By the time he returned to the Ye Mansion, it was almost noon. He walked all the way to the Ye Mansion in deep thought and accidentally bumped into many people. When he arrived at Ye Shuiyao's study, a beautiful figure was concentrating on drawing a green lotus leaf. She didn't react to his arrival at all. Ning Xue, on the other hand, sat quietly on the soft chair, swinging her legs back and forth in boredom. When she saw him return, she immediately jumped up and jumped up, then hung on to him and refused to get down.
Ye Wuchen patted her little butt a few times and then carried her up. He turned to Ye Shuiyao and shouted, "Sister, are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry."
"… Then what do you want to eat?"
"Anything."
When he was talking to Ye Shuiyao, Ye Wuchen's eyes were also paying attention to the movements of her hands. He frowned slightly and put Ningxue down. Then, he walked to Ye Shuiyao's side and reached out to hold her right hand that was holding the brush.
Ye Shuiyao's whole body trembled and for a moment, she forgot to scold or struggle.
"Sister, although your brushwork is exquisite, it will create stiff lines if you are too exquisite. To draw the most natural lotus, you must use the most natural and smooth brushwork according to the lotus in your heart. Otherwise, it will not be a flower, but a painting … "
Ye Wuchen gently held Ye Shuiyao's hand and gently drew the outline with her hand …
The breath that came from him and the warmth from his hand made her heart and mind confused until it became a blank. She could not hear what he was saying, nor could she see what he was doing. It was not until he left with Ningxue that she slowly came back to her senses. On the paper under the brush, a delicate and beautiful lotus had already bloomed.
She sat on the chair behind her absent-mindedly. Her state of mind could not calm down for a long time.
"What's wrong with me …" She touched her chest and asked herself faintly.
At this moment, the marriage between the Lin family's Lin Xiao and the Hua family's Hua Shuirou was already known to everyone. The entire city was abuzz with discussion. The degree of enthusiasm was as if it was some kind of national celebration. Ye Wuchen led Cold Cliffs through the crowd while listening to their conversation with interest. The more the Lin family did this, the more it showed that their minds were in a mess. Ye Wuchen smiled secretly. It seemed that he had really overestimated Lin Xiao.
Cold Cliffs's face was as cold as ever, as if he was wearing a mask made of dead skin. This time, they were still heading towards the Black Forest, and this time, the only thing Ye Wuchen said to him before they left was, "Let's go dig a hole and put some knives in it."
When they came back, it was already close to dusk. At this moment, Cold Cliffs looked at Ye Wuchen with a somewhat strange gaze. He did not know what was wrong with this young master of the Yeh family. He had nothing to do in the daytime, but he went to the Black Forest to dig a hole in the middle of nowhere. He even said that he was exercising and cultivating his character.
The next day, Cold Cliffs almost vomited blood.
"Let's go. Carry two loads of dung, the more the better."
If the other party did not save his and his mother's life, and then heal his mother's eyes, he would not have been able to do anything. Cold Cliffs even had the thought of stabbing him with a knife. But in the end, he could only grit his teeth and carry the two loads with a dark face, following behind Ye Wuchen. Along the way, the pedestrians were all hiding because of the stench. Even with his temperament, he wanted to find a hole to hide in. At the very least, he wanted to cover his face.
In the afternoon, Ye Wuchen finally stopped tormenting Cold Cliffs. Instead, he changed into an inconspicuous outfit and arrived at the Hua family in Celestial Dragon City in a low-profile manner.
The Hua family's residence was obviously smaller than the Yeh family's. The number of people there was also a lot less than the Yeh family's. There was only one person in charge of the Hua family at the moment, and that was Hua Zhentian. Compared to the Yeh family's small population, the Hua family could only be described as miserable. In Hua Zhentian's generation, he was the only son. He only had a daughter when he was in his thirties. The reason why the Hua family was so weak was that his parents passed away too early. Even his wife died in an accident.
Hua Shuirou was Hua Zhentian's only daughter. She was his only family member, and also his only hope. He loved her so much that he spoiled her.
"How do I get in?" Ye Wuchen silently circled around the Hua family's vicinity. He tapped his chin and pondered.
Powerful political families like the Yeh family and the Hua family held great power in their hands. The military they controlled could cause corpses to fly for thousands of miles with a single order. However, they all had an obvious flaw. Although these political families had many elites, they did not have any top-notch elites. Even the Ye Family, which could be said to be the most powerful, only had one Spirit Rank Hidden Guard. This was because the real elites were usually obsessed with martial arts. They were unwilling to be associated with the politics of the officials.
On the other hand, there were some magic and martial arts families scattered around the Tenryū Province. Although they did not have any military power, they only pursued martial arts or magic. Each of them could fight a hundred enemies. Their existence made ordinary people yearn for and even fear them. Although a magic and martial arts family did not have many disciples, the Tenryū clan would not provoke them. Similarly, they did not dare to provoke the Tenryū clan. With the Yeh family's military power, it was easy to destroy any magic and martial arts family. However, they would undoubtedly pay a heavy or light price. The Hua family's military power was far less than the Yeh family's. However, it was rumored that the Hua family had a mysterious troop called 'Heavenly Thunder Hellfire'. Although there were less than a thousand of them, every one of them was imbued with Lei Zhenzi and Fire Poison. Their destructive power was extremely shocking.
Ye Wuchen could leap onto roofs and vault over walls in the Yeh family without being discovered. Naturally, it was not difficult for him to sneak into the Hua family. Otherwise, he would not have come here today.
"… My Second Young Lady likes that painting very much. I beg you to let me see Master Hua."
In front of the Hua family's door, a man dressed as a servant was desperately bowing to the Hua family's guards. It seemed that if he could not complete his mission today, he would be punished when he returned.
"Master Hua is not here! He has already said that no matter who comes to buy it, he will not sell it. You should go back. "The guard waved his hand and said.
"Big brother, please let me see Master Hua." The servant had a fawning expression. At the same time, he secretly stuffed a shiny silver ingot into the guard's hand.
The guard accepted it without batting an eyelid. Before the servant could show any joy on his face, he heard the guard say in all seriousness, "Master Hua is really not here. Even if he is, he will not be able to see everyone who wants to buy the painting. "
The servant opened his mouth and then said with a long face, "Big brother, please tell Master Hua that my Young Lady is willing to pay a hundred thousand taels of silver to buy that painting."
A hundred thousand taels!? This number shocked Ye Wuchen. He thought to himself that these rich young masters and young ladies did not treat money as money. They were actually willing to pay a hundred thousand taels of silver to buy a painting … This money was too easy to earn.
