good thing. How could he not be angry?
Ye Jinghan’s pretty face also sank, and she looked at Shi Cangying and said, “Uncle Shi, Young Master Yang is a friend invited by me. Please be more polite to them.”
Shi Cangying sneered and said, “Of course I will be polite to a true friend, but I don’t want to see those who will bring disaster to the sect. Let them go.”
Ye Jinghan shouted coquettishly, “Impossible！ Uncle, you should apologize to Young Master Yang quickly.”
“Presumptuous！” Shi Cangying was furious and stared at Ye Hen, saying, “Sect Master, is this the good daughter you taught？ She is so disrespectful and shouts at her uncle. What kind of decency is this！”
Ye Hen said with a sullen face, “Jinghan has always been gentle and kind. If she is angry, there must be a reason for it.”
“You… you…” Shi Cangying’s beard trembled in a rage, looking furious.
“It seems that… the appearance of this young master has caused some disharmonious voices in your sect.” Yang Kai touched his nose and smiled.
“Boy, stop talking sarcastic remarks here.” Shi Cangying shouted in a low voice, looking at Yang Kai with an unhappy face.
Yang Kai smiled and said, “Old sir, you are already of a great age. Don’t be so easily angry. Anger harms the body.”
“Don’t come here to shed crocodile tears. If you are really Ye girl’s friend, you should think about her and leave Thousand Leaves Sect quickly. That’s the right way.” Shi Cangying seemed to be determined to drive Yang Kai away. He didn’t hide his thoughts at all and kept repeating the same thing.
Yang Kai smiled and said, “I already told you not to get angry. A few days ago, an old guy named Ke Tian also got angry in front of me, and then… he died！”
As soon as these words came out, Shi Cangying’s complexion suddenly changed. He vigilantly took a few steps back and exclaimed in horror, “What do you want to do？”
Although Yang Kai’s words were concise and to the point, without the slightest hint of threat, they made Shi Cangying’s hair stand on end when he heard them. A cold sweat soaked his clothes. Even Ye Hen’s complexion suddenly changed, as if he was afraid that Yang Kai would take action here.
They had both received the news that Yang Kai had killed many people in the City Lord’s Mansion, including Ke Tian of the Tianji Palace. They originally didn’t dare to believe it, but now that they heard him say it with their own ears, they had to believe it.
Yang Kai sneered and said, “According to the old gentleman’s previous concept, the strong are respected and strength is king. This young master is stronger than you. Then you should be more obedient in front of this young master. If not… this young master doesn’t mind letting you know the gap between us.”
When Chi Yue heard this, she immediately fanned the flames on the side and said, “Young Master Yang is a big tree. Do you want to lean on it, old man？ Don’t miss this opportunity. You will regret it if you do.”
Ghost Ancestor chuckled and said, “If you have a granddaughter or daughter or something, you can also marry them all to Young Master Yang as concubines. Don’t be in the midst of good fortune without knowing it.”
Ayo and Chiyue immediately glared at him and said in unison, “Brother, do you still want someone to support you in your old age in the future？”
Ghost Ancestor had a cold sweat on his face and said with a forced smile, “Consider it unsaid by me.”
The few people’s words were laced with thorns and sarcasm, which made Shi Cangying’s old face turn green and red for a while, and his source power surged, as if he was about to take action immediately. But when he thought that even Ke Tian had died at Yang Kai’s hands and the true strength of this young man couldn’t be judged by his cultivation level at all, he was panicked in his heart and didn’t dare to take action rashly. He was so aggrieved in his heart that he almost vomited blood. He could only grit his teeth and shouted angrily at Ye Hen, “Sect Master. Do you just watch these outsiders humiliate the deputy sect master of this sect and do nothing？”
Ye Hen said in a deep voice, “Brother Shi, if you really consider the sect, stop here. Young Master Yang is a friend invited by Jinghan and is also a guest of this sect. This sect doesn’t have such a way of treating guests！”
“You…” Shi Cangying glared angrily at Ye Hen, suppressed the surging blood in his heart, and shouted, “Since the Sect Master treats my good intentions as a donkey’s liver and lungs, then please the Sect Master take care of himself！”
After saying that, he turned around, flicked his sleeves and left, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that Shi Cangying really left like this, Ye Jinghan couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief and looked at Yang Kai with some apology and said, “Young Master Yang…”
As soon as she spoke, she suddenly stopped, and her eyes were filled with horror, because at this moment, Yang Kai was looking at her coldly, with an extremely unhappy expression.
“Miss Ye, give me an explanation. If it doesn’t satisfy this young master, then this young master will turn around and go home. I’m sorry I can’t accompany you anymore！” Yang Kai said coldly.
He was also full of anger.
Originally, it was because Ye Jinghan pestered him that he had to agree to come to Thousand Leaves Sect with her and help them repair that cross-border spatial array. But he didn’t expect that before even entering the sect, he was given a show of strength by the deputy sect master. Although in the end, he didn’t suffer any losses or lose any face, Yang Kai was still not happy.
If it wasn’t for the fact that this trip coincidentally led to the discovery of Chi Yue and the others, and Ye Jinghan could also be considered to have some merit, Yang Kai wouldn’t have bothered to talk to them at all. With the attitude and tone that Shi Cangying had just shown, he would have already directly attacked and killed people.
And over there, upon hearing what Yang Kai said, both Ye Jinghan and Ye Hen’s expressions changed drastically. Ye Jinghan said in horror： “Young Master Yang, please calm your anger. My uncle has always been at odds with my father, so that’s why…”
Ye Hen patted Ye Jinghan’s shoulder, interrupting her words. Looking at Yang Kai, he sighed and said, “Young Master Yang is so angry, and Ye can understand. It is Ye who didn’t entertain well and made Young Master Yang feel wronged. Ye is here to apologize to Young Master Yang and everyone. I hope Young Master Yang can give our sect another chance.”
As he spoke, he bowed deeply, with an extremely sincere attitude.
Yang Kai slightly frowned. Feeling his sincerity, the anger in his heart dissipated a lot. He said lightly, “Senior Ye doesn’t have to be like this. Actually, I’m just curious. How dare a mere deputy sect master be so overbearing in front of the sect master.”
Ye Hen smiled bitterly and said, “A tiger has lost its teeth… Is there anyone who is still afraid？”
“Father…” Ye Jinghan had tears in her eyes and called out softly.
Ye Henxiao looked at her and said, “Birth, old age, sickness, and death are common in human nature. Why be like this?” Then, he turned to look at Yang Kai and said, “Our Thousand Leaves Sect started with the puppet technique and was famous in the Southern Region back then. But the descendants are unfilial, and the inheritance has declined, gradually weakening. I, Ye, am incompetent. Since taking charge of the Thousand Leaves Sect, I have failed to lead the sect to prosperity, and there are inevitably some murmurs within the sect. Vice Sect Master Shi and the others think that we should abandon the puppet technique and look for other cultivation methods and secret techniques so that we can restore the prestige of our Thousand Leaves Sect. However, the way of the puppet was passed down by our ancestors. How dare I discard it? If so, wouldn’t it be unfilial, unjust, and untrustworthy? Even in the underworld, I would have no face to see my ancestors.”
Chi Yue said thoughtfully, “The sect master and the deputy sect master have different concepts. How can the sect develop like this？”
Ye Hen smiled bitterly and said, “Exactly. The current Thousand Leaves Sect has been clearly divided into two factions, one conservative and the other looking for new ways. Although they are not incompatible, there are also some frictions.”
“And because you are getting old, that’s why he doesn’t give you any face at all？ Even deliberately trying to suppress your prestige？” Aio also gradually understood.
“I’m making you all laugh.” Ye Hen’s expression was sad.
Du Xian and the others were all standing aside with Tie qing faces and tightly clenched fists. Youdaoplaceholder1 they were all in a bad mood.
Ye Jinghan wiped away her tears and said, “Young Master Yang, what happened just now wasn’t Daddy’s intention. You mustn’t be angry.”
Ye Hen said, “Although it wasn’t my intention, I am after all the Sect Master of Thousand Leaves Sect and can’t escape blame. If Young Master Yang really doesn’t want to help my Thousand Leaves Sect anymore, I won’t force it. But I really hope Young Master Yang is magnanimous and can give our sect a chance.”
Yang Kai looked at him and said indifferently, “Although Vice Sect Master Shi is a bit annoying, what he said just now is right. I have provoked quite a few people. Doesn’t Sect Master Ye fear bringing trouble upon himself？”
Ye Hen said, “Even without Young Master Yang, our sect is also a thorn in the eyes of those people. There will be a moment when swords and blades are drawn sooner or later. Moreover, so many people saw Young Master Yang with my daughter in the City Lord’s Mansion. Even if Young Master Yang leaves now, my Thousand Leaves Sect can’t stay out of it.”
Yang Kai grinned and said, “Sect Master Ye sees things much more clearly than Vice Sect Master Shi.”
Ye Hen said, “Vice Sect Master Shi thinks that if you take the initiative to withdraw, everything will be peaceful. It can only be said that his idea is too naive.
Yang Kai said, “What if I am also powerless about that matter？”
Ye Hen pondered for a moment and said, “It’s fate. Let everything take its natural course and don’t force it. At least when I see the ancestors of the sect under the Nine Springs after my death, I can tell them frankly that I have tried！”
“Alright, then this young master will give it a try with great effort.” Yang Kai nodded and said.
Ye Jinghan was overjoyed upon hearing this and exclaimed, “Young Master Yang, are you going to stay？”
Ye Hen laughed heartily and said, “Silly girl, what else is there to ask？” As he spoke, he stepped aside to make way and said, “Young Master Yang and all of you, please.”
Yang Kai was no longer as overbearing as before but said politely, “Patriarch Ye, please as well.”
Ye Hen hesitated for a moment and then walked into the Thousand Leaves Sect together with Yang Kai.
Along the way, the Ghost Ancestor and the others curiously looked around, and the shocked expressions in their eyes kept flashing.
Although they had been in the Star Boundary for two or three years, they had always been active near Heavenly Crane City. This was the first time they had entered a sect.
Although the Thousand Leaves Sect was now in decline, it was once a top sect in the Southern Region a long time ago. The heritage left behind was simply not comparable to that of those small sects. The ancient and desolate buildings and the winding paths seemed to be able to traverse time and space, connecting the past and the present, allowing people to experience the many wonderful things of tens of thousands of years ago.
