The sister-in-law Ye Qingfeng mentioned was, of course, his biological sister, Ye Qingxin.
He was also one of the two people who watched the entire battle from the sky on the night of the life-and-death battle between Ling Yun and Sun Chen.
"My aunt?"
Ye Tianshui was a little surprised. "Second Uncle, there's something I don't understand. Why is my aunt so nice to the Ling Family?"
Actually, this brat was cunning. He asked this question with the intention of feigning ignorance, but he needed to immediately clarify some facts.
Was Ye Tianshui really afraid of Ling Yun given the Ye Family's background and his own strength?
No, he tolerated Ling Yun mainly because of his aunt's attitude towards the Ling Family and because he really liked Ling Xiu.
That was because Ye Tianshui really liked Ling Xiu. He was the leader of the younger generation of the Ye Family, and Ling Xiu was the eldest sister of the younger generation of the Ling Family. It would be fine if he failed to pursue Ling Xiu, but what if he succeeded?
That would mean that the Ye Family and the Ling Family would form an alliance.
That was why Ye Tianshui refused to relent and refused to give up on liking Ling Xiu. Only after obtaining Ling Yun's tacit approval did he rush home to confirm with Ye Qingfeng the Ye Family's strategic attitude towards the Ling Family.
However, after Ye Qingfeng analyzed the situation for a long time, he finally expressed that he would wait and see how the Ling family would react. Actually, this was the attitude of the Ye family before the life-and-death battle between the Ling family and Sun Chen. Moreover, this had been the attitude of the Ye family towards the Ling family for the past 20 years.
Ye Qingfeng's style was to operate in the dark and rarely confront the Ling Family head-on!
What use was that to Ye Tianshui? Therefore, when he heard that Ye Qingfeng finally mentioned Ye Qingxin, he immediately seized the opportunity. This time, he had to get something useful out of him.
"You juniors shouldn't pry into the affairs of the adults."
Ye Qingfeng glared at Ye Tianshui and rebuffed the question with a single sentence.
"Oh."
Ye Tianshui was unwilling, but Ye Qingfeng didn't want to talk about it. He also knew that he wouldn't get an answer, so he could only agree honestly.
However, Ye Tianshui quickly threw out another question. "Second Uncle, on the night of the deathmatch, Auntie went to watch the battle. What kind of strength did she see?"
"Very strong."
Ye Qingfeng raised his eyebrows slightly. "The current Ling Yun is already a threat to most of the Ye Family. Of course, it's the same for the Long Family."
"However, your aunt was a little secretive about the battle that night. There were many parts that she didn't elaborate on. She only described Ling Yun's general strength and said that his true strength was enough to kill an expert in the fifth tier of Divine Power Realm, which is the middle stage of Qi Cultivation.
"Tsk tsk …"
Ye Tianshui couldn't help but ask, "So the first thing my aunt did when she came back was to warn us not to provoke Lingyun and not to go against him head-on?"
"This is for your own good," said Ye Qingfeng helplessly. If you go looking for trouble with Ling Yun because of your competitiveness, and if there are any casualties, there will be no room for reconciliation between us and the Ling Family. "
"Hehe, little aunt still favors our family."
Ye Tianshui sighed. Then, he lowered his voice and asked, "Second Uncle, the Long family's patriarch personally went to the Long family's side for the deathmatch that night. Why didn't you go and take a look yourself?"
Ye Qingfeng was a little annoyed. "Nonsense, why are you still asking when you already know the answer? How can I go if your aunt wants to go? Don't tell me I have to fight with your sister-in-law first? "
"Of course not."
Ye Tianshui laughed inwardly. Of course, he knew that Ye Qingfeng was at a disadvantage when it came to who was going to watch the battle.
"Alright, you don't have to test me anymore, kid."
Ye Qingfeng immediately revealed Ye Tianshui's purpose with a smile. "I heard that you have a thing for that girl, Ling Xiu, right?"
Ye Tianshui's chubby face turned a little red when Ye Qingfeng exposed him. However, he still nodded firmly even though he was embarrassed.
"Ling Xiu is indeed a good girl."
Ye Qingfeng smiled. "Unlike the Sun and Chen families, the Ye Family and the Ling Family don't have an irreconcilable enmity like others think! There must be a reason for what happened back then. There are too many inside stories, and I can't explain them to you right now.
If you really like Ling Xiu, Second Uncle won't stop you, and the Ye Family won't stop you, you can go after her. However … "
Ye Tianshui was overjoyed when he heard that Ye Qingfeng actually wanted him to go after Ling Xiu. However, his heart turned cold when he heard Ye Qingfeng's change of topic. He immediately asked, "However what?"
Ye Qingfeng sized up Ye Tianshui's chubby figure. "However, you've developed such a fat body because you've been nurturing your sword for a long time. I'm afraid it'll be very difficult for you to succeed if you go after her like this …"
Ye Tianshui wanted to cry. "Second Uncle, you're too much of a blow to me."
"Haha."
Ye Qingfeng chuckled and said happily, "Fortunately, you've already mastered nurturing your sword. Once you pass the Four Nine Minor Heavenly Tribulation, you'll be able to get rid of this burden. You might really have a chance then."
"Hehe, thank you for your encouragement, Second Uncle!"
Ye Tianshui naturally knew how his fat body came about. He actually didn't mind being mocked for being fat. Of course, it also depended on who the other party was.
"Come, spar with Second Uncle. Let me see exactly what realm you're at now."
Ye Qingfeng picked up his teacup and took a sip, but he didn't put it down.
"Hehe, then Second Uncle has to be careful!"
Ye Tianshui also sat motionless. After he responded, in the next moment, his fat body that was like a mountain of flesh suddenly released a powerful sword essence!
In an instant, the entire courtyard was affected by this powerful sword intent. It became sharp and murderous, and the sword intent soared into the sky!
Countless green leaves fell from the lush trees in the courtyard even though there was no wind.
However, Ye Qingfeng wasn't affected by this powerful sword intent at all. He was still calmly drinking his tea. At the same time, he smiled and praised, "Yes, this sword intent is enough. Not bad."
Whoosh!
Whoosh! Before Ye Qingfeng finished speaking, two beams of sword qi suddenly emerged from Ye Tianshui's fat body. They were like tangible sharp swords that pierced through the night sky. They were as fast as lightning and stabbed toward Ye Qingfeng!
Ding! Ding!
Ye Qingfeng only raised his hand slightly. The teacup in his hand swayed slightly and blocked the two beams of sword qi with a crisp sound!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Four even more powerful beams of sword qi rushed out of Ye Tianshui's body and stabbed at Ye Qingfeng from tricky angles.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
Ye Qingfeng smiled and continued to block with the teacup in his hand. None of them missed and he easily blocked all four beams of sword qi.
The four beams of sword qi were all dispersed. What was even more terrifying was that Ye Qingfeng didn't spill a single drop of tea despite his swift movements.
Ye Tianshui had clearly experienced this many times. He wasn't shocked at all. Instead, he got up in a flash and his fat body suddenly closed in on Ye Qingfeng. At the same time, nine beams of sword qi emerged from his body!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Nine powerful beams of sword qi attacked Ye Qingfeng at the same time!
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
Eight consecutive crisp sounds were heard. Ye Qingfeng had to wave his left hand and casually disperse Ye Tianshui's final beam of sword qi.
"Good lad. You can actually release nine beams of sword qi at the same time! Take this move from me too! "
Ye Qingfeng was full of praise. His right hand was still holding the teacup. With a thought, the tea in the teacup spilled out at the same time and instantly turned into twelve water swords that were as thick as hair in the air. All of them were pointed at Ye Tianshui!
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, the twelve water swords stabbed at Ye Tianshui's body at the same time.
Ye Tianshui's fat body suddenly retreated. At the same time, a violent beam of sword qi rushed out of his body and instantly turned into a broadsword that blocked in front of him like a wide door.
"Hehe, can you block it?"
Ye Qingfeng smiled casually. He suddenly extended his left hand and made a grabbing motion in front of him. In an instant, five water swords were controlled by him and retreated rapidly in the air. Then, Ye Qingfeng suddenly opened his palm!
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Seven of the twelve water swords stabbed the broadsword in front of Ye Tianshui. The other five water swords bypassed the broadsword and rapidly stabbed at Ye Tianshui's body from five different directions.
Bang, bang, bang …
Ye Tianshui couldn't dodge at all. He could only wave his palms wildly and dissipate the five incoming sword qi.
Ye Qingfeng didn't attack again. At this time, he had already poured himself another cup of tea and continued to drink it calmly.
"Not bad. Both your sword intent and control of sword qi have improved greatly."
Ye Qingfeng took another sip of tea before he began to comment.
Then, he raised his head and looked at Ye Tianshui. "Look around."
Ye Tianshui looked around and realized that the ground around the courtyard was already covered in a layer of green leaves. However, almost none of them were intact. Every leaf had traces of being cut by a sword.
"It's hard to calm down. I still can't control it as I wish!"
Ye Tianshui sighed with a bitter smile.
"Sword intent can cut down leaves and sword qi can be shot out from all parts of the body. It's already very good."
Ye Qingfeng was very satisfied with Ye Tianshui's performance.
"However, Second Uncle would still like to see you use your twelve strands of sword qi to block my twelve water swords."
"Uh …"
Ye Tianshui clicked his tongue inwardly. Second Uncle's expectations were too high.
Ye Qingfeng put down his teacup and willed.
Whoosh!
All the fallen leaves on the ground rose at the same time and spun in the air, quickly condensing into a green broadsword!
Ye Qingfeng smiled. He reached out to form a sword seal and gently guided the green broadsword that had just condensed.
The huge sword formed from countless leaves shot straight up into the night sky, and then turned in a different direction, flying off to some unknown place.
The ground in the courtyard was clean, as if nothing had happened.
Ye Qingfeng had displayed the strength of the peak of Divine Power Realm!
"Tianshui, I heard you say that Ling Yun wants to participate in our Ye Family's ancient martial arts auction?"
