Different from the city of Suzhou, a few old women in front of the Ye family were cleaning the snow that had been piled up for a long time, turning into ice water and sweeping it out, and there was no red color in front of the gate, but it looked a little cold.

When the old woman saw Ye Yan coming back, she stopped the broom in her hand, saluted respectfully, and said.

"Patriarch, you're back. ”

Ye Yan hurriedly picked up the old woman's bent weak body and said.

"You are all older than me, you don't have to salute in the future, just call me Ye Yan. ”

The old women made a gesture of invitation, continued to sweep up the ice water, and Ye Yan stepped into the door of the Ye family.

Ye Yan couldn't help but sigh when he saw the scene of the courtyard, the same as when he was a child, the six tall trees on both sides were hung with red stripes, and red lanterns were hung on them.

After adjusting the slightly offset color bar, he entered the inner courtyard.

"What about the Second Elder?"

Ye Yan asked the guards on both sides.

"I don't know, maybe it's in the room. ”

Ye Yan walked towards the inner room, the short corridor path, Ye Yan recalled that he was playing games with Ye Qing here happily when he was a child, at that time, Ye Yan felt that this path was so long.

Now, Ye Yan came to the inner room in a few steps, knocked on the door, and did not respond.

Ye Yan raised his throat slightly and shouted.

"Second Elder, Second Elder, are you in there?"

Seeing that there was still no response, Ye Yan was worried that something had happened to the second elder, so he slammed the door open in a hurry and shouted at the same time.

"I'm in!"

The wooden door fell off from the door frame and smashed on the round wooden table, and the old man with a hundred gray hairs on the left hand stroked an object in his hand, his eyes glazed, and the crystal tears in his eyes swirled in it.

Looking carefully, the item was the same as an ordinary wooden hairpin, and the second elder reacted at this time, and quickly put away the wooden hairpin, stood up, and said with some crying.

"It's rude, don't you accompany Patriarch Ye. ”

The second elder saluted respectfully, and looked up to see Ye Yan's gaze stop on the second elder's wooden hairpin.

Ye Yan said.

"What is this?"

The second elder beckoned Ye Yan to sit down, wiped the wooden chair on the side with his sleeve, washed the teacup, poured a cup and put it in Ye Yan's hand.

The second elder placed the wooden hairpin on the wooden table, wiped away his tears, and explained.

"I should tell you that this hairpin was a birthday gift from your father. ”

"Today is my birthday, twenty-five years ago, your father was the same age as you were me, don't look at me now I have white hair, and I am only forty-two years old. ”

"On this day of that year, your father gave me this wooden hairpin, which he made with his own hands, and although it was not well made, it was my most precious thing. ”

"At that time, I liked to have long hair, and he was the only one in the whole family who could understand me and practice with me, but my father and I were not the same physique. ”

"Your father's cultivation speed is extremely fast, even faster than you are now, at that time, he has already reached the fourth level of the Xuanying Realm, and I am still a person who has just stepped into the Yuanzhen Realm. ”

Although Ye Yan listened carefully, Ye Yan still interrupted the Second Elder's words impolitely and explained.

"That me, Elder, I'm now in the Fifth Infant Realm. ”

The second elder's eyes widened when he heard this, he let out a long sigh, and his wrinkled hand gently patted Ye Yan's hand, and said approvingly.

"It's better than blue!"

Ye Yan apologized, made a gesture that you continued, and said.

"I'm sorry, but then what?"

The second elder swallowed his saliva and continued.

"Later, the gap between me and your father grew, and he won the first place in the family competition and successfully entered the contest of the martial arts tournament. ”

"Then, your sister Xiaoqing was born, but your father was far away and didn't see Xiaoqing at all. ”

"I wonder if he's seen it now, it's still a question, alas. ”

Ye Yan asked.

"So where is my father now? ”

The Second Elder shook his head and let out a long sigh.

"I don't know, that day in the final of the martial arts conference, as we expected, your father was very competitive for our family to win the first place, and he also became the leader of this martial arts alliance. ”

Ye Yan pressed his hands on the wooden table, suddenly got up, and all the thoughts in his mind came to mind, the black-shirted man who protected Ye Yan that day, the black-shirted man who deliberately gave him exercises, and the black-shirted man who repaired the flame recipe for him, turned out to be !! his own father!

Ye Yan's excited reaction startled the second elder, looked at Ye Yan's expression, got up in the same way, and asked with concern.

"Have you seen him?"

Ye Yan nodded, and the second elder also held Ye Yan's hand and said nervously.

"Are you not mistaken? He should be in a predicament now!"

Ye Yan shook his head, calmed down, and said with his heart beating extremely fast.

"Not sure, why do you say he's in a predicament right now?"

The second elder saw that Ye Yan gave a negative answer, and his eyes, which were originally full of light, were covered by a trace of disappointment......

The second elder eased his mood and said with all his might.

"Your father is suspected of using an elixir to make the person who lost your father take it, so most people suspect that your father has done a dirty trick. ”

The second elder's hands were bruised, and he could barely suppress the anger in his heart and said.

"However, your father has been friends with me for so many years, whether he will do it, I know in my heart, I understand that he is wronged, but what is the use of our words alone?"

"Then, to prove your father's innocence, I was willing to halve my lifespan and used a mirror image restoration spell that no one had ever tried before. ”

"That exercise reviewed the whole process, and did not find that your father used any drugs to harm the opponent, and finally the Ten Heavens Holy Venerable Hall recognized this alliance leader, that is, your father. ”

Ye Yan heard the Ten Heavens Holy Venerable Hall and asked curiously.

"What is the Ten Heavens Holy Venerable Temple?"

The second elder didn't hide it either, explaining.

"The Ten Heavens Holy Venerable Hall is a force that combines the top masters of the nine weapons with the masters of each Martial Arts Alliance. ”

"The nine weapons are: swords, spears, bows, fans, fist gloves, flutes, silks, sticks, and whips. ”

Ye Yan couldn't help but think in his heart: "Silk? What kind of strange weapon is this?" ”

Ye Yan didn't ask, because it is true that everything in the world can be weapons.

"Later, the Soul Dementor Hall actually took away the treasure, Xingtianlu, Xingtianlu is the treasure of the Ten Heavens Holy Venerable Palace, with him, he only needs to collect the ten major artifacts to incarnate into a dominating existence. ”

"As for the incarnation, I don't know, after all, there is no one before and no one after him. ”

"I don't know anything about what happened after that, and then your father disappeared from public view, and it was because of your father's disappearance that our family declined. ”

Ye Yan clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind that he must help his father when he has strong abilities.
