Chapter 46 - Hometown Changed (2/2)
“Eleventh, I remind you that you should just drink and have fun. Don’t try to compete, since your Eighth Brother was even defeated by Thirteenth.” Qing Ji said with a smile.
“Oh……I just want to have fun with Thirteenth, I don’t have the intention to compete. I am not as insidious as Eighth Brother.” Mo Chen said with a smile.
“Brother and Sisters, taste the roast chicken cooked by Aunt Lin. It is absolutely fantastic. Eleventh Brother, let’s just drink freely since we got tons of chances to compete in drinking after returning to Taixuan Peak.” Ye Shang said with a smile.
“Master doesn’t lock you inside the house to cultivate? You have chances to drink?” Mo Chen looked at Ye Shang with a somewhat strange look since he remembered he only cultivated all day long and there was no chance to drink or do anything else when he was was first accepted as a disciple.
“Thirteenth is much better than we were, so Master doesn’t impose any restrictions on him. The main reason is that Thirteenth also strives hard. When he entered the Medicine Valley, he was at Qi-Refining Stage Level 3, but now he’s already in the middle of Qi-Refining Stage Level 7. How fast are his breakthroughs?” Yang Lei said.
“Ye Shang, you’ve reached Qi-Refining Stage Level 7?” Grandpa Gu didn’t have any cultivation base, but he was very shocked to hear Yang Lei’s words.
“Yes, Grandpa. After I left, I met a few good people. They taught me how to use the simple method to condense Qi, so I reached Level 3 of Qi-Refining by the time I entered the Medicine Valley.” Ye Shang nodded and said.
“It’s only been a bit more than 3 months. I always knew that you were not a simple child. If you have the opportunity, don’t forget to investigate your origins.” Grandpa Gu took a deep breath and said.
“I will. I should get my two relatives a bowl of wine now.” Ye Shang touched the jade on his neck, got up, and walked towards the back of the bamboo house.
Sensing that Qing Ji and Mo Zhen did not understand, Grandpa Gu told them Ye Shang’s situation.
“Thirteenth has great talents for cultivation, and it must be related to his origins. Thirteenth should look into it in the future.” Qing Ji said.
Standing in front of the tombstones, Ye Shang gave a bowl of wine each to both tombs. “I will work hard to cultivate and find out who you are in the future. No matter who you are, I will avenge you.”
Looking at the tombstones, Ye Shang once again touched the scar on his waist ribs. If it weren’t for the owners of the tombs, this scar might be at his heart.
Standing for a while, Ye Shang returned to the yard and drank with them.
The villagers in Zhuyuan Village were happy for Ye Shang and also overjoyed when learning that the fate of Zhuyuan Village was about to change.
“Ye Shang, we Zhuyuan Village are proud of you. If you don’t do well in the future, just come back.” Uncle Niu looked at Ye Shang and said.
Ye Shang could only keep nodding his head as everything he experienced in Zhuyuan Village was always in his memory.
When he was a child, he was naughty, but none of them yelled at him as every family gave him the warmth of family.
They kept drinking until midnight as Qing Ji and Yang Lei went to Ye Shang’s room to rest, Uncle Niu took Mo Chen to his house to rest, and Ye Shang went to Grandpa Gu’s room.
He then chatted with Grandpa Gu for more than 2 hours since Grandpa Gu wanted to know everything about him, and the conversation ended when Grandpa Gu fell asleep.
After waking up, Ye Shang first habitually practiced boxing in the yard.
When Qing Ji and Yang Lei got up, Ye Shang got some water from the well for them to freshen up.
“Sixth Sister, you see! Thirteenth is so considerate. Have you seen other younger brothers get us some water to freshen up?” Yang Lei said while washing her face.
“Ninth Sister, do I have the opportunity to do it for you?” Mo Chen showed up and he was completely different from he was yesterday as he no longer looked decadent.
“Even if you do it, it doesn’t make any difference between us.” Yang Lei squinted at Mo Chen and said disdainfully.
