Pavilions, pavilions, fake mountains, etc.
Such a large spirit pool nurtured an endless amount of boundless spirit energy that continued to rise.
"Master, Master, sigh … how many times have I told you? That young man is only someone from a branch family. There is no need for you to personally meet him. Just leave this small matter to us." A middle-aged woman dressed in luxurious clothing said with a straight face.
In front of her was a spirited old man.
His two manes were slightly white, and he wore a crane cloak.
His gaze darkened, and the surrounding aura seemed to suddenly press down, causing people to feel suffocated.
"Zhong Yun, what are you saying? No matter what, he is still Brother Chong Tian's son, and his relationship with him isn't that far. Also, the message that Chong Tian sent me said that the child might arrive in the next two days. If you have any news of him, tell me immediately, do you understand?"
"I …"
The middle-aged woman sighed, gently shook her head, and remained silent.
"Zhong Yun, I'll be going on a long journey from tomorrow onwards. Don't make me worry before I leave."
Zhong Yun smiled helplessly, "Alright, alright, alright … I got it, I got it."
"Since that's the case, I still need to calm my mind and consolidate my cultivation. You can leave first." The old man waved his hand towards the outside.
"Yes …"
Zhong Yun understood and frowned. She wanted to say a few more words, but in the end, she still retreated and walked towards the outer courtyard.
… ….
"Heh, heh."
The sound of swordplay gradually entered Zhong Yun's ears.
If it was any other time, Zhong Yun would have turned a blind eye to her own son's wanton practice of the sword.
However, today was different.
At this moment, she was feeling a little irritated.
"Ah Si greets Madam Zhong …"
"Hmm …"
Seeing Ah Si's ugly and mischievous smile, carrying a small cloth bag as he passed by Zhong Yun, she didn't have a good expression on her face.
Then, she couldn't help but take a few steps forward and speak.
"Feng 'er, stop practicing your sword. Come over here."
"Mother, what's wrong?" Ye Chengfeng's eyes lit up. He quickly put away the golden short sword and walked in front of Zhong Yun.
He, Ye Chengfeng, did not have a good attitude towards his servants, but he was very obedient towards his mother.
"You can practice your sword whenever you want. Your cousin might come over in the next two days. You should take the time to tidy up the house."
"I can clean up the house, but what cousin? Which cousin?"
Ye Chengfeng was confused for a moment, not understanding what was going on.
"His name is Ye Feng. When you were young, you played with him and Yue 'er. Why, you've already forgotten everything."
"Ye Feng …"
After a while, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something and slapped his head.
"Oh, oh, Ye Feng. Mother, I remember now. I heard that he became a piece of trash and his cultivation stagnated, right?"
Zhong Yun's expression changed slightly, and she immediately scolded, "Shut up, what kind of trash are you? Don't let your words slip. If you really see him and accidentally blurt it out, see if I don't break your dog legs."
"I …"
Ye Chengfeng had an aggrieved look on his face. He did not know why his mother was suddenly so angry at him.
"Alright, I was a bit harsh just now."
Zhong Yun heaved a sigh of relief, paused for a moment, and then continued.
"However, you still have to listen to me seriously. He, Ye Feng, has already gotten rid of the name of trash, and has even made some achievements in alchemy. If you let him win the favor of the old master and let him stay in the mansion for a long time, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable if there was suddenly a branch family member in the Ye Mansion …"
"This …"
Ye Chengfeng frowned, pacing a few steps as he pondered.
He nodded his head, "It seems …" It's a little less free. "
Zhong Yun nodded with a serious expression, "Not only that, I also feel that the old master has always wanted to take care of that branch family of the Ye family. He might even let that Ye Feng do something in the mansion to reduce our power in the family and achieve a balance."
"It can't be, father is still on guard against us … Aren't I his own flesh and blood?" Ye Chengfeng raised his head in shock and looked at his mother in disbelief.
Zhong Yun glared at him snappily, "What do you know? It's not like you're the only one, your father purposely put on this act for us to see. Forget it, even if I tell you these things, you won't understand. Let me ask you, in the past two days, I've let you practice your sword at the gate, have you seen anyone who looks like a disciple of an aristocratic family enter the gate?"
"Ugh …"
Ye Chengfeng thought about it carefully for a moment, then shook his head, "I've seen quite a few disciples from aristocratic families, but none of them came in. As for the letter that mother told me to pass on, I've also asked about it, but there's nothing unusual …"
"Is that so …" "Is this Ye Feng not here yet? Or could it be that he has already gone to that Wind Inverse Academy …"
Zhong Yun was stunned for a moment. She raised her head and looked outside the door, puzzled.
"Could it be …" There's another possibility. "
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and turned her head to look at the place where Ah Si was standing. Her expression changed slightly.
"Oh right, what is Ah Si doing? Didn't I tell him to serve you with the sword the entire time?"
"Oh, he said that there's someone outside who wants to come in and ask for a job, so he handed a letter to Father …"
Zhong Yun's expression immediately changed.
"We're asking for a job. Recently, our Ye Family hasn't recruited anyone from the outside …"
In the next moment, she almost cried out in alarm.
"Not good."
… ….
After coming out of the shortcut through the small door, A 'Si's face was brimming with happiness.
Not long after, he walked out of the Ye Family's main gate and looked into the distance. In a corner, he found Ye Feng's figure.
"Brother, brother, good news."
Ye Feng's eyes lit up. He stood up and put away his soul talent. He raised his head to look at A 'Si and smiled.
"What do you mean?"
"When the master saw your letter, he looked very happy. He casually rewarded me with thirty gold coins. Moreover, I really don't know how you boasted about your abilities in this letter. The master actually wants me to bring you into the Ye Mansion immediately. He looks very excited. Could it be that you were recommended by an acquaintance of the Patriarch?"
"Is that true?"
A 'Si laughed out loud and continued.
"Of course it's true. Consider yourself lucky. The chance to climb up the Ye Family has come."
Ye Feng smiled and nodded.
He understood one thing. No matter what happened to the others, at least the head of the Ye Family was on his side. That was enough.
Enough.
This was because it was impossible for a person to please everyone. Under the drive of some benefits, there would be even more enemies.
At times like this, it was fine to be calm and make use of what he could. There was no need to complain about the heavens and the injustice of the world.
The next moment.
Ah Si led the way, and Ye Feng followed behind.
"Brother, you've just arrived. There are some rules that I will slowly explain to you in the future. You should learn more from me and do things more efficiently. I won't let others bully you."
A 'Si talked and laughed as he gently put the bag in his hand into his bosom.
However, the moment he stepped through the door …
"Plop, plop."
There were two rows of maids and servants by the door, and all of them were kneeling respectfully on the ground, facing Ah Si and Ah Si.
Even Ye Feng did not expect such a scene. In his starry eyes, a strange light flashed across them.
"This …"
A 'Si's smile froze on the spot in an instant. He was extremely shocked.
"It can't be …"
He licked his lips and hurriedly turned his head, wanting to learn from them and kneel down.
He thought there was someone behind him.
However, the truth was that there was no one there.
"Oh my god, what are you guys doing?"
A 'Si's expression was startled. He had a bad premonition in his heart. In an instant, it emerged.
"On the orders of the Patriarch, we have come to welcome Young Master Zifeng."
As soon as these words were spoken, A 'Si's entire body seemed to have been frozen in place. He froze on the spot, motionless.
"What, Young Master Zifeng?"
His lips kept moving as he sucked in a few breaths of cold air. He looked at Ye Feng in disbelief, "The person they're talking about …"
"That's right, it's me, Ye Feng."
The smile on Ye Feng's face was extremely indifferent.
Through the investigation of his soul talent, coupled with a certain degree of adaptability, he knew that although such an outcome had been achieved, it was not easy to come by. It was not purely based on luck.
"Young Master Zifeng."
A steward of the Ye Family walked up with a chuckle.
He saw that Ah Si was still standing motionlessly beside Ye Feng and gave him a bad look, "Alright, A 'Si, what are you standing here for? Hurry up and leave, don't block Young Master Zifeng's path."
"I …" Yes, yes … "A 'Si shivered. He looked at the steward, then at Ye Feng, and quickly retreated.
A 'Si felt a lingering fear in his heart. One must know that he had just put his arm around Ye Feng's shoulder and even pushed him a few times.
If he had known Ye Feng's identity earlier, he wouldn't have done this even if he had the guts.
Thus, the steward shifted his gaze away from A 'Si, and a smile appeared on his originally serious expression.
"Young Master Zifeng, the Old Master has told us that you have been in the family for so many days, so we will take care of your daily meals and accommodations. There is no need for Young Master to worry. As for the maids and servants here, you can choose any three that you like and take them away …"
"About this …"
Ye Feng looked back and forth at the crowd, observing their reactions.
Everyone lowered their heads, not wanting to look at him.
To be honest, in their opinion, even if they were to be someone's servant, it would still depend on who they were.
Therefore, they didn't want to be servants of Ye Feng, a branch family member of the Ye Family.
"Three is too many, I don't need it, and I'm not used to it."
Ye Feng smiled calmly and pointed at A 'Si, who had just retreated.
"How about …" I want it, A 'Si alone. "
