Chapter 46

Master Yi waved his hand, and with a "slap," the palm force struck Du Yuanming's face, sending him flying and landing heavily on the ground.

Du Yuanming lost a few teeth, his mouth was full of blood, and his cheeks immediately swelled up like steamed buns. Filled with fear, he still quickly got up and knelt down, shouting loudly, "Master Yi, I am not convinced!" His whole body trembled, and his words were muffled.

Master Yi waved his hand again, and the palm force struck the other side of Du Yuanming's face, sending him flying once more with another "slap."

"Speak, what are you not convinced about!" Master Yi snorted coldly, his voice like a thunderclap, and a terrifying aura pressed down on them.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh!" Du Yuanming's cheeks were swollen high, his face streaming with snot and tears, and blood splattered, making it impossible for him to speak.

Seeing Master Yi about to lose his patience, Zhou Wu immediately knelt down and shouted, "Master Yi, why do you want to kill us? Please give us a reason, otherwise, we will not rest in peace even as ghosts!"

"Why do I want to kill you? Let me ask, why did you want to destroy the Ye family?" Master Yi's voice was calm, and with a wave of his sleeve, a palm force sent Zhou Wu flying.

Master Yi didn't need any reason to destroy the Du family!

Zhou Wu didn't dare to lie on the ground and quickly got up, kneeling before Master Yi again.

Du Yuanming was beaten to the point of being almost unconscious, and Dong He was also in a miserable state, groaning on the ground. Even Zhou Wu, who was in the best condition, had a twisted face.

Seeing Master Yi take another step forward, Zhou Wu's heart almost shattered, and he hurriedly said, "Master Yi, please listen to me!"

"I'll give you ten breaths. If you don't give me a reason not to kill you within ten breaths, you know the consequences!" Master Yi looked like a heavenly deity overseeing all life.

Zhou Wu quickly said in a muffled voice, "Killing us won't benefit the Ye family at all! We already understand how much Master Yi values the Ye family. Even if you gave us ten more lives, we would never dare to offend the Ye family again. We will do our best to compensate the Ye family! If Master Yi kills us, the Ye family will have a grudge with all the branches of the Du family. Master Yi can't possibly destroy all the branches of the Du family, and one day, the Du family will seek revenge. When will the cycle of revenge end?"

Master Yi raised an eyebrow and paused.

Seeing Master Yi pause, Zhou Wu felt there was a chance and quickly kowtowed a few times, continuing, "After we return, we won't offend the Ye family again. We will protect the Ye family. If anyone harms the Ye family, Master Yi can hold us accountable!"

Master Yi's expression remained stern. Destroying the Du family wouldn't help the current situation, and it would only plunge the Ye family into deeper hatred. Master Yi wouldn't really do that; he wasn't a bloodthirsty person! His display of anger was to show these people how much he valued the Ye family and Ye Wei. If anyone dared to harm the Ye family in the future, they would know the consequences.

Master Yi was waiting for Zhou Wu's words. Du Yuanming and the others had already been beaten enough; their injuries would take months to recover, and they had received enough punishment.

Master Yi looked at Ye Zhengqing and asked, "Ye Family Head, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"

Ye Zhengqing glared at Du Yuanming and bowed, saying, "I leave it to Master Yi."

"If you are not satisfied, destroying the Du family is not a problem. I will support you, but if I help you kill these people, it will bring trouble to the Ye family!" Master Yi said seriously to Ye Zhengqing.

Ye Zhengqing looked at the miserable Du Yuanming and others, thought for a moment, and then exhaled a long breath of resentment, nodding, "Alright, let's put this matter aside for now!" Although he was reluctant, destroying the Du family wouldn't help the situation. Fortunately, the Ye family was still intact, but it was hard on Chong!

Ye Wei tightly clenched his fists. Although he was still young, he understood his grandfather's decision. Looking at the injured Ye Chong in the distance, Ye Wei took a deep breath. He would first try to save his cousin Ye Chong. The Du family people better pray that Ye Chong is fine. If anything happens to Ye Chong, he would make the entire Du family pay for it!

Master Yi's gaze coldly swept over Du Yuanming and the others, and he snorted, "Today, I'll let you off with a warning, but you came to the Ye family and injured so many people, causing a young member of the Ye family to have a shattered mind sea. You must show some compensation!"

Hearing that Master Yi wouldn't destroy the Du family, Du Yuanming and the others finally relaxed, at least they were alive. A little compensation was nothing to worry about, and they secretly rejoiced.

"Here's the deal: the Du family will pay the Ye family one million silver taels, and each of you will pay the Ye family three hundred thousand silver taels!" Master Yi said calmly.

Hearing Master Yi's words, Du Yuanming and the others, who had just relaxed, immediately tensed up again.

One million silver taels! Du Yuanming almost spat blood when he heard this number. What did one million silver taels mean?

The entire Ye family's assets were probably only around two to three hundred thousand silver taels. The Du family was much wealthier, but to come up with one million silver taels at once would mean selling off half of the family's assets! As for Zhou Wu and Dong He, three hundred thousand silver taels was also a huge sum.

"Master Yi..." Du Yuanming tried to speak, his eyes pleading, hoping Master Yi would reduce the compensation, although his words were completely muffled.

"Are you saying that injuring my disciple is worth only one million six hundred thousand silver taels?" Master Yi glared, leaving no room for negotiation.

If Du Yuanming and the others were willing to pay, it would be fine, but if they refused, it would be a real act of defiance. Master Yi was in a state of rage, and the consequences of not paying were obvious!

One million six hundred thousand silver taels was nothing to Master Yi, but to them, it was a significant portion of their wealth!

This was like a living bandit!

Although they thought this, they didn't dare to say it out loud and could only grit their teeth and bear it. If they opposed, the consequences would be even worse!

Even if it was a bitter pill, they had to swallow it. Master Yi's power was something they couldn't resist!

"Deliver it to the Ye family within three days. If you are short by even one tael, you know the consequences!" Master Yi snorted, not even bothering to look at Du Yuanming and the others.

Seeing Master Yi's angry face, Du Yuanming could only swallow his pride. Gathering one million silver taels in three days made his head spin, but he was also afraid of Master Yi's wrath and had no choice but to agree.

Although the Du family only had to pay a little, if Master Yi really wanted to destroy the Du family, it would cause even bigger problems. After all, the Du family had many branches and powerful backing. Ye Zhengqing took a deep breath. The Ye family's strength was still not enough, but with one million six hundred thousand silver taels, they might be able to buy a Heavenly Soul Grass for Ye Chong!

"Are you satisfied with this resolution?" Master Yi asked Ye Zhengqing.

Ye Zhengqing nodded, "Thank you, Master Yi!" Without Master Yi's intervention, not only would the Du family not pay, but the Ye family might not even survive.

"The juniors will take their leave!" Du Yuanming and the others spoke humbly and respectfully as they retreated.

Looking at Du Yuanming and the others' backs, Ye Wei said coldly, "You better pray that my cousin Ye Chong is fine, or one day I will go to the Du family to seek justice for him!"

Hearing Ye Wei's words, Du Yuanming, who was being supported by a few Du family members, stiffened. If it were a regular apprentice, he wouldn't care, and might even slap them, but Ye Wei was different. Ye Wei was Master Yi's personal disciple, and he couldn't ignore Ye Wei's words.

Du Yuanming groaned inwardly and couldn't help but pray that Ye Chong was fine.

As he was supported away from the Ye family, a malicious glint flashed in Du Yuanming's eyes. One day, he would make the Ye family pay! But he knew that as long as Master Yi was alive, he couldn't touch the Ye family! The thought made Du Yuanming want to spit blood!

Seeing Du Yuanming and the others leave, Ye Wei's eyes flashed with anger, which he then deeply concealed. He understood that without absolute strength, he couldn't seek revenge for his cousin Ye Chong!

Seemingly noticing Ye Wei's gaze, Lin Ziyuan patted Ye Wei's back and comforted him, "Don't worry, we will find a way to save your cousin!"

"Okay!" Ye Wei nodded. The most urgent task was to find a way to save his cousin Ye Chong!

After Du Yuanming, Zhou Wu, and Dong He left, the people from the other major families also gradually dispersed.

Soon, the news that Ye Wei had been taken as a personal disciple by Master Yi spread quickly among the families. The Ye family's reputation soared, and they became a hot topic. Many families immediately prepared to show their goodwill, and some bought a lot of healing medicines to send to the Ye family.
