C16 Only Strong People Could Do That

Ye Yishan and Ye Yiteng were elated.

Thankfully, his dantian was intact.

Ye Yishan remarked, "The fact that there were no Genuine Qi fluctuations when you struck made us hesitant to confirm. Are you familiar with the Secret Arts of Concealment?"

Ye Feilong gently shook his head and replied, "It might be due to the restoration of my dantian."

Ye Yishan and Ye Yiteng nodded in understanding. If it wasn't the Secret Arts of Concealment, then this was the only explanation.

Ye Yishan chuckled, "The Secret Arts of Concealment is an advanced technique, known by very few in the world. You've turned a misfortune into a blessing. It looks like you owe Li Qianyang a word of thanks."

Ye Feilong agreed, "I will. Once I'm back at the Holy Dragon Sect, I'll make sure to express my gratitude."

With a pat on Ye Feilong's shoulder, Ye Yishan and Ye Yiteng departed.

Ye Feilong and Lau Jiuyue turned and headed home.

Upon arriving home and entering the courtyard, Lau Jiuyue halted abruptly and declared, "Young Master, I also wish to train in martial arts."

Ye Feilong, taken aback, turned and asked, "You've always disliked martial arts training. What brought this on?"

Lau Jiuyue explained, "I suddenly realized how helpless I am. Like earlier, if I had been trained in martial arts, perhaps I wouldn't have had to stand by powerlessly while you were being mistreated."

"That's not important. Dad and I will always protect you," Ye Feilong reassured her with a smile. "However, your willingness to train is commendable. It will certainly benefit your health. Let's start with the cultivation techniques. Once you've developed your Genuine Qi, I'll move on to teaching you martial skills..."

"Really?" Lau Jiuyue beamed with excitement. "Young Master, please teach me."

After pondering for a moment, Ye Feilong said, "I've committed all the family's cultivation techniques to memory. Two are particularly well-suited for women... Let's go with the Scarlet Cloud Wind Spirit Scroll."

Lau Jiuyue didn't dwell on whether the "Scarlet Cloud Wind Spirit Scroll" was any good; she trusted that anything the young master taught her was bound to be excellent. She quickly returned to the kitchen to set down the basket of vegetables she had been carrying, then dashed back out to close the courtyard gate. "Young Master, I'm ready for you to teach me now."

"Now?" Ye Feilong asked.

"I was actually planning to write it down for you... Or would you prefer to memorize it?" he suggested.

Lau Jiuyue nodded confidently. "I have a very good memory. I should be able to memorize it quite quickly."

"Alright then."

Ye Feilong began to recite the scroll with remarkable fluency. It was no surprise, as he was reading from a scanned copy, ensuring a smooth delivery without a single error. The "Scarlet Cloud Wind Spirit Scroll" contained precisely 1,769 words.

To Ye Feilong's astonishment, Lau Jiuyue memorized the entire scroll after just one listen. He stared at her as if she were some kind of anomaly, wondering if she had a smartphone or some sort of recording device in her head.

Having finished reciting, Lau Jiuyue noticed Ye Feilong's odd look and self-consciously wiped her face, asking, "Young Master, is there something on my face?"

"No, no..." Ye Feilong snapped out of his daze. "Jiuyue, that was impressive. You truly have a photographic memory!"

"I've always had a knack for remembering things," Lau Jiuyue replied modestly.

"Well, since you've got such a sharp memory, let me teach you a set of Fist Arts suitable for women. Pay close attention and remember my instructions," Ye Feilong said as he demonstrated the stance, explaining each movement while he practiced slowly.

Lau Jiuyue mimicked his movements carefully, committing his explanations to memory.

After Ye Feilong finished demonstrating, he watched Lau Jiuyue perform the sequence flawlessly.

Finishing her practice, Lau Jiuyue inquired, "Young Master, did I do it correctly?"

"Not bad at all. Just keep practicing," Ye Feilong responded with a nod, his demeanor serene and dignified.

"Understood."

Lau Jiuyue beamed with happiness upon receiving the young master's approval.

Later, Ye Feilong retreated to his room, where, overwhelmed by emotion, he suddenly felt the urge to weep.

It was a crushing realization!

Without a cell phone, his own talents paled in comparison to Lau Jiuyue's. His father would be ecstatic if he knew of Lau Jiuyue's extraordinary gifts.

Yet, the thought of his father's severed arm cast a shadow over his spirits.

Thinking of his father's injury inevitably brought to mind the Lee family and Ye Yihao.

"Strength is the only way!"

Ye Feilong clenched his fist.

Whether it was for revenge or confronting Ye Yihao and his ilk, there was only one solution: to become stronger than them.

In reality, the answer to any problem boiled down to one concept: strength.

That included returning to Earth.

Ye Feilong took two sets of clothes from the wardrobe and bundled them up. He then went to his father's room to retrieve the sword that was hanging on the wall.

Sword in his left hand and the bundle slung over his right arm.

Lau Jiuyue was still in the courtyard, practicing her Fist Arts.

As Ye Feilong walked, he said, "I'm going to visit an elder and might not return for a few days. Please look after Dad while I'm gone."

Lau Jiuyue nodded, her curiosity piqued. Which elder was the young master going to visit?

She didn't grasp the full meaning of "looking after Dad" as Ye Feilong intended and assumed it meant managing the household chores as usual.

...

The Lee family, being the foremost family in Cloud Forest City, resided in a picturesque estate, which was also known as "Li Garden."

"Crash!"

Upon seeing the ashen-faced Lee Qianfan with a missing arm, Lee Zhaodong's grip crushed the teacup in his hand. The formidable aura of the Martial Soul Stage erupted as he commanded an all-out war against the Ye family.

The Great Elder of the Lee family, Lee Zihong, was startled and hastily intervened, mentioning the message delivered by the City Lord Mansion the previous night.

"Curse it!"

Lee Zhaodong slammed his palm down, shattering the table beside him, but he couldn't ignore the City Lord Mansion's message and struggled to regain his composure.

"Zhaodong, have someone tail Ye Feilong. If he steps out of the Ye family's grounds, seize the chance to eliminate him. Ideally, draw him out of the city to avoid any fuss from the City Lord Mansion."

"Relay my command: make ready for all-out war against the Ye family. I've had a change of heart. On the day of the Chamber of Commerce meeting, I will slay Ye Yinian within the City Lord Mansion, and then we will annihilate the Ye family. Their downfall shall be the cost for Ye Feilong severing my son's arm!"
