Clan Cultivation: The Ye Clan

It wasn't until the two had walked far away that Huang Shuwen realized what was happening and looked at the jade bottle in his hand.

Upon opening it, I found a top-grade first-tier healing pill.

After checking and finding no problems, Huang Shuwen fed one to his father and sister respectively.

My sister's wounds have visibly healed a lot.

The father's injuries had only stabilized slightly, indicating that first-tier pills had limited effect on Foundation Establishment cultivators.

After his father and sister had rested, Huang Shuwen was still thinking about what the little girl had said.

Three days, I'll wait three days. I want to see who comes looking for me.

On the other side, as soon as Ye Zhenzhen and her brother left, they discovered that a tail was following them.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with helplessness. This Li family really had no end in sight.

The two found a dead corner in an alley, took care of the tail, and then returned to their rented courtyard.

With no one in the courtyard, the two returned to their respective rooms and began meditating and cultivating.

The Li family on the other side.

Li Nanfeng received another report from his subordinates, informing him that he had lost track of the person again. He was furious, gave his subordinates a beating, and then arranged for a cultivator with higher cultivation to keep an eye on the Huang family.

She considered whether to deal with Huang Shuwen again, but fearing it might backfire, she decided to wait a few more days.

Li Nanfeng never expected that this very decision would lead to his utter defeat.

Soon, another night passed.

Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Zhenrong sat in the same spot in the teahouse, waiting for Ji Xiahan to arrive.

Ye Zhenrong: "Are you sure Ji Xiahan will come?"

Ye Zhenzhen: "If he weren't an idiot, he probably would have come back."

Soon, Ji Xiahan arrived. He didn't come alone; he brought a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties with him.

After entering the private room and sitting down, Ji Xiahan introduced the middle-aged man to Ye Zhenzhen: "This is Uncle Li. He came from the Ji family with my mother. He is a trustworthy person."

Ye Zhenzhen glanced at the middle-aged man, who was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, but said nothing. She picked up the teapot next to her and poured tea for the two of them.

In her mind, she was thinking that this Uncle Li seemed to be the one who collected Ji Xiahan's body in her past life, so it was believable.

After pouring the tea, push it towards the other person.

Uncle Li didn't move, he just stared at Ye Zhenzhen and the other person for a while.

He unleashed the pressure of a Foundation Establishment cultivator upon the two, asking, "Who are you? What is your purpose in seeking out our young master?"

Ye Zhenzhen used her spiritual power to resist the intense pressure and looked directly at Uncle Li. "My name is Ye Zhenzhen, and this is my brother, Ye Zhenrong."

"I told Ji Xiahan about our purpose yesterday, didn't he tell you?"

Uncle Li continued to press on, expressionless, "Answer."

Ye Zhenzhen: "My family wants to buy that shop, we need your help."

Uncle Li: "Then what is your purpose in helping our young master?"

Ye Zhenzhen: "Perhaps it's because... I pity him."

While saying this, I was thinking to myself, "Consider it compensation. In my past life, I was an accomplice in his death."

"Could you please remove the intimidating aura? If I were plotting against him, I wouldn't have let him bring his men."

Uncle Li looked into the person's eyes and, seeing no malice, withdrew his oppressive aura.

Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Zhenrong moved at the same time, picked up their cups, took a sip of tea, looked at each other, and said nothing.

Seeing that Uncle Li had withdrawn his oppressive aura, Ji Xiahan knew that his test was over and asked, "You asked me to come to you today, are you going to help me? How will you help me?"

Ye Zhenzhen: "You must have found out something when you went back yesterday!"

Ji Xiahan: "Indeed, I discovered that my servant was talking to that illegitimate child..."

Ye Zhenzhen made a stop gesture and said, "You know what you found out yourself, you don't need to tell me."

"What I want to tell you is that you need to control Li Nanfeng's confidant, Ji Xiaqing's confidant, and your father's confidant, preferably keep them alive."

Uncle Li: "Are you planning to expose me in public?"

Ye Zhenzhen: "It's so easy to talk to smart people."

After saying that, Ye Zhenzhen looked up at the Huang family's shop across the street and continued, "His family members will be the help you need."

Uncle Li: "The Huang family?"

Ye Zhenzhen nodded, "Yes, their family now lives in a shantytown and is having a very difficult time."

Uncle Li instantly understood the meaning behind Ye Zhenzhen's words; she was preparing to have them subdue this family.

"Also, the Li family's dog is watching his house, so be careful."

Uncle Li: "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Ye Zhenzhen looked at Ji Xiahan and said, "People often don't have a good impression of the perpetrators, but if they know that the perpetrator was framed, they are more likely to forgive them. If the perpetrator sincerely apologizes, he will gain more goodwill. After all, a prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold."

Uncle Li nodded, indicating that he understood.

Seeing Uncle Li nod, Ji Xiahan said, "I've already spoken to them about that shop. You can go and transfer the ownership anytime you need."

Upon hearing what Ji Xiahan said, Uncle Li immediately spoke up to stop her.

Then Ye Zhenzhen said, "I will talk to the Huang family about the shop in 7 days. I believe that should be enough time for you to handle this matter. After all, you need a start to deal with this."

Ji Xiahan looked completely bewildered.

Uncle Li nodded and prepared to leave with Ji Xiahan, as there were still many things to take care of.

Just before they were about to push open the door, they heard Ye Zhenzhen's voice.

"I heard that your mother passed away 8 years ago, and Ji Xiaqing is also 8 years old this year."

After saying this, Ye Zhenzhen picked up her teacup and slowly drank her tea, showing no intention of continuing the conversation.

Ji Xiahan looked back at Ye Zhenzhen with a blank expression, then pushed open the door and left.

Uncle Li turned back and gave Ye Zhenzhen a deep look, wondering what the deeper meaning of her words was. Could the death of the madam be related to that illegitimate child? It seems he needs to investigate the events of that year thoroughly when he gets back.

This young girl is quite something.

She left with Ji Xiahan.

Ye Zhenrong waved the door shut and looked at Ye Zhenzhen.

He asked, "Was Ji Xiahan's mother killed by Ji Xiaqing's mother?"

Ye Zhenzhen: "Not only that, there's also his father."

Ye Zhenrong: "This child is quite pitiful, but how did you know? It seems like you know it very clearly."

Ye Zhenzhen smiled and said, "It's a secret."

Ye Zhenrong looked at his sister with a meaningful expression and changed the subject, saying, "You're helping him like this, not just because you want to get this shop, right?"

Ye Zhenzhen: "Yes, we still want his protection. With his protection, our family's shop will be secure."

After finishing the tea and snacks on the table, Ye Zhenzhen said, "Let's go back. They'll have to handle the rest themselves. After all, we're still just kids."

After finishing their conversation, Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Zhenrong returned to their own courtyard.
