Chapter 1604: The Yu Children (2/2)

“That’s him!” Yu Zhan reacted like a cat that had its tail stepped on. His face turned white as he pointed and shouted at Li Qiye.

He unconsciously took a few steps back from fear of the last beating. However, he became bolder since all the ancestors were here so he arched his chest proudly.

“Fiercest!” Ancestor Yu and the clan master were astonished to see him. They didn’t expect for him to show up in this place. Of course, they were aware that he might have some plans toward their clan but not this fast.

He ignored the rest and gazed at Forefather Yu. He smiled and said: “Zongying, right?”

“You are…” It was the forefather’s turn to be astonished because Zongying was his childhood name. But now, a stranger actually called him out with it.

“What’s going on?” The matriarch got the drawing from her room and asked after seeing this scene.

“Your Venerable.” Ancestor Yu immediately prostrated on the ground: “Your descendant greets you and wishes you good health.”

“Your Venerable.” The rest of the members who had never seen her before prostrated as well.

Only Yu Zongying was looking at Li Qiye in a daze. In this split second, he certainly thought of something.

“Rise.” The matriarch nodded.

Everyone stood up and became quiet. The ancestor took another look at Li Qiye and reported softly: “Your Venerable, this person is called Fiercest. He harbors ill-intentions towards our clan and actually has grasped the twelve scales’ power.”

“Your Venerable, this person has besmirched our reputation and hurt our members. He even crushed all of my bones. I was useless and couldn’t maintain our prestige so he humiliated me.” Yu Zhan saw Ancestor Yu’s hostility and quickly added some convincing evidence.

Yulian was surprised as well. She didn’t think he would be so courageous as to enter their forbidden ground and provoke an Emperor a.s.sailant in their ancestral grandmother. It was as if he has eaten the heart of a tiger and guts of a leopard. [1]

“Fiercest looks down on everyone and thinks he’s the best. Your Venerable, please annihilate his arrogance and punish him for the crime of insulting our clan.” Yu Zhan wanted to leave an impression with this first meeting so he boldly narrated Li Qiye’s evil deeds.

“Shut up, slap him.” The matriarch uttered with a cold expression.

Yu Zhan was stunned after hearing this, same with Ancestor Yu and everyone present. No one expected for the matriarch to side with an outsider.

“Pa! Pa!” Yu Zongying regained his wits and slapped Yu Zhan twice until blood spilled before pus.h.i.+ng him down: “Kneel.”

Yu Zhan helplessly kneeled on the spot.

“Mother.” He then bowed towards the matriarch while glancing nervously at Li Qiye because he had understood a few things.

“Zongying, back at Heaven Suppression during your childhood, do you remember your sun-gazing meditation?” She said slowly.

The forefather shuddered with both excitement and fear. He stared at Li Qiye in disbelief and stepped forward then kneeled before him: “This lowly one didn’t think I could see your hallowed appearance again in this lifetime, please excuse me for my lack of hospitality…”

“Rise, no fault in not knowing.” Li Qiye gently waved his sleeve in response.
