Chapter 5: The Secret of the Yi Clan
Chapter 5: The Secret of the Yi Clan
Tianhao was the first to arrive.
"Father, do you have anything to do with us?", Tianhao's hair slowly quieted down, and the fluttering gray cloak also quietly drooped.
Yi Feng sat directly above the living room, looking at Tianhao with a somewhat sharp gaze: "Today's meeting is over, the third uncle will go to the mercenary group tomorrow, you can prepare tonight, and you will spend it with the third uncle tomorrow." The Yi tribe can't fall anymore, Tianhao, you must put your own safety first when you get there, you must not"
At this moment, Tianqi and Tianxue rushed in.
"Big brother, why are you running so fast" Tianqi panted and bent over, propping his hands on his knees. The snow was slightly better, but it was still a big gulp.
"You two are reckless, what kind of body are you doing", Yi Feng's cheeks twitched a little, and he said slightly angrily.
"Oh, I'm tired, is there anything Dad is looking for us?" Tianqi slowly straightened up and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Tianqi, you go down first, Tianxue, you stay for a while. Yi Feng took a soft breath in his heart and said lightly.
Looking at his father's serious appearance, Tianqi also understood that his father had something important to talk about with his eldest brother and sister, and he knew that it was not interesting, so he smiled and said, "Father, then I'll go down first" and then went down on his own.
"Tianhao, Tianxue, come here, come closer. I have something to tell you" Yi Feng saw Tianqi leave and disappeared out of sight, so he greeted Tianxue Tianhao.
Tianxue stepped forward and asked a little puzzled: "Uncle, it seems that there is something you can't let Tianqi know?"
"Well, Tianqi is still young, I'm afraid he won't be able to control his mouth, Tianhao already knows a rough idea, today I plan to sue you, the reason why I didn't sue you before is because this matter is a serious matter, and if you are not careful, it will attract the siege of some high-level sects of the Fili Empire. You won't blame your uncle, will you?" Yi Feng frowned, and said with self-blame.
"Xue'er really blames my uncle, I didn't have my father and mother when I was very young, and I even forgot what my father and mother looked like, it was my uncle and aunt who brought me up, fed me, dressed me, and sent me to school, I was given whatever I wanted, and treated me like my own daughter, no matter how unfilial Xue'er was, I didn't dare to blame my uncle and aunt. Uncle did this just because the matter was strict, and it was related to the safety of the entire Yi clan, how could Xue'er not understand it" Hearing what her uncle said, Yi Tianxue suddenly blushed and said from the bottom of her heart.
In fact, Yi Tianxue has long wanted to tell her inner gratitude to her uncle and aunt, and wants to do something within her power for the second elder to repay the second elder for his nurturing grace, and now, she finally said her inner gratitude, and Yi Tianxue's heart has become relaxed.
When Yi Feng heard this, he was also relaxed, exhaled slightly, and smiled.
And Yi Tianxue paused slightly, looked at Yi Feng's smiling expression, and then said, "It's just that Xue'er doesn't understand, why did Uncle tell SΓΉ Xue'er that heavy secret today?"
"You've grown up, and you're about to go to the Royal Academy of Phillip, and as a member of the Yi tribe, you should know a few things. Yi Feng said with a sigh.
"Then uncle, please tell me, I will strictly guard this secret", Yi Tianxue saw Yi Feng's expression was stern, and she knew that it was the big secret of the Yi clan, and she suddenly became stern.
"Did you know that thousands of years ago, there was a Pavilion in the Philip Empire, which was the holy place of the Philip Empire?" Yi Feng glanced at Yi Tianhao and said to Yi Tianxue.
"I don't know", Yi Tianxue replied truthfully, but seemed to suddenly realize, frowned, and asked tentatively: "Could it be that our Yi family established it?"
Yi Feng just nodded deeply, did not answer, took a breath, and said to himself: "For nearly a thousand years, generations of Yi people have constantly wanted to recover the Yi people, but the Yi people are still slowly withering. β
In this way, Yi Tianxue naturally understood why this secret could not be told, in fact, without thinking about it, which sect or local powerhouse would be willing to watch a defeated family with a glorious history rise again and climb on top of them? They will naturally obstruct it in every possible way, and even strangle this family that wants to rise again in the cradle. This is definitely not a good thing for the Yi people, so it must not be said.
"My father has always been very strict with us, in fact, I hope that our generation can one day restore the past glory of the Yi people, and now not many people know the existence of the Yi people, and if we don't work hard, the Yi people will gradually become an ordinary family. And the reason why I gave up the opportunity to study at the Royal Academy of Philip and went to the third uncle to be a mercenary instead of going elsewhere is because the third uncle's mercenary group is stationed in the dark city, the dark city is a chaotic place, but it is also a good place to create your own power, and the real purpose of my visit to the third uncle is actually to develop a powerful force in the dark city, so as to help the Yi clan regain the peak position of the strongest family in the Philip Empire. Seeing that his father nodded, he knew that it was time to tell all the secrets to Sister SΓΉ Xue'er, so Tianhao didn't hide it anymore and told it all.
"I don't want him to go because the Dark City is too dangerous, and I don't want you to take such a big risk for the sake of your family's mission. Looking at Yi Tianhao, who had matured, Yi Feng sighed apologetically.
In fact, Yi Feng knew that Tianhao's juniors were very talented, and it could be said that he was the most talented generation of the Yi clan in hundreds of years. He had to keep them safe, otherwise if something went wrong, the chances of revival would be even slimmer.
"Father, for that dream, our ancestors of the Yi tribe have been working hard. If we don't even dare to take this risk, how can we be worthy of our ancestors and hundreds of Yi people?" Yi Tianhao saw his father's guilt and thought of the hard work of the previous generation, and his feelings became fierce.
Yi Tianxue heard these words, and couldn't help but glance at Yi Tianhao a few times, there was a glimmer in her eyes, and that glimmer was full of admiration, for a girl like her with a haughty temperament flowing in her blood, she rarely admired a person, and today, obviously she not only let go of her arrogant temperament, but even blamed herself a little, blaming herself for being too ignorant before, unable to understand the hardships of the family, and unable to share worries for the family, the only thing she wants now is to do something for the family like Yi Tianhao.
"Uncle, what the eldest brother said is right, as a member of the Yi tribe, you must dare to take on the mission, uncle, I hope I can do something for the Yi tribe. β
"Actually, I'm not telling you this, not asking you to do anything, but I just hope that when you arrive at the Royal Academy of Phillip, try not to make enemies and cultivate well. If he insists on asking you something, Uncle only asks you to be able to become a strong man in the future, because this is what Uncle wants to see the most. Seeing Tianhao, Tianxue's love for the family, Yi Feng nodded unconsciously and said seriously.
"But, uncle, I really want to serve the family" Hearing Yi Feng say this, Yi Tianxue was also anxious, he imagined that Yi Tianhao would contribute to the family like him, even if it was a little bit, Yi Tianxue would get a little comfort in his heart. But now Yi Feng only asked her to cultivate hard in the academy, not to make enemies in the academy, is this to contribute to the family?
Yi Feng waved his hand, stopped him, and said with a smile: "Xue'er, it's enough for you to have this heart, in fact, if you become a strong man, it is the greatest help to our Yi clan, think about it, if the Yi clan has a strong person, wouldn't it be much easier to rebuild Yi Ge again and make it a holy place of the Fili Empire?"
"Father is right, now your strength is still relatively low, but your cultivation talent is extremely high, you are a rare genius in our Yi clan, cultivate well, when you become a strong person in the Huang Ling or even Xuan Ling realm, there is great hope for the revival of our Yi clan. In fact, Yi Tianhao didn't want Tianxue to take risks, after all, her strength was still weak, and she was still a girl.
"Big brother, I understand, I will cultivate well, and I will never insult the mission of the Yi clan", Tianhao's words, it was also Yi Tianxue who understood that his current strength was still very weak, and he couldn't help the family.
However, Tianxue also figured it out, although his current strength is weak and he can't contribute to the revival of the family, won't he be able to do it in the future? As long as a strong person appears in a family, everything will be easy to do, so Tianxue secretly made up his mind that when he comes to the academy in the future, he must study hard and become a strong man.
"It's good that you all understand, after saying so much, everyone is hungry, it's time to go to dinner", Yi Feng looked at the two juniors who understood the righteousness so well, and he was also very relieved in his heart. He didn't want them to go hungry.
"Father, I have one more important thing to say. Yi Tianhao saw his father get up and wanted to wait for them to eat, so he hurriedly got up and bowed his hands, and said with a stern but sincere expression.
"Are you referring to Xue'er going to the Royal Academy of the Phillip Empire, I also mentioned today's family meeting, everyone thinks it's better to go early, tomorrow, you are leaving, Tianxue, you also prepare tonight, let's leave tomorrow, when the time comes, let the three elders send you over." It is also nearly a thousand miles from here to the Royal Academy of the Philip Empire, and it will take ten days and a half months along the way, so you should leave early and get there early, so that you can get familiar with some of the environment", Yi Feng arranged.
When Tianhao saw his father talking about the snow, he didn't interrupt, but listened carefully like Yi Tianxue.
"Well, okay" Yi Tianxue didn't say anything. Only one word was promised.
When Yi Tianxue's matter was finished, Yi Tianhao continued: "Father, what I am referring to is not this matter, but a strange thing. β
"What's the matter with Tianqi?", Yi Feng was a little puzzled, but he knew that Tianhao would not talk nonsense, let alone make something out of nothing.
"Do you want to say that Tianqi's talent is very high, his talent can be said to be the most talented of our Yi clan, and maybe the hope of the revival of the Yi clan will be pinned on him in the future", Yi Tianxue guessed, although Yi Tianxue often quarreled with Tianqi, Yi Tianxue still admired her younger brother Tianqi.
"No," Yi Tianhao replied lightly.
"No? What is that? Brother Tianhao, don't sell it", Yi Tianxue is not a person who can stand his temper.
At this time, Yi Feng also looked at Yi Tianhao in a little surprise.
"What I want to say is that Tianqi may know the real reason why I went to the third uncle to be a mercenary. β
"How is it possible? If you didn't say it just now, I still don't know, how could he know if Tianqi is so young?" Yi Tianxue's face was full of astonishment, her eyes were wide open, and her long eyelashes were prominent, full of girlish charm.
"Tianhao, why do you say that?" Although Yi Feng was also stunned, he still had the demeanor of the head of a clan.
"I'm not very sure, but from that dinner I was asked why I went to the third uncle's and not to go anywhere else, and my observations in the past few days, I shouldn't be wrong," Yi Tianhao replied very solemnly.
Yi Feng and Yi Tianxue thought for a while, but in the end, Yi Tianxue still couldn't understand, so she had to sneer: "But this doesn't mean anything, the two have nothing to do with each other?"
"I don't know why you dare to be so sure just by Tianqi's words, Bai Hao", Yi Feng clearly knew that he didn't tell Tianqi the family's secrets.
Yi Tianhao's expression did not change at all, as if he guessed that Tianxue and his father would have this reaction, but continued: "Tianxue, do you remember when we roasted the hare today?" Tianqi once said when eating the hare, 'Brother, you eat more, there will be no such delicious rabbits in the Dark City', and also said, "Brother, Grandpa Yun once told me that the dark city is mixed with fish and dragons, praying mantis catches cicadas, and there are always yellow finches behind, if you want to mix well in the dark city, you have to be more flexible than rabbits." ββ
"Well, yes, yes, I remember he also told your eldest brother, 'Third Uncle's mercenaries are a bit influential in the Dark City. At that time, we laughed at him like a girl, verbose", Yi Tianxue said this, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "I understand, he told your eldest brother that all he told you was about the Dark City, it seems that he really guessed that the real purpose of your eldest brother is to create your own power in the Dark City."
"So, this kid is so much smarter than we think, and I can't even read what he's thinking. Yi Feng also realized, his face was a little happy, who doesn't want his son to be smart and smart?
"Does he know the family's secrets?Does he know that the family of a thousand years ago was actually the holy land of the Fili Empire?" Tianxue asked curiously.
"I don't know," Yi Tianhao shook his head.
"I'll ask him," Yi Tianxue said urgently.
Tianxue was about to go out, but was stopped by Yi Feng, "Since he didn't tell you clearly, he just didn't want to show it, so he didn't need to ask, and there was no need to mention this matter again."
