Chapter 59 Ye Family Crisis
Mu Chen pulled Ye Shi to sit somewhere far away from the others and ordered a large table of dishes without hesitation.
When Muchen ordered dishes, he ordered the most expensive ones in the restaurant. A table of dishes was worth several thousand yuan. Ye Shi had always been careless and did not notice Muchen's extravagance, but Ye Ming and others noticed it.
Ye Rong looked at Ye Shi with jealousy from time to time. When Ye Shi saw Ye Rong looking at him, he glared back at her fiercely.
"Uncle Ming, that is really Muchen, and he is a five-star warrior. I heard that Muchen is a useless person with no knowledge or skills." Ye Rong muttered.
Ye Ming frowned and said, "That was more than half a year ago. I don't know what happened to Young Master Muchen, but he suddenly awakened more than half a year ago. Since then, he has become a sensation. Not only did his strength increase at an astonishing rate, he also became an alchemist."
Ye Rong's face was full of confusion. "Since Mu Chen is so outstanding now, why should he be with Ye Shi?"
"Everyone has their own preferences. Young Master Muchen seems to like Young Master Yeshi very much." Ye Ming glanced in the direction of Muchen and Ye Shi. Muchen picked up a piece of shark fin for Ye Shi. Ye Shi looked at Muchen shyly, and a hint of happiness appeared on his face involuntarily.
Ye Ming narrowed his eyes. Although he didn't know what Muchen liked about Ye Shi, it was always a good thing that Muchen liked Ye Shi.
After Ye He's death, Ye Xun was ecstatic at first, feeling fortunate that the person who had bound him was finally gone, and that no one would control how he spent his money.
However, Ye Xun soon discovered that something was wrong. The family business had frequent problems, traitors kept appearing in the family, and the alchemists who had contracts with the Ye family also left the Ye family and joined other families. Ye Xun was busy and overwhelmed, but he still couldn't stop the decline of the Ye family.
Ye Xun, who was at his wit's end, finally spent 200,000 yuan stones to buy two admission letters from the Holy Star Academy, trying to make a last gamble.
Ye Ming frowned. Of the two notices Ye Xun bought, one was actually prepared for Ye Shi. Although Ye Shi was not favored by Ye Xun, Ye Xun knew very well that Ye Shi was the one with the greatest hope of being selected by the Holy Star Academy, and even favored by the elders of the Holy Star Academy.
Ye Xun sent people to Mo City to inquire about the situation, but heard that Ye Shi was very much loved by Mu Yuanfeng. Mu Yuanfeng even spent 100,000 to buy an admission letter from the Holy Star Academy for Ye Shi.
When Ye Xun heard that Ye Shi already had an admission letter, he immediately gave up the idea of giving Ye Shi one. He thought that Ye Shi was a member of the Ye family after all, and blood is thicker than water. If Ye Shi became successful, he would definitely help the Ye family.
Ye Ming gave a helpless smile. Ye Shi was so resistant to the Ye family. It would be difficult to expect Ye Shi to think about the Ye family in the future!

Ye Rong gritted her teeth and said, "Uncle Ming, what level is Ye Shi now?"
Ye Ming glanced at Ye Shi and said, "Master Shi, it seems that you have made rapid progress and are already a seven-star warrior."
"What?" Ye Wu asked with his eyes wide open.
"How come his strength improved so quickly?" Ye Cheng couldn't help but ask.
It was well known in the Ye family that Ye Shi was talented. Although Ye Shi's concubines tried their best to suppress Ye Shi, Ye Shi still managed to stay ahead of everyone else. However, it took only a few months for Ye Shi to advance from a two-star warrior to a seven-star warrior, which was still too fast.
Ye Ming shook his head and said, "I don't know. I heard that Master Muchen treats Master Shi very well and is generous with all his resources."
Ye Rong looked at Ye Shi, who was being carefully cared for by Muchen, and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes. Ye Shi was so lucky. He had his grandfather to protect him before, and now he had a fiancé who obeyed him in everything. What kind of vision did Muchen have? How could he like Ye Shi?
"Mu Chen, this guy is such a waste, ordering so many dishes." Ye Rong said sourly.
"Young Master Mu is an alchemist. I heard that his success rate in refining pills is not low. I guess he is not short of money." Ye Ming said thoughtfully.
Ye Cheng said disapprovingly: "I don't believe that a first-level alchemist like him can make much money. I think he is just lucky and was born into a good family."
Ye Wu sighed and said, "Being able to reincarnate is also a skill!"
Ye Rong looked in the direction of Ye Shi, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes.
"It's so strange, how come the three of them are here?" Ye Shi asked in confusion while eating.
Mu Chen took a leisurely sip of tea and said, "It's not hard to guess. They should be going to participate in the selection of Holy Star Academy."
Ye Shi said disapprovingly: "That's not right! There are three of them, and the Ye family should only have one spot."
"If there are not enough places, you can buy them!" Mu Chen said casually.
Ye Shi shook his head and said disapprovingly: "I don't think so."
Although Ye Xun was much more generous to his other brothers and sisters except for being stingy with him, Ye Shi still found it impossible for him to be so generous as to spend 200,000 yuan to buy two places. Ye Xun was actually quite stingy.
"Haven't you noticed? The strength of the three of them has just reached the level of two-star warriors, which is just enough to qualify for the selection of the Holy Star Academy." Mu Chen said leisurely.
Ye Shi scratched his head and said, "Yeah! It's really strange. Ye Wu is fine, but Ye Cheng's strength has actually reached the level of a two-star warrior."
"It's not surprising. Their strength should have been boosted by the use of elixirs." Mu Chen said lightly.
Ye Shi said puzzledly, "Using elixirs to accelerate the process has many hidden dangers! My father wouldn't do that."
"Of course. After your grandfather died, the Ye family lost a strong leader and was suppressed by other families. The family business was divided up. Your father must be extremely anxious now." Mu Chen said.
"How do you know?" Ye Shi asked.
Mu Chen shrugged and said, "There is no such thing as a completely impenetrable wall. Bad news always spreads quickly."
Ye Shi let out a breath, his expression a little complicated, and said: "When grandpa was alive, father always hoped that grandpa would die soon and not care about him. Now that grandpa is really dead, father's life seems to be difficult." Ye Shi frowned, not knowing what he was thinking about, and felt a little sad.
"Actually, there is a way to solve the predicament of your Ye family." Mu Chen said lightly.
"What?" Ye Shi asked in confusion.
"The Holy Star Academy holds a high position within the empire. Every year, the academy enrolls a small number of students. Families whose members are admitted will see their status greatly improved. Many students who graduate from the Holy Star Academy will become masters of the Martial Master, Martial Spirit, or even Martial King levels..."
"I also heard that the instructors of the Holy Star Academy sometimes choose students from among the new students to be their apprentices. Students with outstanding qualifications will even be fought over. If someone from your Ye family can be chosen by the instructors of the academy, then the current predicament of the Ye family will be solved..." Mu Chen said lightly.
Ye Shi glanced at Ye Rong and the others, curled his lips, and said, "Being chosen by the instructor? If the instructors at Holy Star Academy select students based on their ability to act like a spoiled brat, then Ye Rong might be chosen."
Ye Shi tilted his head. It wasn't that he looked down on his brothers and sisters, but the Holy Star Academy recruited the best students in the empire every year, and there were many six-star, seven-star, and eight-star warriors under the age of fifteen.
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully, "Your father must have been forced into a desperate situation, so he's taking a gamble."
Ye Shi gritted his teeth and said, "You're right. This is really my father's style. He's not a very responsible person. On the one hand, he complains that Grandpa doesn't give him enough, and on the other hand, he puts the family affairs on Grandpa's head."
"If you were still a member of the Ye family, whether your father could succeed in doing this would be another matter." Mu Chen said.
"Me?" Ye Shi said with eyes wide open.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes! You haven't noticed how outstanding your qualifications are."
A fourteen-year-old seven-star warrior, Mu Chen dared to bet that even the Holy Star Academy would rarely admit students who could reach this level.
Ye Shi frowned and smiled bitterly, "So, this is why he wants to take me back? I thought Ye Xun wasn't someone who would easily find his conscience. Is that the case?"
Mu Chen patted Ye Shi's shoulder and said, "Okay, don't think too much."
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Okay."
