Ye Zhen thought that she was like an ant in the Ye family and no one would pay attention to her. Not long after she returned to the small courtyard, a little maid came to find her, saying that the eldest master wanted to see her.
Eldest master? She seemed to have seen him yesterday in the Square Garden. He must be Ye Mulan's father.
"Okay, I got it." Ye Zhen said lightly. After a simple cleaning, she went to the front yard to see Ye Shizhong.
In addition to Ye Shizhong, Ye Wei was also in the study.
Unlike yesterday, when she was ignored, when Ye Zhen just walked into the study, Ye Shizhong and Ye Wei looked at her with sharp eyes.
Before today, the only thing they knew about this girl was that she was a good-for-nothing without a spiritual root. That was why they had ignored her for so many years. Even if she was taken away by a nanny who harbored evil intentions, it wouldn't matter to the Ye Family.
Originally, they thought that as long as they let Ye Zhen enjoy a few days of high status, she would be grateful and agree to any conditions. Until today, when they heard that she could make the Luan Bird surrender without doing anything, they had no choice but to pay attention to this girl again.
"What do you want from me?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice. She didn't know why, but when she saw Ye Shizhong, she would think of her uncle Ye Yisong. She always felt that they were the same kind of person.
"I heard that you made the Luan stop in your hand today?" Ye Shizhong asked in a deep voice. He knew that the Luan was a high-grade spiritual beast. It was difficult to make the Luan recognize a master without reaching the Qing Realm. But Ye Zhen didn't even have spiritual roots. How did she do it?
Was there something she was hiding from them?
Ye Zhen whispered, "It stopped by itself. I didn't do anything."
"Haven't you learned how to control beasts?" Ye Wei looked at Ye Zhen suspiciously. To be able to make the Luan stop on its own initiative, it was definitely not something that anyone could do.
"No." Ye Zhen said, "Maybe … I often live with birds and beasts in the forest, so the Luan doesn't think I'm a threat."
This explanation sounded ridiculous, but it seemed to be true.
Ye Shizhong and his son looked at each other. If this was the case, then there was nothing to worry about.
"Are you used to living at home?" Ye Shizhong asked.
"Not really." Ye Rou replied. Now that she knew what they wanted to use her for, she couldn't even be bothered to pretend to be nice to them.
No wonder the original owner used her as a substitute. He must have known that the Ye Family was a dangerous place, so he refused to come back.
"You have only been back for a day. Naturally, you are not used to it. It will be better in the future." Ye Shizhong said with a smile, trying to let Ye Zhen feel his gentleness.
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "I'm still more used to life in the mountains."
"You are the daughter of the Ye family. How can you live in the forest?" Ye Wei frowned and scolded.
"Don't you want to go to the family school?" Ye Shizhong asked with a smile, "If you live in the forest, you are just a mortal without any cultivation. Don't you want to avenge your parents?"
No! They weren't her parents! She had been used by the original owner.
Ye Zhen did not answer, just lowered her head.
"I'll let you go to the family school for lessons in two days. Go back now." Ye Shizhong felt that his niece's character was really unlikable. He had already said so much, but she still looked indifferent. If it was someone else, they would definitely be deeply grateful to them.
"Good." Ye Zhen nodded gently. In fact, she wanted to know who she was going to marry and what kind of existence Haotian City was. However, even if she asked, she didn't seem to have any ability to resist.
Watching Ye Zhen leave the study, Ye Wei frowned and said, "Father, are you really going to let Ye Zhen go to the family school?"
Ye Shizhong glanced at him indifferently. "She has no spiritual roots. When she goes to the family school, the teaching elders will not accept her."
"But the Luan stopped in her hands." Ye Wei said in a low voice, "If she can make the Luan submit to her even though she doesn't have any cultivation, grandfather will look at her differently."
Once grandfather felt that Ye Zhen was useful, he would probably not let her marry Mulan to Haotian City.
"Your grandfather doesn't know about this yet. Hide it first. Don't let him know." Ye Shizhong said lightly. Ye Mulan was the apple of his eye. He was absolutely reluctant to send her to Haotian City for marriage.
"Good." Ye Wei nodded.
After two days, Ye Zhen did not leave the small courtyard. On the fourth day of her arrival, she finally had to go to the family school.
"Third sister." Ye Mulan, who had not appeared for two days, waved at Ye Zhen. "Today is your first day at the family school. You have to test your spiritual roots first to determine which school you will be assigned to. Don't be nervous. Besides you, there are others who will also have their spiritual roots tested today."
"Oh." Ye Zhen was really a little nervous. She was afraid that people would find out that she was from the human world. At that time, she would definitely be in danger.
Ye Mulan affectionately held Ye Zhen's hand. "Let's go. I also want to go to the family school today."
"Are you also attending classes at the family school?" Ye Zhen asked.
"I've already entered the Holy Sect. I don't need to go to the family school anymore." Ye Mulan's mouth rose high. "If third sister studies well, you will soon be selected by the Holy Sect."
Ye Zhen clenched her fists. She had no interest in entering the family school, but she wanted to go to the Holy Sect!
The Ye family school was in the front yard. From the backyard to the family school, if there was no carriage, it would take half a day to walk.
The family school was very large, and because everyone practiced different cultivation methods, it was divided into different areas. The Ye family school was very famous in the Western Continent City. In addition to the younger generation of the Ye family, there were also children from other families.
Although it was called the family school, it looked more like an academy.
"Big brother." Ye Mulan and Ye Zhen had just gotten off the carriage when they saw Ye Wei standing by the door.
"Lan 'er, why are you here?" Ye Wei was stunned when he saw Ye Mulan and did not notice Ye Zhen standing behind her.
Ye Mulan smiled and said, "I accompanied third sister here. Today is third sister's first day at the family school."
"Well, go in. The test is about to begin." Ye Wei said without looking at Ye Zhen.
"Sister Lan." Ye Baoyi's carriage arrived. When she saw Ye Mulan, her face carried a flattering smile.
Ye Mulan smiled, "Baoyi, didn't you already enter the Holy Sect? Why are you still here?"
"Today is my sister's test. Although the test showed that she has a fire attribute spirit root, the rules of the family school cannot be broken. She still has to take the test." Ye Baoyi said proudly. Beside her stood a young girl who was looking at Ye Mulan and Ye Zhen with a smile.
"That's just right. Third sister is also going to take the test. Baoping, you can accompany her." Ye Mulan smiled.
Ye Baoping looked at Ye Zhen, "Yes, Sister Lan."
"Third sister is here too." Ye Baoyi glanced at Ye Zhen, "I hope you won't be disappointed."
"Sister, let's go in." Ye Baoping whispered.
Ye Baoyi ignored Ye Zhen and asked Ye Mulan with a smile, "Sister Lan, I heard that the Luan recognized you as its master?"
