Clan Cultivation: The Ye Clan

Ye Zhenzhen took out her communication jade tablet; it contained a message from Qi Qianyi.

[Zhen'er, how have you been lately? I'll be arriving in Yunlin City in a month. Do you still need my help to send your brother to the South Sea Sect? Awaiting your reply.]

After listening, Ye Zhenzhen hesitated for a while. Should she send him or not? She really hadn't decided yet, but when she thought about Lin Qian'er as a potential threat, she really didn't want to send her brother over. But for the long term, she should still send him over.

It was a really tough decision.

Ye Zhenzhen replied to Qi Qianyi directly: "[Everything is fine. We still need to discuss whether to send my brother over. I will reply as soon as possible after we have a decision. Please wait, thank you.]"

After sending the message to Qi Qianyi, Ye Zhenzhen immediately sent the information to He Ruonan, asking for her father's opinion.

Heronan received the message but did not reply immediately.

Ye Zhenzhen was filled with anxiety. Why wasn't her father replying?

Before Ye Zhenzhen could think further, half an hour later, He Ruonan brought Ye Zhenwen and Ye Zhenwu to the cave at the bottom of the lake.

When Ye Zhenzhen saw her family, her face beamed with smiles, and she said with a hint of reproach, "Why didn't you send a message, Father? You made me worry for so long."

He Ruonan patted his daughter's back gently and coaxed her, "As soon as Daddy got the news, he rushed to discuss it with your brothers."

Ye Zhenzhen was immediately appeased after hearing He Ruonan's explanation.

Turning to the matter, she asked, "Have Father and Brother discussed it? What was their final decision?"

The atmosphere instantly turned somber when this topic was brought up.

Heronan looked at his youngest son and made the final decision, "Let him go."

Although Ye Zhenzhen had already suspected this, she still couldn't help but feel worried when she heard it.

Looking at her younger brother with a worried expression, she realized she needed to make more preparations and secretly made a decision.

Ye Zhenwen comforted him, "Don't worry, I will teach my younger brother well during this month."

Ye Zhenzhen walked to Ye Zhenwu's side and hugged her younger brother's chubby body tightly. "Go for it, my little brother is always the best."

Ye Zhenwu hugged his sister back and nodded heavily, "I will definitely be the best."

Ye Zhenzhen released Ye Zhenwu and said to He Ruonan, "Father, please keep an eye on things for me for a while. I need to go to the storeroom to see if there are any usable magic weapons."

Ye Zhenwu grabbed Ye Zhenzhen's arm. "Sister, no need. Father has already given me this."

As he spoke, Ye Zhenwu pulled a stone from his chest and showed it to Ye Zhenzhen.

Ye Zhenzhen bent down and took a closer look. "Is this the Sky-Covering Stone?"

Heronan nodded with a smile, "Yes, I heard that this stone can conceal the secrets of heaven, so I chose this one."

"I don't know if it can conceal the secrets of heaven, but it can be used to conceal Wu'er's acquired lightning spirit body."

Ye Zhenzhen carefully placed the Sky-Covering Stone under Ye Zhenwu's collar and instructed, "Wu'er, you must keep this safe. You must never let anyone see it, understand?"

Ye Zhenwu nodded solemnly, "I understand, that's what Father said too."

Ye Zhenzhen turned to look at her father, He Ruonan, "Father is so thoughtful. I'll go see if there's anything else for my brother to use for self-defense."

Hero Nan thought for a moment, "Then you go ahead, I'll watch over it for a while."

After saying that, he turned to look at Ye Zhenwen and Ye Zhenwu, "You two should go back first. These days, Wu'er has been with Wen'er and being taught by him."

"Yes," Ye Zhenwen replied, then pulled Ye Zhenwu and Ye Zhenzhen away from the underwater cave.

After the three of them got ashore, they parted ways.

Ye Zhenzhen walked towards the back warehouse. When she arrived at the door, she bowed to the clansmen guarding the gate, explained the situation, and then went directly into the warehouse.

They bumped right into Ye Amber, who was just coming out.

This is the first time I've seen this since the last meeting.

Ye Zhenzhen looked a little embarrassed. She stopped about ten feet away from Ye Anbo, bowed respectfully, and said nothing, not knowing what to say.

Ye Anbo looked at his niece across from him, unsure of what to say.

I have to admit that I was angry. I was angry that my niece acted on her own initiative, angry that she didn't consider the bigger picture, and even more angry that she was so sharp-tongued and didn't give me, her uncle, any face at all.

But seeing Ye Zhenzhen's performance now, alas, she's still out of practice.

Ye Anbo didn't say anything, just waved and left.

Ye Zhenzhen waited respectfully for Ye Anbo to leave before continuing to walk into the warehouse.

Once inside, there were several rooms, and the clansmen explained the situation to Ye Zhenzhen.

"The family storeroom is quite full right now. This room contains talismans, and this room contains..."

When Ye Zhenzhen heard that there were a lot of things in the storeroom, she sighed inwardly, "There really are a lot. So many good things in the storage bags are all here."

While thinking this in her heart, Ye Zhenzhen didn't show it on her face.

Ye Zhenzhen walked straight towards the room containing the treasures, showing no interest in anything else.

The clansman opened the door to the room containing the treasures and gestured to Ye Zhenzhen, "Zhenzhen, you can only choose two items, so please be careful."

"Thank you," Ye Zhenzhen said, bowing slightly before stepping inside.

There are indeed many treasures inside: Golden Jade, Refined Crystal, Dream Stone, Longevity Bamboo, Bone-Growing Flower, Starry Blue...

Ye Zhenzhen only glanced at it briefly and didn't find what she wanted. Continuing forward, Ye Zhenzhen stopped in front of a shelf displaying a ten-thousand-year-old Xuan Turtle Shell. This was it.

The black soft armor set can be worn directly under the robe, giving the body an extra layer of protection. It's a good thing!

Gently touching the surface of the soft shell, you can feel its thickness; it's clearly a rare and valuable specimen.

This is it! It's the perfect protection for my younger brother.

Ye Zhenzhen held the soft armor in her hand and continued to examine it.

From the moment he entered, Ye Zhenzhen had a vague feeling that something was calling to him.

Ye Zhenzhen walked from beginning to end without getting tired of it, but why couldn't she feel anything?

Was I going the wrong way? I walked back to the door, and that vague feeling returned.

Continuing towards the door, I saw a box filled with miscellaneous items next to it.

The box was full of old, broken pieces that looked devoid of any spirit.

Could it be inside?

Ye Zhenzhen opened the box and began rummaging through its contents.

What kind of junk is in here!

A broken sword hilt, an unidentified stone, a lid of some unknown object, a chipped alchemy furnace…

Ye Zhenzhen thought to herself, "No, but the feeling is still there."

There's no other way, let's keep searching.

I finally managed to flip the box to the very bottom. Could this be it?
