Chapter 1789: A Bolt from the Blue

“I truly haven’t thought that Ye Changqing was actually so crazy to kill you, old masters… He actually got a series of plans for it…” Ye Xiao was wordless.

Nobody had ever thought of it!

But Ye Changqing just did it…

After all, as long as the seven old masters arrived at the Monarch’s Hall, they would see the true Young Master Yunduan. In that case, it was the end for Ye Changqing!

Even if the seven old masters compromised, it wouldn’t last forever. That was why he decided to kill them all, and blamed the Monarch’s Hall, so the seven great ancestors would fight the Monarch’s Hall and destroy it for him!

“That bastard… How… How dare!” The old masters were so angry talking about Ye Changqing.

“Well, this is not a bad thing anyway.” Master Qin looked sad. He said, “After this, I don’t think the great ancestors would still choose to remain united with the Great Ye Clan… Afterward, we will still respect the Great Ye Clan, but we are not bonded to them anymore. The lotus and the leaf are no more bonded as one!”

After Master Qin speaking, the other old masters were all spirited. They didn’t seem to be tired anymore.

“The Seven Golden Lotuses have been waiting for the day that the Great Master Ye promised for one hundred thousand years. This was too far from what we expected. We have lost hope. However, the clans must carry on the legacy… We have betrayed others many times. Monarch Ye is generous enough to forgive us, but we can never forgive ourselves…”

Master Qin raised up his head looking at Ye Xiao and said, “We shouldn’t ask for anything. However, for the children of our clans, we have made a decision. There is one thing we must ask you for, Lord Monarch.”

Master Qin looked over the other old masters.

The other six old men all looked determined, encouraging him to go on.

Master Qin slowly turned to Ye Xiao and said, “We… We want you to accept us! From now on, the Seven Golden Lotuses follow your lead!”

“Please, Lord Monarch!” The other six old men said.

They all looked so determined!

After all that had happened, things returned to the old days.

It had been tough, but it eventually came to a happy ending.

The old masters felt relieved. If Ye Changqing didn’t do those unforgivable things, it wouldn’t be easy for them to join the Monarch’s Hall…

Ye Xiao looked troubled. He had a deep breath and said nothing.

The old masters were surprised, and they looked at each other.

‘What does this mean? The Seven Lotus Clans is a great organization! Ye Yunduan only used less than ten percent of our true power… Now we are going to join the Monarch’s Hall. How come Lord Monarch doesn’t look happy?’

‘Is it… Does he still blame us for what happened? He doesn’t want to be connected with us, does he? Does he worry that we might still be attached to the Heaven’s Leaf?’

“Lord Monarch…” Master Guan asked, “Do you still… have doubts?”

Master Guan thought for a while and asked carefully. He was nervous.

Everybody was looking at Ye Xiao.

“I am not pretending anything… The Seven Golden Lotuses is shockingly powerful… I would jump up high with joy to welcome you… However…”

Ye Xiao smiled bitterly and said, “I can’t accept it. It is just… There are things… You are going to regret this in the future. You will be ashamed to face your great ancestors… Please, give it a second thought… I am a normal man. If you guys leave me again, I won’t be able to cope with it. I decide to cut off the possibility!”

Master Guan was shocked. He said, “Lord Monarch, you must be overthinking. Ye Yunduan tried to kill us. He has broken the vow. We are free to choose our ally now. The Seven Lotus Clans and the Heaven’s Leaf are no more bonded. We won’t leave the Monarch’s Hall!”

Master Guan thought that he knew the problem, but he didn’t. When the seven clans left the Monarch’s Hall, Ye Xiao was hurt, even though he said that he was not. Ye Xiao had all the reasons to have doubts. Master Guan was sure that they wouldn’t betray Ye Xiao again, so he made the promise!

Ye Xiao sighed and closed his eyes. He said, “There is something you don’t know… The man, Ye Yunduan, is not the real Young Master Yunduan… He is only Ye Changqing… Ye Yunduan is somebody else…”

“What?” The seven old masters were shocked.

“In fact, Ye Changqing is the blood of the Great Ye Clan as well, but he does not have the heritage of the Great Ye Clan. He was sent over to collect information.” Ye Xiao explained everything to the old men and told them he had saved the true Young Master Yunduan. “Therefore, Ye Changqing is a bastard, but he doesn’t represent the Great Ye Clan.

“I am telling you this because I don’t want you to make a decision that you will regret in the future. The vow is still a vow. If a traitor could easily ruin the promise between the Heaven’s Leaf and the Seven Lotus Clans, it won’t be right!”

Ye Xiao looked in pain. “I don’t want to tell you this, because I am delightful to have you on my side. However, I have to be honest. If I don’t tell you the truth, and you break your vow because of me, I won’t forgive myself! Therefore…”

– Puff! –

Master Qin fell down. He actually spat out a mouthful of blood.

It was too astonishing!

The other six old masters were blank as well.

Master Guan actually passed out.
