Ye Nantian certainly wouldn't have imagined that something so absurd could happen to the head of the Ten Great Families.
At least, he still hadn't figured out what caused all of this, or rather, he hadn't understood the reason behind everything that had transpired. Kuaishu Ge
As it stood, he was deeply perplexed by this matter, completely unaware of why such an event had occurred.
Drunk, a group of military bigwigs causing trouble at the Ye residence, each armed with a baseball bat?
No matter how you looked at it, this couldn't possibly happen. After all, among them were two Marshals and the acting Pavilion Master of the Dragon Pavilion!
Ye Nantian rubbed his temples, sighed deeply, and murmured, "A time of many troubles, a time of many troubles!"
Yes, a time of many troubles!
Who could have foreseen that such a thing would happen to their Ye family!
Meanwhile, in the small courtyard, Mu Hanqi was anxiously awaiting Li Chenghao's arrival.
After they had disappeared, Mu Hanqi had called Lin Tian'ai, asking her to contact her father. However, the result was that she couldn't reach him at all. After several attempts, a strange man finally answered the phone.
The man was a taxi driver, and he said that he had just driven a car full of drunkards to the Ye residence.
After Lin Tian'ai relayed this to Mu Hanqi, she directly contacted Li Chenghao.
After all, Mu Hanqi knew no one in the capital; the only person she knew was Li Chenghao.
Li Chenghao, fearing a repeat of the previous two incidents, told her to wait at home and not go anywhere, stating he would come over. Thus, Mu Hanqi was still waiting for Li Chenghao at home.
"Girl? Girl, are you home?"
Li Chenghao strode quickly into the courtyard, his voice audible before he had even entered.
"Grandpa Li, I'm here."
Mu Hanqi also walked out quickly, her small face filled with anxiety.
She had only gone to the kitchen to fetch some hangover soup, and in such a short time, everyone had vanished. She felt utterly helpless!
As Li Chenghao entered, he surveyed the clean courtyard, still catching the strong smell of alcohol in the air.
"Girl, don't worry. There are so many of them, and their status is not low. No one in this capital dares to openly oppose them. Even those families only dare to fight Ye Longlin in a formal challenge. They'll be fine."
Li Chenghao couldn't fathom their thoughts; the situation left him deeply confused.
Logically, such events shouldn't befall them. Furthermore, with Lin Langsheng and Qin Hanlie present, how could those two possibly indulge in such reckless behavior?
Unless, they intended to do something under the influence of alcohol?
Moreover, to his knowledge, this group of people rarely spoke much when they gathered. Yet now, they had collectively disappeared...
"Girl, don't worry. Nothing will happen to them, rest assured."
"They must be using their drunken state to do something out of line. At the very least, with Lin Langsheng and Qin Hanlie around, no one would dare to lay a hand on Ye Longlin. After all, he's the former Dragon War King, and it's normal to have the military's backing."
Upon hearing this, the lingering anxiety in Mu Hanqi's heart slowly began to subside, and she felt a sense of relief.
Since Li Chenghao had said so, she felt reassured.
"Actually, I don't want to hand over Mu Tou to the country. Do you know how many injuries he has? Some of them are so gruesome that they pain me just to look at.
He has contributed too much to the country over the years, fought too many battles. Sometimes, I feel like he's a middle-aged man in his fifties who has seen the storms of life, but in reality, he's not even thirty."
Li Chenghao fell silent, gazing at the bright moon in the sky, and sighed deeply.
Did she think he didn't know these things? He knew them intimately.
Throughout Great Xia, arguably, only he, Li Chenghao, was truly aware of Ye Longlin's achievements. If even he didn't know, then no one else would.
Therefore, before he departed from this world, he wanted to exhaust all his strength to accomplish a historical feat!
If this historical feat remained incomplete, Li Chenghao would be cursed by countless people after his death. But if it were completed, not only his own legacy, but Ye Longlin's legacy as well, would be sung by countless people!
"Girl, do you know? People like Ye Longlin are destined for glory from birth. Even stepping down is merely a temporary respite. He, ah, will eventually stand in his rightful place and suppress an era."
Mu Hanqi shook her head, "Grandpa Li, I only wish for his safety. I ask for nothing else."
Li Chenghao opened his mouth, rendered speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"Girl, perhaps, everyone will wrong you."
After another period of silence, a playful smile flickered across Li Chenghao's lips.
"Since you all want to stir up trouble, I'll lend you a hand."
"Hello, Eastern Theater Command? This is Li Chenghao. I am now informing you that the master of the Eastern faction, Lin Langsheng, is missing..."
"Hello, this is Li Chenghao. I am now informing you that the commander of the capital's military, Qin Hanlie, is missing..."
"Black Dragon, this is Li Chenghao. The acting Pavilion Master of the Dragon Pavilion, Xuan Niao, Xuan Wu, and the first Pavilion Master of the Dragon Pavilion are missing..."
...
At the same time, within the Ye family residence.
Ye Nantian finally encountered this group of people and felt a headache coming on.
A crowd was blocking the door to the west wing, making it impossible to enter. He had no idea where the alcohol had come from, as the entire doorway reeked of it.
Ye Nantian frowned, his gaze falling upon Ye Longlin, who was leaning against the wall, his face slightly flushed, reeking of alcohol.
"Ye Longlin, what exactly do you think you're doing? Coming to my Ye residence so late. Do you truly believe my Ye family has no one?"
Ye Nantian stared at the group with a dark expression, finding the situation extremely thorny.
Even Qin Hanlie and Lin Langsheng were present; it was far too troublesome!
Furthermore, the previous Dragon Lord and the current acting Pavilion Master were both here. Truly...
Ye Longlin let out a drunken belch and, with drunken slurred words, feigned ignorance: "Ye Nantian? What are you doing in my house? What do you want? Who called him here?"
Lin Langsheng shook his head, "It wasn't me. Why would I call this dog?"
Qin Hanlie took a swig of wine, "Exactly. I didn't call this dog either. Yuan Gang, didn't you little rascal call him? Get him out of here, or it'll be bad if he dies here."
Yuan Gang: "Burp, where's the pig's head meat I bought?"
Ye Nantian looked at them with a dark expression, unsure if they were truly drunk or feigning it, but in any case, it was extremely problematic.
These two were actually indulging in such nonsense with them!
"Ye Longlin! This is not your house, this is the Ye family!"
