Chapter 206: Chapter 206 What Should I Do

She had just arrived at Yandu Airport when she was abducted and brought here; she was completely in the dark about her father’s condition and was now desperate to see him.

"How can you say ’let go’?"

Ye Tiancheng frowned, saying displeasedly, "Could it be that Uncle is intending to place you under house arrest by keeping you here?"

"Brother was ambushed and heavily injured, and even the Saintly Hand from National Medical Hall says that he won’t survive the night."

"Now the culprit is still at large. If you appear in their sight, who can guarantee they won’t lay hands on you?"

"As your uncle, it’s only natural for me to protect you in Brother’s stead! Staying here with Uncle is the safest place for you."

After hearing Ye Tiancheng’s words, Ye Qingwan became frantic, tears as large as beans streaming down her face. Even the National Medical Saint Hand couldn’t heal her father?

But she quickly composed herself. Setting aside whether Ye Tiancheng was deceiving her or not, even if her father truly wouldn’t survive the night, as long as she could feed him the Minor Rejuvenation Pill, he might be saved.

Therefore, the most important thing now was to figure out a way to see her father.

She wiped away her tears and, with reddened eyes, said to Ye Tiancheng, "Uncle, I’m not afraid of death; I just want to see my father one last time. Please grant me this wish!"

After a brief silence, Ye Tiancheng spoke, "Qingwan, you’re also aware of the current situation in the Ye Family – incessant internal strife, external enemies coveting our downfall. The Ye Family can’t withstand any more damage from infighting."

"Brother’s injuries are too severe, beyond what the Saintly Hand can heal. Now, only I am capable of ending the infighting within the Ye Family."

"As long as you get the support of the White Tiger Envoy for me, from now on, you’ll be as a daughter to me, Ye Tiancheng. When Uncle holds the power, whatever you want, Uncle will give you."

Ye Qingwan sneered inwardly. She finally understood why she was put under house arrest – it was to gain the support of the White Tiger Envoy.

What nonsense about protection – this was clearly coercion to make her agree to secure the support of the White Tiger Envoy for Ye Tiancheng.

"Uncle, it’s not that I don’t want to agree, but this matter should be decided by my father."

With tears in her eyes, Ye Qingwan said, "But I can promise you, as long as I see my father now, if he truly does not survive tonight, I guarantee that I will secure the support of the White Tiger Envoy for you."

She naturally couldn’t readily agree to Ye Tiancheng’s demands, especially since there was still hope for her father.

Ye Tiancheng frowned, "Qingwan, do you still not understand why Brother was assassinated? It’s because many covet his position as the Association Head."

"You, being his only daughter, will certainly become a target if you show yourself."

"Now, only by getting the support of the White Tiger Envoy for me, can you shift the attention of our enemies."

Ye Qingwan shook her head, "Uncle, I appreciate your concern, but with Father in this condition, I fear nothing, I’m ready to face death if I must."

"All I want now is to see Father one last time, and if the worst comes to pass, I promise to give you everything Father has."

Ye Tiancheng stopped speaking, noticing that Ye Qingwan was determined and that she wouldn’t easily compromise without seeing Ye Tiannan.

Ye Qingwan said nothing more, her gaze fixed on Ye Tiancheng, waiting for his response.

As time ticked by, Ye Qingwan’s worry grew ever more intense; with every second wasted, her father was in more danger.

But she knew she had to make Ye Tiancheng compromise first because she was aware that once she agreed to his demands, he would only focus on having her, under his supervision, order the White Tiger Envoy to support him.

Until the position of the Association Head was secured, Ye Tiancheng had no intention of letting her leave.

Finally, after a full five minutes, Ye Tiancheng suddenly spoke, "Qingwan, are you certain, if Brother passes away, you would secure the support of the White Tiger Envoy for me?"

Ye Qingwan’s heart leaped with joy as she nodded eagerly, "I swear I will!"

Ye Tiancheng said, "You should know what kind of person your uncle is – I don’t skimp on rewarding friends, but when it comes to enemies, your uncle can be very cruel."

His tone seemed calm, but Ye Qingwan felt an overwhelming pressure bearing down on her.

She knew that Ye Tiancheng was threatening her.

Where else did she have a choice? She quickly made her stance clear, "Second Uncle, rest assured, if Father truly doesn’t pull through, not only will the White Tiger Envoy support you, but I will also always stand by Second Uncle’s side."

"Good!"

Ye Tiancheng finally compromised, and then he said, "Elder Ling, would you personally protect Qingwan on her visit to see Brother?"

"Yes!"

An aged figure, ghostly in appearance, materialized beside Ye Qingwan.

Ye Qingwan shuddered, her heart filled with fear. Elder Ling was a bona fide Energizing Skill Peak Realm powerhouse, and there were even rumors that Elder Ling had stepped into the King Realm.

Ye Tiancheng said Elder Ling was to protect her, but it was clearly a tight surveillance of her every move.

Despite her inner turmoil, she had no choice but to accept.

Just as she was preparing to leave, Ye Tiancheng suddenly said, "Oh, there’s one more thing I almost forgot to tell you."

Ye Qingwan looked puzzled.

Ye Tiancheng continued, "Just now, the Xuan Wu Envoy I had sent to East Sea Province on a mission was killed by someone!"

Ye Qingwan was instantly shocked. Xuan Qing was killed?

And it happened in East Sea Province.

Could it be...

Telling her this abruptly must have a deeper meaning. Could it be that it had something to do with her people?

But the most powerful Granny Wu had returned to Yandu with her and had been placed under house arrest by Ye Tiancheng’s men.

So, who else could have killed Xuan Qing?

As Ye Qingwan’s thoughts were in turmoil, Ye Tiancheng said, "The murderer who killed the Xuan Wu Envoy is a young man named Qin Chuan. Isn’t the White Tiger Order he carries something you gave him?"

At these words, Ye Qingwan’s complexion changed drastically.

Qin Chuan killed Xuan Qing?

If that were true, then the trouble would be huge.

According to the Ye Family’s rule against internal killing, Qin Chuan, as the White Tiger Envoy, would be committing a capital offense by killing Xuan Qing.

The Ye Family would definitely not let Qin Chuan off.

What should she do?

Ye Qingwan was completely panicked.

Ye Tiancheng then suddenly said, "However, I have already sealed off this matter; the Ye Family won’t find out anytime soon, but this is only temporary. If this drags on, no one can tell when the Ye Family will discover it."

"Now, only after I become the official successor can I completely suppress this matter."

Ye Qingwan quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Since Ye Tiancheng had said this, it meant the Ye Family wouldn’t find out about the incident.

But what should she do after her father is revived?

By then, not only would Ye Tiancheng not suppress the issue, but he would also seek an explanation from her father.

In doing so, the Ye Family would certainly not let the matter rest.

In other words, no matter what, the Ye Family was destined to take action against Qin Chuan.
