The Lay Flat Life: My Wife's Cultivation Makes Me Stronger - Chapter 46

Han Feng looked at the miserable and battered Ye Longquan, yet he still had more to say.

“Tell me, your Ye family—I’ve been the target of three assassination attempts already. When that didn’t work, you turned to schemes and traps. I’m just a disciple who cultivates herbs, yet you orchestrated a massive conspiracy, claiming my herbs were problematic.

From the collectors, to the alchemists, to the testers of the pills, and even to the trial elders—every single person involved was a member of the Ye family.

Your family played both the plaintiff and the judge, running the process from start to finish, all with the sole aim of imprisoning me.

Had the Enforcement Hall’s Senior Brother not arrived in time to uncover your abuse of power and brought in an impartial elder, exposing flaws in the herb system, I might already be dead under false charges.

That was the fourth time.

The fifth time? Here in the secret realm, you’re still trying to kill me. You assembled over fifty people, intending to duel me while using my friend to threaten me.

Five times. Five times in just one month, your Ye family has tried to kill me.

Yes, I admit it—I can’t compare to the Ye family. Your family is vast, powerful, with strong cultivators and boundless resources.

But as one of the great families, shouldn’t you bear the responsibility of defending the sect and upholding its laws?

So why is it that you repeatedly choose to persecute a mere servant disciple?

I’ve done nothing wrong. I’ve made no mistakes.

Yet because I’m weak, I deserve to die. Is that it?”

Han Feng’s words stirred deep contemplation among all the disciples watching from outside.

At first, they had been shocked by Han Feng’s ruthlessness and thought he might have gone too far against his fellow disciple.

But now, after hearing his words, they began to sympathize with him.

After all, among the sect’s hundreds of thousands of disciples, the majority were like Han Feng—ordinary disciples with no background, no special talent, and no connections.

It was precisely this massive population of ordinary disciples that supported the Yin-Yang Sect, enabling it to continuously produce prodigies and strong cultivators, ensuring its legacy for generations.

Han Feng was just like them—an ordinary person without power or influence.

And as Han Feng had said, even without committing any wrongs, merely because they were weak and powerless…

Did that mean they deserved to die?

This was their Yin-Yang Sect, not the Ye family’s sect.

Driven by passion, one hot-blooded disciple stood up and roared, “Shameless Ye family! Get out of the sect!”

His shout ignited the fervor of the crowd. Responding to his call, countless disciples joined in the chant.

“Shameless Ye family! Get out of the Yin-Yang Sect!”

“This is our sect, not the Ye family’s sect!”

“The Ye family persecutes disciples and carries out assassinations. They deserve total annihilation!”

“Countless disciples have been oppressed, but Han Feng is the first to speak out. He’s our hero! Protect Han Feng!”

“Great families, leave the sect! Give us back our justice!”

“Ye family, get out! Confess your crimes!”

The crowd grew angrier, their curses echoing loudly.

The Ye family members present turned pale. They hadn’t expected that a mere servant disciple like Han Feng could stir up such a massive reaction, rousing the emotions of the entire sect.

In truth, Han Feng was merely a spark that ignited the long-simmering resentment of ordinary disciples who had endured years of oppression by the great families.

Han Feng was just a symbol, representing countless ordinary disciples across the Yin-Yang Sect.

Every eye was now on Han Feng. If anything were to happen to him in the future, everyone would assume the Ye family was behind it. Even if they weren’t, they would still be blamed.

The Sect Leader, seeing the uproar below, immediately shouted, “Silence! Remember where you are! This is the Ancestor’s Ceremony—shouting and disruptions will not be tolerated. Justice and fairness will be upheld by the sect.

Rest assured and continue observing the ceremony!”

With the Sect Leader’s command, the disciples gradually quieted down and returned to their seats.

Though they stopped shouting, the Ye family members grew increasingly anxious.

Especially Ye Longquan’s father.

Ye Longquan’s father, ranked third in the Ye family and the younger brother of Ye Longyuan’s father, flew into the air and approached Elder Tie Lian, shouting, “Elder Tie! That Han Feng’s treatment of my son is no longer a fair duel—it’s abuse, it’s torture!

My son already called for an exit! He should’ve been transported out, and Han Feng should’ve been captured and punished on the spot!

Is the Enforcement Hall just going to stand by and do nothing? My son is on the verge of being killed by him!”

Upon hearing this, the Peak Masters and elders in the air all looked at him as if he were an idiot.

In that moment, it was as if they were collectively saying, Are you blind? The Ye family has already stirred up widespread anger, and yet you still have the audacity to shout here? Do you have any sense of awareness?

Sure enough, as soon as he spoke, the disciples below erupted once again.

“Ye Longquan brought this on himself! If he hadn’t harmed Han Feng, would Han Feng have treated him this way?”

“Han Feng is just giving them a taste of their own medicine! You Ye family people tried to kill him, but you won’t allow him to fight back?”

“The Ye family is too overbearing! Ye family, get out of the sect!”

“Han Feng didn’t kill him. Han Feng didn’t break any rules. Han Feng is innocent!”

“Every single one of the Ye family are petty scoundrels, despicable dogs! Ye family, f*** your mother!”

“Fuck the Ye family’s ancestors for eighteen generations!”

“The Ye family must meet their downfall!”

The crowd’s anger boiled over, as if they all had personal vendettas against the Ye family.

In truth, the Ye family had become a scapegoat, a symbol for the disciples to vent their pent-up frustrations against the powerful families.

Of course, not every member of the Ye family deserved to die; no family was entirely good or entirely bad. But the disciples didn’t care about such nuances. They didn’t know the names of the Ye family members involved; all they knew was that they were from the Ye family.

And so, they cursed the Ye family as a whole.

Nearby, the Jiang family and other families watched the Ye family’s humiliation and couldn’t help but laugh.

Jiang Surou’s sister was particularly gleeful. “Good! Keep cursing them! Curse those bastards into the ground and drive them out of the sect! Hahaha!”

Jiang Surou’s father glared at her, saying, “Watch your demeanor. How can you laugh at a time like this? Han Feng has suffered repeated assassination attempts and persecution because of our Surou. And all of this happened within a month.

We, the Jiang family, failed to protect him. We need to reflect on our own shortcomings.

Those damned Ye family bastards. They’re despicable and shameless.

And it’s not just Ye Longyuan. The entire Ye family is rotten to the core!

This feud is set—we, the Jiang family, will not let this go.”

Jiang Surou’s sister immediately added, “Exactly! The Jiang family isn’t afraid of them. Anyone who dares bully one of ours deserves to die!”
