Chapter 101 Life Story
No matter how much Song Cheng and Lu Han objected, Muchen still became a new student in the Inscription Academy.
Xia Qingyan placed Muchen in the Tianban class of the Inscription Academy. Like Ye Shi, Muchen became an elite student of the academy and could get a 40% discount on purchases. Muchen no longer had to rely on Ye Shi to buy things.
"Fifty million." Mu Chen said with some surprise as he took the Yuanshi card handed over by Ye Shi.
"This is the initial deposit. Master has reached an agreement with several major forces in the imperial capital. Every month, you will give them five to ten Level 3 Fire Talismans. Also, every month, Master will put thirty Fire Talismans up for auction. So you will have to prepare about a hundred Level 3 Fire Talismans every month. Is that difficult?" Ye Shi asked.
Mu Chen shook his head, smiled and said, "No." If he worked hard, he could probably finish one hundred fire talismans in two days.
Ye Shi nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's good."
An average third-level talisman master working hard in a day could produce around five to eight third-level talismans. Ye Shi felt the workload Jing Chiyan and Muchen had assigned him was too heavy, and he even had a fight with Jing Chiyan. It wasn't until Jing Chiyan explained that Muchen was a genius and couldn't be judged by ordinary standards, perhaps even several times more efficient than an average third-level talisman master, that Ye Shi finally gave up.
"Tomorrow is a day off. Do you want to come with me to see my dad?" Mu Chen smiled at Ye Shi.
During this period, Jing Chiyan reached a deal with several major forces and released a lot of Flame Talismans one after another. The enthusiasm of the outside world for the Flame Talisman has cooled down a lot. Now when he goes out, he will no longer be as ostentatious as before.
"Okay!" Ye Shi nodded, and then said, "By the way, Muchen, are you doing well in the Inscription Academy?"
"Very good. Inscriptions are profound and extensive. Most of the inscriptions in our Xuanfeng Empire are engraved on weapons to increase the power of weapons. However, in fact, the role of inscriptions is far more than that. Inscriptions can be engraved on pills to increase the utilization rate of pills, and they can also be engraved on the body to assist in cultivation..." Mu Chen said incessantly.
The art of inscription is somewhat unpopular, and there are not many students in the Inscription Academy. The atmosphere in the Inscription Academy is good, at least no one is looking for trouble with him.
According to the original book, the Xuanfeng Empire was just a small country. Sooner or later, he would go out with Ye Shi and see the wider world. Ye Shi opened his eyes wide and asked, "How do you know this?"
Mu Chen smiled and said, "It's written in the book."
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen with admiration and said, "You know so much."
"No." Mu Chen said with a smile.
“…”
On the day off, Muchen and Ye Shi left the academy early and went to Xiangyue Restaurant.
"Chen'er." Mu Yuanfeng couldn't help but feel excited when he saw Mu Chen.
"Father." Mu Chen called out affectionately. Mu Chen was an orphan in his previous life. After traveling through time, he always regarded Mu Yuanfeng as his biological father and was deeply attached to him.
Mu Yuanfeng looked at Mu Chen and felt a sense of pride in his heart. The most outstanding student in the Holy Star Academy was none other than his own son.
"Uncle Mu." Ye Shi called out obediently and bowed to Mu Yuanfeng.
Mu Yuanfeng looked at Ye Shi gently and said, "Shi Tou, you've grown taller!"
Ye Shi nodded nervously, rubbing his hands, and said, "He's grown a little taller."
Mu Yuanfeng smiled faintly. Although Ye Shi was now the disciple of King Wu, he had not changed at all in front of him.
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi's reserved look and couldn't help but laugh. Even when facing Jing Chiyan, Ye Shi wouldn't be so cautious. But in front of his father, it seemed... This is all because of him! Thinking of this, Mu Chen reached out and scratched Ye Shi's palm.
Ye Shi blushed and glared at Mu Chen.
The four of them gathered for a meal and chatted about their recent situation. After the meal, Ye Shi left with Chen Da, and Mu Chen followed Mu Yuanfeng to the training room that Mu Yuanfeng rented.
Mu Chen took out fifty third-grade fire talismans and handed them to Mu Yuanfeng.
"This is..." Mu Yuanfeng was surprised and happy when he saw a stack of fire talismans.
"This is something I prepared specially for you, father. Although the Flame Talisman can be used to refine the Sun's Essence Fire, it is too weak. But it is better than nothing. You can make do with it for now, father. I will keep an eye out for other fire sources for you. Perhaps, we can wait for a while until I can draw a fourth-level Flame Talisman. The Sun's Essence Fire refined from it should be much stronger." Mu Chen said lightly.
Mu Yuanfeng smiled helplessly. Muchen's Fire Talisman was sold at a sky-high price in the black market. Mu Yuanfeng was also very tempted. He had thought that Muchen was his son and the Fire Talisman was so precious that he should be able to give him a few. However, he didn't expect that Muchen gave him fifty of them at once.
Judging from Muchen's expression, he was not very satisfied with his Flame Talisman. Perhaps he was too old and could not keep up with his son's pace.
"Chen'er, you have grown up." Mu Yuanfeng smiled with relief.
Mu Chen smiled nonchalantly and said, "Son, you still need more guidance from your father."
Mu Yuanfeng patted Mu Chen's shoulder and said with a sense of loss, "Father can't help you now."
"How could that be? I'm still far away. Father, you're a martial spirit, and I'm just a martial artist." Mu Chen tilted his head and pretended to be discouraged.
Mu Yuanfeng shook his head helplessly and said, "You will soon be able to catch up with me, your father."
If Mu Chen had not given him the Soul-Breaking Pill, he would not have been able to advance to the Martial Spirit level so quickly. Mu Chen's rapid growth made Mu Yuanfeng feel proud, but also powerless.
His son is only fourteen years old, but he is already an eighth-level martial artist. It is believed that Ye Shi can expect him to break through to the martial spirit level in no time.
Mu Chen took out a Yuanshi card, handed it to Mu Yuanfeng, and said, "Father, you have to work harder. Don't catch up with me so easily!"
"Chen'er, this... I can't accept it." Mu Yuanfeng frowned as he looked at the amount of damage.
"Father, please keep it. Don't you trust your son's ability to make money? Father, you are a martial spirit now, and the level of cultivation resources you need has increased accordingly. It is the time when you need Yuanshi, so don't be polite to me." Mu Chen said with a smile.
Mu Yuanfeng looked at Mu Chen and smiled with relief, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"By the way, what is your relationship with Ye Shi now?" Mu Yuanfeng asked.
"Very good!" Mu Chen said without hesitation.
Mu Yuanfeng narrowed his eyes and his expression turned serious. "Actually, Ye Shi's identity is a bit strange."
Mu Chen asked in confusion: "Weird?"
Mu Yuanfeng nodded and said, "Before, when you asked me to carefully investigate Ye Shi's background, I discovered something unusual."
"Unusual, what?" Mu Chen said with a stern face.
Mu Yuanfeng narrowed his eyes and said, "Ye Shi's mother and father were already three months pregnant before she married Ye Xun."
"Father, what do you mean? Did Ye Shi's mother and father get pregnant before marriage?" Mu Chen said with narrowed eyes.
"No, what I mean is that Ye Shi may not be Ye Xun's son." Mu Yuanfeng said.
Mu Chen opened his eyes wide and said, "How is that possible?"
Mu Yuanfeng shook his head and said, "This is just my guess. Ye Shi's mother and father's background is a bit strange. He will marry Ye Xun, maybe there is some hidden reason."
Mu Chen gritted his teeth. There was actually an inside story about Ye Shi's identity.
Muchen had long known that Ye Shi had a powerful grandfather, but the original text didn't mention that Ye Shi's biological father wasn't Ye Xun! However, it was understandable that it wasn't mentioned, after all, the book ended badly.
Although it was a pitfall, it was generally too revealing in the way Tom, Mary Sue, and other amateur novels tell it. It was nothing more than a white lotus and a few high-quality tops staying together forever.
The problem is that he is now in a real world, not a fiction.

"Uncle Chen, what do you want to tell me? You want me to avoid Mu Chen." Ye Shi looked at Chen Da in confusion.
Chen Da looked at Ye Shi with gentle eyes and said, "You are grown up now. There are some things I need to tell you."
Ye Shi looked at Chen Da's serious expression and couldn't help feeling a little confused.
"Uncle Chen, what do you want to tell me?" Ye Shi bit his lip and asked in confusion.
Chen Da sighed softly, raised his head, looked at Mu Chen with a dog-like expression, and said, "Shi Tou, you are not Ye Xun's son."
Ye Shi's eyes widened in confusion and asked, "I'm not? Then who is my father?"
"Your parents don't know who he is either. He doesn't seem to be from the Xuanfeng Empire. When he left, he left an ID card for your parents, and then disappeared without a trace." Chen Da said a little annoyed.
Ye Shi asked in confusion: "If that's the case, then why did my mother and father marry Ye Xun?"
Chen Da narrowed his eyes, his face stained with anger. "The Ye family is worthless. Your grandfather once saved Ye He, and Ye He said he would work like a slave and repay your grandfather with his life."
"After your grandpa disappeared, your mother and father went to Yehe for refuge. In the early days, Yehe was extremely enthusiastic and cared deeply about your mother and father's well-being."
"Ye He knew that your mother and father were abandoned, so he tried his best to bring them together with Ye Xun."
"Ye Xun was very kind to your mother and father at first. He swore to heaven that he would take good care of them and treat you as his own child."
"Your mother and father were young and naive, and didn't understand the secrets of a large family. Furthermore, Ye He and his son had initially acted so kind and harmless, that it didn't take long for them to open up to the Ye family father and his son."
"Your mother and father were easily deceived. They gradually gave all the things your grandfather left them to the Ye family father and son. The Ye family father and son were worthless. After draining your mother and father, they turned their backs on you. Ye He and Ye Xun kept you because, on the one hand, they were afraid of your missing grandfather, and on the other hand, they suspected that you had something of your mother and father's."
Ye Shi bit his lip. He couldn't imagine that his grandfather was such a person.
However, after the truth of the matter was revealed, Ye Shi discovered that, in fact, many things have traces to follow.
No wonder! No wonder Ye Xun never cared when his brothers and sisters called him a bastard behind his back. No wonder, no matter what he did, Ye Xun always looked at him with indifference. It turned out that he was not his offspring at all.
And grandpa is pretty nice to me, but that's only compared to Ye Xun.
When his mother and father had just passed away, Ye He treated him very well. Ye Shi originally thought that he was sympathetic to his grief over losing his mother, but now it seems that he might have suspected that his mother and father had left something for him.
"Uncle Chen, why are you telling me this now?" Ye Shi asked puzzledly.
"Your parents told you not to know too much until you are able to protect yourself." Chen Da shook his head.
Ye Shi lowered his head with a complicated expression on his face. Everything he learned today overturned his cognition of more than ten years.
Since Ye Xun is not his father, Ye Rong is not his sister at all. He doesn't need to be polite if the Ye family provokes him again.
