I was just collecting them casually, how did the disciples become emperors?

He flashed and came to his mother's side in an instant, pushing his second uncle away with force.

My second uncle was pushed unexpectedly and staggered back a few steps, almost falling down.

After he steadied himself, he saw that it was Zhao Changsheng. He was stunned for a moment, then became furious. "Zhao Changsheng, you little bastard, how dare you push me! Do you still respect me as your elder?"

Zhao Changsheng glared at his second uncle and said through gritted teeth, "How can you be considered an elder if you treat my mother like this? How can you say such vicious words?"

Second Uncle snorted coldly.

"Your mother is an ominous person. Ever since your father passed away, the Zhao family has never had peace. I'm doing this for the good of the Zhao family. Letting her go is already a relief for her."

At this time, some servants of the Zhao family had gathered around.

Ximen Feixue was so angry that her face turned red and her fists were clenched tightly. If Ye Xinghe had not gently pulled her back, she would have rushed up to argue with Zhao Changsheng's second uncle.

He had never seen such an unreasonable person!

Ye Xinghe frowned slightly. "Regardless of whether Madam Zhao is unlucky or not, she is Zhao Changsheng's mother after all. She has been in the Zhao family for many years and has made great contributions. Aren't you afraid of being despised by others for treating her like this?"

Hear sounds.

Zhao Changsheng's second uncle looked Ye Xinghe up and down. Seeing that he had an extraordinary temperament, he felt a little apprehensive but still took him seriously.

"Who are you? This is my Zhao family's family affair. It's not your turn as an outsider to interfere."

Zhao Changsheng quickly said, "Second Uncle, this is my master, Ye Xinghe. He is highly respected and you must not be rude to him."

"Even if you are my Master, you cannot interfere in the affairs of my Zhao family. This widow must leave, otherwise I will never let you go."

Second Uncle was not afraid at all.

Ye Xinghe sneered, "Second Uncle Zhao, if you insist on doing this, then I will intervene today. I want to see why you are so arrogant and unreasonable."

After saying this, a faint spiritual pressure emanated from his body, covering Zhao Changsheng's second uncle.

Zhao Changsheng's second uncle suddenly felt a heavy pressure coming at him, and breathing became a little difficult.

Although Second Uncle was intimidated by Ye Xinghe's aura, he still forced himself to save face and glared at Zhao Changsheng fiercely, thinking in his heart that this kid would be a tough guy to deal with now that he has a strong backer.

He gritted his teeth and uttered harsh words.

"Hmph, I'll let you go today. However, I'll give you three days. After three days, this widow must move out of the Zhao family. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

After saying this, he turned around and left angrily with a group of followers.

Zhao Changsheng looked at his second uncle's receding back, and the joints of his hands turned white.

I didn’t expect that my mother was bullied like this during the time I was away!

He turned to look at his mother, only to see that her face was already in tears, and her frail body was shaking even more violently in the cold wind.

Zhao Changsheng hurried forward, took off his coat, gently draped it over his mother, and hugged her tightly in his arms. His voice was choked with sobs, "Mother, don't be afraid. I'm here. I won't let anyone bully you again."

Zhao Changsheng's mother leaned on her son's arms and burst into tears. She raised her hand and gently stroked her son's face, her eyes full of relief: "Changsheng, you have grown up, but your second uncle has considerable influence in the family. Will it bring you trouble if you go against him like this?"

Zhao Changsheng shook his head firmly.

"Mother, I'm not afraid. I can't just sit back and watch him treat you like this. What's more, I have Master's help now, and I will definitely be able to protect you."

However, before she could finish her words, Zhao Changsheng's mother suddenly turned pale and then spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Zhao Changsheng's eyes widened instantly and he cried out in horror: "Mother! Mother! What's wrong with you?" He supported his mother's shaky body with trembling hands.

Seeing this, Ye Xinghe took a step forward and quickly put his finger on Zhao's mother's pulse.

After a moment, he frowned and said solemnly, "Your mother has been ill for a long time, and her condition is extremely serious. Her internal organs are severely damaged, and her breathing is disordered. If she is not treated in time, I'm afraid she won't survive for more than a few days."

Zhao Changsheng was extremely anxious when he heard this. He knelt down in front of Ye Xinghe with a plop and begged with tears streaming down his face, "Master, please save my mother. I can't lose her!"

Ye Xinghe quickly helped Zhao Changsheng up and said, "Changsheng, don't panic. Although I can temporarily stabilize your mother's condition, the only way to completely cure her is to find the ancient fallen leaf."

"This leaf grows deep in the southwest mountains."

Zhao Changsheng was shocked. He knew very well the dangers of the Southwest Mountain, and was even more aware of the grudge between his family and that force.

In the beginning, it was because this mortal enemy joined forces with the Huangfu family that the Zhao family was defeated and wiped out in the battle with the Huangfu family.

Now, going to their territory to look for ancient fallen leaves is undoubtedly like walking into a tiger's mouth.

But Zhao Changsheng had no intention of backing down. He gritted his teeth and said, "Master, I'm going to give it a try. As long as it means saving my mother, I'm willing to go through fire and water."

Ye Xinghe was pleased with his disciple's filial piety.

He said: "Okay, since you are determined, let's prepare to set off immediately."

Ximen Feixue also said, "Master, I will go with you. One more person means more strength."

Ye Xinghe nodded in agreement and then began to arrange some matters.

But in the end, Ye Xinghe still felt that Zhao Changsheng should stay and take good care of his mother. After all, the old lady was not in good health now.

If my second uncle comes back, his mother won’t be able to handle it alone.

Ye Xinghe and Ximen Feixue rushed towards the southwest mountain without stopping.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw a teahouse, so the master and his apprentice sat down to rest their feet and drink some tea to moisten their throats. Although the teahouse wasn't crowded with people, there were still a few passersby stopping by.

As we were drinking, two people dressed as traveling merchants at the next table started talking in low voices.

"I heard that the Southwest Mountains have been quite unstable recently, and several forces are trying to get into the mountains."

"Oh? What's the matter? Although there are many rare herbs in the Southwest Mountains, they shouldn't attract so many people, right?"

"You don't know, but I heard there's an extremely rare herb called Ancient Fallen Leaves. It's said to have the power to bring the dead back to life. Whoever gets it will make a fortune."

"Not only can it be exchanged for countless rare magical treasures in the world of immortal cultivation, but even if it is sold to those high-ranking officials, it can also be exchanged for endless wealth and glory."

Ximen Feixue looked at Ye Xinghe curiously when he heard this: "Master, is this ancient fallen leaf really that magical?"

Ye Xinghe put down his teacup and spoke in a clear voice, slowly saying, "Ancient Fallen Leaves are indeed a very rare spiritual herb."
