Gods: Start with Goblins

Originally, the elder was not very concerned about what she wanted to report.

But when he heard that it was related to the recent extermination of a branch, he called the person in.

The elders were all sitting, looking down at her with great dignity.

"You said it was something related to the branch. What was it?"

Ye Man didn't say much. After bowing, he directly presented the evidence.

"Elders, please look at this. This is the evidence I have collected about the crimes of this branch over the years. It contains all the illegal activities they have committed."

She cupped her hands and respectfully presented the evidence with a stern look in her eyes.

When the elders and others heard this, their faces suddenly turned ugly.

Instead of looking at the evidence, they looked at Ye Man who brought up all this.

"Ye Man, we are currently discussing the matter of making a decision for the collateral branch. Why are you suddenly presenting their evidence of guilt?"

When the elder asked this question, there was a hint of pressure in his voice.

There was also a hint of dissatisfaction towards her.

However, even though Ye Man felt it, she had no intention of backing down.

She just raised her head and met their eyes directly.

"I believe the elders understand what I mean. I heard that the elders are discussing punishing those who harmed Zhi. However, the evidence shows that Zhi was the first to cause trouble and bring disaster to others. Elders, we should first eradicate the cancer within the clan instead of blindly blaming others."

"Ah."

As soon as he finished speaking, an elder from the clan sneered.

"No wonder you came here in such a hurry. You didn't speak for the Wang family, but for outsiders. Ye Man, don't forget that although your surname is Ye, you are still a member of the Wang family. One of the Wang family's branches was killed and one was injured by others, and you are still picking on your own family!"

Ye Man suddenly looked up and stared at the person who was attacking her with sharp eyes.

"No, I'm not nitpicking. I'm being realistic. It was the branch that did something wrong in the beginning, so it's only right that they should be retaliated against. The Wang family doesn't reflect on themselves, but instead uses the power of the entire clan to deal with the victim. This doesn't make sense. If the Wang family wants to become bigger and stronger, and want to become a clan that everyone admires, they shouldn't use their numbers to bully the few, but convince others with reason!"

Few people believed what she said, and few people agreed with her remarks.

Almost all the elders had gloomy faces, and the faces of the elders were not looking good either.

"So what? Do you think you can turn the tide just with these few pieces of evidence?"

The most powerful elder simply swept the paper away, and it fell to the ground.

"Ye Man, you have to remember that we are attacking Luo Dan not to seek justice, but to restore the reputation of the Wang family. If we don't do something, then everyone will think that the Wang family can be bullied. The Wang family must not be bullied by anyone at will!"

Ye Man frowned tightly and just asked a question in return.

"Even if we are wrong?"

"Yes, even if the Wang family is wrong, we must be right. In this world, the winner is the king and the winner survives. This has been the truth since ancient times."

Ye Man didn't understand what this nonsense was and didn't listen to it at all.

After hearing this, she felt a hint of irony in her eyes.

No wonder Luo Dan wanted to kill people. It was probably because the father and son of the Wang family were of such a character that they completely annoyed Brother Luo and made him take action.

"Ye Man, just remember, work for the Wang family. Don't forget that your father is also from the Wang family. We called you back this time because we hope you can restore the reputation of the Wang family. This is the most important thing!"

At this time, an older elder looked at Ye Man seriously for a while, and suddenly said something unexpected.

"Ye Man, do you know this Luo Dan? You always don't care about other people's affairs, but this person is an exception. You seem to want to protect this person!"

Although this elder didn't say much, he hit the nail on the head.

His cloudy eyes seemed to see through something. He looked at Ye Man like that, as if he could see through all the emotions in her heart.

Ye Man was startled and subconsciously avoided his gaze, unwilling to look him in the face.

This great elder is the best at seeing into people's hearts. I didn't expect that he could figure out so much from just a few words from her.

Yes, she did plan to save Brother Luo.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to find the evidence and try every possible means to exonerate him.

"What, Ye Man, what are you thinking? You actually want to protect this enemy who harmed the Wang family. Do you know that he is the enemy of the entire Wang family?"

The other elders finally reacted and immediately blamed Ye Man.

Ye Man pursed her lips, said nothing, and did not acknowledge what the elder had said before.

"I am only discussing the matter at hand. I hope that the elders can distinguish right from wrong. Besides, people have sharp eyes. Who did something wrong? What exactly happened? Don't you have any plans? If the elders insist on going their own way and shielding the evildoers, it might ruin the reputation of the Wang family and discourage those who originally wanted to join the Wang family. I am just standing on the Wang family's side and considering it for them."

She spoke righteously, as if she had no selfish motives at all.

Several elders looked at each other, as if they had taken her words to heart.

In the absence of evidence, they can pretend not to know and attack as a matter of course.

But with the evidence right in front of them, can they really continue to pretend to be blind?
Even if they are blind, are all the others blind?
Can't other people tell right from wrong, black from white?

Ye Man's words were like a knock on the Wang family's head.

I didn't say that it woke them up, but it did give them a reminder.

Since the original intention was for fame, one cannot be so blind.

Several people looked at each other, but no one said anything, and no one was determined to attack.

Ye Man continued.

"It seems that the elders have their own discussions. I have nothing to say here. I hope that the elders will consider it carefully and not ruin the Wang family's century-old reputation, nor ruin our future."

After saying that, she turned and left without staying any longer.

Several elders looked at her back and fell into deep thought.

One of them suddenly asked.

"What do you think?"

"I think what Ye Man said makes sense. I didn't expect this branch to have done so many evil things. If we still insist on causing trouble for them, I'm afraid we will end up being accused of bullying others with our power."

"Yes, it would have been fine if we didn't know before, but now that we know this, for the sake of the Wang family's reputation, we should think about it again. All the knowledgeable people in this world are watching us, so we must act carefully."

As a large family, the Wang family also needs to recruit experts.

If things are not handled fairly, those experts will be afraid to participate.

Isn't it a waste of time?
Finally, after some discussion, the elders decided not to move for the time being.

It was the oldest elder as before. He did not mention whether or not to attack, but instead mentioned something else.

"Ye Man, she gives me a very strange feeling. Speaking of which, she has become a little strange since she came back from the secret realm. Her actions make me wonder if it's because of Luo Dan."

This elder doesn't talk much, but every time he opens his mouth he attracts other people's attention.

The others seemed to respect him very much as well, and their attention was immediately diverted after hearing what he said.

"That's true. Ever since Ye Man came out of the secret realm, her behavior has changed a lot. Moreover, her strength has also increased a lot compared to before. She even gets distracted occasionally. This is not like her behavior."

There were some things that the elder didn't say explicitly, but he added something in his heart. It was like... he was feeling aroused.

Ye Man has such a proud character, and she looks down on everyone. Is it possible that one day she will fall in love with someone, or miss him/her silently?

The elder couldn't figure it out, but he began to doubt the matter.

Originally, there were no special people or special things during this period, so the elder kept the matter to himself. But when the elderly elder mentioned it, he immediately sorted out the doubts he had before.

Other elders also agreed.

As the key training target of the Wang family, Ye Man's every move is closely watched.

But since she came back from the secret realm, things are indeed different from before.

"This child used to be quick and cold-blooded, but during a previous training, she actually forgave her spirit beast."

"I don't know why, but she even let her opponent go. Even though this opponent is from the Wang family, isn't this a bit too indecisive?"

"Old elder, are you worried that Ye Man's change will be detrimental to the Wang family?"

Originally, Ye Man was the sharpest knife in the Wang family's hand.

But now this knife has a flaw and is more merciful than it should be.

Once a knife has human nature, the tip of the knife will become soft.

They didn't know whether the elderly elders were worried about this, but they were worried about it themselves.

The old elder just shook his head.

"No, you all look too shallowly and only see the surface. Never mind, send a few people to secretly investigate the secret realm, and then see the results after the investigation."

The elderly elder kept the question a secret and didn't say it too directly.

The others thought about it and agreed, so they all agreed.

They skipped the matter and decided to wait until the conclusion came out.

……

On this side, Ye Man paced back and forth in her room, feeling annoyed.

I wonder what the elders are thinking in the end and how they plan to treat Luodan?

She submitted so much evidence, it should be able to change their minds a little.

But she still felt unsure, even when she brought up the Wang family's reputation.

After walking for a while, she felt tired, so she sat down and poured herself a cup of tea. After taking a sip of the water, she felt a little more at ease.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Ye Man looked alert.

"Who?"

"Miss, it's me."

The voice of his personal maid, who was also his most trusted maid, was heard outside.

When she found out that it was her confidant, the vigilance in her eyes decreased a lot.

"come in."

The maid quickly opened the door and entered, then carefully closed the door.

Ye Man was a little anxious at the moment, and asked without waiting for anyone to come up to her.

"How's it going? Did you get any results on the matter I told you not to ask about?"

The maid nodded.

"I am of low status and cannot get close to the elders. I don't know what they are discussing, but I heard from other members of the Wang family that they don't seem to be preparing for war like before. The elders have also withdrawn a lot of people. It seems that they don't plan to deal with Luo Dan for the time being."

After hearing this, although she didn't know whether it was true or not, Ye Man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh, it seems that the elders have listened to my words, or maybe they have other plans. In any case, being able to pause and give people a chance to breathe is a good thing."

She murmured to herself, seemingly lost in her own thoughts, her voice was a little audible, and the maid couldn't hear it clearly.

After careful analysis, I still couldn't tell the difference, so I asked.

"Miss, what are you talking about? Is there anything else?"

Ye Man just waved her hand.

"No, nothing else, you can go down first."

The maid tilted her head. Although she was confused, she still obediently left.

After she left, Ye Man, who was much calmer, came to the window and opened it.

Looking at the bright sky outside, she clasped her hands together and prayed silently.

[Oh God, please protect Brother Luo and don't let anything happen to him. He is a good man and I don't want to stand against him.]

Anyone is fine, except Luodan. She doesn't want to fight with him.

Luodan didn't know that someone was praying for his safety, nor did he know that someone was doing everything possible for his own safety.

Not only did he kill Wang Wuyi, but he also abolished Wang's father's cultivation. If he was a little afraid of death, he should have left earlier.

Everyone in the town thought so, but Luodan did not leave.

What a joke. It's not my fault, why should I leave?

Is it because he is afraid of revenge from the Wang family behind him?

No, when he made his move, when he knocked on the door, I was not afraid at all.

His Xiaobai was so moved that he dared to kidnap his little fox privately. This price was still too small to pay.

So he settled down leisurely in the small town and did what he usually did.

The people in the small town never expected that his fame would gradually spread.

Firstly, it was said that he was very powerful, and secondly, he was skilled in alchemy.

It turned out that after he settled down here, he opened a medicine shop.

At first, some people came just because of his reputation and had no expectations for the elixir.

But after using it, I realized that it was a top-quality elixir. Its quality was much better than ordinary-grade elixirs, and it was also a top-grade elixir.

This was like poking up an ant's nest, and the whole town became lively.

"Hey, have you heard that the guy who broke into the Wang family before didn't run away, but actually opened a medicine shop in this small town!"

"I heard about it, I heard about it. He is really powerful. He killed Wang Wuyi and Master Wang, but nothing happened to him. I was worried that someone from the Wang family would seek revenge on him. After so many days, there has been no movement. Do you think that person is so powerful that even the people from the Wang family dare not do anything to him?"

"It is very possible. Otherwise, given the Wang family's temperament, how could they sit and wait for death for such a long time?" (End of this chapter)
