Seeing Ye Lan and Ye Qingshan's indifferent attitude toward Ye Yu, Ye Fan and the other had long since been overjoyed.
At his words, Ye Yu gave Yuan Xiang beside him a slight nod.
Understanding, Yuan Xiang dragged over an iron cage covered in black cloth, then pulled the cloth away. Three Rogue Cultivators with faint breaths immediately appeared before everyone.
When they clearly saw the three men's faces, the smiles on Ye Fan and Wei Qionghua's faces instantly froze.
"Who are these three?!" Wei Qionghua cried out instinctively.
Yuan Xiang gave Wei Qionghua a bland glance and said, "These three are the Rogue Cultivators who guided the Ye family lords. What, you know them?"
Only then did Wei Qionghua realize she had lost her composure and hurriedly fell silent.
Yet her gaze turned toward Ye Fan.
At that moment, Ye Fan was staring viciously at Ye Yu.
Ye Yu, wearing an incomparably weakened expression, simply met his gaze head-on, a trace of mockery flashing through his eyes.
Ye Fan immediately knew that Ye Yu had set him up. But with Ye Lan and the others present, there was nothing he could say. He could hardly claim that Ye Yu had swapped out the people they had arranged.
Ye Lan gave the two of them an interested look. From the looks of it, Ye Yu had won.
Then Ye Lan nodded, signaling for the three men to speak.
The three men recounted the matter exactly as Yuan Xiang had taught them. In essence, they had originally gone to harm Ye Yu, only to find that someone had been switched out at the last minute. Between the lines, they implied that Ye Fan and the others had arranged it because they did not want Ye Yu returning to the Ye family.
