204: Chapter 204 Even dog poop has its uses

"Ye Qingzhou, oh Ye Qingzhou, you really are like mud that cannot be plastered onto a wall. Does that mean everything I said to you earlier was a complete waste of breath?"

"Demeanor! Magnanimity! Perspective! You have absolutely nothing, and you've played a good hand of cards into a complete mess."

"Let me ask you, when Sacrificial Wine Yu and Dr. Shi came by earlier, why didn't you hand the people over to them? Were you clutching them like treasures, afraid someone else would share the credit?"

"Fine, so you took them, and you got counterattacked by the Wei Family—that much is understandable. You could have returned Wei Jian to them, but why did you hand over Rong Baichuan as well?"

"Handing people over is one thing. If you take a beating, you have to stand tall; if you lose, you have to take your punishment. But after losing this round, you aren't planning to get even, you're just thinking about running away?"

"What are you going back to Huaidu with your tail between your legs for? To act like a turtle?"

"Since Ye Baiqiao, is your family really left with nothing but cowards like you?"

Ye Qingzhou's face turned a deep shade of dark red, but he dared not argue.

He could only say, "The Wei Family's influence... is much stronger than I imagined."

"The Wei Family has dominated Song City for over a hundred years; of course they are strong!"

Tang Long continued, "But you are royalty. In this Dongyu Kingdom, what family has a foundation stronger than the Ye Family?"

"If you go back to Huaidu now, you'll be nothing but a defeated rooster. From now on, you'll have to tuck your tail between your legs and you won't be able to hold your head up anywhere. Your father won't pass his title to you, and His Majesty won't want to see you. In Huaidu, you'll just be a joke people tell after they've had their fill of food and drink."

"Do you want to live that kind of life?"

Ye Qingzhou remained silent.

Then Tang Long smiled and lowered his voice, "Besides, you're thinking about things too simply. The Wei Family won't let me go, but do you think I'll let them go? I can responsibly tell you that the Wei Family is finished."

Ye Qingzhou chuckled, still not speaking, but he clearly didn't believe it, instead laughing at Tang Long for overestimating his own capabilities.

Tang Long also sneered and asked, "Do you think that just because you released Wei Jian, he isn't a spy for the Yuanwu people anymore?"

"There are rumors outside that Wei Mingzhu is a Sun Worshiper; you should have heard about that, right?"

"And then there's 2nd Division Commander Wei Jun. As the Deputy Director of the Education Department, he'll likely be out of a job today."

At this, Ye Qingzhou wiped away his smile and asked in a low voice, "The matter with Wei Mingzhu is mostly a rumor, right? If it were true, the Songcheng Sect couldn't possibly tolerate it, and the Wei Family still has a Bishop."

"It's not a rumor. She is a Sun Worshiper, and she's the ringleader of the Sun Worshipers. As for Bishop Wei, he should be at the Wei Family right now, demanding an explanation."

Ye Qingzhou quickly asked, "Then what about 2nd Division Commander Wei Jun? Why will he lose his position?"

Tang Long smiled even more mysteriously, "He is the next blade I'm stabbing into the Wei Family. How about it? Do you want to stay now and see my methods, and the fate of the Wei Family?"

Ye Qingzhou was tempted.

In other areas, he might not be outstanding, but his desire for revenge was quite strong.

Now that there was a chance to topple the Wei Family, he was naturally very interested.

"Fine! Then I'll stay for a while longer. What do you need me to do?"

Tang Long shrugged, "You should focus on the things we agreed upon first. For the rest, I don't need you for now."

Ye Qingzhou's face immediately fell again. He stood up listlessly and limped away.

Tang Long walked him all the way to the gate.

Lu Xiaohu, who was beside him, asked in a low voice, "Big Brother, did he fail?"

"Of course he failed."

"Good thing he failed! I've found him an eyesore for a long time. If a guy like that didn't have a good father, he'd just be stinking dog shit! If I were you, I wouldn't have given him Empowerment at all."

"You are still too immature. Let me ask you, is there any difference between his money and anyone else's money? Why not earn money when you can?"

"Besides, even dog shit has its uses."

While Lu Xiaohu was still dazed, Tang Long said, "Go check which hospital Wei Lin is staying at. I want to see if that piece of shit can be of any use."

————

The main hall of the Wei Family residence.

Xu Chaoyang skimmed the tea leaves while listening to Wei Ye, who was sitting in the main seat, flying into a rage.

Wei Yuan, Wei Cheng, 2nd Division Commander Wei Jun, Wei Mingzhu, and Wei Zhuang—the five siblings were all present, but they weren't sitting. They could only stand on the sides, getting absolutely berated by their Seventh Uncle.

"You really have grown wings! You're trying to turn the world upside down!"

"Such a big matter, and you never even told me!"

"In your hearts, I'm not even a member of the Wei Family, right? I'm just an expendable distant relative to you, right!"

"That dead father of yours really knew how to calculate."

"When the marriage alliance with the royal family failed, you supported a Governor for her to marry. Sun Worshipers, Yuanwu people—hedging your bets on all sides!"

"Tell me, what other forces are you colluding with?"

Wei Zhuang couldn't help but say, "Seventh Uncle, my father has been dead for many years. Even his faults..."

"It's a good thing he died early! Otherwise, today, I would definitely slap him one hundred times to his face! I'd ask him where exactly he wanted to lead the Wei Family!"

"Dongyu is the land of the Red God! I am a Bishop of the Songcheng Sect! Where have you put me in all of this?!"

"You all think you're very capable, right?"

"Fourth girl, why didn't you incite your dim-witted Governor husband to mobilize the army and wipe out The Sect? Wouldn't that make Song City yours to command?"

"Then immediately declare Song City's autonomy, close the gates, and proclaim yourselves kings and emperors—wouldn't that be convenient?"

Wei Mingzhu was speechless, and Xu Chaoyang almost spat out a mouthful of tea.

He waved his hands repeatedly, "Seventh Uncle, please don't make such jokes. How could I ever think that way?"

"I would hope you wouldn't dare!" Wei Ye slammed the table.

"Do you think that just because you have a few soldiers under your command, you can do whatever you want?"

"In your dreams!"

"As long as you openly resist, countless people from Huaidu will rush over to snatch that chair of yours!"

"At that time, the Wei Family and the Xu Family will be completely wiped out!"

Xu Chaoyang's face immediately darkened, and he shut his mouth and continued skimming the tea leaves.

Wei Yuan saw an opportunity and quickly urged, "Seventh Uncle, please calm your anger and have some tea first."

Wei Ye snorted. He was indeed a bit thirsty, so he picked up the teacup and took two sips.

"Seventh Uncle, you are our elder. Since things have come to this, you must help us."

This sentence made Wei Ye flare up again.

"Me? I'm worthy? You all think too highly of me."

"You've already dared to openly and covertly kill the Holy Messenger of The Sect; what am I supposed to be?"

"The Sect is having some internal issues right now, which is why they let me handle it, but this is just putting me on the fire to be roasted!"

"If I'm not careful, I'll be finished before you are!"

Wei Zhuang snorted, "Seventh Uncle, if the High Priest really has an accident, we can just concentrate all our power now, replace those annoying guys, and you can become the High Priest—wouldn't that be the end of it?"

Wei Ye was so furious that his hair and beard stood on end, and he violently threw the teacup over.

Wei Zhuang hurriedly dodged. Although he avoided the teacup, he still got splashed with tea.

"You bastard! Is your brain filled with garbage?"

"Those are three Bishops, two Sect-protecting Knight Orders, and thousands of elite experts!"

"The High Priest is just in poor spirits, he is not dead! As long as he wakes up for a few minutes, there won't even be scraps of us left!"

"Even your brother-in-law doesn't dare to act recklessly, and you're still jumping around?"

"Get out! Get out of here!"

Wei Zhuang's face was twisted from being scolded, but he didn't dare to talk back again and could only stomp out of the hall angrily.

At this moment, Wei Mingzhu stood up, poured a new bowl of tea, and presented it to Wei Ye.

"Seventh Uncle, it was I who made the move against Tang Long, but it was out of necessity."

"His eyes are too sharp; he could see through our identities, and I had to protect myself."

"We are willing to listen to Seventh Uncle's teachings, but you must point us toward a way to survive."

Wei Ye picked up the tea again and coldly scanned her up and down.

"Your identity as a Sun Worshiper definitely can't be hidden anymore. Now those old guys are all watching me, watching the Wei Family."

"One wrong step, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Besides, I cannot betray my Lord for your sake."

Wei Mingzhu quickly agreed, "Yes, Mingzhu would never dare to think that."

Wei Ye nodded, "First, you must tell me the whole story truthfully!"

"I ask you, when and how did you become a Sun Worshiper? Who in the family knows?"

"To what extent is your contact with the Blasphemers? Can you draw a line in the sand immediately?"

Wei Mingzhu glanced at Wei Yuan, and after Wei Yuan nodded slightly, she recounted everything truthfully.

When he heard that she had actually inherited her father's legacy, Wei Ye was completely stunned.

So, the Wei Family he was born into had actually been Sun Worshipers for generations, and he had never known.

After listening, there was silence in the hall.
