Chapter 45 – It’s Not Fair

Contrary to the Ye family’s elated mood, Du Yuan Ming, Zhou Wu, and Dong Ho were feeling unsettled and frightened.

The Du Patriarch perniciously looked at the Ye camp. He was so close to getting rid of them, and now they were about to get away as if nothing happened. The feeling of being stopped one step away from eradicating a threat was like nothing else, especially when they were going to come back stronger, and be protected by someone like Master Yi!

Most of the Ye youngsters had now woken up. They didn’t think too much about Ye Zhong’s condition, as he had endured the most injuries. It was reasonable if he woke up last.

Master Yi was relieved the moment he learned Ye Wei was fine, but he was still curious about why Ye Zhong was not moving. He frowned and narrowed his eyes. A golden flash appeared in his eyes after which he then cast his penetrating gaze onto Ye Zhong, checking his Qi flow and body condition.

He stared at the motionless body for ten seconds, looking worried and mournful.

“This child was gifted, it’s such a shame…” He broke the silence after a thorough assessment. He shook his head resentfully and then a long, sad sigh followed.

Ye Zhong’s name was the first thing that left Ye Wei’s lips after he woke up. Master Yi could tell from his observations that the cousins occupied a large place in each other’s hearts. Due to that, he would do anything within his abilities to revive his apprentice’s cousin from his coma.

But, sadly, this was not the case. Without the aid of a Welkin Leaf, Ye Zhong might never again see the sun due to his shattered Sentient!

Getting ahold of the rare herb would be just the first step. It could wake him, but the chance of his Sentient completely recovering was less than ten percent.

Ye Wei’s heart dropped when he heard Master Yi’s sigh; he asked anxiously, “Master Yi, is my cousin okay?” He nervously clenched his fists while waiting for his master’s answer.

“Why is he not waking up?”

Ye Hai asked. The family was getting restless as they too heard the long sigh. Being a five star Warrior at the age of twenty-two, Ye Zhong was well on his way to overtake Ye Zheng Qing’s cultivation, and he was the most likely candidate to the patriarch’s position.

“This child’s Sentient is shattered; he won’t be waking up for the rest of his life.” Master Yi did not fabricate facts; he did not know how to.

Master Yi’s words struck the Ye’s like a bolt of lightning that sent shivers down the group’s spines. The patriarch and Ye Hai staggered and almost fell.

“But what do you mean? The Green Mizzle didn’t save him?!” Ye Hai couldn’t accept his son, the strongest youngster, and future of the Ye family was in a vegetative state.

“Shattered Sentient?” Master Yi voice echoed in Ye Wei’s head. “Won’t be waking up the rest of his life?” He was stupefied, standing still like a soulless being.

‘He did that for me… He was fighting an impossible fight against the general for me…’

With a bottomless sense of guilt stabbing at his heart, Ye Wei had severe chest pain. He could hardly breathe.

“Is there any other ways?” Ye Wei’s face showed determination, but his trembling voice told otherwise. He clenched his fist, and raised his head to look at Master Yi, “I will do anything for my cousin’s recovery, even if it means I have to go through hell.”

Inspired by Ye Wei’s stubbornness, Master Yi found the answer to the question. “If, a big if… If I can get ahold of some Welkin leaves, I should be able to restore his consciousness with a fancy stance. But that plant is extremely rare. With it, I will see what I can do!”

“Thanks, Master!” Ye Wei’s mood lightened slightly. ‘If master can’t find it, I will.’ He bowed to Master Yi again.
