Chapter 139 [Spirit Pearl] He is the only one kept in the dark
"Really? Then Master is really strange. I must make sure to warm him up."
Lu Lishen was about to take action when he spoke, but was stopped by Ye Musi.
"I'm tired and feel weak all over. Please rub my body." From the tone, both of them were sure that she was acting coquettishly.
Ever since Ye Musi and Lu Lishen got together and understood his own heart, he has been acting like a spoiled child quite often, as if to make up for having nowhere to act as a spoiled child. He would hug Lu Lishen and say in a pinched voice that he was sleepy, tired, wanted to cry, wanted to play, wanted...
Lu Lishen would always satisfy him, because for Lu Lishen, this was something he could not give up, and he would do it subconsciously.
They are very happy at this moment, and it will only last for a few days.
Lu Li kneaded deeply, sometimes using force playfully, and heard Ye Musi hum.
After a long time, the two kissed each other and then got up again.
Because He Ju is here.
Ye Musi hurried to put on his clothes, but Lu Lishen was not in a hurry.
"Master is not in a hurry, so what if I ask him to wait?"
"Be polite."
Ye Musi finished getting dressed and went downstairs, followed closely by Lu Lishen.
Lan Feiyue was already receiving He Ju. She poured a cup of tea for her master. The two seemed to be talking about something, but Ye Musi didn't hear clearly. He walked closer to them and stopped talking.
"Elder He." Ye Musi called out.
"I hope you are well, Master."
Ye Musi sat aside and Lan Feiyue also brewed a cup for him.
He Ju frowned and said, "Not that I'm fine."
He pointed to his neck, and then said to Lu Lishen in a somewhat scolding tone: "How did you take care of your master? Did you even take care of him in bed?"
Ye Musi felt that it was wrong, absolutely wrong. He Ju should have scolded him no matter what. Why should she scold Lu Lishen? Lu Lishen was Lingzhu.
"You too, lied to the Elders' Hall. What if something goes wrong?"
Ye Musi looked at Lan Feiyue with his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Don't look at Feiyue, I asked her to say it, why are you unhappy?"
Ye Musi lowered his eyes. He was just wondering how Lan Feiyue knew it. Hua Lingzhi would not tell him unless he asked.
"I dare not."
He Ju took a sip of tea and said, "How is Shenghe Mountain?"
"Everything is fine."
"Um."
Ye Musi and He Ju didn't say much, simply sipping their tea. The tense atmosphere was so tense that Lan Feiyue felt a little breathless. Ye Musi wondered what He Ju was doing there. Was she here to lecture him about lying about his identity and visiting the barrier? But he only lectured him and didn't even go to Shenghe Mountain.
After waiting for a long time, He Ju spoke lightly.
"Where's Ye Yuanqing? I have something to ask him."
After learning that Ye Mushi's father was Ye Yuanqing, Lan Feiyue sent a message back that night. However, she didn't expect that this person was his senior brother. Moreover, Ye Mushi and her senior brother looked so similar, and her master was not short-sighted. How could he not see that Ye Mushi was Ye Yuanqing's son?
I think he already knew it a long time ago, but he still looked so lukewarm, as if he really wanted to expel her senior brother from the sect.
"The elder arrived at an unfortunate time. He's gone."
"Leave? Where is he going?" He Ju was puzzled. Without waiting for Ye Musi's answer, she asked, "Are you blaming him?"
"It's not a matter of resentment, we just met a few times. He went to the human palace and returned to be Prince Rui."
He Ju frowned, obviously not believing it.
"Where is Yu Mengqing? She is your mother. She can't just leave you and leave, right?" His tone was obviously a little displeased. This Yu Mengqing was his eldest disciple. Not only that, she was also his daughter, but she took her mother's surname. He only brought Yu Mengqing with him after his wife died. Very few people in the valley knew that they were father and daughter.
They hadn't seen each other for over thirty years. Didn't Yu Mengqing ever think of him? He could see her in his dreams every time. Didn't she want to leave her father and go with that outsider?
"So that's my mother's name." Ye Musi had seen this name before. He had seen it before, and he knew who his mother's apprentice was. He had seen it in the collection of books in the library, but this was the first time he heard someone say it. "She's dead."
"Dead?" He Ju was stunned for a long time, his face suddenly becoming haggard. It had been so long, so long that he, as a father, had forgotten what his daughter looked like. He looked at Ye Musi's face, trying to find traces of Yu Mengqing on his face and recall it.
When he first met Ye Musi, Ye Musi was already one month old and his face had grown a little. He looked very much like Ye Yuanqing. Anyone who saw it in the valley would know it, but no one said anything. He Ju didn't say anything when she saw it, but just asked Mu Chi silently.
"What does this mean?" He Ju asked. "What do you mean by sending the child here? Are you not going to raise him?"
"Senior Brother Ye and Senior Sister Yu had something to do and didn't come back. They asked me to bring A Si back to the valley. They will be back when they are done with their work." Mu Chi did not tell He Ju about the matter for fear that he would be sad.
After listening to Mu Chi's words, He Ju waited silently for his daughter and disciple to return home. He watched Ye Musi grow up day by day, and watched Ye Musi become more and more like Ye Yuanqing.
Until one day Mu Chi suddenly met him secretly and told him that he wanted him to assist Ye Musi and that he would pass the throne to Ye Musi and let Ye Musi be the master of the valley.
He Ju was displeased and said with a wave of her sleeves, "How can he be the Valley Master? He is so young, how can he be the Valley Master? He is a mortal, not a spiritual being. The position of Valley Master should be given to Zhu Jianye."
After he finished speaking, Mu Chi didn't say anything else. He didn't know what the other party was thinking. He couldn't understand how Mu Chi was thinking. How could a person without any power or influence in the valley, and without a natural spiritual fetus, convince the public? Zhu Jianye was the trend, and Mu Chi would embarrass Ye Musi by doing this.
Besides, Ye Musi knew nothing. He had been spoiled since childhood and no one taught him. He wanted to teach, but Ye Musi always avoided him and alienated him. Several times, he kidnapped people but they still ran away. He couldn't teach him.
Until today he still hasn't figured out what Mu Chi's intention was. Since he passed on the throne, he must have known Ye Mushi's identity. Why didn't he train him well, but instead abandoned him and cared about that alien?
"Dead..." His daughter died.
"She died giving birth to me."
Only today did he find out that his daughter had been dead for more than 30 years.
He had tried to find out where they were over the years, but he couldn't find any. It was as if they had disappeared. It turned out that they had really disappeared.
"Where is he buried?"
"No."
“…”
No one spoke for a long time.
Then He Ju took off the wooden hairpin on Lan Feiyue's head. This was his lover's hairpin. He said it was a gift to his daughter when she got married as a keepsake. Lan Feiyue wanted it for years. Seeing that she liked it, He Ju tacitly allowed her to wear it, thinking that he would give it to her when Yu Mengqing came back. There was also a bracelet.
He Ju looked at the wooden hairpin in her hand, took a deep breath, and took out a pure white jade bracelet wrapped in a handkerchief from her arms. This was the one he had bought for Yu Mengqing, but Yu Mengqing did not take it with him when he left.
Now he handed them all over to Ye Musi.
"Elder He?" Ye Musi was confused. He Ju suddenly pulled his hand, opened her palm, and gave him everything.
"Qingqing is my daughter, and I am your grandfather."
Upon hearing this, Lan Feiyue paused while making tea and poured out the tea.
"I'm sorry, Master. I'll go pack up right away." Then Lan Feiyue got up and left. She had been unable to stay any longer, but she didn't dare to leave. Now she finally had a reason to leave.
Ye Musi and Lu Lishen were equally shocked.
Ye Musi's computer was down for a while, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. It turned out that it was the same whether you had relatives or not.
He said "hmm" lightly and put the things on the table.
"The wooden hairpin was left to your mother by your maternal grandmother, and the bracelet is your mother's. There's no point in letting me use it, so I'll give it to you."
Ye Musi didn't know what to say. After a long while, he finally said, "Do all the elders in the valley know that I am Ye Yuanqing's son?"
"It doesn't matter anymore."
It doesn’t matter what you know!
"What about Aye? Does Aye know too?"
Since the elders in the valley all knew about it, what about Zhu Jianye? Zhu Jianye and him were not playing bad games, and could be said to be good. If he knew everything, then he was the only one who was kept in the dark.
He Ju was silent, then nodded.
"Your father and Zhu Yingyan don't get along. Zhu Yingyan doesn't like you, so he asked him to stay away from you."
Zhu Yingyan disliked Ye Yuanqing, and also disliked Ye Musi. However, he did not expect that his son actually liked Ye Musi so much. He also told Zhu Jianye about Ye Musi's life experience.
Almost every elder in the Elder Hall knew about it. Ye Musi didn't ask and no one mentioned it, so no one said anything. Only occasionally some rumors in the valley would reach Ye Musi's ears. At that time, he didn't know that Ye Yuanqing was his father.
Ye Musi is like a clown, I just realized it today.
"Yeah." He just responded to He Ju's words, just like the previous one.
Lu Lishen stood aside, his hand resting openly on the back of Ye Musi's hand. He didn't know what to say, but in his heart he wanted to comfort Ye Musi.
Ye Musi looked at their touching hands, then looked at Lu Lishen.
"So Aye also knew, but I was the only one who didn't know. I was kept in the dark about everything. Master knew, Aye knew, and all of you knew."
Even though he was the Valley Master, the Elders' Hall had never discussed with him any matters, big or small, in the valley. He only learned about them when he occasionally heard a few words while watching the disciples competing in martial arts, or when he heard Zhu Jianye talk about them while they were having a drink.
Zhu Jianye rarely discussed important matters in the valley with him. Although they often got together, they didn't talk much, just like a pair of silent dinner companions who often ate together. Now thinking about it, was Zhu Jianye spying on him at that time?
Every generation of valley master must know about the affairs and past of Yinyou Valley, but Ye Musi doesn't know. He knows nothing. The Elders' Hall is unwilling to tell him, and He Ju takes the lead in not recognizing him as the valley master.
He pretended not to know, pretended not to care. The grievances accumulated over the years had now become a vast ocean with waves crashing against the shore.
"You are not allowed to participate in the meeting because you..."
"That's enough. No need to say more."
He Ju was interrupted by Ye Musi before she could finish her words.
"I didn't tell you before, and I don't need to tell you now. I don't want to know anything about the past or experiences of Yinyou Valley." Ye Musi said, "I think I'm no longer qualified for this position. Don't you all want Aye to be the Valley Master? I'll abdicate to him when he comes back."
A young man's ambition is always high and high. The more he is doubted and speculated, the more he wants to prove his strength. But Ye Musi is no longer the boy he was yesterday. He is no longer the same as before. Living two lives has worn away his childishness. He has not grown up yet. He cannot handle all problems fairly and impartially like other sect leaders.
