Chapter 26 The Fengchang Temple is getting more and more greedy!

at this time!

Ye Chi was taking care of trivial matters with the girl in the dormitory. Outside the window, the parasol trees were swaying and the autumn atmosphere was getting deeper.

He knew the reason why Fusu and others did not come today. Fusu had personally asked for leave the day before, saying that he had important matters to take care of.

Ye Chi didn't mind this. He knew that Fusu was an honest person and was academically motivated, so he trusted him quite a bit.

While I was busy, I suddenly heard a noise outside the door.

One person pointed at the ancient courtyard in front and sneered: "Everyone, in my opinion, this Ye Chi is just a person with a good appearance and exaggerated deeds!"

"The fame of the past is now nothing but a joke!!"

Changing the subject, someone else sneered, "Didn't Ye Chi always say that we Fengchang Temple members were trapped in worldly affairs and not doing our jobs?"

"How come today, you feel at ease occupying this mansion given by Fengchang Temple? It's really ridiculous!"

In the courtyard, Ye Chi frowned. He had already heard the discussions outside the door.

Those harsh words pierced his ears like needles, making the resentment in his heart even more turbulent!

He signaled the girl next to him to step aside for the time being, and he himself went to face the uninvited guest who was about to break in!
The door was pushed open roughly, and a group of people arrogantly broke into the yard.

The Shaoqing of Fengchang Temple, who was in the lead, had a smug look on his face, and the officials following behind him were all arrogant, as if they had the power of life and death in their hands!
Ye Chi suppressed his anger, bowed and asked, "Master Shaoqing, you are visiting my humble home. I wonder if you have any advice for me?"

There was a hint of coldness in his tone, and it was obvious that he was not happy about the arrival of this group of people.

The Shaoqing of Fengchang Temple glanced at Ye Chi with a sarcastic smile on his face: "Ye Chi, Ye Chi, didn't you think you were noble and disdainful of associating with us? How did you fall to this point today?"

Then, he changed the subject and said sternly: "Today we have come to convey the temple's intention! Since you, Ye Chi, have left Fengchang Temple, you are no longer a member of the temple."

"This mansion is the property of the temple. You are ordered to move out immediately! You are not allowed to use the name of Fengchang Temple to do anything in the future!"

His voice was full of pride and arrogance, as if he had finally caught Ye Chi's weakness.

Ye Chi's heart sank when he heard this. He knew very well that this mansion meant a lot to him. It was not only a place to settle down, but also a testimony to his hard work over the years.

He immediately said: "This house was purchased with my own savings, not a gift from Fengchang Temple."

The Shaoqing's face darkened when he heard this, and he shouted, "How dare you, Ye Chi! How dare you deceive me? This mansion was clearly allocated by Fengchang Temple for the doctors to live in. When did it become your private property?!"

Ye Chi was angry in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface!

He took out the land deed from his bosom, handed it to Shao Qing and said, "This is the land deed for purchasing this house. My name is clearly written on it."

The young official took the deed, glanced at it, and threw it on the ground, sneering: "You think you can deceive me with just a deed? Let me tell you, this mansion now belongs to Fengchang Temple. Even if you have great ability, you can't keep it!!"

The officials behind him also echoed the threats!

"Hehe, Ye Chi, you were arrogant in the past, and despised our Fengchang Temple as a rag. You always claimed that you were a clean official and were unwilling to associate with people like us. But now, how can you be so shameless as to live in this mansion given by Fengchang Temple?" One person shook his head, with sarcasm evident in his words.

"Ye Chi, didn't you boast of being noble and upright in the past and look down upon us as dust? Why are you willing to degenerate now and compete with common people like us for this tiny piece of land?" Another person sneered, his tone full of disdain and contempt.

"Didn't you ask everyone to follow your rules in Fengchang Temple? Why have you forgotten your original intention and are breaking the rules now?"

One person sneered and questioned, as if he had found Ye Chi's weakness. "Ye Chi, your current situation is really pathetic! Your former glory is gone, and now you are just mud under our feet!" One person shook his head and sighed, as if he felt sorry for Ye Chi's fall.

However, his tone was full of sarcasm and complacency, and he was obviously enjoying the pleasure of sarcasm.

Ye Chi clenched his fists, he knew that today would not end peacefully no matter what.

This group of people clearly came to suppress him, and no matter what he said or did, he could not change this fact.

"Everyone, Ye knows that I have offended others in the past, but that was out of public interest rather than personal grudge."

"Although Ye has fallen into such a state now, he is definitely not someone who will allow himself to be bullied!!"

Ye Chi said with his head held high, his voice full of firmness and determination.

However, the other party was not intimidated by his momentum, but burst into laughter instead!
"Hahaha! Ye Chi, ah Ye Chi, what qualifications do you have to challenge us now?"

"You are just a poor commoner, and we are the dignitaries of Fengchang Temple!"

"You want to compete with us? You really overestimate your own abilities!"

They laughed and talked as if they were watching a clown performance.

Ye Chi was furious when he heard this, but he knew that arguing at this time was useless and would only put him in a more passive situation!

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "If that's the case, I have nothing to say, but please give me three days. Once I have sorted out the things in the house, I will move out immediately."

Upon hearing this, the young official sneered and said, "Three days? Do you think you are still the Doctor Ye you were before? I will take back this house today. If you know what's best for you, get out of here!"

After saying this, he waved his hand, and the people behind him rushed forward to rob him!
Seeing this, Ye Chi was startled. He knew that today's matter could not be resolved peacefully. He said in a cold voice: "Sir Shaoqing, are you going to rob us openly?!"

Seeing that Ye Chi dared to refute, the Shaoqing was furious and shouted, "So what if I rob you? You are just a commoner, and you dare to go against me?!"

After saying this, he ordered people to move all the items in the house away.

Ye Chi was filled with anger. He looked coldly at the people from Fengchang Temple. His heart was filled with helplessness and grief, and it felt like a knife was cutting him!

Although these items are not worth much money, they are priceless treasures to him. Each one carries his past memories and hard work.

After everyone moved the things in the mansion, they still refused to give up and mocked Ye Chi in every possible way.

One of them said proudly, "Dr. Ye, your former glory is now gone. Although we are not rich, we are willing to donate a little money to find a place for you to stay."

After saying this, everyone burst into laughter, as if they were expecting Ye Chi to be embarrassed.

Ye Chi watched coldly from the sidelines, knowing everything that was going on.

He knew very well that these people just wanted to laugh at him and satisfy their ridiculous vanity.

He smiled slightly, with a hint of contempt and disdain in his smile, as if he was watching a crude farce.

"Although Ye is not talented, he is not a beggar."

"Today's difficulties are only temporary. One day we will be able to ride the wind and waves and revive our family's reputation."
