I have a seven-colored lotus that can swallow the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, and stars

Ye Wentong looked at Ye Yunfan and said, "Yunfan, you have been reborn. Second uncle is also very pleased. Your father's spirit in heaven will also be happy to see your current ability."

After a long time, Ye Yunfan said, "Second uncle, I want to go to the ancestral temple to worship before leaving. I don't know when I will be back again after this trip."

Ye Wentong nodded and said, "It's rare that you have such filial piety. Second uncle will accompany you. By the way, you can also worship the ancestors of the Ye family and tell them that the descendants of the Ye family have made progress and can enter the Wuji Academy to practice."

Ye Yunfan took Mu Feiyao and followed Ye Wentong to the ancestral temple. The first thing they saw when they arrived at the ancestral temple was a plaque hanging on the red threshold. The plaque showed the two big characters of Ancestral Temple. The characters were painted with gold lacquer and faintly flashed with golden light.

Crossing the solid wood threshold and entering the interior of the ancestral hall, Ye Yunfan saw countless spirit tablets enshrined on it layer by layer, and each one was signed.

"Ye Wenyou!" Ye Yunfan quickly saw the name of the father of this body. Since he was using this body, he had to fulfill his filial duty.

Ye Yunfan first lit three incense sticks, then bowed three times to the tablet with the incense sticks, and then inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner. Mu Feiyao followed suit, bowed three times, lit three incense sticks and put them in the incense burner.

Ye Wentong came over, bowed to the ancestors of the Ye family, and said: "Ancestors of the Ye family, Ye Wentong, the current head of the Ye family, bows to the ancestors of the Ye family. I have good news for you. A good man has appeared in my Ye family. His name is Ye Yunfan. He is the child of my eldest brother Ye Wenyou. Ye Yunfan was successfully selected into the Wuji Academy and won glory for our Ye family."

Ye Wentong was a little excited when he told the story. Ye Yunfan stepped forward and patted him, signaling him to calm down.

Ye Yunfan said: "Uncle, do you know about my mother? Is she alive or dead now?"

Ye Wentong heard Ye Yunfan's question, recalled for a moment, and said to him: "I don't know whether your mother is alive or dead now, but I can tell you that when your mother was taken away, although the person was very powerful, he did not hurt your mother, but just took her away from the Ye family by force."

"Uncle, do you know who it was?"

Ye Wentong shook his head and said: "I don't know this, but the person who came has extremely powerful cultivation, which is not comparable to the people of our Tianyang City."

"Then according to Uncle, my mother's identity is not ordinary?" Ye Yunfan asked.

"Yes! I don't know the details of how your mother and your father met, but I know a little bit. It seems that your father happened to save your injured mother when he was out, so the two met and fell in love." Ye Wentong recalled: "The man who came to take your mother away later, I guess it should be your mother's clan, or even your mother's eldest brother, because I heard your mother from a distance at that time, it seemed that she called him eldest brother and asked him not to hurt our Ye family." "Hurt the Ye family?" Ye Yunfan said puzzledly. "Yes, at that time, the man came here, aggressively, ready to kill all of our Ye family, so that no one would know that your mother got married here. But your mother disagreed, begged hard, and threatened to die. In the end, the man reluctantly agreed and took your mother away." Ye Wentong said at this time, and he also had a feeling of surviving a disaster. "It is conceivable that the man should have really had the intention to kill at that time. If my mother hadn't sacrificed herself to save the Ye family, it is estimated that everyone would have been wiped out," Ye Yunfan guessed secretly. "Uncle, what's my mother's name? I remember asking my father before, but he never wanted to tell me." Ye Yunfan looked at Ye Wentong and asked.

"This... I can't tell you!" Ye Wentong was a little embarrassed.

"Uncle, why can't you tell me? I can't even ask my mother's name?" Ye Yunfan looked at Ye Wentong strangely.

Ye Wentong said earnestly: "Yunfan, it's not that Uncle doesn't want to tell us, but because the man told us before he left that we should forget everything about your mother and not even mention her name to anyone."

"..."

"Uncle, then I won't ask my mother's name, I only ask her surname, is that okay?"

Ye Wentong hesitated again and again, and finally agreed to Ye Yunfan, saying: "Your mother's surname is very rare. I haven't heard of this surname in Nan Shenzhou. Her surname is 'Ji'"

"Surname Ji? Uncle, can you give me a portrait of my mother?"

"Yunfan, what do you want to do? You don't want to find your mother, do you? This is absolutely not allowed." Ye Wentong dissuaded.

Ye Yunfan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Uncle, am I that stupid? I just want to see what my mother looks like, what if I run into her someday?"

Ye Wentong couldn't get rid of him, and he knew there was no reason to refuse. It was a normal request for a child to want to see his mother, and he couldn't bear to refuse.

"Okay!" Ye Wentong pointed a finger into Ye Yunfan's brow, and engraved his mother's appearance into his mind.

Ye Yunfan looked at his mother's beautiful figure in his mind, and said unnaturally, "My mother is so beautiful? It's a pity that I haven't seen my mother since I can remember, alas!"

Ye Yunfan was a little emotional, and said, "Uncle, you go back, I'll just go for a walk, and I want to go to the back mountain to sweep my father's grave."

Ye Wentong's eyebrows tightened a little, knowing that Ye Yunfan wanted to be alone, so he didn't disturb him and went back alone, leaving Ye Yunfan and Mu Feiyao alone.

Mu Feiyao had not spoken just now, just listening quietly. She felt that Ye Yunfan's life experience was somewhat similar to hers. She didn't know who her mother was, and Ye Yunfan was the same.

After a long time, Mu Feiyao said with concern: "Husband, are you okay?"

Ye Yunfan shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, these things can't affect me. Let's go to the back mountain to sweep my father's tomb."

Mu Feiyao followed Ye Yunfan to the tomb in the back mountain. The tombstone was overgrown with weeds. It was obvious that no one had come to clean it for some time.

Ye Yunfan went forward to clear the weeds and clean up. But when Ye Yunfan's hand touched the tombstone, he suddenly frowned and said in his heart: "This... Is the tomb empty? Why can't I sense anything?"

Ye Yunfan's perception ability of Changsheng Jue is super strong, and he knows that he will not sense it wrong.

"If Ye Wenyou's body is not in the tombstone, is his body cremated into ashes?" Ye Yunfan guessed in his heart.

Mu Feiyao saw Ye Yunfan frowning, thinking that he was sad because he saw the tombstone and remembered his deceased father. So she came over to persuade him: "Husband, although your father is gone, you still have me by your side, don't be sad."

Ye Yunfan looked at the innocent Mu Feiyao, gave a gentle smile, and said: "I'm fine, it's almost time, let's go back." The two of them simply swept the tomb and returned to the Ye family.

The next day, Ye Yunfan asked Ye Wentong and Ye Qianyang in the study. Ye Yunfan said: "Second uncle, elder, I called you here today because I want to give you something before I leave."

Ye Wentong asked puzzledly: "Yunfan, what are you going to give us?" Ye Qianyang also looked over, a little confused.

Ye Yunfan smiled and said: "It's a good thing I accidentally got outside. I hope you can carry forward the Ye family." Ye Yunfan took out two pieces of letters and handed them to Ye Wentong, then turned around and took out another piece of letters and handed it to Ye Qianyang.

Ye Wentong took the letter and didn't understand what it meant, but as soon as he opened it, he was deeply shocked and said excitedly: "Yunfan, is this the martial arts you used in the competition? This should be more than a low-grade spiritual martial arts, right?"

Ye Yunfan explained: "Second uncle, this Dragon Step and Dragon Fist should be considered as top-grade spiritual martial arts. As long as you practice well, there will be no problem breaking through the Yuanling realm. If you practice properly, you will have no rivals in Tianyang City."

"You will have no rivals in Tianyang City!" "Boom! Boom! Boom!" This sentence hit Ye Wentong's heart. How much he longed for this day. Now Ye Yunfan gave him this opportunity. He couldn't calm down for a long time.

On the other side, Ye Qianyang was already dumbfounded when he saw the scroll, and said tremblingly: "This is the experience of refining weapons, it is too profound. At my current level, it is quite good to understand one percent. With this scroll, I will definitely be able to break through to the second-grade alchemist. Yunfan, you have given me a great gift."

Ye Yunfan said unconcernedly: "Grand Elder, you are the only alchemist in our Ye family. Passing this thing to you will also benefit the Ye family. Don't be polite."

Ye Qianyang and Ye Yunfan's grandfather are of the same generation. He has been in the Ye family for seventy or eighty years. His status is the highest after the head of the family. At this moment, he bowed to Ye Yunfan because he knew the value of this thing. It was too precious. It can be said that it was a bit of a waste to give it to him, a first-grade alchemist.

Ye Yunfan also knew this, but these things were precious to others, but not worth anything to him. He just wrote some of his experience in alchemy in the fairy world in it, but it was enough for a first- to sixth-grade alchemist to spend decades studying.

After delivering the things, Ye Yunfan was ready to leave. Before leaving, he said, "Second Uncle, Great Elder, Feiyao and I will go to the academy tomorrow. The Ye family will depend on you to protect it. We need to focus on guarding against the Zhang and Yang families. We can form an alliance with the city lord Li's family. I believe that the city lord Li will understand the way of checks and balances and will not let the two families become bigger."

Ye Wentong nodded and said, "Yunfan, you can go with peace of mind. Leave the Ye family to me. You can rest assured. I will not let the Zhang and Yang families bully our Ye family."

After the three chatted, Ye Yunfan returned to the house and prepared to practice on the last day to improve his cultivation.
