Chapter 25

~~

Ye Zhengqing glanced deeply at the departing dao vessel carriage, suddenly realizing that he didn't seem to know his grandson as well as he thought.

"Zhong'er, what's going on here?" Ye Hai frowned and asked, certain that Ye Zhong and Ye Wei were hiding something from them!

Everyone cast puzzled looks at Ye Zhong.

Ye Zhengqing looked at Ye Zhong with a serious expression.

"Xiao Wei has an extremely sharp spiritual perception, a talent to become a Divine Pattern Master. His mentor plans to recommend him to Master Yi, to become Master Yi's disciple!" Under everyone's gaze, Ye Zhong felt his scalp tingle. After some thought, he finally decided not to hide it anymore and revealed the truth, feeling somewhat apologetic. He had originally planned to let Ye Wei's cousin speak for himself, but now, with so many elders pressing him, he had no choice but to speak up.

"What?! A talent to become a Divine Pattern Master? To be recommended to Master Yi?!" Ye Yi stared at Ye Zhong in shock. As Ye Wei's father, he had no idea about such a significant matter!

Everyone was also shocked, staring at Ye Zhong in a daze, wondering if they were hallucinating.

For so many years, Ye Wei, who only had a Red-level Sea of Insight, had always been the least noticeable among the younger generation of the family. Although Ye Zhengqing and others tried to treat everyone equally, they couldn't help but overlook Ye Wei. After all, there were too many young members in the family, and resources were limited. To ensure the family's continued prosperity, they focused their main efforts on a few of the more talented young members.

However, no one expected that Ye Wei, who only had a Red-level Sea of Insight, actually possessed the talent to become a Divine Pattern Master! They were at a loss for words.

They never thought that the most overlooked Ye Wei would be the most promising among the younger generation!

"Having the talent to become a Divine Pattern Master! Could it be that our Ye family will produce a Divine Pattern Master?" Ye Zhengqing couldn't suppress his excitement, his voice trembling.

"I scolded Ye Wei a few days ago for not practicing hard enough..." Ye Hai felt a sense of guilt, realizing he had been wrong about Ye Wei. But why didn't Ye Wei say anything?

"Father, it's fine. Xiao Wei won't mind. I can feel that Xiao Wei has matured a lot!" Ye Zhong smiled slightly, his face full of pride.

Ye Yi's eyes were slightly red. Over the years, due to Ye Wei's talent issue, Ye Yi and Qiao Wan had grown gray hair. Now, all their heartache turned into joyful happiness, and he was extremely moved: "Son, you really are a credit to the family!"

A look of relief appeared on Ye Zhengqing's face. What he most hoped for was that the Ye family would have successors to revitalize the family. With Ye Wei's talent to become a Divine Pattern Master, the Ye family might reach new heights!

Ye Zhengqing clenched his fists tightly, looking at the Du family with determination. No matter what, they had to protect the ancestral land today! As long as they protected the ancestral land and secured enough time for the Ye family, perhaps they could wait for the birth of the Ye family's first Divine Pattern Master!

Du Yuanming looked at the Ye family members with a cold gaze, having overheard the mention of Master Yi.

"Ye Zhengqing has already signed the contract. As long as the Du family defeats the Ye family fairly, with the contract in hand, even Master Yi can't say anything!"

"Even if you can meet Master Yi, what does it matter? With Master Yi's detached and transcendent nature, he would never easily interfere in the affairs between the Du family and the Ye family."

"Besides, how could a small family like the Ye family possibly invite Master Yi?"

Du Yuanming sneered inwardly. The Ye family's hope in Master Yi was a delusion. Young Master Lü Feng wanted North Mountain Bay, and no matter what means the Ye family used, it would be useless! No matter how they struggled, they would eventually have to hand over the ancestral land obediently!

"Brother Ye, our Du family's representative is already on the arena. Who will the Ye family send to face him? You're not afraid, are you?" Du Yuanming looked at Ye Zhengqing mockingly.

Ye Wei had a powerful spiritual perception talent, but he wasn't yet a Divine Pattern Master. If they lost this match, the Ye family would scatter, and it would be unknown when they could rise again. Moreover, if the ancestral land was taken, how could they face their ancestors?

Ye Zhengqing frowned slightly, looking at Ye Zhong, Ye Qiu, and Ye Xuan. Du Xianhong from the Du family was a Four-star Warrior. Apart from Ye Zhong, no one in the young generation of the Ye family could match Du Xianhong.

"Grandfather, let me go. Although I'm not a match for Du Xianhong, I can at least make him expend some energy, paving the way for Cousin Ye Zhong!" Ye Xuan stepped forward, looking at Du Xianhong on the arena, and said solemnly.

"Grandfather, Du Xianhong is a Four-star Warrior. Even if Cousin Ye Xuan goes up, it won't make any difference. Let me handle it directly!" Ye Zhong also stepped forward. The Du family was well-prepared and wouldn't show any mercy. If Ye Xuan lost, it would be very bad.

"Grandfather, let me go first!" Ye Qiu also stepped forward, his face resolute.

The three most powerful young members of the Ye family were vying to take action, facing the Du family's challenge without any hesitation. They all knew what this match meant.

If the Ye family fell, where would they, the young members of the Ye family, go?

Even if they risked their lives, they had to protect the Ye family's legacy!

"Ye Xuan, you go!"

Looking at his three grandsons, Ye Zhengqing hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to let Ye Xuan go first. Even if Ye Zhong had made some progress, he couldn't withstand a three-person relay attack. He could only hope that Ye Xuan and Ye Qiu could wear down the opponent's strength.

"Yes!" Ye Xuan nodded heavily, his young face showing determination as he walked step by step onto the arena, heading towards Du Xianhong.

As soon as Ye Xuan entered the arena, the atmosphere became even more tense, and the battle was about to begin.

******

The dao vessel carriage was entirely blue, with divine patterns etched on its body, emitting a dazzling and beautiful glow. The carriage was square, three zhang long and wide, looking like an elegant small palace from a distance.

After being driven by the divine pattern arrays, the dao vessel carriage moved swiftly but very steadily. People inside the carriage felt no jolts, as if they were stationary.

The carriage was lined with expensive snow sable fur and had an elegant and refined zitan wood table, exuding a sense of luxury. However, Ye Wei wasn't in the mood to pay attention to these details. Although he was in the dao vessel carriage, his heart was still with the Ye family, on the arena!

"That Du Xianhong is a Four-star Warrior. Neither Cousin Ye Qiu nor Cousin Ye Xuan can match him. Du Han Yue from the Du family hasn't even acted yet. Will Cousin Ye Zhong have to take the first match for the Ye family?" Ye Wei frowned deeply. Du Han Yue was a Six-star Warrior, and Cousin Ye Zhong was only a Five-star Warrior. Even at his peak, the chances of Cousin Ye Zhong defeating Du Han Yue were slim. If Cousin Ye Zhong expended his energy early, it would be even more dangerous when facing Du Han Yue.

But if Cousin Ye Zhong didn't act, no one in the young generation of the Ye family could match Du Xianhong!

If they lost this match, what would happen to the Ye family?

"Ye Wei, is something bothering you?" Lin Zhiyan noticed that Ye Wei seemed a bit off. He had been silent and worried-looking in the dao vessel carriage, so she asked out of concern.

She didn't know that the match between the young members of the Du family and the Ye family was a matter of life and death for the Ye family. She thought it was just a common match between two families. In Qingyue City, and even throughout the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, matches between young members of families were very common.

"Nothing." Ye Wei shook his head. The Du family was one of the three major families in Qingyue City, with immense power. Now, the Du family was in league with General Zhou Wu of the City Lord's Mansion and President Dong He of the Linghe Chamber of Commerce. With these three forces united, what could Lin Zhiyan do?

The only hope was for Master Yi to intervene!

If he could show outstanding talent and gain Master Yi's favor, he might be able to invite Master Yi to intervene, right?

"Sister Zhiyan, will Master Yi take me as a disciple?" Ye Wei looked at Lin Zhiyan and asked, unsure in his heart.
