Chapter 2041: I don’t want to accept your answer

The Zhang family’s Third Elder and all the disciples stared at Ye Li with utter shock.

Ye Li’s face remained utterly expressionless.

“Who are you, really?!”

The Third Elder of the Zhang family looked at Ye Li with extreme terror.

Ye Li responded with a faint, indifferent smile.

“Didn’t I already tell you? My name is Ye Li.”

However, what Ye Li hadn’t anticipated was that, after only a moment, the Third Elder’s expression suddenly turned resolute.

“Heh!”

The Zhang family’s Third Elder let out a cold laugh directed at Ye Li.

“What are you laughing about?”

A hint of curiosity appeared on Ye Li’s handsome, jade-like face.

“What am I laughing about?”

“Ye Li, don’t forget, this is the Zhang family.”

Upon hearing these words, Ye Li quickly grasped their meaning.

“You’re saying that a mighty dragon can’t suppress a local snake, correct?”

“That’s right!”

The Third Elder replied coldly, glaring at Ye Li.

All the Zhang family disciples nodded in agreement. Although they conceded Ye Li’s formidable defense, this was, in the end, the territory of the Zhang family.

As powerful as Ye Li might be, could he truly dare to behave so brazenly within their Zhang family grounds?

They all turned their eyes toward Ye Li. Yet, to their great surprise, Ye Li’s face remained devoid of any emotion.

It was as though he hadn’t even heard a single word they had spoken.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?”

The Third Elder of the Zhang family noticed Ye Li’s silence and addressed him in a cold tone.

The disciples of the Zhang family also looked on, waiting for Ye Li’s response.

“Why should I speak?”

A trace of playful contempt appeared on Ye Li’s jade-like face. “To ants like you? No, I’d rather not waste my words.”

What!!!

Upon hearing this, all the disciples of the Zhang family were left utterly stupefied.

The Third Elder of their exalted Zhang family—reduced to merely an ant in this person’s eyes?

No matter how long they deliberated, they could not have imagined Ye Li uttering such words.

Hahahaha!

All of a sudden, the Third Elder burst into loud laughter, as though he had never heard anything so ridiculous in his lifetime.

“Ye Li, surely you must realize just how absurd your words sound?”

The Third Elder spoke coldly to Ye Li.

Ye Li smiled.

“Do I?”

The Third Elder, seeing that Ye Li remained so audacious and composed, erupted in immeasurable fury.

“You’re courting death!”

Without another word, the Third Elder unleashed a thunderous punch aimed directly at Ye Li.

The fist closed in—mere hairsbreadth away now—just as all the Zhang family disciples assumed Ye Li was still completely unprepared to dodge it. Suddenly, Ye Li vanished into thin air.

What!!!

Every disciple of the Zhang family was utterly astonished.

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t believe it—Ye Li’s speed was beyond comprehension.

At such an impossibly close range, how had Ye Li managed to evade?

They couldn’t believe it; they truly couldn’t!

Immediately, the Third Elder and the disciples of the Zhang family frantically searched for Ye Li’s whereabouts. But no matter how hard they looked, even to the point of straining their eyes, it was impossible to locate him.

“I’m over here.”

Suddenly, a slightly languid voice swept through their ears.

Following the sound, the Zhang family disciples turned their gaze and saw Ye Li standing atop the rooftop to their right.

“You…”

The Third Elder of the Zhang family stared at Ye Li in sheer terror.

Ye Li’s speed—the likes of which even the Third Elder had never seen, nor even heard of.

Ahhh!!!

Out of nowhere, the Third Elder let out a blood-curdling scream.

The Zhang family disciples quickly turned toward the source of the sound.

As they laid eyes on the scene, they froze in horror.

The Third Elder of the Zhang family lay collapsed on the ground, his right leg mangled by a ghastly, bloody wound.

This, this, this…

The Zhang family disciples were left utterly stupefied.

They hadn’t seen how Ye Li had struck, but the Third Elder was now lying on the ground, and the horrifying wound on his leg spoke for itself.

Exchanging helpless glances, the disciples struggled to process this scene.

The tragic scream summoned the Zhang family’s Patriarch and all the Elders to the scene.

“What is going on?”

The Zhang family Patriarch bellowed.

“Patriarch, it’s like… like this.”

One of the disciples hesitantly explained the situation to the Patriarch.

Hearing this, both the Patriarch and the Elders were left dumbfounded.

“Are you… are you serious?”

“Yes, look—he’s right there!”

The Patriarch and the Elders turned to the spot, and sure enough, Ye Li stood there.

“How dare you treat my Third Elder this way!”

The Patriarch spoke coldly to Ye Li.

“What did I do to your Third Elder?”

Ye Li gazed at the Patriarch indifferently.

At these words, fury erupted from the Patriarch, an inferno burning within him at the audacity of Ye Li to feign ignorance even now.

Without missing a beat, Ye Li raised his palm once more.

All the Zhang family disciples’ faces turned pale with dread; who knew what Ye Li was planning this time?

But what came next was wholly unexpected—a glow of gentle spiritual power began to radiate from Ye Li’s palm.

The warmth of the glow flowed toward the Third Elder’s right leg.

As it reached the blood-soaked wound, the injury began to heal—visible to the naked eye.

Hiss…

The Patriarch, the Elders, and all the disciples of the Zhang family watched in sheer amazement.

Such incredible techniques—did they truly exist in this world?

If they hadn’t witnessed it themselves, no force on earth could convince them.

Within mere seconds, the ghastly wound on the Third Elder’s leg had entirely disappeared.

The Zhang family members could only stare wide-eyed at Ye Li, overwhelmed by his unfathomable abilities.

And yet, Ye Li’s face remained as unmoved as ever. He cast an indifferent glance at the Patriarch and spoke calmly:

“You said I treated your Third Elder poorly earlier, didn’t you? What about now?”

Ye Li looked at the Patriarch, calm yet biting.

The Patriarch was speechless—his face frozen in astonishment.

Suddenly, Ye Li vanished from the rooftop.

“Speak.”

Ye Li reappeared at the Patriarch’s side.

The Patriarch and all the Elders stared at Ye Li in sheer terror.

“What… what do you want to do?”

The Patriarch looked at Ye Li with palpable fear.

“I want you to answer me.”

Ye Li spoke to the Patriarch slowly and deliberately.

But what was the Patriarch to say?

“I… I don’t know.”

A few seconds passed before the Patriarch could muster a reply.

Ye Li smiled faintly upon hearing the response.

“But what should I do if I refuse to accept that answer?”
