Chapter 105 – Farewell (1/2)

Chapter 105 – Farewell

Green Moon City, Ye mansion.

Ever since the city learned Master Yi’s new legacy apprentice was a Ye, the once quiet corner where the Ye mansion was located became one of the busiest parts of the town. There were thousands of visitors arriving on foot and by carriages everyday.

With the compensation they got from the Du family, Ling He Merchant Guild, and General Zhou Wu the Ye family was able to hire some powerful Warriors to help them recover. On top of that, they were now backed by Master Yi. They were slowly becoming powerful enough to rival the Big Three.

If more members of the family were able to become condensed prime Warriors, it wouldn’t be impossible for Ye family to grow into the most influential force in Green Moon City.

Although the Ye’s were thriving, the Patriarch was seldom seen smiling.

Ye Zhong was a gifted child. He actually had a greater chance of becoming a condensed prime Warrior than his uncles Ye Han, Ye Yi, and Ye Yu who were already peak ten-star Warriors.

With his talented grandchild still in a coma, and knowing that the chance he would never wake up was very high, the Patriarch could not get himself to smile right now even if things were looking up for the family. Master Yi’s men had already been sent to the cities close by, but they were not able to find anything despite their thorough search.

“Have they tried Ning City yet? It’s a bit far, but they are more likely to find Welkin Leaves in a major city than anywhere else!” Ye Zheng Qing asked the messenger.

“Yes, Master! I will head there after I visit Mount Yu Ying later this afternoon. I will make sure Master Yi sends his men there if he hasn’t already!” The man in black uniform replied.

“Get going then, what are you waiting for?!” The Ye Patriarch has not been himself recently. His patience was overshadowed by stress and restlessness.

As the Patriarch sent the messenger away, his sons and him saw an approaching runicle. “Speaking of the devil! Do you think he has good news for us?” Everyone close to the gate put what they were doing aside to welcome the surprise guest.

“That’s a runicle! Could it be Master Yi?”

“Granddad! Dad! I’m back!” Was heard as the runicle door opened, and Ye Wei leaped out running towards his family.

“Master Yi!” Everyone bowed and greeted as a scruffy looking man in a gray robe shortly followed.

After arriving at Master Yi’s place, Ye Wei immediately fetched him and rushed to the family mansion. As for Lin Zi Yan, there were some things she had to attend to so she couldn’t come along.

“We found Welkin Leaves!” Ye Wei exclaimed.

“Did Master Yi found it for us?” At first, the Ye’s were shocked, and they gazed at the Runemaster with undisguised reverence and grateful looks.

“Oh, can we not talk about that? The men I sent to Ning City were useless! Little Wei and Zi Yan beat them to it!” Master Yi laughed and shook his head.

Everyone turned their heads to Ye Wei and was even more shocked to hear what Master Yi said.

“Granddad, we’ll talk about this later. Let’s go to cousin Zhong’s room!” There was urgency in Ye Wei’s tone.

“We have the Welkin Leaves now so there is a great chance I will be able to wake him up. ” Master Yi smiled and patted Ye Wei trying to calm him down.

The group went directly through the courtyard into Ye Zhong’s room. Ye Zhong’s eyes were tightly shut, and his face was pale.

Master Yi stared at him for a while before he channeled his Qi. He then rose both his hands as his will-force and Qi rushed out. His fingers quickly whizzed through the air, and within moments, three hundred and sixty-six runes were floating over Ye Zhong.

“Forbidden Stance, Green Mizzle!”

A vast amount of Qi flowed through the runes lighting them up and turning the whole sequence green. This was a forbidden mid-level Myst stance. The formula for this stance was given to Master Yi by the Holy Conservatory when he passed the test to become a Runemaster.

Although it was only a mid-level Myst stance, its real value was no less than any high-level -one due to its practicality.

“Hand me the herbs!” The green light linked all three hundred and sixty-six runes together as the whole sequence vibrated. A screen of light grew upon the sequence, and the runes turned into a cloud shape.

Ye Wei gave Master Yi the Welkin Leaves right before the runic rain was about to fall. The Runemaster shredded the herb trimming it into small silvery pieces with his Qi.

Drops of silver green life energy rained down onto Ye Zhong. It fell onto his skin and was absorbed by his body and then flowed to his Sentient.

Under the nourishment of this silver green energy, the scars and cracks in Ye Zhong’s Sentient slowly started to mend. He made a mumbling sound, and his eyelids twitched as he moved for the first time in a week.

“Cousin Zhong!” Seeing this scene, Ye Wei tightly clenched his fist in excitement. Everyone eye’s in the room widened, and they looked at Ye Zhong unable to contain their exhilaration.

After being asleep for so long, he finally moved! There were signs of him waking up!

The green rain stopped, and the cloud disappeared.

“Ye Zhong’s Sentient has recovered. He should be fine, but…” Master Yi paused to check his pulse and continued, “He needs to rest in bed for a while longer until he regains his consciousness and body strength back.”

“Thank you! And sorry for the trouble!”

“Thank you, Master Yi!” All of the Ye’s cried tears of joy. They were glad their precious Zhong was out of danger.

After hearing what Master Yi said, Ye Wei also exhaled deeply. His eyes filled with tears, he finally felt at ease after a week of constant worries about his cousin.

“I will stay in the mansion to keep watch until he fully recovers; meanwhile, I can teach little Wei how to train and cultivate efficiently now that he is a Warrior!” Master Yi said as he decided. How quickly Ye Wei advanced to the Warrior level left one breathless. Even Master Yi could not help but admire his young legacy apprentice. He knew he had truly made the right decision in choosing Ye Wei. And now that he had become a Warrior that meant he could finally start down the long and winding path of a Runemaster; he could now learn and refine stances! Master Yi thought all this while still in shock from Ye Wei’s talent.

“What?! Little Wei is a Warrior?!” When Ye Zheng Qing and the rest heard the news, their faces turned from their previous reverence to astonishment; they felt like they were in a dream and didn’t dare believe the words Master Yi just said.
