Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Loss of Consciousness

At that moment, Ye Tiancheng’s face was full of determination, and there was even a hint of provocation in his eyes.

All members of the Ye family were stunned. Ye Lan was the Great Elder of the Ye Family, second only to the Family Head in status. Ye Tiancheng was just one of the several candidates for successor. How dare he provoke Ye Lan?

Qin Chuan watched Ye Tiancheng thoughtfully, his gaze filled with a bit more admiration.

Ye Qingwan was also looking at Ye Tiancheng in surprise. She really couldn’t understand the purpose behind his actions.

Even Ye Lan herself was dazed for a few seconds before she snapped back to reality, her eyes gradually growing colder.

Ye Lan squinted at Ye Tiancheng and said, "Are you implying that, even if I want to stop this little beast, you would still be willing to become my enemy?"

Ye Tiancheng smiled faintly and did not directly answer the question. Instead, he counter-asked, "As my aunt, surely you wouldn’t obstruct my esteemed guest, right?"

Ye Lan did not speak, her narrow eyes staring steadily at Ye Tiancheng.

She wanted to discern some clues from Ye Tiancheng’s face, to see if he was joking, but to her disappointment, he was not.

On the contrary, there was even a threatening shine in Ye Tiancheng’s eyes.

As the Great Elder of the Ye Family, it was the first time she had been threatened by someone from the Ye Family, and her anger had reached its peak.

She tried hard to suppress the fury in her heart, staring dead at Ye Tiancheng and said, "Aren’t you the least bit worried about your second brother’s recovery?"

Her wariness towards Ye Tiancheng was solely because the Saintly Hand of the National Medical Hall had failed to cure Ye Tiannan.

If Ye Tiannan were to die, Ye Tiancheng would be the most likely candidate to become the successor.

The corners of Ye Tiancheng’s mouth lifted slightly, and he maintained his smile as he said, "If I were worried, I wouldn’t have invited Divine Doctor Qin to treat my second brother."

With just a simple sentence, Ye Lan’s heart sank.

Clearly, Ye Tiancheng was very confident that even if Ye Tiannan were cured, he would still completely lose his qualifications as a successor.

What Ye Lan couldn’t understand, though, was why Ye Tiancheng would purposely find someone to treat Ye Tiannan. Why bother going to such lengths when he could do nothing and just wait for Ye Tiannan to die, ensuring his position as the successor?

The tone of both was very calm, yet it made every member of the Ye Family present feel an immense pressure.

Ye Lan was silent for about ten seconds, then abruptly turned to look at Qin Chuan, a strong murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

Through gritted teeth, Ye Lan said, "Let him leave!"

Her face was full of reluctance. Even though reluctant, what could she do?

What difference did it make if she was the Great Elder?

For the sake of future generations, facing Ye Tiancheng without any certainty, she could only compromise.

Hearing Ye Lan’s words, Pei Jing’s expression drastically changed, and she hastily said, "Aunt, we can’t let him go! He is..."

"Shut up!"

Ye Lan shouted angrily.

"I..."

"Smack!"

Pei Jing was just about to continue speaking when Ye Lan slapped her across the face, the slap landing heavily.

Teeming with rage, Ye Lan said, "If you dare to utter another redundant word, get out of the Ye Family!"

Pei Jing’s face was filled with grievance, as this was the third time she had been slapped in one day.

Yet, she had no choice but to bear it.

If Ye Tiannan were healthy, who would dare touch her?

Ye Tiancheng suddenly spoke up, "Qingwan, aren’t you going to lead Divine Doctor Qin out?"

Hearing Ye Tiancheng’s words, Ye Qingwan snapped out of her daze and hurriedly led Qin Chuan away.

Ye Lan’s stern gaze swept over the assembly as she coldly ordered, "Disperse, all of you!"

The crowd hastily left.

Once the outsiders had gone, Ye Lan suddenly looked towards Ye Tiancheng and asked, "Shall we talk?"

Ye Tiancheng smiled faintly, "Aunt, if you have any advice, please speak freely. I’m all ears."

Ye Lan glanced at Ye Tiannan, who was lying on the sickbed, then turned towards Ye Tiancheng and asked, "Do you truly believe that little beast can cure Tiannan?"

"You must realize, even the Saintly Hand from the National Medical Hall has declared there’s no hope for your second brother."

A smirk appeared at the corner of Ye Tiancheng’s mouth as he said, "Their inability to cure him doesn’t mean others can’t."

Ye Lan asked again, "Who exactly is that little beast?"

As the Great Elder of the Ye Family, she was no fool.

If not for her strong support of Ye Tiannan, Ye Tiancheng would have been the most eligible successor.

Since Ye Tiancheng was acting this way, he must be confident of success.

The first time Qin Chuan came to treat Ye Tiannan, she didn’t believe Qin Chuan could cure him. Even when Ye Tiannan truly awoke, she still felt it was thanks to the prior treatment by Hua Changsheng.

But now, after Ye Tiancheng made his move, she finally understood that the person who revived Ye Tiannan was none other than Qin Chuan.

Hence, she was extremely curious about who Qin Chuan really was, someone who could not only repel an Energizing Skill Strong but also possessed medical skills rivaling, or even surpassing, the National Medical Saint Hand.

Ye Tiancheng chuckled lightly, "Who he is – I genuinely don’t know."

"You don’t know?"

Ye Lan frowned, feeling that Ye Tiancheng was deliberately withholding information from her.

She continued, saying, "From today onwards, I will fully support you in taking over the position."

Having said that, she fixed her gaze directly on Ye Tiancheng.

Her intention was clear – I’ve already made my stance to support you, won’t you be honest with me now?

In response to Ye Lan’s declaration, Ye Tiancheng was not excited, remaining calm as he smiled and said, "I really don’t know who he is, I only know he is not a simple man."

Ye Lan was momentarily stunned; she could tell that Ye Tiancheng was not lying.

Ye Lan, frowning, asked, "Based just on your guess that he is no simple man, you’re willing to bet all your chips on him?"

A slight smile curled the corners of Ye Tiancheng’s mouth as he inquired, "A martial artist who can repel an Energizing Skill Strong in an instant, a healer whose medical mastery rivals, perhaps even exceeds the National Medical Saint Hand – does Aunt not think that’s enough for me to bet all my chips on?"

Upon hearing Ye Tiancheng’s words, Ye Lan was momentarily at a loss for words.

It was only at that moment that she realized, from start to finish, it was her subjective belief that Qin Chuan was too young and her reluctance to believe he could cure Ye Tiannan.

"I understand now!"

After a long silence, Ye Lan suddenly sighed and spoke.

Just then, Ye Tiannan on the sickbed suddenly opened his eyes.

For a moment, both Ye Lan and Ye Tiancheng’s gazes fell on him simultaneously.

At this time, Ye Tiancheng’s heart suddenly filled with intense nervousness.

Just as Ye Lan had said, he had staked all his chips on Qin Chuan. Should Ye Tiannan truly be completely cured, he would no longer have any chance at all.

After all, there were less than two months left for Ye Tiannan to assume the position of heir.

"What are you doing here?"

Ye Tiannan suddenly looked towards Ye Tiancheng, his gaze turning icy as he asked with a cold face.

As he spoke, he attempted to sit up from the bed.

But the next second, something despairing happened.

Ye Tiannan said with a face full of panic, "My legs, why can’t I feel my legs?"
