Chapter 21: The Road Paved for You
After saying that, Ye Rui pulled Ye Fei away from the arena, leaving behind a group of Ye family members with blank expressions.
Hidden in the shadows, Li Yuan curled his lips into a smile. Having seen the result he most wanted, he lingered no longer, turned and left with a flick of his sleeve.

Ye Fei sat on a rosewood stool in Ye Rui's study, holding a cup of floral tea in her hands.
"Little Fei'er, quickly tell Grandpa about your situation." Ye Rui stood with his hands behind his back, asking without changing his expression.
"Ahem, actually, I met a master in the Abyss of Burial Gods a few days ago. He was destined to be with me, so he taught me a set of techniques." Ye Fei said with a straight face, "When I was learning that technique, I suddenly found that I could gather spiritual energy again! I have to thank that senior!"
Ye Rui stroked his chin, seemingly deep in thought: "The expert you encountered in the Abyss of Burial Gods? That Abyss of Burial Gods is incredibly strange. Why would you go there alone?"
“I heard a voice calling to me from the depths of my soul, so I went to the Abyss of Burial Gods alone.” Ye Fei chuckled dryly. She put down her teacup, took the old man’s hand and patted it gently, comforting him, “That senior treated me sincerely. The cultivation technique he taught me was a bit… cough cough, a bit strange, but it was definitely not some evil art.”
Ye Rui gazed at the girl's innocent face, sighed, and gently rubbed the top of her head: "Grandpa naturally believes in you. I am very satisfied with your performance in the arena today."
Ever since Fei'er was unable to cultivate when she was ten years old, the infamy of being a "peerless waste" has weighed on her.
Today, he finally felt a sense of triumph, his little Fei'er was no longer a useless person burdened with infamy...
Ye Rui was overjoyed. He took out an admission letter from a hidden compartment behind the bookshelf and handed it to Ye Fei, his expression solemn: "Little Fei'er, do you know that the Ye family is one of the eight great families in the human realm?"
"The Eight Great Families?"
Ye Fei tried to search her memory for information about the eight great families, but the original owner seemed to know nothing about it.
Seeing Ye Fei's blank expression, Ye Rui raised his hand and rubbed her head, explaining, "The Eight Great Families are eight powerful families among the three major countries of the Eastern Continent, and our Ye Clan is one of these eight great families."
"This year, in order to attract talent, Lingfeng Academy gave eight admission letters to the eight great families. As for the other families that did not receive admission letters, they fought tooth and nail for these coveted admission spots."
As Ye Rui spoke, his expression turned serious: "You might think this is an exaggeration, but Grandpa wants to tell you that in this world where the strong are respected, only those with strong fists can earn everyone's respect."
"This is an admission spot for Lingfeng Academy, and it's also the only admission spot for my Ye family. Now, Grandpa is giving it to you. Little Fei'er, you are worthy of it."
Ye Fei lowered her eyes. The admission letter bore four large, gilded characters written in a flamboyant style: Lingfeng Academy.
She accepted it solemnly with both hands: "Ye Fei... Thank you, Grandpa! Ye Fei will certainly live up to your expectations!"
Hearing this address, Ye Rui smiled and his eyes narrowed: "Okay, okay..."
Ye Rui knew very well that once this admission letter was handed over, his precious granddaughter would face many dangers.
Judging from Ye Jingyao's demeanor just now, he probably already harbored murderous intent towards Xiao Feier.
He now has only one son, Ye Jingyao, and the future of the Ye clan depends on him... He cannot stand by and watch the Ye clan decline.
Ye Rui gazed at the girl's innocent face. "Little Fei'er, Grandpa has already paved the way for you."
I hope you can have your own place in this world.
...
In addition to the letter of admission to Lingfeng Academy, Ye Fei also received other rewards from her family, including some rare medicinal herbs and several books on spiritual master techniques.
"Speaking of which, Little Fei'er, you really didn't start cultivating again because of that Grade 3 Spirit Gathering Pill that Grandpa gave you before?" Ye Rui asked again.
Ye Fei shook her head and answered honestly, "No, I didn't take that Spirit Gathering Pill."
Speaking of which, the original owner gave that Spirit Gathering Pill to Su Haochen as a token of their love.
It seems she needs to find an opportunity to get this token back from Su Haochen.
