"Third Sister, this is the Square Garden where grandfather lives. No one can come here without a summon." Ye Mulan walked out of the courtyard with Ye Zhen, a gentle smile on her beautiful face. "I heard that you used to live in the mountains?"
Ye Zhen didn't know what kind of person Ye Mulan was, so she didn't dare to say anything she shouldn't.
"En." Ye Zhen nodded. To be honest, she didn't want to see the head of the Ye Family. What if he found out that she came from the human world?
Ye Mulan looked back at Ye Zhen, thinking that she was nervous and shy. "Don't be afraid. In addition to me, there are several sisters in the family. However, there are only three legitimate children in our family. I am the eldest, and your second sister is now in seclusion. She is going to participate in the competition with the new generation of disciples of the holy sects. My mother is personally supervising her, and it will be a few days before she comes out."
"The competition with the Holy Sects … Is it something that anyone can participate in?" Ye Zhen asked suspiciously. If she wanted to find out the whereabouts of Ming Xi, she must first get close to the Holy Sects. Of course, she wouldn't overestimate herself and think that she could participate in the competition.
Ye Mulan was a little surprised that her cousin would be interested in the competition of the holy sects. She raised her eyes and looked at Ye Zhen. After meeting her for so long, she didn't feel any spiritual power from her cousin. She couldn't even tell what her realm was. It was said that when she was born, she didn't have any spiritual roots. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been abandoned outside for so many years.
However, thinking that Ye Zhen came here because of her, Ye Mulan's smile became more gentle. "That's not it. The Holy Sect will select new disciples from the various families every year. Only those who become the direct disciples of the Holy Sect can compete with the Holy Sects. Do you want to participate?"
She just wanted to go to the Holy Sects to find her son!
"No, I'm just curious." Ye Zhen shook her head gently.
Ye Mulan chuckled, "Actually, I can understand why you want to participate in the Glory Sect competition. After all, second uncle was defeated by people from the Glory Sect. If you can avenge second uncle, grandfather will definitely be very happy."
Back then, Second Uncle was severely injured during the competition. Even if grandfather wanted to take revenge, he couldn't find a junior to vent his anger on. Moreover, it was said that the junior was the son of a Saint Sect's managing elder.
"I haven't practiced any martial arts." Ye Zhen said.
Ye Mulan looked at her in surprise. "Then how did you survive?"
After asking this question, Ye Mulan probably felt that it was too abrupt, so she smiled embarrassedly. "Don't misunderstand me. I saw that you looked like you were 17 or 18 years old, so I thought you were at least in the Initial Realm."
So, how old should she be?
"How old are you?" Ye Zhen blurted out.
Ye Mulan said with a smile, "After this year, I'll be sixty. The girls of the Ye Family have to cultivate to the initial stage before they reach the age of sixty. Even if they can't reach the third stage, they have to at least reach the first stage."
"…" Ye Zhen was completely stunned. Did she hear it wrong? Sixty years old? Was this a joke?
"What's wrong?" Ye Mulan asked with a smile.
"No …" Ye Zhen hurriedly shook her head. She couldn't look at this person from the Xuantian Continent based on the age of the people in the human world. According to Ye Mulan, a girl would only reach marriageable age at the age of sixty, which meant that she had just become an adult.
How old is she?
"This is the courtyard you'll be living in from now on." Ye Mulan pointed at a small courtyard not far away. "This is where Second Uncle and Second Aunt used to live. Your brother has already moved to the front. This place was renovated not long ago. You can stay here when you come back."
Yes, I heard that the original owner had a biological brother. Why didn't he come to see his biological sister when she came back?
"Then … what about my brother?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
Ye Mulan smiled and said, "He's still at the clan school. It's already so late, and he's not back yet. He might have been detained by the elders again today."
"Oh." After all, he was not her brother. Ye Zhen's feelings in her heart were not strong.
"By the way, after talking for so long, I still haven't asked Third Sister. Do you have a name?" Ye Mulan asked.
Ye Zhen said, "My name is Ye Zhen, the Heavenly Peach."
"The Heavenly Peach, Ye Zhenzhen? That's interesting, and the name is quite good. Did your wet nurse give you this name? "Ye Mulan asked with a smile.
"Yeah." Ye Zhen smiled and nodded. Apart from the so-called wet nurse, she didn't know who else could give her a name.
Ye Mulan nodded with a smile. "Well, you must be tired. Go back to the house and rest first. I'll introduce you to other sisters when we go to the clan school in a few days."
"Thank you." Ye Zhen glanced at Ye Mulan. Although everyone's attitude towards her was not too bad after returning, and she was not treated coldly, as a member of a famous family, how could she not feel their indifference towards her?
Leaving no trace of indifference was the most dangerous. She didn't know what she would face next. She could feel their disdain and contempt for her, as if they had no choice but to take her back.
Even if the Ye family was a dragon's pool and tiger's den, she must stay here. Otherwise, she didn't know how to find Ming Xi.
Ye Zhen walked into the small courtyard, but found that there was not even a servant in the yard.
She looked back, but Ye Mulan had already left.
This Ye Mulan … looked gentle and amiable, as if she was very good to her cousin, but that kind of high and mighty attitude was always unintentionally revealed. In her heart, she must have looked down on her younger sister who didn't have any martial skills.
Ye Zhen entered the house. The furnishings here could not be said to be shabby, but it was definitely not the treatment of a legitimate daughter of a large family.
She walked to the octagonal table and wanted to pour a glass of water to drink, but found that there was not a drop of water in it.
After waiting for a long time, a little servant girl finally ran over, panting.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Third Young Lady. This servant is lost." The little servant girl knelt down and begged for mercy.
Ye Rou raised her eyes and quietly sized up this servant girl. She was very thin, with dark skin and rough hands. One look and you could tell that she did rough work. She must have been ordered to serve Ye Rou at the last minute. Although the courtyard was not big, the Ye family treated her really well by giving her such a small servant girl.
"Get up." Ye Zhen said lightly. She would not make things difficult for the little servant girl. Anyway, she was not the real Ye family's daughter. She just wanted to find Ming Xi. "What's your name?"
The little servant girl stood up trembling, not daring to look at Ye Zhen. "This servant doesn't have a name yet. Everyone calls me Big Girl."
"Oh, then I'll give you a name, okay?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Really?" The little servant girl suddenly raised her head and looked at Ye Zhen in disbelief. Then she blushed and shook her head. "Third Young Lady, this servant … this servant doesn't dare …"
Ye Zhen laughed. "I'll call you Hawksbill Turtle."
