Chapter 25 – Ye Wei’s Talent

Ye Zheng Qing was left puzzled as the runicle flew away, and it was at this moment that he realised how little he knew about what his grandson was doing these days.

“Zhong, you know something about this little girl and what she has to do with little Wei?” Asked Ye Hai with a deep frown, Ye Zhong is usually not the kind of kid who hides information from his family.

Grandpa looked at him demandingly, the family longed for an explanation to their relationship.

“Actually little Wei has phenomenal soul sensitivity. His talent was discovered by one of his substitute teachers recently, and because of this his substitute teacher is going to introduce him to Master Yi to possibly become an apprentice Runemaster!” Under the intense social pressure, Ye Zhong felt a bit guilty for not being transparent and open as such he could no longer hide it. There was no point hiding it now either everyone knew Ye Wei was heading to Master Yi’s place. He missed his chance to tell the good news to the elders himself.

Ye Yi had always been a caring father and tried to be there for his son, so this news surprised him greatly and also shamed him a little. He felt like he did not know anything about his son!

Ye Yi was not the only person who looked surprised, the rest of the family was staring at Ye Zhong, speechless and struggling to believe what they just heard.

‘Every child in the Ye family deserves the same opportunities.’ This had always been Ye Zheng Qing’s motto; he always tried to be fair with attention and resource distribution no matter how limited they were. But there were too many children in the Ye family, and he had to compromise his values for the families new policies to protect their future first. So he end up focusing more time and resources on the kids who showed more talent.

Ye Wei grew up in the shadows of everyone else, outside of the attention of the family. The family expected nothing from him and his red Sentient, so Ye Wei got used to their uncaring attitudes. The family couldn’t imagine he grew so much and became the child who surpassed the expectations placed on them the most out of all of kids of the Yu family.

“A Runemaster with his Sentient?” Ye Wei wasn’t even expected to become a Warrior. “Nevermind the details, we could have a Runemaster in the family soon!” Ye Zheng Qing’s voice trembled, he could not describe in words how excited he was.

Ye Hai too was slightly ashamed: “I scolded him pretty hard the other night for not training hard enough… ” Why didn’t he just tell me he has been doing his best and actually achieved something incredible?

“Dad, it’s okay he’s a boy, but a mature one. Little Wei understands you just want what’s best for him!” Ye Zhong smiled, he was proud of who Ye Wei was becoming.

Ye Yi started to tear up, Joe Wan and him had gotten a few white hairs over the years worrying about Ye Wei’s talent. All the worry and bitterness just turned into hope and good wishes, they were relieved to hear that their son had a bright future ahead of him.

Ye Zheng Qing calmed down a little. Having a Runemaster in the family would help solve many problems the family was facing, not only can Ye Wei become the next patriarch, he could also be the key to the Ye family reaching new heights! He looked across at the Du camp with a clenched fist determined to protect his family and hold things together. Buying time for Ye Wei now was the most important task, everything would be fine once he was with Master Yi!

Du Yuan Ming stared at the the spirited Ye camp and he heard Master Yi’s name mentioned.

‘Ye Zheng Qing had already stamped the contract, when we crush them in this fight there will be no turning back, there is nothing Master Yi can do!’

“Master Yi was known for his weird temper and being a hermit who doesn’t interfere with personal disputes. He will not interrupt a mere fight, who cares about the Ye family anyway?”

He thought it was naive for the Ye family to put their faith in Master Yi, and their misplaced faith will be meaningless against Lu Feng’s plans to get ahold of their ancestral land.

“Brother Ye, the contestant from the Du family is already standing in the middle of the arena, how long will you keep us waiting? Are you scared?” Du Yuan Ming taunted, wanting to get this done with soon as possible.

Ye Zheng Qing frowned, the three strongest youngsters on their side were Ye Zhong, Ye Qiu, and Ye Yuan. And only Ye Zhong could match Du Xian Hong’s four stars. ‘It’s a shame we didn’t spend more time and resources on Ye Wei, he could be fighting for us today… Hope we will get through this for our families sake, our future, and I want to make it up to that boy!’
