Ye Tian seemed to regard him as a life-saving benefactor, but he didn't know his true identity and always called him 'Yang Gongzi'.

Yang Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He is not Yang Gongzi at all, just an impostor.

"I am the guard of the Ye family, and I was ordered by the young master to go to Qinglong City to find the imperial city elixir to worship.

Brother Ye won't even believe me as a guard! ”

He glanced at Ye Tian indifferently.

Rumble!

A rushing aura suddenly erupted from his body.

That breath invisibly exuded a strong and domineering coercion, causing the void to hum.

"Half-step Yuan Martial Sect?"

Ye Tian took a deep breath, his face was cloudy.

"Brother Ye, we still need to confirm it further!"

Yang Fan said lightly.

He judged from Ye Tian's expression that his martial arts realm was not exposed.

However, he is also reluctant to entangle with the other party for too long, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

"Well, okay!"

Ye Tian nodded.

Although Yang Fan's realm is very hidden, his martial arts realm has reached the fifth order martial artist, far surpassing Yang Fan.

Therefore, he could keenly perceive the true yuan fluctuations and qi and blood power contained in Yang Fan's body.

If the other party dares to deceive him, he will definitely not hesitate to make a move.

Sou! Sou!

The two of them vanished as an afterimage.

"Humph!"

Seeing this, the Ye family disciple who was guarding the door snorted coldly in his nose, and his eyes showed a fierce light.

"This guy is actually a martial disciple nine-fold cultivator, how can he have such a strong strength?"

Ye Tian frowned and said secretly.

Among the Nanling, among his peers, it is rare for a cultivator of Yang Fan's age to reach the ninth level of martial arts.

He guessed in his heart that the other party should not be a native of Nanling, but a disciple of a great sect from a certain dynasty in the Eastern Wilderness.

"Such a top Tianjiao, what are the intentions of coming to my Ye family?"

Ye Tian secretly guessed in his heart.

He felt that all of this seemed to be related to a major event in the Ye family.

It's a pity that his status is humble, and it is impossible to find out this layer of secrets.

The Ye family's house is quiet.

Yang Fan stood in a remote corner, silently observing Ye Tian.

"This storage ring contains tens of thousands of catties of spirit stones, which can be regarded as making up for my previous sin of stealing."

A playful smile crossed his lips.

Woohoo!

Yang Fan snapped his fingers and shot out two wisps of purple flames.

These two wisps of flame are the Purple Star Emperor Fire, which specializes in burning heaven and earth treasures and weapons, and are excellent materials for refining high-level magic weapons.

Snort~ Snort!

Two wisps of Purple Star Emperor Fire fell on the spirit stones, blazing.

However, Yang Fan did not continue refining.

Therefore, he left them where they were for the time being, preparing to slowly refine them later.

"Ye family, I'm here!"

Yang Fan's eyes were resolute, and he stepped on the steps of the Ye family.

Da! Da!

Foot on the ground and walk forward step by step.

"Who?"

As soon as Yang Fan landed at the gate of the Ye family, he encountered two guards.

They looked at Yang Fan vigilantly.

The Ye family is the second largest family in the imperial city, and the guards are naturally strict, so it is difficult for ordinary people to sneak into the Ye family quietly.

"My name is Yang Fan, and I am here to send things to the old man on the order of the young master."

Yang Fan said calmly.

He handed a jade slip to the guard.

"Yang Fan?"

The two guards glanced at Yang Fan a few times.

Immediately, one of them took the jade slip and walked into the mansion to report.

"Brother Yang, please come with me."

The guard led Yang Fan and walked towards the back garden.

Back garden.

The ancestor of the Ye family sat in the pavilion, drinking tea and enjoying the scenery, enjoying himself.

"Daddy!"

At this time, a guard hurried in.

"What? Is Yang Fan here? ”

The Ye family ancestor asked.

"Sir...... He is not Yang Fan, he is another person named Yang Fan. ”

The guards stopped talking.

"Oh? It's not Yang Fan, could it be Yang Fan's brother or younger brother? ”

The ancestor of the Ye family was stunned when he heard this.

According to the rules of the Ye family, the heirs of the Ye family must have the surname Ye.

"No, he's ...... An outsider! ”

The guard said stiffly.

"Outsiders?"

When the ancestor of the Ye family heard this, his eyes suddenly narrowed into a slit, and there was essence in his eyes that burst out.

"Which sect disciple is he?"

He then asked.

"Tell the master, it's a person named Nanling Yang's family."

The guard replied.

"Nanling Yang family?"

When the ancestor of the Ye family heard this, he was stunned at first, and then immediately burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, I see!"

He suddenly understood everything, and his expression became more and more excited.

Nanling is extremely far away from Beiliang County, and I think that the young master of the Yang family was passing by Beiliang County, and came here by the way, wanting to use the power of the Ye family to go to the Southern Regions to find relatives.

"That young master of the Yang family has good qualifications, if he can join my Ye family, he will definitely become an excellent martial artist."

The ancestor of the Ye family had his thoughts flying.

Although he only had the sevenfold peak of martial arts, after all, he had lived for four hundred years and had seen many amazing martial arts geniuses.

"Since you are sincerely visiting the Ye family, come in!"

Thinking of this, he raised his eyes and shouted at Yang Fan.

"Thank you, Ye Lao."

Yang Fan arched his hand and strode into the courtyard.

Inside the Ye family hall.

Yang Fan looked around, his eyes flashed slightly, and he was slightly surprised:

"I didn't expect the room where Ye Tian lived to be so luxurious and rich."

In this courtyard, there are many rare plants and plants, each of which is worth a thousand gold.

Not only that, but the formation was also arranged in the courtyard, which made the aura of heaven and earth extremely strong.

Cultivating in such a courtyard is far faster than in other places.

In addition, in the center of the courtyard is a simple sandalwood table with a variety of precious tea sets and fine wine and delicacies.

"This cup of spirit wine is brewed with the legs of the six-grade spirit beast Qinglin Lion Beast and the three-hundred-year-old snow lotus, which is the treasure of the Ye family's Zhen clan, and it is extremely precious."

Ye Tian raised his wine glass and said lightly.

The green lion grows in the ice and snow.

It is rumored that they are fiery and short-tempered, and often like to attack their prey, so they are known as the "Iron Hoof Lion Beast".

The flesh of the green lion is tender and smooth, nourishing and aphrodisiac, and has miraculous effects, making it an excellent tonic.

Therefore, every time the Ye family returns from hunting, they will collect a large number of Qinglin lion legs, and then cook them into a delicacy to entertain guests.

"Six-grade spirit beasts? Isn't this equivalent to a martial artist? ”

Yang Fan's eyes were slightly condensed, a little shocked.

"Not bad."

Ye Tian nodded.

The six-grade spirit beast is equivalent to a martial arts level demon beast, which is comparable to a martial artist at the peak of a martial apprentice.

"Ye Gongzi, I can't get used to your glass of wine."

Yang Fan shook his head.

"Little friend, I don't know what you like?"

Ye Tian asked with a smile.

In the Ye family, only Ye Chen is eligible for this treatment.

As for other martial apprentices and martial artists at the level of martial artists, they are not qualified to enter.

Ye Tian was quite curious about Yang Fan, and didn't know why he refused such a feast.

"I love meat!"

Yang Fan responded lightly.

Hearing this, Ye Tian raised his eyebrows.

Yang Fan's request is too strange, under normal circumstances, anyone who sees a table full of rare delicacies can't wait to feast.

"Young Master Yang, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate."

The guard next to him hesitated.

He could see that Yang Fan was dressed ordinarily and was not a powerful person.

And the Ye family's treasured delicacies, all of which are mainly spirit animals, which contain extremely large amounts of energy, which are not suitable for ordinary people to eat.

"At this point, I won't bother Your Excellency to worry."

Yang Fan said coldly.

He came to the Ye family today to find Yang Xuan.

If he couldn't see Yang Xuan, he would rather go back empty-handed.

"Hmph, that's arrogant!"

The guard's face sank and he whispered.

"Where is Yang Xuan, take me to see him."

Yang Fan was too lazy to take care of the guard.

"My son Yang Xuan is now in retreat and penance, so he shouldn't be disturbed."

Ye Tian waved his hand and asked the guards to retreat.

These days, he has been in retreat and sprinting to the nine-star martial artist.

Now that he is a nine-star martial artist, if he wants to break through, he needs an epiphany, so Yang Xuan will choose to retreat.

"Retreat? That's it. ”

Yang Fan sighed slightly.

He originally thought that Yang Xuan, as a disciple of the Ye family, would be able to help.

As a result, he couldn't even meet the previous face.

"My Ye family has always treated people with etiquette and never fought with others. If you want to enter Nanling for training, my Ye family is willing to provide you with a letter of guarantee. ”

Ye Tian stood up, looked at Yang Fan seriously, and said loudly.

"Guarantee? No need! I'll go to Nanling on my own, and I'm not sure, what if I fall in Nanling? ”

Yang Fan said lightly.

He went to Nanling this time, mainly to look for traces of his mother.

The second is to obtain some resources in order to enhance his strength.

"You junior really doesn't know how to be thick."

The guard couldn't help but sneer.

Yang Fan is a fifth-order martial artist, and if he wants to cross the South Ridge, it is simply wishful thinking.

The Ye family's martial arts Tianjiao Yang Tianzong also took three years to cross the Nanling Ridge.

"Boy, who are your parents?"

Ye Tian asked with a frown.

"My father's name is Yang Tianba, and my mother's name is Su Rourou."

Yang Fan replied lightly.

"Su Rourou? Hasn't she been missing for more than a decade? ”

Ye Tian muttered to himself.

He'd heard people talk about it.

Su Rourou, the second wife of the Yang family, is the first beauty in Dongyue City, and she was outstanding back then.

It's just that a few years ago, she suddenly disappeared without a trace.

This incident caused a sensation in the entire Dongyue City, which made many people regret it.

Ye Tian didn't expect that Yang Tianba and Su Rourou, who had not shown up for more than ten years, were actually related to Yang Fan.

Don't......

He suddenly stared at Yang Fan with round eyes and looked at Yang Fan carefully.

"Yang Fan, shouldn't your father be the person he was back then?"

Ye Tian lowered his voice and asked quietly.

The 'that person' in his mouth refers to Yang Tianba, who was on the hidden dragon list back then and was respected as Tianjiao.

Yang Fan did not refute and acquiesced.

Seeing this, Ye Tian took a deep breath, feeling that his head was dizzy and swollen, as if he was wandering in the clouds.

More than ten years ago, Yang Tianba made a big splash in Dongyue City, causing countless Tianjiao to compete frantically.

In the end, he lost to Lin Xiao, who ranked second on the hidden dragon list.

However, after the defeat, Yang Tianba was not depressed, but cheered up and stepped into the land of Nanling again.

Ye Tian clearly remembered that not long after he stepped into Nanling, he encountered danger.

Fortunately, he was not unlucky, and he happened to meet Yang Tianba.

Since then, the two have cherished each other and traveled to Nanling together.

Ye Tian originally thought that Yang Tianba had already lost his life, but now Yang Fan told him that Yang Tianba had come back alive!

"Brother Yang, where have you been all these years? Why haven't I heard the news of your return to Dongyue City? ”

Ye Tian asked excitedly.

Although he lost to Lin Xiao back then, he was convinced.

After all, Lin Xiao is not only talented and has great combat power, but also has great ambitions, and has always wanted to dominate Nanling and establish a country that surpasses the dynasty.

But Yang Tianba didn't, and was willing to stay in Dongyue City and be an idle warrior.

This is where Ye Tian admires Yang Tianba.

Therefore, he was full of respect for Yang Tianba and came from the bottom of his heart.

"It's a long story."

Yang Fan said lightly: "Since you know my name, you might as well do something for me first." ”

"You say."

Ye Tian did not hesitate at all, and said bluntly.

"Please help take care of my friend."

Yang Fan spoke slowly.

The moment he left, he entrusted Shen Ling and Li Yuanba to the Ye family.

If the Ye family dared to bully Shen Ling and the others, he would definitely come to the Ye family in Nanling to ask for an explanation!

"No problem."

Ye Tian patted his chest and agreed.

"Then I'm leaving."

After speaking, Yang Fan prepared to leave.

"Wait!"

Ye Tian hurriedly called out to Yang Fan.

"Is there anything else going on with the Ye family master?"

Yang Fan stopped.

"You came to me for something?"

Ye Tian was a little surprised.

"Something."

Yang Fan nodded.

"Come with me."

Ye Tian waved his hand and took the lead in walking towards the inner courtyard.

"Master Ye, are you sure you want to greet this hillbilly alone? The few of us joined forces, and it was enough to suppress him! ”

"That's right, my lord!"

The guards on the perimeter agreed.

"Get out."

Ye Tian shouted angrily, making the group of guards tremble in fright, and ran away.

"Yang Fan, you come with me."

Ye Tian continued to move forward.

He took Yang Fan straight to the outside of a house, pushed the door in, and then closed the doors and windows.

Yang Fan looked up.

Inside the room, there was a bed on which an old woman lay down.

The old woman had silver hair, her face was as pale as paper, and her breath was weak, as if she would choke her breath at any moment.

"Mother!"

Seeing the appearance of the old woman, Yang Fan trembled violently, and tears involuntarily flowed down his eyes.

"Yang Fan?"

Sensing the movement, Ye Lan ran out of the house and looked at Yang Fan in surprise.

"Lan'er, over the years, you have taken good care of your mother!"

Yang Fan said a word of advice to Ye Lan, turned around, and stared at the old woman lying on the bed, her eyes moist.

His eyes gradually turned cold, revealing a cold and piercing cold.

He didn't expect that his mother, Ye Lanzhi, would be reduced to Si.

"Master Ye, what did you do to my mother?!"

Yang Fan asked in a cold voice.

"Alas, Yang Fan, don't be impulsive, sit down and talk."

Ye Tian shook his head slightly, and then pulled Yang Fan to sit on the stool.

He picked up the teacup, took a sip of fragrant tea, and then slowly spoke:

"Yang Fan, I know everything about you. In the past sixteen years, I have suffered you! ”

"The Ye family master is polite."

Yang Fan waved his hand.

"All these years, you have been hiding in Nanling, no wonder I sent people to look for it so many times, but found nothing."

Ye Tian said in a deep voice.

"Back then, when I fought with Lin Xiao, my body was shattered, my soul fell into a deep sleep, I was lucky enough to pick up a life, and I recovered my body in a secret place somewhere in Nanling, and then returned to my hometown."

Yang Fan explained.

He didn't want to say anything, he just hoped that Ye Tian could complete his business as soon as possible, and then quickly leave Dongyue City and go to Nanling.

"I see."

Ye Tian nodded.

"Then it's going to trouble the Ye family master."

Yang Fan said with a fist and turned to leave.

He didn't want to stay here anymore, worried that he wouldn't be able to control his emotions.

"Yang Fan, I'll send you."

At this time, Ye Tian stood up and said.

"No need, thank you Ye Family Master!"

Yang Fan refused.

"You still call me Uncle Ye."

Ye Tian smiled bitterly.

He didn't want his son-in-law to call him uncle, the painting style was too weird.

However, Yang Fan still insisted.

"Okay."

In the end, Ye Tian could only compromise.

"I'll get you out of town."

After Ye Tian finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the city gate.

Yang Fan bowed his head slightly and followed behind him.

Outside the Ye family's mansion, there was already a luxury carriage parked.

Seeing Ye Tian come out, a young man in black clothes greeted him, bowed down and said, "Uncle Ye." ”

"Hmm. Xiaofan, this is my nephew Ye Feiyang. He is only seventeen years old this year, his strength has reached the level of a half-step grandmaster, his talent is excellent, and his future prospects are limitless. ”

As he spoke, Ye Tian pointed to the young man and introduced him to Yang Fan.

"Ye Feiyang, I've seen Brother Fan!"

The young man said with a smile.

"Hmm."

Yang Fan nodded, and then got into the carriage.

Soon, the group of three went out of the city.

The Yang family, Yang Fan's hometown.

Along the way, Ye Feiyang kept smiling.

Although he is young, he has the air of a young man and an old man, revealing very deep experience.

The group of three soon came to the ancestral land of the Ye family.

Ye Tian stopped, pointed to a continuous mountain range, and said, "This is your mother's graveyard. ”

Hearing this, Yang Fan was saddened.

My mother is buried here, and it is also the reason why my mother was forced to flee to Nanling in the first place.

For 16 years, he had been trying to find his mother, but he had not heard from him.

Now, he finally found his mother's grave, but he was extremely uncomfortable.

At this time, Ye Tian sighed and said, "For the past sixteen years, I have been secretly investigating your mother's affairs, and I finally have an eyebrow......

Yang Fan raised his head and stared at Ye Tian with burning eyes.

"Your mother didn't die back then!"

Ye Tian said with certainty.

Bang!

Yang Fan's mind was like a thunderbolt, deafening.

His eyes widened, staring at Ye Tian deadly.

This scene made Ye Lan next to her frightened, she didn't expect Ye Tian to suddenly confide the truth to Yang Fan, making Yang Fan suffer a huge blow.

"Uncle Ye, what did you just say?!"

After a long time, Yang Fan reacted and said in a trembling voice.

"I said that your mother is not dead, your mother is just temporarily trapped in a secret realm!"

Ye Tian said seriously:

"However, I'm just guessing, because that secret realm was sealed by a strong man, and I can't break it at all, otherwise I wouldn't have to lure you to Dongyue City."

"Where's that secret place?"

Hearing the news that his mother was not dead, Yang Fan's heart was full of excitement.

"It's in the Western Regions."

"If you want to save your mother, go to the Western Regions. That secret realm is located deep in the Ancient Forest, and you need to traverse the entire forest. ”

Ye Tian told Yang Fandao.

"I see."

Yang Fan nodded, and then took his leave.

"I'll help you get rid of those people."

Before leaving, Ye Tian said lightly.

"Thank you, Master Ye."

Yang Fan thanked him, then turned around and walked away.

"Uncle Ye, how can you let him go on an adventure alone? What if you are in danger?! ”

Seeing this, Ye Lan anxiously dissuaded.

"Lan'er, you don't understand."

"I always had the feeling that the kid seemed to be hiding a lot of secrets."

Ye Tian said meaningfully.

"I don't understand."

Ye Lan was confused.
