Ye Changfeng, who still harbored some doubts, thought that the live broadcast might have been faked!


    But as soon as the phone connected, Ye Changfeng saw on the live broadcast that Gu Feng''s cellphone rang, Gu Feng glanced at it, then said something to Yu Linglong and the others beside him, and left the frame with his phone in hand.


    Wow!


    Could it actually be real?


    Seeing such a scene, Ye Changfeng was actually starting to believe what Gu Feng had announced earlier.


    His silly grandson had been plotting for the last five years? He had already entered the Xuanwu Region five years ago, and he was even one of the renowned Four Heavenly Kings!


    "Elder Ye..."


    Once the phone was connected, Gu Feng greeted Ye Changfeng respectfully.


    Although Gu Feng was also a leader of the Xuanwu Region, holding a position at the same level as Ye Changfeng,


    the prestige that Ye Changfeng held in all of Great Xia was unmatched, so even Gu Feng had to be extremely polite in front of Ye Changfeng.


    "Gu Feng, you old geezer, what you announced at the conference just now, was it true or false? Ye Fan, at such a young age, has actually become the Xuanwu Region''s Deputy Commander. Are you out of your mind?"


    Although Ye Changfeng''s mouth was reprimanding and complaining, the corners of his lips had actually curled up to the heavens.


    There was a certain amount of boasting and showing off in this statement from Ye Changfeng!


    "Absolutely true! Elder Ye, you''ve raised a good grandson indeed... Five years ago, in that battle in the Xuanwu Sea Area that showed the mettle of Great Xia, it was Young Master Ye who was in command. That battle promoted Young Master Ye to one of the Four Heavenly Kings, universally acknowledged by everyone... And there''s more..."


    Today''s public announcement of Ye Fan''s position was also with his permission, so Gu Feng held nothing back in front of Ye Changfeng and recounted some matters not suitable for public disclosure.


    As he listened to Gu Feng, Ye Changfeng learned that there were indeed so many unknown contributions that had been made by Ye Fan. One could say that although the Xuanwu Region had been stationed in the southeast of Great Xia for many years, it was really Ye Fan who had firmly established their foothold and won a great portion of the territory.


    "Ma Wencai is dead?" Ye Changfeng''s expression froze; although he had anticipated it, thinking about his old comrade-in-arms meeting his end like that still made him somewhat sad.


    "I understand!" As a commander who had control over a million-strong army, Ye Changfeng immediately knew what Ma Wencai''s suicide apology was aiming for after a moment''s thought, "Xiao Fan, I have a general understanding of some past actions of the Ma Family! My suggestion is, since Ma Wencai is already dead, there''s no need for relentless extermination, what do you think?"


    After all, they had been through life and death together, and although the subsequent actions and choices of the Ma Family were uncomfortable to deal with, they had not directly acted against the Ye Family, and their mistakes weren''t deserving of death. Thus, Ye Changfeng, considering the face of his old brother, still wanted to spare the lives of people from the Ma Family.


    "Alright! I got it!"


    Ye Fan had called Ye Changfeng precisely to hear his grandfather''s thoughts. Since his grandfather wished to preserve his old comrade''s lineage, Ye Fan naturally intended to follow his grandfather''s wishes.


    Flower Capital, the Ma Family courtyard!


    Ma Wei and other core disciples of the Ma Family, bodyguards, and others were still kneeling on the ground nervously, waiting for Ye Fan''s final decision.


    "Alright! Get up... Out of respect for your father, I can forgive you..." With a wave of his hand, Ye Fan''s words instantly made Ma Wei and the others let out a sigh of relief.


    At this moment, their backs were soaked in sweat, their bodies trembling.


    With Ye Fan''s words, Ma Wei knew that his father''s death had not been in vain, and the Ma Family lineage could at least continue.


    Ye Fan looked at Ma Wei and the others with a faint smile on his lips, "However, although you may escape the death penalty, I still need to keep some leverage... to ensure you won''t cause any trouble!"


    As Ye Fan spoke, he reached into his pocket and took out a few pills, handing them to Ma Wei.


    Even though his grandfather had said not to kill them, in Ye Fan''s heart, not supporting the Ye Family was equivalent to betrayal, and he still needed to guard against it!


    "What... what is this?" Ma Wei looked at the black pills in his hand, feeling uneasy.


    "These are the Bloodthirsty Gu larva from the Gu Sect, with the Mother Gu inside me! Once ingested by the host, they will always lie dormant within the host''s body. If you have any disloyalty, the Bloodthirsty Gu will automatically activate, devouring your brains... Besides, if my life is in danger, you will die with me! So, it''s up to you to decide what to do!"


    Ye Fan would never let others control his life, nor would he leave it in the hands of enemies...


    These Poison Gu were the best form of defense and assurance!
