183: Ye Li on the hot pot

Ye Zhentian could not change the fact that the Central Continent Immortal Mansion was stationed in the Eastern Continent.

Similarly!

Qin Donghuang also could not change the Central Continent Ye Clan's decision to strengthen its control over the Eastern Continent, after realizing that the Eastern Continent was the cradle of super monstrous talents.

To the side,

Ye Li witnessed the brief confrontation between his Clan Chief and the Central Continent Immortal Mansion's Mansion Lord. The more he dared not provoke his Clan Chief at this moment, the more his heart felt shattered.

That damned Ye He! If he hadn't insisted on tightening support for the branches, belittling those weaker branches, and cutting off ties with those he deemed dispensable to save the Family's financial expenses, how could there be so many problems now?

The Central Continent Ye Clan had three Deputy Clan Chiefs:

Ye Na, Ye He, and Ye Li.

Ye Na was in charge of all major and minor affairs within the Central Continent Ye Clan's local territory, specifically Family affairs within Ye City.

Ye Li was in charge of the Central Continent Ye Clan's Family affairs in other parts of the Central Continent, outside of Ye City.

Ye He was in charge of the Ye Clan's branch affairs outside of the Central Continent, primarily in the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent.

The Eternal Leaf Dynasty branch of the Ye Clan in the Eastern Continent belonged to the Eastern Continent, and the Central Continent Ye Clan's attitude towards the Eternal Leaf Dynasty was mainly influenced by Ye He, the person in charge.

When Ye He initially tightened the Family's financial expenditure, abandoning ties with some distant small branches and tightening, even cutting off, support for them, he and Ye Na had opposed it. However, this matter was not within his or Ye Na's scope of responsibility, and they did not dare to argue too much with Ye He, lest it cause internal strife within the Family.

But now, realizing that something serious had happened, Ye He, the person responsible, had become a coward. Ye Na, being a woman, would give outsiders the impression that the Central Continent Ye Clan was not strong enough if she stepped forward.

Helpless!

Extremely annoyed in his heart, he had no choice but to bite the bullet, hoping to mend the situation while there was still time.

Unexpectedly, upon arrival, he saw the Clan Chief's terrifying, man-eating expression and was immediately too scared to speak up, simply hiding in the corner and watching.

Ye Zhentian had actually noticed Ye Li's arrival. Although he was quite annoyed with the three of them, he also knew that the main responsibility did not lie with Ye Li. Not to mention that they were still at the venue, where all the major Cultivation forces of the entire Sky Ruins Continent had gathered, and millions of Cultivators were watching. Reprimanding Ye Li at this moment would only make the Ye Clan a laughingstock to outsiders.

He, Ye Zhentian, was not that incompetent.

"Fortunately, the Eternal Leaf Dynasty branch still favors the Central Continent Ye Clan. That boy Ye Tian also has foresight, marrying his daughter to Long Bubai, and Long Bubai is the biological father of that terrifying little fellow.

With this relationship, Cloud Palace and these other super monstrous talents are somewhat connected to the Central Continent Ye Clan.

As long as the Central Continent Ye Clan isn't foolish and utilizes this point to make amends, they should still be able to recover some losses."

Although Ye Li dared not speak up, having arrived at the scene, he wasn't truly cowering and doing nothing.

At least, through Divine Sense transmission, he established contact with Emperor Ye Tian of the Eternal Leaf Dynasty. Through Ye Tian, he learned some things, which gave his timely remedial plan a good starting point.

Long Bubai, Ye Changxi, Hua Buwan, and others had already emerged from the Trial Tower. Seeing Ye Changxi and Hua Buwan intimately holding Long Bubai's arms, one on each side, and Ye Changxi having styled her hair as a married woman, Ye Li knew that Ye Tian had not lied to him.

The married woman's hairstyle held a special significance in the Sky Ruins Continent, referring to the hairstyle a maiden would wear for three years after celebrating her becoming a woman. This also conveyed satisfaction with her partner.

A woman who had lost her virginity but did not wear the married woman's hairstyle was dissatisfied with her husband and intended to seek another suitable partner.

Evidently, Ye Changxi had no intention of seeking another suitable partner. Moreover, judging by her married woman's hairstyle, she had only lost her virginity to Long Bubai within the past three years.

What did this mean?

Long Bubai and Ye Changxi were still in their three-year honeymoon period, so they should be easier to talk to.

However, one could not be careless.

Hua Buwan was Long Aotian's biological mother. He was not clear about the relationship between Hua Buwan and Ye Changxi, or Long Aotian's attitude towards Ye Changxi.

Although this matter could be exploited, if it inadvertently displeased Long Aotian, it would be more trouble than it was worth.
