Chapter: 3457

As for those behind him who were Ye family members, they too had their own hidden worries.

To most Ye family members, they didn't have any real backbone, just a sense of superiority stemming from wealth and status that had been deeply ingrained in their minds.

So, when faced with the threat of death at this moment, all they wanted was to stay alive.

As long as they could survive, losing face wasn't important.

It really couldn't be helped, so he would leave China with what's left behind and live out the rest of his life in a place no one recognized, peacefully.

This way, it's still better than a mysterious death at the hands of Wan Long Temple.

However, Ye Chongchuan was unable to accept these conditions.

Just then, Lu Hao Tian looked at Ye Chongchuan and coldly asked, "Old fellow, have you thought about it? Have you agreed or refused our lord's terms?"

Ye Chongchuan hesitated under immense pressure and slowly opened his mouth to say, "This young master, please ask your noble lord. These conditions are too harsh for us Ye family. Even if I really want to give up Ye Ling Mountain, the ancestral tombs of many Ye family ancestors on the mountain also need some time to be properly arranged..."

As he spoke, Ye Chongchuan paused slightly and said sincerely, "And my son Ye Changyin is my child. As a father, I cannot possibly leave his ancestral tomb to others. Moreover, I have already disappointed him once when he was alive, and now that he's dead, I cannot disappoint him again!"

When old master's words reached his ears, Ye Chen looked at Ye Chongchuan.

He couldn't help but acknowledge that Ye Chongchuan dared to say these words at this moment, which gave Ye Chen a change of heart towards his attitude.

At this time, Ye Chongchuan continued to say, "Furthermore, in order to express our family's apologies to the Wan family, I am willing to lead my family and children to pay respects after the Wan couple's remains are moved into Ye Ling Mountain. However, if you ask me to wear mournful attire for them, I cannot accept!"

"As a last resort, I also refuse to give up half of our assets!"

"Just now, I said that I am willing to offer 10 billion yuan as compensation, and if your noble lord is not satisfied, I can convert it into US dollars. This is my maximum limit!"

"Land Hao didn't think so, but Ye Zhongquan was actually expressing resistance to each condition proposed by the dian jun. So he looked at him with a dark and ominous expression and asked, 'Old sir, do you think I came to negotiate with you? I'm just here to deliver our lord's instructions honestly! You have no qualification to bargain!'"

"Ye Zhongquan heard this and looked like he was ready to give his life for it. He spoke in a cold tone, saying, 'If there is no room for bargaining, then I won't bother talking anymore. If your lord doesn't fear stirring up public resentment, you can just go kill me at Ye's house. As long as I'm this old, death is nothing to worry about.'"

"Ye Chen's uncle, Ye Changkong, heard this and suddenly became agitated, speaking in a low voice, 'Father! You can't act impulsively right now! The Wan dragon temple has extremely strong power, and all the top-notch martial artists are there. Killing people without blinking an eye... even the palace guard wouldn't be able to withstand them in front of them. What about us ordinary people? You're old, but my siblings Xiao Fu and Xiao Hao are still young!'"

"Ye Zhongquan looked at him coldly and asked, 'How come as the eldest son of Ye's family, you want me to agree to their conditions?'"

Ye Changkong was stared down by his father-in-law, feeling a sudden shock throughout his body. He hastily said, 'Father... I think... this matter is not worth worrying about. It's not about our lives being safe and secure...'"

"As he spoke, Ye Changkong continued to persuade, saying, 'And besides, our Ye family has assets exceeding tens of billions! If we give out half, the rest is still enough for us to live a life of luxury and never worry about clothes or food. After all, money is something that doesn't bring life and death... it's meaningless to have so much.'"

"Besides, our Ye family might be able to rise again in the future, either through me or Xiao Fu. By then, what we lost today can be recouped!'"

"Ye Zhongquan gazed at him coldly and asked, 'Rise again? Is it because of you? Or is it because of both of you together?'

"As he spoke, Ye Changkong continued to persuade, saying, 'It's... my abilities are indeed not too great, I'll take a step back and say that even if we can't rise again, what's the big deal? Even if we just sit idly by, this much money is enough for us to live several generations!'"

"Ye Changkong's words became more energetic as he spoke, urging, 'If you're worried about your future descendants not being able to compete, we can set up a closed family trust fund from the remaining assets!' JrNovels.com
