Chapter 1011: People of the Ye Clan!

Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy

Ye Xiao thought Han Bingxue was the best at being pretentious, who could casually and instantly start being pretentious at any moment. However, he now realized there were always better people. Han Bingxue was much worse compared to Ye Liangchen. Ye Liangchen was the real master in being pretentious.

It was something that had fitted into his heart, his soul, and his bones. It was his instinct to pretend!

That was such a marvelous level of pretense!

Comparing to him, Han Bingxue was too much more obvious in pretense. That was a huge difference.

The third young man sighed and said, "Gosh. I mean, can we just focus on the serious stuff? Let's get the medicines back to the clan. I don't care about you making friends or you starving. If we don't get enough credits this month, we will regret it so badly. If we can't even get a spiritual stone, we will be surpassed by Ye Chengzong and his people next month. That will be truly hopeless."

Ye Liangchen smiled and said, "If that really happens, it will be just like your name means. Naihe, Which means there is nothing can be done to help. Hahaha."

He smiled and laughed at Ye Naihe, but he looked worried after all.

Apparently, he wasn't so sure about whether he could collect enough medicines.

Ye Xiao finally got to know their names. Ye Liangchen, Ye Meijing, and Ye Naihe!

[Liangchen, Meijing, Naihe!]

[Weird names!]

[Ye Naihe is fine. It isn't a good name for a boy, but it is not too bad. Lingchen and Meijing, come on! Are these boys' names? That can't be more ridiculous!]

[Besdies… the three names together makes a part of a line in a Chinese play from old days… Liangchen Meijing Naihe… Tian…!] [1]

[I wonder if they have a brother who is named Tian?]

[What if they do…]

He didn't think Ye Xiao was a weird name anymore. If he was named Ye Tian, that would be embarrassing. Ye Tian was fine alone. What if he stood with those three…

He couldn't imagine it. He felt awkward.

Ye Clan people had truly weird names!

Suddenly, he felt curious about the clan he and his father were born.

Ye Naihe had pointed out the problematic situation, but Ye Liangchen seemed more interested in Ye Xiao, Han Bingxue, and Xuan Bing. He just started to talk to them. However, no matter how he pretended to be mature and experienced, no matter how he tried to talk decently, Ye Xiao, Han Bingxue, and Xuan Bing eventually got to know what he truly wanted.

He was trying to get support.

He was actually asking for help.

Maybe he was eagle-eyed, or maybe he wasn't. The three people he was asking for help could be a team that swept the entire Qing-Yun Realm. However, the way he asked for help were provoking the three. Anyone of the three could destroy the Ye Clan. That was right. Ye Xiao might not be powerful enough, but he could let Han Bingxue do it for him. That would be easy!

After the conversation, they finally understood. Ye Liangchen didn't get to them because of what his eyes were like. He just couldn't get anybody else to ask anymore. He just asked whoever he could for support.

"I mean, come on. Ye Clan should be a big clan in the Town of Ye, right? You guys are definitely the young lords in the Ye Clan. How do you end up like this?" Ye Xiao looked at them and asked disdainfully.

That was a frank satire. Ye Meijing and Ye Naihe were both pissed. They were about to rage up.

Ye Xiao was such an experienced man. It was a piece of cake for him to make them angry.

However, Ye Liangchen's eyes lit up and he actually smiled. He said, "Brother, you are frank, but what you said is true. I feel so ashamed. However, the world has many better people. Ye Clan is indeed powerful. We do have lots of superior cultivators. However, we are still not like an overlord after all. It is a long story to tell."

When Xuan Bing heard him saying 'we are still not an overlord', she felt wordless.

Even Misty Cloud Palace, such a powerful organization, didn't dare to mention overlord to describe themselves.

Ye Xiao tried to be patient and continued the conversation. As expected, he easily got the information about Ye Clan's current situation.

"Ye Clan is the landlord house of this place. It certainly has many enemies. There are some matters I don't think I can tell any stranger. However, for the first sight, I saw you three like old friends. We are friends. We should be honest with our friends. I guess it doesn't matter if I tell you more about my clan."

The others rolled up their eyes when they heard Ye Liangchen.

[Look how hard you triy to earn their trust! You have just spoken to them for a while and they became your old friends? Do you know their names? Do you know where they are from? Where they are heading? How powerful are they? What background they have? You know nothing! Yet you actually see them as old friends? You actually want to complain about our clan to them?]

Ye Meijing and Ye Naihe couldn't agree what Ye Liangchen was about to do. However, they didn't stop him. They just stood aside and listened.

Ye Xiao felt that they truly had come to a dead end. They were trying to fetch any possible chances to save themselves!

That was too reckless and risky!

"There are six branches in the Ye Clan. However, the first branch, which used to be the main force of the Ye Clan, fell to the bottom because of a case in the old days. They quit after that case. All they have is the name, but no power anymore. The second and fourth branches are taking charge of the clan at the moment. The fifth branch is associated with the second branch. That makes them bigger in number of people. The sixth and fourth branches are associated, so as to fight against the second and fifth. The two groups have been fighting each other for a long time. They nearly used everything they can, no matter how vicious it was."

"The third branch used to be associated with the first. However, when the first branch fell, the third fell too. That was certain. The other four branches kept suppressing the third. The third branch is better than the first, but still in a quite dangerous situation."

"I, Ye Liangchen, am a member of the third branch."

…

Ye Xiao roughly understood most of the truth about the Ye Clan from Ye Liangchen's nagging description.

The first branch was apparently where his father belonged to. The case in the old days was the reason why the first branch would fall.

The other four branches had taken charge of the clan business and forces. They were suppressing the first and the third branches too hard.
