Azure Sky City, Yeh family.
When Ye Xing was recruited into the Purple Mountain Academy's genius class, the Yeh family celebrated. Only at night did Ye Xing return to his residence.
Although it was said to be a celebration, it wasn't. There were always some people who hated Ye Xing's glory.
In the darkness, in the shadows, there was always a pair of eagle-like eyes staring at Ye Xing. Their eyes contained deep hatred.
"Ye Xing, if you don't die, even if this old man enters the grave in the future, I won't be able to rest in peace!" Ye Wenying's heart was filled with hatred for Ye Xing.
First, Ye Wenying suspected that Ye Xing had killed Ye Yunkong in the Azure Sky Mountain Range. At first, it was only a suspicion, but after a long time, it became a fact in his heart.
Second, Ye Wenying had been heavily injured by Ye Xing in front of everyone. As an elder of the family, he had lost all face.
These two reasons made Ye Wenying hate Ye Xing so much that he wanted to die.
Ye Xing had already noticed Ye Wenying's secret stares. With the super brain's scan, it was clear as day.
Ye Xing didn't put Ye Wenying in his heart. Although he hated Ye Xing, he was still an elder of the family. As long as Ye Wenying didn't provoke him, Ye Xing couldn't be bothered to care about him.
"Ye Feng, tomorrow morning, go to the Martial Arts Hall and challenge the top ten ordinary disciples. After you become a disciple of the Martial Arts Hall, take a leave and come back to Green Leaf Village with me."
In his residence, Ye Xing instructed Ye Feng.
Counting the time, it had already been over three months since he and Ye Feng left Green Leaf Village and arrived at Azure Sky City.
Going to the Indigo Mountain Academy to study, he wouldn't be able to return to Azure Sky City for a long period of time. Therefore, Ye Xing took advantage of the three days of family visit before going to the Indigo Mountain Academy to make a trip back to Green Leaf Village, bringing Ye Feng along with him.
Although his feelings for Ye Feihong and Liu E were very faint, Green Leaf Village was, after all, the place where he first came to the Star Continent.
Moreover, he had taken over the body of Ye Feihong's son after all. During this period of time in Celestial Azure City, some of the dissatisfaction he had towards Ye Feihong and Liu E had already faded with time. Before he left Celestial Azure City, it was only right for him to go back and visit them.
After Ye Feng left, Ye Xing did not rest. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and started cultivating the QingYuan Art.
Today's continuous battles, especially the battle with Wei Qingxuan, gave Ye Xing a lot of benefits. Not only did his martial skill attainment increase greatly, the internal energy in his body was also greatly tempered, and there was a tendency for his cultivation to rise.
Ye Xing wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to raise his cultivation to the peak of the fifth layer tonight.
Ye Xing had already cultivated the QingYuan Art to the third layer, opening twelve meridians in his body, and cultivating his internal energy at a remarkable speed.
In a mere four hours, Ye Xing's cultivation had successfully reached the peak of the fifth layer. Once he reached this realm, he would be able to consolidate his cultivation to the peak of the fifth layer in a short period of time, rushing towards the peak of the sixth layer of the Martial Path.
Ye Xing was very confident. His astrology was extraordinary, and he cultivated the QingYuan Art, a high-grade cultivation technique. Breaking through to the sixth layer of the Martial Path was definitely not a difficult matter. It was only a matter of time.
The night passed in silence.
The next day, Ye Feng did not go to the cafeteria to chop firewood. Instead, he went to the Martial Arts Hall to challenge the disciples there.
Ye Feng's cultivation had already reached the peak of the fourth layer of the Heavenly Monarch Realm. Furthermore, he had mastered a mid-tier Body Refinement Technique and a full-mastery low-tier Martial Skill. With his strength, he could easily challenge the elite disciples. Challenging the top ten ordinary disciples was a piece of cake.
For such a small matter, Ye Xing did not join in the fun. Instead, he went to the Ye Clan's weapon shop in Azure Sky City and bought a three cauldron strong bow, the Dragon Tendon Bow, as well as a quiver of Black Edge Arrows.
The Dragon Tendon Bow had a resounding name, but it was not a bow made of real dragon tendons. Instead, it was made of the tendons of high level vicious beasts, and coupled with high grade treasure metal, its power was extremely terrifying.
The strength of one cauldron was one thousand two hundred jin! The strength of three cauldrons was one thousand six hundred jin!
The Three Cauldron Strong Bow was not something that an average person could use. There were many martial artists below the seventh level who could pull the Three Cauldron Strong Bow, but those who could use the Three Cauldron Strong Bow to kill enemies were few and far between.
One arrow with one thousand six hundred jin of strength had a terrifying penetrative power. Even a seventh layer martial dao master would be moved, and for a sixth layer martial artist, it was definitely a fatal blow.
Especially the Black Edge Arrows that came with the Dragon Tendon Bow. They were also made of high grade treasure metal, sturdy, sharp, and a type of killing weapon.
In the Ye Clan's weapon shop, the Dragon Tendon Bow was already the highest grade treasure bow, worth hundreds of thousands of silvers.
However, Ye Xing, as a student of the Purple Mountain Academy's Gifted Class, had an extraordinary status in the Ye Clan. Naturally, he only needed to buy it at the original price, which was forty percent cheaper.
Becoming a student of the Gifted Class allowed Ye Xing to receive a large amount of clan contribution points as a reward. He used a portion of the contribution points to buy the Dragon Tendon Bow, not even spending a single silver.
By the time Ye Xing returned with the Dragon Tendon Bow and Black Edge Arrows, Ye Feng had already become a disciple of the Martial Arts Hall.
When Ye Feng arrived at the Martial Arts Hall, he directly challenged the number one ordinary disciple. He won the battle and became the new number one ordinary disciple. In addition, he was Ye Xing's cousin, so he was in the limelight among the ordinary disciples.
How could such a person continue to chop firewood in the cafeteria? Naturally, he was accepted into the Martial Arts Hall and focused on nurturing. Ye Feng asked the Martial Arts Hall Master for leave and returned to Qingye Village with Ye Xing. The Martial Arts Hall Master naturally agreed without a second word.
At noon, Ye Xing and Ye Feng each took a horse from the family and left the Yeh family, heading towards Qingye Village.
When they came from Qingye Village, they took a carriage and walked on the main road. It took them a day to reach Azure Sky City.
Ye Xing only had a total of three days to visit his family. Naturally, he didn't want to waste time on the road. He directly urged his horse forward and walked on the small roads. It only took them less than four hours to reach Qingye Village.
Not long after they left the Yeh family, Ye Xing discovered that someone was secretly following them from afar. It was Ye Wenying.
Ye Wenying was also riding a horse and was about four to five li away from Ye Xing and Ye Feng. Ye Feng naturally didn't notice the figure that was almost a black dot in the distance. Even if he did, he wouldn't be able to recognize who it was. It wasn't the other party, but someone who was following them.
But Ye Xing's gaze could see Ye Wenying clearly from afar.
Ye Xing stroked the Dragon Tendon Bow and the corner of his mouth curled up, revealing a trace of a smile.
From the looks of it, Ye Wenying seemed to be plotting something against him. This made Ye Xing happy instead of worried. He didn't like Ye Wenying, but the other party was an elder of the family. Ye Xing couldn't be bothered to deal with him.
However, if the other party took the initiative to offend him, then it would be exactly what Ye Xing wanted. It would be perfectly justifiable for him to get rid of him.
"Brother Xing, I'm afraid that everyone in Qingye Village didn't expect that you would have today's glory. Hehe … when they know that you've become the number one person in the younger generation of the Ye Clan and have been accepted as a student of the Purple Mountain Academy's Gifted Class, how will they react?"
Ye Feng urged his horse forward and walked side by side with Ye Xing. He was very excited and also very happy. He excitedly laughed loudly.
"Hahahaha …! I can imagine how shocked they will be, especially the head elder. He thought that Ye Qing would have great prospects in the main family and would surpass you. But in the end, he became a good-for-nothing. He can't even compare to Brother Xing's shoes …! "
Ye Xing faintly smiled. Ye Feng's words were all true. He wasn't deliberately flattering him. He thought of his own changes in the past three months and his heart was also very happy.
Now that he was urging his horse forward, his heart was even more carefree. It was a kind of pleasure of traveling through the Jianghu. This kind of feeling, on Earth, could only be found in novels and fantasy worlds. But the feeling was far from being as intense as experiencing it in person.
Looking at the smiling and happy Ye Feng, Ye Xing laughed and said, "Hehe … Ye Qing is now very far away from you. If they knew that you've already become the number one of the Ye Clan's ordinary disciples, tsk tsk … they would also be shocked."
Ye Xing's words touched the excitement in Ye Feng's heart. His smile instantly became ten times brighter.
Thinking of how he had become outstanding in the main family and how carefree he would be when he returned and how his parents would be proud of him, Ye Feng was naturally very excited and couldn't contain his joy.
However, no matter how excited and happy he was, Ye Feng would never forget who had made him who he was today.
Ye Feng stopped laughing and said, "This is all thanks to Brother Xing's nurturing. Otherwise, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Ye Xing said, "This is all I can help you with. Your future achievements will still depend on your own efforts."
Ye Feng nodded vigorously and said, "Yes! I will definitely work hard and follow Brother Xing's example to make a name for myself in Tiancang City. "
Ye Xing smiled and looked back again. He looked into the distance and found that Ye Wenying had disappeared.
Not long after, Ye Xing looked back again and still didn't find Ye Wenying. This made him feel a little strange.
In the following period of time, Ye Xing looked back many times, but Ye Wenying didn't appear again. Ye Xing was basically sure that Ye Wenying didn't continue to follow them. Otherwise, Ye Wenying wouldn't know that he could look into the distance and wouldn't hide when he looked back. This made Ye Xing feel a little regretful.
Taking the small path from Tiancang City back to Qingye Village, they mostly walked through the mountains. After two hours, Ye Xing and Ye Feng had already covered two thirds of the distance. At this time, he had the feeling that he was being watched.
Ye Xing looked back and didn't find anything strange. Then, he looked in all directions and even scanned a radius of several hundred meters. He still didn't find anything that was watching him.
This made Ye Xing feel strange, but he soon realized something and raised his head to look at the sky.
In the sky behind him, Ye Xing finally found the thing that was watching him. It was a fierce bird with a wingspan of more than fifty feet.
Ye Xing had ridden on a flying bird before and immediately reacted. There must be a martial artist riding on this fierce bird. Otherwise, why would the other party's gaze be locked on him from afar when he had no enmity with this fierce bird?
Ye Feng saw Ye Xing looking back at the sky with a strange expression. He also looked back and asked, "What's wrong, Brother Xing?"
He couldn't see as far as Ye Xing. He could only see that there seemed to be a black dot in the sky. It should be a flying bird.
"Ye Feng, I'm afraid we're in trouble. This fierce bird is controlled by a martial artist. It should be coming for us …!"
Ye Xing signaled Ye Feng to stop. No matter how fast a horse ran, it couldn't be faster than a flying bird.
