While they are welcomed by this wonderful show of affection...
Back in the Glory City mayhem was raised as they couldn't believe what just happen...
Ye Zong was lamenting his choices in life that led to this event a few minutes ago...
As Ye Zong has buried himself under tons of papers to be approved he thought about the current events and sighed as he had to integrate the numerous families that have been brought from the Abyssal Prison...
He slowly made them integrate the last two weeks and now he has Nie Li teach them how to become Spiritualists by gaining Demon Spirits...
Of course, Nie Li would choose the best available to help them reach Legend Rank as they were or laid solid foundations by giving them new suitable Manuals...
Just when Ye Zong was preparing to continue reading the reports, a man walked to the door and knocked.
Ye Zong : "Come in."
Ye Zong took a glance at the door, he could already feel Ye Han's aura. Ye Han walked into the room and cupped his hands towards Ye Zong.
Ye Zong : "Han'er, why have you come??"
Ye Han : "I want to have a chat with Lord Father."
Ye Han : "These last few days, I've noticed that there are lots of strangers living at Ye Ziyun's courtyard and felt a little puzzled about it, so I was wondering if I should talk about it,"
Ye Han lowered his head, his gaze was uncertain and did not face Ye Zong.
Ye Zong : "It should be Nie Li and his friends. They are classmates of Ziyun and are just living at Ziyun's yard at the moment."
Ye Zong answered while almost narrowing his eyes. It wasn't because of the question but because who the fuck calls them strangers after the Beast Horde??
How could he not see that Ye Han still has intentions for Ye Ziyun. Except, the two of them have too large of an age gap between them, not to mention their relationship is that of brother and sister. They're absolutely not a match for each other.
Not to mention the fact that Ye Ziyun has far surpassed even him in terms of power and cultivation...
As a father, he wants to find a corner and cry from being such a letdown, but as a City Lord, he is happy that so many experts came into fruition that will make Glory City expand in the future...
Observing now, if Ye Han is compared with Nie Li because Ye Han's motives are too deep, letting Ye Zong feel a trace of unease.
Ye Han : "Lord Father, I understand. All along, Lord Father has been nurturing and teaching me, wanting to pass the City Lord's position to me. And I am lacking in talent, unable to meet Lord Father's expectations."
Ye Han : "In the past, when I was living in the streets, it was Lord Father that brought me to City Lord's Mansion. I only wanted to repay Lord Father's grace, I never had any expectations for the City Lord's position..."
Ye Han suddenly knelt down with tears all over his face. Ye Zong, seeing this situation, immediately sigh as he spoke up...
Ye Zong : "Han'er, I understand you. Your talent is extraordinary, you'll definitely surpass me in your lifetime. However, there are many things that won't go as you or I had wished. I only hope that you're able to let it go..."
Ye Han : "I understand. Recently, Ziyun's cultivation has soared leaps and bounds, exhibiting extraordinary talent and has already far surpassed me."
Ye Han : "Having Ziyun in the position of City Lord, it's natural. Except, you have always been telling me to bitterly train to become a good City Lord, and I have always heeded your words and worked hard, not slacking in the slightest. And now, you tell me that everything isn't your decision. Have you considered my feelings? That kind of spirit with all hope lost?"
Ye Zong : "Han'er, I'm sorry!!"
Ye Han : "From the moment I saw Ziyun, I told myself that I must marry her as my wife. However, you have never recognized me in your heart, you have been looking down on me in your heart, right?"
Hearing this Ye Zong this time actually did narrow his eyes and frown at the same time making the bad feeling he had to grow in intensity as Ye Han laid everything bare...
But he was confused why he would do so and especially now??
Ye Han : "You feel that I'm only a homeless child, I'm not worthy of your Snow Wind Family! I have been looking forward to one day being up in the City Lord's position, able to marry Ziyun. And now, you tell me that I'm not suitable to become the City Lord!"
Ye Han : "It was you who deprived me of my dreams, and now, I have become an empty shell. I have nothing!"
Ye Zong felt extremely guilty. Ever since he came in contact with Nie Li, he has understood that the belief that he has was wrong.
He should give more concern for Yun'er and Ye Han, and not constantly force them to reach his expectations.
No that would also be wrong as he needed to be there for his daughter while no matter how he twists it Ye Han is not his kin...
Just a kid he decided to raise up and actually bond with him over the years...
Ye Zong : "Han'er, I understand all the grievances in your heart, it's my mistake. I shouldn't have put such a heavy responsibility onto your shoulders, forcing you to meet my expectations. You should have a better life, and not what I've forced upon you.
Just when Ye Zong was holding onto Ye Han, Ye Han's eyes flashed with a ray of chill, his expression suddenly turned ferocious.
