679 What Happened Back Then
Ming Yue smiled at Ye Wuhen’s praise and said humbly, “Senior, you flatter me. Those are all rumors spread by outsiders. I don’t dare to be arrogant.”
“Haha, not bad. You’re neither arrogant nor rash. You’re generous and will definitely succeed in the future.” Ye Wuhen smiled in satisfaction. Then, he glanced at Ye Qiu and walked towards the Cloud Platform without saying anything.
“Ye Wuhen of the Ye Clan greets Elder Meng.” After saying that, Ye Wuhen bowed. This was the greatest etiquette he gave Meng Tianzheng. It could be seen what kind of position Meng Tianzheng occupied in his heart. In this world, only Meng Tianzheng could make him lower his head like this.
Meng Tianzheng shook his head as he looked at Ye Wuhen’s white hair. He knew very well what kind of pain Ye Wuhen had experienced back then. If it weren’t for his strong heart, anyone else would have gradually lost themselves in that pain and torture and become a complete lunatic.
“Sigh… Wuhen, it’s been many years since we last met. You’re no longer the same as before.” Meng Tianzheng sighed and felt a little regretful. The high-spirited kid back then, who was not afraid of anything, was already white-haired and much more haggard.
Meng Tianzheng had personally witnessed everything back then. Unfortunately, he couldn’t interfere. This was because that was the riot of the Ye Clan and had nothing to do with outsiders. All he could do was pull Ye Wuhen out of the abyss at his most desperate moment. It could be considered as not living up to his old friend’s expectations.
Facing Meng Tiantian’s words, Ye Wuhen shook his head and smiled bitterly. “People have to learn to grow. Back then, I was still too young, arrogant, and condescending. If I had realized it earlier back then, this situation wouldn’t have happened. Uncle Meng, I still have to thank you for pulling me back from the abyss and giving me hope to live again.”
Ye Qiu and Ming Yue whispered behind them. “Could there be some story behind this?” Ye Qiu was puzzled. He looked at the white hair on Ye Wuhen’s head and thought that he was deliberately pretending to be handsome to dye his hair white. After all, he looked handsome and good at fighting.
Ming Yue glanced at him and explained, “Don’t you know?”
“I don’t know. What’s the story behind this?” Ye Qiu really didn’t know. Of course, Ming Yue didn’t know much. She only knew a little and didn’t know the details. Because at that time, she was still very young and had only heard others mention it.
“Yes, decades ago, there was an internal strife in the Ye Clan. Because the previous Patriarch suddenly passed away, the new Patriarch was not appointed. After the previous Patriarch passed away, a family internal strife erupted in order to rule the entire Ye Clan.”
“Among them, there are also various factions and families in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. They secretly interfered and helped the faction that they support.
“In that internal strife, Patriarch Ye experienced the tragic death of his wife, the death of his eldest son in the sea of flames, the betrayal of his brothers, and the various blows of fighting. His hair turned white overnight.
“In that chaos, only his youngest son, who was still in his infancy, was lucky enough to survive and was brought back to the Heaven Mending Pavilion by the First Elder. Other than that, no one survived. All his blood relatives have already fallen in the sea of flames.
“From that moment on, Patriarch Ye became a demon and became a complete killing god. He personally killed those who betrayed him, suppressed the riot of the Ye Clan, and successfully rose to power.”
Hearing Ming Yue’s explanation, Ye Qiu’s heart trembled. He had an indescribable feeling. It was very shocking. He did not expect Ye Wuhen’s experience to be so heavy. If it was an ordinary person, they probably wouldn’t be able to withstand such a blow, right?
He could not help but admire him. At the very least, he had never experienced such torture and could not experience that despair. However, when he thought about it, he could feel that if a person really reached the point of no return, the potential that erupted would be incomparably crazy. Even if he saw any hope, he would clutch it tightly like a life-saving straw.
“I see. No wonder I felt that suffocating pressure when I first saw him. This murderous aura is very heavy. I can tell that Senior Ye is a ruthless person.” Ye Qiu couldn’t help but comment, feeling a little more reverence.
He had always respected the strong. Just Ye Wuhen’s encounter was enough to obtain Ye Qiu’s respect. In that case, Ye Qingxuan should be his last gentleness and only concern, right? Only in front of Ye Qingxuan would he show his amiable side.
“Hmm… Such people are often the most terrifying.”
Ming Yue looked up at Ye Qiu quietly. She suddenly felt that the Ye Qiu in front of her was especially like Ye Wuhen. She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she kept feeling that the two of them were inexplicably similar. The temperament they emitted was so similar.
Perhaps Ming Yue had seen it wrongly, but she didn’t continue to dwell on this problem. After a while, she said, “This Patriarch Ye was once a famous figure in the world. His elegance when he was young wasn’t much inferior to yours.”
Ye Qiu agreed with this. Every era had outstanding figures from that era. They all emitted the charm of that era and created the stories of that era. There was no comparison. Only their elegance mattered.
Meng Tianzheng couldn’t help but sigh when he heard Ye Wuhen’s heartfelt words. His heart ached. “Sigh, poor child…”
Back then, the previous Patriarch of the Ye Clan, Ye Wuhen’s biological father, was Meng Tianzheng’s good friend. It could be said that he had watched Ye Wuhen grow up. He blamed himself when he saw him like this.
Meng Tianzheng blamed himself for letting down his old friend back then. However, he understood that he could not take action in that situation because once he did, he would only implicate more. His identity was too special. Once he was involved, more watchers would appear. At that time, the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Lands would erupt with an unprecedented despair.
Meng Tianzheng had his own considerations. What Ming Yue said was only what the outside world said.
In reality, he knew very well that the chaos back then was not only the Ye Clan’s own riot. There were too many things involved, so much that even Meng Tianzheng could not guarantee that he could completely suppress it.
Fortunately, Ye Wuhen did not disappoint him. He successfully walked out of the abyss of despair and regained control of the Ye Clan to suppress this chaos.
Seeing Meng Tianzheng’s depressed expression, Daoist Tianyuan vaguely guessed and pondered. He also knew about the chaos back then. Then, he looked at Ye Wuhen and said, “You’re the new Patriarch of the Ye Clan, the eldest son of Fellow Daoist Ye Tianshi, right?”
Hearing this, Ye Wuhen looked over and realized that the person who spoke was actually the First Elder of Heavenly Saint Mountain, Daoist Tianyuan. He hurriedly said, “Senior, it’s me.”
He was also shocked. He was so focused on talking to Meng Tianzheng that he didn’t notice that this old powerhouse was also here.
