Chapter 1025: Equal Match

Chapter 1025: Equal Match

Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy

Ye Xiao was lost in thoughts.

When he was Xiao Monarch in the previous life, he had only experienced the difficulty at the beginning of his life. After that, he had been living like a dragon and become a super powerful cultivator at the end.

He had the power and social position to do all those glorious and heroic things!

However, he never knew the rules all those small clans should follow to survive the world because he was never a member of any clan.

Just like Ye Tianchen said, Ye Clan was not a big clan. It seemed to be a conqueror of a certain area, but was, in fact, nothing in the eyes of the true powerful figures. That was awkward. They could have been wiped out just because they accidentally pissed off a powerful man.

It was such an awkward situation for a clan because of the position the clan was in. They were better than the worst but much worse than the best. They had no powerful support from outside. The real powerful figures never cared for such an unimportant clan. They were living to survive in the crevice of the society.

What they had to pay for the survival were always too sorrowful and insufferable to tell!

The young generation of Song Clan, Ye Clan, and Li Clan seemed to be riding the high horses in Oracle District, like they were only second to god, but the leadership of these clans clearly knew that they were just nothing in people's eyes when they went out this district. They were too weak.

That was the reason why people in Oracle District barely left their hometown to seek for more successful achievement!

For those powerful sects, any forces from Oracle District were just some weak medicine collectors.

They were only useful for medicine collection, nothing more.

After all, people in powerful sects would never go to the wild only to collect some medicines. That was wasting time and reducing their value.

It was perfect to let the native people in Oracle District do the meaningless work!

"He meant every word he said. He was telling the truth," Xuan Bing talked to Ye Xiao through mind communication.

In fact, even if Xuan Bing didn't say anything, Ye Xiao knew it himself. This forefather of Ye Clan was telling the truth. He meant every word he just said. He was being honest because he wanted to explain it to Ye Xiao. He wanted Ye Xiao to stop blaming the leadership of Ye Clan.

Ye Xiao blandly said, "I have no interest in your clan business. However, I appreciate your explanation. And I am sorry to hear it."

Ye Tianchen spoke bitterly with a smile, "No need to appreciate me. No need to feel sorry. I have been feeling the pain for many years. I am old. I guess I should at least tell the public why we made that decision.

"It has been buried inside my heart. It tortured me. I am afraid that the truth from my side will be buried with my dead body one day and nobody will ever get to know it, nobody will understand why we did it.

He smiled bitterly and said, "When we knew Nantian might become friends with a saintess in Qiong-Hua Palace, we were so happy because it was such a great thing for us. We might get a long-term connection to Qiong-Hua Palace. That was definitely a great opportunity for Ye Clan to rise.

"However, Nantian should never become lovers with the saintess and even dream about marrying her. The step he took in their relationship caused a disaster in Ye Clan."

"Dragon to dragon; phoenix to phoenix; mouse to mouse…" Ye Tianchen seemed self-mocking. He smiled bitterly and said, "It is the basic standard for a couple to be equally matched. Ye Clan is so much weaker than Qiong-Hua Palace. We are in two totally different leagues. They didn't get the right to marry each other. Besides, Ye Nantian was going to marry a saintess of Qiong-Hua Palace.

"For example, if a millionaire's daughter is going to marry a guy who was poor and heavily-indebted, he might want to cripple his own daughter, but he would definitely disable that stupid man.

"It wasn't just about respect… It concerns a lot of things. It concerns one's dignity, emotion, friend circle, reputation… Qiong-Hua Palace could never accept such an embarrassment. Ye Clan was never qualified enough to be connected to them in such a way. It is fine if a toad only dreams about marrying a swan, but it will be courting death if it attempts to do so."

What Ye Tianchen said was understandable for Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao totally got it.

If Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue were only friends, even close friends, she would still be the saintess of Qiong-Hua Palace, so she was definitely capable of benefiting Ye Clan to help them rise soon.

However, if they were married, it meant Qiong-Hua Palace's saintess was stained.

When a toad married the swan, the swan was no longer anything graceful, elegant, and special. A saintess who married a man from a low clan was no longer a saintess. When that happened, if the great palace only blamed the person who stained their saintess but spared the others in his clan, it would be a great mercy.

In fact, if Ye Nantian was in a higher position in the martial world, things might end up differently. If he was a disciple of one of the seven great sects, he might be considered an equal match to her.

However, he was not!

He was only a man of a local clan of Oracle District. Even though he was known as a talented man in his clan, it wouldn't help.

That was where the tragedy began.

"Equal match…" Ye Xiao made a long sigh.

"There may be lots of unworthy men in the clan. We may have made many decisions that destroyed our talented members, but… it is something we have to do."

Ye Tianchen spoke seriously, "The clan has to live on. When the water is too clear, there are no fish. One should not demand absolute purity, otherwise, he will have no friends.

"I decided to come today because deep in my heart, I know I have to do this. I have to seize the opportunity to ask for your help so that our clan will live on."

He made a long sigh and looked at Ye Xiao. "Please, little brother, I am begging your forgiveness. I have explained about the past. This time, the trip to the mountain, Ye Clan has to be a part of it."

"No! No way!" Li Clan people jumped out and shouted before Ye Tianchen finished. "Brother Ye is our honorable guest. We made a deal… Why do you Ye Clan have to make such demand…"
