Ye Xuan asked this because he wanted to confirm how deep his grandfather’s feelings for him were. He thought for a moment and said faintly, “I assume you called my whole family back because of the invitation letter from the Hanlin Warrior Academy?”
Ye Zhengnan looked at his grandson in surprise and smiled, “Ye Xuan, you’re brilliant. Since you’ve already thought of it, I won’t hide it from you. That invitation letter is critical. If you’re not interested in becoming a warrior, I don’t want it to go to waste.”
Ye Xuan looked at his grandfather and asked, “Grandpa, can you tell me how this invitation ended up in my father’s hands?”
Ye Zhengnan nodded, “The Hanlin Warrior Academy has friends from the Ye family. Every year, when the school recruits, they send out an invitation. I don’t know why that person owes your father a favor until the invitation ended up in your father’s hands.”
Ye Xuan was speechless. So his father had actually intercepted the invitation that belonged to the Ye family for him. Although he had used his favor, it was inappropriate to do so. He had not taken into account Ye Zhengnan’s thoughts at all.
Ye Zhengnan himself should have distributed this invitation.
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan looked at his grandfather and said, “Then I understand. Grandfather, I have no objection to how you handle this invitation.”
The invitation letter to the Hanlin Warrior Academy was of no value to Ye Xuan. What Ye Xuan valued most was fatherly love.
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Ye Zhengnan patted Ye Xuan’s shoulder in relief and said, “Ye Xuan, your uncle’s son, Ye Ming, is about to break through to the Qi condensation realm. He should snowball if he can be sent to the Hanlin Warrior Academy for further studies. He is currently the person who needs the invitation letter the most in our Ye family.
“Of course, I don’t mean to force you to give the invitation letter to Ye Ming. If you have different ideas, you can also bring them up. We can compare who needs this invitation letter the most.”
Hearing this, Ye Xuan shook his head. “I have no objections. I’ll just follow your arrangements.”
“In that case, this matter is settled,” Ye Zhengnan chirped. Ye Xuan’s decision made him very happy. He did not expect things to go so smoothly.
Ye Xuan accompanied the old man, chatted for a while, and then went downstairs to his father’s side. The Ye family noticed this process, but no one paid attention to Ye Xuan. They did not look up to Ye Xuan at all in their hearts.
Ye Xuan did not care and sat next to his father.
Just as he sat down, a teenage girl ran over excitedly and said with a smile, “Brother Xuan, do you think my dress looks good today?”
Ye Xuan looked at the porcelain doll-like girl, and a smile immediately appeared on his face. “Xiao Mei is much prettier than this dress.”
This girl was the daughter of Ye Xuan’s fifth uncle. She was young but already very beautiful. Only this girl did not dislike Ye Xuan and would willingly address him as Brother among her peers.
Therefore, Ye Xuan also doted on her.
At this time, Ye Zhengnan also came down from upstairs. The noise in the living room immediately quieted down.
Ye Zhengnan suddenly said, “Zhenxiang, the invitation letter from Hanlin Warrior Academy is in your hands, right?”
Ye Zhenxiang’s heart sank when he heard this. He braced himself and said, “Yes, dad, it’s in my hands.”
Hearing Ye Zhenxiang admits it, the members of the Ye family immediately cry out in surprise. They did not know that this precious invitation letter had fallen into Ye Zhenxiang’s hands.
“Their whole family is trash. How did the invitation get into their hands?”
“Could it be that they used some underhanded means to seize it by force?”
“It must have been prepared for Ye Xuan. It’s simply a waste.”
“If my son can enter the Hanlin Warrior Academy, he will definitely become the pillar of the Ye family in the future.”
Although the voices of these people were not loud, the people present were all-powerful. They heard every word.
Even an ordinary person like Ye Zhenxiang could hear it clearly. His expression immediately became very ugly.
Ye Zhengnan’s gaze swept across the entire scene as he said softly, “I’m sorry, but I have to ask you to hand over the invitation letter. Zhenxiang, who doesn’t want this invitation letter? If everyone uses their connections to intercept it as you did, then our Ye family will fall into disarray. This Hanlin Warrior Academy can only be attended by those with the most potential in the Ye family.”
Ye Zhenxiang’s face was gloomy, but he had no intention of taking out the invitation. It was something he had prepared for his son, and he could not hand it over no matter how much pressure he had to bear.
However, before he could speak, Ye Zhengnan said again, “Zhenxiang, I know that you love your son deeply, but I hope that you can look at the bigger picture.
“Today, I’m prepared to let the younger generation of the Ye family have a simple spar. The one who shows the brightest potential will win the invitation. How about that?”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone held their breaths and nervously waited for Ye Zhenxiang’s reply. Everyone present wished to proceed according to the old man’s words. Only Ye Zhenxiang was unwilling, but he had no choice. He could only nod helplessly.
With Ye Zhenxiang’s nod, all the tables and chairs in the hall were instantly cleared out to make room for the sparring competition.
Ye Zhengnan said softly, “Who is willing to be the first to go on stage?”
The younger generation of the Ye family were all eager to give it a try, but they were not in a hurry to go on stage. After all, they did not have enough strength. Being the first to go on stage was the most disadvantageous.
Seeing his father’s ugly expression, Ye Xuan said directly, “Grandfather, since the invitation is in my father’s hands. Naturally, I will be the first to go on stage.”
With that, he swaggered to the middle of the stage.
Initially, his purpose of coming here today was to protect his father. The opportunity in front of him did not interest him at all.
Seeing this, the people of the Ye family were stunned. Even Ye Zhengnan was surprised.
When Ye Xuan was very young, he had left the family with Ye Zhenxiang. Without the support of the family’s resources, there was no way for him to practice his warrior skills in the mortal world.

But now, he had volunteered to be the first to go on stage?
Ye Zhenxiang’s face was full of nervousness. Liu Lingmei was even more nervous as she grabbed her husband’s arm. “Zhenxiang, can Ye Xuan really do it?”
Ye Zhenxiang was also extremely worried. “Since Ye Xuan chose to be the first to appear, he must have his own ideas. We have to believe him.”
“But these other children have the support of the family resources. They have practiced the warrior’s art for many years, and Ye Xuan has just become a warrior himself. The difference is huge.”
