Chapter 45: Visiting the Duke's Mansion



Zhao Letong looked up at the sky. The weather was nice today. Zhao Biao looked embarrassed and quickly apologized: "I am ignorant, please forgive me, my lord. Tongtong, apologize to Young Master Ye."

Zhao Biao is a world away from the Ye family. That is a super-class Duke's Mansion. The queen is from the Ye family. It is a top-level noble family that is no less powerful than the Prince's Mansion.

The most important thing is that the Ye family is in charge of military power. The soldiers promoted by the old man are spread all over the country and are the faith of military generals. Zhao Biao comes from a peasant family and cannot reach their level.

He even received the old man's favor and was very grateful to him.

Now my daughter is so bold that she asks other people’s precious grandson to be her younger brother.

Zhao Letong didn't want to apologize. He was not as skilled as the other one, and he was recruited as a younger brother voluntarily and based on his ability. Why should he apologize?

Besides, it is his blessing to be his younger brother. This child is born with the ability to see ghosts and goblins, and is most loved by wandering ghosts. If he is not protected by the big boss, he may die young.

He was wearing a string of Buddhist beads, which had been blessed by a high monk and had protected him until now. Now the beads had become dim and would not last for a few more days.

That’s why Ye Tiance can see ghosts, and even ghosts come to him in broad daylight, attracted by his special physique.

For the first time, Zhao Biao's face darkened. "Tongtong, you can't be so ignorant. Apologize quickly."

Zhao Letong looked at him deeply, "Apologize, apologize! You apologize when you don't even know anything. Doesn't Dad love me anymore?"

"This child has the ability to see ghosts. I took him in to help him. An apology is fine, but if anything happens to him in the future, I won't be responsible."

Zhao Biao's pupils constricted. Is this really the case?

Duke Ye was quite reasonable. "Forget it. Children are just playing around, adults shouldn't get involved. Let's go back."

Ye Tiance was reluctant to leave: "Grandfather, I want to be with my elder sister. She can protect me."

Duke Ye was incredulous: "How is this possible? She's not even as old as you, how could she protect you?"

[Does ability depend on age? Then wouldn't a ten-thousand-year-old turtle be the most powerful?]

Zhao Biao was speechless. He hoped the kid would stop talking, otherwise he would offend so many people.

Ye Tiance said anxiously: "It's true, Grandfather, you have to believe me."

Zhao Biao whispered: "Young Master is born with Yin-Yang eyes. My daughter is indeed a little special. She does understand something."

Duke Ye frowned. Only a few people knew about his grandson's Yin-Yang eyes. His son and daughter-in-law, the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple, even the empress and the emperor didn't know about it. It was a top secret of the Ye family. How could Zhao Biao know about it?

Zhao Letong had a cold expression on his face, and gave him a very comfortable aura. Duke Ye was already old, and had suffered some hidden injuries from the battles and killings in his early years. He always had some indescribable discomfort in his body. When he was close to Zhao Letong, these discomforts were alleviated.

Ye Tiance's eyes were filled with pleading, and Duke Ye retreated to the next best option, "Why don't we invite Miss Zhao to our home, General Zhao, would you do me the honor?"

"I'd love to hear that, but would that be too much of a bother?"

Zhao Letong, [The old man is quite calculating. My going to his house is a blessing for his family. Ye Tiance's physique will attract countless wandering ghosts. Their house is almost becoming a den of ghosts now.]

[People are old and cunning, Dad. You can't outsmart him. Just go. Just think of it as helping Dad find a backer. Alas, Dad's status is still low. How can I walk around in the future?]

[Dad can't do it, I have to work hard, this family still depends on me. ]

Zhao Biao looked depressed. What his daughter said was true. There was nothing he could do. Who made the capital city full of powerful people?

Zhang Zhao is still watching the fun. If you offend Duke Ye, just imagine how you, Zhao Biao, will survive in the future.

As a result, Duke Ye invited them to his home to do it, and this reversal caused him to sprain his back.

"Come on, what's the little girl's name?"

"Zhao Letong."

Zhao Letong replied that there are times when one should be polite. Although this old man is cunning, he is a good person with a virtuous air.

Otherwise, he would not be able to suppress the blood and evil spirit formed by years of fighting.

The Duke Ye's Mansion was at least five times larger than the Zhao's. There were pavilions, towers, bridges, ponds, waterside pavilions, and winding corridors everywhere. Zhao Letong remained calm. There were many more magnificent places in the world of cultivation. In her eyes, worldly wealth was nothing but clouds.

The only thing that seems out of place is that there are talismans pasted all over the house to ward off evil spirits. They have all been blessed and are protecting the peace of the house.

Duke Ye was surprised to see that her expression remained unchanged and she was calm and composed. The little girl was indeed extraordinary.

Zhao Letong didn't let Zhao Biao hold her, "Put me down, I'll walk by myself. There are too many dirty things in this house, and they even showed their teeth to me. I have such a bad temper, I want to fight with ghosts."

Zhao Biao's face turned green. Is it possible?

[Dad, what are you looking at? Even if you can't do it, I can do it.]

Zhao Biao: “…”

Okay, he really can't do it, "Then be careful."

【rest assured.】

Zhao Biao put her down, and Zhao Letong pulled Ye Tiance: "Come on, I'll take you to have some fun."

"What are you playing?"

"Beat the little devil."

Ye Tiance's eyes widened in fear: "You're not lying to me?"

"If you lied to me, I would call you Big Brother."

"Okay, how do you fight? I'll do whatever you say."

It is necessary to plant some willow trees beside the pond. Zhao Letong took him to break off a few willow branches. It is said that willow branches can fight ghosts, and the more you fight, the smaller the ghosts become. Zhao Letong injected some spiritual energy into it, and the willow branches could then fight ghosts.

"There are two water ghosts over there. They are so ugly. Beat them up."

Zhao Letong sat cross-legged and let Ye Tiance hit her. If she made a move, she would beat them to death.

Ye Tiance was half-believing and half-doubting, so he gently slapped the water ghost twice. The water ghost screamed, shrank in an instant, and ran away with a look of fear on its face.

Ye Tiance instantly gained confidence and chased after him, hitting him twice: "I'll let you scare me, I'll let you want my body, I'll let you want to eat me, I'll beat you to death..."
