"Thump!"
Before Ye Chen could react, similarly overcome by guilt, Ye Hua's knees buckled and he fell to the ground with a thud, his face as pale as paper.
All eyes in the hall focused sharply and converged on them...
"Thump!"
Startled by the Ancestor of Ye Family's fierce shout, Ye Chen also shuddered and, not daring to flee, immediately knelt beside Ye Hua, his head hanging in despair...
"Elder, it's not Chen Shao's fault. We really had no other choice. The Man in White went too far, suddenly attacking Chen Shao and nearly succeeding..."
Before the Ancestor of Ye Family could question him, Ye Hua revealed everything, pouring out the details like bamboo spilling its contents, "Moreover, we just intended to create a minor conflict, but it unintentionally led to the death of those two from the Seventh Stage."
