You're Ruthless, I'm More Ruthless!

Although Ye Zifeng put his entire

on top of Ye Xueyi, he could not

cover her entire body.

Due to the shock wave from the

explosion, a few pieces of shrapnel

struck Ye Zifeng's back. If it

wasn't for Ye Zifeng's quick

reactions, then the clueless and

defenseless Ye Xueyi would be

gravely injured right now.

"Brother Zifeng. Brother Zifeng!

What happened? Are you alright?"

"Cough.Cough….." Ye Zifeng moved

his hands around and sat up slowly,

showing that there was no problem

at all.

"Let me see your back. Are your

injuries serious?"

Ye Zifeng's expression showed that

he was in pain, but he lifted his

head and forced a smile, "Don't

worry about it. It's not much."

Ye Xueyi pretended to nodded

obediently. But then she suddenly

stood up and walked behind Ye

Zifeng. When she saw his back, she

gasped loudly.

The cloth on Ye Zifeng's back

turned to smithereens. There was

blood all over the place and it

covered his entire back. Quite a

few pieces of the furnace were

embed into his back. Parts of his

back was burnt black. It looked

very horrifying.

"Brother Zifeng!" Ye Xueyi stared

at her brother's back. Her head was

buzzing as if she couldn't believe

what she was seeing. Tears started

to fall from her eyes.

Since his injury was seen by Xueyi

already, he didn't have to himself

back anymore and painfully yelled

out.

"Who could be so ruthless! If I find

out who did it, I'll definitely kill

them!" Ye Xueyi returned to her

sense. Her expression turned cold

and was filled with killing intent.

In the clan, people would fight

against each other for some

matters. But this was going to far.

This event had almost taken both of

their lives!

Ye Zifeng coldly and weakly smiled,

"Heh. It's not so hard to guess

who this this. There aren't that

many people who could mess with

my furnace and try to clip my

wings before I soar above them."

While saying that, he looked at the

backpack at the door. He was lucky

that he left his bag by the door, or

else if it got caught up in the

explosion, it would be really

unfortunate.

Images of a few people appeared in

Xueyi's mind.

"Could it be second uncle and

them?"

　　...

"What happened? How come there

was an explosion?"

The explosion was very loud. Very

quickly, it attracted the people in

the manor. The first one who

arrived was Tang Feng. When she

heard that the explosion had come

from the cellar, she felt that

something was wrong. She knew

very clearly that her daughter

loved to hang out with Ye Zifeng in

the cellar. If something happened

to the cellar, something must've

happened to her daughter as well.

"Xueyi! Xueyi! Oh thank god. You're

fine…." Tang Feng walked into the

cellar and saw that her daughter

was not affected by the explosion.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Normally, she was cold towards

people but towards her own

daughter, she was very caring.

"Mother. Don't worry about me.

Get a doctor for Brother Zifeng.

Look at his back! He became like

this because he rescued me!" Ye

Xueyi quickly replied to her mother.

After Tang Feng calmed down, she

went and looked at Ye Zifeng's

injury. She saw his back filled with

blood and was shocked. Xueyi said

that he became like this after

saving her and thus she felt like

she needed to act.

"Zifeng, how did you become like

this? Someone come quickly!"

At that time, a few of the other Ye

clan members heard her voice and

rushed over. One by one, they

called out for the doctor after

witnessing the scene. Very quickly,

the Ye clan's doctor came over with

bags of medicine and rubbed it on

Ye Zifeng's back.

After the doctor applied the

medicine, Ye Zifeng felt his entire

body in pain. He started to breathe

very loudly and he curled up into a

ball.

"Brother Zifeng…. It's my

fault…." Ye Xueyi started to cry

and held onto ye Zifeng's hand.

Ye Zifeng forced a smile. He knew

that this didn't have anything to

do with Xueyi and didn't blame her.

The last ones who came were Ye

Chen and Ye Huichi. When they both

saw Ye Zifeng, they looked at each

other. Their eyes showed a complex

expression.

"Cousin Zifeng. I'm a bit curious.

Why would the furnace randomly

explode like this. Is it because you

were refining some sort of special

medicine?"

With this one phrase, Ye Huichi put

the blame of Zifeng's injury on his

own inability to refine pills. He

even pointed out that Zifeng had

broke the furnace. He was basically

blaming the righteous one as the

guilty one.

Ye Xueyi coldly looked at him, "This

time, your other cousin Zifeng was

heavily injured. As the younger

cousin, how could you slander him

instead of comforting him!"

"I can do whatever I want. Who

are you to judge me?" Ye Huichi

replied angrily.

"You!" Ye Xueyi was so mad that

she was about to go up to him and

beat him up.

Ye Chen's face turned ashen and

immediately said, "Huichi! How

could you say something like this.

He's your older cousin. You should

be more respectful!"

Ye Huichi shrugged his shoulders

and softly said, "What about my

manners. Hmph. I'm just speaking

the truth."

Ye Chen was slightly angry at

Huichi's behavior and pulled him

aside, "Sorry for the

embarrassment. My son is only

blabbering nonsense. He doesn't

actually mean it."

Ye Zifeng coldly smiled and forced

himself up.

Ye clan's doctor, Zeng Peng

wanted to stop him but his hand

was flung away.

"Look at his bad temperament. The

doctor wanted to be nice and give

him and hand but was flung away."

"Yeah. From what I can see, he

deserved to be blasted….."

Hearing this, Ye Xueyi stared

hatefully at those kids who were

talking. The kids saw this and

immediately shut their mouth.

Normally, a child's word should

bring no harm. But seeing how

they're slandering Ye Zifeng, it

seems like their parents had

corrupted them.

Ye Zifeng shook his head and

calmed himself down.

Right now, he knows that he has

enemies. However, he also knows

that he wasn't the Martial Lord

Heaven Tier genius Alchemist Ye

Zifeng anymore. As the lowly qi

refining stage Ye Zifeng, he needs

to know that he can't make any

moves against his enemies right

now. He knew that Ye Chen had ill

feelings towards himself and

wanted to be a step ahead of them.

However, he was still a step too

late in the end.

The him right now, he needs to be

patient. He must know how to hold

back before he becomes strong. It's

still too early to show all of his

cards. He doesn't know what his

own clan members would do to him

let alone what other clans would do

if they found out about his skills.

He continued to shake his head and

slowly walked towards Ye Chen.

"Zifeng. What do you want?" Ye

Chen's mouth began to twitch. Ye

Chen was already in the martial

disciple realm but when he faced Ye

Zifeng, he felt afraid. It was as if

the person in front of him wasn't a

qi refining rookie but a supreme

expert.

Ye Zifeng smiled, "Second uncle,

mind stepping away with me for a

second?"

Ye Huichi laughed, "If you want to

say anything, why not say it in

front of everybody?"

"Do you want me to….. Explain.

Everything. Clearly. To.

Everyone?" Ye Zifeng said every

single word clearly and loudly. Each

word was filled with a deep

meaning. Although he was taken

advantage of by these two, he

didn't fall so low to their level.

Ye Zifeng continued to stare deeply

at them. It was as if his glare had

pierced through their skins. Ye

Huichi suddenly felt cold sweat

forming on his head. His heartbeat

increased and he was scared of Ye

Zifeng. He felt that it was a

disgrace how Ye Zifeng was able to

put him in such a state with such a

glare.

Whether it was Zifeng or Ye Chen,

neither of them wanted to be a fool

in front of other people.

Ye Chen then looked at Zifeng and

smiled, "Stepping away for a bit?

Sure..."

"Please…. This way then….." Ye

Zifeng replied nonchalantly.

"Brother Zifeng… You…." Xueyi

was worried.

"Don't worry about me. Nothing's

gonna happen."

He was speaking the truth. No

matter how much courage Ye Chen

had, he would definitely not lay his

hands on Ye Zifeng. Otherwise,

when Ye Chongtian returns and

finds out, he will definitely be

killed.

The two people walked to the side

under everyone's glare. They were

pretty far away from the scene

and no one could hear them.

"What do you need from me. You

can tell me now." Ye Chen started

the talk.

"This incident. I can pretend that

it never happened…." Ye Zifeng's

reply was quick and concise.

Ye Chen was startled, and then

began to laugh, "I don't

understand. What do you mean?"

"We're the only ones here. No one

can hear us. Second Uncle, you

don't need to put on that innocent

act."

Ye Chen's face turned ashen and

stiffened up. From Ye Zifeng's

voice, he can tell that there was

not a single hint of respect.

"I told you already. I don't know

what you're talking about." Ye

Chen was still being persistent.

Ye Zifeng smiled slyly. The smile

cause Ye Chen to feel shivers.

"Huichi isn't smart enough to do

something like this. There must be

someone who told him what to do. I

don't think you have the courage to

do something like this either. There

must be someone else behind all of

this. Let me guess. Is it the people

from the Liu family? Did they tell

you to hold me down?" While saying

those last two sentences, Ye

Zifeng's eyes turned deathly cold.

Ye Zifeng was right. It was the Liu

family's Liu Yige who told Ye Chen

to plot something like this. Ye Chen

was promised a solid yuan pill and

many other benefits in exchange.

It was because of this that Ye Chen

was able to muster up the courage

to mess with Ye Zifeng when Ye

Chongtian was gone.

"But… You don't have any..."

"No. I have the evidence!" Ye

Zifeng smiled. He knew what Ye

Chen wanted to say.

Ye Chen was shocked. No matter

how cautious he was, there was a

possibility that he left some traces

of his actions behind. If Ye Zifeng

reveals everything to the Ye clan,

he wouldn't even need to wait until

Ye Chongtian returns. His respect

in the household would definitely

fall.

He wanted to ask Ye Zifeng if he

really had the evidence. But if he

does that, he would be revealing

that he is in fact cahooting with

the Liu clan.

Even in his dreams, Ye Chen would

not have expected that he would be

found out by a qi refining stage

brat. Thinking about this, his heart

felt pained.

He sighed and then said, "What do

you want. Tell me straight up."
