Chapter 42: Ye Zhan's Worries
"Isn't this a soul nourishing herb? ”
When Dannu was refining the Soul Nourishing Pill, Ye Tian had paid special attention to the appearance of the Soul Nourishing Grass, so he could recognize it at a glance.
This month, Ye Tian has also found a lot of medicinal materials in the forest, but they are all low-grade and worthless medicinal materials, and when he saw the Soul Nourishing Grass, he immediately became curious, each Soul Nourishing Grass requires close to 10,000 gold coins, which is equivalent to the income of a mercenary in Nanbai City for a year.
Ye Tian roughly calculated, there were twenty or thirty trees growing next to this big tree, if this was obtained by any mercenary, it would make him struggle for twenty or thirty years less.
"Every time you want to leave a place, you can find treasures, it seems that Lao Tzu is really lucky!"
Ye Tian carefully dug out all the soul cultivation grass, put it in the storage ring, and then walked out of the rain mist forest.
“... It's finally here!"
After a long time, Ye Tian paused, looked at the three huge words 'Nanbai City' above the city entrance, and said with a sigh of relief.
At this moment, it was already night, and after running for half a day, Ye Tian was inevitably a little tired, so he did not continue to stay at the city gate, and after entering the city, he went to the Ye family's mansion.
Seeing that the door was closed, Ye Tian was not curious, after all, it was too late, so he stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Young family master, are you back?" After a family member opened the door, he saw that the person who knocked on the door was Ye Tian, and immediately asked.
Ye Tian nodded, "Is my father in the lobby, or is he back in the courtyard?"
"The head of the house is still in the lobby. ”
Hearing Ye Tian's inquiry, the family replied, but there was a struggle in his heart, and some words were about to be spoken, after all, he was just a subordinate, and he didn't know whether to say it or not.
Ye Tian didn't care about the family's expression, so he stepped into the mansion and walked towards the lobby.
Because it was getting late, there was no one else in the Ye family's courtyard except for some people walking around, and the children of the Ye family should all be cultivating in the room, or going to bed early.
About to arrive at the lobby of the Ye family, Ye Tian looked at the light shining from the door, and also sighed that his father was working too hard as the head of the family, getting up earlier than anyone else every day, but he was the last to rest.
In the lobby, Ye Zhan's brows tightened at this time, and he kept flipping through the account books in his hand, and heard the sound of walking from the door, and couldn't help but look up.
"Tian'er is back?"
Looking at the familiar figure who had just stepped through the door, Ye Zhan's originally anxious expression immediately calmed down, and he sat up happily and walked towards Ye Tian.
"Yes. Seeing his father's gaze fall on him, Ye Tian also touched his nose and smiled brightly.
"After a month of practice, there has been such a big change! It seems that Liu Lao is really attentive. ”
Withdrawing his gaze, Ye Zhan nodded and said, although Ye Tian in the past could not be regarded as thin, he was not strong, but now, although he was covered by robes, his sturdy physique was difficult to hide.
"Huh? I have actually advanced to the peak of the four-star, my family is really talented, haha!"
I remember that when Ye Tian first returned to the Ye family, he was just a two-star martial cultivator, and before leaving, he broke through to a three-star martial artist, and now it only took a month to break through again, and the realm has reached the peak.
All martial artists know that the breakthrough of the realm will become more and more difficult, seeing Ye Tian's terrifying breakthrough speed, Ye Zhan, as a father, also laughed with relief, although Liu Lao helped Ye Tian a lot, but more importantly, Ye Tian's own talent is good.
Seeing that his father was full of joy, Ye Tian also smiled.
Thinking of the anxiety on Ye Zhan's face when he entered the lobby, Ye Tian asked, "Father, was there anything difficult just now?"
Hearing Ye Tian's words, the smile on Ye Zhan's face slowly disappeared.
"Something happened in Fang City... During this time, there were mercenaries from outside who made trouble almost every day, saying that they bought fake hemostatic powder in Yejiafang City, or that the weapon was of poor quality and would be broken as soon as they were forced, all this must have been done by the Meng family!"
Ye Zhan clenched his fists tightly, and said angrily, the guards of Fang City once pulled out the mercenaries who were making trouble, but the effect was counterproductive, in the eyes of others, the Ye family became invincible because of the mysterious person as a backer, selling fake drugs to deceive others for profit.
Now the business of Yejiafang City is only one percent of the past, and the income is pitiful, but the business of Mengjiafang City is extremely prosperous, which is incomprehensible, if it continues for a long time, the Meng family will have to suppress the Ye family sooner or later.
The existence of the contradiction between the Meng family and the Ye family has not been a day or two, but Ye Zhan did not expect that the Meng family would do so absolutely this time.
"Isn't Meng Yuan afraid of Old Liu?"
Ye Tian's eyes suddenly turned cold, he had a good relationship with the Ye family in the auction house as Liu Lao, how could he not know with Meng Yuan's essence, and he really couldn't understand why Meng Yuan was so bold.
"He knows that Liu Lao is an alchemist, and thinks that Liu Lao will not interfere in the affairs of our two families with a detrimental identity, and when he learned that you were out of the city, he began to play small tricks, but he didn't know, Meng Yuan, an old horseman, where did he find so many strange mercenaries, and... There are two martial artists who have joined the Meng family as an offering, and one of them is a nine-star peak martial artist. ”
"Fortunately, some of our materials are sold by the City Lord's Mansion, which can barely maintain the daily life of the Ye family, otherwise our Ye family's heritage will be exhausted... That's it. ”
Ye Zhan said with a bored look on his hands, although Ye Tian recommended Li Jingsheng to join the Ye family, but there is one of the Meng family who is the peak of martial arts, once the war starts, the Ye family will definitely suffer, fortunately, the city lord's mansion and the Ye family stand together, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Meng Yuan, this old fellow, is there a good treasure, otherwise, how can he attract a peak martial artist to join the Meng family. ”
Ye Tian frowned and said, the peak of the martial artist is the strength of the chief elder of Xuanyang, which is enough to walk sideways in the nearby city, and suddenly a peak martial artist joins the Meng family, which will definitely change the power pattern of Nanbai City.
Ye Zhan didn't answer, because he couldn't figure out what benefits Meng Yuan had given this martial artist to the pinnacle.
"Lin Fan can achieve the position of the city lord, naturally he is not stupid, the strength of the Meng family can already threaten himself, there is no other way except to ally with the Ye family, it seems that the reason why the City Lord's Mansion helps the Ye family is not only because the teacher gave him the pill, but also to keep his position. ”
"Even if Meng Yuan tempted him with great benefits, Lin Fan would not help the Meng family, because he knew that once the Ye family was destroyed, the next one would definitely be the City Lord's Mansion. ”
Ye Tian didn't think much about it, so he explained the reason why the City Lord's Mansion helped the Ye family.
"Not bad!"
Ye Zhan recognized it very much, and the relief in his heart was even stronger, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he could see that the current situation was not simple.
"Father, rest assured, I'll go to Fang Market tomorrow to have a look. Ye Tian had already thought of how to solve the problem of mercenaries making trouble, and said with a cold look in his eyes.
"Tian'er is really ripe..."
A year ago, Ye Tian's dantian was shattered, and the second elder immediately came to force Ye Zhan to change his position as the head of the young family, how could Ye Zhan agree and keep dragging it out.
Since the Great Elder had no heirs, the Second Elder had always wanted his son Ye Chen to be the young head of the family, and the entire Ye family was well known, and he also privately attracted many important members of the family.
Recently, when he learned that Ye Tian had resumed cultivation, the second elder did not make any big moves on the surface, but he must have some calculation in his heart.
"If Tian'er can solve this problem at the moment, and return from his travels in the future, the position of successor will be difficult to shake, after all, the people of the Ye family are all for the sake of the whole family, if they find that Tian'er not only has talent but also brains, they will naturally not stand up against it. ”
Looking at Ye Tian's resolute expression, Ye Zhan nodded, very relieved in his heart.
