249: Chapter 249 The Passionate Ye Family

"Ye Qing, come with me. I'll take you to the living room so we can have some tea first."

Ye Xiaojing looked at Ye Qing, her eyes filled with enthusiasm, and then led him inside.

Nearby, many members of the Ye Family looked over.

Their faces were filled with surprise; they hadn't expected that this young man would turn out to be Xiaojing's savior.

They all knew about Xiaojing's ordeal.

Previously, following the Family's arrangements, she had gone to the Jinling Barrier to handle some matters, but she encountered the Demon Spirit Guard there and was captured and taken to the Demon Spirit Guard Headquarters.

Later, they heard from Xiaojing that she had been rescued by a young man.

This young man not only saved her but also wiped out the entire Demon Spirit Guard Headquarters!

"My god, he's so young! Is this the young man who acts so ruthlessly? And his strength is quite formidable too?"

"It's him. Originally, the Family Head planned to have Xiaojing bring him back to Jinling to express their gratitude later. However, after that incident, Xiaojing developed nightmares and stayed inside the Modu Barrier, afraid to go out. Who would have thought he would come to the Modu Barrier this time and be met by Xiaojing?"

"This is fate! Let's go over and greet him too. After all, he saved our Family's Junior. We must treat him well. Since there is a grand banquet today, we can host him properly."

"Indeed, but while he is an honored guest, we also have another honored guest arriving today—the Zhou Family Head, who is a Marquis-level Expert in the Early Stage. I wonder how the Old Master will arrange the seating today."

"That's easy to settle. The Marquis-level Expert will certainly be in the Leader position, and placing this young man in the second position would not be inappropriate at all. I believe he will be able to understand."

Everyone started talking, one after another.

A while later, they walked toward Ye Qing, their faces filled with enthusiasm, and began to greet him.

"Uncles, please wait a moment. He has just arrived at our home and hasn't even had a cup of hot tea yet. Could we perhaps wait a while before chatting?" Ye Xiaojing said.

Everyone wore an embarrassed smile; they had been so enthusiastic that they had forgotten about that.

"Xiaojing, you too! You should have reminded us earlier, making young friend Ye wait here for so long."

Ye Xiaojing: "..."

Good grief, aren't you guys shifting the blame? You were talking to Ye Qing the whole time; where was there any room for me to interrupt? Besides, do you need to be this enthusiastic?

Someone who didn't know better would think he was your savior!

Ye Xiaojing didn't pay them any mind, leading Ye Qing to the living room first, where she began to pour tea and serve him.

The Uncles also came over to chat with Ye Qing.

On the other side, near the Old Master, the eldest Uncle approached and looked at him, saying, "Old Master, an honored guest has arrived at our home."

"Hmm?!" The Old Master looked at him with a puzzled expression. "An honored guest?"

"Has the Zhou Family Head come so early?"

"That's not right. Didn't the message they sent say they wouldn't arrive until near noon? Why are they here already?"

However, this caught the Old Master off guard and made him nervous. After all, given the Zhou Family Head's high level of strength, failing to greet him in person would be too impolite.

"Where is the Zhou Family Head now? I will go over immediately."

"Huh?!" In an instant, the eldest Uncle was stunned.

What was the Old Master talking about? After reacting for a moment, he realized that they were talking about different things.

"No, no, it's not the Zhou Family Head who has arrived. It's another honored guest—Xiaojing's savior. It's the young man who rescued Xiaojing from the Demon Spirit Guard. He came to the Modu Barrier, and after Xiaojing met him, she invited him over."

"This! What a coincidence!" The Old Master's face was filled with excitement.

"Let's go, let's go! Take me to see him. You don't need to follow me; go and prepare some gifts. Since he saved Xiaojing, we must return the favor."

"Very well, Old Master."

"Wait!" Just as the eldest Uncle was about to leave, he continued, "Old Master, given the situation today, both the Zhou Family Head and Ye Qing are honored guests. How should we arrange the seating for the grand banquet later?"

Hiss. The Old Master took a breath upon hearing this and thought for a moment. "There's no other way. Reasonably speaking, Ye Qing saved Xiaojing, and based on the strength Xiaojing described, he has limitless potential and will at least reach the Middle to Late Stage of the Town General level in the future. If he were an ordinary guest, I would have given him the Leader position."

"But today, the Zhou Family Head is a Marquis-level Expert in the Early Stage. We can only place Ye Qing in the second position. I will speak to Ye Qing when the time comes; he should be able to understand."

"Very well, I will go prepare the gifts then." The eldest Uncle said, walking off into the distance.

A while later, the Old Master arrived at the reception hall and saw Ye Qing beside Ye Xiaojing.

"The Old Master is here!" An Uncle nearby said, and everyone stood up.

Ye Xiaojing looked at the Old Master and introduced him to Ye Qing: "Ye Qing, this is my grandfather, and also the Ye Family Head, Ye Jingtong."

"Grandfather, this is Ye Qing, the person who saved me."

The Old Master looked at Ye Qing, his eyes narrowing, his gaze filled with shock.

So young? He truly is a hero among youths! He is even younger than what Xiaojing described.

"Ye Qing, come, have some tea. Do you have any plans for noon?" The Old Master asked, his face full of enthusiasm.

"I don't, actually."

"That's perfect. Our Family is holding a grand banquet at noon, so don't leave just yet. Let's eat together. If you need to handle any matters while in the Modu Barrier, just have Xiaojing accompany you. If there is anything you need the Ye Family for, just say the word. Although the Modu Barrier is full of Powerful Experts and countless Families, our Ye Family still holds a place here."

As the Ye Family Head spoke, many of the Uncles nearby chimed in as well.

"That's right, if you have any difficulties, just tell us."

"The Modu Barrier can be considered our territory."

As these words were spoken, Ye Qing waved his hand, "I just came to the Modu Barrier to look around; I don't have any urgent matters to attend to."

A while later, noon arrived.

"Family Head, the grand banquet is almost ready." A guard came over to report. The Old Master stood up, "Let's go, let's go over and take a look first."

"I have a feeling that the Zhou Family Head will be arriving soon. I will go take a look, and then I will wait at the entrance to welcome the Zhou Family Head."

"In the meantime, you all can just wait at the grand banquet; there's no need to come with me. Otherwise, there will be too many people, and it will be too chaotic."

The Old Master made the arrangements, and everyone nodded.

They were all mentally prepared; after all, they were hosting Powerful Experts this time, and they couldn't afford any mistakes.
