Ye Yunduan smiled and said, “At this moment, my life is in your hands. You control me, and you control my men. He won’t disobey you. No matter how much he hates to do it, he will. Brother Ye, you must understand though. You can’t always have my life in your hands. When things are out of your control, you won’t like it.”
“Perhaps, you don’t care. You can ignore it. Is the Monarch’s Hall going to ignore it?”
Ye Yunduan was frank, and he said, “So please give it a second thought.”
Ye Xiao stayed quiet for a while. He then looked at Meng Youjiang and Rong Ke’er.
Meng Youjiang tried to stay spirited and then said in a deep voice, “I am fine. I will follow no matter what decision you make.”
Ye Xiao stayed silent again.
Ye Yunduan was glad, so he added, “Monarch Ye, listen. I will give your man a bottle of dan beads. That is a secret formula of my clan. There are three dan beads in one bottle, each of which can save a man from death one time. I will also give you a hundred thousand purple spirit coins as compensation for what my man did. I am sure this horrible accident has created a barrier on your man’s path of cultivation. I promise, whenever he needs help, he will get it from the Great Ye Clan! We will use our special technique to help him get a breakthrough!”
Ye Yunduan looked so sincere. He then continued, “Monarch Ye, I think these are enough to show my sincerity. If you are still unsatisfied, just tell me what you want. I will do my best… All I am asking is not to let my man kneel!”
“It is a man’s dignity!”
Ye Yunduan said, “Please, Monarch Ye.”
The skinny and tall guard was shocked. He was emotional. “Master!”
He obviously didn’t know that his master would pay such a big price to keep him from being humiliated, so he was moved.
“I started all of this. If I didn’t make such a reckless move, things wouldn’t be this difficult.” Ye Yunduan paused and said, “I will wait for your decision.”
“Thank you so much, master!” The skinny man knelt down.
Ye Xiao coldly smiled.
Ye Yunduan played well in this.
First of all, he would like to pay that much to buy his man’s loyalty. After this, the skinny guard would be absolutely loyal to him and die for him. Second, if Ye Xiao accepted the terms, he would have to send Erhuo back, and Ye Yunduan would be free. At last, Ye Yunduan was doing all this for Meng Youjiang, not for Ye Xiao.
If Ye Xiao refused it, he would keep Meng Youjiang from getting a great profit, and the chance to have a breakthrough!
Ye Xiao thought even deeper than that. Ye Yunduan had sent a message to everybody. ‘I care for my man! I can give up that much for just a guard of mine, so how could I mistreat any of my followers!’
‘If you join me, I will do the same for you!’
That was his strategy.
Ye Yunduan’s life was in Ye Xiao’s hands, yet he could still make such a brilliant move. He had said several things but never asked to be let go of. That was clever.
Ye Xiao was angry, but he had to admit that this descendant of the Great Ye Clan was incredible! He had power, schemes, and grace!
“Why not?” Ye Xiao smiled and said, “Please, keep your word, Master Ye.”
…
After a while, Meng Youjiang stood up. He was completely cured.
Ye Yunduan had helped him a lot, but Ye Xiao’s dan bead also made a big difference. That was why Meng Youjiang could be well again in such a short time. The Hall of Life and Death had given treatments to a lot of people during those days, who got injured differently. Erhuo had developed many new dan beads. The dan bead Meng Youjiang got from Ye Xiao was great at curing injuries. Without Ye Yunduan’s help, Meng Youjiang wouldn’t be well so soon, but he would be fine sooner or later!
However, since Ye Yunduan was willing to help, why should they refuse?
As Meng Youjiang became well again, things weren’t so intense anymore.
Ye Xiao called for Erhuo, and the cat left Ye Yunduan’s shoulder.
n.o.body saw how it moved. That was unbelievably fast. If these people didn’t see it with their own eyes, they couldn’t believe a cat could be that fast.
“Now, it is done. Problem solved. We can talk about serious business. We came here for a reason after all.” Ye Yunduan touched his throat, and his face looked colorless. He was bleeding.
“I will keep the scar on my neck.” Ye Yunduan softly smiled and said, “It will remind me of what happened when I was careless. If anybody gets to do this to me again, I must be an idiot.”
Ye Xiao blandly said, “Master Ye, you are an incredible man indeed, who always learned from his own failure.”
“Life is full of surprises. There is always something I should learn.” Ye Yunduan said, “You have spoken for yourself, and you are right. We won’t take the Monarch’s Hall from you, but we will take the seven clans back.”
“Everybody has his own thoughts. I won’t stop anybody who wants to leave. If anybody wants to stay, I can’t kick them out either.” Ye Xiao said.
“Thank you, Monarch Ye.” Ye Xiao slightly nodded.
The two of them started to look at the four old men and the men behind the old masters’ back. They had gathered together now. These people were elites of the four clans, and now they felt it was difficult to make the decision.
“What are you thinking? Come on! The Seven Golden Lotuses must stay together!” The chief of the Qin Clan shouted and said to the four old masters. “You idiots! Are you going to keep being stupid?”
Master Yun made a sigh first and then waved his hand. “Let’s go then!”
