My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 343 - 23: Something Happened

Ye Tingwen’s successful entry into the Langya Immortal Sect as a disciple spread across Purple Sunset City at an astonishing speed. Previously, due to the oppression from both the Bai and Sheng families, the Ye Family’s situation in Purple Sunset City was quite unfavorable. No one wanted to associate with the Ye Family, and those families that were once on good terms did not go as far as to kick them while they were down, but certainly did not offer any support either!

Now, upon hearing this news, the Ye Family became lively again, becoming the center of attention in Purple Sunset City. All the major forces in the city, except for the Bai and Sheng families, sent gifts to the Ye Family to congratulate Ye Tingwen on entering the Langya Immortal Sect.

The members of the Ye Family appeared very calm towards these people’s attempts to curry favor. Their main targets were the Bai and Sheng families; these other forces did not yet capture their attention. They accepted the gifts but did not forget the previous cold reception and disdainful comments—just setting them aside temporarily.

In Yueyun Building, Ye Tingshen ordered a large table of dishes according to Ye Tingyan’s instructions. With Ye Tingwen being selected to join the Langya Immortal Sect, they were all very happy and even ordered some wine to celebrate.

When the Ye Family’s servants reported this matter to Ye Tingyan, the smile at the corner of his mouth deepened slightly as he nodded and dismissed the servants.

"Big brother, what happened?" Ye Tingwen put down his wine cup and asked Ye Tingyan with concern.

"Father sent someone to tell me that other families and forces in the city have sent us gifts, congratulating you for joining the Langya Immortal Sect. Father said he accepted the gifts and informed me just to keep me in the loop." Although this was Ye Family’s private affair, Ye Tingyan wanted Gu Qingqing and her group to be closer to the Ye Family, so he did not keep it from them and spoke openly.

"Those people are so annoying. When our family was down, they ignored us; now that third brother just joined the Langya Immortal Sect, they rush to give us gifts. They are so opportunistic!" Ye Wanwan, unable to keep her thoughts to herself, muttered with dissatisfaction.

Having been well protected by the Ye Family in the past, she was indeed quite naive. The experiences of recent times taught her a lot about human warmth and coldness. Although she could understand these people’s actions, she was still unhappy about it!

"What’s there to be angry about? So what if they’re opportunistic? We didn’t rely on them anyway. They send gifts, we accept them. Do they think a few gifts can make us forget past grievances? They really underestimate us!" Ye Tingshen sneered, his tone full of contempt for those people.

Ye Tingyan gave Ye Tingshen an approving glance and looked at Ye Wanwan, "Your second brother is right. Let them come if they want to. Our current issues are with the Bai and Sheng families. Though these other families are opportunists, they are still useful. At the very least, the Bai and Sheng families will notice their actions, and when we make a move against the Bai and Sheng families, they certainly won’t help them. It will make things easier for us."

"Is the eldest young master planning to move against the Bai and Sheng families?" Nan Hua’s eyes flashed as he looked at Ye Tingwen and asked curiously.

"We’re not targeting both at once; we’re planning to deal with the Bai Family first. The Bai Family is more arrogant than the Sheng Family, and if not taught a lesson, they won’t behave!" Ye Tingyan did not conceal his plan and spoke frankly.

"Was yesterday’s incident the Bai Family’s doing?" Gu Qingqing quickly reacted, immediately understanding the implication in Ye Tingyan’s words. She glanced at Ye Tingwen and asked.

"That’s right. The feud between the Sheng Family and us isn’t very serious. They haven’t been too harsh when acting against us. The real enemy is the Bai Family; the Bai and Ye families are hereditary foes. We’ve been at odds for a long time, just maintaining appearances in recent years. This time, it was the Bai Family’s instigation that led to the Sheng Family joining them to suppress us!" People in Purple Sunset City knew these details to some extent, but Gu Qingqing and her group, being outsiders, likely didn’t know, so Ye Tingyan explained a bit.

"Do you have confidence in dealing with the Bai Family?" Jun Wu put down his wine cup and asked.

"I may not be 100% certain, but I’m 90% sure. This time we must bring the Bai Family to ruin, at least making sure they can’t rival the Ye Family for the foreseeable future!" Ye Tingyan’s eyes flashed with determination as he spoke confidently.

"That’s good. I’ll say it again, if there’s anything you need, just let me know." Gu Qingqing appropriately expressed her stance.

"Thank you all in advance." Like Ye Tingwen, Ye Tingyan was also very pleased to hear Gu Qingqing’s words.

Gu Qingqing’s willingness to say such things showed that she truly considered them as one of her own, making their efforts to forge an alliance worthwhile.

"Then we’ll wait for the good news from the eldest young master." Nan Hua closed his folding fan, smiling as he spoke.

"Okay!" Ye Tingyan replied happily.

This matter did not affect their mood. The group continued eating and drinking as before, relishing their meal until the afternoon, when Gu Qingqing and her group finally left.

After seeing Gu Qingqing and her group off, Ye Tingyan and the other three remained in the room. Ye Tingyan walked to the window, looked at the setting sun, and smiled slightly.

"Big brother, there should be news by now, right?" Ye Tingshen walked over to Ye Tingyan’s side and asked quietly, his eyes bright and full of expectation.

"Yes." Ye Tingyan nodded, regaining his composure. "Let’s go home. The news has probably already reached our house. We’ll just go back and listen with father."

"Alright."

So the four of them together left, taking a carriage back to the Ye Family.

...

Bai Family.

At this time, the Bai family was having dinner together in the flower hall. The table was laden with delicious food, but unfortunately, only the two children had the appetite to eat, while the others looked displeased.

Not long ago, the Bai Family, united with the Sheng Family, had the Ye Family underfoot, and everyone in the Bai Family was overjoyed. But since Ye Tingwen recovered, there had been a gloomy atmosphere, and today, with Ye Tingwen confirmed as a disciple of the Langya Immortal Sect, the mood was even worse.

Sitting at the head of the table, the Bai Family Master looked grim, and Bai Wei, seated third to his left, didn’t look much better.

As everyone sat with little appetite, a flurry of footsteps sounded outside the hall, followed by a figure rushing frantically to the flower hall’s entrance, drawing everyone’s attention. The Bai Family Master frowned even more.

"What’s with the haste? Walk properly!" The Bai Family Master threw his chopsticks away and shouted coldly.

"Master, something’s gone wrong with our business! The family’s medicinal fields have encountered issues, and the herbs are all affected, causing tremendous losses!" The servant rushed in front of the Bai Family Master and shouted.
