Clan Cultivation: The Ye Clan

Upon hearing the news, Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Zhenwen exchanged a glance, their faces grave.

Pulling Ye Zhenwu up, the two of them flew up in a flash, and in the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, they arrived in front of the notice board.

Ye Zhenzhen stood on tiptoe, trying to spot He Ruonan among the crowd in front of her, but she failed.

Ye Zhenzhen tugged at Ye Zhenwen's sleeve, "Brother, have you seen Father?"

Ye Zhenwen shook his head, "No, there are too many people, you can't see anyone at all."

Seeing the surging crowd ahead, Ye Zhenzhen said, "Forget it, let's not look for it. Let's just squeeze to the front and see what it says."

Ye Zhenwen nodded, "Let's do it that way."

Let go of Ye Zhenwu's hand and let him play here as he pleases. Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Zhenwen squeeze forward desperately.

The crowd was so tight it was almost squashed, but the two of them finally reached the notice board and saw the words on it.

Ye Zhenzhen's face showed an expression of disbelief, "Is this a notice that a human could write?"

Someone nearby chimed in, "That's a good question, I'd like to ask that too."

Ye Zhenzhen turned her head and saw that it was Ye Zhendong. The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Ye Zhenwen looked at the notice board, unable to open his mouth to argue.

Helplessly, she turned to look at the two of them. "Didn't you know about this before?"

"That's for sure."

"If I had known beforehand, I would have given them a good talking to."

Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Zhendong spoke in unison, both expressing their anger.

"Hey"

"Hey"

"Hey"

Three sighs came in an orderly fashion, and finally drifted away with the wind.

Several of the other people gathered around the sign were cursing, while the rest wore expressions of schadenfreude.

At this moment, He Ruonan squeezed next to Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Zhenwen, took their arms, and left the crowd.

The three men's faces were as black as the bottom of a pot. Just as they were about to leave, they saw Ye Anxin coming towards them.

Ye Anxin had just contacted several people and agreed to buy some mission points from them. She estimated that she should have enough mission points to buy two Foundation Establishment Pills.

She ran into the father and his two daughters. Just as she was about to tell them the good news, seeing their expressions, Ye Anxin silently swallowed the words she was about to say.

He then asked with concern, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Zhenwen turned to He Ruonan with grim expressions. "You tell me."

He Ruonan ignored the siblings' misunderstanding, took Ye Anxin's hand, and said vaguely, "It's nothing serious, let's go back first and talk about it when we get back."

Although Ye Anxin had some doubts, seeing that everyone in her family was safe and sound, she felt a little relieved and went home with He Ruonan.

As He Ruonan left, he turned to Ye Zhenwen and said, "Wen'er, take Zhen'er and Wu'er outside to play for a while. Don't rush back."

Ye Zhenwen nodded in agreement. He decided to let his father talk to his mother about it.

He took Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Zhenwu to the lakeside to play.

Ye Zhenzhen leaned closer to Ye Zhenwen and whispered, "Who suggested this Foundation Establishment? It's a bit too mean."

Ye Zhenwen looked at his younger brother playing not far away and said, "It's either my uncle or my grandfather, sigh."

Ye Zhenzhen said, "We went through a lot of trouble to get these Foundation Establishment Pills, but now we have to pay for them with mission points. This is so unreasonable."

Ye Zhenwen: "Yes, judging from Mother's expression just now, it seemed like we had agreed to collect two Foundation Establishment Pills. Now it's a problem; not only are we not enough for even one, but you and Father also owe a lot of mission points... sigh~"

Ye Zhenzhen: "This is too much of a rip-off. If I had known, I should have kept all the Foundation Establishment Pills for myself and not given them to my uncle."

As she said this, Ye Zhenzhen angrily grabbed a handful of grass from the ground, pulled it up hard, and threw it far away.

Ye Zhenwu thought his sister was playing, so he squatted down and started pulling weeds too.

Ye Zhenwen gave Ye Zhenwu a word of advice, telling him to be careful with his hands, and then continued playing with Ye Zhenzhen's crickets. "Your idea is not advisable. It is right to teach, but you can't be so honest next time."

Ye Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at Ye Zhenwen. "What, do you approve of the family's approach?"

Ye Zhenwen unconsciously touched his nose. "This approach is indeed unethical, but it's all for the sake of the family's development!"

"Didn't you see? Even my eldest uncle, as well as my grandfather and second grandfather, all had Foundation Establishment Pills purchased with spirit stones from the family. Didn't they still need to make up for the mission points?"

"This is all to encourage our clansmen to improve, so just bear with it."

Ye Zhenzhen said, "I'm just not convinced. I've put in so much effort, and this is the result. Just wait and see. If something like this happens again, I'm afraid I won't be able to command my people anymore. They've all lost heart."

Ye Zhenwen thought about it and realized that it made sense.

But he still said on behalf of the family, "Don't be so pessimistic. Didn't you see the new family task list on the notice next to you? It has a high task point reward for finding new spiritual plants and herbs, as well as high-level pills, talisman arrays and the like."

"I guess they released it on purpose to give people hope, in case they were worried that the people would be dissatisfied."

"There's still hope for the mission point."

Ye Zhenzhen glanced at Ye Zhenwen with displeasure, "You stand over there! How can you side with the family?"

Ye Zhenwen gently smoothed the stray hairs that had been ruffled by the wind, comforting his sister. "I'll always be on your side, your brother will always be on your side."

Ye Zhenzhen nodded in satisfaction, "That's more like it."

Turning around, he saw Ye Zhenwu, who had already wreaked havoc all over the place. He hissed and pulled the two of them home quickly.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard faint sobbing.

Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Zhenwen exchanged a glance, then pulled their younger brother away.

Ye Zhenzhen pulled her older and younger brothers toward the notice board.

Ye Zhenwen asked curiously, "Didn't you just finish watching it? Why are you going to do it again?"

Ye Zhenzhen said aggressively, "Let's take another look and see which tasks have a high task points. Let's work hard and help Mother accumulate some task points."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenwen thought, "That makes sense. We really should take a closer look."

The three of them squeezed in again. This time, the two of them were in no hurry. They carefully looked through the task list and wrote down the tasks with high completion points that they could complete.

Ignoring everything else, he rushed to the office and quickly accepted the task.

As soon as Ye Zhenzhen entered and handed over her identity token, her mission points turned into a negative number.

Ye Zhenzhen glared at the person in charge of the mission point and loudly recited the missions she was to take on.

Seeing Ye Zhenzhen's unfriendly attitude, the person in charge forced a smile and earnestly helped Ye Zhenzhen with the matter.

This attitude persisted all morning; I've gotten used to it.

After finishing her work, Ye Zhenzhen turned to leave, but was stopped.
