Chapter 722: He Came for Lives

No matter how terrified Yu Baiya was, he couldn’t leave now.

As his words faded, a figure walked in from outside.

Seeing the figure, Yu Baiya’s eyes widened in fear and horror.

Previously, they had been curious about what had instilled such fear in those who died in the Yu Family. Upon seeing Yu Jingchuan, he finally understood what was happening.

“Yu Jingchuan, I never expected you to still be alive,” Yu Baiya said, looking at Yu Jingchuan, who hadn’t changed much, and suddenly calmed down.

“If none of you have died yet, how could I die before you?” Yu Jingchuan retorted.

Seeing Yu Baiya’s sudden composure, Yu Jingchuan sneered, “Yu Baiya, you killed my wife and children back then. I don’t know if they came to seek justice from you all these years, but even if they didn’t, I have come.”

He didn’t come back this time just to take a look. His purpose in returning this time is for revenge.

Those who had harmed his wife and children, they all had to die.

He had been investigating who was involved in the ambush that had taken place before, but he hadn’t found any good leads. Who would have thought that Gu Sheng’s wife knew everything, not only that but she also had a lot of evidence in her hands.

This was undoubtedly a great opportunity for him.

“I am the head of the Yu Family. What can you do to me?” Yu Baiya sneered and spoke.

“After all these years, you have killed so many people from the Yu Family. Isn’t that enough? Yu Jingchuan, stop now.”

Watching Yu Baiya’s self-righteous demeanor, Yu Jingchuan had no thoughts. After all these years, it seemed that Yu Baiya had not made any progress at all.

As Yu Jingchuan confronted Yu Baiya, the rest of the Yu Family finally arrived, including some of the former elders.

Some were delighted to see Yu Jingchuan back, while others looked at him as if they had seen a ghost.

“Jingchuan, you were still alive, why did you come back?” Someone saw Yu Jingchuan and immediately challenged him, questioning him.

This remark angered Yu Jingchuan, who waved his hand and sent the person flying.

“What are you doing, Jingchuan?”

“I’m not here to play nice with you all. I’m here for revenge,” Yu Jingchuan said, looking at the person speaking with each word.

“Jingchuan, it’s been so many years since the incident. People die and leave nothing behind. It’s meaningless for you to act like this. Since you’ve returned, let Qingfeng come back too. The position of the head of the Yu Family still belongs to you both.”

Trying to turn Yu Jingchuan and Yu Qingfeng into pawns for the Yu Family with just a few simple words, these people really have the audacity.

“Hmph, do you want us to serve the Yu Family like we did in the past? Do you even deserve it?”

“So many people have died over the years, and back then, Qingfeng also killed the masterminds. What more do you want, Jingchuan? Are you only happy if you destroy the entire Yu Family?” the Elder angrily rebuked.

Yu Jingchuan and Yu Qingfeng were originally his most promising successors. Either of them as the head of the Yu Family would have led the family to greater heights.

Who would have thought that such a thing would happen back then? Yu Jingchuan died, and Yu Qingfeng crippled the masterminds, then went on to kill several people related to the incident.

They were very happy when Wang Jingyu became the top scholar, as finally, the main line of the Yu Family had someone like him.

When they were ready to go find someone, they realized that the person had already left.

They were unsure when the person would return, which left them very dissatisfied. They were also very displeased with Yu Qingfeng, believing that he intentionally prevented Wang Jingyu from coming back.

“As long as you are here, Jingchuan, the Yu Family will only prosper.” Seeing Yu Jingchuan remain silent, the Elder beside him made nauseating remarks.

Wang Jinhe arrived and heard such words, finding them increasingly repulsive.

“How can you say such things? Only people like you would utter such words.”

“Outrageous! How dare a mere child speak to me like that.”

The Elder scolded Wang Jinhe without even bothering to see who she was.

“Yu Family members, you sure have a lot of arrogance,” Wang Jinhe walked over and coldly remarked.

Upon seeing Wang Jinhe, the Elder swallowed his words and his face turned red with embarrassment.

Yuan Xu walked over and took action directly.

Yu Jingchuan was very pleased with Yuan Xu’s straightforward nature.

If they remained indifferent even when the focus was on Wang Jinhe, he would start to suspect if Yuan Xu and the others had been bribed.

“The person in front of you is the Princess of Xuan empire. Remember this, people of the Yu Family, don’t forget,” Yuan Xu said coolly.

“Our Princess is the one cherished by the Prince and the one we will do everything to protect. If there’s a next time, you won’t have that tongue anymore,” Yuan Xu said coldly to the Elder.

This was the first time the Elder regretted his quick tongue.

“Let’s put an end to this matter.”

At that moment, a person walked out from the corner. This person appeared to be in their seventies or eighties, but their eyes were sharp.

Seeing this person come out, Yu Baiya became much more respectful. He looked at the person and greeted, “Ancestor, why have you come out?”

“I heard that the brothers Yu Jingchuan and Yu Qingfeng had returned, so I came to take a look.” Upon hearing this news, he knew that Yu Qingfeng and Yu Jingchuan had come for revenge.

It was impossible for them to have any further dealings with the Yu Family.

“You Yu Family members really have quite the arrogance,” Wang Jinhe muttered under her breath.

The ancestor of the Yu Family glanced at Wang Jinhe. “The Princess is also a member of the Yu Family. When acting, it’s best to consider the Yu Family’s interests.”

Wang Jinhe pointed at her eyes with disdain. “You say that, aren’t you afraid of blinding yourself with your own arrogance?”

“You…”

“Don’t ‘you’ me. We didn’t come here to listen to your shameless words.”

Wang Jinhe’s gaze shifted to Yu Jingchuan, curious about his next move.

“You had a hand in the events of the past, didn’t you? Yu Baiya is your direct grandson, so it’s only natural for you to want to help him secure the position of the head of the family,” Yu Jingchuan said coldly, looking at the ancestor of the Yu Family.

His words caused the ancestor of the Yu Family to change his expression.

“What do you mean by that, Jingchuan? Are you doubting me?” the ancestor asked, his face darkening.

“I not only doubt you, but I also have evidence that you and Yu Baiya conspired to take the lives of everyone in our family, including Qingfeng and the others,” Yu Jingchuan said calmly.

Seeing Yu Jingchuan’s overly calm demeanor, Wang Jinhe suddenly felt worried. Shouldn’t Uncle be fine?

Why did she feel more anxious when he appeared so calm?

“Do you even know what you’re saying, Yu Jingchuan?” the ancestor of the Yu Family said angrily.

So many years had passed since the incident. If he truly had evidence, why wait until now to bring it up?
