Hell, still ignoring Ye Yang, mused internally, "Who in their right mind would dare attack him while I'm around?" He scoffed, "A mere day apart, and you're already targeted. How unfortunate."
A twisted smile crept across his lips as he regarded Ye Yang, "Kneel five times, and perhaps I'll consider aiding you."
Yu Mei, witnessing the silent tension, interjected, "You two, stop glaring at each other like that. It's quite childish."
Ye Mu, ever the playful one, chimed in, "Mother, it seems Hell really missed Brother. Look at the love they share."
Ye Yang coughed awkwardly, "Little sister, please don't joke around."
Yu Mei turned her attention back to her son, "So, have you spoken with Barad and Dan Ya about the situation?"
Ye Yang shook his head, "No, Mother. They were busy with guests. I plan to visit them again tomorrow." He lied, fearing his mother's questions about his abrupt return and Aunt Ya's reply to her.
