C13 Search the Entire Residence
Dia clearly did not expect Ye Faang to ask this question and was stunned for a moment. She said seriously, "Anyone can cultivate, but each person has different aptitudes. The difficulties encountered on the road of cultivation are also different. Cultivation also focuses on opportunities. Sometimes, by coincidence, you can gain some insight into the laws of heaven and earth, and thus break through your original realm. Ye Faang. You just consumed two Green Jade Pills, and they were the spiritual herbs that were given to the disciples of the Supreme Palace. It has the effect of shortening the time needed to improve one's cultivation base, even though some of the effects have been removed in order to treat injuries. There is still a portion of the medicinal essence left in your body. It will be very beneficial to your future cultivation. "
"Does this mean that I can cultivate as well?" Ye Faang said happily. In fact, he had other thoughts in his mind. Dia was a self-cultivator, and she would definitely have endless years in the future. If he was an ordinary person, he would not even have the chance to be with her.
With her beautiful eyes, how could Dia guess the young man's thoughts at this moment? After a slight smile, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled. Cultivation was easy. It was hard to find a good master. Nowadays, the big cultivation sects were very strict about accepting disciples. Unless they had excellent talent or someone recommended them, they would not accept a disciple of unknown origin for no reason. As for those experts of the Leisure Cloud Crane Sect. . . It was even more impossible. No one would be able to touch them. How could he beg him to accept you as his disciple?
After thinking it over and over again, Dia lightly opened her red lips. "Ye Faang, I believe you can. "
This sentence gave Ye Faang a lot of confidence.
"But, unless you can meet a very brilliant master, you would rather cultivate later than later, because. . . A good cultivation technique. To a cultivator, it's no different from a peerless inner force skill possessed by a martial arts master. The level of a true cultivation technique determines the difference in power between cultivators of the same stage to a certain extent. "
Ye Faang said firmly, "Don't worry, I won't cultivate it. Once I cultivate it, I will cultivate the most powerful cultivation technique in the world. " When he said this, his entire body seemed to be filled with energy.
Dia could feel his determination and sighed slightly. "Do you think the most powerful technique in the world is easy to learn? Where do you want to learn it? Who do you want to learn it from? You must know that those who have this technique are all selfish and will never teach it to others. "
Ye Faang was not someone who would give up easily. After hearing this, he became even more determined. Either he did not do it, or he did it to the best of his abilities. Actually, Dia already had a plan in her heart, but now it was not convenient to tell Ye Faang.
The two of them hugged each other and whispered softly.
Outside the window, insects were chirping and birds were chirping, and the sun was already shining in the east.
It was almost dawn. . .
Baili Family, council.
The patriarch, Baili Changxi, sat on the armchair with an ashen face. Next to him sat the wife, the flower fairy, and the eldest son, Baili Sheng. The two rows of hands were divided into four hall masters, one in the east, one in the west, and the other in the north.
The twenty young disciples outside the hall had Long Swords hanging on their waists, and they were distributed in all directions as guards.
Baili Changxi's face was white and beardless, and he had a tall figure. He slowly stood up from his chair, and with a sweep of his gaze, the imposing manner of the overlord of the martial arts world was completely revealed.
The hall masters of the Eastern, Western and Southern Halls did not know what had happened. Usually, everyone was busy and it was very difficult to gather all of them at the same time. Just as they were secretly guessing, Baili Changxi had already said, "Everyone, I invited all of you to the meeting today because I have something to tell you. "
"The patriarch has summoned all four of his subordinates at the same time. Could it be that something big has happened?" The one who spoke was Xin Feng, the hall master of the East Hall. Although she was over forty years old, she was still as beautiful as a young girl. Compared to the flower fairy of Baili Changxi's wife, she was like two flowers that were placed side by side. She had become the dream goddess of all the young disciples of the Baili Family.
Baili Changxi stared at the four of them and said with a cold smile. "That's right. It has happened. Something big happened last night. Someone actually barged into the prefecture and eavesdropped on my conversation with the Wind Hall Lord. . . "
"What?"
"What kind of person is so bold? "
Xin Feng, Gui Yi, and the tattoo of the master of the East Hall, and the Master of the West Hall all cried out in shock and anger. The flower fairy and Baili Sheng, who were standing next to them, had already known about this, so they remained calm.
The Northern Hall Master, Feng Yuan, stood up and told them everything that had happened last night.
After he finished speaking, Baili Changxi said, "Those two men were struck by the joint attack of me and the wind Hall Lord, and they fled in panic. Even if they didn't die, they would still be severely injured, and they wouldn't be able to escape very far. I suspect that they are still hiding in the Prefecture. "
Gui Yi was a man with a fiery temper. When she heard this, she stood up and said, "Patriarch, what are you waiting for? Your subordinate will immediately send someone to dig them out!"
Ci Qing's expression was as cold as a block of ice. The words that came out of his mouth were also like a chilly wind: "These two have infiltrated our Baili Family and eavesdropped on our Patriarch's conversation with the Wind Hall Lord. They must have been sent by some sect that is hostile to our sect. If they want to ruin the matter of our disciples joining our sect, they might possess some kind of special ability. Your subordinate recommends that the four hall masters mobilize their strongest men to search for them and capture them. "
Baili Changxi pondered for a moment and said, "Judging from the situation last night, those two men don't seem to have any special abilities. Otherwise, they wouldn't have run away as soon as they were discovered. They might be people from other sects in the martial arts world. However. . . To be cautious, he would do as the Green Hall Lord said. The four of you will lead the elite disciples to search the entire residence. Do not let go of any room or any corner. If you find any suspicious people, take them down immediately. "
He paused for a moment and continued, "I would like to see who is the one who treats the Baili Family as a place of no man. "
The four hall masters bowed and left. A large-scale search was carried out in the prefecture.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
One door after another was kicked open. The servants looked at the fierce and fierce disciples of the aristocratic families in panic, not knowing what had happened.
"Tell me, did you see anyone last night?" The disciples held Long Swords flashing with cold light in their hands as they interrogated, but they could not find anything.
Xiao Yingloong brought Dai Yi and a group of disciples and gradually searched the woodshed. With a glance, Dai Yi understood what he meant. He suddenly pushed open the door, scaring Ye Faang who was chopping firewood.
Dai Yi walked in with a sinister smile and shouted. "What a great broom! How dare you hide an outsider! Quickly hand them over and I'll spare your life!" As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yingloong and the others entered one after another. The small woodshed seemed to be extremely crowded.
Ye Faang was initially shocked when he saw them, thinking that they had exposed their tracks. However, after hearing what Dai Yi said, he knew these people wanted to use official means to get revenge on him. They wanted to cause trouble for him. All traces of last night had been destroyed by him and Dia. The room had already returned to its original state, so they would not be able to find any evidence. At that moment, his heart calmed down. He calmly said, "I don't know what you're talking about. "
Xiao Yingloong took a step forward and said coldly: "A servant reported that someone came in and out of your room late last night. You are still not telling the truth. Do you want me to do it?"
"Clang! Clang!" "Clang!"
The disciples at the side drew their Long Swords out of their sheaths and pointed straight at Ye Faang.
Ye Faang said without any fear. "If you want to add a crime, you will have no choice but to say it! Senior brother Xiao, senior brother Dai, I, Ye Faang have always been obedient to myself since I came to the Baili Family. I have never offended you in any way. Why do you want to make things difficult for me?"
Xiao Yingloong and Dai Yi looked at each other and burst into laughter.
Dai Yi's smile faded and he said: "Big broom, I didn't expect you to be so assertive. In the end, our brothers just don't like you and want to use you to vent their anger, so what are you going to do? Furthermore, last time you were the big broom, you even caused me to make a fool of myself. Today, to be frank, I am here to find a grudge with you, so what can you do about it?"
Xiao Yingloong said sarcastically. "Eldest Young Master also taught you a lesson that time. I say, why is a big broom like you so blind? You have offended all the powerful figures in our family. However, I admire you very much. How can you not die after being sent flying by Eldest Young Master with a single palm strike? You're quite capable of enduring it! I wonder if you'll be able to endure it today. "
He shouted toward the surroundings," Put away all your swords. Don't tell me you need to use weapons to deal with a servant? Hit him with your fists. I don't care if he's dead or alive, but maybe the young master will reward us, haha! "
The disciples let out a wild laugh like a wolf's howl, and the Long Swords were put back into their sheaths.
Ye Faang tightly gripped the firewood knife in his hands. His eyes stared at everyone around him as he prepared to defend himself. As long as the opponent came up, he would not hesitate to swing the knife to meet them. When dealing with these inhumane people, he would definitely not sit and wait for death. He would only use his death to get rid of the enemy.
"Attack!"
Following Xiao Yingloong's command, the four disciples led by Dai Yi were like four hungry wolves as they pounced towards Ye Faang. Ye Faang raised his chopping knife, ready to slash down at all costs.
"Stop! What are you doing?"
A crisp voice was heard, causing the four disciples who had already rushed out to stop. Baili Jiao, who was wearing a green dress, leisurely walked over. Her face, which was covered with a thin layer of powder, revealed a trace of anger. "Xiao Yingloong, could it be that. . . Don't you know that this place is very close to the back hall? Aren't you afraid of disturbing my mother by making such a loud noise?"
Xiao Yingloong didn't dare to offend the Second Young Lady. He knew that the Second Young Lady's means were even more ruthless than the Eldest Young Master's. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead when he heard this. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Reporting to the second young lady. Under the orders of the Wind Hall Lord, the subordinates searched for the two thieves who sneaked into the mansion last night. Seeing that this servant was suspicious, I came to investigate. I didn't expect that this person would be so unreasonable as to attack us. Causing such a disturbance alarmed Madam and Miss. This subordinate deserves to die ten thousand times over!"
Baili Jiao frowned and said," So you are searching for the thief. I have also heard about what happened last night, but I don't know who is so bold as to come and cause trouble in my Baili Family. " He swept his eyes across the disciples. His tone turned cold, "No matter what, I don't want you to cause such a big commotion. Otherwise, what's the difference between my Baili Family and the market outside? "
Xiao Yingloong, Dai Yi and the others quickly responded.
Baili Jiao turned her eyes to Ye Faang and suddenly exclaimed, "It's you?"
Ever since Ye Faang was brought into the Baili Family by Baili Jiao, Ye Fang had never seen her again. It was unknown whether it was a blessing or a curse for him to suddenly meet her. He smiled bitterly and said, "That's right, it's me. "
Baili Jiao had long forgotten about this person. At this moment, she saw him dressed like a servant in a green robe and a small hat. A woodcutter was tightly grasped in his hand and the scene from when she first saw him immediately resurfaced in her mind. She couldn't help but feel a wave of disgust and secretly scolded him as a servant. He turned his head to the side. He didn't even look at him. It was as if looking at him would touch something. However, he still had to say something. "Did you see anyone coming in and out last night?"
"No. " Ye Faang answered firmly.
"No? Could it be that Xiao Yingloong and the others will accuse you unjustly?" Baili Jiao had just brought him into the manor a few months ago, but she had an inexplicable suspicion towards him.
Ye Faang sneered," The few of them are using official means to take revenge on private matters. They are just fabricating facts and framing him. Me, you and them are the same kind of small marten, how can you still believe my words? "
"Pa!"
A crisp sound rang out, and Ye Faang, who was caught off guard, received a heavy slap on his face. Five clear fingerprints appeared on his face.
Baili Jiao's face turned red. Clearly, she had been angered by Ye Faang's words. Who in the Baili Family would dare to be so rude to her, let alone a little servant? This time, his movement technique was extremely fast. Even Xiao Yingloong, who was standing beside him, couldn't see it clearly.
"Ye Faang, you have to remember that you are just a servant in the Baili Family. You are a lowly existence. The status of any disciple in the Prefecture is higher than yours. I will never tolerate the mistakes of my servants. Let me tell you, if you dare to speak rudely in front of me, you will die a miserable death "
Ye Faang's entire body was like a taut string, and his eyes were red as if he was about to spurt out flames of anger.
Humiliation, an unprecedented humiliation!
Even though he had been injured by Xiao Yingloong, Dai Yi, Baili Sheng, and the others several times, Ye Faang's heart was filled with hatred and humiliation. But this time, it was different. The feeling this woman gave him, other than the humiliation he had never felt before, was nothing else.
Sensing the change in his mentality, the black vortex in his dantian started spinning faster. Traces of black airflow separated from the vortex. All the meridians in his body were filled with power like water canals. The black blade that stuck close to his body made a buzzing sound. Ye Faang could not help but want to roar towards the sky.
The murderous atmosphere was spreading.
A figure with a yellow moth rushed out from the back of the hall and shouted from afar, "Miss, Madam has something to talk to you about. "
The tense atmosphere in the air was suddenly swept away because of this change. Baili Jiao looked at the person who came and said in a stern voice, Miss, Madam is looking for you. "There are no rules. Why are you shouting so loudly?!"
The person who came was dressed in a yellow moth robe and was dressed like a maid. It was Dia and when she heard this, she said in horror. "Reporting to Miss, Madam told me to look for you and discuss something urgent. I was in a hurry. . . "
Baili Jiao waved her hand and said, "Alright. I understand. Let's go. " She did not blame her. Just as she walked to the door, she turned around and said to Xiao Yingloong and the rest, "You guys should leave too!"
Xiao Yingloong and the others agreed. They glared at the motionless Ye Faang and followed Baili Jiao out. Dia took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and secretly glanced behind her. She gave him a worried and concerned look.
Ye Faang shook his head slightly, hinting that he was fine.
Dia's timely appearance resolved a bloody battle that was about to erupt. Although Xiao Yingloong and the others were unwilling to let Ye Faang go just like that, they did not dare to disobey Baili Jiao's words to let them go.
At this moment, the black airflow in their meridians was slowly flowing back into the vortex. The feeling of being filled with endless energy just now was also slowly fading away.
"Looks like it's almost time to leave the Baili Family. "
After repeated difficulties, Ye Faang finally decided to leave.
