Leisurely mountain village

How did it suddenly jump to 9 points? My heart was pounding so hard I almost missed a beat!

The category ranking has dropped out of the top ten, but it's been up there for several days now. Thank you all for your support. That's all for now, here's an extra chapter.

Ye Huan nodded. "I felt the same way as Grandpa when I went there that time. They could have found our house right away, so why have they remained silent for so many years? Although I've met those guys, they're not bad people, just spoiled brats, but I still don't really want to deal with them."

“We don’t have anyone to ask for help. My senior brother only said he wanted you to get a position in the National Security Bureau after I saved him. In his mind, he felt that if he arranged a position for you, we would be even over the matter of me saving him. Haha, human nature. If it were for that, I wouldn’t have saved him.” Ye Wuji shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

"Then why did you still save him, Grandpa?" Ye Huan asked.

"He was your great-grandfather's disciple, my senior brother, and he was poisoned while fighting the Japanese. Anyone who fought the Japanese is a friend of the Ye family," Ye Wuju said earnestly.

"Oh, I see."

"Besides, we won't comment on his character, but at least what he did was beneficial to the country. So I judge by his actions, not his intentions. There are no saints when it comes to intentions." Ye Wuju explained the reasoning to his grandson.

Ye Huan nodded, understanding.

"We won't take the initiative, we won't refuse, and we won't fawn over them. If they're willing to interact, we'll reciprocate. Everything else is up to them," Ye Wuju said with a smile.

"Old Du had talked to me about his senior brother before. After he was separated from your great-grandfather on the battlefield, he encountered a local armed force. Later, he helped the Eighth Route Army fight and joined the regular army. Then, someone saw that he was good at fighting and asked him to be a bodyguard for important people. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, his leader was promoted and arranged for him to be in the national security department, where he has been ever since."

"His highest rank was only major general. Because his old leader passed away, he never became the head of the National Security Bureau. He was just the head of a branch. Now he is on secondment, but the real director of the overseas department is someone else. He can only be called an advisor or the former director."

"He's been promoted one level and is now eligible for retirement benefits," Ye Wuju told his grandson about his senior brother.

"It has nothing to do with us, haha, Grandpa. Even when we were so poor before, I never thought we'd have any wealthy relatives, haha, let alone now?" Ye Huan said to his grandfather with a smile.

Ye Wuju fanned his grandson and nodded: "If you want to live a peaceful life, be careful not to expose yourself. How's your collarbone disguise technique that I taught you? If you're going to carry out a mission alone in the future, just change your appearance."

Ye Huan didn't answer. Instead, he used his fully mastered Bone-Changing Technique. He shrank by five or six centimeters, and his face and body completely transformed into that of a different person.

Ye Wuju laughed heartily, "Not bad, you're almost at my level. Keep practicing. The reason I told Lao Du to only do covert missions is because our family has this."

Ye Huan changed back to normal, nodded, and then rubbed her face. She was still a little uncomfortable; she hadn't quite mastered the technique yet.

"To be honest, my great-grandfather was a true martial arts prodigy," Ye Huan exclaimed.

"You're wrong. The real genius was your great-grandfather, my grandfather, my great-great-grandfather. He was a martial arts graduate, and my grandfather was the second-place winner in the martial arts examination. The champion in his year was predetermined, so my grandfather, your great-grandfather, was the number one martial arts master in the late Qing Dynasty," Ye Wuju said with a smile, explaining to his grandson.

"My grandfather later rebelled against the corrupt Qing government and followed Mr. Sun. He killed far too many people. He combined all of my great-grandfather's martial arts and then traveled all over the country, challenging all the famous figures and sects at the time. He combined the Shaolin Yi Jin Jing and created this Yi Gu Gong. Back then, my grandfather was able to practice the bone shrinking skill to the point that his body was only about ten centimeters thick."

"It's a pity that my grandfather, your great-grandfather, also died under the cannons of the foreigners. Your great-grandfather later came out of seclusion, perhaps with the idea of ​​avenging your great-grandfather."

Ye Huan was stunned. Just who am I? Do I have such a strong foundation? A martial arts scholar? A martial arts runner-up? He sat up in shock from his dying dream. The big shot was actually himself.

"Anyway, according to the family history I know, my grandfather, your great-grandfather, was the most powerful martial arts master and genius in our Ye family. Many of our family's top-secret martial arts techniques were created by him. Later, your great-grandfather improved upon them."

Ye Wuju poured himself a cup of tea and drank it down in two gulps.

"Back to your master, your great-grandfather only taught him some basic skills, the kind that other branches of the Ye family could learn. The only one he taught him was a basic version of acupoint striking, which was probably taught temporarily on the battlefield. I went to see him this time, and my senior brother only learned a little bit of it. But it was this little bit that saved his life, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to wait for us to arrive."

"I talked to Lao Du. Ancient martial arts are declining drastically. Even Shaolin and Wudang, as well as those sects with thousands of years of history, rarely have grandmasters now. Shaolin and Wudang may have some, but the others... it's doubtful."

Ye Huan nodded, "Never mind, I never intended to rely on their family anyway. Whether it's good or bad, it has nothing to do with us. Besides, since we went there last time, who knows when we'll see each other again?"

"Yes, haha, it's better not to talk about it. It's fine as it is now." Ye Wuju smiled slightly.

"You two, grandfather and grandson, are you about to eat? You've only been gone a few days, but you still have so much to talk about." Ye Huan's mother didn't know how she was feeling, but seeing her son made her feel a little less sad.

"You're here," Ye Huan said with a smile. She went to the main room with her grandfather. Ye Wuju sat down, and Ye Huan went to serve the dishes and rice.

If there's nothing else going on at lunchtime, Ye Huan and her grandfather usually don't drink alcohol, so the dishes for lunch are generally not as elaborate as those for dinner.

Looking at a plate of pork ribs, a dish of sausages, two stir-fried vegetables, and a tomato and egg soup, Ye Huan asked, "Mom, has our family gone bankrupt?"

"Huh???" Ye Huan's mother looked at her son in confusion.

"Why is there so little food? I just got back. Aren't you going to make me something nice to eat to help me recover?" Ye Huan said with a smile.

"Isn't that enough for you? Stop nagging." Ye Huan's mother was speechless. Four dishes and a soup weren't enough? What were you thinking?

"Both of your cousin's families have been arrested, supposedly for involvement in a case. They won't let us inquire about it..."

"Mom, are you done with your own things? Don't worry about other people's business." Ye Huan interrupted his mother's question directly.

"I just saw my eldest sister's family crying so pitifully," Ye Huan's mother said.

"You pity others, but when have others ever pitied our family? Back then, when you and Dad were reduced to working away from home and had to pay social security and pensions for your younger brother, did anyone pity you and Dad then? Not even a kind word?" Ye Huan didn't want her mother to be a saint.

It involves drugs and human organ trafficking. Is this something a human being would do?

Please urge me to update, thank you.
