Ye Zhantian was delighted too. With two more additions to the mid-rank nine team, the Ye Clan had a total of five rank nine combatants now. If one considered Ye Chen a mid-rank nine combatant, then the clan had a total of four mid-rank nine fighters. After that great battle, Ye Zhantian was close to attaining mid-rank nine following the breakthrough in his Celestial Chi. By then, the clan would truly have five mid-rank nine fighters. In such an isolated place, the Ye Clan was considered the strongest clan in the area.
“Little Chen, there’ll be many clans from Donglin County who will come forward to congratulate you at the celebration tomorrow. You should head back and make your preparations, give our clan a good name. It’s been a long while since the clan had such a glorious moment!” Ye Zhantian said gleefully. He looked to the distance. “It’s not safe to put Fluffy One and Fluffy Two at the castle gate. I’ll dig up a spot in the backyard and make them a den!”
The entire clan was in a festive mood. They had been greeted with wave after wave of good news and could see the positive changes coming to the clan. The news of Ye Chen’s miraculous deeds had reached the ears of many families and now, he was adored and regarded by many with the utmost respect.
The Ye Castle was in a state of euphoria. The crowd banged their gongs in excitement the moment the Scarlet Sky Tiger and the Stormphantom Panther set foot in the castle grounds. Colorful lanterns decorated the castle, signifying joy and happiness.
The following day, before the sun barely rose, the people were already up and hard at work. The streets in the castle had turned lively.
Ye Changxuan and Ye Zhantian had already gotten down to their chores. Ye Chen, who knew nothing, remained by the side and offered an occasional hand.
Everyone in the castle wore a happy face.
“I heard at least ten clans are attending the celebration today.”
“I doubt it’s just ten. After all, the elder chief was selected to be Master Apothecary Xuanyi’s disciple, it’s a big deal. I’m sure clans from all over the place would flock over to offer their greeting. Finally, the clan is getting the recognition it deserves!”
The people’s words moved the elderly to tears. They were now at peace knowing that the clan was finally glorious again.
“Did you guys hear that Fluffy One and Fluffy Two tagged along with Ye Meng and the rest of the boys for a nightly patrol?”
“Fluffy One and Fluffy Two are obedient.”
“Right! I even fed them two pieces of meat each this morning!”
The people of the Ye Clan were relatively simple. As long as they were treated with kindness, they would return the kindness twofold, two beasts included.
The sky was barely lit but there was already a long line outside the castle gate. Groups of people carrying baskets of goods waited outside. Henceforth, the Ye Clan was the strongest clan within the vicinity. Once Ye Chen became Master Apothecary Xuanyi’s disciple, the entire Donglin County would have to bow to them. Neither dared to take the celebration lightly.
The castle gates opened with a loud creak. The men tasked with security and ushering the guests were all shocked by the turnup. The crowd was so huge that they could not possibly scan the crowd with one look. Dear lord, there were many people!
“Get in line and enter one by one. Leave your invitation passes at the door!”
Soon, the first wave of guests began to pour into the castle.
“Xu Clan from the North of Donglin County, presenting us with a Violet Coral, a piece of Clarity Jade, ten Centenarian Lingzhi, thirty Centenarian Fire Ginseng, a hundred-and-fifty-year-old Heavenly Glacial Herb…” a member of the clan announced.
