"What's wrong?" Ye Dahai stared straight at Ye Yan, "I see you're very capable. To think you crippled a man last night. How great!"
When Ye Yan heard this, he knew that he would have a hard time tonight. Ye Dahai would never let him off. However, he had to struggle no matter the circumstances. As such, he smiled brightly and tried to explain, "Dad, please don't get agitated. Listen to me! Look, our village is so peaceful, and everyone gets along well with each other. Yet Liu Yi's eldest uncle is so arrogant and domineering, messing with others. Tell me, can you tolerate this? I couldn't, so I solved the matter. I also did it for the people, so please forgive me!"
Ye Dahai felt that his son's words made sense. His expression softened, but he still said, "I don't care what that Liu Tao is like, but you're only eight years old. With such a small body, even if you're cultivating to become a celestial, you can't force yourself. What if you can't beat him and hurt yourself? "
It sounded as if he was scolding Ye Yan, but in fact, the worry for Ye Yan was a larger part of Ye Dahai's emotions, which made the former feel warm and touched.
Seeing that his dad wasn't that angry, Ye Yan laughed and sat at the table, "Dad, please forgive me this once. You know how smart I am. If something goes wrong, I'll run immediately. Come, the food is cold. Let's eat!"
At this point, Ye Dahai did not intend to pursue the matter any further. The three of them picked up their bowls and started eating. Ye Yan stuffed half a vegetable bun into his mouth, then scooped some soup and drank it. He said to Ye Dahai, "Dad, bring me along to the market tomorrow!"
"Fine! I'll bring you along, but don't cause me any trouble, or I'll beat you up," Ye Dahai didn't even turn his head. He was focused on his dinner.
After dinner, Ye Yan lay in the room, thinking about the current situation of each mission. The first was the disciple mission. This mission obviously did not count him as a disciple. At present, including Xiao Bai, there were already seven disciples. Three more would be enough.
The two construction missions were still in the preparation stage. In the past two days, with everyone's storage bags and his internal storage, the speed of digging was far faster than what he had previously imagined.
They would probably only need to dig tomorrow for another four hours, and the soil needed to build the hall would be enough. The only thing he needed to consider now was wood. He had not started preparing a large amount of wood at all. Just as he was thinking about how to quickly solve the problem of the wood, the system's notification sounded.
[Ding! Disciple Ye Wen has broken through to the first level of the beginner Qi-forging Realm.]
Another disciple had broken through! Ye Yan was overjoyed that his big brother finally broke through. It had been fast! Usually, Ye Wen would cultivate in the morning and learn carpentry from their grandpa in the afternoon. Ye Yan thought that the latter's cultivation time would thus be less than half of the others, but he didn't expect that his big brother would still cultivate diligently when he got home. Moreover, his cultivation speed was even faster than most people who practiced for a day. As expected of someone with a one-in-ten-thousand aptitude, his cultivation speed was excellent!
The next day, when the rooster crowed, the entire village came to life. Everyone woke up early and began preparations to go to the town market.
Dumen Village's villagers would collectively go to the town market once a month, so it was a very grand event for the people. In the following month, the family's necessities had to be bought from this market.
At the same time, the villagers also packed some of the eggs laid by the chickens at home, potatoes, peanuts, and fungi they grew at home, preparing to bring these items to town to exchange for some necessities.
Ye Yan prepared the things he needed and followed Ye Dahai to the Ye family's old house. Although the two brothers of the Ye family had separated and lived independently, it was also because of the need to maintain their relationship after marriage. Therefore, even after Ye Dahai and his uncle lived away from each other, the relationship between the two families was still very harmonious.
Every month, Ye Dahai would bring Ye Yan's uncle, Ye Dayang, to the market. There was also another person with Ye Dayang this time, his wife Ms. Chen. The four of them greeted Old Master Ye before setting off.
"Xiao Yan, I heard yesterday that you've scared that bastard second san of the Liu family into an idiot. Is it true?" Ye Dayang pulled the tow truck with one hand while he said with his brows flying.
By now, the rumors of the incident were known in every household, so Ye Yan felt it was unnecessary to hide it from his family, "That's right, the rumors in the village are not entirely false."
"Oh my!" Hearing that, Ye Dayang immediately perked up and asked, "So it's true. Xiao Yan, how did you do it? "
To be honest, Ye Yan hated such small talk. It was like going back home during the new year. If one said one was an IT major, the elders at home would produce an old computer and ask one to repair it.
How troublesome! Previously, Ye Yan didn't tell the incident to Grandpa Ye for two reasons. First, he didn't want to scare the old man, and second, he didn't want to have to experience this trouble.
For a moment, he didn't know what to do. He turned to Ye Dahai and tried to ask the latter to smooth things over, but Ye Dahai didn't seem to notice him. Ye Yan even found a smug smile on his father's face. Great, as expected of his biological father. He was prepared to watch a show.
Seeing that no one was helping him, Ye Yan scratched his head. He didn't know how to explain, so he said frankly, "Well, uncle, I'll show you!"
With that, he reached out his hand and pointed in the air. Ye Dayang, who didn't know what was going on, wanted to say something but suddenly realized that he couldn't speak at all. Then, he lost control of his body as he stayed frozen in the same position of pulling the cart!
"What's wrong with you, Dayang?!" Ms. Chen, who was walking beside Ye Dayang, suddenly felt her husband stop. When she turned around, she was shocked to find that he was standing on the spot in a strange posture, and she immediately panicked.
"Dayang, Dayang, say something! What's wrong?" When she saw that her husband was not moving, she quickly patted Ye Dayang's face, her palms sweating in anxiety.
Ye Dahai immediately knew what was going on with a glance. He glared at Ye Yan, then said to Ms. Chen, "Sister-in-law, don't panic. Big brother is fine. This kid is just up to no good. Brat, hurry up and remove your spell!"
Ye Yan looked at his father resentfully and immediately lifted the Suppression Spell. With that, Ye Dayang broke free from his frozen state and staggered on one leg before falling to the ground.
Seeing this, Ye Yan hurriedly helped him up and explained, "Big Uncle, this is what happened. A while ago, I happened to come across an opportunity and met a Supreme, thus obtaining the method of celestial cultivation. Now, I've established a sect."
After that, he told Ye Dayang about his cultivation and Liu Yi's matter, causing Ye Dayang to widen his eyes in shock. In the end, the man cried out, "Ah, this... Then, Xiao Yan, are you a celestial now?"
"No, no, no!" Ye Yan shook his head repeatedly, "I've just taken my first step. I'm still far from becoming a celestial!
Ye Dayang was quite naive and believed Ye Yan's words, but Ms. Chen looked at Ye Dahai with some suspicion, "Brother-in-law, is what my nephew said true?"
"It is," Ye Dahai didn't know what to say when he saw his brother and son making a fuss. He only nodded to show that his son was telling the truth.
"By the way, uncle, there's something I need to tell you," After having fun with his uncle, Ye Yan suddenly became serious.
