Ye Tianyi turned to look at An Yuqing and Hua Qinghan.
Well, well. He had known they would come.
"Little Brother, I'm truly sorry. This old man failed to recognize you earlier! I failed in my duty to protect you—please forgive me!"
Celestial Master Li clasped his fists toward Ye Tianyi.
Although he had made a mistake, if this kid put in a good word for him or pleaded for him later, there probably would not be much of a problem, right?
"Uh—"
Now it was Ye Tianyi's turn to be dumbfounded.
What the hell? Who was this? This was the old man who had left the Wang family earlier, but... why was he talking about failing to protect him? He was saying it to him, not to the Wang family, so Ye Tianyi was completely confused!
Protecting whom? Who needed protecting? Who had asked him to protect anyone?
When the Wang family saw this, their hearts went completely cold.
Protecting him...
Had things really reached this extent? Who exactly was this person? Why was this happening?
"I said, Senior, didn't you get the wrong person?"
"Is your name Ye Tianyi, Little Brother?"
"Yes, but there are so many people in this world named Ye Tianyi. Especially after a Sect Master of the First Divine Sect of All Ages named Ye Tianyi became famous, there are even more people with that name. So what does that prove?"
Ye Tianyi said.
"Were you once the captain of the Wang Group's security team?"
"I... used to be."
"Then that's right!"
Then Celestial Master Li's gaze sharpened as he looked toward Wang Zha and the others!
"Members of the Wang family, do you know your crime?"
Wang Hai hurriedly bowed. "Celestial Master Li, it's a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding!"
"Oh? A misunderstanding?
