The Heavenly Dao System-Chapter 38: My Way

THUD!

The moment Ye Ming finished his statement, the atmosphere quickly took a deep dive for the worst.

Nearly everyone in the meeting kept their breath, unable to fathom the situation.

Ye Xuan had already made an attempt to pacify the situation from Ye Ming's outspoken words. Yet not only did Ye Ming refuse the gesture. But he even doubled down and called Elder Ye Fung ignorant.

"Is this the Clan Leader's intention?" Frustrated, Ye Fung's eyes flared up. "I worked day and night in the warehouse to ensure every member had enough resources for their cultivation."

His body trembled slightly, almost as if he was about to lose his composure. His behavior was so realistic that it nearly entrapped the people to sympathize with him.

As for Ye Xuan, he nearly wanted to punish his son for the action.

Of course, he had known Ye Fung wasn't completely clean, granted he had hoarded some of the precious resources for his children. Nevertheless, that didn't mean he undermined the others and was rather efficient in his work.

Therefore, he turned a blind eye to the matter. As long it wasn't the big taboo or something that goes against the borderline, Ye Xuan chose to let them off.

However, his decision seemed to be a constant clash with the return of his son.

While Ye Xuan was already feeling a headache, the other elders began to chime in their support for Ye Fung.

At the same time, they tried to lessen the tone of their speech, but it was clear that they were reprimanding Ye Ming's disrespectful behavior.

"Clan Leader, I don't think this is the right time to be talking about such a matter in the clan meeting. There are many younger generations watching here."

"Indeed, Elder Ye Fung has always been dutiful and the Young Master has only just returned. There are many changes since the passage of time."

Just like a political court in a dynasty, these elders were acting and behaving like they were officials in the same faction, competing for power. Ye Ming in this case would be the crown prince who was opposing them whereas Ye Xuan would be the emperor.

Meanwhile, Ye Qing Lei revealed zero change in her expression. She was still calmly sipping on her tea and treating the commotion like nothing.

Her lack of response and attitude caused the elders to mistakenly believe she wasn't going to intervene in the dispute between clan members.

After all, she had never given much of her input or thought unless someone was foolish enough to cross her.

Naturally, none of them were retarded enough to trigger her whatsoever. Even the younger generations knew better than to offend Ye Qing Lei.

A few seconds had passed by, and Ye Xuan was still silent about the matter. It was clear that he was caught in a predicament, unable to figure out a solution.

And it was then when Ye Ming finished the tea that Qing Lan was feeding him. He lightly waved his hand to signal her it was enough as he pointed at Elder Ye Fung.

"So are there any more people going to speak up for Elder Ye Fung besides those who have done it already?" He raised the question and darted his eyes toward the elders who had kept silent.

Despite the clamoring, the truth was that only a few had spoken up in support of Ye Fung. The rest chose to keep quiet and wait patiently.

When Ye Ming gazed between the remaining elders and how they shook their heads, he nodded in response.

"Very well, then Elder Ye Fung and those who had spoken up for him shall be arrested immediately and placed in the prison cell. Their crime would be embezzlement and causing faction party within the Ye Clan." He declared solemnly.

"What?" Alarmed, Ye Fung was unable to fathom the situation.

"What are the rest of the servants waiting for?" Ye Ming suddenly slammed his palm on the armrest and shouted.

Shortly after, multiple servants appeared from thin air and apprehended Ye Fung and the other elders who had clamored for their support for him.

"This is preposterous!" Ye Fung screamed in disbelief, his hands being tied behind his back.

Being forced into a kneeling position, Ye Fung knew talking to Ye Ming was hopeless. Therefore, he shifted his attention to Ye Xuan and pleaded.

"Clan Leader, was this your decision and using your son as the forefront?" He refused to believe Ye Ming would be so extreme if it weren't his father's order.

However, Ye Fung came to a realization when he noticed Ye Xuan was equally stunned and startled by the scene.

'No kidding... the Young Master is really acting alone?' He had lived for so long and knew how to read people. He got a thorough understanding of Ye Xuan to remain at the top.

One couldn't blame Ye Fung either for failing to comprehend Ye Ming's behavior and actions. After all, he only briefly returned and no one had seen him until now.

What made him realize his fate was sealed was the fact that Ye Xuan avoided eye contact.

Just like that, the elders were teleported away, destined to be locked in prison unless further notice was granted.

The atmosphere also became more intense now that everyone realized Ye Ming was serious.

Yet much to their shock and horror, Ye Ming kept a friendly smile on his face.

He clasped his hands and began calling out some names.

"Ye Gou, Ye Shou, and Ye Ling."

The three names were the most recent talented among the younger generation. Both Ye Gou and Ye Shou had shown huge improvement in cultivation whereas Ye Ling had displayed a great understanding of the Guqin.

Guqin was a zither with seven strings and closely related to the Music Dao.

When the three individual heard their name being called out, they were instantly baffled.

"I-I didn't embezzle anything." Ye Gou hurriedly defended himself.

"Yeah, we can't even approach there unless we get the elder's permission." Ye Shou chimed in, unwilling to be incriminated unfairly.

Ye Ling also nodded her head, feeling astonished by her name being called out.

Despite their response, Ye Ming snorted and glared at them. "Shut up, will you? I'm doing this my way so unless I permit you to speak. You better keep that mouth shut."
