"Oh? Is there really a problem? " Ye Kong also had an expression of surprise. He originally thought that these two people were dissatisfied with Little Red and came to cause trouble, but he didn't expect that there really was a problem.
Ye Wen smiled and said, "Little Wu is about to turn eighteen, and it's time for the coming of age ceremony. According to the Ye Clan's rules, before a boy reaches adulthood, he must capture a winged tiger to be considered an adult. He will show off to everyone during the coming of age ceremony to show off the valiance of the Ye Clan's men."
Ye Kong knew about this rule. Two years ago, when Ye Wen held the coming of age ceremony, he brought out a winged tiger that he had subdued alone. At that time, Ye Kong was locked in the Ye Clan's ancestral hall. Although he didn't participate, he heard about it.
"Oh, is that so, but this matter …?" Ye Kong raised his head and looked at Ye Wen. What does this have to do with me? My coming of age ceremony still has to wait for three and a half years.
"I want … to ask for your help, Eighth Brother. I heard that you learned a magical martial art and your martial arts are amazing. Haha, who else should I look for if not you?"
Even if you want me to help, you should at least look like you are asking for help, right? Ye Kong said snappily, "Second Brother, back then you subdued a winged tiger with your own strength. Isn't it enough for you to help? Do you still need my help? "
Ye Wen smiled and said, "Eighth Brother, you may not know this, but the task of capturing the winged tiger is allowed to help, but the helper can only be one person. The helper must also be a man of the Ye Clan and must not be an adult … I am already an adult and have completed the task, so I am not allowed to help."
Ye Kong was preparing to settle everything today and then go into seclusion for a long time. He didn't have the time to care about their trivial matters. Moreover, these two people didn't have the consciousness of asking for help at all. He was afraid that if he really helped them, he would be scolded by them behind his back.
"Two brothers, about this matter … forgive me for saying sorry. Recently I … cough cough, my body is not well. I really don't have the strength to help." Although using illness to refuse was old-fashioned, it was the most effective way. No one could force a patient to do something for you, right?
"This matter isn't going to happen in a day or two. When Eighth Brother's body recovers, he can still go."
"Cough cough … Second Brother doesn't know. The doctor said that I … cough cough … cough …" Ye Kong beat his chest and coughed so hard that he couldn't speak.
Ye Wu cursed in his heart. This despicable thing. Just now, it was as if he had smeared tiger oil on it. The Little Red Sandalwood Leaf's chair was lifted by his little finger. In the blink of an eye, how could he be coughing like this? This is too fake. Why don't you die from coughing?
Ye Wen's patience was also limited. Seeing that he was pretending to be sick, he was angry. Moreover, that brat was purposely coughing at his face. Damn it, he couldn't even avoid it.
Ye Kong coughed for a while before he managed to catch his breath. Panting, he said, "This is a chronic disease. The doctor said that three to five years can only treat the symptoms. It will take eight to ten years to get rid of the root cause …"
"Pfft ~" Hearing Ye Kong's nonsense in the blink of an eye, Little Red, who was sitting, couldn't help but laugh.
The beauty laughed because she was laughing at this brat's wit. She was laughing at her own stupidity. She was being played like a monkey by him! Ye Wu finally couldn't help but roar. He slammed the table and pointed at the person opposite him. "Ye Kong! Don't turn us down! Do you think we're begging you? Don't you know that Ye Long and Ye Hu are fighting to go! "
Ye Wen suppressed his anger and advised, "Eighth Brother, maybe you don't know yet. The Ye Clan's ancestral teachings state that if you help others on a mission, you don't have to capture winged tigers anymore when you turn eighteen. Moreover, even if your martial arts are superior, you still have to capture them. This can also increase your experience, right?"
It was only then that Ye Kong realized that those who had helped others didn't have to go anymore. No wonder Ye Long and Ye Hu were fighting to go. After helping Ye Wu this time, they didn't have to capture winged tigers anymore when they turned eighteen.
Winged tigers sounded scary, but they were just low-grade unranked spirit beasts. They couldn't fly and only had two wings on their backs for show.
Of course, although they were low-grade unranked, they weren't something that could be easily captured by mortals. Back then, Liu Changqing led a small group of people to hunt Ironhide Bulls, and a few of them were injured. Capturing a winged tiger alone was easier said than done. That was why Ye Long and Ye Hu wanted to tag along. Even if they couldn't capture it, they could gain experience, right?
But Ye Kong didn't care. If I can't capture that thing, am I not a human? Besides, if you, Ye Wen, can capture it alone, why can't I, an immortal, do you think I can't?
"What bullsh * t winged tigers? I can kill a bunch of them with my pinky. I'm not going!"
Even if Patriarch Acheron didn't say anything, Ye Kong didn't want to go either. He cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for your kind intentions, but I really can't go in my current condition."
"Think about it again," Ye Wen persuaded again.
Actually, this kid didn't have any good intentions. He had long heard that Ye Kong's martial arts were impressive, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. He invited Ye Kong to participate because he wanted to find out the truth. If he had the chance to make this troublesome kid die in the tiger's mouth, hehe, wouldn't he be able to get that little girl named Lu Qin?
"My body can't take it. Thank you." Although Ye Kong didn't know their motives, he knew that they couldn't be up to anything good. Besides, he didn't have the time.
Ye Kong stood up and wanted to chase them away. But the moment he stood up, Ye Wu noticed the small sword hanging on his waist.
Ye Wu immediately laughed sarcastically, "Others hang a long sword, but you hang a dagger. Could it be that you're a butcher who sells meat?" Ye Wu also stood up after he finished speaking. Intentionally or unintentionally, he swayed the sword hanging on his waist and said, "If you don't want to go, then forget it. Coward!"
Ye Kong didn't have the magnanimity to not talk back when he was scolded, so he immediately replied, "A coward doesn't need to go around asking for help."
"Then why don't you dare to go?" Ye Wu glared and said, "Holding a broken dagger and pretending to be a swordsman, what a joke. Everyone talks about how amazing you are, but I think you're only good at talking."
"Whether I'm amazing or not is not up to you to say." Ye Kong didn't want to talk nonsense with them anymore, so he directly chased them away, "Alright, two brothers, I'm going to take my medicine, so I won't send you off."
"Humph." Ye Wu didn't want to stay any longer. He waved at Little Red and shouted, "Little Red! Let's go. "
Although Chen Jiuniang kept signaling them with her eyes, Ye Kong absolutely wouldn't allow them to take Little Red away. Since he had already made it clear that he had feelings for Little Red, then he couldn't let her follow him back. Otherwise, if these two fellows were to forcefully take her away, he would regret it.
"Little Red can't go!" Ye Kong took a step forward, grabbed Little Red's arm, and pulled her to the side.
Ye Wen frowned. His self-restraint had already been exhausted, and he said coldly, "Could it be that Eighth Brother wants to snatch her in broad daylight? You're looking down on us too much! "
Ye Wu also said disdainfully, "Coward! Coward! Coward! Do you think you're worthy of having a woman? Let me tell you, weaklings don't deserve anything! "After saying that, he pointed at Little Red and said," Go back with me, or else I'll make you pay! "
Little Red was stuck in the middle, not knowing when to advance or retreat. She was afraid that Ye Kong would really start a conflict with them, so she could only plead, "Eighth Young Master." She wanted to struggle free from Ye Kong's grasp.
Chen Jiuniang saw that the situation wasn't right, and hurriedly came over to persuade, "Kong 'er, Little Red is a member of the second branch, you can't force her to stay."
Chen Jiuniang also knew that Ye Kong's temper wasn't good, and wouldn't easily let go. She went to plead with Ye Wen again, "Second Young Master, can you go back first? I'll send Little Red over to you later."
Ye Wen had a stomach full of anger, so how could he agree? He laughed coldly and said, "The outside world said that the Ye Residence's Eighth Young Master was very powerful, but it turns out that he's just a coward who hides behind a woman."
"Haha." Ye Wu laughed loudly, "Brother, I already told you, but you didn't believe me. He's just a coward who only knows how to talk!"
"You're not allowed to say that about Big Brother Ye Kong! You're the cowards, the cowards! "Little Lu Qin angrily rebuked, stood in front of Ye Kong, and drew out her Azure Edge Sword with a clang.
Ye Wen was quite interested in this girl. Seeing that she was protecting Ye Kong, he was furious in his heart, but he still put on a smile and said, "Little Sister Lu, I see that you're also a martial artist, so why don't you accept a strong martial artist as your godbrother? This will also be good for you in the future. If you stay together with a coward who needs a woman's protection for a long time, you'll become a coward sooner or later. "
"F * ck your mother." A thunderous roar sounded, and Ye Kong had already pounced forward.
"Weaklings, f * ck your mother, you're the weaklings, and retarded!" Ye Kong's heart was burning with anger, but his hands weren't idle. With a kick, he sent Ye Wu flying, and with a fist, he fiercely punched towards Ye Wen's face.
Ye Wen thought that his martial arts were superb, but when he saw that Ye Kong's punches didn't have any style at all, just like a hoodlum fighting on the street, he sneered in his heart, and wanted to elegantly dodge this attack.
But he quickly discovered that he was wrong. Although Ye Kong's punches didn't have any style or style, he couldn't dodge it no matter how hard he tried.
"Pa!" It hit the bridge of the nose, and blood flowed out.
"You! Sneak attack! You … don't fight properly … "Ye Wen covered his nose and scolded.
"Not only are your martial arts weak, even your brains are weak! If you want to fight, then fight. Do you think this is a f * cking boxing match? "Ye Kong once again punched his handsome face.
"Kong 'er, stop fighting. Mother is begging you to stop fighting." Chen Jiuniang pounced forward and hugged Ye Kong. She still remembered how good Second Madam was to her, and she didn't want to offend her.
Ye Wen just happened to take the opportunity to slip away. He spat out a mouthful of blood and scolded, "Just you wait, we'll take care of you!"
"F * ck your mother!" Ye Kong picked up a big chair and smashed it over, scaring Ye Wen and his brother so much that they turned and ran away.
"Kong 'er, mother is begging you. Stop fighting. We're all brothers. Isn't it good to be amiable?" Chen Jiuniang hugged Ye Kong, refusing to let go even if she died. Her eyes were filled with tears.
Ye Kong sighed and said, "Mother, don't be silly! When did they treat me as a brother? Did we live like this because of their kindness? Was it because we're a family? Was it their kindness? No! It's all wrong! It's all because I'm strong enough to beat them until they're afraid. If you endure it, you'll only get humiliation. Towards them, a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye! "
"That's right, godmother. Big Brother Ye Kong is right. We can only have a good life if we beat them into submission!" Lu Qin also chimed in.
Although Chen Jiuniang was crying, she was already slowly letting go of Ye Kong.
Seeing that Ye Kong was about to chase after them, Little Red cried out miserably, "Eighth Young Master …"
Ye Kong knew that she was afraid of causing trouble, so he nodded and said, "I know what I'm doing."
