Chapter 516: Chapter 516: To Kill or Not to Kill

Ye Zhong’s face was heavier than ever before, and he did not seem to be lying.

Ye Ruoyi was utterly stunned, she actually had a marriage arrangement?

"Family Head, I have been in the Ye Family for many years, yet I have never heard anything about Ruoyi having a marriage arrangement."

Ye Qingwan glanced at Ye Ruoyi and continued, "If the Family Head does not wish to let Ruoyi leave, just say so, don’t fabricate non-existent reasons."

Her disappointment with the Ye Family was growing. From top to bottom, apart from Ye Ruoyi, who else was worthy of her trust?

"Hmph!"

Ye Zhong looked towards Ye Qingwan with a dark face and said coldly, "There are many things you don’t know, but I am not so despicable as to concoct a lie to retain someone whose heart does not belong to the Ye Family."

He then turned to Ye Ruoyi and said, "Right after you were born, the Ye Family arranged a marriage for you, agreeing that on the day you turn twenty-five, your husband’s family will come to fetch you on time."

Ye Ruoyi’s complexion immediately turned ghostly pale because in one more month, it would be her twenty-fifth birthday.

"I will not marry!"

She suddenly mustered the courage and said to Ye Zhong.

"Will not marry?"

Ye Zhong, infuriated, laughed in mockery, "As a woman of a great clan, who can control their own life? A settled marriage arrangement, do you think you can simply refuse to marry just by saying so?"

Ye Ruoyi’s eyes instantly reddened. When she was very young, her parents had both passed away. She faced countless injustices in the Ye Family. Despite being the granddaughter of the Ye Family Patriarch, she was not favored at all—just oppressed.

Ye Qingwan took Ye Ruoyi’s hand and softly consoled her, "If you are unwilling to marry, then no one can force you to marry."

After speaking, she looked up at Ye Zhong with an indifferent face and said, "The Ye Family really is ridiculous. When we are needed, we are members of the Ye Family, but when we are of no use, who cares whether we live or die?"

"Since Ruoyi does not wish to marry, then even if it were the emperor himself who came, don’t think of forcing her to marry someone she does not like."

Watching the vehement Ye Qingwan, Qin Chuan secretly admired her. This was truly Ye Qingwan’s state, fearless even in the face of the Ye Family Patriarch.

"Let’s go!"

Ye Qingwan took Ye Ruoyi’s hand and was about to leave the Ye Family.

"You dare to defy my command?"

Ye Zhong was completely enraged, with powerful auras emanating from his body, he stared at Ye Qingwan with narrowed eyes.

He could tolerate Qin Chuan taking Ye Qingwan away, that had been his limit, but Ye Ruoyi absolutely could not leave the Ye Family, otherwise, he would not be able to explain it to those people.

"Hmph!"

Qin Chuan waved his hand, the oppression on Ye Qingwan and Ye Ruoyi instantly dispersed, and he said coldly, "Old man, do you think I have given you too much face?"

Ye Zhong glared at Qin Chuan and said, "I do not wish to make an enemy of you, but that does not mean I am afraid of you. Allowing you to take Ye Qingwan away is my bottom line. But as for Ye Ruoyi, nobody can take her away."

Qin Chuan’s eyes flickered with terrifying intent to kill, wondering if killing Ye Zhong would mean that no one would stop Ye Ruoyi from leaving.

At this moment, dozens of Ye Family martial artists had surrounded them. Most of them were Energizing Skill Peak Realm Martialists, and there were even a few whose cultivation was infinitely close to the Initial Stage of the King Realm.

Every martial artist burst out with momentum, all ready to act at any moment, just awaiting a command from Ye Zhong.

Both Ye Qingwan and Ye Ruoyi were pale. As members of the Ye Family, they were more aware of their current predicament than Qin Chuan.

It could be said that this was the very pinnacle of the Ye Family’s combat power.

Of course, that excluded those few King Realm Strong who were constantly in reclusive cultivation and nearing the end of their lifespans.

"Mr. Qin, I am willing to let Ye Qingwan leave, which already shows great sincerity. Please do not ask for an inch and take a mile," said Ye Zhong.

Ye Zhong’s tone softened a few degrees as he spoke.

Clearly, he did not wish to become enemies with Qin Chuan either.

Until now, he had been unable to see through Qin Chuan’s true strength, nor had he discovered Qin Chuan’s real background.

If this matter could be resolved peacefully, he naturally preferred not to resort to violence.

"Sister, let’s just drop it, okay?"

Suddenly, Ye Ruoyi said with a choked voice.

Ye Qingwan’s expression changed drastically, as she hurriedly said, "What do you mean, ’drop it’? Do you really want to stay with the Ye Family and wait for them to sell you off?"

Ye Ruoyi looked at Ye Qingwan with tear-filled, red-rimmed eyes and said, "You finally got away from the Ye Family, how could I allow myself to be the reason for your return to trouble?"

"Sister, stop worrying about me. You and brother-in-law should hurry up and leave the Ye Family!"

She was worried that if they dragged this out further, not only would she be unable to leave, but Ye Qingwan wouldn’t be able to escape either.

After saying this, she looked towards Qin Chuan, her pale face carrying a hint of pleading, "Brother-in-law, I know you’re very capable, and very extraordinary. Since you took my sister with you, I hope you’ll treat her well and never let her down, because once she follows you away from the Ye Family, from then on, you’ll be her whole world."

Qin Chuan felt deeply moved and looked at the despair on Ye Ruoyi’s face; his heart ached sharply.

He seemed to see his own shadow in Ye Ruoyi.

From a young age, his father heartlessly threw him into the Kunlun Divine Prison, and it was only after enduring myriad hardships that he managed to escape.

For Ye Ruoyi, with her parents already deceased, if Ye Qingwan left, then she would have no one else to rely on within the Ye Family, forced to accept the arranged marriage they had set up for her.

A curve formed at the edge of Ye Zhong’s lips, as he had been worried that Ye Ruoyi would insist on leaving. If that had been the case, a clash with Qin Chuan would have been inevitable.

"Family Head, I am willing to..."

Suddenly, Ye Ruoyi looked towards Ye Zhong and began to speak.

But before she could finish, she was interrupted by a domineering voice, "Since I’ve promised to take you with me, you must leave today!"

Ye Ruoyi looked at Qin Chuan in surprise, tears swirling in her eyes.

No wonder her cousin was willing to leave the Ye Family and follow this man; as it turned out, he was truly worthy.

Ye Qingwan had already lost hope when she saw the top fighters of the Ye Family mobilize, and had even prepared herself to betray Ye Ruoyi.

It wasn’t that she was heartless, but that she was concerned Qin Chuan wouldn’t be able to overcome them.

Upon hearing Qin Chuan’s words, a vicious expression appeared on Ye Zhong’s face as he glared at Qin Chuan and scowled, "It seems that Mr. Qin intends to take action against my Ye Family."

Qin Chuan sneered, "Less nonsense. If you want to fight, then fight. If you’re too scared to fight, then make way!"

With that, he strode forward.

Ye Qingwan tightly grasped Ye Ruoyi’s hand and followed closely behind.

Witnessing this scene, the martial artists of the Ye Family were all enraged. Never had anyone dared to be so brazen in the Ye Family; Qin Chuan was the first.

However, they all remained motionless, ready to act at a moment’s notice, just waiting for Ye Zhong’s command.

Ye Zhong’s gaze was fixated on Qin Chuan’s retreating figure, his face filled with anger, yet beneath it lay hesitation.

To kill, or not to kill?
