This was because the shockwave from the cauldron's explosion landed on Ye Zifeng's back. If it wasn't for Ye Zifeng's quick reaction, Xueyi would have been heavily injured by the explosion.
"Brother Zifeng! Brother Zifeng! How are you? "
"Cough cough ….." Ye Zifeng waved his hand and tried to sit up, showing that he was fine.
"Let me see how your back is. Is it serious? "
Even though Ye Zifeng was in pain, he still forced a smile, "Don't worry. It's not a problem."
Xueyi pretended to be obedient and nodded. She suddenly stood up and quickly went behind Ye Zifeng. She took a deep breath.
On Ye Zifeng's back, a large piece of his clothes was blown to pieces. His flesh was badly mutilated. Many pieces of the pill furnace were embedded into his flesh. A few pieces of his flesh looked like they were burnt. It looked very scary.
"Brother Zifeng!" Xueyi looked at her brother's back and felt like her head was buzzing. It was as if she couldn't feel anything at all. Tears started to well up in her eyes.
Since Ye Zifeng's wound had been seen, he didn't need to hide it anymore. He gritted his teeth and let out a painful cry.
"Who's so evil!? If I find out, I'll definitely kill him! "Xueyi came back to her senses. Her face was cold and filled with killing intent.
Sometimes, it wasn't impossible to play some tricks for the sake of the family's conflicts. However, to directly take someone else's life like this was indeed a little too much!
Ye Zifeng coldly laughed, "Who wants to do this to me? Destroy my cauldron and make me unable to rise up. It's not hard to guess who these people are." While saying that, he looked at the common tier pills in his bag. Luckily, he left his bag at the entrance of the woodshed so he wasn't affected by the explosion. His rewards weren't ruined. It was a blessing in disguise.
A few scenes flashed through Xueyi's mind and she was startled.
"Could it be second uncle and the others?"
… …
"What's going on? Why is there an explosion? "
The loud explosion of the pill furnace quickly attracted the attention of the other people in the Ye Mansion. Among them, the first person to arrive was Tang Feng. When she heard the sound coming from the woodshed, she knew something was wrong! She knew that her daughter liked to go to Ye Zifeng's woodshed. If something happened to the woodshed, she would definitely be involved.
"Xueyi! Xueyi! It's great that you're fine … "Tang Feng walked into the woodshed and saw that Ye Xue Yi was safe and sound. Her heart also relaxed. Although she was usually snobbish, she was very concerned about her own daughter.
"Mother, don't worry about me. Hurry up and find a doctor to save brother Zifeng. Look at his back! Just now, he was injured to save me! "Ye Xue Yi said anxiously.
Madam Tang calmed down and carefully looked at the wound on Ye Zifeng's back. When she saw the bloodstains on his back, she was clearly frightened. When she heard Ye Xueyi say that he was injured to save her, her heart was slightly moved.
"Zifeng, how did you get injured so badly? Someone come quickly. Someone come quickly! "
At the same time, a few people from the Ye clan heard the commotion and rushed over. Very quickly, a doctor from the Ye clan came over with a medicine bag and applied some medicine on Ye Zifeng's back.
After applying the medicine, Ye Zifeng's entire body was in pain. He started to breathe heavily and curled up into a ball.
"Brother Zifeng ….. It's all my fault ….." Ye Xueyi cried and tightly held onto Ye Zifeng's hand.
Ye Zifeng forced a smile. He knew that this had nothing to do with Xueyi. It's not her fault.
The last to arrive were Ye Chen and Ye Huichi. When they saw Ye Zifeng, they looked at each other with a complicated expression.
"Cousin, I'm a bit confused. This pill furnace was perfectly fine, why did it suddenly explode? Was it because you were refining some special pill that caused it to explode? "
Ye Huichi's words immediately blamed Ye Zifeng's injury on his own poor alchemy skills. He even indirectly pointed out that Ye Zifeng was the one who broke the cauldron. This was simply a case of the villain complaining first.
Ye Xueyi coldly looked at him and snorted, "Your brother Zifeng is heavily injured. As his cousin, you don't even have anything to say to comfort him. Why are you asking about the cauldron?"
"I'll ask whatever I want to ask. Who do you think you are?" Ye Huichi angrily replied.
"You!" Ye Xueyi wanted to rush up and teach him a lesson.
Ye Chen's expression sank, "Huichi, how can you say that? He's your cousin after all. Be more respectful."
Shrugging his shoulders, Ye Huichi muttered, "What attitude? I'm just speaking the truth."
Ye Chen angrily pulled Huichi behind him and embarrassedly smiled, "Everyone, please don't laugh at me. I didn't mean it. Please forgive me."
Ye Zifeng coldly smiled and struggled to stand up.
The Ye clan's physician, Zeng Peng, wanted to stop him but was pushed away by Ye Zifeng.
"Look at his weird temper. I was kind enough to help him up but he didn't want it."
"That's right. From what I see, he deserves it ….."
Hearing these words, Ye Xueyi fiercely glared at the kids. Her eyes were filled with anger. When the kids were glared at by Ye Xueyi, they immediately shut up.
The words of kids are the most harmless. But now that they are hostile towards Ye Zifeng, it's obvious that their parents have taught them bad things since they were young.
Ye Zifeng bitterly smiled and shook his head. His state of mind became calmer and calmer.
During this period of time, Ye Zifeng had indeed underestimated his enemies. One must know that he was no longer the Martial Lord that could laugh arrogantly at anyone. He was also no longer the peak heaven tier Pill God Ye Zifeng. Instead, he was the trash Ye Zifeng that was in the qi refining stage. Even if they were clowns, he couldn't just ignore them. Even though he already felt that Ye Chen and Zeng Peng had ill intentions and wanted to take some measures, he was still too late.
So right now, he still needs to endure. Before he becomes strong enough to ignore these clowns, he needs to endure. He can't show off too much. If his own family members treat him like this, then what about other families?
He squinted his eyes and slowly walked in front of Ye Chen.
"Zifeng. What are you doing?" Ye Chen's mouth twitched. Even though he was already in the Martial Disciple realm, when he faced Ye Zifeng, he didn't know why but he felt a bit short of breath. It was as if the person in front of him wasn't a beginner in the qi refining stage but an expert in the Martial Lord realm.
Ye Zifeng smiled, "Second uncle. Can I talk to you for a bit?"
Ye Huichi laughed, "What do you want to talk to my father about? Can't you say it in front of everyone?"
"Are you sure …. You want. Me. To. Speak?" Ye Zifeng spoke word by word. Each word was filled with an awe-inspiring aura. When a tiger falls to the plains, it would be bullied by a dog. However, he wasn't at the level where he would be laughed at by an ant.
Ye Zifeng stared at him as if he wanted to see through his flesh. Ye Huichi was sweating profusely. He felt a bit of fear in his heart. This trash Ye Zifeng was able to deal with him with just a look. To him, this was definitely a disgrace.
However, whether it was Ye Zifeng or Ye Chen, they didn't want to show their cards in front of everyone. This was because it wouldn't benefit either of them.
Ye Chen looked at him with a serious expression and then smiled, "Can I talk to you for a bit? Sure. Then please ….. "
"Please ….." Ye Zifeng smiled without any fear.
"Brother Zifeng ….. You ….." Ye Xueyi looked at Ye Zifeng worriedly.
"Don't worry. It's fine."
Indeed. No matter how daring Ye Chen was, he wouldn't do anything to Ye Zifeng right now. If Ye Chongtian comes back and finds out the truth, he'll definitely skin Ye Zifeng alive.
Under everyone's gaze, the two of them walked towards a small tree. They were quite far away from everyone so no one could hear what they were talking about.
"What do you want to talk about? Can you talk now? "Ye Chen got straight to the point.
"I can pretend that nothing happened this time ….." Ye Zifeng's reply was very straightforward.
Ye Chen was startled and then shook his head, "I don't understand. What do you mean?"
"Right now, there's only the two of us here. No one else can hear us. Second uncle, why are you acting so innocent?"
Ye Chen's face turned ashen. From what Ye Zifeng said, he didn't feel any respect towards him at all.
"I said it before. I don't know what you're talking about." Ye Zifeng was still stubborn.
Ye Zifeng smiled mysteriously. That smile made Ye Chen's hairs stand on end.
"If it's that brat Ye Huichi, he wouldn't be able to do this. You must've taught him. If it was just you, you wouldn't have the courage to do this. Someone must've pushed you from behind. The person behind you, let me guess, is it … someone from the Liu Clan? "When he said the last sentence, his eyes were filled with cold light.
Ye Zifeng's guess was correct. It was Liu Yige from the Liu clan who secretly contacted Ye Chen. Other than the Consolidating Yuan Pill, he also gave Ye Chen many other benefits. Because of this, Ye Chen had the courage to make a move on Ye Zifeng while Ye Chongtian wasn't here.
"But, you don't have ….."
"No. I have proof!" Ye Zifeng smiled. He knew what Ye Chen wanted to say.
Hearing this, Ye Chen was startled. Even someone as cautious as Ye Chen would accidentally leave behind some clues. If Ye Zifeng revealed this to the entire Ye clan, then even without Ye Chongtian's return, Ye Chen's reputation would plummet.
He originally wanted to ask Ye Zifeng, "Do you really have proof?" However, if he did that, then it would be the same as saying that he was in cahoots with the Liu clan. Thus, he couldn't find the right words to say.
Ye Chen never would've dreamt that a mere qi refining stage kid would be able to take advantage of his weakness. Thinking about this, he felt a bit depressed.
