Su Changfeng, now aware of his past life, confronts and physically assaults Ye Weijun. He asserts his newfound confidence and power, no longer willing to endure the Ye family's mistreatment. Despite warnings from a concerned servant, Su Changfeng stands his ground when his grandmother, Shangguan Feihong, arrives to punish him for hitting Ye Weijun, boldly defying her authority.

Ji Hong saw this and felt a surge of anger. She immediately walked to Su Changfeng’s side, seized his hand, and said coldly, "Let go."

What a familiar scene, such grievance and injustice, seemed to be the most profound memory of his youth. Perhaps in their hearts, a person like him should accept such treatment, without even a thought of resisting.

"Alright." Su Changfeng released his grip just as Shangguan Feihong was exerting force.

Because Shangguan Feihong had used too much strength, she lost her balance when Su Changfeng suddenly let go, and fell backward, landing on the ground.

Ji Hong was startled and no longer paid attention to Su Changfeng; she hurried over to help Shangguan Feihong up.

After Ye Qingtian’s death, the old lady became the head of the Ye Family. The family was supported by her alone. If anything were to happen to her, the Ye Family would truly be in trouble.

However, Ye Qingtian was not dead, but they were unaware of this yet.

"Wretch, you wretch, your courage is growing larger and larger." Shangguan Feihong was so angry that her body was trembling, clearly unable to accept that someone who always endured silently would speak to her this way.

Seeing his grandmother fall to the ground because of Su Changfeng, Ye Weijun rolled his eyes, planning to take advantage of Su Changfeng’s distraction to launch a sneak attack.

But what kind of person was Su Changfeng? Even though he was living his 14th year for the second time, his skills remained intact, so Ye Weijun’s every move was naturally within his awareness.

So when Ye Weijun was gleefully thinking he would succeed in his sneak attack, Su Changfeng unceremoniously kicked him, sending him flying.

Unfortunate Ye Weijun landed heavily on the ground, crying out in agony.

"Go, call Huo Tian over. I must properly deal with this wretch today!" Shangguan Feihong said to Ji Hong.

Ji Hong looked at Su Changfeng with icy eyes. Even though she didn’t understand what had happened to him, she knew Su Changfeng would undoubtedly pay for his actions. Although Huo Tian had always treated Su Changfeng well, with Su Changfeng acting so disrespectfully, defying the old matriarch, Huo Tian was bound to hold nothing back.

Soon, Ji Hong returned with Huo Tian.

As Su Changfeng saw the only person in the Ye Family who genuinely treated him well, a trace of warmth finally appeared in his cold eyes.

Despite his formidable strength now, he still regarded Huo Tian as a grandfather.

"Grandpa Huo." Su Changfeng greeted with a smile.

Shangguan Feihong mistakenly thought Su Changfeng was afraid and coldly laughed, mockingly saying, "Hmph, it’s too late to admit fault now!"

"Admit fault? You’re overthinking. I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong," Su Changfeng said offland.

Witnessing Su Changfeng’s arrogant attitude, Shangguan Feihong was utterly unbearable. She immediately spoke to Huo Tian: "Look at how arrogant this wretch is. He completely disregards me. You treat him well, but now he is a threat to the Ye Family. You should know what needs to be done, right?"

A threat to the Ye Family?

So this was considered a threat to the Ye Family, and Shangguan Feihong actually wanted him dead!

Su Changfeng never imagined that in Shangguan Feihong’s heart, his life was so cheap.

If he hadn’t endured it back then, perhaps he would have already been killed by Shangguan Feihong, wouldn’t he?

Huo Tian frowned at Su Changfeng. Based on his understanding of Su Changfeng, he certainly wouldn’t be so impulsive. Although young, he had a mature mindset and knew what he needed to do first.

If he fell out with Shangguan Feihong, he would lose the Ye Family as a backing. Then, it wouldn’t be so easy to secretly build a power base, so logically, Su Changfeng wouldn’t do something like this.

Thus, Huo Tian was somewhat unsure now of what Su Changfeng intended to do and why he was causing such a large conflict at this time.

Huo Tian naturally didn’t know that for this 14-year-old, it was already Su Changfeng’s second life.

With Su Changfeng’s current strength, he completely didn’t need the Ye Family as a backing. Although to others, he still appeared as a 14-year-old teenage boy, he himself knew he was already strong enough to dictate everything.

In the current state, Su Changfeng was no different from the Silver Flood Dragon of Tianyuan Continent, crushing everyone with absolute might.

"Don’t just stand there foolishly, get on with it." Shangguan Feihong urged Huo Tian seeing he hadn’t made a move, unable to hold back any longer. In her eyes, Ye Weijun was her only grandson. As for Su Changfeng, she not only disliked him but also wanted to drive him out of the Ye Family entirely. However, she had never found a suitable reason until now.

So this time, since Su Changfeng dared to defy her, naturally she would seize the opportunity to drive Su Changfeng out of the Ye Family.

"Grandpa Huo, act." Su Changfeng said calmly; he didn’t want to make things difficult for Huo Tian. After all, Huo Tian existed to maintain the Ye Family’s stability. Anyone who threatened the Ye Family would prompt Huo Tian to take action, even if it was him.

Huo Tian’s eyebrows knitted tightly. What was up with Su Changfeng? Could it be he’d come up with another plan, so he didn’t care about Shangguan Feihong even if it meant leaving the Ye Family?

"Changfeng, apologize to your grandmother right now." Huo Tian finally said.

"Grandmother?" Ye Weijun piped up unhappily, "He’s never treated her like an elder, so how can he be called a part of the Ye Family?"

"Jun’er is right. This wretch’s abilities have grown, and he no longer acknowledges me. Huo Tian, why haven’t you acted? Are you defying my orders?" Shangguan Feihong said.

"I’m overthinking, I’m not under your command. What authority do you have to command me?" Huo Tian said expressionlessly. Only Ye Qingtian could command him; his position in the Ye Family was quite unique, so even Shangguan Feihong couldn’t command him.

However, when the Ye Family was threatened, Huo Tian indeed would need to act; Ye Qingtian instructed him on this previously.

Shangguan Feihong’s face was full of anger. She knew well Huo Tian’s status and that she couldn’t command him. She had said it out of anger, unexpectedly Huo Tian wouldn’t give her any face.

"Fine, I can’t command you, but shouldn’t you do what you’re supposed to do?" Shangguan Feihong said coldly.

Seeing the difficulty written on Huo Tian’s face, Su Changfeng could only sigh. He understood that Huo Tian was reluctant to take action against him, but eventually, this matter had to be resolved.

"Grandpa Huo, since it’s like this, I’ll have to offend you." With those words, Su Changfeng took initiative to make his move.
