1462 People of the Ye Clan; the Poor Dark Evil Spiri (2/2)

Ye Xiao twisted his lips.

'There he is… He won't be willing to give up. He talked like it is an act of apology, that he will accompany me because of his kind heart, but what truly does he want in his heart?'

Ye Xiao was having a headache now.

'With this guy around, I am like carrying a super powerful bomb that is going to explode for any word I say wrong. I have no idea when it will explode me to pieces.'

'Apparently, it is not an option to refuse him.'

'He has made up his mind to stay with me. I guess there is no way to get rid of him.'

Ye Xiao pretended to be overjoyed, and he said, ”That will be great! I was in an accident earlier, and my guards from my clan went away for it. Now I have lost sight of them. I was just worried about my safety, and then you showed up, Brother Dark! This is great!”

”Your guards from your clan?” The Dark Evil Spirit was surprised, so he asked, ”What is your name, brother?”

”I am Ye. Ye Xiao.” Ye Xiao pretended to be so sincere to the guy and said, ”Pleasure every night; laughter every night.”

”Hah hah hah hah…” The Dark Evil Spirit laughed loudly. He looked pretty straightforward but was having his secret thoughts in mind. 'Ye? I don't remember there is a Ye Clan in the Human Realm Upon Heavens. Well, but if he isn't from a great clan, why would Ling Wuxie make friends with him?'

He kept thinking about it for a while and then was suddenly enlightened. He was shocked. He totally lost words.

He thought of that name just like the captain in golden armor did, the name of a person who was from ancient time.

Ye Hongchen.

The story about Ye Hongchen was so famous. All high-level cultivators knew about the story. The Ye Clan, where Ye Hongchen was from had disappeared for a hundred thousand years, but the name Ye Hongchen was still like a taboo that nobody dared to speak of.

Destiny of a man was like the shadow of a tree. Ye Hongchen used to be as powerful as the five conquerors in the Human Realm Upon Heavens.

'Is the Ye Clan, which has gone for a long time, back to the Human Realm Upon Heavens now?'

The Dark Evil Spirit thought of it and started to tremble. He couldn't help murmuring and said, ”That's right… That's it… A hundred thousand years… It has been a hundred thousand years now… Good… Good… That was close…”

He couldn't help still feeling scared of what he might have done earlier.

”What?” Ye Xiao looked the man with confusion, pretended to be as innocent as a kid.

”Little brother, are you a member of the Ye Clan?” The Dark Evil Spirit didn't sound like talking from a higher position anymore. Instead, he was trying to be as cautious as possible.

'If this young man is truly a member of the Ye Clan, it makes sense that Ling Wuxie would give him the Golden Soul Tower. Of course, he would absolutely give him the best he has.'

”Yes, I am. My name is Ye, so I am from the Ye Clan. Am I not?” Ye Xiao nodded, speaking like a simple and honest man.

He was curious though. 'Is there really a Ye Clan that is extremely powerful in the Human Realm Upon Heavens? The fatty never mentioned it… Why?'

The Dark Evil Spirit's face turned green and blue, and he said, ”May I ask for where you live, little brother? If you allow me, I can accompany you back home.”

Ye Xiao looked upset and said, ”Brother Dark, that is really a problem. I have no idea where I live… Please don't laugh at me. I know it is ridiculous that somebody doesn't know where he lives… My families sent me out to be steeled in the martial world, and they didn't leave me any spare time. A few guards grabbed me and sent me up to the clouds directly. The next moment when I realized it, I was already out here…”

Then he pretended to be enthusiastic, ”I know it sounds a bit pretentious, but I am telling you the truth, brother. If you believe me, and if you want to be my friend, I will be glad to have you around for the journey later.”

The Dark Evil Spirit was surprised again. He thought, 'As it sounds to me, this kid seems to be lying… Well, after giving a second thought of what he said, it does make sense for a clan that had been a mystery in the world for a hundred thousand years… It sounds exactly like the Ye Clan.'

As he thought so, he felt like he had grabbed a hot potato in hand.

'If I go with this man for a while, many people will see me with him. If something happens to this guy later, the Ye Clan will definitely come to me. It is not going to be nice…'

Thinking about that, the Dark Evil Spirit was rather regretful.

'I should just go! I did leave!'

'Why did I come back? What was I thinking? What am I doing? Am I looking for troubles? I am definitely making troubles for myself!'

'The peacock is gone. I don't get to have my mount here. Why can't I just let this man go free?'

'Why would I come back? Now, this is great. I become somebody's guard. No! More like a babysitter!'

The Dark Evil Spirit regretted it so much when he was on the road. From far away, two men flew over.

”Oh, Dark Evil Spirit, I thought you are a loner. Home come you are with somebody today? Wait… Is that your son?”

”No… No, no, no.” The Dark Evil Spirit shook his head hard and looked bitter like he had eaten a lot of Chinese goldthreads.

'When somebody sees me, I will kill him if he is weak, and I will run away if he is powerful. Unluckily, I am seen by two men with big mouths, and I can't defeat them if they fight together. I don't think I can escape either. Besides, I have a big burden here, who are easily killed by anyone. One flick, he dies. He is more fragile than a glass vase. Maybe it won't bother this much if he isn't so annoyingly talkative…'

The Dark Evil Spirit had all rights to complain because Ye Xiao had been asking him all kinds of questions on the way!

Xiao Monarch was a man who was always content with things as they were. To put it in a more understandable way, he was a man who would resign himself to adversity. He figured since there was nothing he could do to change the fact, he should make good use of it to the utmost extent.

An experienced cultivator in the Human Realm Upon Heavens was right on his side, so he definitely was going to get as much information as he could from the man. It would be unacceptable for him if he didn't get anything for the mouthful of blood he spat out.

”Brother Dark, what are the different areas in the Human Realm Upon Heavens?”

”Brother Dark, what is the most powerful force in the Limitless Ocean?”

”Brother Dark, what are the different stages in the Human Realm Upon Heavens? How do I tell who is in what level and what stage?”

”Brother Dark, what are the treasures that are common in the market in the Human Realm Upon Heavens? What are the levels of the medical materials in this world?”

”Brother Dark, what are the levels of the spiritual beasts in the Human Realm Upon Heavens?”

”Brother Dark, I am broke… I am counting on you… I think we need some money for the trip…”

The Dark Evil Spirit felt like he was more miserable than a dead man.

He believed there was nobody in this world who could be more tragic than he was!

He had found himself a hot potato, and it was a curious hot potato, an extremely talkative hot potato!

What annoyed the Dark Evil Spirit most was that Ye Xiao actually knew nothing. 'How can you not know anything?'

As Ye Xiao asked him more and more questions, the man was more and more convinced.

He was sure that this young man Ye Xiao was definitely from the Ye Clan, which had disappeared for countless years!

Only people from a clan that had been missing for a hundred thousand years knew nothing about the current world.

He was more ignorant than a moron!

The questions Ye Xiao asked were all too easy. Even the ordinary people in the Human Realm Upon Heavens knew the answers. Those were common sense that everybody had to learn to live in this world.

However, the young lord did not know anything. He didn't have a clue of anything at all.

In fact, people who had just ascended to the Human Realm Upon Heavens didn't know anything either, but the Dark Evil Spirit didn't think of such possibility at all, because of the Golden Soul Tower.

It was impossible for a man who had just ascended to the Human Realm Upon Heavens to get the life treasure of the great Ling Wuxie! It was a sure thing!

The Dark Evil Spirit didn't really believe Ye Xiao at first, and he even wanted to kill Ye Xiao. After that, he wasn't quite sure about killing him and then believed Ye Xiao. In the end, he started to convince himself… Now he was so sure that this young man, Ye Xiao was from the Ye Clan, later generation of the great cultivator Ye Hongchen. It was beyond all doubts for him…

The change of minds was done in a short time. The Dark Evil Spirit was now a hundred percent sure of it.

Nobody could change his mind now, not even Ye Xiao, not even if Ye Xiao said, ”I just happen to be named Ye. I have no connection to the Ye Clan and Ye Hongchen. I am just a weak cultivator who has just ascended to this world! That's all!”

The Dark Evil Spirit would probably tell himself that the young lord Ye Xiao was intentionally trying to hide his real identity to stay low in this world. He might have thought, 'He actually pretended to be a normal cultivator who has just ascended to this world! What a cautious man! What a man of a great clan!'

The Dark Evil Spirit was totally done.

Ye Xiao, whose family name was Ye!

That meant he was from the Ye Clan!

He was definitely Ye Hongchen's later generation!

He was the later generation of the man who actually fought against the Sky King!
