Chapter 555 Are there still forced sons-in-law these days?
Ye Nanxiao glanced at Ye Wuqing, who was trembling beside him. He saw that the guy was staring intently at him, his left hand looking like he had Parkinson's disease.
"What's this guy doing? Is he charging up for a big move?" Ye Nanxiao remembered that this guy seemed to have a soul skill called Golden Left Hand.
"You! You are!" Ye Wuqing's left hand suddenly trembled when Ye Nanxiao glanced at him.
He regarded Ye Nanxiao as his lifelong rival, and since returning to Zhengtian Academy, he had been cultivating for 24 hours a day in order to defeat Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Wuqing brought back all the information about Ye Nanxiao that he could gather from the outside world. He also bought several photos of Ye Nanxiao from a student in the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy at a high price and posted them in his training room.
In order to defeat Ye Nanxiao, Ye Wuqing even imprinted Ye Nanxiao's image into his subconscious.
Before Ye Wuqing could confirm further, Ye Zhenghao launched the first attack.
Nine spirit rings flew out from behind Ye Zhenghao, their terrifying spirit power impacting the surrounding ground.
The several students from Zhengtian Academy who had already lost consciousness, as well as the teacher who had been embedded in the ground by Elder Xuan, were all blown away and landed in the distance, unconscious.
"It seems I've been underestimated, which is why you've become so arrogant!" Five thorny brambles sprouted from behind Ye Zhenghao, their tips tinged with iridescent colors, clearly containing deadly poison.
Ye Nanxiao glanced at Elder Xuan, who was standing still, and then looked at Ye Zhenghao with a pitying gaze.
This person is hopeless; I'd better stay away to avoid getting splashed.
"Senior, we have no past grievances or present conflicts, why must we make things awkward for everyone?"
"My Ye family is well-known in Zhengtian City. Even if you're from out of town, you should have heard of the prestigious Ye family of Zhengtian, right?"
Ye Zhenghao flicked his hand, and a thick thorn behind him struck the ground, creating a crack as thick as a thigh.
Elder Xuan seemed oblivious to the five thick thorns in front of him, leisurely picking up the small wine flask at his waist and taking a sip.
"Ruthless, go and capture that middle-aged man later!" Ye Zhenghao said.
He knew that once he made a move, he had to quickly take down one of the opponents to increase his chances of victory.
After waiting for a while, Ye Zhenghao did not hear Ye Wuqing's reply, so he raised his voice and called out again.
"Heartless! Did you hear me?!"
Startled awake by the roar, Ye Wuqing snapped back to reality, glanced down at his still trembling left hand, and instantly became excited.
"Uncle! That middle-aged man is wearing a disguise! That man is Ye Nanxiao!" The golden leaf storm behind Ye Wuqing suddenly shrank and gathered in his left hand, forming a golden leaf storm sword.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenghao was immediately stunned.
Elder Xuan chuckled twice. "Young Xiao, I think you were a bit distracted during your individual combat training. You barely passed, didn't you?"
Ye Nanxiao smiled awkwardly. He didn't understand how Ye Wuqing could recognize him when his disguise skills were almost maxed out.
Have some of your little habits been discovered?
"Oh dear, it seems my hastily applied makeup is subpar," Ye Nanxiao said helplessly, as he conjured and pricked needles with his fingertips.
"It really is you! Ye Nanxiao!" Ye Wuqing laughed maniacally. "Do you know how I've spent these past years? To defeat you! I've imprinted you into my mind!"
"I've remembered your actions from back then very well!"
Ye Wuqing's smile grew increasingly maniacal, with golden leaves fluttering behind him as seven spirit rings flew out from his body.
Startled awake by Ye Wuqing's maniacal laughter, Ye Zhenghao turned sharply to look at Ye Nanxiao.
He knew a great deal about Ye Nanxiao's name through his family's intelligence network, and he could recite Ye Nanxiao's honors and accolades by heart.
Ye Zhenghao looked at Ye Nanxiao, who was disguised as a middle-aged man. He remembered that several elders in the family had once held a meeting, and the main person in the meeting was Ye Nanxiao.
As a large family, the Ye family naturally possesses superior resources and martial spirits. However, every large family needs to expand its branches and cultivate more outstanding members to support the family in reaching higher levels.
However, just like all large families, there are geniuses born into the family, and there are also those who cannot inherit the family's martial spirit, or whose own martial spirit mutates.
Without inheriting the family's martial spirit, one loses the opportunity to compete for the position of clan leader or head of the lineage; one can only learn about the family's various industries in order to manage them.
The Ye family has a relatively high rate of martial soul mutations. In order to ensure the continued prosperity of the Ye family, the previous two patriarchs and elders devised a plan: to recruit geniuses from outside the family to marry into the Ye family and strengthen its power. At the same time, they recruited people with the same surname to recognize the ancestors of the Ye family as their ancestors and become branches of the Ye family.
These people with the surname Ye from outside the family will go through a period of adjustment before finally integrating completely into the Zhengtian Ye family.
Ye Nanxiao, whose reputation resounded throughout the three empires, was exactly the kind of talent they were eager to recruit.
After Ye Wuqing revealed Ye Nanxiao's identity, Ye Zhenghao immediately focused his attention on Ye Nanxiao.
"Ye Nanxiao, young brother, hello. I am an elder of the seventh branch of the Ye family. Since we share the same surname and our ancestors are from the same lineage, it is fate that we meet! How about we put aside our unpleasant matters and come to my Ye family for a cup of tea?" Ye Zhenghao's eyes were burning with enthusiasm as he stared intently at Ye Nanxiao, selectively ignoring Elder Xuan.
If he could recruit a genius like Ye Nanxiao for his lineage, then in the next clan competition, his seventh lineage might be able to advance a few more steps, seize the rankings of the top lineages, and take their place!
As the Ye family has developed to its current state, only the main branch retains the purest bloodline and holds an unshakeable position. The other branches have attracted a large number of outstanding soul masters to marry into the family through the practice of taking in sons-in-law.
If I could bring Ye Nanxiao into the family, I might have a chance to compete for the position of patriarch!
Ye Nanxiao was originally planning to take out popcorn and watch Elder Xuan beat someone up, but then this happened on the other side?
"What the heck? Same ancestors?" Ye Nanxiao was completely bewildered. He didn't understand the concept of family in this world because everyone around him, except for Xu Sanshi, was an only child.
As for Xu Sanshi, he rarely returns to his family, spending all his time chasing girls.
Beibei was even more determined to be with Tang Ya. Since meeting Ye Nanxiao, she spent all her time at the Tang Sect, except for kowtowing to Elder Mu during the New Year.
This also led to Ye Nanxiao not having a concrete concept of the word "family".
"Oh? Young man, you've been chosen! They might send some eligible girls from their clan to invite you back as their son-in-law tomorrow!" Elder Xuan had traveled the continent in his youth and had more experience than Ye Nanxiao, so he knew what Ye Zhenghao's actions meant.
"My lineage, led by Ye Zhenghao, happens to have two young women of marriageable age. If Brother Ye is interested, why don't we have a chat? It's better to have a family backing you when you're out in the world alone!" Ye Zhenghao said warmly, withdrawing his martial spirit.
Elder Xuan glanced at Ye Zhenghao and slapped him across the face.
Ye Zhenghao's expression changed drastically. Before he could react, he was sent flying backward, crashing into the ground and leaving a trail that was a hundred meters long.
The latest novel is first published here!
Ye Wuqing was stunned by Elder Xuan's sudden move. His uncle was standing here just a second ago, and the next second he was stuck upside down in the ground like a radish.
"Young Xiao, what's the meaning of this?" Elder Xuan asked.
"No, I already said I'm an orphan, what family would I have? Besides, I'm already married, why would I join any family?" Ye Nanxiao waved his hand and said.
Join the family?
That means acknowledging and abiding by the family's rules.
Ye Nanxiao knew that for these families, as long as they were powerful enough to lead the family to prosperity, everything belonged to the family, even marriage was controlled by the family.
He already has two beautiful young wives, so there's absolutely no way he'd join one of those ridiculous families, let alone become a live-in son-in-law.
"Then let's go, I haven't even had lunch yet." Old Master Xuan wiped his clothes as if he had just swatted a fly.
Ye Nanxiao nodded and followed Elder Xuan. As he passed Ye Wuqing, he patted him on the left shoulder.
Ye Wuqing mechanically turned his head and watched helplessly as Ye Nanxiao and the other person walked away.
It wasn't until he started experiencing pain in his left hand that he snapped out of his daze and looked at his left hand.
He was horrified to discover that his entire left hand had been frozen, and even the Golden Leaf Storm Sword that had been condensed on his left hand had turned into a lifelike ice sculpture.
"You froze my proud sixth soul skill without even using my martial soul!" Ye Wuqing was suddenly filled with frustration.
The opponent only patted him once, and broke his sixth soul skill. How could Ye Wuqing possibly catch up with such a powerful person?
"Heartless! Pull...pull me up." Ye Zhenghao's weak voice reached Ye Wuqing's ears.
Ye Wuqing then stepped forward and pulled his uncle out.
Ye Zhenghao's face was swollen like a pig's head, with only one or two teeth left and his mouth full of blood.
"Damn it, those Shrek lunatics!" Ye Zhenghao said in a very low voice.
The moment he was slapped away by Elder Xuan, he finally recognized Elder Xuan's identity.
The current unparalleled powerhouse, Taotie Douluo.
Old Master Xuan only used a little force in that slap, otherwise Ye Zhenghao wouldn't still be awake right now.
"Ruthless! Quick! Notify the family! A genius like Ye Nanxiao should belong to the Ye family!" Ye Zhenghao forgot his injuries, grabbed Ye Wuqing's arm, and said urgently.
Even if he cannot bring Ye Nanxiao into his lineage, as long as he reports to the family and the main branch of the family takes him in, he will be credited with a great achievement!
"Okay." Ye Wuqing quickly left Ye Zhenghao behind and flew back to Zhengtian Academy.
"Hmph, this bastard, couldn't he help me back!" Ye Zhenghao struggled to his feet and limped toward Zhengtian Academy.
He remembered that the current head of the Ye family's main branch had a daughter!
