Chapter 1771: He Knows
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The seven old masters were not young men anymore. People at their old age easily got ill. It was reasonable that the old masters fell ill. It was a bit unbelievable that the seven of them fell ill at the same time, but it was possible.
“In fact, Monarch Ye is a lucky man, and he is doing quite well, but he is still too young…” Master Yun sighed and said, “We have sent so many people to join the Monarch’s Hall, but he doesn’t know. He should be more alert. Ah, the young generation…”
“Doesn’t he know? Too young?” Master Guan said, “Old Yun, let me tell you something. You can underestimate yourself, but never underestimate that kid. It would be absurd if he doesn’t know the backgrounds of his people!”
“Old Guan is right. According to the information I have received, many people of our seven clans have joined the Monarch’s Hall. Do you know any of them taking the important positions in the organization? Think about it… People from the same clan are always separated into different groups, following different leaders. It is difficult for them to keep communicating with each other. Do you know if Ye Xiao knows about our people’s backgrounds? I think your heads are full of trash if you deny it!” Master Yue said.
“Humph!” The other people humphed and stared at Master Guan. “One of your men became one of the Seven Stars, and another became the leader of a unit… The others are just normal.”
“The Guan Clan has one leader of a unit and one of the Seven Stars Warriors. The Yue Clan has two leaders of two units. The Song clan has one leader of one unit…” Master Ju said, “The other four clans have nothing…”
Master Guan looked happy. “Well, there is nothing we can do. You are not as close to the Monarch’s Hall as we! Humph…”
Master Qin was obviously annoyed. “How come?”
“Old Song and I have supported Monarch Ye in the beginning. He trusts us. The great ancestor of the Yue Clan, Yue Youyou, has contacted Monarch Ye, and he protected the young man once. That is why he treats the Yue Clan better!”
Master Guan blandly said, “Old Yun, do you think the young man is stupid? Do you think he knows nothing? Do you really think that he doesn’t know anything about our people?
“If he is really that ignorant, he is no different from Ye Yunduan! Let me tell you something. He knows everything about every single one of his men! He knows all!
“He has the capability!
“He keeps it a secret, because he shows us respect.” Master Guan said, “Think about it. People would love to join the Hall of Life and Death. Why would he accept our children? Our children have to be loyal to the Monarch’s Hall, don’t they?
“He is truly a king!
“He is the man who does great things!”
Master Guan made the conclusion.
A king who did great things!
The old masters were all shocked.
He accepted the men from the seven clans because he respected the Seven Golden Lotuses, because he has the heart of a great man. He separated these men and gave them no chance to be united, because he was wise.
He was the man who could do great things!
The seven old men were all cunning old foxes, so they knew Ye Xiao’s plan. When the seven clans secretly sent their people to the Monarch’s Hall, Ye Xiao realized it and casually made an arrangement about it…
He kept his mind sharp, and did a great job.
Everything was under control.
The seven clans had a long history, and they had done such great jobs to secretly send their people to join the Monarch’s Hall. They didn’t even realize what each other had done!
However, Ye Xiao noticed, and he made great arrangements to deal with the possible problem!
“Such a genius!” Master Qin sighed.
“We must report this to the seven great ancestors.”
Master Guan said, “We have a decision to make, but… Our decision is violating the rules of the Seven Golden Lotuses. We… We can’t disrespect our ancestors.”
“What if we break the vow? Are we to be blamed? Most importantly, I don’t get any confidence from the Great Ye Clan…”
Master Yue breathed a long sigh and said, “Compared to Monarch Ye, the Great Ye Clan… I am afraid we are following the Great Ye Clan to destruction.”
“We know… But… The seven great ancestors made their vows… Perhaps, it is more important for them to keep their words than survival.” Master Qin showed a bitter face. “Otherwise, we don’t need to hide this from them, do we?”
“The Monarch’s Hall has grown strong. It is getting more and more powerful. We didn’t give them help when they desperately needed some. If we even fight them when they really don’t need help, I am afraid… We must make the decision soon…”
Master Guan said, “I am sure about one thing. When Ye Xiao attacks, he aims at the Great Ye Army, and Ye Yunduan!”
“I talked about Ye Yunduan earlier. The Great Ye Army was going to kill somebody, but Ye Xiao saved those men. In fact, Ye Xiao was so cruel, having over a hundred superior cultivators of the Great Ye Army killed! He is powerful!”
“That’s right. He thinks he can defeat the Great Ye Army. That is why he saved the men!”
“It is a signal. He uses blood to make an announcement!”
“He is telling us that he is going to fight Ye Yunduan. We must make our choice now!”
Master Song sighed and said, “If we hesitate right now, or we decided to stand on Ye Yunduan’s side, Ye Xiao will send our men back!”
“Well, it will ruin the connection between Monarch’s Hall and us, which we earned by a lot of hard work. Our children will lose their bright future.”
