"Why are you so agitated? It's not like you haven't considered it before."
Ye Qingfeng didn't even bother to lift his head as he watched Ye Tianshui soar into the sky. Instead, he drank his tea calmly until his fat figure landed on the ground.
Ye Tianshui had long since released his shock from his previous actions. After he stood still, he said with a smile, "Second Uncle, that's just a guess of mine. I've never really dared to make a judgment."
"I'm guessing as well."
Ye Qingfeng continued drinking his tea. "Qingshui City is too sensitive in the eyes of the Ancient Martial Arts World and even the Cultivation World. The Human Emperor and Earth Emperor come out of Qingshui City, and the world depends on one person. Almost all cultivators with sects and legacies have heard of this saying.
"Ling Yun has been hiding it well, but there's one thing he can't hide — his rise is too fast!"
"So Second Uncle deduces that the Emperor Brush and Earth Emperor's Book are with Ling Yun?" Ye Tianshui asked.
Ye Qingfeng nodded before shaking his head. "Not necessarily, but I'm at least sixty percent sure."
Ye Tianshui was finally moved. He understood his Second Uncle. Due to Ye Qingfeng's cautious style, when he said he was sixty percent sure of something, it meant that it was a sure thing.
"Then … what should the Ye Family do? Should we think of a way to snatch it?"
"Why didn't you snatch it tonight?" Ye Qingfeng smiled.
"Second Uncle, I really can't beat him now." Ye Tianshui's shoulders slumped.
"You did the right thing tonight, especially when you admitted that I sent Tiandu to assassinate Chen Jingtian …" Ye Qingfeng chuckled and nodded at his nephew.
"This matter can't be hidden, and there's no need to hide it from him."
"That's because the Ye Family needs to know Ling Yun's attitude, especially after he finds out the truth. We need to observe his reaction."
Ye Tianshui chuckled, causing all the fat on his face to pile together. To outsiders, he looked very silly, but if anyone really thought so, that person would be fooled.
"Treasures like the Emperor Brush and the Earth Emperor's Book all have Artifact Spirits. If they aren't willing to come out, we won't be able to find them even if we dig three feet into the ground."
"There are some things that have their own masters and are destined not to belong to our Ye Clan. Even if we snatch it, it will be useless. Instead, it will harm our clan."
Ye Qingfeng drank another cup of tea, and Ye Tianshui quickly refilled it. Then, Ye Qingfeng put down the teacup and said, "Why do you think Ling Yun wants to destroy the Sun Family?"
"Could it be because of Sun Xing and Zhuang Meifeng, who was forcefully taken away by the Tranquil Sect? Did he just exterminate the entire Sun family without mercy? Or is it because the Sun family played a bunch of ridiculous tricks, such as making him score zero in the college entrance examination … "
"None of them! From a cultivator's point of view, Ling Yun's way of doing things can be considered to be rather law-abiding. He might seem a little ruthless, but he never crossed the line … That's why Ling Yun insisted on eliminating the Sun Family, a conflict that could have been easily resolved. The main reason was that the Sun Family had once sent a large number of people to Qingshui City to express their strong desire for the Emperor Brush and Earth Emperor's Book! "
Ye Tianshui was speechless.
Ye Tianshui was speechless. Even if Ling Yun was present, he would applaud Ye Qingfeng's analysis.
"Of course, Ling Yun might not have realized this himself. He might just be following his instincts …"
Ye Tianshui couldn't help but ask, "Second Uncle, since you have already made your judgment, what do you intend to do next?"
Ye Qingfeng drank his tea calmly and smiled without saying a word.
Seeing that Ye Qingfeng was keeping them in suspense, Ye Tianshui panicked. "Second Uncle?"
"Let's wait and see."
Ye Qingfeng finally said, "We don't have to be anxious because we still have the Long Family. We still need to observe the Long Family's attitude before we can come up with a countermeasure. "
"Whether the Emperor Brush and Earth Emperor's Book appear or not, it won't have much of an impact on the Ye Family. However, it will have a huge impact on the Long Family."
"There are many races of dragons. For example, the dragons in Western legends are completely different from the dragons in Huaxia legends!"
"The True Dragon of Huaxia has always been linked to the Emperor and the Son of Heaven."
"Look at the places that the Long Family has firmly occupied. They covet Emperor Qin's Mausoleum, which the Qin Family has guarded for generations. They want to take care of the Great Wall, the Kunlun Dragon Vein, and protect this capital city …"
"Since ancient times, the Long Family has taken care of almost all the Emperor's Mausoleum. Also, the Long Family would send people to the main Dragon Veins of Huaxia, especially the places where the Dragon Energy gathers."
"What are the Emperor Brush and Earth Emperor's Book? They are the inheritances of the three ancient emperors! Whoever obtains them will be recognized by the three ancient emperors. Hence, they are the Tribulation Takers of Huaxia! "
At this point, Ye Qingfeng smiled and looked at Ye Tianshui. "Tianshui, if Ling Yun really has the Emperor Brush and Earth Emperor's Book, do you think the Ye Family or the Long Family should be anxious?"
Ye Tianshui could only nod and answer honestly, "Of course it's the Long Family."
"But, Second Uncle, why … are you suddenly telling me about these things?"
As the Young Master of the Ye Family, he naturally knew about the legends of the Emperor Brush and Earth Emperor's Book. However, he had only heard about them from time to time. The elders in the family had never told him about them seriously, but this time, Ye Qingfeng actually told him everything. There must be a deeper meaning behind it.
Ye Qingfeng smiled. "Didn't I say it just now? It's because you performed well tonight!"
"Tonight, when Ling Yun went to find trouble with you, you tolerated him and dealt with him flawlessly. Second Uncle is very gratified. This means that you are truly capable of taking on great responsibilities."
Ye Tianshui scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. "Second Uncle, I'm a little embarrassed by your praise. That guy is really too difficult to deal with. Actually … actually, I almost couldn't control myself."
"It's not easy for you to endure it."
Ye Qingfeng nodded. "Second Uncle told you so much tonight because Huaxia is going to change!"
Huaxia was going to change!
This time, it was said personally by the head of the Ye Family, Ye Qingfeng!
"Then, Second Uncle, what should I do next?"
Ye Tianshui finally asked about the second reason for his return. He would first report and then ask for instructions.
"What happened in the past will happen in the future. However, you have to make use of your time to cultivate and master the Sword Nurturing Technique. You have to be able to control it as you please so that our Ye Family can remain invincible in this unprecedented turmoil! "
Ye Tianshui's eyes finally revealed a look of determination. "I understand, Second Uncle. I will work hard to cultivate."
Ye Qingfeng smiled. "After you pass the Four Nine Minor Tribulations, I will pass my position as the head of the family to you."
"Ah!"
Ye Tianshui was completely dumbfounded this time.
After a long while, Ye Tianshui waved his hands hurriedly. "Second Uncle, don't joke around. You are still so young. Why are you considering not being the head of the family?"
Ye Tianshui was a little incoherent. After a pause, he sorted out his thoughts and said, "Besides, even if you want to pass on the position of Patriarch, you should pass it on to Tiandu and Tiansheng. They are much stronger than me."
Ye Qingfeng remained calm and observed Ye Tianshui carefully. After confirming that Ye Tianshui really didn't want to accept the position of Patriarch, Ye Qingfeng smiled in relief. "It seems that our Ye Family's tradition can't be changed. No one in every generation is willing to be the Patriarch."
Ye Tianshui thought to himself, How tiring is that? Only a ghost would want to be the head of the family.
Of course, he would not dare to say such words in front of Ye Qingfeng.
At this moment, Ye Qingfeng appeared to be a little dispirited. He said helplessly, "But there's no other way. Right now, the situation in Beijing has already been formed. The current head of the Ling Family is that brat Ling Yun. If you don't become the head of the family, do you expect me to personally face that brat during the annual family meeting?"
"Uh …"
Ye Tianshui was speechless.
So that was what Second Uncle was thinking. He was worried about his seniority and did not want to face Ling Yun directly.
"However, it is still too early to talk about this. We will talk about it when the time comes."
Fortunately, Ye Qingfeng did not say too much on this topic. He only told Ye Tianshui in advance so that he could be mentally prepared.
Ye Tianshui finally heaved a sigh of relief. He asked respectfully, "So, Second Uncle, what is our attitude towards the Ling Family in the future?"
Ye Qingfeng sighed and said, "If we don't want to fight with the Ling Family to a lose-lose situation, we can only wait and see for now."
"Are we not even going to test the Ling Family?" Ye Tianshui asked.
Ye Qingfeng smiled bitterly. "I have this intention, but your aunt is firmly against it. What do you think I can do?"
