Clan Cultivation: The Ye Clan

Before Ye Anbo could speak, Ye Zhenzhen felt the communication jade tablet in her storage bag flash.

Ye Zhenzhen took out a communication jade tablet and tapped it lightly. Ding Shuyao's voice came through: "Zhenzhen, where are you? I went to your room, but you're not here."

Ye Zhenzhen quickly replied to Ding Shuyao via telepathy, [Sister, I'm still in my family's room at the Commoner's Inn, what's wrong?]

Soon, Ding Shuyao's voice message came through: "Why did it take you so long to reply? Those were the messages I sent you last night. I'm relieved to see you with your family."

Ye Zhenzhen continued via telepathy, "Sister, I'm sorry, I was too tired yesterday and went to bed early. I only saw this this morning. Are you going out today?"

Ding Shuyao: [Yes, we're going to handle things at Zi Fu Xuan. Um, we'll discuss the details when we meet. You and your family should have some time together and be careful.]

Ye Zhenzhen: [Okay, sister, please be careful too.]

After the telepathic message ended, Ye Zhenzhen noticed that all three people in the room were looking at her, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Ye Zhenwen smiled and said, "It's nothing."

Ye Amber said, "Now you know why I rushed out with you guys."

Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Zhenwen looked puzzled.

Ye Anbo looked at Ye Zhenzhen and said, "Because your friends are here. If you don't show up for a long time, your friends might get anxious and look for you, or do something else. If we suddenly reappear then, others will easily guess that we have some kind of space that can hold living things, and then you will be in danger."

"Besides, we don't have a sign on our door saying we're closed for business. There's no guarantee that someone won't break in without our knowledge, which would greatly increase the chances of us being discovered."

"Zhen'er, think things through before you do them, and try to do everything thoroughly to avoid future problems."

After saying that, he took Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Zhenwen's hands and said, "You must not tell anyone that you have treasures on you, and you must not show them in front of others, understand? You must know that the more valuable the treasure you possess, the more discreet you must be, in order to live a long life."

Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Zhenwen nodded.

Ye Anbo looked at Ye Zhenzhen and asked, "Zhen'er, my plan is to learn about the basic situation of Maple Leaf City today, and then take the teleportation array back tomorrow. Is there anything else you need to do here?"

Ye Zhenzhen: "It's okay, it's fine."

Ye Anbo: "Then ask your sister later when she'll have time so we can invite her to dinner."

Ye Zhenzhen nodded, "I'll ask in a bit."

Ye Amber: "Tell me when you've confirmed it. Now everyone get ready and head out."

After Ye Anbo finished speaking, he looked at Ye Shiqing, who nodded in agreement.

Everyone started cleaning themselves up, and Ye Zhenzhen took the opportunity to finalize with Ding Shuyao that evening's dinner in a private room at Yunlai Inn, and informed Ye Anbo.

Seeing that everyone was almost ready, Ye Anbo and his group of four left the inn.

The four learned about Maple Leaf City's population, prices, power structure, shop prices, and other aspects.

Passing by a seed shop, Ye Zhenwen said he wanted to go in and take a look.

The four of them went inside, and Ye Zhenwen bought two portions of every type of spirit herb seed of level two or above in the shop.

After making the purchase, Ye Zhenwen smiled and looked at Ye Zhenzhen.

Ye Zhenzhen suddenly had a bad feeling. Could these be things they want me to plant in the Life Bead?

So many! Are you trying to kill me with exhaustion?

Ye Zhenzhen pouted, unhappy.

Ye Anbo led a group of people to buy some spirit beast cubs and spirit beast eggs, which they put in the spirit beast bag.

Ye Zhenzhen wondered, why did her uncle buy this?

Ye Zhenwen thought for a moment and roughly understood Ye Anbo's intention.

Finally, Ye Anbo spent a lot of money to buy several Tier 3 array plates that combined offense and defense, spending a lot of spirit stones.

Ye Zhenzhen grumbled unhappily, "I'll be able to inscribe second-order array plates soon, how far away will third-order ones be?"

It hurts to spend so many spirit stones.

Ye Anbo patted Ye Zhenzhen's head without explaining.

That evening, the four of them waited for Ding Shuyao in a private room at the Yunlai Inn.

Soon, there was a loud knocking at the door.

Ye Zhenzhen ran over quickly, opened the door, and looked at Ding Shuyao happily.

Unaware that Ye Yuhan was beside her, he pulled Ding Shuyao into the private room.

Ding Shuyao turned and glanced at her senior brother Ye Yuhan, as if she wanted to explain something.

Ye Yuhan gently shook her head, indicating that it was alright.

He silently followed behind Ding Shuyao.

At this moment, Ye Zhenzhen had already pulled Ding Shuyao to Ye Shiqing and began to introduce him to Ding Shuyao, "This is my second grandfather Ye Shiqing, this is my eldest uncle Ye Anbo, and this is my brother Ye Zhenwen."

"This is the sister who saved me. Her name is Ding Shuyao, and she is a disciple of the South Sea Sect."

After Ye Zhenzhen finished her introduction, she looked at the four people, and her expression seemed a little off.

Ye Zhenwen smiled and said, "The one behind him must be Fellow Daoist Ding's senior brother."

Ye Zhenzhen turned around and saw that Ye Yuhan was behind Ding Shuyao. She immediately became obedient and stood next to Ye Zhenwen.

Seeing that Ye Zhenzhen didn't intend to introduce herself, Ye Yuhan said, "I am Ye Yuhan, a disciple of the South Sea Sect, and Ding Shuyao's senior brother. I came uninvited after hearing that you were inviting my junior sister to dinner. I apologize for disturbing you."

Ye Anbo smiled and complimented, "It is our honor to dine with a Golden Core cultivator. Please."

After speaking, he extended his left hand, making a gesture of invitation, preparing to let Ye Yuhan take a seat.

Ye Yuhan didn't stand on ceremony and sat down in the seat of honor. Ding Shuyao glared at her senior brother unhappily when she saw him like this.

Then she sat down next to him, pulling Ye Zhenzhen to sit next to her.

Ye Shiqing and Ye Anbo and the others also sat down in turn.

Ye Zhenwen called over a waiter, brought out the menu, handed it to Ye Yuhan, and said, "Senior, please."

Ye Yuhan didn't take the order, but said directly, "When in Rome, do as the host says, you can order."

Ye Anbo took the menu, quickly ordered several signature dishes and a pot of wine, and told the waiter to bring the food quickly.

Because of Ye Yuhan's presence, everyone was rather reserved.

Ye Zhenwen consciously poured wine for everyone except Ye Zhenzhen.

Ye Anbo raised his wine glass and said to Ding Shuyao, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ding, for your help in the Misty Forest and for saving my niece. This glass is for you."

Ding Shuyao quickly waved her hand and said, "It was nothing, not worth mentioning."

After saying that, the two raised their glasses and drank them down in one gulp.

Just as Ye Anbo was about to continue, the waiter knocked on the door, announcing that the spiritual meal was ready.

The waiter quickly arranged the food, then closed the door and left.

Ye Anbo raised his freshly filled wine glass and toasted Ye Yuhan.

I thought Ye Yuhan wouldn't drink it, but Ye Yuhan actually drank it to be polite.

Ye Zhenzhen didn't care about their drinking culture; she just kept her head down and ate.

When she tasted something delicious, she would put a piece of food on her brother's plate and then put a piece on Ding Shuyao's plate.

Soon, Ye Zhenzhen, Ye Zhenwen, and Ding Shuyao had almost finished eating.

Bored, Ye Zhenzhen whispered to Ding Shuyao, "Sister, what's going on at Zi Fu Xuan today?"
