Chapter 726 (1/2)

Give and Take (1)

“You won’t tell us, not even for the clan?” frowned Ye Yi.

“Depends on the situation. If Coldblood Group had never done anything to harm our family, and you only want to know for the benefit of the family, then I won’t tell!” Ye Lang said. He didn’t think there was a problem, though this would not please the patriarch of the family.

That was why Ye Lang would not become the next patriarch of the Ye family. He wasn’t suited for this position.

“What if there’s a conflict between both sides one day?” asked Ye Yi.

“We’ll neutralise it if possible! If I can’t, then I have no choice,” said Ye Lang.

“What if only one side can win?” said Ye Yi.

“I will protect the people I want to protect,” said Ye Lang after some thought.

“...”

Everyone realised he wasn’t as clueless as they thought. He had a ruler in his heart, measuring the situation. He had his own principles, even the clan would not sway him.

In truth, if Ye Yi used something else as an example, like comparing Zhao Yarou’s Soaring Sky Empire and the family, Ye Lang would not hesitate to stand with the Ye family.

However, he couldn’t do that for Coldblood Group. They had always been protecting him. While he was no saint, he still did not want to repay favours with hatred.

He had Coldblood Five, Seven and Zero within the Coldblood Group. If one day the Ye family and Coldblood Group fought each other to death, and Coldblood Group was in the wrong, he would still want to protect these three even if his family objected.

It was the same for the opposite situation.

He implied that he would not participate in the conflict, remaining neutral.

However, it was not likely. The previous Ye family might but right now, their family was neutral They would not battle anyone, especially not Coldnlood Group.

“What’s this? Things like that aren’t going to happen! Father, don’t look for problems that don’t exist. You know Ye Lang, he’s always clueless. He might think you want to fight Coldblood Group. If it comes to that, he’ll definitely help that Little Five. You don’t know what happened between them two, he’s willing to cross a sea of fire for her!” said Ye Chengtian, changing the subject. He told them that the relationship between Ye Lang and the Coldblood Group wasn’t that simple.

“I don’t know about that, but Coldblood Five would definitely cross the sea of fire for him!” said the seventh princess. She knew him well, and trusted him completely.

“Yeah, I heard Little Five is some crazy psycho named World’s Best Assassin. Killing people is as simple as eating rice!” Ye Lanyu accidentally leaked something she wasn’t supposed to say.
