Giving and Receiving (1)

"So, for the sake of the Lineage, you're not going to say anything?" Ye Yi asked, frowning.

"That depends on the circumstances. If the Cold-Blooded Group hasn't done anything to harm the Lineage, and the Lineage only wants to know for their own benefit, then I won't say anything!" Ye Lang replied. He didn't think there was anything wrong with that, even though saying so would displease some of the people who benefit the most from the Lineage.

Therefore, Ye Lang will not become the future head of the Ye Clan because he is not suitable.

"What if one day we have a conflict?" Ye Yi asked.

"If we can resolve it, we will! If we can't, then there's nothing I can do," Ye Lang said, waving his hand.

"What if there's only one of each side?" Ye Yi asked.

"I will protect the people I want to protect," Ye Lang said after thinking for a moment.

"..."

At this moment, everyone seemed to realize that Ye Lang was not confused. He had a yardstick in his heart and could measure things. He had his own principles in doing things, and even his Lineage could not change him.

In fact, if Ye Yi had asked about anything else, such as Zhao Yarou's Xiangkong Empire, Ye Lang would not have even considered siding with the Ye Clan.

But the Cold- Cold-Blooded Group is different, because they have given him a lot of help and have always protected him. Although Ye Lang is not a saint, he cannot repay kindness with enmity.

Furthermore, the Cold-Blooded Group also includes Cold-Blooded Fifth, Cold-Blooded Seventh, and Little Zero. Just as he said, even if one day the Cold-Blooded Group and the Ye Clan fight to the death, and the Cold-Blooded Group is the wrong side, he will still protect Cold-Blooded Fifth and the others, regardless of whether his Lineage opposes it.

The opposite is also true!

His meaning was clear: he would not participate in the war between the two sides and would remain neutral.

However, it's unlikely that such a thing would happen. The Ye Clan might have been able to do so in the past, but the current Ye Clan is neutral and will not engage in any struggle. It's impossible for them to fight the Cold-Blooded Group.

"What 'what ifs'? These things will never happen. Father, you're just making trouble out of nothing. You know Ye Lang, he's always been this confused. You'll think you're going to have a falling out with the Cold-Blooded Group! At that time, he'll definitely help his Little Five. You don't know what happened between them. For Little Five, he'd go through fire and water!" Ye Chengtian spoke up at this moment, changing the subject and also explaining that Ye Lang's relationship with the Cold-Blooded Group was definitely not simple.

"I don't know if he will go, but Little Five will definitely go for him!" the Seventh Princess said at this moment. She knew everything about Ye Lang, not only because she cared about Ye Lang, but also because Ye Lang told her everything and had absolute trust in her.

"Yes, it's said that Little Five is quite freakish, known as the number one assassin in the world, killing people is as easy as eating!" Ye Lanyu said at this moment, unaware that her words revealed something that shouldn't have been revealed.

"Death God?! So Death God is actually Cold-Blooded Fifth?" Ye Yi and the others were very surprised. They had paid attention to the assassin rankings and knew that the number one assassin in the world was Death God, a terrifying assassin whom even they dared not easily face.

"Sister! Just listen to these things and don't tell anyone." Ye Lang frowned. He wanted to stop the news, but he couldn't say anything to these people.

Although Ye Lang didn't say what he would do if it got out, everyone could sense that it would definitely make Ye Lang very disgusted, and might even make him do something.

"Ah, I forgot, these things can't be said!" Ye Lanyu immediately realized that she shouldn't have said these things, because Ye Lang had already told her not to spread them.

She wasn't afraid of what Ye Lang might do to her, but she was afraid that Ye Lang would stop sharing secrets with her in the future because of her careless talk.

"It seems the Cold-Blooded Group is stronger than I imagined. As a secret organization that has been passed down for thousands of years, it's normal for them to have such strength! Ye Lang, what exactly is your relationship with the Cold-Blooded Group? Is it convenient for you to say?" Ye Yi became more cautious at this moment, naturally understanding this kind of etiquette.

"I'm just a figurehead for the Cold-Blooded First," Ye Lang said nonchalantly. He could still trust the people here, and this matter didn't reveal any secrets of the Cold-Blooded Group.

Ye Lang had already confirmed the existence of the Cold-Blooded First -Blooded Group when he was in Dragon City. He knew that the Vermilion Bird Emperor had allowed him to be nominally affiliated with the group, but he had also been given considerable power, allowing him to command the Cold-Blooded Group to do almost anything.

"..."

Ye Yi and the others remained silent, looking at Ye Chengtian. They found that Ye Chengtian also looked surprised, and they realized that even Ye Chengtian didn't know about this.

"No way, your uncle is being so polite as to give you the title of Cold-Blooded First?" Ye Chengtian asked in surprise.

"It's just a coincidence! Anyway, it's just a nominal position, so let him keep it. It will only benefit me and won't do me any harm," Ye Lang said nonchalantly.

"No wonder you didn't help either side. It turns out the Cold-Blooded Group is practically yours. Helping either side is just going against yourself." Ye Chengtian said with a smile. He was very excited and happy that his son had suddenly become the nominal leader of the Cold-Blooded Group.

With the Cold-Blooded Group providing protection, Ye Lang can act recklessly all over the mainland without anyone interfering!

Well, in addition, Ye Lang can already act arrogantly. He has many guarantees: the Ye Clan, the Holy City, the Tiger Clan, the Vermilion Bird, and Ella. These powerful forces on the continent are all his backers.

"Thirteen, although you have such a close relationship with the Cold-Blooded Group, you can't let Lineage Cold-Blooded Group Lineage Cold-Blooded Group." At this moment, the Third Brother frowned and directly said what everyone wanted to say. He saw that no one wanted to bring this up, but he felt that this matter had to be made clear.

Ye Lang is Cold-Blooded First and the Thirteenth Young Master of the Ye Clan, but that doesn't mean he has combined the two strengths.

"I didn't. Didn't I say that no one from the Cold-Blooded Group will enter the Ye Clan unless they have the Ye Clan's permission?" Ye Lang replied.

"But the stronghold you just mentioned, isn't it right here?" Third Brother said.

"Who said that? That outpost is more than ten miles away from here. Although it can monitor this area, it's only for security purposes and it hasn't entered the Ye Clan's territory," Ye Lang replied immediately.

"Huh?! More than ten miles? How did you make contact just now? How could you contact a place more than ten miles away?" At this point, it was Ye Yi and the others' turn to be surprised, because from beginning to end, they all thought that Ye Lang had gone out to make contact because someone nearby was there to meet him.
