Chapter 135 [Spirit Pearl] His Father is King Rui
Mr. Cai smiled and said, "Please accept it, sir."
Even though these two were not his daughters, he shamelessly took credit for it.
Lan Feiyue looked puzzled. After exchanging a glance with Hua Lingzhi, she turned to Ye Musi and said, "Master Cai is back again, and he brought a pig with him."
She didn't know if her description was correct, but the man looked like a pig. Although he looked fat, he didn't look like a blessed person.
But if you call it a pig, there is definitely no problem.
Ye Musi and Lu Lishen looked over at the same time and saw the county magistrate who came here to inspect.
Lu Lishen said to Cai Yi, "What is your father going to do to you, son?"
Cai Yi didn't know either, she shook her head.
"Two beauties, come into my arms!" The magistrate opened his arms and was about to embrace them, but Lan Feiyue and Hua Lingzhi dodged him. The magistrate then realized that everyone sitting in the room was a beauty. Even the child, who only cared about the food, was an extraordinary person. He truly felt that he had been lucky to come here today, as he was going to embrace six beauties.
The magistrate looked at Ji Wang carefully and thought that the child was quite good, with tender skin and flesh. He was still a child, so it would be fun to have sex with him.
The magistrate was delighted. He waved his hand, walked forward, embraced Cai Yi, who was sitting on the outermost seat, and kissed her.
Cai Yi's eyes widened and she was stunned. She covered her face and looked at the magistrate with some disgust. Who was this person who was so ugly and wanted to kiss her?
After the magistrate kissed Cai Yi, he tried to pull Ji Wang's hand, but when he was about to touch her little hand, his palm was suddenly pierced by chopsticks.
"Ah!!" the magistrate screamed. His blood not only stained his clothes, but also splashed on his face. Anger surged. It seemed that he was still a disobedient child. He must teach him a lesson!
Immediately, the guards following him rushed into the house and drew their swords against Ji Wang and others.
"You stupid kid, do you know who I am?" The magistrate pulled out the chopsticks, and the attendant came forward to bandage him.
"Oh?" Ji Wang raised his eyebrows and looked at the magistrate directly. "Who are you?"
"I am an official of the eighth rank, personally appointed as the county magistrate by His Majesty!"
Ji Wang sneered, thinking he was some big shot.
"Oh." He didn't bother with ordinary people. He finished his meal, wiped his mouth elegantly, and left the table. "I'll leave this to you. I won't get involved."
Then, to everyone's surprise, he went upstairs.
No one dared to move. The aura emitted by Ji Wang forced them to be unable to move. After everyone left, the knives in the guards' hands fell to the ground one after another.
"That's what's going on! What's wrong with you?" The magistrate was furious and stamped his feet in anger. Finally, he simply picked up the knife himself.
"You'd better not go, magistrate. That kid is not someone you can deal with." Ye Musi advised kindly. Although he didn't know what was going on, he didn't really want to cause any more trouble and wanted it to be over quickly.
The magistrate also knew that the child was extraordinary, so he didn't dare to act rashly. He just waited for Ye Musi to give him a way out. He threw the knife aside, turned to look at Ye Musi, and was delighted to find that the child was still white-haired.
"This beauty is quite sensible." The magistrate swallowed and stared at Ye Musi with lustful eyes. Then he and several guards behind him flew out of the inn and fell on the street.
"Sir!" The guards had never seen such a scene before, and they all ran out to find the magistrate.
"Ali, don't hurt the people."
"He is the one who has the evil intention and is so bold. How could he covet you? Driving you out is really too easy for him. He should be castrated."
Ye Musi didn't say anything. He stood up and left the room. The ordinary people outside had already run away. At this moment, there were only them, Mr. Cai and six others, as well as the county magistrate and guards outside in the huge inn.
"Master Cai, what do you mean by this?" Lu Lishen walked out and stood on equal footing with Ye Musi. "Hmm? Do you think what I said is wrong and are looking for someone to back you up to suppress us? Do you think I'm afraid of that pig?"
Mr. Cai didn't dare to speak. He didn't know that this group of people were cultivators. If he knew, he would never dare to provoke them.
"Master, please spare my life!" Master Cai knelt down on the ground. "You are so magnanimous. If you don't want to buy my daughter, then...just give her back to me!"
"Return? My master paid for it. If you want it back, you have to pay for it. Otherwise, don't even mention it."
Mr. Cai broke out in a cold sweat and quickly nodded in agreement.
"Ouch! You're so bold! Take them all down!" The magistrate was helped to his feet. He was heavy, so the fall didn't kill him, but instead crushed the guards beneath him. Lu Lishen's actions had completely infuriated him. He didn't care who the other party was, or what sect they came from. As long as they came to his territory, they had to obey him. Even if it was the Jade Emperor, he would still shout a few words.
The house was soon filled with people again.
"He really won't cry until he sees the coffin." Lan Feiyue shook her head and was ready to fight.
"What should I do? I don't know how to fight, and I'm afraid of hurting them with magic." Hua Lingzhi sighed.
"Don't be afraid. If they touch even a hair on your head, I will break their hands."
The three guards surrounding the two of them swallowed their throats in fear, then looked at each other, thinking that the other party was just a woman. Even if she was a cultivator, how powerful could she be? Then they attacked together. In just a few blows, they were all beaten black and blue by Lan Feiyue, without any magic.
"Feiyue is so amazing, I admire her so much."
As for Ye Musi, he didn't dare to go forward because Lu Lishen had a frighteningly gloomy face and there was a terrifying aura around him.
"What are you standing there for? Come on!" The magistrate pointed at Ye Musi.
Just as the guards were about to take action, an old voice came from behind.
"What's the commotion?!" It was the emcee of the Lantern Festival that day, named Ye Yuanqing. He had shaved off his beard, revealing his handsome face.
The magistrate turned and looked. He didn't recognize him. He was unimportant. He was wearing plain clothes and had no status. He was annoyed by Ye Yuanqing and pointed at him, asking the guards to take him away first. He was just an ordinary person.
Ye Yuanqing took out the dragon jade from his waist.
"Why, the magistrate doesn't even recognize this piece of jade?"
The magistrate opened his eyes wide, with surprise written all over his face. He knelt down hurriedly, and felt that Ye Yuanqing's face was more and more familiar, just like the current emperor!
He recalled that many years ago, the throne was not to be inherited by the retired emperor, but by Prince Rui. The Panlong Jade in Ye Yuanqing's hand was Prince Rui's, the only one in the world. At that time, Prince Rui had no interest in politics, but was determined to seek immortality. Later, he used his connections to become an immortal, and there was no news of him since.
He once heard Hua Niang say in the brothel that this jade was passed down from generation to generation since the founding of the country. Whoever owns this jade will be the future emperor. The one in the hands of the current emperor is just a replica. The real Panlong jade has a relatively shallow crack, but the one on the current emperor's hand does not have it.
"I recognize you." The magistrate was sweating profusely, completely losing his previous arrogant demeanor. "I didn't know you were here, so..."
"How dare you oppress the people? Is the current emperor so foolish and incompetent? Why did you let you take this position?"
"No... no, I dare not. It's because those lowly people have gone too far in bullying others, so I'm punishing them lightly."
"Why use a sword to punish someone? I've been away from the court for so many years, I didn't realize it was so shallow, yet there were still good and bad people mixed together. It really opened my eyes." Ye Yuanqing said, "I will report this matter to Your Majesty. Your Majesty will make the final decision. The court should also change its policies."
If the current emperor is incompetent and does not understand the ways of power, then he would not mind replacing him.
"Please spare my life, Prince Rui, please spare my life!"
"This matter is settled, there will be no survival!"
Seeing his father-in-law was so supportive, Lu Lishen said, "Get out of here!"
The magistrate knew he had hit a wall, so he quickly took his men away. Seeing this, Mr. Cai quickly ran away.
Ever since Ye Yuanqing came, Ye Musi's eyes have been on him, never leaving for a moment.
This man is his father, his biological father.
His heart was calm, without any emotional fluctuations.
"Ah Si, how are you? Are you seriously injured?"
Ye Musi left in a hurry last night, and Ye Yuanqing didn't have time to ask what happened to his white hair.
"No problem, thank you very much today." Ye Musi paused, and after thinking again and again, he squeezed out an awkward voice from his mouth, "Dad."
This word rarely appears in his dictionary, and he almost only heard it from others. When he was a child, he was particularly envious of Zhu Jianye, who had his parents by his side, and he was especially envious of the disciples in the valley who could go home and reunite with their families during the New Year.
It was also the first time that Ye Yuanqing heard Ye Musi call him dad. Yesterday, he thought that Ye Musi would not recognize him, and he was so excited that tears filled his eyes.
"Good, good boy." Ye Yuanqing's voice trembled a little. He reached out and patted Ye Musi's shoulder. "Dad is sorry for you. The situation was critical back then, and you happened to be born. So will you forgive Dad?"
"Yeah." Ye Musi didn't care. Whether it was Lingzhu or anyone else, Ye Yuanqing who showed up out of nowhere was his father, the father who gave birth to him.
"Wow, it's like you two share the same face." Lan Feiyue walked over, hand in hand with Hua Lingzhi. "It was dark last night, so I didn't look closely. I didn't expect to find a father here. I miss my father too, but he's dead, haha." She was silent for a moment, then said, "I just saw you holding the Panlong Jade. You are Prince Rui. Are you the one in the folk story, 'Junior Brother, Love Gently'?"
This storybook has some connection with the Hidden Valley. Ye Musi may not know that this storybook was published a long time ago and has long been out of stock. The protagonist in the storybook is the love story of Lan Feiyue's senior sister and senior brother, whom he has never met.
"It's been a long time, and Junior Sister has remembered this storybook." Ye Yuanqing said, "But everything in the storybook is false, so don't believe it."
This storybook was compiled by Ye Musi's mother when they were together. He thought it was ridiculous at the time, but his lover really liked it, so he didn't say anything.
"So you know who I am. I'm so happy to meet the protagonist in my lifetime."
…
Afterwards, Ye Yuanqing had something to say to Ye Musi, so he went upstairs first. Lan Feiyue cleaned up the mess, and Lu Lishen went to look for Ji Wang.
"What are your plans?" Ye Yuanqing asked.
"Stop Hua Jin from breaking the seal and protect the heavens."
Ye Yuanqing nodded. He also knew about the situation between Hua Jin and Mu Chi. He said, "If you want to stop it, then you only have one way to go."
"Become a real spirit bead." Ye Musi said.
"To become a spiritual pearl, both the main pearl and the luminous pearl are indispensable. I have been searching for the luminous pearl for years, but I can't figure out where Mu Chi put it. There are only two places I haven't searched: the Hidden Valley and the Imperial Palace. I will return to the palace in a few days to see if I can find any clues. As for the Hidden Valley, you are familiar with it, so you can go there." He paused, and when Ye Musi didn't say anything, he continued, "Your hair is caused by backlash. The son of the goddess treated you badly."
Ye Yuanqing looked at the bead on Ye Musi's wrist, which had lost its bright red color and had a slight crack.
Ye Musi followed his gaze and quickly covered his eyes.
"He treated me very well. It was an accident, nothing serious."
"Okay, I won't ask about what happened between you two." Ye Yuanqing took out a safety lock and handed it to Ye Musi. "Your mother had someone make this for you. Before she could give it to you, you were taken away."
When Ye Musi refused to take it, he stood up and walked to Ye Musi's side and put it on him with his own hands.
"Although it's been a long time, it was given to you by your mother. She wanted you to live a healthy and happy life. It happened suddenly, and we had no choice."
"I know that taking the world as one's own responsibility is the first rule of Yinyou Valley. I know it clearly in my heart." Ye Musi said lightly, as if he had no emotion.
Seeing Ye Musi like this, Ye Yuanqing didn't know how to make it up to him. They had missed so much time together. Ye Musi didn't complain, wasn't sad, and was so calm. This made Ye Yuanqing feel even more guilty.
"I have to leave now. I came here today to say goodbye to you. We can get together again some other day, and I'll take you to meet your mother."
Just when Ye Yuanqing's hand was only one step away from the door handle, Ye Musi suddenly said, "In fact, when I was a child, I wondered where my parents were. Why do other people have parents, but I don't? Why am I an orphan? When I saw Aye acting like a spoiled child to his mother, I was very envious. When I saw Aye being bullied by Hua Jin, his father went to talk to the master and asked him to severely punish Hua Jin. I was really envious. Later, I envied him so much that I stopped envying him. I became the master of Yinyou Valley, and everyone was disappointed in me. At that time, I was thinking, if only I could hide in A'niang's arms and cry, but I didn't have a mother, so I accepted it. Later, I learned that I was Lingzhu. It turned out that I was really without parents. After I figured it out, I didn't feel so wronged. Now I have one again. Why don't you let me never know, and I won't be as sad as I am now?"
Ye Yuanqing paused his movements and slowed down his pace. He had a thousand words to say, but he didn't know where to start. It's not that he didn't want Ye Musi anymore. He loved Ye Musi very much. That was the child he and his lover had conceived together and they had been looking forward to for a long time. How could he bear to give him up?
He couldn't bear to do that.
"I've let you down. Whether you blame me or hate me, I will work harder to make it up to you."
"If there was another child born around the same time as me, would you still send me away?"
