Just like that, he’s leaving?

Everyone thought there would be a great battle next. How could the Liu family’s ancestor not deal with Ye Qiu?

Chen Dong, Ma Zhipeng and others couldn’t help but feel it was a pity. Families like the Zhou and Zhao were all wearing a look of hatred. Seeing that no one would act against Ye Qiu today, they quickly left to avoid being seen by Ye Qiu in their presence.

On the Dragon Group’s side, cheers erupted again. Ye Qiu easily defeated Wei Ziqing and even scared off a figure akin to legend. This was their Master Ye. He didn’t disappoint; on his return, he avenged the fallen members of the Dragon Group.

Regrettably, Wei Ziqing wasn’t thoroughly killed and was taken away by an elder of the Liu family. It would have been perfect if Wei Ziqing had died.

"Let’s go." With their War God level patriarch gone, there was no point in staying. Especially as they heard many people shouting Ye Qiu’s name, it was very unpleasant for Liu Wen and the others. So they summoned Ma Zhipeng and the rest to leave immediately.

As for the heirs of families like the Bai, Wu, Guo, and Yang, seeing this scene, they understood that the situation would change with the return of Ye Qiu. Although Wei Ziqing’s utter defeat was disappointing, these families realized Ye Qiu’s undisputed strength. Aside from a few War God level figures, there’s probably no one in Capital City who could hurt him.

Many who came to see Ye Qiu’s downfall left disappointed, leaving behind families related to Ye Qiu, such as the Song, Jiang, and Luo families, and the Dragon Group.

"Finally, we can hold our heads high and breathe easily." Seeing Ye Qiu being surrounded by members of the Dragon Group, the reliable trio on the side, Song Jie, Jiang Hao, and Luo Ming, couldn’t help but smile with joy.

Today’s battle made everyone understand how formidable and invincible Ye Qiu truly is.

After today, those who had acted against the loyal trio’s families must be in constant dread, not daring to stretch out their hands again, and even have to spit back what they’ve swallowed unaltered.

Madam, Luo Wenjing, and Jiang Yuewen, the decision-makers of their families, were beaming with delight. Their persistence was finally reaping rich rewards. They not only won Ye Qiu’s favor but in the future, their power in Capital City would grow even stronger with their relationship with Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu and the Dragon Group members were chatting and laughing, having not seen each other for a long time. It is rare for today to have vented their anger.

Mu Zhige, Lin Wurou, and Li Xiaohu each gave Ye Qiu a fist salute. His return truly excited the Dragon Group members, changing the previously gloomy atmosphere.

As for the Dragon Group members who sided with Wei Ziqing, many old members were somewhat apprehensive about approaching Ye Qiu. After all, they had fought alongside Ye Qiu but had to stand with Wei Ziqing due to his coercion. As they watched Ye Qiu surrounded by the old members, they began to feel guilty. If they had been more steadfast in their convictions, they might be like those people now.

For the newcomers to the Dragon Group, their faces didn’t look so good. They were disappointed by the quick and harsh defeat of Wei Ziqing, whom they regarded as a powerful figure. At this moment, they began to truly wonder about who Ye Qiu was.

The old rake and Mei Huiling both had smiles on their faces. All of this was due to Ye Qiu’s presence, which ignited an unprecedented sense of unity within the Dragon Group.

This scene, witnessed by some, filled their hearts with immense shock.

"What’s the matter, you’re not going up to greet him?" Seeing Ma Lingling standing in place, staring intently at Ye Qiu as if lost in thought, her father couldn’t help but speak with a laugh.

"He’s very popular, huh." Ma Lingling said.

Ma’s father nodded: "Yes, I’ve been quite optimistic about this young man since he appeared. He has been full of surprises and given us great joy. Even a War God level figure of the Liu family had to retreat, tsk tsk..."

"No wonder Wan Qing likes him; even I feel a bit moved." Ma Lingling whispered softly. In her eyes, Ye Qiu, who was not very handsome but possessed a special charm and always liked to keep a smile on his face, was someone who made people unable to resist looking at him after meeting him.

"When we first met at Fengling Ferry, a glimpse of Ye Qiu led to a lifetime of misjudgment."

Ma Lingling slowly uttered these words, then followed her father and slowly walked away, occasionally looking back at Ye Qiu, who was still in the center of the crowd.

The elders of the Xu and Wang families greeted Ye Qiu, saying that they would visit him in person on another day. Ye Qiu did not reject the goodwill offered and responded with a polite farewell.

Afterward, Ye Qiu went to the Dragon Group base with the members of the Dragon Group. The three families of the Iron Triangle did not follow him. Instead, they returned to their own clans, ready to retaliate against those who previously made moves against them.

Ye Qiu left them one sentence that greatly excited the three families: "You can go ahead boldly. Anyone who has acted against you can be countered. If they dare to make a move, I will personally pay them a visit one by one."

The lady, Luo Wenjing, and the third one were thrilled. Finally, they had earned these words from Ye Qiu, which also meant that their three families truly became Ye Qiu’s people.

Meanwhile, the Ye family, including Ye Sa and Ye Shuang, who were still watching Ye Qiu and the others leaving without themselves moving, had a somewhat somber atmosphere.

It was Elder Jiang who first broke the silence.

"Perhaps, we can still mend our relationship with Mr. Ye."

Ye Shuang couldn’t help but retort, "So what if he has won? Why should we mend the relationship? Our Ye family can do without relying on him. Haven’t we always been one of the four major families?"

There was no expression on Ye Lao’s face, and no one knew what he was thinking, but his slightly stern face let those who knew him understand that it was related to today’s events.

Ye Sa could see that his grandfather’s mood was complicated and comforted him: "Grandfather, don’t blame yourself too much. No one could have been sure of today’s outcome."

Old Master Ye looked at Ye Sa and sighed, "Xiao Sa, your grandfather might have really made a mistake. If I had listened to you back then and not gotten close to Wei Ziqing, maybe our Ye family’s relationship with him wouldn’t be so awkward."

"Some things, once there is a crack, are not so easy to mend. In my whole life, I, Ye Lao, have never miscalculated or regretted anything, but today, I truly do regret my past decision," said Ye Lao, blaming himself.

Elder Jiang and the others were silent while Ye Lao sighed, "Now, to fully recover our relationship with Young General Ye is probably impossible. All I hope is to not further widen the rift between us. I hope that he, bearing in mind the vote I once cast for him, will not harbor resentment against our Ye family."

Ye Lao seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, and Ye Sa, watching him, couldn’t help but feel heartache. He had long sensed that upon Ye Qiu’s return, the situation would change from Wei Ziqing’s control—as it now had. However, his grandfather was feeling self-reproachful for not heeding his advice back then and for being stubbornly intent on playing both sides.

From Ye Qiu’s departure, not once did he glance their way, which showed he didn’t have good feelings towards the Ye family.

"If our Ye family’s War God were still here, Grandfather might not be feeling so remorseful." Ye Sa spoke slowly, aware that everything his grandfather did was entirely for Ye Qiu. Although their Ye family was one of the four major families, they were the weakest, supported single-handedly by the grandfather. With no War God-level figure and no new pillar to support the Ye family, they were in a precarious situation, forcing the grandfather to make some choices out of necessity.

"I need to grow rapidly, to support the Ye family, and to prevent the Ye family from declining!" A sudden determination flashed in Ye Sa’s eyes. The family’s plight ignited a strong desire within him to become powerful.
