"Patriarch, disaster! The ancestor's junior brother surnamed Chen knocked out the guards just now and rescued Yu Luoyue. He's currently heading for the ancestral residence..."
A Yu Family servant rushed anxiously into the council hall and reported to Yu Fei.
"Hmph, utterly lawless!"
Yu Fei's expression darkened.
An elder beside him said indignantly, "Patriarch, that old bastard Chen has gone too far. He simply doesn't take our Yu Family seriously. I suggest we expel him from the Yu Family, to make an example of him!"
Yu Fei snorted coldly. "The Sun Family ancestor will come tomorrow to take his bride. That Chen fellow is getting anxious—he wants to find Father and plead Yu Luoyue's case!"
The elder hurriedly said, "Patriarch, the Sun Family is far too powerful. Our Yu Family is isolated and weak now; we absolutely must not provoke them."
"Indeed!" Yu Fei nodded heavily.
His expression was somewhat stifled, the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitching as he said in a low voice, "The Sun Family ancestor has already recovered from his injuries. That makes our Yu Family even less of a match for them. Therefore, this marriage must proceed as scheduled. Even if the Heavenly King himself comes, he won't be able to stop it!"
Several elders nodded in agreement.
"Everyone, come with me to the ancestral residence."
Yu Fei took the lead, flying out of the council hall on his sword, with the other elders close behind.
Yu Luoyue and Chen Changming had just reached the entrance to the ancestral residence when two guards stopped them.
One guard wore a stern expression. Staring at the two without the slightest warmth, he said, "Without the patriarch's orders, no one may trespass!"
"We're here to treat Grandfather's injuries. Hurry and announce us," Yu Luoyue said urgently.
