Ye Ling, the once lively and cheerful girl, now wore a solemn expression that made her seem particularly grave. Ye Wenhui, the ancestor of the Ye Family and the host of today’s ceremony, announced in a booming voice that the event was officially beginning.
After a series of elaborate rituals, the moment for Ye Ling to pay her respects to her master finally arrived. She hurriedly approached Ye Xingchen, kneeling respectfully before him and presenting a cup of hot tea with both hands. Her voice was firm and clear as she declared, "Ye Ling, disciple of the Ye Family Ancestor, pays respects to Master."
A rare smile appeared on Ye Xingchen's face as he softly replied, "Disciple, please rise. From this day forth, you shall be my disciple."
Standing behind Ye Xingchen, Lu Tianming was equally excited. He had longed for a junior sister, and now his wish had come true. The grand ceremony gradually came to a close amidst a joyful atmosphere.
The next day, the atmosphere in the Ye Family Ancestor's hall was heavy and solemn. Ye Wenhui sat at the head of the table, his brow furrowed with an air of undeniable determination.
Beside him stood three Grand Elders, who usually kept to themselves but had gathered together today, signaling that the upcoming meeting was of great importance.
Ye Wenhui's gaze swept over everyone present as he spoke in a steady and powerful voice: "Everyone, I have summoned you here today to discuss a significant matter."
"I, as the Ye Family Ancestor, have stood firm on this land since our ancestors' time, weathering storms without faltering. However, times are changing; it is now time for us to take action."
He paused briefly before continuing: "Ancestor Ye instructed us recently that from today onward, we will no longer sit idly by but will instead take the initiative to conquer several nearby counties."
"These territories have long been thorns in our side; it is time to remove them one by one to strengthen our Ye Family Ancestor's authority."
As he spoke, Ye Wenhui's gaze sharpened: "Our ultimate goal is to disrupt the alliance between Li Siyuan and Qi State."
"This alliance poses a significant threat to our Ye Family Ancestor. Therefore, we must strike first and dismantle their coalition so they understand that we are not easy prey!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, though some expressions revealed hints of doubt. Ye Wenhui noticed this and contemplated how to dispel their concerns by presenting a feasible plan.
As for how to proceed with the attack, Ye Wenhui slowly said, "I would like to hear everyone's opinions. Our Ye Family Ancestor is known for its wisdom and bravery; I believe each of you can contribute your insights and strength to this battle."
As soon as he finished speaking, discussions erupted in the hall. Some advocated for swift action to crush the enemy with overwhelming force; others suggested a more cautious approach, advancing step by step to ensure success.
Ye Wenhui listened quietly, nodding occasionally as he formed his initial strategy in his mind.
Just as the debate grew heated with everyone expressing their opinions loudly, Ye Wenhui slowly stood up and gently raised his hand to signal for silence.
His voice was steady and powerful, instantly cutting through the noise: "Everyone quiet down; I have made my decision."
At his words, all arguments ceased as everyone turned their attention toward Ye Wenhui. His expression was serious and focused, as if he had already made up his mind.
Ye Wenhui spoke solemnly: "Regarding the military actions in the nearby counties, I have decided to send Grand Elders Ye Jing Tian and Ye Dong Di to lead our elite forces."
"The strategy will focus on winning hearts first and then capturing cities second; we must achieve maximum victory at minimal cost. If we can persuade enemy troops to surrender, that would be ideal so we can conserve our strength against any potential attacks from Li Siyuan."
He paused before continuing: "As for our main base at the Ye Family Ancestor's residence, it will be overseen by Elder Ye Gucheng to guard against unforeseen circumstances."
"After all, we cannot burden Ancestor Ye with every matter; as juniors, we should take on this responsibility ourselves."
Upon hearing these words, everyone nodded in agreement. They felt that Ye Wenhui's decision was both comprehensive and prudent, ensuring the safety of the Ye Family Ancestor while minimizing losses to the greatest extent possible.
Thus, the crowd dispersed, each person preparing for their respective tasks. The assembly hall fell silent once more, but this silence was merely the calm before the storm.
