"Could it be that the fifth largest family is our Ye family!" After saying this, Ye Fan's eyes widened with disbelief on his face. Since the level that stands at the top of the dynasty also has a place for his small Ye family. This kind of shock
This was definitely the most embarrassing moment for Ye Fan since he was born. Especially when he saw Ye Xiaotian nodded in agreement. This shock reached its peak.
"You guessed it right. Our Ye family was the fifth family in the past, and it was also the head of the four major families besides the royal family. Our status is only a little lower than that of Dongfang."
Mentioning the glory of the past, Ye Xiaotian's face couldn't help but show a look of pride. This is no wonder, the sum of the large and small families and sects in the Duanmu Dynasty has probably reached a quite terrifying number. And the Ye family actually
Standing above tens of thousands of families. This proud achievement, even if it was only once possessed, is enough to make future generations proud of it.
Such fruitful results made Ye Fan's throat feel a little dry. However, after all, he was born in two generations. Ye Fan quickly realized the problem. He swallowed a mouthful and said in a bitter voice: "Our family will have this kind of situation today."
I’m afraid the situation is closely related to the status of the head of these four major families.”
He looked at Ye Fan in surprise, obviously not expecting the latter to be so smart and guess the root of the matter from just a few words. Wei Ran sighed, and Ye Xiaotian continued.
"If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. It's no wonder that the Ye family at that time did not understand the principle of a big tree attracting the wind. They only focused on developing the family business and paid no attention to other things. In the end, the Dongfang family sensed a threat, so they joined forces with the Li and Wang families.
He planned secretly and obtained the five hundred years of my Ye family's inheritance.
Fortunately, at the last moment, the Dongfang family, which has been friends with my Ye family for generations, was alert and hurriedly came to help, thus saving the last trace of my Ye family's bloodline from the hands of the three major families. However, at that time, the Ye family's vitality and strength had been greatly reduced.
It is no longer 12% of what it was before. With no choice but to survive in this small black city.
Even after the Dugu family saved the last bit of blood from my Ye family, they were suppressed by the three major families. It is said that the Dugu family has now fallen to the bottom of the four major families, and the situation is in a state of decline."
Sighing again, Ye Xiaotian looked out the window in concentration, the soft moonlight shining on his face, creating a strange halo.
After a long time, Ye Xiaotian came back to his senses and looked at Ye Fan with a slightly solemn look.
"Now that my Ye family has fallen into this situation, there are only two ways to go if we want to repeat the past situation. One is to regain everything we have lost with strong strength, and we must have enough confidence to protect the family from being invaded by others.
Second, it is a shortcut and a desperate situation. If the outstanding children in the family go to Tiandu Academy in Tiandu City and make a name for themselves there, the family will also benefit.
"Father, what kind of place is Tiandu Academy? Is its status still higher than that of the royal family?"
Hearing this, Ye Xiaotian smiled slightly, rubbed Ye Fan's little head with his broad palms, and cursed with a smile: "You are a very clever kid. You seem to have changed into a different person in the past six months, even as a father.
Incredible.”
Hearing this, Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, the latter didn't hold on to the problem, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tiandu Academy, also known as Tianfu, is a special organization that is independent of family and sectarian forces. It is said that its founder was the first emperor of the Duanmu Dynasty. And Tianfu only teaches disciples and never participates in political struggles. Of course, Tianfu itself is also extremely powerful, otherwise, the princesses and young masters from those aristocratic families would not have tried so hard to squeeze through the door."
Picking up the tea cup, Xiaotian moistened his throat and continued: "This first way is quite simple, it's just the fist rule. As for the second way, let's not talk about whether my Ye family has enough resources to support a person who can compete with the four. The geniuses who compete with each other in the big aristocratic families, the suppression of the three big aristocratic families alone makes it impossible for the children of the Ye family to hold their heads up, and what's more, they simply never return, and their heroic souls are buried in the Tianfu.
This time, Mr. Pang is the manager of Tianfu's admissions. So, do you understand what Feng'er did?" Ye Xiaotian asked after making a big circle.
Hearing this, Ye Fan nodded lightly. Ye Feng's move was to make the Pang Lao hate his character, so as to achieve the purpose of not going to Tiandu. However, Ye Fan was still sure that although the latter's move was somewhat evasive. Responsibility, but definitely not greed for life and death.
Looking back, Ye Fan naturally knew what Ye Xiaotian meant when he told him this. Moreover, even if the former did not make demands on him, he did not intend to stay idle in the Ye family anymore. As the saying goes, a good man aims for a thousand miles, not to mention, Ye Fan still has unfinished business in his heart.
"Father, are you planning to let me go to Tiandu?" Ye Fan said.
