Chapter 756: The Stars Have Fallen (Part 8)

eached out with her white and tender finger to poke his forehead gently."Hehehe, what if Aunt Tang really came to see me" Ye Fan smiled shyly."You little rascal, you've gone too far! From now on, don'..."Ignorance, farewell on your journey..." Ye Wudao felt a deep sadness. He knew that the star had fallen and would never be seen again.

Just now, that thoughtless grandson of mine called me He said he's returned to the Ye family and wanted to know my thoughts.

What does it even mean This little imp, already making his own decisions and now asking me what I'm doing

He's gone, this life he will never return to the Ye family. But Ye Fan is different, he has never received any favors from the Ye family, he deserves the recognition of the Ye family, his return to the Ye family is justified.

But Ye Fan told him that the reason he changed his mind was because of someone from the Ye family. This person was the one who made Ye Wudao very conflicted.

Back then, it was this person who kicked him out. After many years, this person now wants to return as if nothing had happened. But can he truly go back

It seems like that grandson of his is in a really depressed mood, and he even told me to let go and forgive that person if possible!

Ye Wudao wanted to say something more, but Ye Fan suddenly said, "Because she's already gone..."

Ye Wu Dao’s electric *hua* fell from his hand, and he slumped heavily onto the chair. He was dead How could this be

He was in a state of conflict, feeling as if he had set something in motion. All the things he had held onto for years seemed to lose their meaning at this moment. He didn't know how he felt now, but he knew that in an instant, he had lost his bearings.

Yes, that person is already dead. What does he have left to let go of Is he going to take the hatred in his heart into the coffin

That night, Ye Wudao stood alone in the autumn wind all night. No one knew what he was thinking...

At the same time, many other people were also unable to sleep like him.

Among them, filial piety is one.

He too would stare blankly into space, his eyes unfocused. He'd stand outside for hours on end.

Suddenly, he felt someone gently put a garment on him.

He didn't look back, he knew who it was.

"Grandpa, it's windy outside. Don't catch a cold..." The speaker was Yan Wuque.

Yan Jiaoti slowly withdrew his unfocused gaze, sighed, and said: "To sum up, Ye Wuming is a respectable opponent. Wuque, prepare yourself, I'm going to light a stick of incense for Ye Wuming."

With not a single feather out of place, Yan Wu Que exclaimed in astonishment, “Grandfather, our relationship with the Ye family... now wouldn't be a good time to go to the Ye residence, would it”

He was right, the Yan family and the Ye family were already at odds. If they went to the Ye family now, the Ye family would probably think they were deliberately provoking trouble and would definitely launch a full-scale attack on the Yan family members.

Now, with the upcoming turnover of power, it's certainly not a good time for conflict. Everyone in Yanjing is currently on edge, afraid to make any moves. Until the turnover officially begins, anyone who acts recklessly risks facing dire consequences.

Yan Xiaoti naturally understood his grandson's meaning, and he waved his hand, "Ye Wuming is a man after all. The Ye family hasn't suffered any losses under his hands. Even when our family and several other families joined forces to deal with the Ye family back then, he was able to wisely choose to abandon Ye Wu Dao, who was at the peak of his power at the time. And now, he is even willing to put aside his prejudices to find Ye Wu Dao and his grandson. This kind of foresight is beyond my reach. He is a true sage; I am not as wise as him!"

Yan Xiaoti seemed quite moved, his expression full of sorrow. However, Yan Wuque didn't take it to heart. "Grandfather, you're overreacting. If Ye Wuming is really that capable, how could the Ye family decline"

Although he is dead, he has left the Ye family with an unyielding danger. The descendants of the Ye family will face the risk of internal strife. And when they are exhausted from fighting each other, the Yan family will strike at that opportune moment. The Ye family will then be forever trampled under their feet!

In the end, leaves are nothing but a single family's magnetic force...

But these words, he just wanted to swallow them. He didn't dare say them in front of his grandfather. He knew that in his entire life, his grandfather had never looked down on anyone lightly. Ye Wuming's death probably made him feel lonely and desolate.

As people get older, they often feel this way. Because their life spans are getting longer, the thing they fear most is becoming lonely and isolated.

Yan Wuque thought he understood his grandfather very well, but in reality, he didn't understand him at all. At the very least, Yan Xiaoti's words to him came from the heart. In his mind, among the few elders of the empire, Ye Wuming and Ye Wudao were the most powerful and reliable supporters. Others like Liu Lao Wei Lao, although they had held positions before, their ascension to power was more or less influenced by the Yan family's shadow. However, these two brothers from the Ye family had truly climbed step by step based on their own abilities. This was something that made Yan Xiaoxu deeply admire them.

Yan Xiaoti looked at his grandson, Wu Que, helplessly. Wu Que was still too young. Young people had one common flaw: they were arrogant and found it hard to accept opinions from others.

Now that he has himself, and can occasionally offer guidance. What if one day I too depart this life With his personality, will he be able to handle the potential chaos that may arise in the future

No! While my old bones are still holding together, I need to pave the way for completeness as soon as possible. Even if I have to leave, I want to do so with peace of mind.

"Wú Què, you prepare the altar for me. I'm going to burn incense for Ye Wúmíng under the moonlight." Yàn Xiàotì had made up his mind. No matter what, this time during the election, he had to make sure Wú Què became the leader!

Yan Wuque finally let out a breath of relief. It turned out that his grandfather was going to light incense for Ye Wuming here. This was easy to handle.

Yan Wuque quickly finished setting up the incense burner and altar. Yan Xiaote respectfully lit three incense sticks, inserted them into the burner, and faced the sky full of stars and a bright moon, but remained silent.

The servants were puzzled by what they saw. It wasn't the 15th of August, so why was their master paying respects to the moon

After finishing the incense, Yan Xiaoti's heart stirred with emotion. He looked at Yan Wuque and said, "Ye Wuming has fallen, and Ye Wudao is far away in Lishan. Now the Ye family is leaderless, Wuque, what do you plan to do next"

Yán Wúqiè knew this was his grandfather testing him, assessing his ability to adapt and make decisions.

Could Grandfather be preparing to pass the position of head of the family to himself

Yan Wuque suppressed the excitement surging in his heart, knowing that his next words could very well affect his future.

After some thought, Yan Wuque cautiously said: "Since Ye Wuming is already dead and Ye Wudao doesn't come out to take charge, the Ye family will surely fall apart. Why don't we take advantage of this opportunity and suppress them severely"

Yàn Wúqiè had thought about it for a long time, feeling that there were no more loopholes. This is when he said to his grandfather.

"Wu Que, come with me." Yan Xiaoti's face was as dark as water, revealing no emotion. He clasped his hands behind his back and walked away resolutely.

Yàn Wúqiè's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he had answered incorrectly Had he disappointed his grandfather But where exactly had he gone wrong According to the plan from earlier, seizing this opportunity when the Yè family hadn't established themselves and delivering a heavy blow, this step didn't seem wrong at all!

Yan Wuque's heart was filled with unease, and he quickly followed behind his grandfather.at a student's older brother for too long.When she retracted her gaze, Ye Fan also let out a sigh of relief. He was truly afraid that he would be recognized by Lin Bingyue.Dear Parents, Before we have...
