【Chapter 054】Exactly the same
【Chapter 054】Exactly the same
Soon, Ye Yishen and Nangong Chenyu arrived at Ye Xian's study.
As soon as he entered the study, Nangong Chenyu's attention was attracted by the portrait of a woman on the wall of the study.
The women in the portraits are wearing different clothes, in different places, and doing different things. Without exception, the women in the portraits are lifelike and have the same face.
Nangong Chenyu's pupils trembled.
There are turbulent waves in my heart.
Ye Yisheng walked to the desk as usual and called out.
"Father."
Although he seldom came to Ye Xian's study, he was familiar with the portraits on the wall. These portraits were all painted by his father himself, and the women in the portraits are his mothers.
Sometimes my father hated my mother so much that he would burn all the portraits.
Sometimes when my father missed his mother, he would draw her.
Over and over again.
He knew that his father loved his mother to the core. According to my father, my mother is a ray of light in his life, dispelling the darkness in his heart. But my father also hated my mother to the core because she was untrustworthy and did not keep her promises.
Ye Xianqing hummed and turned his gaze to Nangong Chenyu. Just by looking at it, he was stunned. Who is that handsome young man not far away?
"He is?"
Following Ye Xian's gaze, Ye Yishen turned around and found that after Nangong Chenyu entered the room, he just stood there without moving, looking at the portraits in the room.
"He is the Second Young Master Nangong."
After answering, Ye Yisheng walked back to Nangong Chenyu and called out softly, "Second Young Master Nangong."
Nangong Chenyu came back to his senses, suppressed the shock in his eyes, and nodded to Ye Yishen. Then he looked at Ye Xian and bowed as a junior.
He said in a mysterious way: "My son-in-law greets my father-in-law."
After saying this, he finally realized what he had said. But the words had been spoken and naturally could not be taken back, so he could only pretend to be calm.
Before Ye Xian could recover from the fact that Nangong Chenyu had transformed from a fat man into a handsome young doctor, he heard Nangong Chenyu call him father-in-law.
He looked at Ye Yishen in surprise, asking: What's going on?
Ye Yisheng was also a little confused, but that didn't stop him from winking at Ye Xian.
Ye Xian didn't understand what his son wanted to say. Following Nangong Chenyu's words, he pointed to a chair beside him and said, "My son-in-law, no need to be polite. Sit here."
The word "son-in-law" made Nangong Chen Yulei feel very excited. But since he was the one who started it, he could only bite the bullet and smile at Ye Xian and sit down as he was told.
A servant came in immediately and served tea.
"I'll call you Chenyu from now on!" Ye Xian started chatting with Nangong Chenyu about family matters: "Chenyu, have you gotten used to living in the Ye Mansion during this time?"
"I'm used to it. The Ye Mansion is very good." Nangong Chenyu replied.
Then the two of them asked and answered questions. At first, both sides' attitudes were a little distant, but gradually they became familiar with each other.
The two chatted from Ye Mansion to Nangong Mansion, from mortals to cultivators. Half an hour later, the two had become close friends.
Ye Yisheng watched this miraculous development and could not say a word.
Suddenly, Nangong Chenyu pointed at the portraits on the wall and asked, "Father-in-law, did you draw all these portraits?"
Ye Yishen's scalp tightened. Ever since his mother did not come back as promised at the agreed time, his father did not like others mentioning his mother in front of him.
Although he was only five years old when his mother left, he still has a deep memory of it. Over the years, he occasionally dreamed of the scene when his mother left.
It was a nice day with not a cloud in the sky.
His mother held his hand and spoke in an especially gentle tone: "Yisheng, I have to leave for a while because of something. You must listen to your father at home and help him take good care of your brothers and sisters. I will be back to pick you up soon."
Then the mother kissed him on the forehead and left the room without looking back.
He ran out of the room crying, calling out, "Mom, don't go, don't go, don't leave us..."
But when he ran to the yard, he saw only his father standing there, looking lonely and desolate, and his mother was nowhere to be seen.
Regardless of the scorching summer sun burning on his body, my father stood in the yard like a stone sculpture, motionless. No matter how he called out or shook him, his father seemed unable to hear or sense anything.
At night, heavy rain poured down.
He stood outside under the eaves with his younger brother and sister, calling his father non-stop. Unfortunately, the rain was so heavy that the voices of the three siblings were drowned out by the sound of the rain.
The servants stopped them from rushing into the rain. They just watched their father get soaked by the rain and finally fainted in the yard.
Then the servants carried my father back to his room.
Three days later, his father woke up and saw him standing by his bed with his younger brother and sister. The three brothers and sisters all had red eyes, and tears were about to fall. The father finally sighed and reached out to touch their heads one by one.
From then on, their father began to handle business affairs in an orderly manner and took care of the three siblings wholeheartedly.
Although his father did not appear to be abnormal on the surface, he knew that he kept his longing for his mother deep in his heart.
To Ye Yishen's surprise, Ye Xian was not angry when he heard Nangong Chenyu's question. Ye Xian stood up and took Nangong Chenyu's hand and introduced him to the portraits one by one.
Ye Yisheng had a complicated look in his eyes. This bizarre development made him a little confused. Seeing that there was really no room for him to show his abilities, he asked Xiaoshun to bring the account book and started to reconcile the accounts.
"I drew these when I had nothing to do. The person in the portrait is my wife. Chen Yu, look at this one. This is the third time I saw Yue'er..."
Although it is only a side view, it can be seen that the woman in the portrait is very beautiful. She is reaching out to pick peaches.
Ye Xian looked at the woman in the painting with gentle and affectionate eyes.
Nangong Chenyu was confused. Ye Xian’s wife looked exactly like his master.
Is it a coincidence, an accident, or a human arrangement?
Could Ye Xian’s wife be his master?
in the case of.
Then it was not an accident that he came here after overcoming the tribulation.
So was the person who allowed him to come here his master? If so, what is Master’s purpose? Let him change the original fate of his master and others? But why did the master never say a single word to him until he ascended to heaven?
If it was someone else who let him come here, then what was the other person's purpose?
Nangong Chenyu’s doubts came one after another.
Ye Xian continued to introduce himself.
Nangong Chenyu was forced to listen to the love story between Ye Xian and his wife.
After Ye Xian finished speaking, Nangong Chenyu asked directly: "Father-in-law also wants to become a cultivator?"
Ye Xian waved his hand, took off the ring on his finger and handed it to Nangong Chenyu: "Chenyu, can you help me see if this ring is a treasure?"
With just one glance, Nangong Chenyu discovered that the material used to refine this ring was actually the same as that used for the space ring on his finger.
He did not reach out to take it, but told the truth: "This is a space ring, and it is of a fairly high level. After recognizing its master, the ring can make you invisible when worn on your finger."
Ye Xian immediately asked: "How do I use it?"
Nangong Chenyu explained: "It can be used once it recognizes its master. Usually, treasures only need a drop of blood to recognize their master, and some special treasures need to be marked with a divine consciousness mark."
Ye Xian handed the ring to Ye Yisheng: "Yisheng, try to recognize the master."
Ye Yisheng: "Father, you must give it to me. If I acknowledge the master, only I can use it."
"Stop talking nonsense. Just recognize your master when I ask you to." As he said that, Ye Xian took out a dagger from his sleeve and placed it on the table.
"No need for a dagger."
Ye Yishen slid the fingertips of his right hand across the fingers of his left hand. A white light flashed and a drop of red blood flowed out from the fingers of his left hand. He immediately caught it with the ring.
The blood fell onto the ring and could be seen being absorbed by the ring with the naked eye.
The next moment, Ye Yisheng felt a connection between himself and the ring. According to the method that Nangong Chenyu had told him before, he put his spiritual consciousness into the ring.
Soon, a large space appeared in his mind. It was empty, except for a few things in a small space.
When Ye Yishen withdrew his spiritual sense, he saw his father staring at him.
"How is it?" Ye Xian asked.
"It's a space ring with a very large area, and there are several things inside." After saying that, Ye Yishen's mind moved, and a guqin appeared on the table in front of him.
Seeing the guqin suddenly appear, Ye Xian was stunned for a moment. I immediately understood what the space ring was used for.
Ye Yishen simply moved out all the things in the space ring, and the table, which was not big to begin with, was suddenly filled up.
"Second Young Master Nangong, do you recognize these things?"
Ye Xian: “…” What a stupid son.
Nangong Chenyu's eyes swept over the things on the table one by one, and being knowledgeable, he did not show the slightest strange expression. However, with his experience, there were two things he didn't know.
He pointed at a few jade slips and said, "These jade slips should contain cultivation-related skills, spells, martial arts, etc. As long as you put the jade slip on your forehead, you can read the contents of the jade slip."
Hearing him say this, Ye Xian immediately reached out and picked up a jade slip and placed it on his forehead.
Nangong Chenyu's mouth twitched slightly.
Ye Xian put down the jade slip and looked at Nangong Chenyu with a questioning look on his face: "Chenyu, didn't you say that if you put the jade slip on your forehead, you can read its contents? Why can't I see anything?"
Nangong Chenyu held his forehead and said, "Only cultivators can read it."
Ye Xian put down the jade slip: "Why didn't you say so earlier."
Nangong Chenyu: “…”
Ye Yisheng pointed at the things next to the jade slip and asked Nangong Chenyu: "What are these?"
"It's a very high-grade fairy crystal, which is the currency of the fairy world and can also be used for cultivation." Nangong Chenyu had the good fortune to see low-grade fairy crystals in the Xuanwu Realm, but the color was not as crystal clear as the fairy crystals on the table.
Ye Xian and Ye Yisheng looked at each other. Could it be that their wives (mothers) were immortals?
Ye Yisheng pointed to three round pieces of white jade carved with peach blossoms and asked, "What are these pieces of white jade?"
Nangong Chenyu picked up one of the white jades and examined it carefully before saying, "These white jades are magical treasures that can hide one's cultivation."
Putting down the white jade, Nangong Chenyu picked up a palm-sized object with a strange shape, looked at it, and said, "I don't recognize this thing."
After saying that, he picked up other things to look at.
“I don’t know this one either.”
Finally, he pointed to the guqin on the table and said, "This guqin is a fairy instrument."
Ye Xian had seen his wife play this guqin before, and at that time he only thought the sound was pleasant. But I didn't expect that the seemingly ordinary guqin was actually a magical instrument.
Although he didn't know what the magic weapon was, its name must be very impressive.
But he also asked Nangong Chenyu: "What is a fairy weapon?"
Nangong Chenyu explained: "Generally speaking, the weapons used by cultivators are called magic weapons, while the weapons used by immortals are called immortal weapons."
Ye Xian and Ye Yisheng looked at each other again, and this time, they were more convinced that their wife (mother) was an immortal.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Xian said, "Chen Yu, do you see if there is anything you can use among these things? If so, feel free to take it."
Nangong Chenyu could not guess what Ye Xian was thinking, so he declined politely: "Thank you for your kindness, father-in-law, but these things are useless to me."
"Is it really useless?" Ye Xian asked again worriedly.
"Don't worry, father-in-law. These things are really useless to me, and I won't kill people for treasures." Nangong Chenyu simply made it clear.
Ye Xian smiled awkwardly: "I have something I want to ask you, please choose something as a reward."
Nangong Chenyu glanced at the things on the table, and finally took two out of the dozen immortal crystals: "Then I want two immortal crystals. If you have anything to ask, just let me know. If it is something within my ability, I will definitely not postpone it."
Seeing that Nangong Chenyu took two fairy crystals, Ye Xian felt that the fairy crystals should be useful to Nangong Chenyu. He kept two pieces and stuffed the rest of the fairy crystals into Nangong Chenyu's hands.
Then he said to Ye Yisheng: "Yisheng, put away the things on the table and go out. I have something to say to Chen Yu."
Ye Yisheng obediently put the things into the space ring, but he sat there without moving: "You guys talk about your things, I'll check the account books, and I promise not to eavesdrop."
"You won't eavesdrop when you're sitting there, but you will listen openly." Ye Xian pulled Ye Yisheng and said unhappily, "Get out now."
The despised Ye Yisheng: "..."
After Ye Yisheng left, Ye Xiancai said, "Yisheng told me about your agreement with him. I wonder what your plans are when you go to Lingyuan Continent?"
"I should find a reliable big force to join." Nangong Chenyu knew too well that it was not easy to survive as a solo cultivator, and becoming a disciple of a sect would bring many conveniences.
Ye Xian: "I would like to trouble you to bring Yisheng with you when you join the big power."
Nangong Chenyu didn't expect Ye Xian's request would be this: "Won't you go to Lingyuan Continent together?"
Ye Xian smiled bitterly and said, "I don't have spiritual roots, so I can't practice. If I go to Lingyuan Continent, I will only become a burden to Yisheng. When Yisheng's cultivation level is higher, I will come back to pick up Yuncheng and Xiaoxin."
Nangong Chenyu was indeed a little surprised.
You know, Ye Yisheng has spiritual roots. He had taken Ye Yuncheng's pulse before and knew that Ye Yuncheng also had spiritual roots. Both brothers have spiritual roots, and as their father, it is very unlikely that Ye Xian does not have spiritual roots.
This reminded him of the incident where Ye Yisheng’s spiritual roots had been dug out. Could it be that Ye Xian’s spiritual roots had also been dug out?
"Father-in-law, I want to personally check whether you have spiritual roots. Is that possible?"
