Chapter 1631: Chapter 1632: There Are Worms Everywhere
"Hey, stop messing around, get up quickly, the chief has come in person, it seems something big has happened, he’s waiting outside now. Elder Shi almost barged in just now, and Yanran is still getting scolded."
What? Even if the chief is looking for me, even if I’m sleeping, what’s that got to do with Shi Yanran? Why is this old man giving his granddaughter a hard time?
Isn’t this just disrespecting me?
Ye Luo immediately got up, and with Ling Qingya’s help, he quickly tidied up and went out.
However, when he went out, he saw quite a scene; outside his room stood over thirty elders, most of whom were overseers of the Huaxia Great Clans. It seemed that this time the matter was indeed quite serious.
"Little Ye, you’re finally up. Didn’t you promise the chief to handle the border issue in three days?"
Elder Shi hurried to Ye Luo, speaking as he gave Ye Luo a meaningful look.
Ye Luo understood Elder Shi’s meaning because he had already noticed the unfriendly expressions on several old men behind Elder Shi.
"Oh, isn’t this just because I got too busy!"
Ye Luo chuckled, smiling at Elder Shi. Honestly, after taking advantage of Shi Yanran recently, he had to keep in line in front of Elder Shi.
But as for the others?
...
At this moment, an old man behind Elder Shi stepped out: "Hmph, too busy? I think you overslept in some woman’s embrace!"
Ye Luo glanced over but didn’t recognize this guy.
What’s this supposed to mean, trying to give me trouble?
However, Elder Shi held onto Ye Luo’s hand at this moment, clearly telling him not to get angry.
Fine, for Elder Shi’s sake, Ye Luo couldn’t be bothered to argue with this old guy and was prepared to say let’s set off now.
But unexpectedly, that old man simply gave him no face, becoming even more aggressive as he saw Ye Luo remain silent.
"Hmph, Ye Luo, the chief ordered you to deploy troops to the border, what have you been doing, messing around with your women every day? Your Ye Alliance hasn’t sent a single soldier, and you even have the mind to establish some rewards. Do you have any regard for the chief, any regard for Huaxia?"
Ye Luo was stunned, what a high hat this guy was trying to put on him, had he gone out of his mind?
Just then, another person stepped forward: "Ye Luo, don’t forget, you are a citizen of Huaxia. Are you planning to sell out your ancestors just because you have power? Hmph, you went to the Martial Realm, brought back some things, and only played factional games. What are you up to? Daring to disobey the chief’s orders?"
The smile on Ye Luo’s face slowly faded. If it wasn’t for Elder Shi holding him, he might have exploded already.
So these guys were just jealous of him, looking for a reason to cash in?
Such lofty banners, such high hats!
Damn it, just short of saying Ye Luo was rebelling!
Ye Luo wasn’t going to take this lying down!
"Shut up, I don’t care what privileged family you are, this doesn’t work in front of me, Ye Luo! My stuff, I give it to whomever I want, and I won’t give it if I don’t want to! Whether I’m a citizen of Huaxia isn’t up to parasites like you to decide. Help you? If I do, it’s my kindness; if I don’t, it’s my right! Get out of the Ye Alliance, people like you aren’t welcome here!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
With Ye Luo’s words, in an instant, hundreds of figures suddenly appeared, glaring fiercely at those people, making it clear that at Ye Luo’s command, they would kill them.
At this moment, Elder Shi tightened his grip on Ye Luo’s hand.
In truth, this action didn’t come from the chief’s signal, but from these guys acting on their own.
And Elder Shi was only called along because of his connection with Ye Luo.
In Huaxia, there are some privileged people, as their ancestors made great contributions to the country, so naturally, the nation takes care of them. Among these people, a very few rely on ancestral shadow, though not to the point of being lawless, they always disregarded others.
The two old men who spoke with Ye Luo were such people.
Despite their old age and seniority, they don’t count for anything in front of truly influential or respected figures!
With the exposure of the Hidden Sect and the rise of the Ye Alliance, many secular families originally started thinking about martial arts, not just in Huaxia; the martial arts wave has risen in countries across the Earth.
Ye Luo has always been regarded as just and upright, in fact, even in the families of these two elders, some were selected among the hundreds, though they were unwilling to give up cultivation, or simply didn’t trust Ye Luo, but seeing those who believed in Ye Luo gained tremendous power, they became envious!
This action was precisely stirred up by these two families, who were not quite major forces before, simply because they have connections, and indeed many people were jealous, so it led to this scene!
The fundamental reason was to gain benefits from Ye Luo, but they wrapped it under the banner of national interest, repeatedly pressuring Ye Luo!
They believed Ye Luo is upright and patriotic, so invoking national interest would make him cautious.
They thought Ye Luo was easygoing, always at the forefront, as such, a rash guy who would capitulate under a high title?
They assumed Ye Luo cared about Huaxia, even when he went to the Martial Realm, he found ways to return with things useful for Huaxia, so he should distribute them among them!
They thought...
What a bunch of assumptions!
Ye Luo’s sharp gaze saw through these people’s thoughts, they didn’t even bother to put up a fig leaf!
Indeed, this time, Ye Luo didn’t give any benefits to anyone or any faction besides the Ye Alliance.
Because those seeds were Ye Luo’s means to change the entire world!
Moreover, the things Ye Luo brought back were fundamentally unsuitable for being monopolized by any force.
Besides, Ye Luo valued not just Huaxia, but the entire Earth, after all, Earth is Ye Luo’s hometown, and also his second Divine Kingdom!
Furthermore, it’s not like Ye Luo hadn’t prepared anything, those technologies from the Martial Realm, who else but the country should he give them to?
But even if he gives them to the country, it’s not for these parasitic families.
Unexpectedly, neither the Great Clan nor those Hidden Sect forces sought trouble or asked Ye Luo for benefits, yet these insignificant bugs crawling from nowhere have popped out!
Ling Qingya in the room mentioned the chief had arrived, saying there might be issues at the border, at the time Ye Luo had felt guilty for breaking his promise.
