The Heavenly Dao System-Chapter 29: Objection

The three elders' opinion could be considered a finalized deal, especially with Ye Qing Lei's subtle—or one should say: direct approval.

After all, she would have approved anything her son suggested unless it concerned his health.

Therefore, when Ye Xuan raised his hand to object to the decision, the three elders and Qing Lan were stupefied by his action.

Could it be that the Clan Leader wishes to court death?

That was the question on their minds. Ye Xuan wasn't just objecting to Ye Ming taking the administration position but was objecting to his wife's decision.

"So what reason do you have for the objection?" Without much surprise, Ye Qing Lei's eyes furrowed and asked. Her furrow was an indication of her dissatisfaction.

Despite this, Ye Xuan remained adamant. "Wife, it's not that I want to object you, but our son has just returned after such a long time. The Ye Clan has changed a lot since then."

What Ye Xuan meant was that to take over the administration position was not some type of joke. One should be familiar with and understand the clan's situation to hold such a position.

There were too many intricate and complex relationships within the clan. When even a veteran like Ye Chang was barely hanging on, how could it be possible for Ye Ming to take over?

Ye Qing Lei also understood her husband's intention. 'Indeed, Ye Ming has just returned. His knowledge and memories were still stuck in that time.'

She had always wished for her son to take over the administration in the past to shackle him to stay in the clan.

After all, in the past, Ye Ming was the type to sneak around and hop between worlds to inspect and investigate.

It got to the point that she had no choice but to send numerous people to follow him—only for them to end up losing his track. And she couldn't possibly try to trace him, given she would then be given the cold shoulder.

'What should I do?' Ye Qing Lei struggled internally.

By now, if no one had noticed yet for some damn reason, then Ye Qing Lei was the type of mother who spoiled their son to the extreme.

Amidst Ye Qing Lei's predicament, Ye Ming suddenly laughed aloud.

"Hah, I still can't believe you are still the Clan Leader." Ye Ming shook his head and continued, "Maybe because your cultivation is the highest so no one had dared to usurp it yet. But if your cultivation base became garbage, then you would have been removed from the position immediately."

"What did you say?" Annoyed, Ye Xuan clenched his fist. He had already been extremely tolerant because of Ye Qing Lei, but there was a limit to how unruly his son could be.

"You can't possibly be deaf so I won't repeat myself." Ye Ming shrugged and took his seat.

"Listen up, my dear father. It's precisely because I've been gone that I'm the perfect candidate. Why is that? It's because I won't give a fucking ounce of the relationship that you cherished so much. It's because of your damn foolishness that allows the Ye Clan to become rotten. We're strong, but also very conceited and arrogant."

He exclaimed loudly, outright blaming Ye Xuan for the current mess.

"Me foolish?" Ye Xuan vanished from his position and instantly appeared in front of Ye Ming. "If I'm foolish, then what about the unfilial son who chose to abandon his status and duty to roam around with his soul?"

"He's dead." Ye Ming flatly replied. "That kind of foolish son died after experiencing reality. Now, he's been replaced by someone who has endured the harsh reality."

"..."

Speechless, Ye Xuan didn't expect him to have such a glib tongue. In the past, his son would always admire and wish to ask him for guidance. However, he barely even had the time to manage the clan, much less his son.

Not to mention, he was constantly overseeing the whole universe and preventing any slip-ups.

Truth be told, Ye Xuan understood that part of the ridiculous move was also attributed to his negligence, but he just wasn't willing to admit it. He had got to this position through sheer will, so he simply thought his son could pass through the hurdle as well.

Alas, he was wrong and everything went downhill since then.

Ye Xuan subsided his anger and asked, "So, are you really going to punish your fellow clans without hesitation?"

"Yes, not a single one would be let off." Ye Ming responded, his tone firm and determined.

The gossip and the undisciplined younger generation had corrupted the clan very deeply. His past self also became frustrated due to those so-called younger generations mocking his low cultivation base.

Besides the younger generation, some of the elders in the clan were also better to be stripped of their position as well.

His decision was made up when he realized only three elders were present in the main office.

Time slowly passed by, and Ye Xuan finally exhaled exhaustedly.

"Very well, but if I check that you punished someone who was innocent, then don't blame me for taking back the authority." Ye Xuan ultimately ended up conceding.

Their relationship had been terrible since Ye Ming's return. Having been called bastard here and there, he was finally slapped back to reality.

His son had enough of him and no longer respected him. In fact, Ye Ming's eyes contained traces of disdain and even spiteful look.

'So what if I'm powerful. I still ended up being a bad father.' Ye Xuan smiled bitterly and made his exit.

He vanished from the main office, and Ye Qing Lei shook her head in response.

She teleported in front of Ye Ming and wrapped her arms around him. She gave him a warm hug before saying, "I know you must hate your father, but do understand that he does love you."

"Yeah, but his love has yet to be visible." Ye Ming smirked. He was not the type to act like the typical cliche behavior and say he understood his predicament or difficulties.

"He's lenient to everyone but his son. No son would have tolerated him aside from my dumb past self. If he wants me to call him father, then he better fucking prove himself to be worthy of my respect." He declared solemnly.
