"Hey, stop messing around, get up quickly, the chief has come in person, it seems something big has happened, heâs waiting outside now. Elder Shi almost barged in just now, and Yanran is still getting scolded."
What? Even if the chief is looking for me, even if Iâm sleeping, whatâs that got to do with Shi Yanran? Why is this old man giving his granddaughter a hard time?
Isnât this just disrespecting me?
Ye Luo immediately got up, and with Ling Qingyaâs help, he quickly tidied up and went out.
However, when he went out, he saw quite a scene; outside his room stood over thirty elders, most of whom were overseers of the Huaxia Great Clans. It seemed that this time the matter was indeed quite serious.
"Little Ye, youâre finally up. Didnât you promise the chief to handle the border issue in three days?"
Elder Shi hurried to Ye Luo, speaking as he gave Ye Luo a meaningful look.
Ye Luo understood Elder Shiâs meaning because he had already noticed the unfriendly expressions on several old men behind Elder Shi.
"Oh, isnât this just because I got too busy!"
Ye Luo chuckled, smiling at Elder Shi. Honestly, after taking advantage of Shi Yanran recently, he had to keep in line in front of Elder Shi.
But as for the others?
...
At this moment, an old man behind Elder Shi stepped out: "Hmph, too busy? I think you overslept in some womanâs embrace!"
Ye Luo glanced over but didnât recognize this guy.
Whatâs this supposed to mean, trying to give me trouble?
However, Elder Shi held onto Ye Luoâs hand at this moment, clearly telling him not to get angry.
Fine, for Elder Shiâs sake, Ye Luo couldnât be bothered to argue with this old guy and was prepared to say letâs set off now.
But unexpectedly, that old man simply gave him no face, becoming even more aggressive as he saw Ye Luo remain silent.
"Hmph, Ye Luo, the chief ordered you to deploy troops to the border, what have you been doing, messing around with your women every day? Your Ye Alliance hasnât sent a single soldier, and you even have the mind to establish some rewards. Do you have any regard for the chief, any regard for Huaxia?"
Ye Luo was stunned, what a high hat this guy was trying to put on him, had he gone out of his mind?
Just then, another person stepped forward: "Ye Luo, donât forget, you are a citizen of Huaxia. Are you planning to sell out your ancestors just because you have power? Hmph, you went to the Martial Realm, brought back some things, and only played factional games. What are you up to? Daring to disobey the chiefâs orders?"
The smile on Ye Luoâs face slowly faded. If it wasnât for Elder Shi holding him, he might have exploded already.
So these guys were just jealous of him, looking for a reason to cash in?
Such lofty banners, such high hats!
Damn it, just short of saying Ye Luo was rebelling!
Ye Luo wasnât going to take this lying down!
"Shut up, I donât care what privileged family you are, this doesnât work in front of me, Ye Luo! My stuff, I give it to whomever I want, and I wonât give it if I donât want to! Whether Iâm a citizen of Huaxia isnât up to parasites like you to decide. Help you? If I do, itâs my kindness; if I donât, itâs my right! Get out of the Ye Alliance, people like you arenât welcome here!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
With Ye Luoâs words, in an instant, hundreds of figures suddenly appeared, glaring fiercely at those people, making it clear that at Ye Luoâs command, they would kill them.
At this moment, Elder Shi tightened his grip on Ye Luoâs hand.
In truth, this action didnât come from the chiefâs signal, but from these guys acting on their own.
And Elder Shi was only called along because of his connection with Ye Luo.
In Huaxia, there are some privileged people, as their ancestors made great contributions to the country, so naturally, the nation takes care of them. Among these people, a very few rely on ancestral shadow, though not to the point of being lawless, they always disregarded others.
The two old men who spoke with Ye Luo were such people.
Despite their old age and seniority, they donât count for anything in front of truly influential or respected figures!
With the exposure of the Hidden Sect and the rise of the Ye Alliance, many secular families originally started thinking about martial arts, not just in Huaxia; the martial arts wave has risen in countries across the Earth.
Ye Luo has always been regarded as just and upright, in fact, even in the families of these two elders, some were selected among the hundreds, though they were unwilling to give up cultivation, or simply didnât trust Ye Luo, but seeing those who believed in Ye Luo gained tremendous power, they became envious!
This action was precisely stirred up by these two families, who were not quite major forces before, simply because they have connections, and indeed many people were jealous, so it led to this scene!
The fundamental reason was to gain benefits from Ye Luo, but they wrapped it under the banner of national interest, repeatedly pressuring Ye Luo!
They believed Ye Luo is upright and patriotic, so invoking national interest would make him cautious.
They thought Ye Luo was easygoing, always at the forefront, as such, a rash guy who would capitulate under a high title?
They assumed Ye Luo cared about Huaxia, even when he went to the Martial Realm, he found ways to return with things useful for Huaxia, so he should distribute them among them!
They thought...
What a bunch of assumptions!
Ye Luoâs sharp gaze saw through these peopleâs thoughts, they didnât even bother to put up a fig leaf!
Indeed, this time, Ye Luo didnât give any benefits to anyone or any faction besides the Ye Alliance.
Because those seeds were Ye Luoâs means to change the entire world!
Moreover, the things Ye Luo brought back were fundamentally unsuitable for being monopolized by any force.
Besides, Ye Luo valued not just Huaxia, but the entire Earth, after all, Earth is Ye Luoâs hometown, and also his second Divine Kingdom!
Furthermore, itâs not like Ye Luo hadnât prepared anything, those technologies from the Martial Realm, who else but the country should he give them to?
But even if he gives them to the country, itâs not for these parasitic families.
Unexpectedly, neither the Great Clan nor those Hidden Sect forces sought trouble or asked Ye Luo for benefits, yet these insignificant bugs crawling from nowhere have popped out!
Ling Qingya in the room mentioned the chief had arrived, saying there might be issues at the border, at the time Ye Luo had felt guilty for breaking his promise.
