Just then, Ye Gui and his uncle rushed in, carrying shovels, looking ready for a fight. However, they froze upon seeing the situation.
Ye Gui shouted, "Sun, my Ye family isn't to be bullied. Get out!"
Ye Tian, amused and exasperated, asked, "What are you two doing here?"
Uncle: "I was afraid you, Xiao Tian, would be at a disadvantage."
Ye Tian replied, "I'm fine."
He then said to Sun Qichen, "I was quite polite to you last time, and you still dare to come back! This time, you won't be so lucky."
Sun Qichen let out a yell, turned, and bolted for the exit. But as soon as he reached the doorway, he cried out strangely and collapsed on the ground, unable to move.
Ye Tian said to the two men, "Break Sun Qichen's limbs, and I'll let you go."
The two exchanged a look, sighed softly, then rose and silently walked towards Sun Qichen.
A series of piercing screams echoed as the two men, with expressionless faces, broke all of Sun Qichen's limbs. They also delivered several blows with internal force.
Afterward, both men looked at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian instructed, "Take Sun Qichen home. If anyone causes trouble, you deal with them."
Sun Qichen had already passed out. Under the watchful eyes of his clansmen, the two men carried him back to the Sun family.
Not long after, cries of anguish erupted from the Sun family. Sun Qichen's parents, hopping with rage, were about to seek revenge on Ye Tian.
However, after only a few shouts, the two martial arts experts suddenly pinned Sun Qichen's father to the ground and began beating him. They were masters, and within moments, Sun Qichen's father was gasping in pain.
Sun Qichen, now conscious, yelled, "You were hired by me! Why are you listening to him?"
The bald man glanced at Sun Qichen and growled, "Are you blind? He's a Martial King, and a very high-level one at that! Even a Grandmaster would kneel and beg for mercy before him. We're nothing compared to him. You want us to confront him? That's sending us to our deaths!"
The other man with long hair said coldly, "We dare not disobey a Martial King's command, so consider yourself unlucky!"
Sun Qichen sighed deeply and said, "Dad, we have to concede! Take some gifts and apologize to the Ye family. Ask him to let us off."
Sun Qichen, having spent many years in the martial world, immediately recognized when a situation was hopeless and decisively backed down.
Sun Qichen's father, named Sun Jiaxian, fumed, "Qichen, our Sun family bullies others in the village; we've never been bullied! I'll call your uncle right now. I don't believe we can't deal with him!" Sun Qichen roared, "I said, we concede, don't you understand? If you keep causing trouble, we'll all die!"
Sun Jiaxian was startled. He looked at Sun Qichen and asked in disbelief, "Is it that serious?"
Sun Qichen sighed, "It might be even more serious. Dad, just listen to me."
Despite his immense reluctance, Sun Jiaxian, dragging his aching body, took a few younger relatives and went to the Ye family's ancestral home to apologize to Ye Tian.
At this moment, his uncle and Ye Gui were making small talk with Ye Tian, who, uninterested, was busy with his own affairs in the ancestral home.
Suddenly, Sun Jiaxian arrived with his entourage. He glanced at Ye Tian and then bowed deeply, "Ye Tian, Qichen was wrong before. I am his father, and I apologize to you on his behalf!" Ye Tian scanned him and retorted, "What's the use of an apology? If I were to desecrate your Sun family's ancestral graves and then apologize, would you forgive me?"
Sun Jiaxian's expression changed, "Ye Tian, what do you want? Our Sun family is a respected name in the village. Don't push your luck!" Ye Tian chuckled upon hearing this and said calmly, "I'm pushing my luck? Alright, you can go back."
Sun Jiaxian was taken aback, "Ye Tian, what do you mean?" Ye Tian replied, "I mean, you can leave!"
Sun Jiaxian was confused. Was it over just like that?
