【Chapter 153】Grandfather's Current Situation
"It can be said that no one in the Ye Mansion is a match for the Second Ancestor now."
At this point, the Fourth Elder looked at Ye Yisheng and said, "Based on the Second Ancestor's attitude towards you before, he shouldn't have taken the initiative to propose to record your name in the family tree."
"But he just mentioned it. He also said that he wanted to open an ancestral hall, and then let the elders give me a gift." Ye Yisheng said.
The fourth elder was full of surprise: "Did the second ancestor really say that he wanted to open an ancestral hall?"
Ye Yisheng nodded: "Yes, he said it himself."
The fourth elder just found it incredible.
If the Second Ancestor values Ye Yishen, it is reasonable to open the ancestral hall and let the elders of the clan witness the record when he is included in the family tree.
But when the competition was over, the second old ancestor wanted to punish Ye Yisheng to kneel in the ancestral hall for no reason. As a result, Ye Yishen did not return to the Ye Mansion at all, and the second old ancestor’s plan failed.
Can this be regarded as important?
It's almost the same as just disliking it.
Now that Ye Yishen has returned to the Ye Mansion, it would be good enough if the second ancestor did not find an excuse to punish Ye Yishen. The sudden attention paid to him by the Second Elder must be due to some ulterior motive.
Thinking of this, the fourth elder said to the two of them, "Why don't you go back to Yunjue Palace?"
Now that he was here, Ye Yisheng naturally couldn't just leave like that: "The reason we returned to the Ye Mansion was because we received a message that our grandfather was seriously injured."
The fourth elder slapped his forehead and said, "Look at me, I forget about the other thing when I talk about this. I will go to the place where the master is in seclusion now."
Having said that, he stood up again.
"Fourth Elder, aren't you afraid of going and never coming back?" Nangong Chenyu said dimly.
The Fourth Elder who was about to leave took back his foot and thought for a moment before saying, "Do you suspect that the person who sent the message was the Second Ancestor?"
After saying this, he felt something was wrong: "But can't each person's sound transmission jade slip only be used by that person?"
Nangong Chenyu reminded: "Ordinary people naturally cannot use other people's sound transmission jade slips, but what if the other party is a weapon refiner who can refine sound transmission jade slips?"
The fourth elder was shocked: "You mean to say that a weapon refiner can use someone else's sound transmission jade slip?"
Nangong Chenyu was very surprised: "You didn't know about this."
Fourth Elder: I suddenly feel that I am not as knowledgeable as the younger ones.
Thinking of something, the Fourth Elder sat down and said, "But the Second Ancestor is not a weapon refiner."
Nangong Chenyu asked back: "How can you be sure that he is not?"
The fourth elder opened his mouth, wanting to say that everyone in the Ye family knew that the second ancestor was not a weapon refiner. But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them. After all, he was not with the Second Ancestor all the time. The only one who truly knows whether the Second Ancestor can refine weapons is the Second Ancestor himself.
"So what are your plans next?" The fourth elder changed the subject.
Ye Yisheng stated their purpose: "We want to go and see for ourselves the place where our grandfather was in seclusion."
The Fourth Elder had no say in the matter and could only remain silent.
"Ye Chenyuan is my grandfather. The purpose of our return to the Ye Mansion is just to confirm whether he is safe." Ye Yisheng looked at the Fourth Elder and his tone became cold: "Fourth Elder really wants to stick to the rules and ignore the life and death of my grandfather."
The fourth elder was speechless. If he didn't help the two, it would be like he didn't care about the life and death of the patriarch.
Nangong Chenyu spoke at the right time: "Are the First Elder and the Second Elder okay?"
The fourth elder lamented, "They are in seclusion to heal their wounds just like our ancestor. When our ancestor was going through the tribulation, they were protecting him, but they were severely injured by the people who attacked him."
Ye Yisheng suddenly said: "Is it possible that the person who attacked the ancestor was hired by the second ancestor?"
This may sound like nonsense, but when the Fourth Elder thought about it carefully, he felt that it was possible. At that time, there were only three people who knew where the ancestor was undergoing the tribulation, two of whom were seriously injured, and there was a high possibility that the second ancestor betrayed him.
Seeing that the Fourth Elder looked thoughtful, Nangong Chenyu continued, "Although he will be seriously injured after going through the thunder tribulation, the ancestor has at least entered the Void Refinement Stage. The one who can hurt the ancestor must be at least at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage."
Qi Yu City is not big, and there are not many people who have reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage.
Just like that, Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yisheng talked to each other and confused the Fourth Elder's mind. Finally, he gave his elder token to the two of them in a daze.
It was only when he returned to his residence that the Fourth Elder came to his senses and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
However, the elder token had already been given out, and he had no intention of taking it back. The main thing is that according to their analysis, his every move is now under the surveillance of the second ancestor.
That night.
The Ye Mansion was shrouded in darkness and silence.
Two Nascent Soul stage spiritual consciousnesses were staring at Biluo Garden, as if they were waiting for the people in the courtyard to leave.
Suddenly, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the Biluo Garden and went straight to the depths of the Ye Mansion. The owners of the two spiritual consciousnesses were immediately energized and followed closely. The black shadow was extremely fast, like a flash of lightning cutting through the night sky.
Every time the two Yuanying stage cultivators who were chasing the black shadow were about to lose it, the black shadow would inadvertently flash for a moment, allowing the two to catch up.
Feeling that the person who was staring at Biluoyuan had left, Nangong Chenyu called Ye Yishen and headed towards the southeast of Ye Mansion.
Soon, the two came to a wall.
In order to avoid attracting attention, the Ye family only allowed one member of the Ye family in the Nascent Soul stage to guard here, and he lived in the room next door.
Generally, as long as someone appears nearby, his spiritual sense will immediately lock onto that person until the other person leaves. But at this moment he was lying on the bed, snoring.
The culprit who made him sleep was Nangong Chenyu.
Just in case, Nangong Chenyu set up a barrier to isolate everything.
Ye Yishen took out the elder tokens of the four elders.
The next moment, the token emitted a white light. After receiving the white light, the wall twisted and a vortex appeared in the middle.
Not sensing any danger, the two jumped into the whirlpool.
As soon as they entered the vortex, they felt a flash before their eyes, followed by a strong spiritual energy blowing in their faces.
"Who are you?"
A clear and pleasant female voice rang in their ears. Looking carefully, they saw a young female cultivator dressed in a very old-fashioned way.
The other party was obviously the Tenth Elder Ye Minghui mentioned by the Fourth Elder. Because of the injury, her intelligence is only that of a four or five year old. After being cheated out of her spiritual stones many times when she went out, her family sent her here to guard the place.
"We are the new elders of the family." Ye Yisheng made up a lie: "This is the food that the Fourth Elder asked me to bring you."
As he said that, he took out a roast chicken and handed it to the other person.
"Gudong~" Ye Minghui swallowed her saliva as she saw the roast chicken. She grabbed the roast chicken, tore off a chicken leg and started to eat it.
Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen looked at each other and realized that this Tenth Elder was indeed easy to deal with.
In the darkness, the two could clearly see that except for the mountain where they were standing, the rest was covered in white fog. It turns out that the so-called back mountain is actually a small secret place.
According to the map given by the Fourth Elder, the two went directly to the cave where Ye Chenyuan was in seclusion.
Soon the two of them arrived outside the cave where Ye Chenyuan was practicing. The cave was shrouded in a barrier, and the two felt Ye Chenyuan's breath through the barrier. They couldn't help but look at each other, and they all felt that Ye Chenyuan was most likely in the cave.
Nangong Chenyu immediately released his spiritual sense to explore into the cave. Only after seeing the situation inside the cave clearly did he withdrew his spiritual sense.
"Grandfather is not in the cave. And there are no signs of fighting in the cave."
After thinking for a while, Ye Yisheng said, "Let's go to the second ancestor's cave to take a look."
Nangong Chenyu nodded: "That's exactly what I meant."
The two of them immediately walked towards the cave where Patriarch Ye Er was in seclusion.
The distance is not very far.
The cave of Patriarch Ye Er was also shrouded in a barrier, and the person who set up the barrier was Patriarch Ye Er himself.
Nangong Chenyu's spiritual consciousness silently passed through the barrier and spread into the cave. Soon, he saw Ye Chenyuan chained in one of the training rooms.
If he was not mistaken, the iron chain that locked Ye Chenyuan was made of the same material as that used to refine the Forbidden Spirit Ring. In other words, Ye Chenyuan should not be able to use spiritual energy.
But at this time, spiritual energy was lingering around Ye Chenyuan, and spiritual energy kept drilling into Ye Chenyuan's body.
Obviously the chains are useless to Ye Chenyuan.
In just three months, Ye Chenyuan's cultivation level had actually upgraded from the middle stage of the Nascent Soul to the peak of the Nascent Soul. Judging from Ye Chenyuan's aura, he will be able to break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage in no time.
The speed of cultivation is comparable to riding a rocket.
Nangong Chenyu was amazed by what he saw.
In fact, with Ye Chenyuan's cultivation aptitude, he should have broken through to the Spirit Transformation Stage long ago. But controlled by the plot, Ye Chenyuan's cultivation always remained in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
If Nangong Chenyu had not appeared, Ye Chenyuan would have been in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul until his death. Having broken free from the plot and freed from the shackles, Ye Chenyuan's cultivation speed increased by leaps and bounds with his accumulated experience.
Nangong Chenyu withdrew his spiritual sense with a strange expression.
Ye Yisheng couldn't wait to ask: "Ayu, is grandpa in there?"
“Yes.” Nangong Chenyu described what he saw.
After hearing this, Ye Yisheng was stunned into silence.
Judging from Ye Chenyuan's current situation, their worries seemed a bit unnecessary. As long as Patriarch Ye Er doesn’t discover Ye Chenyuan’s situation, Ye Chenyuan will break through the Spirit Transformation Stage soon and he will be able to launch a Jedi counterattack and kill Ye Chenyuan.
"Given Grandfather's current condition, he should not be disturbed." Nangong Chenyu took out a stone sculpture of a demon beast in the Void Refinement Stage: "I will leave a stone sculpture of a demon beast here to protect Grandfather."
"Ayu, thank you."
"No need to thank me." Nangong Chenyu reached out and rubbed Ye Yisheng's head: "Let's talk about it after we get out."
"Um."
When the two returned to where they came in, they saw Ye Minghui lying on the ground holding a half-eaten roast chicken.
The two men came forward, and Nangong Chenyu erased her memory of having seen them.
Ye Yishen took the uneaten roast chicken from her hand and performed a cleansing spell on her. And use spiritual energy to dispel the smell of roast chicken lingering in the air.
Before leaving, Nangong Chenyu took out a porcelain bottle and placed it under her nose, letting her smell it.
Not long after the two left, Ye Minghui slowly opened her eyes. She reached out and patted her head, muttering, "Why did I fall asleep here?"
-
The two Yuanying stage people who had been chasing the black shadow across most of the Ye Mansion realized belatedly that they might have been lured away from the mountain. One person continued to chase the black shadow, while the other immediately went back to Biluoyuan to check.
Not long after Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen returned to Biluo Garden, they were swept over by a familiar Nascent Soul consciousness.
