The Heavenly Dao System-Chapter 26: Hunting Path

By the time Ye Ming finished his statement, Ye Chang suddenly laughed loudly.

"Haha, the Young Master has really grown." He exclaimed and shook his head, seemingly ready to take his leave.

However, after a few steps, Ye Chang felt a hand on his shoulder.

"What more do you wish to say?" Ye Chang asked, seemingly annoyed.

"Elder Ye Chang should stop overthinking too much." Ye Ming suddenly said.

"When I said take a break, I didn't mean stepping down." He continued.

The atmosphere turned awkward, with none of them knowing what Ye Ming wanted.

In the first instance, it was clear that Ye Ming was stating Ye Chang should step down.

Yet in this next instance, Ye Ming was stating that wasn't his intention.

With that being said, there was only one conclusion that most of them could think of.

"Is the Young Master planning on executing me?" Ye Chang was expressionless when raised that question.

If taking a break wasn't stepping down, then the only other choice was to be eliminated. Having a break meant being eliminated---or at least that was what they thought.

"This is preposterous!" Finally, Ye Xuan could no longer endure and had to disobey his wife. He slammed his palm on the desk and stood up with an angry face.

Ye Chang might not be likable much by the younger generation, but it was still a hardcore fact that Ye Chang had been working hard for the Ye Clan. Most things were overseen by him and his assistance was greatly appreciated.

How dare Ye Ming suggest executing a senior elder like Ye Chang who hadn't done anything wrong?

Despite the intense atmosphere, Ye Ming finally realized his family was a bunch of ridiculous people with a backwater country mindset.

"I'll say... besides killing and talking about seniority. Do you people have any other thing to think about?" Unfazed by Ye Xuan's outcry, Ye Ming picked his ear and snorted.

"When did I say anything about wanting to execute Elder Ye Chang?" He questioned and glared at Ye Xuan.

Who told this person to shout aloud and nearly shatter his eardrums?

Did he not know what cultivation realm he was in?

Imagine if he failed to control his sound wave slightly, then wouldn't he have become deaf?

Of course, it was an exaggerated saying, given his mother was still present. With her presence, it would be impossible for him to be harmed.

Meanwhile, Ye Xuan took the time to cool down after feeling an intense gaze from behind.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, sat back down to his seat, and asked, "Then what was your intention, son? Stop beating around the bush and be direct."

Ye Chang was also curious as he perked his ears up. He had truly thought the Young Master was dissatisfied with him.

After all, he was extremely rigid in the tradition and cared a lot about appearance and etiquette. It clashed extremely hard with the current Ye Ming—someone who had undergone a fierce personality change since his return.

A few seconds later, Ye Ming directly shoved Ye Chang to make him take his seat, given his original chair was shattered.

He then stepped forward, positioning himself in the center.

"Ahem, what I meant to display was that Elder Ye Chang had long grown frustrated by the younger generation. I'm the last straw and possibly hope for Elder Ye Chang to retain his position to maintain the Ye Clan's prestige." Ye Ming cleared his throat and said.

"I don't wish for Elder Ye Chang to continue this sorrowful path and thus, decided another path for him. That was the reason why I said he should take a break and relax." He continued, explaining clearly for all to comprehend.

Upon hearing his statement, Ye Chang was struck dumbfounded. He wanted to say something in response, but when he opened his mouth, there was no sound emitting.

He was actually rendered speechless, unable to refute the statement.

Ye Zhongshan and Ye Jiantao were equally silent as well. They clearly didn't expect Ye Ming's behavior from earlier was meant to prove a point like this.

'So it was like that. No wonder I found it peculiar why the Young Master was hounding Ye Chang repeatedly.' They thought to themselves.

As for Ye Xuan, his expression frowned. Not because he disapproved of Ye Ming's action, but because he wasn't informed beforehand of his action.

'You couldn't have used a sound transmission to let me know in advance?' Ye Xuan cried inwardly. Now that he had made an outburst, the deed was done, and it meant that he was going to get another cold shoulder treatment from his wife.

After all, he had disobeyed her and took action. Suddenly, Ye Xuan had a bright idea in his mind.

'Hmm, with my cultivation... I can just turn back time by bending reality.' He was about to put the plan in motion, his hand secretly emitting a dim but powerful amount of qi.

Unfortunately, before it could even take form, a sudden cough dispelled his qi completely.

"..."

Like a child who got caught being naughty, Ye Xuan pursed his lips and began fidgeting his fingers. His head lowered, clearly unwilling to make eye contact with the person who stopped his mischievous action: Ye Qing Lei.

Ye Xuan's subtle action was naturally captured by everyone in the scene, but Ye Ming was too lazy to care about him.

The same goes for Ye Chang, who was more intrigued by the 'path' Ye Ming stated.

"What path did you want me to take?" He raised his hand and asked softly, behaving like a student.

"A hunting path." Ye Ming flatly replied.

Ye Chang tilted his head sideway. It was clear that he didn't get what the hunting path meant.

Naturally, Ye Ming understood his phrases weren't enough and needed more clarification.

"I have a list of cultivators that is still compiling. But once it's done, I'll send it to you. By then, Elder Ye Chang can hunt them down one by one. These cultivators are all very bad, and it's up to your discretion on what type of punishment you want to impose. And that is acting without the restrain or shackle of the so-called family ties."
