Chapter 102 Trust
Seeing that Ye Shi had calmed down a little, Chen Da took out a piece of paper and handed it to Ye Shi.
Ye Shi asked in confusion: "What is this?"
"This is the receipt from the safe of Mingyue Trading Company. Your grandfather left something for your parents and deposited it in Mingyue Trading Company in the imperial capital. Ye He and Ye Xun used both soft and hard tactics on your parents to get these things. If it weren't for the father and son of the Ye family who were pressing them step by step, your parents wouldn't have died so early." When he said this, Chen Da couldn't help but have a bit of anger in his eyes.
Ye Shi gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.
"Your grandfather is very powerful, but he always overestimates people's hearts." Chen Da sighed lightly.
Ye Shi bit his lip, lowered his head in silence, his eyes changing rapidly.
Ye Xun is not his biological father. He is the ferocious beast that killed his mother and father. Let’s forget about the past. If this man offends him again in the future, he will not be so polite.
"The justice of heaven is clear and retribution is inevitable. Ye He had planned everything, but he probably never thought that he would die at the hands of his most trusted son." When he said this, Chen Da's face suddenly showed a bit of satisfaction.
Ye Shi looked at Chen Da in astonishment and said, "Uncle Chen, did you say that Grandpa, no, Ye He was killed by Ye Xun?"
Chen Da nodded and said, "Yes, speaking of which, this matter is also related to your mother and father. Ye Xun tried his best to please your mother and father back then and got a lot from them. However, all those things fell into Ye He's hands."
"Ye Xun's cultivation talent is average. Over the years, his strength progress has been slower and slower, and his prejudice against Ye He has become deeper and deeper. Coincidentally, Ye He's cultivation was too eager for quick success, and when something went wrong, it gave Ye Xun an opportunity to take advantage of it."
Ye Shi narrowed his eyes and asked, "So?"
"So, Ye Xun poisoned Ye He." Chen Da said sarcastically.
Ye Xun's brain was all about women. He was delusional that he would take over all the power after Ye He died, without considering whether he had enough deterrent power.
"Ye He is dead, and Ye Xun didn't get anything good out of it." Ye Shi frowned.
Chen Da smiled maliciously and said, "You're right. After Ye He died, the situation of the Ye family went from bad to worse. Ye Xun regretted it not long after. However, the situation of the Ye family has improved recently."
"Why is this happening?" Ye Shi asked somewhat dissatisfiedly.
"He used you. No matter what, you are his son in name only. Now you have been accepted as a disciple by King Wu, so..." Chen Da did not continue.
Ye Shi had suffered so much injustice in the Ye family for so many years, and in the end, he was even used by Ye Xun. Thinking of this, Chen Da couldn't help feeling a little indignant.
Ye Shi gritted his teeth and cursed, "This damn guy."
"Let's not talk about the Ye family. How are you and Young Master Mu doing?" Chen Da looked at Ye Shi and asked gently.
When Ye Shi mentioned Muchen, his anger instantly vanished, and a blush appeared on his face. "Muchen is very good to me."
Chen Da looked at Ye Shi and couldn't help but remind him, "You can only know a person's face but not his heart. No matter how good Young Master Mu is to you, you must be careful."
Ye Shi said disapprovingly: "Mu Chen is different from Ye Xun. He is sincere to me."
Chen Da said disapprovingly, "Before Ye Xun revealed his true colors, your mother and father also believed him to be sincere. We shouldn't have the intention to harm others, but we must be on guard against them. Master Mu always gives me a feeling that I can't see through him. Perhaps he is not as gentle and harmless as he appears to be."
Ye Shi puffed out his cheeks and didn't say yes, but he felt a little disapproving in his heart. How could Ye Xun compare with Muchen? He was not even worthy of carrying Muchen's shoes.
"There's nothing about me that Mu Chen would covet." Ye Shi said lightly.
Chen Da said disapprovingly: "How could there be none? You were the one who gave Muchen the Azure Nether Flame, right?"
Ye Shi shook his head and said, "No! Mu Chen found it himself."
Chen Da glared at Ye Shi unhappily.
Ye Shi thought disapprovingly, it was indeed Mu Chen who found it himself. That maze could not be solved without Mu Chen!
"Uncle Chen, why are you telling me about the safe now?" Ye Shi asked somewhat puzzled.
Chen Da glanced at Ye Shi and said, "First of all, the things in the safe are for martial artists and martial spirits. You couldn't use them before. Secondly, Ye Xun has been worried about keeping an eye on you for years. When you first arrived in Mo City and went to work in a restaurant, he was able to dispel his doubts a little."
Ye Shi frowned, nodded and said, "So that's how it is? Someone has been staring at me." He said that before, he always had the feeling that someone was staring at him, and in fact, this feeling has not disappeared until now.

Holy Star Academy.
"That Fire Talisman is really powerful. Tang Zhuer spent 1.3 million at an auction house to buy a third-level Fire Talisman, and she really refined the Sun's Essence Fire from it." said a female student.
"It's so good to be rich!" another girl couldn't help but sigh.
"That's right, it's 1.3 million."
"The ability to be born into a good family is not something everyone can have."
"In fact, it's better to find a good husband than to be born into a good family. Ye Shi has also refined the Sun Essence Fire. Judging from the strength of Ye Shi's Sun Essence Fire, he has at least fused 20 to 30 clusters of Sun Essence Fire. Mu Chen is very generous to Ye Shi! He has entrusted hundreds of millions of Yuanshi to Ye Shi to manage."
"Ye Shi still has at least dozens of Flame Talismans. According to the senior students serving Senior Jing, Ye Shi would fuse a Flame Talisman whenever he had time. Every time he fused a Flame Talisman, Ye Shi's strength would increase."
"Ye Shi is so lucky. Aren't Ye Rong and Ye Shi from our class brother and sister? Can you ask her for help through the back door?"
"You're kidding. Ask her for help. Ye Shi and she are sworn enemies. If you ask her for help, Ye Shi might even raise your price."
"Ye Shi and Zhuang Yu are at odds, and Ye Rong followed Zhuang Yu in picking on Ye Shi. I'm afraid Ye Shi now hates Ye Rong to the core."
"You may not know this, but Ye Rong and Ye Shi are sworn enemies. They have the same father but different mothers. I heard that when Ye Shi was a child, Ye Rong's mother almost killed him."
"Ye Rong is such a shameless person. Ye Shi is being polite by not causing trouble for her, but she is so shameless as to go and pick a fight with Ye Shi."
"I guess it's because of poor upbringing. She comes from a small place and hasn't seen the world, but she always thinks she's a princess."
…………
Ye Rong sat aside, eating quietly. There was no one around her table.
The feeling of being isolated made Ye Rong extremely uncomfortable.
What's so great about Ye Shi? Why are so many people vying to please him? Ye Rong just can't understand why she has ended up in this situation.
Thinking of the answer her mother had given her, Ye Rong gritted her teeth unwillingly. Her mother actually asked her to get along well with Ye Shi and even asked her to apologize to Ye Shi. After seeing the letter, Ye Rong couldn't believe that it was written by her mother.
Ye Rong clenched her fists tightly. Ye Shi had hurt her so badly, and she still had to apologize to him. She would never do such a thing.
Ye Rong pursed her lips and thought secretly: Fortunately, my father still loves me. My father has already set off and should be here soon. Ye Shi can treat me like this, but he should give face to his father after all.

Zhuang Yu sat next to Lan Ruofeng and said calmly, "Ruofeng, you don't have any fire yet, right?"
Lan Ruofeng nodded and said, "Yes!"
After knowing that Muchen possessed a strange fire, Lan Ruofeng also longed for a strange fire. However, if the strange fire was easy to find, Xiong Wei would not have searched for it for many years and found nothing.
"I heard that the Flame Talisman is quite effective and has a high success rate in fusing the sun's fire." Zhuang Yu said thoughtfully.
Lan Ruofeng lowered his head, his face twisted. He had always regarded Muchen as his rival. The thought of using something created by Muchen made Lan Ruofeng feel uncomfortable.
Although the solar essence fire extracted from the talisman is of good quality, it is too weak and difficult to cultivate. It is not the best choice for Lan Ruofeng, who is determined to become a master of weapon refining.
The fire that Muchen possesses is the Azure Nether Flame. If he only possesses the Sun Essence Fire, the gap between him and Muchen will become larger and larger in the future.
What’s even more annoying is that the Flame Talisman is very expensive, and with his wealth, he can’t afford to buy many. Lan Ruofeng felt aggrieved when he thought about giving money to Muchen to buy his things.
"Ruofeng, are you okay?" Zhuang Yu asked Lan Ruofeng.
Lan Ruofeng shook his head and said, "It's okay."
Zhuang Yu held his chin in his hand and said thoughtfully, "I don't know where Muchen's exotic fire came from. This guy is really lucky to have such a precious exotic fire."
Lan Ruofeng lowered his head. Where did Muchen get the strange fire from? It must have been given by Ye Shi. That pretty boy Muchen must have known that Ye Shi's identity was questionable.
Ye Shi, that idiot, was sold out by Muchen, and he was still helping Muchen count the money.
…………
"Master." Seeing Hua Shu coming, Lan Ruofeng and Murong Yan called out respectfully at the same time.
Hua Shu looked at the two of them with mixed feelings.
To be fair, Lan Ruofeng and Murong Yan are now both four-star martial artists, and their performance is already outstanding enough. After all, the best performers among the freshmen in previous classes are still not as good as these two. However, the situation this year is somewhat special.
This year, not only did two Shuang'er with level eight qualifications emerge, but also a genius Muchen emerged.
This year, all four of them, the Martial Kings, accepted disciples. Although he accepted two, when compared with the other three, the quality of their disciples seemed a bit low.
Zhuang Yu and Ye Shi are both five-star martial artists, and Mu Chen has even reached eight stars.
Zhuang Yu and Ye Shi's qualifications are better than his two, but Muchen's qualifications are worse than the two. Now, no matter whether their qualifications are better or worse than his apprentice's, they have all surpassed his apprentice.
"You guys work hard." Hua Shu said somewhat dejectedly.
"Yes." Lan Ruofeng and Murong Yan responded at the same time.
Lan Ruofeng couldn't help but clench his fists. Although Hua Shu didn't say a harsh word, the disappointment in his eyes was obvious.
Lan Ruofeng gritted his teeth. Mu Chen was already an eight-star martial artist. Now, not only could he not catch up with Mu Chen in alchemy skills, but even his cultivation level.
Thinking of Muchen, Lan Ruofeng couldn't help but feel a strong sense of frustration in his heart.
If it was me who got the strange fire, then everything would be different.
According to the news passed down by his mother and father, Qu Kun seemed to have searched for Qingming Flame in his early years, and Qingming Flame was very likely related to Ye Shi.
If, when I heard my mother talking about Ye Shi's life experience, I didn't stay at home with Zhuang Yu, but went directly back to Mocheng to find Ye Shi, would everything be different?
One wrong step leads to another. It’s too late to regret now.
…………
No matter how Chen Da warned him, Ye Shi still told Mu Chen about the safe and his life story.
Mu Chen listened to Ye Shi's narration in a daze.
"Mu Chen." Ye Shi called out softly.
Mu Chen slowly regained consciousness, looked at Ye Shi, and said, "Why are you telling me all this? Aren't you afraid that I have ulterior motives towards you?"
Ye Shi leaned against Mu Chen and said firmly, "I know you won't hurt me."
Mu Chen stroked Ye Shi's hair helplessly. "In this world, you can't trust anyone except yourself. You're so heartless, what can I do? How can I feel at ease with you?"
Ye Shi leaned on Mu Chen's shoulder disapprovingly, smiled, and said, "I only do this to you. You won't hurt me, right?"
Mu Chen smiled and hugged Ye Shi into his arms, "Of course I won't hurt you."
If I didn't show up, would Ye Shi tell Lan Ruofeng all this? Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and found that he was jealous, but he didn't know what to be jealous of.
"How much do you know about your biological father?" Mu Chen asked after a moment of thought.
Ye Shi shook his head and said, "Not much. He didn't date my mother and father for long before he left. However, Uncle Chen said he left behind a bronze plaque."
"Bronze medal?" Mu Chen narrowed his eyes.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes!" Ye Shi took out a metal plate and handed it to Mu Chen. There was a white word on the metal plate.
Mu Chen frowned. Zhuang Yu's third legitimate daughter had the surname Bai. He didn't know if she had any connection with Mu Chen's biological father.
"Keep this thing well. It might be useful in the future," Mu Chen instructed.
Ye Shi said disapprovingly: "It's useful, what's the use, it's not made of gold."
Mu Chen said helplessly: "Although this is not gold, it is not silver either. It should be a special metal."
"What kind of special metal is this? Is it valuable?" Ye Shi asked with his eyes wide open, full of curiosity.
Mu Chen smiled helplessly and said, "It should be very valuable. In short, you should keep it well!"
When Ye Shi heard Mu Chen say that it was valuable, he immediately put the metal plate away carefully.
Mu Chen couldn't help but laugh when he saw Ye Shi's expression.
