Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 492 - 490: Infiltrating the Ye Family

Zhao Ping looked at Chen Fan with disdain, "With you? What kind of opportunity could you have? Besides bringing disgrace to our family, what value could you possibly have?"

Chen Fan smiled and said, "You’ll know when the time comes, I certainly won’t disappoint you."

Ye Ziqing stared at Chen Fan with a puzzled face; she could be one hundred percent sure that this man was indeed her good-for-nothing husband, but for some reason, she always felt that her husband had changed compared to the past, yet she couldn’t pinpoint exactly how he was different.

Could it be that he truly gained some opportunity these past few years, which made him different from before?

Soon, evening came.

Chen Fan followed Ye Ziqing’s family to the Ye Family ancestral home.

Because the Ye Family’s enterprises were vast and divided into many factions, their banquets were always very lively. Only the Ye Family ancestral home—comparable to the great houses of princes in ancient times—could accommodate so many people, so the annual grand banquets were always held there.

When Chen Fan and his group arrived, many Ye Family members had already gathered inside the residence, which was adorned with festive lanterns and decorations, radiating with liveliness.

They had just walked in when they attracted a lot of sneers. Everyone looked at them with scorn. Although they were all Ye Family members, these people seemingly did not regard Ye Ziqing’s family as equals.

Zhao Ping was furious but didn’t dare to say anything—after all, they were among the least regarded in the Ye Family.

At this moment, a young man around twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, surrounded by a group, walked over. This man was named Ye Qian, and those who scorned Ye Ziqing’s family all followed his lead.

Ye Qian sneered at Chen Fan, saying with a mocking tone, "Oh, isn’t this the useless Lin Yang? Haven’t you disappeared for several years? Why have you suddenly reappeared? Don’t you know that Ye Ziqing’s family is about to be expelled from the Ye Family? Returning at this time won’t get you any benefits!"

Chen Fan spoke indifferently, "We won’t be expelled from the Ye Family."

Ye Qian asked, "Oh? You’re so confident. Could it be that you think you can change your family’s situation? Brother, you’d better take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror. You’re the waste Lin Yang, do you think you have the ability to prevent your family from being expelled from the Ye Family?"

The crowd behind him erupted in laughter.

Chen Fan remained calm and said, "You’ll see when the time comes."

Ye Qian snorted, "Your entire family is a joke; you might as well not waste your energy here!"

After speaking, he led his group away in a huff.

Zhao Ping muttered curses under her breath at Ye Qian and his group, but she didn’t dare to speak too loudly for fear that Ye Qian might hear her. Given Ye Qian’s status in the family, she didn’t want to cause trouble for herself.

Ye Ziqing sighed helplessly and said, "This is our family’s current status within the clan; it’s nearly impossible to change it. When the time comes, we shouldn’t be too insistent. If we can’t change it, we’ll just follow the family’s decision. At worst, we’ll make our own way. As long as we’re willing to work hard, we’ll always have food to eat."

Chen Fan smiled at her, expressing great admiration for her quality, and then said, "Don’t worry, since I said I wouldn’t let you be expelled from the Ye Family, I will definitely change this situation."

Before long, it was time for the banquet to officially start, and the Ye Family members gathered. The head of the Ye Family, Ye Qiuchen, appeared in the courtyard amid the admiring gazes of everyone.

Chen Fan looked towards Ye Qiuchen and found that this elderly man with white at his temples had a very unique aura. It wasn’t particularly strong, but instinctively, Chen Fan felt a trace of fear; his intuition told him he had no chance of standing against this elder.

According to Divine Covenant’s records, Ye Qiuchen had entered the Ninth Grade of the Divine Realm years ago and was a top-tier powerhouse. The current Chen Fan was not yet able to contend with him.

It was precisely because of Ye Qiuchen’s presence that the Divine Covenant had not found a suitable candidate to undertake this task; after all, once exposed, none of the young talents could survive a strike from Ye Qiuchen.

Although Chen Fan was no match for Ye Qiuchen, escaping from him wouldn’t be a problem.

The banquet began, and as per the usual tradition, everyone reported their work. This was followed by a review and summary from Ye Qiuchen, and then rewards and punishments were given based on each family’s performance over the year.

After a while, Ye Qian stood up, cupped his hands towards Ye Qiuchen, and proclaimed loudly, "Grandfather, Ye Ziqing’s family is now of no value to the family. They have only leeched off the family’s resources without making any contribution for several years. According to family rules, they should be expelled from the Ye Family!"

Ye Qiuchen turned his head and looked over towards Ye Ziqing’s family, then nodded slightly, "Over the years, your family truly hasn’t made any contribution to the family. The Ye Family does not support the useless, so according to family rules, from today onwards, you..."

Chen Fan stood up, interrupting him, "Wait a moment!"

Ye Qian immediately spoke, "Lin Yang, this matter is already settled. Your family’s lack of contribution is a fact; don’t think about causing trouble here. If you anger Grandfather, you might not even be able to save your own life!"

Chen Fan smiled and said, "It’s true that our family hasn’t made any contributions to the family over the past few years, but that doesn’t mean we won’t make any in the future."

Ye Qian snorted, "With a useless thing like you, what contribution could you possibly make to the family!"
