Volume 1 Chapter 81 Adding Fuel to the Fire

  As she watched Ye Yizhe put down his cup, Li Ruxue refilled it for him and also for herself. She followed Ye Yizhe's way and drained the cup in one gulp. The meaning behind this was only clear to the two of them.

  Two people exchanged a smile, as if they had found a kindred spirit. At this moment, Lian Ruxue walked to the window, opened the balcony door, carried a cup and went out, sitting in the chair beside Lian Xiaomiao, Ye Yizhe also followed her out.

  "What are you two talking about? You've been chatting for so long." Lian Xiao Miao said with a dissatisfied face as she saw the two of them come out.

  Yi Zhe Ye, who had expected her to ask that, directly ignored the gaze thrown by Lian Ruxue and started nibbling on the small pastry on the table. Seeing this, Lian Xiaomiao shifted her gaze towards Lian Ruxue.

  Lijiu Xue didn't expect Ye Yizhe to be so quick to kick her while she was down, and a hint of difficulty flashed across her face as she said: "Xiao Miao, do you really want to know?"

  Lai Xiao Miao let out a long, drawn-out "hmm", not because she was particularly curious, but simply because she knew that they had only just met and there wasn't much to talk about. She had been sunbathing alone here until the sun was almost setting.

  "Alright, I'll tell you then." Lü Ruxue said, not only did Lü Xiaomiao perk up her ears to listen, but Ye Yizhe also straightened his ears, wanting to hear what she would say. Anyway, he knew that she definitely wouldn't speak the truth, and he hadn't expected that there was anything that could be used to deceive Lü Xiaomiao. After all, he had a good understanding of both people and knew that they didn't have much in common. But just at this moment, Lü Ruxue threw over a hint of a smile, with a sinister tone that made him secretly exclaim "this is not good".

  As expected, Li Ru Xue continued to say: "Actually, this time I came to Jiangzhou ahead of schedule, there is a task. Your aunt previously told me repeatedly, must let me take a look at Ye Yi Zhe, the person who makes our Xiao Miao think day and night, test him, whether he has the qualifications to be the son-in-law of our Li family."

  Li Xiao's face turned red in an instant, and she lowered her head and said: "I don't have any thoughts of you day and night, you're all talking nonsense."

  "It's just that, I casually asked a few questions earlier and found out that Ye Yizhe is just an ordinary college student after all. He doesn't have anything special about him. It's really not worth your daydreaming. Compared to Chu Ci, he's far inferior." Lai Ruxue said as she gave Ye Yizhe a glance, the provocation in her eyes was evident, as if saying "Come on, bite me".

  "Ah?" Lixiaomiao heard this and immediately looked up, saying "He didn't perform that badly, did he?"

  Lü Ruxue burst out laughing and patted her head, saying: "I was just kidding you, he really lives up to being a disciple of Zhe Yang. If all young people were like him nowadays, then I think we wouldn't need to exist anymore."

  "Aunt..." Lian Xiao Miao said in a low voice, but she didn't dare to bring up the previous topic again, afraid of another embarrassing situation.

  As the sky gradually darkened, Li Ruxue stood up and invited: "Yezi, do you have anything else to do tonight? If not, I'll treat you to dinner."

  "I've disturbed you for an afternoon, I won't disturb you anymore, I have a dinner appointment tonight to discuss some matters." Ye Yizhe politely declined. Today's situation seemed like a happy ending, but it was actually a heart-pounding experience. If he hadn't made that last bold move, there wouldn't be the current outcome. Being a bit tougher, even more so, was very suitable for this occasion. He remembered his ruthless master once telling him that when dealing with a female powerhouse, one had to be even more overbearing than her.

  "Then I won't keep you here, wait for my sister to come, we'll have a chance to meet again."

  Ye Yizhe nodded.

  "Xiao Miao, why don't you stay at my place today? It's just right that tomorrow we can go pick up your little aunt together." Lian Ruxue turned her head and said to Lian Xiaomiao.

  Lì Xiǎo Miào murmured "uh-huh" and agreed.

  Ye Yizhe got up and bid farewell without any hesitation, refusing the two people's send-off. He hailed a taxi and waved goodbye to the two before leaving.

  Watching his disappearing back, Lijue Xue looked for a while before getting on the bus and leaving.

  She had a premonition that Jiangzhou, and even Huaxia, would undergo changes in the overall situation due to their conversation this time.

  If there really is a day like the one Ye Yizhe described, then what she gets will definitely be much more than what the Yi family can give her, and this is also an opportunity for her.

  However, Lei Ruxue did not know that Ye Yizhe's desire to deal with Longbang was indeed for personal gain. Gu Tianhe single-handedly resisted the four great masters of Longbang in the past, what kind of prestige he didn't know, but now that he can't find Gu Tianhe anywhere, if he also does it like Longbang did back then, would Gu Tianhe appear?

  Although this time may be long, Ye Yizhe doesn't lack the problem of time. Ten years, twenty years he can wait for it to happen. Moreover, he believes that since Gu Tianhe appeared because of the Longmen's rebellion against heaven and earth back then, if today he leads the Qingbang to rise again with a storm of blood and rain in the underground forces of Huaxia, then he will definitely appear too.

  The Green Gang was just a stepping stone for Li Hu, apart from helping him.

  ————

  Looking at the house in front of him, it was still the same as ten or so years ago, without any change. It had been a long time since he returned here, but he also didn't think that he would come back with this identity.

  Thinking of this, the middle-aged master who was wearing a cassock and had already made a name for himself in the highland province walked forward, knock, knock, knock, he knocked three times.

  The door was opened by an old woman, kind and gentle, with calm eyes.

  Looking at the familiar old woman with only her hair turned white, but everything else unchanged, the middle-aged master joined his hands together and respectfully shouted: "Master's wife, you're back."

  The old woman saw him and her face was somewhat displeased. She didn't give a good expression and said, "What are you doing here?"

  "I'll go take a look at Master and Mistress." The middle-aged master didn't think much of it, still showing the same respect, no matter how much time had passed, no matter what he had done, or what great achievements he had made. The old woman in front of him was someone he had always revered, this point would not change, he could be indifferent to everyone else, but he couldn't do that to her, she looked at him with the same eyes as a mother, watching him grow up slowly until today, although he knew that now he could no longer ask for her forgiveness.

  "Is your master and mistress here? How come I don't know?" The old woman was unusually aggressive, her words full of attack, anyone who knew her would be shocked speechless by her tone, this was not the usual her.

  "It's Sangteng." At this time, an old man's voice came from inside the house, with a bit of coughing, seemingly not in good health. "Let him come in."

  "This middle-aged master, named Sang Teng, didn't move at all, but looked at the old woman and said: 'One day as a teacher, lifelong as a father, I have never forgotten the teachings of my master, every word that my mistress has said is also remembered in my heart, often taken out for self-reflection. My mistress once said that people must often reflect on themselves, only then can they go higher. I've been doing it this way all along."

  The old woman hummed softly and walked into the house, with Sang Teng following closely behind.

  An old man lay in bed, wrapped in thick blankets. Sang Teng walked over and grasped his hand, saying: "Master, what's wrong?"

  "There's no need to pretend, Zhe Yang just has a cold." The old woman was none other than Kang Zhuo, who had been summoned back from Hokkaido by Ye Yizhe. It wasn't hard for the man named Sang Teng to learn his identity - he was Zhe Yang's eldest disciple, the new Living Buddha of Potala Palace, and the only one Tibetans believed in until the reincarnated soul boy was found.

  Dissatisfied, Kang Zhuo looked at Zhe Yang, who smiled and said: "Nothing, the weather has been a bit unpredictable lately, and my body is old and not very useful, so I'm getting sick easily."

  Sang Teng took out a box from his bosom and placed it in Zhe Yang's hand, saying: "This is the Tian Shan Snow Lotus. I brought it to help you, Master, supplement your body."

  "Ah, okay." Zhe Yang patted San Teng's hand and said, "It's only you who still remembers this old man. That little rascal Xiao Yezi went to Jiangzhou and didn't even bother to call me, probably off having fun somewhere again."

  Although it is said so, but the eyebrows are unable to conceal the doting love.

  Sang Teng saw it but didn't point it out, only smiling and saying: "Young Master is still very young, many things naturally can't be thought of that much, this isn't strange at all."

  "It's great to be young, it's great to be young." Zhe Yang let out a sigh and said, "If you're young, even if you break your leg, you don't have to lie down like this, so it's still great to be young."

  Sang Teng nodded and changed the subject, "By the way, Master, Little Brother said he wanted to find his roots, I wonder if he has any leads? Why did he go to Jiangzhou alone, why didn't he go somewhere else? Is there something special about Jiangzhou?"

  Kang Zhuo listened and immediately understood, looking at Zhe Yang, she knew that this was the real purpose of Sang Teng's trip.

  Zhe Yang shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. You know that when I picked him up back then, he didn't leave anything behind, it was as if he appeared out of thin air. Where would there be any clues? He's just been wandering around, trying his luck, hoping to run into something, but it's all just a coincidence. So many years have passed, and he should probably let go by now. As for going to Jiangzhou, that's only because Hu Zi is there. He wants to see his childhood friend again, take care of him like before. After Kang Zhuo left, the most important person in Hu Zi's heart was Yezi Ge."

  "It's been like this all along, I've also been helping to pay attention to the clues over the years, wanting to help my junior brother with this matter. However, Master has not made any progress in so many years, I suppose it's all in vain." Santeng said with a hint of self-mockery, "Since that's the case, then Master, you should rest more. I mainly came to see Master and Mistress, next time when Master is feeling better, I'll come visit again."

  "En, you go then, now that you've entered this place, things will naturally be much more numerous than before." Zhe Yang nodded and said.

  When Zhe Yang mentioned that place, a hint of unease flashed across Sang Teng's face, but it was fleeting. He stood up and bid farewell: "Then, Master, I'll take my leave."

  As he spoke, he left the room.

  After closing the door, Zhe Yang gently lifted the quilt and sat up, falling into deep thought.

  Kang Zhuo walked to the door and looked outside through the gap, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
