Evil Master and Disciple

After Yue Yinling fled Ye Feng's room as if escaping, the somewhat frivolous expression on Ye Feng's face quickly disappeared.

He was pondering Yue Yinling's words at that moment.

Why would Yue Yinling's boss ask her to go find Ye Wei?

Why would Ye Wei definitely help rescue Master Pang if he took action himself?

He and Ye Wei didn't know each other before; they had only met a few times in Beijing.

Ye Wei was Shen Feiyang's subordinate.

Ye Feng did not believe that as long as he went to find Ye Wei, the other party would take a huge risk to help him.

People in this world are very trustworthy; under normal circumstances, subordinates will not betray their masters.

If he goes to Ye Wei himself, he'll probably not only fail to rescue his fat master, but he'll also be subdued by Ye Wei on the spot and then handed over to Shen Feiyang.

This is something even a fool could figure out.

Why couldn't Yue Yinling's boss understand this?

For a moment, many thoughts kept appearing in Ye Feng's mind, and then he rejected them.

Ye Feng's first thought was that Yue Yinling's boss wanted to harm him, but he immediately dismissed the idea.

If the leader of that Shadow Clan really wanted to harm me, there were far too many ways; there was no need to choose such a low-level method.

Ye Feng then realized that Ye Wei might be a double agent, a pawn planted by the Yunhai Sect next to Shen Feiyang.

He rejected that idea as well.

While at the Xiaoyao Sword Sect on Qinglong Mountain, he and Hong Jiu overheard a conversation between Liu Shiheng and several other sect leaders.

At that time, Ye Feng knew that the massacre of the Guo family in Qizhou thirteen years ago, which shocked the world, was the work of these few sects from Qinglong Mountain, and that the person who instigated them was a very powerful figure from the Yunhai Sect.

Ye Wei was Guo Wei, the head of the Guo family back then.

He could never be a spy planted by the Yunhai Sect next to Shen Feiyang.

Then Ye Feng wondered if it was possible that he had something on Ye Wei. He thought that he could use this information to blackmail Ye Wei and get him to help him.

Ye Feng did not easily dismiss this idea.

He didn't have any leverage over Ye Wei, but who knows if the original owner did?

So Ye Feng carefully recalled his several encounters with Ye Wei in the capital, especially the detailed scene of their first meeting when he bought the Imperial Seal of the State at the jade shop.

I hadn't thought about it before, but now that I think back, Ye Wei's behavior was indeed somewhat unusual. The same thing happened at the auction house later, where the old guy actually spent over a million taels of silver to buy the Three Talents Harmony Jade and give it to me.

“If Ye Wei wasn’t sent to monitor me in Beijing on Shen Feiyang’s orders, then many of the doubts can be explained.”

Ye Feng broke free from his preconceived notions and began to gradually dispel the layers of confusion that shrouded his vision.

He began to mentally deduce that Ye Wei's approach to him was unrelated to Shen Feiyang.

Ye Wei should know the original owner of this body, and the two may not be enemies.

When they first met, the old man stared at him and said some strange things, probably trying to determine whether he had lost his memory.

After confirming that he had lost all his memories from six months ago, Ye Wei sought an opportunity to get to know him...

The more Ye Feng thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

He was secretly shocked.

Before the incident, the original owner was just a nobody under sixteen years old who hadn't even reached the Sky Soaring Realm.

It was purely by chance that I got involved in the controversy of stealing the earth's spiritual energy.

Since being brought into the Yunhai Sect by his fat master, the original owner never left the Tianyun Mountain Range for the next thirteen years.

How could he possibly know Guo Wei, the former head of the Guo family?

If the original owner knew the person before joining the Yunhai Sect, then that's even more impossible.

The original owner was brought into the Yunhai Sect at the age of three, so how could she possibly know Ye Wei?

At the same time, a new question arose in my mind.

Why would the Shadow Master know that the original owner and Ye Wei had a past connection?

Could it be that the original owner was also a Xuan Ying practitioner?

is it possible?

The selection process for Xuan Yingzhe is very strict; the original owner, an orphan, couldn't even pass the background check.

Moreover, the original owner had not yet reached the realm of flying at that time.

The mission of the Shadow Warriors is to protect the foundation of the Cloud Sea Sect, not to be a dumping ground for trash.

With the original owner's meager cultivation level, it was impossible for him to even catch the eye of a Xuan Ying Zhe.

A jumble of thoughts rushed through Ye Feng's mind, and he felt like his head was about to explode.

So Ye Feng took out paper and pen and began to write and draw on them.

Soon, a simple brainstorming diagram appeared on the paper.

The content above is very simple; it just lists some names and some dates.

At this moment, Ye Fuyou said, "Boy, you might have a great relationship with that Ye Wei."

Previously, Ye Fuyou was very angry and saddened to learn that Xuan Yingzhe was very likely involved in the power struggle between him and Yun Yi Shangren.

Now that he was in a much better mood, he immediately noticed some clues in Ye Feng's brainstorming diagram.

Ye Feng said, "Senior Uncle, what are you saying? I don't quite understand! Could you explain it to me in detail?"

"Didn't you write it all down? Didn't you notice?"

"Huh?" Ye Feng was slightly taken aback, then picked up the brainstorming diagram he had just written and examined it carefully.

Aside from the texts about Ye Feng, Ye Wei, Fat Master, Shen Feiyang, and thirteen years ago, there doesn't seem to be anything different.

“It’s time,” Ye Fuyou said slowly.

"Time? Thirteen years ago?"

Ye Fuyou said, "Can't you see? The Guo family of Qizhou was wiped out thirteen years ago."

"Yes, everyone knows that, is there a problem?"

"You were brought into the Cloud Sea Sect by Lao Liu thirteen years ago. It's all thirteen years ago. Don't you think this timing is a coincidence?"

"what!?"

Ye Feng suddenly froze.

Ye Fuyou continued, "Guo Wei's current name is Ye Wei, and your name is Ye Feng."

He murmured, "Senior Uncle, do you think my background is related to the Guo family tragedy in Qizhou thirteen years ago?"

Ye Fuyou said, "I do have this suspicion."

"Just because the time I was brought into the Yunhai Sect by Master Pang coincided with the time the Guo family was massacred, and because Ye Wei and I share the same surname Ye, you think I am related to Ye Wei? Don't you think that's far-fetched?"

Ye Fuyou said, "It's not just that. Do you remember when we were at the auction in the capital last time, Ye Fuyou insisted on spending more than a million taels of silver to buy you the Three Talents Harmony Ancient Jade?"

This is no small sum; over a million taels of silver is not a small amount even for our Yunhai Sect, let alone for someone like him who lives in anonymity.

I think you might be a descendant of Ye Wei, either his son or his grandson. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so kind to you, and the Shadow Master wouldn't have asked you to go find Ye Wei to save Lao Liu.

Only if you are his descendant can all of this be fully explained.

Ye Feng stood up abruptly, his mouth slightly agape, completely dumbfounded.

He wanted to refute Ye Fuyou, but he had nothing to say.

His talent for sophistry was completely gone at this moment.

Because after thinking it over, he felt that what his senior uncle said made sense.

Yes.

Only when one is a descendant of Ye Wei will everything that seems illogical suddenly become perfectly logical.

(My cold is really bad, I have a terrible headache, a cough, and my whole body aches. I managed to write one chapter today. I've already taken one day off this month, and I only updated one chapter today. My 1500 attendance bonus is gone! Ugh!)
