[Chapter 154] Pitting the Second Ancestor
[Chapter 154] Pitting the Second Ancestor
The next morning.
As soon as Patriarch Ye Er returned to the Ye Mansion, more than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators came to his residence. He sat upright in the main seat in the hall, and more than a dozen people knelt on one knee in front of him.
After taking a sip of tea, he spoke: "Did anyone in the Ye Mansion behave abnormally last night?"
Except for the two people who were monitoring Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yisheng, everyone else replied in unison: "No."
Patriarch Ye Er waved his hand to signal them to go down, leaving only two people to monitor Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yisheng.
"Go ahead."
The two looked at each other and began to tell each other what happened last night.
"Can you see the shadow clearly?"
"No." The two men lowered their heads, fearing that Elder Ye Er would think they were useless and punish them.
Elder Ye Er frowned and asked, "Besides the Fourth Elder, has anyone else entered the Biluo Garden?"
"Yesterday evening, a maid delivering food entered Biluo Garden."
Not getting a satisfactory answer, Elder Ye Er's face looked very ugly. He waved his hand, signaling the two to go down.
The two men retreated with their lives intact.
Biluo Garden.
Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen had just finished their breakfast when someone triggered the formation outside the courtyard at the right moment.
The two men arrived at the gate of the courtyard and, as expected, saw Elder Ye Er.
After all, he was an elder, so before they fell out, Ye Yisheng showed respect and performed the ceremony of a junior: "Second Elder, please come in."
Compared to Ye Yisheng, Nangong Chenyu was much more casual: "Second Elder, good morning! You came here so early, are you here to give us our monthly salary?"
Sitting down in the courtyard, Elder Ye Er smiled gently at the two of them: "There is no rush for the monthly salary. I came here to tell you that the ancestral hall will be open in five days. Once Yisheng's name is recorded in the family tree, you can go to the material hall to collect your monthly salary."
Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yisheng both knew that the five days later was just an excuse. It was obvious that the second ancestor Ye did not want to give them a monthly salary.
"Why do we have to wait five days? Can't we wait today?" Ye Yisheng said in embarrassment, "We came back this time because we received a message three months ago that Grandfather was seriously injured. Now that we are sure that Grandfather is just in seclusion, we plan to return to Yunjue Palace immediately."
He wanted to retreat in order to advance. He didn't believe that the second ancestor Ye would dare not give him a monthly salary.
Upon hearing that the two were about to leave, a sinister look flashed across Elder Ye Er's eyes.
"As soon as you came back yesterday, I asked someone to calculate the nearest auspicious day to be five days later. This morning I told the clan members that I would open the ancestral hall to enter you in the family tree. Now many clan members are rushing back, and they are looking forward to seeing you in five days."
Ye Yishen didn't expect that the second ancestor Ye didn't mention the issue of monthly salary, but instead used his clansmen to pressure him.
Unfortunately, Elder Ye Er made a wrong calculation.
He didn't grow up here and has no feelings for the Ye family here.
"The same will be true the next time I return to the Ye Mansion to meet the elders of the clan. Besides, most of the clan members have already met me during the competition three months ago."
Seeing that Ye Yisheng refused to listen, Elder Ye Er was very annoyed. He compromised and said, "I will have someone calculate your family's monthly salary for these years. Do you think you can stay a few more days before leaving?"
If it weren't for the subsequent plan, he could have forced the two to stay, instead of coaxing them in a nice way.
However, he didn't know that after he set this precedent, he would have to retreat again and again.
Ye Yisheng changed his insistence and said, "Last time, we came suddenly and left in a hurry. When we get our monthly salary, we can go sightseeing in Qiyu City."
This is not leaving.
Elder Ye Er secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said something else: "Although fighting is not allowed in the city, you won the competition before and offended other families. Just in case, I will send two people to protect you."
He didn't give the two people a chance to refuse. He stretched out his hand and immediately two Nascent Soul cultivators appeared behind him.
"From today on, you two are responsible for the safety of Yisheng and Nangong. If anything happens to Yisheng and Nangong, you two will die."
"yes."
After they answered, they disappeared.
Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yisheng: "..."
Apparently, Elder Ye Er was afraid that they would run away, so he specifically asked two people to watch over them.
If they really want to leave, even a few more Nascent Soul cultivators won't be able to stop them. Therefore, the two of them did not care that Patriarch Ye Er sent people to "protect" them along the way.
Ye Yisheng thanked him politely: "Thank you, Second Ancestor."
The second ancestor of the Ye family waved his hand and said, "You are a direct disciple of the Ye family, so you should have a protector."
Thinking of something, he added, "By the way, a dark figure ran out of your yard last night. Did you know that?"
"This should be the one the Second Ancestor was talking about." Nangong Chenyu picked up the white tiger squatting beside him.
Looking at the cat-like white tiger, Elder Ye Er didn't see anything special about it. He just thought it was just an ordinary cat.
The White Tiger concealed its aura and level, so Nangong Chenyu naturally knew that Patriarch Ye Er couldn't see anything.
He took the initiative to say, "Last night, when it ran out of the Biluo Garden, it found two Nascent Soul cultivators following it. It thought they were playing with it, so it ran around the Ye Mansion a few times."
Patriarch Ye Er stared at the white tiger closely, as if he wanted to see through it. Unfortunately, no matter how he looked at it, in his eyes, Baihu was just an ordinary cat.
"Can you show it to me?"
"Of course..." No.
Before Nangong Chenyu could finish the last two words, Baihu ran into the house. Nangong Chenyu spread his hands towards the Second Patriarch Ye: "It doesn't like strangers to touch it."
After seeing with his own eyes that the White Tiger's speed was comparable to that of a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator, Elder Ye Er finally understood why the two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators he sent out were fooled.
"Where did you encounter it?"
Nangong Chenyu started to make up stories: "We met my eldest brother some time ago, and the white cat was given to me by my eldest brother. My eldest brother said that the white cat was raised by his master."
These words successfully made Elder Ye Er, who wanted to capture the white tiger for research, give up the idea. It's just a beast after all. If it attracts Taoist Master Haoyan and ruins his plan, it will be a waste of time and effort.
To be on the safe side, the second ancestor of the Ye family said to Ye Yisheng, "Yisheng, notify your father and your brothers and sisters and ask them to come to the Ye Mansion as well. On the day when the ancestral hall is opened, their names can be recorded in the family tree together."
To Ye Yisheng, this meant, call your father and your brothers and sisters here so that I can take them as hostages.
Ye Yisheng naturally wouldn't do that.
"Okay, I'll send them a message later." No way.
Patriarch Ye Er left Biluo Garden with satisfaction.
Not long after, a cousin in the Jindan stage brought a Qiankun bag. It contained the monthly salaries of several people, a total of 150,000 low-grade spirit stones. It is obvious that elixirs and other cultivation resources were converted into spirit stones.
After getting the Qiankun bag, the two left the Ye Mansion.
Qi Yucheng has half mortals and half monks. Although the things sold in the shops are not as good as those sold in the market, there are still many good things.
The two went straight to Fuyun Trading Company.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the two of them had spent all the 150,000 low-grade monthly salary they had just received and the 200,000 low-grade spirit stones that Elder Ye Er had given them yesterday.
Not only that, the two also took out another 300,000 low-grade spirit stones.
Afterwards, the two of them spent another half an hour shopping in Fuyun Commercial Bank.
It was not until sunset that the two returned to Ye Mansion.
After the competition was over, the direct descendants of the Ye family either returned to the sect or practiced in seclusion. The two of them were in a deserted situation all the way back to Biluoyuan and didn't meet anyone.
Not long after, those elders who were not in seclusion came to Biluo Garden one after another.
No words were spoken that night.
The next morning, after breakfast, Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen took the initiative to go to the residence of the second ancestor Ye.
When he woke up early in the morning, Elder Ye Er found that his eyelids were twitching violently. He had a vague feeling that something bad was about to happen.
At this time, a servant came to report: "Second Elder, Young Master Nangong and Young Master Wu want to see you."
"What are they doing here?" He muttered, and then ordered, "Let them in."
"yes."
Soon, Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen were brought before the second ancestor Ye.
"Meet the Second Ancestor."
"Good morning, Second Ancestor."
"Sit down!" Elder Ye Er did not rush to ask the two people's purpose of coming, but chatted with them about family matters: "Are you still used to living here?"
Nangong Chenyu killed the conversation with one sentence: "It's not as comfortable as living in Yunjue Palace."
The second ancestor Ye thought to himself: How can the Ye Mansion be compared with the Yunjue Palace?
But Ye Yisheng added: "I don't feel safe, I don't feel at home."
Elder Ye Er: “…” How should he respond?
He replied dryly: "Tell the servants if you need anything."
Ye Yisheng's eyes lit up: "Can I get it just by telling the servants?"
Facing Ye Yisheng's sparkling eyes, the second ancestor Ye's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, but he still smiled and said: "As long as it is something in the Ye Mansion, it will naturally be delivered to the courtyard where you live."
"Alas!" Ye Yisheng's eyes dimmed instantly, and he sighed heavily: "The Ye Mansion doesn't have what I want."
He turned to Nangong Chenyu and said, "Ah Yu, let's go back to Yunjue Palace!"
Nangong Chenyu responded in agreement: "Okay."
Elder Ye Er: Everything is fine, why do you want to go back to Yunjue Palace again?
He quickly asked, "Yisheng, what do you want?"
"Yesterday, A Yu and I went shopping at Fu Yun Commercial Bank and saw a few robes we liked. Unfortunately, all the spirit stones we had were used to buy cultivation resources." After saying this, Ye Yishen looked at the second ancestor Ye with hope in his eyes.
Elder Ye Er was speechless. It turned out that the two men came to him early in the morning to ask for spirit stones.
The second or third level robes should not be expensive, so he immediately took out 20,000 low-grade spirit stones.
Ye Yi reluctantly accepted the spirit stones, still looking at Elder Ye Er eagerly, and said a little embarrassedly: "The robes I like are made of snow-white silkworm silk, and they cost a total of 120,000 low-grade spirit stones."
Elder Ye Er: “…” Do you really think he is a sucker?
Nangong Chenyu spoke at the right time: "Ayi, my elder brother doesn't lack spiritual stones, why don't we go back to Yunjue Palace and ask him for them."
Seeing Ye Yisheng's dim eyes suddenly brighten up again, Patriarch Ye Er took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and took out another 100,000 low-grade spirit stones.
In this way, Ye Yishen and Nangong Chenyu went to Qi Yucheng every day, and every day Ye Yishen had something he liked but didn't have the spirit stones to buy it.
