Chereads / The Strongest Dan God / Chapter 2 - The Declining Ye Clan

Chapter 2 - The Declining Ye Clan

Ye Zifeng was forcefully pulled away

by his sister into an empty place with

no people at all.

"Brother Zifeng, are you insane? Why

would you make this kind of bet with

someone like Wang Lin? If father

finds out, he'll definitely scold you

for making the Ye clan lose face

again….."

Xueyi's face was filled with austerity,

but anyone can see that she was

actually worried for her brother.

"Lose face? Why would I make the Ye

clan lose face? I'm going to win some

honor for our clan!" Ye Zifeng

rebutted.

At this time, he was almost done

putting all the piece of pertaining his

old memories back together. He

knows that the girl in front of him

was his sister and in the clan, asides

from this sister of his, no one else

cares about him at all.

Xueyi's eyes widened, "You want to

win honor for our clan? I'm not

hearing things… right? Brother Zifeng,

did they actually beat you until you turned crazy?

I can't let this go….. I'm going to get revenge for you!"

She had grown up playing with Ye

Zifeng, so of course she would care

for him. In her eyes, even if Ye Zifeng

was a good for nothing, she couldn't

stand other people bullying him.

And now, he probably turned into a

crazy lunatic from all those beating

that he had received.

Ye Zifeng quickly pulled her back,

"Don't worry about it. I didn't go

crazy. My mind is as clear as it can

be. From what I know, I don't think

my mind had ever been clearer than it

is now! Don't find them for trouble…

You'll only dirty yourself."

"Okay then…. I'll listen to brother. I'll

let them get away with it this time.

Otherwise, I'll let them understand

the difference between my 8th Stage

of Qi Refining and their abilities."

While saying that, Xueyi stomped

both her feet and pouted to vent her

anger and discarded the idea of

revenge. This cute and adorable side

of hers was completely different from

the ice cold girl from before. Of

course, only her brother was able to

see this side of her.

Ye Zifeng coughed faintly and felt

warmth in his heart for the first time

in a long time, "It seems like the

feeling of having a family member

care for you feels pretty good." Before

crossing into this world, he was an

orphan and a crazy alchemist. All of

his interactions with people were

filled with pretense and compliance.

He had never felt genuine feelings

before.

'What did you say?"

Ye Zifeng softly shook his head,

"Nothing. I was just a bit moved."

Ye Xueyi took a deep breath and

calmed herself down. She couldn't

bear seeing her brother's body filled

with injuries. Whenever she sees her

brother injured, her nose would feel

sour as if she was about to cry.

"Brother...If only you weren't a

good for nothing…. I'm not asking for

much… at least you won't be bullied

by people like Wang Lin…"

The thing that Ye Zifeng can't stand

the most is a woman's tears. Thus, he

didn't want to explain much and

showed her that he was being serious.

This was because he didn't want

someone who cares for him to shed

tears for him.

"Okay, let's not talk much. Three days

is not a long time. I need to start

preparing right away. It's getting late

too, so let's go home."

After walking a few steps, he felt that

something was wrong. He

embarrassingly turned around.

"Right, uhhh Sis, which way is the

way to our house?"

Ye Xueyi was speechless…

Twenty years ago, the Ye clan could

be regarded as a large clan. They

were able to compete with Wang clan

in the east, the Liu clan in the west

and was one of the Leizhou City's

three great families.

However, everything changed when

Ye Zifeng was born.

Ye Zifeng was natural born sick

person. His meridians had been check

by many famous doctors and he was

labeled as "A trash that only appears

once every a hundred years." After

cultivating for so many years, he was

still at the 2nd Stage of Qi Refining,

and became the laughing stock of the

entire Leizhou City. In addition, due

to his sickness, it required his father,

the Ye clan patriarch to repeatedly

transfer True Qi energy into his body

every once in awhile to keep him

alive.

As for his cultivation ability, His

father, Ye Chongtian, had already

given up on him.

But now, this good for nothing son of

his was calmly sitting in front of him,

examining the teacup in his hands,

and drinking it in a manner as if he

was a great master.

"You…What did you just say? You

want to refine pills?" When Ye

Chongtian heard this a moment ago,

he couldn't restrain himself and spat

out the tea that he was drinking.

Ye Chongtian's stared at Zifeng

blankly and then looked away. He

turned and looked at Xueyi.

"What happened? Your brother…

What's wrong with him?"

"Father, Brother was beaten by some

people today, I think that there's

something wrong with his head. I

think that it's because it has been a

while since you transferred True Qi

into his body. How about you transfer

some more True Qi and help brother

out right now?..."

Xueyi worryingly said. After returning

home, she wasn't the icy cold girl

from the sect anymore. She basically

reverted back to a little girl who is

pampered by her parents. Only her

brother and parents would see her

like this.

Ye Chongtian furrowed his brows and

shook his head, "Xueyi, it's not like I

don't want to help him but by giving

him my True Qi, my cultivation had

almost dropped from the Martial Soul

stage down to the Martial Practitioner

stage. If I continue giving him my Qi,

the one who's bullied won't be him

but our entire Ye clan!"

"But... Father, If you won't help

brother, no one else would help

him….." Ye Xueyi softly bit her lips.

Actually, she understood what her

father was talking about. Let's not

talk about being bullied, but if her

father gets anymore weaker, the Ye

clan would be driven out of Leizhou

City. As a fallen clan of what used to

be the three great clans, they had

harbored hatred and jealousy from

the other clans and those clans would

try their hardest to suppress the Ye

clan.

In the Martial Spirit Continent, the

strong devours the weak. Cultivation

level was divided into eight levels:

Martial Disciple, Martial Practitioner,

Martial Soul, Martial Lord, Martial

Emperor, Martial Ancestor, Martial

Saint and Martial God. People like Ye

Zifeng and Ye Xueyi who were still at

the Qi Refining Stage, they couldn't

even be considered as cultivators

much less help the family at all.

Although the Ye family was large, as

the patriarch, Ye Chongtian single

handedly carried all the weight of the

family.

"Father…. Please!" Ye Xueyi blinked a

few times and pouted like a cute sad

dog.

Ye Chongtian waved his hands signal

for her to go away, "Xueyi, stop using

this move every time. This time, I will

definitely not give that good for

nothing son any True Qi!"

In all these years, his cultivation had

been dropping instead of rising. This

was because he had constantly

transferred True Qi into Ye Zifeng to

help prolong his life. This time, he

had decided that he wouldn't do so

anymore.

At that moment, Ye Zifeng opened his

mouth and said, 'Who said I want

your True Qi? Transferring True Qi

into my body would only help for

awhile. It'll only make my body more

reliant on your True Qi and stop

developing!"

Hearing this, Ye Chongtian was

shocked. If anyone else had said this,

he would believe them. But these

words came out of his good for

nothing son's mouth. It felt a bit

weird to believe such words. Usually

Ye Zifeng is very cowardly and

wouldn't even look at him in the eyes,

much less talk face to face with him.

However, he didn't pay any mind to

these small details and laughed,

"Zifeng, it seems like you finally

understand your father. You've grown

up. Just hold on for a bit more. After

your father stabilizes himself in the

Martial Soul Stage, then I'll transfer

some True Qi to you."

Ye Xueyi couldn't help but stare

blankly at Zifeng and felt a bit angry

for him.

"That's why I said I want to refine

some pills before!"

Ye Xueyi quickly grabbed his sleeves

and shook him, "Brother. Stop talking

back. Why are you still acting crazy!"

Ye Chongtian closed his eyes and took

a deep breath, "Okay. Bring him

downstairs. It seems like Xueyi isn't

wrong. He really did get beaten so

much that he turned crazy!"1

Ye Zifeng genuinely and seriously

rebutted, "I can go down, but only

after you give me a furnace and

prepare the ingredients that I have

written down on this paper. If you do

that, I'll leave immediately."

Ye Chongtian tried his hardest to hold

himself back. His hand shook in anger

and said, "You bastard. If you keep

talking like a lunatic, I'll throw you

into the cellar and have you reflect

on your actions against the wall for

three days.

Ye Zifeng didn't quit and continued to

ask, "Let it be then. Put me in the

cellar. I'll do whatever you want as

long as you get me a furnace and my

ingredients…."

"You!" Ye Chongtian slammed his

hand on the table and stood up. As a

Martial Soul stage practitioner he was

able to release and control his power

to pressure people. His glare revealed

a hint of pressure that pressed down

on Ye Zifeng.

"Father!" Ye Xueyi yelled from the

side. It was only then did he release

his pressure and regain his

composure.

Seeing how Ye Zifeng was still barely

standing and looking at him with

determination in his eyes, Ye

Chongtian was shocked.

"Fine. I'll get you a furnace and the

ingredients you want. If you have the

ability, I don't want to see you make

piles of slag!"

After he fiercely replied, he turned

his back to the two, signaling that

they should leave.

"Okay, Brother we can go now." Ye

Xueyi pulled Ye Zifeng.

"Hold on a moment." Ye Zifeng, took

the piece of paper with the

ingredients out, left it on the desk

and left with his sister.

It seems like the Ye clan really had

fallen. He couldn't help but sigh.

After a while, he calmed down and

without knowing, he reached for the

piece of paper that Zifeng had left. He

shot a glance at the strong and

straight writing on the paper.

"When did this kid learn to write so

nicely? Every time I had him write, I

would yell at him for writing his

letters like drawing an earthworm.

Could it be that since he knows he'll

be a trash in cultivating that he

started to learn literature?"

Ye Chongtian laughed bitterly and

began to look at the ingredients that

his son had listed.

With after a rough glance, his

expression changed dramatically.

After carefully reading what was

listed, his hands began to tremble.

When he had finished reading the

entire list, he felt as if lightning had

struck him. His entire body shook and

he was left speechless.
