Clan Cultivation: The Ye Clan

When Ye Zhendong saw Ye Zhenzhen's clueless expression, his heart skipped a beat.

"Shortly after you left, someone came and said that the eldest young master had invited him, and then took Zhenwen away."

Ye Zhenzhen looked serious and fell into thought.

So, not long after I left, someone came to my door. Was it intentional or unintentional?

Or did I slip up after I went out, arousing their suspicion?

Impossible!

I went out by myself and only met with Mao Qian for a few words...

Wait, if there's something wrong with this penny, then it makes sense.

No, there was another person, the one she saw at the prison cell door. Thinking of this, Ye Zhenzhen carefully recalled Yang Biao's memories and confirmed that she had indeed never seen that person.

Strangers can move freely in the house; it seems I have indeed aroused their suspicion.

It seems they're planning to take advantage of the time difference and question my brother before I get back.

Brother, you must be careful when answering questions!

Seeing her daughter's changing expression, He Ruonan was filled with worry. "Zhen'er, what should we do? Should we think of a way to sneak out? If that doesn't work, we can just break out. Father will do everything in his power to protect you."

Ye Zhenzhen shook her head, "Go back."

"what?"

"What do you mean?"

Ye Zhendong and He Ruonan spoke up at the same time.

"Go back to the main room." After saying this, Ye Zhenzhen glanced back at Nanfeng and walked into the main room.

Nanfeng looked at the two people still standing in the courtyard, shook his head slightly, and followed them inside.

Ye Zhenzhen casually found a seat, poured herself a cup of tea, and slowly sipped it, worried about her brother's situation.

He ignored Nanfeng, who had followed him in.

Nanfeng was very self-aware. Seeing that Ye Zhenzhen was drinking tea by herself and ignoring him, he sat down next to her and poured himself a cup as well.

Seeing that Ye Zhenzhen was frowning, he wisely refrained from asking any questions.

Then, Ye Zhendong and He Ruonan went inside.

"Zhen'er, what are you thinking? Tell your father, otherwise I won't feel at ease!" He Ruonan asked anxiously.

Ye Zhendong remained silent, his gaze fixed intently on Ye Zhenzhen, waiting for her reply.

"I went to the guards' rest area and met someone there. Now that I think about it, that person was probably testing me." Ye Zhenzhen then recounted her conversation with Mao Qian.

"You mean, you gave yourself away?" Ye Zhendong asked uncertainly.

"Yes, that should be true," Ye Zhenzhen admitted.

"Wen'er was called in, probably to verify the truthfulness of your words?"

"Not only that, but they're probably starting to suspect us all." Ye Zhenzhen thought for a moment and then decided to speak directly.

Ye Zhendong couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up and looked at Ye Zhenzhen, "What should we do? We can't just wait to die. We should find a way to rescue Zhenwen and then find a way to get out!"

"How do we go? Just fight our way out? Do you have that ability? Or do I? Or do you think the four of us can take on the entire Dongfang family?" Ye Zhenzhen retorted bluntly.

Ye Zhendong awkwardly shut his mouth, sat down, and mumbled, unwilling to admit defeat, "Then what do we do? Just wait like this?"

"Yes, now we can only wait. As long as my brother doesn't get tricked into telling the truth, he should be able to come back safely. I'm just afraid..."

“I’m afraid that because he’s worried, he’ll try to protect you and reveal more flaws,” Nanfeng, who had been listening for a while, chimed in. “Besides, if I’m not mistaken, the person we met at the cell door just now was probably there to monitor you.”

Ye Zhenzhen turned to look at Nanfeng and saw him looking at her calmly.

This person is really clever. That's what I guessed too. If I can't leave soon, I'll probably be under surveillance for a while.

Thinking about this, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

"Zhen'er, is what he said true?"

"Yes, so until my brother comes back, we can only wait quietly."

Upon hearing this, the main room fell silent.

At this moment, each day feels like an eternity.

Time seemed to be stretched out indefinitely, making each second feel incredibly long.

Everyone sat in the main room, waiting for the person to return.

Watching the sun descend step by step from the center.

Watching the tea get hot and then cold, then hot again.

Looking at the people in the room, they would stand up, peek out from the courtyard gate, and then come back to sit down.

Finally, as evening approached, the courtyard gate creaked open.

The three members of the Ye family in the main room stood up at the same time and rushed out quickly.

Ye Zhenzhen quickly grabbed Nanfeng and He Ruonan and hid behind the door.

Seeing Ye Zhendong rush out, he said, "Second brother, you go."

Ye Zhendong was startled by Ye Zhenzhen's actions, and only then did he realize that the two people Zhen'er had grabbed were people who could not be seen by outsiders.

It seemed that only he could go. He paused for a moment, then quickly walked out of the main room and looked at the people in the courtyard.

Seeing that Ye Zhenwen was the only one there, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He said to Ye Zhenzhen, "Zhen'er, it's alright, come out."

Ye Zhenzhen pressed down on the two of them, shook her head slightly, and indicated that she would go out first.

He quickly walked out of the main room, smiled at Ye Zhenwen, and used his Crimson Eyes to carefully observe Ye Zhenwen.

She felt a little relieved after confirming that it was her brother.

Ye Zhenwen looked bewildered. "What's wrong? I just went out for a bit. Why do you feel a little paranoid?"

Ye Zhendong went over and closed the courtyard gate, then pulled Ye Zhenwen into the main room.

As soon as Ye Zhenwen entered, he frowned, pointed at Nanfeng, and asked, "Who is he?"

Ye Zhendong and He Ruonan then realized that they had been so nervous all afternoon that they had forgotten to ask this person.

The two of them looked at Ye Zhenzhen at the same time. Yes, who is he?

Ye Zhenzhen glanced at Nanfeng and said, "I met a friend in Maple Leaf City. I saw him in the jail a few days ago, so I thought I'd help him out and brought him out with me."

"You must have used Elder Hu's name to beat him up, no wonder!" Ye Zhenwen found a seat and sat down.

"What do you mean?" Ye Zhenzhen asked.

“I was summoned to Dongfang Mingchao’s courtyard and asked to refine pills. Based on Elder Hu’s memory, I managed to fool him. After handing the pills to Dongfang Mingchao, I chatted with him for a while. When he casually asked me if I had been assigned any tasks, I thought about it and answered truthfully.”

"The results of it?"

"What was the result? He didn't show anything on his face, so he probably didn't realize it."

Even Ye Zhenwen himself was a little unsure about what he was saying.

"No, he must have discovered something."
