Clan Cultivation: The Ye Clan

Ye Zhenzhen smiled ingratiatingly, "Oh, it's been a long time."

Facing the angry bird-like face opposite him, Ye Zhenzhen felt extremely guilty.

Qingluan stared intently at Ye Zhenzhen with her beady eyes.

He asked through gritted teeth, "Where did you go?"

Ye Zhenzhen's mind raced, and she immediately put on a troubled expression. "I went to see my brother off. He must have had a hard time."

Qingluan stared at Ye Zhenzhen suspiciously, "Is it true? I don't quite believe it."

Ye Zhenzhen said earnestly, "I've just been too busy, that's why I forgot about you. Zhenzhen didn't mean to."

Qingluan looked displeased. "You can't just disappear without a word. I was always worried about you."

Ye Zhenzhen didn't believe a word of this. She clearly wanted to go out and have fun, and she spoke so sincerely that I almost believed her.

He said gratefully, "It won't happen again next time. I'll definitely bring you next time."

After finally calming the bird down, Ye Zhenzhen reached the end of the passage and glanced at her mother's secluded cave, the door still tightly closed.

I don't know how things are going. Oh well, let's just wait and see.

Ye Zhenzhen returned to her normal life and began researching and carving third-order array plates.

Days passed by, and after half a month, there was finally some movement in Ye Anxin's secluded cave.

Ye Zhenzhen looked up, staring intently at the entrance of the cave.

After waiting for a long time, the cave door opened, and Ye Anxin came out.

Ye Zhenzhen noticed that Ye Anxin's expression was off, so she released her divine sense to investigate. Oh no, her mother had failed to establish her foundation.

Ye Zhenzhen immediately got up, quickly walked to her mother's side, and helped her mother up.

She asked with concern, "Mother, what happened?"

Ye Anxin failed to establish her foundation, and her face was full of frustration.

Hearing Ye Zhenzhen's question, he shook his head slightly, "It's nothing, it's just that I wasted two Foundation Establishment Pills, and I feel bad about it."

Ye Zhenzhen didn't take it seriously after hearing this. "It's alright, Mother. We were just not prepared enough this time. Fortunately, my dantian is fine. We'll try again next time when we're better prepared."

As Ye Zhenzhen spoke words of comfort, she helped Ye Anxin sit down on the futon next to the stone table.

Ye Anxin was still worried, "The two Foundation Establishment Pills that I got by owing so many mission points are just going to go to waste like this. I don't know how long it will take to pay them off."

Ye Zhenzhen squatted down in front of her mother, looking into her eyes, "The four of us will work together and pay it off soon, don't worry."

Comforted by her daughter, Ye Anxin managed a weak smile.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Zhenzhen sent a message to her father, He Ruonan. After waiting for a while without receiving a reply, Ye Zhenzhen used her token to close the door of the secluded cultivation cave and returned to her own courtyard with her mother.

After meeting her brother Ye Zhenwen and explaining the situation, she learned that her father had not returned since he went out last time.

Upon hearing this news, Ye Zhenzhen suddenly had a bad feeling. Could something have happened?

But Ye Zhenzhen really couldn't leave right now, so she asked her brother to comfort their mother and then returned to her secluded cave.

Presumably, people will be coming to the secluded cave soon.

Sure enough, two days later, Ye Zhenhan and Ye Zhentian arrived together.

"You two planned to meet up?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"No."

Both of them denied it, and Ye Zhenzhen silently shut up. It seems that the two of them don't have a very good relationship!

Ye Zhenzhen didn't say much. She led the two to the end of the passage, opened two doors, and said to them, "One room each, choose one."

Ye Zhenhan pointed to the one on the left and said bluntly, "I've got my eye on this one. It's mine."

After saying that, he ignored other people's opinions and went straight inside.

"and many more."

"What? You have a problem with that?" Ye Zhenhan asked rudely.

Ye Zhenzhen frowned as she looked at Ye Zhenhan. She didn't think she had offended her, so why was Ye Zhenhan acting like this?

Ye Zhenzhen gently tapped the control token, and the cave door closed directly.

Ye Zhenhan turned her head and stared coldly at Ye Zhenzhen, "What do you mean by this?"

Ye Zhentian walked a few steps to Ye Zhenzhen, blocking Ye Zhenhan's unfriendly gaze.

Ye Zhenzhen glanced gratefully at Ye Zhentian, took a step to the left, and stood next to Ye Zhentian.

With a standard fake smile on his face, he said to Ye Zhenhan, "I don't know where I offended you, and I don't want to know."

"But before you go in, as the guardian here, there are some things I must tell you."

"The only way to open the secluded cultivation cave is from the inside, except with the token in my hand. I can break through to the next level with peace of mind."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenhan looked at Ye Zhenzhen with a suspicious gaze, and was about to say something when Ye Zhenzhen interrupted her with her next words.

"If you don't believe me, you can wait for half a year or so. By then, I probably won't be the one guarding you anymore."

After saying that, Ye Zhenzhen continued without pausing, "Also, as a friendly reminder, prepare some spirit stones, which can be used to supplement spiritual energy when it is insufficient."

After speaking, Ye Zhenzhen tapped the token, and the cave door reopened.

Ye Zhenzhen ignored Ye Zhenhan and looked at Ye Zhentian, smiling as she said, "Third Brother, do you have spirit stones? Are they enough? If not, I have some here."

Ye Zhentian glanced at Ye Zhenhan, saw her ashen face, and ignored her.

You think you're someone special, that everyone fawns over you? You're so spoiled.

Turning to Ye Zhenzhen with a smile, he said, "I have over 2 spirit stones here, I wonder if that's enough?"

Ye Zhenzhen thought for a moment, then took out an empty storage bag, put 10 spirit stones in front of Ye Zhenhan, and handed it to Ye Zhentian.

He kept muttering, "My tenth uncle, who broke through earlier, had a period of insufficient spiritual energy. I placed 10 spirit stones at the entrance of his cave. After he successfully established his foundation, the spirit stones were almost used up."

"Here are these spirit stones. Keep them in front of you before you break through, just in case."

Ye Zhentian looked at the storage bag handed to him, smiled and took it, "Thank you three times. I will work hard to earn spirit stones to pay you back after I break through."

"Not in a hurry."

Ye Zhenhan stood not far away, watching the scene of the two siblings being affectionate and respectful, and a surge of anger rushed to her chest.

She walked up to Ye Zhenzhen in a few steps, grabbed her arm, and questioned, "Why did you lend it to him but not to me?"

Ye Zhenzhen glanced at Ye Zhenhan, then looked down at her wrist that was being held.

He coldly uttered two words, "Let go."

Ye Zhenhan remained motionless, staring intently at Ye Zhenzhen, as if determined not to give up until she got an answer.

Ye Zhenzhen wasn't going to let her get away with it. She channeled her spiritual energy into her right hand and sent Ye Zhenhan flying with a single palm strike. Ye Zhenhan crashed to the entrance of the cave.

Ye Zhenzhen smiled at Ye Zhenhan, "Since you're in such a hurry, big sister, then let's go in directly."
