Chapter 4083 We Can’t Beat Them....
“Primordial Red Lotus? You mean the Primordial Red Lotus? You, you mean our Ye Family possesses this thing?” His voice trembled in disbelief. The expression of the Second Master of the Ye Family changed slightly, then seemingly after he thought of something, his face was full of solemnity. Ye Feifei looked at the Old Predecessor of the Ye Family and said: “The Primordial Red Lotus is not from the Ye Family, it belongs to my Mother.”
“Nonsense!”
The expression of the Old Predecessor of the Ye Family changed drastically, as if he was afraid that she would say something that she shouldn’t say. He glanced at Du Fan and Bai Qingcheng and said anxiously: “What do you mean it isn’t the Ye Family’s property? Your mother is a member of the Ye Family, so how can you say that it doesn’t belong to the Ye Family? If it isn’t our Ye Family’s, our Ye Family clan wouldn’t have attracted such disaster.”
As if she had expected to hear such words, Ye Feifei’s face remained calm and she said: “After I was captured and taken to that place, I saw my Father and Mother. They asked me to give the Primordial Red Lotus to their Master, Feng Jiu. My purpose in coming back this time is firstly, to see how my family is doing, and secondly, to explain the matter clearly so that Old Predecessor and Second Uncle won’t worry.”
“Are your parents still alive?” The Old Predecessor of the Ye Family asked with a frown. “Are your parents still alive? Where are they? Why didn’t they come back with you?” The Second Master of the Ye Family asked hurriedly.
Ye Feifei lowered her head and said: “They’re dead.”
Upon hearing this, the hall became silent and no one spoke, as if it hadn’t come as a surprise. After all, after three years, even if they were still alive, they would be half-dead by now. When he thought of her words earlier, the Second Master of the Ye Family found it a little strange, as if she hadn’t planned to return to the Ye Family. So, he said: “Feifei, now that everything at home is fine, I’m glad that you’re back. Have a good rest at home! Second Uncle will take care of you on behalf of your parents in the future.”
The Old Predecessor of the Ye Family didn’t speak, no one knew what he was thinking.
“Thank you Second Uncle, but my parents asked me to give the Primordial Red Lotus to their Master and at the same time, they also asked her to take care of me. So…” She was interrupted before she could finish speaking. “Give the Primordial Red Lotus to them?” The Old Predecessor of the Ye Family’s face turned ghastly and he exclaimed in a somewhat inappropriate manner. “Yes.” Ye Feifei said, then bowed to them: “We still have something else to take care of, so we will leave first.” The Old Predecessor of the Ye Family wanted to say something, but the Second Master held his hand and stopped him. The Second Master of the Ye Family stood up and bowed to Du Fan and Bai Qingcheng, then said: “I’ll have to trouble you to take care of Feifei in the future.”
Du Fan smiled and returned his bow, then said: “Goodbye.” Then, he glanced at Ye Feifei and walked out with them. As he watched them walk out, the Old Predecessor of the Ye Family looked at the Second Master sullenly and asked: “Why do you mean by this? Are you just letting them leave like this? Are you just going to hand over a treasure like the Primordial Red Lotus to them just like this?”
The Second Master of the Ye Family sighed and replied: “Old Predecessor, they are not ordinary people. The Primordial Red Lotus is also not an ordinary treasure. It’s better that they take it with them. If it stays in our family, who knows when it will bring disaster to our family clan again?”
He paused, then looked outside and continued speaking: “Besides, they are the Ghost Doctor’s people, and the treasure belonged to Elder Sister-in-law. Since this is her arrangement, then we should just follow it. We can’t snatch it after all, can we? What’s more, even if we try to rob them, we can’t beat them, so why bother making them our enemy?”
