Ye family, council chamber.

"Patriarch, are you looking for me?"

Ye Yan saluted and stood aside.

"Sit down first. ”

The patriarch took a cup of tea and took a sip of it.

Ye Yan sat aside.

"Congratulations, you have won the first place in the temple examination. ”

"Thank you, Patriarch, you should have come to me more than just say congratulations to me. What's the matter, you just say it. ”

The patriarch put down the teacup.

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point, are you willing to be the next patriarch?"

"Ah, patriarch, you are still young, why is it sudden? And my strength is too low now, I'm afraid I can't take on this heavy responsibility!"

"Haha, naturally not now, just ask if you are willing to lead the Ye family to grow. ”

Ye Yan thought for a moment.

"Naturally, I am willing, but I want to become stronger first and then talk about it when I have the ability. ”

"Well, young people have great ambitions, and I admire you. Come on, bring it!"

A maid walked up to Ye Yan with a black box in her hand.

"This is the Qi Containing Pill, which can help you when you are in the next bottleneck, come on, boy. I'm sure you'll be more gifted than I am. ”

Ye Yan took the black box.

"I'm not welcome to that junior, thank you!"

The patriarch stood up, walked to the door, looked at the sky, turned and said.

"By the way, are you willing to go to Suzhou City to develop and experience, we can subsidize your food and housing for a year. It's a lot better than our town. ”

"The younger generation is grateful, the grace of dripping water must be reciprocated by the spring, this kindness, Ye Yan wrote it down. ”

Ye Yan bowed deeply to the patriarch.

"Ye Yan, do you know? I have an ideal, and I rely on this ideal to improve myself step by step, but I think my ability is not enough to complete it. I think you can do it, would you like to help me do it?"

"You say, I'm going to do my best. ”

The Ye family patriarch was not with a serious face, he was a little relaxed, his hands were spread out to face the sky, and he shouted.

"I want the territory of the world, where the sun and the moon shine on the rivers and rivers, all under the protection of my Ye family, the country and the people are safe, and the people live and work in peace and contentment!"

Ye Yan clearly saw that when he said this, the patriarch's eyes were shining, and in Ye Yan's eyes, the image of the patriarch was many, much greater.

"I will do my best to fulfill your ideals, and I will step back first. ”

"Okay, I'll prepare the carriage and leave early tomorrow morning!"

The next day, early in the morning.

Ye Yan got up early and practiced greedily every day, and when the sky was not yet bright, he had already started practicing.

It is often said that diligence can make up for shortcomings, but how many people can do it?

But Ye Yan did it, and I don't know how many days this young man has spent when he smells the chickens and dances.

"Ye Yan Gongzi"

A coachman outside the door was calling Ye Yan, but how did he know that Ye Yan had been up for a long time.

Last night, after Ye Yan went back, Ye Qing was so sleepy that he fell asleep on the table.

Ye Yan didn't tell Ye Qing, and he couldn't bear to wake her up, so he simply left her at home and left a letter for her. Then, Ye Yan thought about going to the mountain to say goodbye to his mother.

On the mountain, he didn't see his mother, Ye Yan ran to the wooden house, and there was no trace of his mother.

Ye Yan rummaged through the cabinets to find out if his mother had left anything, but unfortunately Ye Yan searched for a long time and didn't find anything at all, and he didn't even have any clues where his mother went.

Ye Yan remembered what his mother taught him five years ago, maybe his mother went to find his father.

Ye Yan's mother naturally has the ability to protect herself, after all, Ye Yan's mother is also a soul shaping powerhouse.

Ye Yan didn't delay much, and his mother's departure may be correct.

But Ye Yan began to hesitate again, did Ye Qing, who had promised before, want to go back on it? Now that his mother has also left, leaving her here alone.

Ye Yan still couldn't bear it, woke Ye Qing up, and went to Suzhou City with her.

In the carriage,

Ye Yan naturally didn't let go of a little bit of time, and he also cultivated on the carriage.

Ye Qing curled up, his hands clasping his legs.

Quietly, there was only the sound of breathing from time to time, and Ye Qing's big charming eyes blinking from time to time.

After Ye Yan told Ye Qing about her mother's departure, Ye Qing has been like this, and Ye Yan also understands that she has to come out by herself. Just let Ye Qing think about it for himself.

The wheels of the carriage spun as if it were about to fly out in the next moment, and it made people feel this palpitation.

As expected, the carriage flew out and the carriage fell backwards.

When the coachman saw that the situation was not good, he rode away on the horse that was pulling the cart.

Ye Yan and Ye Qing in the car fell heavily on the road.

"This coachman really ran away!"

Ye Qing patted the dust on his body.

"Forget it, he's afraid we'll blame him. ”

Ye Yan plucked out his ears.

"It's getting dark, how to solve it tonight, it's still some distance from the city, or I'll keep you guarded if you go to sleep." ”

"Aren't you sleeping? and let's sleep on the street?

"No, sleep in the woods. ”

Ye Yan pointed to the forest not far ahead.

In the woods,

Ye Qing used the medicinal herbs he had just picked to make insect repellent and scatter them in a large circle. Ye Qing lay down and fell asleep, and Ye Yan made a simple leaf quilt for Xiaoqing, although it could not withstand the cold, but at least it could ensure that it would not catch a cold. It's summer, and it's a little stuffy, so there's no need to worry.

Ye Yan wanted to guard Ye Qing, so he replaced it with his eyes closed. Although the effect is not very good, there is at least some movement to be detected.

Ye Qing secretly opened one eye and said.

"Hey, brother, you're not going to do anything while I'm asleep, are you?"

With that, he put his arms around himself.

When Ye Yan heard this, he was also rarely shy, and his flushed face was as red as a monkey's buttocks.

But he said angrily.

"Am I that kind of person? And I can't touch you, touch you, you'll just... ”

Ye Qing covered his mouth with one hand and smiled secretly.

"I'm kidding you, I know my brother is a decent gentleman!"

The night was getting deeper.

The wind blows slowly on the branches, leaves. also blow the green grass that has just emerged, and when you open the grass, bright flowers will probably emerge, because this wind blows to Ye Yan's side, and you can smell the faint fragrance of the flowers.

Suddenly, the wind became stronger, and the leaves fell quickly. Ye Yan suddenly opened his eyes, quickly pulled out the red sword, and slowly walked forward.

A man in a black shirt was in the depths of the woods, and he saw a gourd hanging from his right waist, holding an unsheathed sword in his left hand, his hair was a little long, and he didn't look like he was combed much, but he looked a little happy and carefree.

"What is this?"

Ye Yan said softly.

The black-shirted man actually waved his long sword, stretched out two fingers with one hand and waved the sword, showing the meaning of joy and happiness, and danced as he pleased.
