The first patriarch said it very loudly. Not understanding why the first patriarch gave such an order, Ye Yuwei’s mind went blank for a moment.

Ye Yuwei looked at everyone panicking and realized that the first patriarch might in fact be the hardest to deal with.

Every entrance to the fortress would be blocked by the closed gate. The ones who were outside the fortress would not be able to enter, and the ones who were inside would not be able to leave. There would be no contact between the inside and the outside of the fortress, not even by a phone call or text message.

“What do you mean, Uncle?” Bai Ying asked, looking at the first patriarch.

“Ye Shu has been dead for some time, Bai Ying. There are a lot of things that I didn’t say or comment on, because I promised Master Bai to take care of you for as long as I live.”

Bai Ying lowered her gaze. She would be lying if she said that she wasn’t moved by the first patriarch’s words.

“Bai Ying, Master Bai led us to fight for the Bai family and its future. Can’t you understand why we try so hard to protect and uphold the Bai family?” The first patriarch asked with his bony hand hanging mid-air.

Ye Yuwei was standing between the first patriarch and Bai Ying. She feared that Bai Ying might cave in when she looked at the first patriarch playing the victim card and Bai Ying with her head down.

“So what?” Ye Yuwei said loudly, “The Bai family is far from innocent.”

A slapping sound filled the air—the second patriarch who was standing next to the first patriarch had slapped Ye Yuwei’s face.

Gu Juexi stopped what he was doing when he heard the sound and clenched his fists, his expression vicious.

Ye Yuwei crashed to the floor. She could feel her face swelling and taste blood in her mouth.
