254: Chapter 254 Overcrowded

Meanwhile, on the other side, inside the Ye Family, it was already overcrowded.

Many Family heads and High-ranking Officials were rushing over here, all entering the Ye Family grounds.

Zhou Haoyi looked at this situation and frowned; it seemed like he shouldn't have called these Family heads over in the first place.

Now that it had turned into this, it was probably going to be difficult to handle. It was chaotic.

Old Master Ye looked at this spectacle, his face filled with helplessness.

He had no way to deal with it now; after all, since they had already come, could he really chase them away?

However, this couldn't go on; the Ye Family was too small and simply couldn't accommodate so many people.

Afterward, he looked toward Zhou Haoyi.

"Family Head Zhou, look at the current situation..."

The implication was abundantly clear: he wanted Zhou Haoyi to make a decision, as he was a Marquis Realm Expert and carried more weight.

"I feel like the people currently here are enough. How about you and I send people to guard the entrance in a moment and explain the situation?"

"That works."

Afterward, the Old Master called the eldest uncle over and whispered a few words.

The eldest uncle then went out with the Zhou Family guards.

Facing the arriving Family heads, the eldest uncle stepped in to stop them and explained the situation.

Combined with the message from Zhou Haoyi relayed by the Zhou Family guards nearby, many Family heads and High-ranking Officials had no choice but to wait here obediently.

After all, those who received the news and arrived this late were not heads of large Families or High-ranking Officials. Their strength was merely average. Furthermore, with the Ye Family and Zhou Family speaking up, and the fear that forcing their way in would displease Ye Qing, no one dared to act rashly.

"Sigh, I still arrived too late. It's a pity I received the news too late."

"Those large Families get the news quickly; we just can't compete. Following others and ending up in this situation is unavoidable."

"Let's just wait outside. If Lord Ye comes out, we can pay a visit and try to get familiar with him."

"That's possible, but with the strength of Families like ours, we are not significant enough in front of Lord Ye. I fear that even if we get familiar, it won't cause any ripples in Lord Ye's heart, and he might forget us later."

These sentences were exchanged.

Hearing this last sentence, everyone sighed. Indeed, their Family strength was not very high; even if they saw Ye Qing, they probably wouldn't leave a deep impression.

"There's no other way. Can we go back now? We might as well just wait here."

A Family head looked at their sighing and groaning, and he was filled with frustration.

These people were belittling themselves too much.

Several Family heads nearby heard this and nodded.

Just as they were preparing to continue waiting. The next moment.

A figure arrived beside the Family head who had just spoken, then whispered a few words in his ear.

Afterward, that Family head looked at the crowd, cupped his hands, and said, "Excuse me!"

He then left. The crowd: "..."

What the hell?! Damn you!

You were so aggressive just a moment ago, saying we should just wait here. Yet the next moment, you're leaving?

"What kind of person is that! He just advised us to stay here, and now he's leaving."

"Exactly."

"It seems like someone from his Family told him something, which is why he left. Could there be some other person as important as Lord Ye?"

A Family head's comment caused everyone to fall silent. Then, eyes widened. While pondering, one Family head suddenly blurted out, "Could it be Lord Ye's Spirit Weapons?"

"I received news earlier that it seems only Lord Ye is inside the Ye Family. His Spirit Weapons seem to be touring the Modu Barrier. Since we can't see Lord Ye now, could the news that guy just received be about Lord Ye's Spirit Weapons?"

Boom! This sentence was like a thunderclap on a clear day, deafening!

"So that's it!"

"I was wondering why he left in such a hurry."

"This guy wanted to keep it all to himself, but he didn't expect us to guess it."

"Alright, alright, let's hurry and follow him."

The Family heads said, and then they followed.

A while later. At the clubhouse. The manager was also stunned.

Looking at the various Family heads, he recognized all of them. They came often; they were regular customers and held a place in the Modu Barrier.

But today they had all come together.

"Gentlemen, please stop. You probably cannot enter the top floor right now. The guests on the top floor are currently dining. If you go in and disturb them, I feel it wouldn't be good."

The manager's words made everyone realize. Indeed.

"How about this, help me serve them a pot of good tea."

"Put the cost of their meal on my tab."

"Put it on mine!"

"Don't fight over it, don't fight over it, I'll do it."

The manager watched this situation, his mouth twitching. His legs felt like they were trembling, and the hair on his body stood on end.

If he was only shocked before when he saw those Young Masters being respectful to a few Young Women, then now, he was terrified.

So many Family heads, so many big shots, were actually scrambling to pay the bill.

This was unprecedented. Who exactly are those people upstairs...

In the top-floor private room. A waiter served a pot of good tea.

A Young Master looked at it and exclaimed softly, "Did we order this?"

"This was gifted by a Family head downstairs."

"Gifted by a Family head?"

"Yes, there are many Family heads downstairs now, fighting to send gifts and fighting to pay the bill, and they are all waiting outside."

What?! These few words left the Young Masters and Young Misses present stunned.

Good heavens. This is too terrifying.

Zhou Lingxue and the others looked at Jing Yao.

Jing Yao waved her hand helplessly, "Sisters, these Family heads must have gotten wind of our whereabouts and came over. Moreover, they probably went to find Husband first, but most likely got turned away, so they retreated to the next best option and came to find us."

"Believe it or not, that's probably the process. I understand these Family heads all too well."

"They are all thousand-year-old foxes."

Jing Yao's words made everyone realize.

The Young Masters and Young Misses opposite had slight changes in their expressions. After all, these Family heads were their fathers' or grandfathers' generation, and being called thousand-year-old foxes made them feel a bit awkward.

Although the term wasn't derogatory.

"Then, should we go down and take a look in a while?"

"We can only go down and take a look after we finish eating. We can't just fly out from the top floor after we finish eating."

Jing Yao said, and everyone couldn't help but chuckle.

"Alright, let's eat now and talk about it later."

"Okay."

A while later. Everyone walked down from above.

Downstairs, the crowd of Family heads was still arguing over who would pay the bill. Then, footsteps were heard.
