Chapter 140 [Spirit Pearl] His Father Died (One More Chapter)
"Valley Master." He Ju frowned slightly. What he wanted to say was that he was not allowed to participate in the discussion because he felt guilty. The more he interacted with Ye Musi, the more he would no longer be the ordinary disciple who could be innocent and carefree in the past. Besides, he was almost killed by his traitorous disciple.
He felt heartbroken, although he never said it, but he and Ye Musi were connected by blood, and he also wanted to love Ye Musi. Otherwise, why did he not deal with the incest between Ye Musi and Lu Lishen? Was it really because he identified Lu Lishen as a spiritual pearl at that time?
At that time, Ye Musi brought up such a ridiculous thing. Lu Lishen was Lingzhu, and he also wanted to see what Ye Musi would do, so he turned a blind eye and let it go.
If it were someone else, he would definitely punish them severely.
"I am selfish and I don't deserve the place in your hearts." Ye Musi said seriously. He could no longer make the right choice rationally. His heart was all on Lu Lishen. No matter whether what Lu Lishen did was right or wrong, he would side with him. He could not sit in this position.
"It's my fault." In the end, He Ju lowered her head. Since she knew Ye Musi was the Spirit Pearl, then this position naturally belonged to Ye Musi. It was they who allowed Ye Musi to become like this, making him not behave like a Valley Master. He was wrong.
For the sake of public interest, he did not stop Ye Musi and Ji Changan from getting closer in time. He thought that if Ye Musi and Ji Changan got closer, they might also get closer to him. He did not expect that he almost regretted it.
For selfish reasons, he was unable to take care of his grandson. It was the first few years after Yu Mengqing left. He was like a sullen old father, refusing to acknowledge Ye Musi. He wanted Yu Mengqing to come and give him an explanation in person, but he didn't expect...
Missed so many years.
"What did you do wrong?" Ye Musi asked, and then answered for him, his tone sounding like a complaint, "You are not wrong. You have been the Valley Master for so many years, so you naturally know how to make decisions. I don't want to sit in this position. I am tired after all these years."
He Ju still wanted to try to save the relationship, but then she thought about how tired Ye Musi had become over the years. Ye Musi had appeared relaxed and at ease, and nothing in the valley was entrusted to him. Even if there were any visiting cards or invitations, they would first be handed over to the Elders' Hall for processing, and then a decision would be made after filtering, and then Ye Musi would be notified.
What would the disciples in the valley think if they knew about this? Ye Musi was a figurehead without substance, and the Elders Hall didn't take him seriously.
Ye Musi had considered seizing power, but his only real use was training the next generation of Valley Masters. Coincidentally, his apprentice was Lu Lishen, a natural-born spirit. The Elders had high hopes for him and their expectations of him. In his previous life, he had also shattered these hopes and expectations. When he learned that Lu Lishen was nearly possessed, he panicked. He hurriedly took Lu Lishen to the West Sea to search for the Mermaid Pearl, but Lu Lishen was still possessed by him, and he was powerless to stop him.
He was like a delicate flower at room temperature, deprived of its beautiful environment. He was exposed alone in the merciless wind and could not do anything well.
He can't do anything well, but Zhu Jianye can do everything well.
From childhood to adulthood, there were no shortage of instances of them being compared. In fact, when they were little, Ye Musi could play with Zhu Jianye whenever he wanted, but he didn't want to. He didn't want to be compared. He was like a coward, hiding in his warm bed, not daring to poke his head out. He didn't know what these unreasonable comparisons were for, nor did he know why they were happening. He really wanted to make friends, and after being compared like this, no one would want to play with a clumsy person.
He was probably the most rebellious kid in the valley, or so he thought. He skipped classes, didn't practice swordplay, snuck out to play, and even learned forbidden techniques. He did everything bad, and was punished for it. He tried to attract attention, but was met with even colder stares.
Everyone thinks he is a bad boy, but he knows clearly in his heart that he is not bad and he can learn well.
He was defined in this way, so that I no longer had any illusions about him. I didn't mean to have any hope, because he was a bad boy.
"The Valley Master is tired, so just take a rest." He Ju said after a long time, looking at Ye Musi and Lu Lishen looking at each other, with mixed feelings in her heart.
Ye Musi and Lu Lishen look very much like Yu Mengqing and Ye Yuanqing.
Ye Musi pushed the wooden hairpin and jade bracelet back to He Ju.
"Although my mother gave birth to me, she didn't raise me, so the things shouldn't be given to me. Elder He, please keep them."
He Ju felt that Ye Musi was clearly calling her "Elder He" with respect, but was more distant from her than ever when he kept calling her "Elder He".
He Ju silently put the things away, knowing that Ye Musi was unwilling to recognize him. Well, it had been so long, if he wanted to recognize him, he would have done so long ago.
"Where is the master of ceremonies' son?" someone suddenly shouted outside the room.
Ye Yuanqing is not in the town all year round, and only comes back to preside over the Lantern Festival every year. They don’t know the master of ceremonies’ name, so they can only call him “master of ceremonies”.
"Hurry! Take me to see the MC's son! He's dying!"
There was a loud shouting outside the room, which made Ye Musi feel inexplicably nervous.
Lu Lishen stood up and opened the door.
The man who called out saw the son of the miracle doctor open the door and hurried over.
"Son of the miracle doctor, please let me see the MC's son. Human life is at stake!!"
Lu Lishen turned sideways, and Ye Musi saw that the person coming was an ordinary hunter.
When the hunter saw Ye Musi, he recognized him at a glance because he had seen him at the lantern festival or because of his face that looked very similar to the master of ceremonies.
"Oh no, the emcee is going to die!"
Ye Musi stood up suddenly.
Ye Yuanqing just set out for the human palace yesterday, how come he died today?
He Ju also stood up.
"It's at my house! The person is at my house!"
"Excuse me, lead the way."
Ye Musi followed the hunter anxiously, and He Ju and Lu Lishen followed behind him.
Ye Musi's heartbeat was like a drum, and every step he took felt like walking on clouds, light and unreal. He couldn't believe it. He had just said goodbye to his father, Ye Yuanqing, yesterday, and today he heard such tragic news.
His heart was beating like a drum, and every step felt like walking on clouds, light and unreal, yet his steps were fast, and he almost passed his guide several times. He couldn't believe it. Ye Yuanqing had just said goodbye to him yesterday, and a few days later he heard such bad news.
They followed the hunter through the winding mountain road and finally arrived in front of a simple wooden house. A suppressed cough came from the house, and Ye Musi's heart tightened. He quickened his pace and almost rushed into the house.
Inside the room, Ye Yuanqing was lying on the bed, his face pale and his hands shriveled as if all the life had been sucked out of them. It was obviously Ji Changan's work.
At this moment, Ye Musi didn't know what to do. He looked at Ye Yuanqing like this and knew that the person lying on the bed was his father. He was panicked and at a loss.
"Dad..." Ye Musi called out softly and tentatively.
Ye Yuanqing heard the noise, opened his eyes and wanted to reach out to grab Ye Musi.
Ye Musi grabbed Ye Yuanqing's hand.
"Did it scare you?"
"No..." His voice was inexplicably choked, "It was Ji Changan, he killed you..."
Ye Yuanqing did not answer. It was Ji Changan who started the fight. He was surprised to see Ji Changan, but after a brief reminisce, he realized that Ji Changan was here to kill him, and they drew their swords against each other.
Ye Yuanqing didn't understand why Ji Changan did this. He and Ji Changan had only been together for a few months, and then he left Yinyou Valley with Yu Mengqing. He was very surprised that his junior brother had become like this. Although they fought, he did not kill him.
Ji Changan was determined to kill him. He didn't know what strange magic the other party had practiced to suck away all his vitality. He now looked like a mummy, but even though he was just a skeleton, one could still see his former charm.
Ye Yuanqing took out the Panlong Jade from somewhere and handed it to Ye Musi.
"Go to the palace and look for the luminous beads."
"Okay..." Ye Musi burst into tears.
When He Ju saw his former apprentice, his heart trembled. He hadn't seen him for many years, and when he met him again, he found that he was about to die.
Ye Yuanqing also saw He Ju.
"Master is here. I'm sorry I can't pay my respects." He really didn't have the strength left.
"Yuanqing, how did you become like this!" He Ju felt distressed. His daughter died, and now Ye Yuanqing was also going to die. Things happened too suddenly, and he still found it hard to accept, let alone Ye Musi... His eyes fell on Ye Mu, feeling distressed and more guilty. If he had not strongly opposed Ye Yuanqing and Yu Mengqing being together, they would not have left Yinyou Valley, and they would not have died. Ye Musi would still be able to be his son.
Ye Yuanqing had used up all his strength. He didn't have the energy to answer He Ju. As soon as he opened his mouth, his hands dropped down.
"father!!"
Ye Musi's father died, and he still hasn't gotten along with his father. Ye Yuanqing hasn't taken him to visit his mother yet! He still doesn't know where his mother is...
Why are they all dead? Why...
They had just met for a short time, and he really became an orphan...
"father……"
Ye Musi tightly grasped the Panlong Jade in his hand and found a secluded place to bury Ye Yuanqing.
The incident happened so suddenly that no one was prepared. When Lan Feiyue found out, she was also very surprised.
Lan Feiyue looked at the tombstone and then at He Ju.
"Master, don't be sad."
Although Lan Feiyue had never seen Ye Yuanqing in Yinyou Valley, she knew that Ye Yuanqing was He Ju's favorite student and the most promising one among all his disciples, unmatched by anyone.
Among the four apprentices, it can be said that three of them like to read storybooks, one likes to get into trouble the most, and is also the most obedient one.
Seeing that He Ju didn't say anything, Lan Feiyue turned around to comfort Ye Musi.
"Valley Master, I'm so sorry."
Ye Musi did not say anything, which made Lan Feiyue feel a little embarrassed. Lan Feiyue did not like Ye Yuanqing because she was the least talented among the four disciples, but he had never offended her, so she had to give him some face.
"Valley Master, does this mean the murderer has already made up his mind?" Hua Lingzhi asked softly.
"The Ninth King of the Underworld, Ji Changan."
