"Eighth Young Master, Concubine Chen, it's time to eat …" Ye Cai nodded and bowed. Chen Jiuniang's official title had long been taken away, so everyone could only call her Concubine.
"En, Uncle Cai." Ye Kong put down his chopsticks. He was usually very polite to people. He asked, "You came so late, what's the matter? Sit down and talk. "
"This old servant will stand and talk." Ye Cai knew that this brat was a standard dog face. He would turn hostile at any moment, so how would he dare to sit down? He stood politely and said, "Second Madam is afraid that there will be no one to serve here, so she asked this old servant to send two maids over …"
"Oh, then I thank Second Madam for her kindness, but we are used to doing our own work, so we don't need anyone to serve us." Ye Kong quickly refused. It was not that he thought the two maids were ugly, but he did not want others to know that he was an immortal cultivator.
If he accepted the two maids, they would soon find out his secret. The servants were very gossipy. In less than a day, the whole mansion would know, and then the whole city would know. Wasn't that courting death? Ye Kong would not be able to deal with a high realm devil cultivator.
But Ye Cai did not know what he was thinking. He thought that he was unhappy, so he quickly explained, "This old servant deserves to die. Eighth Young Master is a noble, how can you do your own trivial work? If I have neglected you before, I hope Eighth Young Master will not argue with this old servant. "
I am also a noble. Ye Kong laughed and waved his hand, "Uncle Cai, look at what you are saying. You are busy every day, and it is hard enough. Why should I argue with you? But we really don't need these two maids … "Seeing that Ye Cai still wanted to talk, Ye Kong rolled his eyes," If you say you don't want them, then don't want them. How many times do I have to say it? "
These people always fell for this trick. Seeing that he was angry, Ye Cai immediately did not dare to breathe. He thought to himself, 'Sister Ma is so fat, but she was beaten half to death. This old man's bones can't withstand three punches and two kicks.'
He quickly ordered the two maids to leave. These maids in big mansion were also very ambitious. Who didn't want to fly to the top and become a phoenix? The Eighth Young Master's reputation was like the sun at high noon. If she caught his eye …
It wasn't that the two maidservants didn't have any ideas. Before they came, they even dressed up. Who knew that this brat didn't even look at them and just asked them to go back. They were naturally unhappy, but they did not dare to contradict him. When they went back, they would announce that this brat was not interested in women at all. It was not that he was mentally incapable, but that he was physically defective.
Although these two girls talked nonsense behind his back, they also helped Ye Kong from the side. They dispelled the thoughts of many girls in their hearts, and they did not take the initiative to pester him.
Let's talk about Ye Cai. After chasing away the two maids, she smiled charmingly at Ye Kong. It was unknown what she wanted to say.
The hair on Ye Kong's back stood up from his laughter. He thought to himself, "Is this old guy waiting for a tip?" 'Damn it, do you think I'm rich? I didn't do anything and you want a tip!'
Ye Kong thought wrongly. Ye Cai would not dare to take the initiative to ask for a tip. In fact, he came to give money to Ye Kong.
Ye Cai carefully took out a big envelope of silver from his pocket and put it on the table. He smiled charmingly and said, "Eighth Young Master, in the past, this old servant … was afraid that you would be too extravagant, so I secretly took a little from your allowance. In fact, this old servant was kind … keeping it for you. This old servant didn't touch it at all."
Ye Kong suddenly understood. This was the silver that this old guy had been greedy for in the past. It looked like there were two hundred taels. This old guy was really unscrupulous! He actually had the nerve to say that he was keeping it for him.
"Afraid that I would be too extravagant? What's the use of it now? Just keep it. "Ye Kong's expression was unkind.
Ye Cai shivered in fright. He thought to himself, "He didn't know about this. If I took it out, wouldn't I be looking for trouble for myself and confess?"
The old man hurriedly knelt down and begged, "Eighth Young Master, this old servant was muddle-headed and became greedy. I hope that you can let this old servant go on account of the decades of hard work that this old servant has done for the Ye Residence."
Chen Jiuniang's heart softened. She couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted, "Kong 'er, Uncle Cai treated us well. Now that the silver has been taken back, don't bother about it anymore."
"Yes, yes. Thank you, Concubine Chen. I won't dare to do it again."
Ye Kong was actually just scaring him. He nodded and lectured, "There's a song that's sung well. 'Spit out what you've eaten from me. Return what you've taken from me.' But don't be reluctant. You have to know that you were lucky to have the opportunity to make you spit it out … If I didn't let you spit it out even if you wanted to, then you would really be in trouble! "
"Yes, yes, yes. This old servant will never be greedy again. Thank you, Eighth Young Master, for not pursuing this matter."
"That was close …" Ye Cai came out from Ye Kong's courtyard. He wiped his sweat and scolded, "Spit out what you've eaten from me. Return what you've taken from me … There's actually such a song. The person who wrote this song is really lacking in virtue."
Not to mention Ye Cai, Ye Kong still had a few thousand taels of silver from Fan Jiushe in his storage pouch. He didn't care about this small amount of money at all.
On the other hand, Chen Jiuniang was very happy. It wasn't because she was greedy for money, but because she had finally saved enough money for her son to marry a wife. Even if Ye Kong wanted to marry someone now, it wouldn't be too shabby, right?
Unfortunately, Ye Kong didn't want to marry a wife at all. If he wanted to marry, then he would have to find a female cultivator in the future. At night, they could dual cultivate, and during the day, they could fight (rob). Moreover, both of their lifespans were about the same. Only then would they be able to grow old together!
Otherwise, if he found a mortal, while he was still young, the other party was already old and deaf. If he went out, others would think that she was his grandmother.
For example, if one cultivated to the Yuanying stage, they should have a lifespan of eight hundred years. When his lifespan decreased by a little, the other party would already be dead. Marry another, die again, marry another … Damn it, isn't it fun to hold funerals?
Therefore, most cultivators would marry a cultivator as a wife. Even if Daoist Master Wan Xuan had no hope of advancing, he would still marry a female cultivator who had no hope of advancing. Generally, he wouldn't consider a mortal. Why? Cultivators plus cultivators, the next generation would have a higher chance of having spiritual roots.
This was because male cultivators generally wouldn't consider marrying a mortal beauty. On the other hand, female cultivators were even less likely to marry a handsome mortal. Stories like the Seven Fairies and Dong Yong, Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian were extremely rare. In Cang Nan Continent, the probability of such a story happening was infinitely close to zero.
Those female cultivators would rather be single for a lifetime than marry a mortal. They would never even consider a male cultivator with a slightly lower realm than them.
Let's get back to the topic.
Ye Kong returned to his own room. He knew very well that if he wanted to continue living, to live a better life, then he could only continuously become stronger. Only by unremitting cultivation, would he be able to become stronger. Climbing up a level meant that he would be a bit safer.
However, before cultivating, he still had to set up an array. Setting up an array usually required array flags, sand tables, and the like. However, Ye Kong didn't have those things. He only had an array talisman that he seized from Fan Jiushe.
An array talisman was also a type of spiritual talisman. Its principle was to seal the array into the talisman paper and activate it with spiritual energy. It was convenient and easy to use. It was very suitable for cultivators who didn't understand arrays.
However, an array talisman also had its flaws. Its biggest flaw was that it couldn't be moved after it was set up. If it was destroyed, it couldn't be repaired.
It wasn't like an array that was set up with an array flag. It could be picked up and changed at any time. If it was broken or destroyed, it could be rearranged. Or, it could be adjusted and changed in size, scope, structure, function, and so on.
An array talisman didn't have the above functions. After it was used, the array talisman would disappear and the array would be fixed.
Of course, opening and closing the array could still be controlled. As long as there were spirit stones to maintain it and it wasn't destroyed, this array could exist for hundreds of years.
Ye Kong was now preparing to set up this "Spirit Cultivator Array" in his room. This way, he wouldn't be afraid of being disturbed when he cultivated in the future. No one could enter without his permission.
Taking out the array talisman, Ye Kong didn't rush to activate it with spiritual energy.
Because this was the first time he saw a real spiritual talisman from the Cangnan continent. As a future talisman master, he felt that it was better to study it first.
Holding the array talisman, he sat under the oil lamp and carefully observed the lines and lines on the array talisman.
The maker of this array talisman seemed to be an expert. At least, he was familiar with it. In the square talisman, the lines were thick and thin. They were extremely complicated. They were hooked and twisted, but there wasn't a single intersecting stroke. It was like a perfectly designed circuit board, beautiful, simple, and neat.
Many of the silver lines were twisting and turning. However, the maker of the talisman was still able to draw it in one breath. Even the thickness of the lines didn't change in the slightest.
"Sure enough, the mysteries within are extraordinary!" Ye Kong couldn't stop praising it. Thinking about it, even if there were many strange and strange things in the Xiuxian continent, there must be a reason behind these unimaginable things.
There was a good saying: there was no love without reason, and there was no hate without reason. Moreover, there was no such thing as becoming invincible just by drawing a few lines on a piece of paper.
Even the mystical Xiuxian continent had its own unique theories. Just like chemistry and physics on Earth, they all had their own rules and reasons.
Just like the talisman in Ye Kong's hand. Why was the line drawn like that? Why was the line so thick? There was a reason behind all of these. It was definitely not something that could be drawn with one's eyes closed and one could display the talisman.
Ye Kong was like a fool. He stared at the combination of lines that others couldn't understand. After a while, he nodded and said, "So that's how it is."
After a while, he frowned for a long time and examined it back and forth. Finally, he slapped his thigh and praised, "Good!"
A cool breeze blew gently, and the flowers and trees rustled and swayed. There were only a few lights left in the huge Ye Mansion. Ye Kong was still staring at the circuit board … Oh, the array talisman.
Similarly, in the second madam's room, Little Red was reporting the information she had gathered on Ye Kong during the day. However, she only highlighted Ye Kong's intelligence and shrewdness and didn't mention the conversation about the brothel.
After the second madam finished listening to the report, she nodded and thought for a while before saying, "In the future, if you have nothing to do, go to his courtyard to play. Pay more attention to what he's doing. No matter what, I absolutely won't believe that a fool can suddenly become so smart and powerful. Nothing happens without a reason!"
"Oh." When Little Red lowered her head, she couldn't help but feel happy. However, she immediately became worried and asked, "Eighth Young Master is very shrewd. What if he finds out that we're snooping on him? Won't he become angry out of humiliation?"
The second madam smiled. "He won't. Don't be fooled by the fact that he always hits people and causes trouble. Those people offended him in front of him. If we are polite to him in front of him, he definitely won't be able to turn hostile."
Little Red hurriedly flattered, "Second madam, you're really amazing."
"Learn from me in the future." The second madam said complacently.
"But he's not easy to deal with. We are polite to him in front of him and pry on his secrets behind his back." Little Red bravely said again, "Even so, he will still be polite to him in front of him and act behind his back. Didn't I hear that Ye Hai might have been secretly killed by him?"
"Haha, so you're not stupid after all." The second madam laughed and then said with a straight face, "There's only a chance when there's danger. We're not after his life, so what's there to be afraid of? Even if he knows, I'm not afraid. "
Little Red was depressed. But I'm afraid. That guy will turn hostile at any time. If you explain it to him, maybe it'll be fine. But I'm afraid that I won't even have the chance to explain. At best, I'll become the second Sister Ma. At worst, I'll meet Ye Hai!
The second madam probably saw through Little Red's fear and said with a smile, "Now that I'm keeping him in the mansion, I'm hoping that he can help me. Why would I harm him? In fact, it's not a big deal to tell him the purpose of prying on his secrets. If he finds out, just tell him."
