"Sister, I'm hungry."
"Let's go eat." Ye Shuiyao said without raising her head. Her gaze was fixed on the two lotuses that Ye Wuchen had just drawn. Even she herself didn't understand why she insisted on painting the 'Twin Lotus Flowers'.
"This … Xue 'er and I would like to have a meal with big sister. Is it okay if we eat here?" Ye Wuchen asked eagerly, looking like an obedient little brother.
Ye Shuiyao put down her paintbrush and walked out of the room with light steps. Her blue dress carried a light fragrance. This was the mellow fragrance of a girl. Just this fragrance alone made Ye Wuchen's heart race. He couldn't help but think of that breathtakingly beautiful body that night … and the touch.
When she came back, she was holding a wooden box filled with dishes. She placed it in front of Ye Wuchen and Ningxue. Her three meals a day were sent by a servant girl. She rarely ate at the same table with her family. As time passed, she and her family got used to it.
"You guys eat."
"Then what do you want to eat, Sister?"
"I'm not hungry."
"… I'll ask Little Green to secretly send me and Ningxue's portion. They probably won't find out."
… …
The small table that Ye Shuiyao usually used was now filled with three people. Ye Wuchen and Ningxue were squeezed to one side. Opposite them was Ye Shuiyao, who was drinking gently with her head down. The small bowl in front of Ningxue was always filled with Ye Wuchen's food. She was already used to her brother's pampering, so she chewed slowly. Ye Wuchen's gaze fell on Ye Shuiyao's face most of the time. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Don't look at me all the time." Ye Shuiyao finally couldn't stand his gaze and said in a low voice.
"Because you look really good when you're eating. I should say that you look good no matter when you eat. Isn't that right, Xue 'er? "Ye Wuchen said with a smile.
"Yes! You're the prettiest, "Ningxue said in a crisp voice.
Ye Shuiyao was silent, but her heartbeat suddenly quickened.
"Sister, why do you always like to be alone? Don't you like to eat with your family?"
"… I'm used to it."
"In that case, Cher and I will come to stay with you more often, okay?"
Ye Shuiyao gently fiddled with the white jade chopsticks in her hand, as if she didn't hear what he said. After a long time, Ye Wuchen finally heard a soft "hmm" from her. Her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
For the whole afternoon, Ye Wuchen painted and danced with Ye Shuiyao in her room. He had no idea that his nominal parents were both mentally and physically exhausted. Their expressions had completely stiffened.
On the other hand …
"Wisdom Imbuement? Sword God actually had such ability. Hmph, so that's how it is. No wonder he could have such amazing strength and talent in such a short time. Why does Sword God value this kid so much? "
"This subordinate doesn't know."
"Then why is he not afraid of fire?"
"According to him, Sword God gave him something to eat, which made him impervious to fire and water for three months."
"I see. Sword God is indeed Sword God. He actually has such a divine item. Then why is he concealing his aura? "
"This, they didn't mention."
"Hmph, Ye Nu and Ye Wei have extremely strong battlefield commanding abilities, but they don't know much about martial arts. It's normal that they can't ask such a question. However, since the kid from the Yeh family said this in front of you, it means that he shouldn't be suspicious of you. There's no reason for him to be suspicious of you. No matter how smart he is, it's impossible for him to see through you, a chess piece that was buried seamlessly for more than ten years. It's just that your existence and contributions over the years will inevitably cause him to be dissatisfied. From now on, you should consolidate your position in the Yeh family. Try not to come into contact with him, and don't get into any conflicts. Make a concession. "
"Then what do you plan to do next, Master?"
"The Yeh family has been loyal for generations. They have countless military achievements, and their reputation is like the sun in the sky, even slightly overshadowing the royal family. If the Yeh family wants to rebel, with their reputation and military power, even the royal family will not be able to stop them. Therefore, although I know their loyalty, I can't be at ease. This … is the helplessness of an emperor. The Yeh family is a threat, but I can't openly target the Yeh family, and I can't lay my hands on Ye Wei and Ye Nu. I have to do my best to protect them. Because Tenryū Province needs them. Without them, the restless Dafeng Country will definitely be overjoyed. I originally wanted you to quietly take control of the Yeh family, but I didn't expect the Yeh family to have such a genius. If the Yeh family continues to prosper in his hands, I won't be able to eat and sleep in peace. I must get rid of him! "
"What should I do?"
"You don't need to do anything. I will find someone to contact the number one assassin — Tao Baibai!"
"Tao Baibai? The number one assassin Tao Baibai, who even the Heaven-ranked High Lord Soaring Cloud couldn't escape from his assassination? "
"That's right! Rumor has it that as long as he takes on a mission, he has never failed. This time, the target is only a Level Ten, so he has no reason not to take on the mission. This mission will be flawless. Even if the Sword God investigates, he will only find an insignificant scapegoat. "
"Master is wise! The Yeh family's son will not be able to escape this time! "
…
In the afternoon, when Ye Wuchen and Ningxue finally returned to the courtyard, they found Wang Wenshu leisurely drinking tea in his room, waiting for them to return.
"Chen'Er, Ningxue, you're finally back. Take a seat. Little Green, you can leave first. "
As soon as Ye Wuchen sat down, Wang Wenshu asked, "Chen'Er, do you know what happened today?"
"I know a little," Ye Wuchen said carefully. Thinking back to what he had seen, he was still trembling with fear. He wanted to treat it calmly, but he found it difficult to do so. After all, he would never have encountered such a "fierce" thing in his previous world.
"It's good that you know. Those who dare to take the initiative to come to my Yeh family to propose marriage are all the most powerful people in Sky Dragon City. I've seen the girls from these families. They are all born in wealthy families. They have good looks and temperament. Usually, they would break the doorsill to propose marriage. I'm thinking, why don't you marry all of them. "
Ye Wuchen's eyes widened. He almost thought that there was something wrong with his ears. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't … don't joke around. How can I do that?"
"Why not? My son is so outstanding. A few more wives and concubines are nothing. They all said that they would marry no one else but you, so you don't have to worry about them being dissatisfied. After all, they came to you on their own accord. Moreover, each of them has great power behind them. Some of them are only children. If you marry all of them, who would dare to provoke my Yeh family in the future? Chen'Er, you're not young anymore. It's time for you to marry a wife and concubine. You can't wait until Flying Phoenix marries you in three years. Even if it's for the sake of the Yeh family, it's good to sacrifice it once. "
