Chapter 51

Yeh Hai had a gloomy expression on his face as he silently escorted Qiao Zhengfeng, Qiao Pei, and Qiao Yin'er out of the Yeh residence.

When they left, Qiao Yin'er still appeared distracted and preoccupied.

Yeh Zhengqing sat upright in his chair, not showing the slightest sign of fatigue. He was in high spirits, but his eyes flashed with hidden anger.

"When the Du family was suppressing our Yeh family, the Qiao family stood aside and tried to distance themselves from us. Although it was somewhat unrighteous, I could understand it. After all, the Du family is one of the three major families in Qingyue City, and the Qiao family's actions were understandable," Yeh Zhengqing said with a slightly gloomy expression. "But I, Yeh Zhengqing, cannot tolerate the Qiao family's people humiliating Xiaowei like this!"

"They knew Xiaowei was suffering greatly due to his Red-level Sea of Consciousness, yet they still added insult to injury." Yeh Zhengqing was furious, and the jade teacup in his hand shattered into a cloud of powder.

"How cold-hearted people can be!" Yeh Hai sighed, feeling a chill in his heart.

"Since that's the case, from now on, there will be no more ties between our Yeh family and the Qiao family!" Yeh Zhengqing declared resolutely.

"Dragons do not live with snakes? Does she, Qiao Yin'er, really think she is a dragon?!" Yeh Jingjing said coldly. Her temper was fiery, and she could not tolerate anyone humiliating Xiaowei. Even the Du family, the Yeh family would dare to fight against them, let alone the small Qiao family. If Qiao Yin'er had dared to say another word humiliating the Yeh family, Yeh Jingjing would have definitely lost control and taken action.

"Stop all business dealings with the Qiao family!" Yeh Zhengqing said sternly. With the 1.6 million silver taels in compensation, the Yeh family no longer cared about the success or failure of their business.

If the news of the Yeh family and the Qiao family severing all business ties spread, the Qiao family's days in Qingyue City would not be easy.

Standing in front of Cousin Yeh Zhong's courtyard, Yeh Wei looked up at the clear sky.

"I will prove myself with my own strength. Although my divine pattern affinity is very low, I firmly believe that there is no obstacle I cannot overcome. Just like the change in my soul power, nothing is immutable. As long as I work hard, there will be results! I will make those who have humiliated me shut their mouths!"

During the three years at Nansheng Academy, Yeh Wei endured a great deal of humiliation, but it also made his character more resilient.

At this moment, Yeh Wei's slightly youthful face was filled with strong confidence.

Yeh Wei's confidence was not just because he had become Master Yi's only direct disciple, but more so because of the rapid improvement in his own strength. Although the Fourth Rank Apprentice Realm was far from powerful, it was much stronger than his previous First Rank Apprentice Realm.

The Falling Star Technique that Yeh Wei practiced had already reached the High Rank Mystic level. Combined with the Heavenly Dao power absorbed while helping Cousin Yeh Zhong perfect the White Tiger Killing Technique, and the consumption of the top-grade body-refining pill, the Fiery Sun Body-Refining Pill, Yeh Wei's true strength was much greater than that of an ordinary Fourth Rank Apprentice Realm expert.

Even an ordinary Fifth Rank Apprentice Realm expert might not be a match for Yeh Wei!

In just a few days, Yeh Wei had leaped from a First Rank Apprentice Realm waste to a person stronger than an ordinary Fifth Rank Apprentice Realm expert, something even geniuses could not achieve, but Yeh Wei did.

The three years of honing at Nansheng Academy had made Yeh Wei's mentality much more mature than his peers.

In the following days, Yeh Wei continued to practice diligently in Cousin Yeh Zhong's courtyard.

Yeh Zhengqing held a three-day banquet to celebrate the Yeh family overcoming the crisis and Yeh Wei becoming Master Yi's only direct disciple. The Yeh family was filled with guests.

In addition to inviting various major families, the Yeh family members also continuously inquired about the Heavenly Soul Grass from the major families.

However, no matter how hard they tried, they found nothing.

In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed, and Yeh Wei was about to return to the academy. Before leaving, Yeh Wei gave the perfected Falling Star Technique to his grandfather, Yeh Zhengqing.

When Yeh Zhengqing received the perfected Falling Star Technique, his shock was indescribable. It was a High Rank Mystic technique! In the entire Qingyue City, there were absolutely no more than five families that could produce a High Rank Mystic technique!

With this High Rank Mystic technique, plus the 1.6 million silver taels in compensation from the Du family, General Zhou Wu, and Dong He, it would not be long before the Yeh family's strength would rapidly improve!

When Yeh Zhengqing asked about the origin of the technique, Yeh Wei naturally attributed it all to his master, Yi Yan.

"Brother Yeh Zhong, I'm going back to Nansheng Academy..."

Yeh Wei looked at Cousin Yeh Zhong, who was lying on the bed, eyes tightly closed, face as pale as paper, still in a coma. He slowly picked up a hot towel and carefully wiped Yeh Zhong's face, memories of their time together flashing through his mind.

"Brother, my strength is not enough yet, so I can't avenge you for now, but rest assured, once I become a Divine Pattern Master, I will personally destroy the Du family!" Yeh Wei's eyes flashed with hatred.

"Master Yi is looking for the Heavenly Soul Grass. With Master Yi's status, if there is Heavenly Soul Grass in Qingyue City, he will definitely be able to obtain it. Don't look at Master Yi's messy appearance; he is actually very powerful," Yeh Wei said, gazing at Yeh Zhong's slightly yellowish face.

"It's time for me to go." Yeh Wei's eyes seemed to shimmer with tears. He tidied up Yeh Zhong's bedding and, with a heavy heart, walked out of the room.

Yeh Wei spoke lightly, but in his heart, he had no confidence. The Heavenly Soul Grass was extremely rare, and even if Master Yi took action, he might not be able to find it.

Even if he obtained the Heavenly Soul Grass and awakened Cousin Yeh Zhong, his Sea of Consciousness might not fully recover...

Could Cousin Yeh Zhong accept such a cruel reality?

"Brother Yeh Zhong, I will definitely find a way to help you recover your Sea of Consciousness, I swear!" Yeh Wei gently closed the door, took a deep breath, and clenched his fists tightly, making a silent vow.

Leaving Cousin Yeh Zhong's courtyard, Yeh Wei packed his things and left the Yeh residence, boarding the Yeh family's carriage and heading towards Nansheng Academy.

Grandfather wanted Yeh Wei to take a beast carriage to Nansheng Academy, as his status had changed. As Master Yi's only direct disciple, he had the right to take a special beast carriage. With the 1.6 million silver taels in compensation, the Yeh family's finances were now more comfortable, and they could afford a beast carriage worth three to five thousand silver taels.

However, Yeh Wei did not want to be too ostentatious and politely declined his grandfather's offer, taking the Yeh family's ordinary carriage to Nansheng Academy.

Most of the students at Nansheng Academy were commoners, with few from noble families. Those noble families that had been around for generations usually had their own methods for cultivating their descendants. Unless there was a special reason, noble family descendants would not study at Nansheng Academy.

Yeh Wei studied at Nansheng Academy because his Sea of Consciousness talent was too weak. Qiao Yin'er studied there because she was a girl, and the Qiao family's methods for cultivating descendants were not suitable for girls.

The noble family descendants who studied at Nansheng Academy all had various reasons. Those like Du Mingze, who ranked at the top of the entire Nansheng Academy, came for the High Rank Mystic technique, the "Nansheng Mystic Annihilation Finger."

In the entire Qingyue City, only three forces possessed High Rank Mystic techniques: the City Lord's Mansion, Master Yi, and Nansheng Academy!

The High Rank Mystic technique of the City Lord was passed down from the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty and would never be passed on to outsiders. Master Yi's High Rank Mystic technique was passed down from the Holy Academy, and he could only pass it to his only direct disciple.

Therefore, whether it was the High Rank Mystic technique Master Yi possessed or the one the City Lord possessed, outsiders had no hope of obtaining it.

The only hope was Nansheng Academy!

The High Rank Mystic technique of Nansheng Academy was created by the founder of the academy. The top geniuses at Nansheng Academy had the opportunity to challenge the "Tianlu Crimson Flame Array."

If they could perfectly pass the "Tianlu Crimson Flame Array," they could obtain the inheritance of the Nansheng Academy's High Rank Mystic technique!

Of course, this was extremely difficult. In the past few decades, only a few people had managed to pass the "Tianlu Crimson Flame Array."

"Let's stop here, you can go back now!" At the entrance of Nansheng Academy, Yeh Wei got off the carriage and gave some loose silver to the driver.

"Thank you, Young Master Yeh Wei!" The driver respectfully took the silver, a smile on his face. The young master was very polite to them, the servants. He had heard that the young master was now Master Yi's direct disciple, and the Yeh family was bustling with visitors. They, the servants, also felt honored. Even many noble family descendants came to curry favor, and the young master was still so kind, making him feel greatly honored. With this silver, he could go to the Drunken Immortal Tower for a good drink today.

Nansheng Academy had a three-month break, and each break lasted seven days. Today was the first day of school, and many students had gathered at the entrance of Nansheng Academy, bustling and lively.

Yeh Wei, carrying his simple luggage, walked along the main road that ran through Nansheng Academy, following the bustling crowd towards the dormitory.

He had been away from the academy for seven days and was carrying luggage, so he decided to tidy up his dormitory a bit before going to the classroom. There were no classes today, and there was a regular class meeting in the evening, so he wouldn't miss it.

However, when Yeh Wei reached his dormitory door, the scene that greeted him made his face turn extremely ugly. Anger burned in his chest, and his fists clenched tightly.

The dormitory was in a mess, the only table was broken, clothes were scattered on the floor, and the bedding was covered in urine, emitting a pungent smell.

"Who did this!" Yeh Wei was furious.

"Was it Xiao Qi?" Yeh Wei clenched his fists tightly, his eyes cold. The first person who came to mind was Xiao Qi, the top student of the Junior Third Class.

"No, it probably wasn't Xiao Qi... I showed my Divine Pattern Master talent in Sister Ziyuan's class. Although Xiao Qi seems arrogant and domineering, he is not stupid and is very timid. He probably wouldn't have the courage to provoke me again!"

"But if it wasn't Xiao Qi, who else would have a grudge against me? I don't think I've offended anyone, have I?"

Yeh Wei slowly exhaled, the flames of anger slightly subsiding, various thoughts flashing through his mind.

"Whoever you are, I, Yeh Wei, will not let you off!" Yeh Wei glanced at the messy dormitory, his heart cold.

Even if it wasn't Xiao Qi who did this, it was likely related to Xiao Qi!

In the Junior Third Class of Nansheng Academy, the classroom was already filled with many students, most of whom were commoners.

Noble family descendants were usually wealthy, and on the first day of school, they were likely at nearby taverns eating and drinking.

Bang!

Yeh Wei pushed open the door and entered the classroom, his gaze sweeping over everyone's faces.

Xiao Qi was not in the classroom!

Although Xiao Qi was not from a noble family, his parents were both senior class mentors at Nansheng Academy, and his family was quite wealthy. It was still early, and he had not arrived yet.
