Chapter 74: Second Uncle Who Likes to Refine Equipment

[Your second uncle knows most of the Ye family, but you are a stranger. Please find a way to contact your second uncle, Ye Qingming.]

[Quest Reward: Top-level Weapon Refining Technique]

Ye Xiuxiu stared at the task description in front of her with wide eyes.
I was a little overwhelmed for a while,
A shocking fact kept circling in my mind.

The Ye family's ancestral land suffered such a fierce attack,

It turned out to be related to my second uncle Ye Qingming!
Even more unbelievable is that,
This second uncle actually betrayed the Ye family who gave birth to him and raised him!

Ye Xiuxiu was full of doubts.
Glancing back and forth at the bustling banquet.

She tried to find the legendary second uncle Ye Qingming from the crowd, but no matter how hard she searched,
But I still couldn't see his figure.

This made Ye Xiuxiu feel very surprised.

He searched in his mind.
It seems that I have no memory of this second uncle.

She had clearly been in the Ye family's ancestral land for such a long time,
But I have never even seen my second uncle.

So, Ye Xiuxiu turned around,

He whispered to his mother Bai Qingxia beside him:
"Mom, I heard someone say that I actually have a second uncle."

"But it's been quite some time since I returned to the Ye family's ancestral land, but I never seem to have had the chance to meet this second uncle."

Bai Qingxia couldn't help showing a hint of surprise when she heard this.
After a pause, he asked:
"Xiu Xiu, why did you suddenly think of asking about this?"

Ye Xiuxiu's heart tightened, and she silently said in her heart:

"Of course, it's to successfully complete that damn mission."

But you can't say this directly.

She rolled her eyes and replied with a smile:

"Mother, I am just showing respect to my elders."

"After all, I've been back for a long time. Wouldn't it be rude if I didn't even send you a greeting?"

After hearing this, Bai Qingxia's face blossomed with a relieved smile.

Gently stroking Ye Xiuxiu's hair, he said:
"My Xiuxiu is so sensible and considerate."

"It's a pity that mother doesn't know much about your second uncle."

"Mother only knows that your second uncle has been in seclusion for these years."

"But in reality, he just locked himself in the house and rarely came out."

Bai Qingxia said,

While gently rubbing Ye Xiuxiu's little head.

"You should ask your grandpa and your grandma,"

“They’ll know a little more.”

Ye Xiuxiu blinked her big eyes and nodded obediently:

"Yes, I understand, mother."

After this lively banquet is over,
Ye Xiuxiu couldn't wait to run to find Ye Songzhi.
He told him again in detail why he wanted to see his second uncle.

After hearing this, Ye Songzhi was stunned for a moment.
After recovering from his shock, he slowly spoke:
"Speaking of your second uncle..."

He sighed softly and continued:

"Your second uncle is very different from your father! Your father has been devotedly practicing the martial arts passed down from our Ye family's ancestors, and his cultivation level has been rising steadily."

"However, after he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he suddenly stagnated for some reason."

"This isn't because he lacks talent. On the contrary, his talent is quite high!"

"No worse than your father,"

"It's just that he's obsessed with weapon refining to the extreme. He's been immersed in studying it day and night, to the point that he's even neglected his cultivation."

"No matter what I say, you won't listen,"

"Later, I just didn't bother to care about him anymore." "For all these years, he's always been tinkering with those weapon-refining things in the small yard at the back."

Having said that, Ye Songzhi paused, a look of helplessness appeared on his face, and he continued to exhort:

"But, Grandpa, I don't recommend you go look for him right now."

"Your second uncle has a very strange temper. He doesn't even look at me in a good mood, let alone other people."

"So, Xiuxiu, my dear granddaughter, you should wait and see until the right time comes."

Ye Xiuxiu nodded slightly to show her agreement.

However, she secretly muttered in her heart:
"Second Uncle has always been obsessed with the art of refining weapons. Could this be secretly connected to the future attack on the Ye family's ancestral land?"

With this doubt, in the following few days,

As long as you have some free time,

Ye Xiuxiu couldn't wait to run to the area around the yard that her grandfather Ye Songzhi mentioned.

Whenever she approached the yard, she could always hear the crisp and rhythmic tinkling sounds coming from inside.

However, due to the towering walls surrounding the courtyard,
It was five or six meters high, so even if Ye Xiuxiu stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck,
It is also difficult to see what secrets are hidden in the hospital.

"Do we have to wait patiently for Second Uncle to show up?"

Ye Xiuxiu couldn't help but secretly groan in her heart,
"But who knows when he will come out!"

After a fierce ideological struggle,
Ye Xiuxiu suddenly clenched her teeth.

He resolutely walked straight towards the gate of the mysterious courtyard,

Without hesitation, he stretched out his hand and knocked hard.

There were sudden knocks on the heavy wooden door.

However, no matter how hard Ye Xiuxiu knocked, there was no movement from inside the door.

However, she did not get discouraged and back off.
Instead, it seemed as if it was competing with the door.

Keep hammering away, persistently.

Just like that, before I knew it,
Ye Xiuxiu actually kept knocking for three or four hours in a row.

Finally, hard work pays off.
With another heavy knock,

at last,

Ye Xiuxiu actually smashed a huge hole in the sturdy wooden door.

Through this suddenly appeared big hole,
Ye Xiuxiu blinked her bright eyes.

Looking curiously at the figure in the yard.

She saw that he was a middle-aged man who was completely different from her father Ye Qingping.

His face was covered with stubble, growing in disorder.

As if it had never been trimmed;
The upper body is naked, and the exposed skin is bronze.

It is covered with crisscrossing scars and strong muscle lines.

He was wearing a pair of tattered, patched trousers.

He was wearing a pair of badly worn straw sandals.

At this moment, Ye Qingming suddenly turned around.

In an instant, his eyes met Ye Xiuxiu's.

Ye Xiuxiu felt a strong sense of oppression like a mountain pressing down on an egg.
It made her tremble slightly involuntarily.

However, despite her fear, Ye Xiuxiu pretended to be calm.

She called out in a delicate voice, "Second Uncle!"
