The Ling family, Ling Yuxun's home, has kept her under house arrest in recent days. Her father, Ling Yue, forbade Ling Yuxun from stepping out of the Ling family home, threatening to disown her if she did. He also assigned bodyguards to watch over her, knowing that Ye Tianchen was about to clash with the young master of Longteng and had also offended the Xuanyuan and Ouyang families; Ye Tianchen faced a situation that was most certainly deadly.
Ling Yue acted out of concern for his own family, especially his daughter's safety, so he kept Ling Yuxun confined at home while keeping an eye on Ye Tianchen. He was not optimistic about this young man's prospects, but he was curious to see how Ye Tianchen would handle the situation. Even in failure, Ye Tianchen could be proud, for scarcely anyone else in China would dare to offend these powerful forces so boldly and courageously.
