Chapter 44 – Legacy

The green rain was slowing, and the cloud of fog began to fade.

The Ye family was feeling fresh after ten minutes under Green Mizzle’s affect, wounds on their bodies vanished, and even the small cracks in their Sentients disappeared. The rejuvenated Ye’s started to regain consciousness and opened their eyes.

Although he was heavily injured compared to others, Ye Wei also slowly opened his eyes. Ye Zhong though was still unresponsive because his Sentient was far too damaged, to the point that it could not be repaired by even Master Yi’s stance.

Ye Zhong’s clothes were still shredded, but his body was now uninjured. What one could not see with the naked eye was his Sentient’s state. It was broken into pieces and covered in hideous scars.

To protect his dear cousin, Ye Zhong ignored his injuries from fighting Du Han Yue. Not only did he use White Tiger’s Assault when his body was in a terrible condition, but he also took a clean hit from Zhou Wu’s Ichor Palm for Ye Wei.

‘It was a miracle Ye Zhong managed to live after taking a hit from someone with such a vast cultivation advantage over himself. It’s worth mentioning that he was completely out of will-force and Qi.’ Ye Zheng Qing sighed.

“Cousin Zhong!”

Ye Wei’s eyes popped wide open the moment he regained full consciousness. He anxiously cast his eyes to where Ye Zhong was. His cousin protected him against the Ichor Palm with White Tiger’s Assault was his last memory before fainting.

It was almost like time unfroze when he woke up, and it was his reflex to check if his cousin was okay.

Seeing his cousin lying unconscious with his eyes closed, Ye Wei teared up and crawled towards Ye Zhong. He sat next to the selfless Warrior and guarded his motionless body.

“Ye Wei! Are you okay?” Ye Wei’s could not care about anyone other than Ye Zhong while Lin Zi Yan could not worry about anyone else but Ye Wei. She wasn’t completely calm until she actually saw Ye Wei open his eyes. She looked relieved and exhausted from the distress.

“Zi Yan, Master Yi…” Ye Wei looked around him. He saw that Master Yi and Lin Zi Yan stood next to him, further away Du Yuan Ming, Zhou Wu, and Dong Ho were bleeding and were on their knees. It wasn’t long until he figured out what happened.

“Thank you, Master Yi! Thanks for saving us!” Ye Wei said from the bottom of his heart and bowed politely.

He figured out the what and when, but the why was still a mystery. Master Yi declined Ye Wei’s request just a while ago.

‘Why did he…’

‘It’s already been proven… I won’t even be able to perform a stance. Zi Yan must have convinced him somehow… How much do I own her now.’

Oblivious to his actual capacity, Ye Wei was again opting to pathetic thoughts and couldn’t be more thankful to Lin Zi Yan for yet more help. Apart from that he was impressed by her influence, It’s hard even for influential figures to get an appointment with Master Yi, but not only did Zi Yan arranged the entry exam for him in a short notice now she got him to save his family and him.

‘Does she like me that much? How can I ever repay her?’ Ye Wei looked at Zi Yan, as she was looking at him nervously. Her pretty face showed nothing but concern over Ye Wei’s condition. Ye Wei’s heart melted because of this misunderstanding.

“I feel okay!” Ye Wei forcefully squeezed out a smile. His memories were slowly returning. He remembered how badly injured he was, thus realizing how far Master Yi went just to save him. ‘My torn Sentient, the broken bones, and muscles are now in perfect condition!’

“Master Yi, the Ye family is forever in your debt! We will never forget about this favor!” Ye Zheng Qing gathered up the family and bowed to the Runemaster. “If there is anything you can use manpower for, you can ask us anytime. We are three hundred strong, and ready to do anything you want us to!” The Ye Patriarch declared solemnly.
