Rebirth of the Peak Young Master-Chapter 1138: Urging
It's impossible to go to the front yard. I know there's a line of elders leading their wedding procession at the entrance before entering. Now, if I were to go there, I'd be like a lamb in a tiger's mouth. I'm no fool. Of course, I wouldn't do something so troublesome. After I called the little attendant from behind to clear the way, it wasn't easy for the Ye Family to sneak around the courtyard. Avoiding those constantly pouring in from the front gate.
I suppose this is also a form of retreat. I think of the world's three ancient families. This isn't the family's legacy. Even the elders' children and grandchildren are vibrant. They're all powerful. Look at themselves. When they were young, they didn't know what to do. They managed to gather a group of 'evil slaves' to become trendy boys. They were caught and brought back before even stepping out the door. They were hit with 20 sticks and lay for two days. My legs and feet weren't well, so my grandfather urged me.
Bed practice.
In the cold winter, when the roosters woke up, they didn't cry. They smelled the scent of apricot blossom rain, dancing with guns as sticks. They could only rest three times a day. If not for Fang Chen's secret help and my mother's pleading, they wouldn't even have a decent meal.
Biting teeth, gnawing on stubborn bones, it was not easy to get through the hardest days. I thought the opening of the Heavenly Eye marked the beginning of my good days. Who knew, stepping into a more challenging life...
I'm afraid my time in Jianghai City was the most pleasant since joining them.
Because of this, Ye Fengsheng would envy Xu Le's ease upon joining them. As someone tamed by sticks, the lost childhood can never be made up for.
"Feng Sheng, come in."
The sneaky figure avoiding the crowd suddenly froze. Ye Feng recognized the voice, swallowed hard, and saw the attendant in front of him. After inquiring with his eyes, he got a confirming nod from the attendant.
Turning his head inch by inch, looking at the high walls of the courtyard beside him, the usually calm Ye Fengsheng couldn't help but feel his heart racing.
Just now, I merely wanted to avoid the people coming to my house, but unexpectedly, after a few circles, I ended up in my grandfather's courtyard.
Even knowing that his grandfather did it for his own good when he was young, Ye Fengsheng still harbored icy hesitation, trembling before that person who treated him as an animal.
It's not resentment in my heart, but a conditional reflex of awe towards something long-existent.
"Young master, what should we do now?"
The attendant beside him was a bit flustered, not because of their ferocity, not because of mistreatment by the servants, but because of the family's naturally longstanding pressure, combined with his immeasurable power. Even offering tea and handing water left ordinary attendants a bit frustrated.
Initially, I wanted to take the attendant to the hospital, but seeing her trembling at the moment, Ye Fengsheng simply let her go. It's not that she saw something evil, just her own grandparents, but they couldn't eat her, right? 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Ye Fengsheng solemnly tidied his clothes, took a deep breath, and pushed open the small courtyard's door.
After a 'creak', was his grandfather sitting in front of the Taoist, with a solemn expression, wanting to lose his son.
As their eyes met, Ye Fengsheng's hands naturally fell, and his straight, rifle-like spine finally revealed an arc. After bowing 90 degrees deeply three times and then stopping the salute, he solemnly cupped his hands.
"Where did you get this?"
But unexpectedly, Ye Fengsheng finished speaking. Ye Zhi snatched the brocade box from Ye Fengsheng's hands, gazing at the exquisite animal and cloud pattern on the box. The once gentle eyes revealed a few sharp glints!
Just like this, the original dignity of the house stood out. One fears discovering a miser on the streets, and at this moment, sees a better ingot than Ye Zhi.
Grandfather's current appearance is indeed frightening. Ye Fengsheng couldn't speak for a moment.
Ye Zhi stroked the pattern on the brocade box, trembling even more fiercely, yet he already knew his loss of composure. He closed his mouth, gently opened it again, then asked, "Phoenix Sound, where did you get this?"
"It's from a tomb," Ye Fengsheng thought for a moment and replied, "According to archaeologists, it should be a tomb from the Han Dynasty. Outside the tomb, nine palace flying stars stirred it. The tomb's owner requested not economic power, only the survival of descendants. But the nine palace flying stars inside were moved by outsiders, drawing the Evil Spirit into the palace. After I modified the tomb keeper's arrangement, he gave me this brocade box. I said his mission was to deliver this brocade to our ancestors."
"Where is that person now?"
Ye Zhi's eyes were sharp, and his words somewhat intense. It seemed he wanted to join this world to find the tomb's owner.
"He's no longer alive," Ye Feng said with a kind of voice. "What a grand tomb. Countless souls inside. His mission has been completed.
Complete it, set down the shattered Long Shi, you must prepare to complete it."
Ye Zhi furrowed his brows, thought for a moment, touched the cloud pattern on his hand to prevent trembling, and said to Ye Feng, "Since this is the case, you'd better go back first. Don't tell anyone about it, and don't let outsiders know."
"You..."
Ye Fengsheng wanted to say more, but he didn't expect Ye Zhi to leave in a rush.
"Is the brocade box more important than your grandson?"
He muttered in his heart, and Ye Fengsheng was somewhat puzzled. How could the big family become so transparent? Their parents simply ignored them. They were always strict with Grandpa. At this time, they were attracted by a brocade box, forgetting to scold them.
Is it so difficult to not leave home these days? Is the position in the family so low?
In hesitation, Ye Fengsheng tentatively looked at the noisy people in the courtyard, finally lacking the courage to go over.
"Phoenix Sound, Phoenix Sound."
This sudden voice startled Ye Dashao, suspecting his life. According to his reputation, he saw his head resting on the wall. Ye Fengsheng chuckled a few times and also waved at him. He carefully stuck his head out again, noticed the people in the front yard, then made a gesture toward the wall. Then he disappeared into the house.
Ye Fengsheng was afraid of doing such things as climbing walls. Even knowing his grandfather had passed, he still feared the long-lasting aftereffects. Because of this, when he jogged out of the courtyard, the face of everyone outside showed an impatient expression.
"Why hasn't the cowardice gone away after being out for so long?"
Just as this was said, the strong man flipped over the wall and landed in front of Ye Fengsheng. His words were filled with complaints.
"Do you think it's like you? You ask them, in the world, who dares to climb over my family's wall, besides your Haoxuan, is there a second person?"
Ye Fengsheng smiled as he passed by his childhood friend. His words were full of impoliteness.
We've played together since we were young, and we have a certain understanding of each other's temperament. Ye Haoxuan, Seventh Elder's grandson, is the strong one in front of us. In the past, he was a Monarch who feared nothing. As a child, he took the lead in most of his peers' crimes.
However, this child was still the Bone Terror Master. While Ye Fengsheng was beaten and cried lying in bed, Ye Haoxuan had long climbed the wall and laughed, playing around.
At first, we all thought the Seventh Elder was kind to Ye Haoxuan. Later, we saw the Seventh Elder hanging him on a tree, beating him with a thick stick, and realized this child was both rugged and stout. Naturally, we envied his copper skin and iron bones.
But these things, once born, cannot be envied. Over time, Ye Haoxuan, who never learns from eating thrashings, became the scapegoat of the group.
Regrettably, someone who can withstand beatings cannot become the most successful person.
Ye Haoxuan is also a righteous person. When he can take something himself, he will choose Ye Fengsheng. Therefore, among his companions, the one who suffered the most was not the stout and muscular Ye Haoxuan, but his lover.
