"Don't worry. To avoid being identified, the Li family and the Liu family were all masked and cloaked—they were dressed exactly like bandits. Furthermore, they attacked our Ye family estate first. I only know they were robbers; I don't know anything about any Li or Liu family. Everyone in Cyan Mountain Town is aware of this. Even if the City Lord's Mansion finds out, they'll have nothing to say." The old man was full of domineering confidence. "Besides, the Wang family and the Zhou family launched a sneak attack on our Ye family. If the City Lord's Mansion is going to punish anyone, they'll punish the Wang and Zhou families first."
Old Man Ye Batian was completely fearless.
He had a very good point. This time, the members of the Li family and the Liu family, led by their Patriarchs, had attacked the Ye family estate while masked. That was unequivocally the act of bandits. Even if the Ye family killed them all, they would have no grounds for complaint, no argument to make.
