109. Trust (1)

As Ye Shi was calmer, Chen Da took out a piece of paper and handed it to Ye Shi.

Ye Shi said puzzledly, "What is this?"

"This is the receipt of the Mingyue Commercial Bank's vault. Your grandfather left something for your daddy, and it is kept in the Mingyue Commercial Bank in the imperial capital. For these things, Ye He and Ye Xun did everything to force your daddy to hand them out. If it were not for the pressure they gave your daddy, and your daddy would not have died so early."

Speaking of this, Chen Da's eyes were full of anger.

Ye Shi gritted his teeth and clenched his fist tightly.

"Your grandfather is powerful, but he has always been too kind to people." Chen Da sighed lightly.

Ye Shi bit his lip, lowered his head silently, and his eyes changed sharply.

Ye Xun was not his biological father. Even worse, he was the murderer who killed his daddy. If Ye Xun did something evil later, he would fight back.

"Ye He probably would not have thought that he would die at the hands of his most trusted son." Having said this, Chen Da said with happiness.

Ye Shi looked at Chen Da in astonishment and said, "Uncle Chen, you said grandpa, no, Ye He was killed by his son Ye?"

Chen Da nodded and said, "Yes, speaking of it, this matter is also related to your daddy. Ye Xun tried his best to please your daddy, and made a lot of money from your daddy. However, those things fell into Ye He's hands."

"Ye Xun's cultivation talent was average. In recent years, he progressed slower and slower and his problem against Ye He grew bigger and bigger. It happened that Ye He was eager for quick success in cultivation, and when he made a mistake, he gave Ye Xun a chance to take advantage of it. "

Ye Shi narrowed his eyes and said, "So?"

"So, Ye Xun poisoned Ye He." Chen Da said sarcastically.

Ye Xun focused so much attention on women, wishing that after Ye He was dead, he would take over the power alone, but he didn't consider whether he had enough ability to maintain the power.

"After Ye He was dead, Ye Xun has no much to gain." Ye Shi frowned.

Chen Da smiled wickedly and said, "That's right. Once Ye He died, the Ye family went from bad to worse. Ye Xun regretted it soon after, but recently, the situation in the Ye family has improved again."

"Why is this happening?" Ye Shi said in dissatisfaction.

"He took advantage of you. In any case, you are his son in name, and now you have been accepted as an apprentice by a martial king, so..." Chen Da did not continue.

Ye Shi had suffered a lot of grievances in the Ye family for so many years, but in the end, he had to be used by Ye Xun. Thinking of this, Chen Da felt resentful.

Ye Shi gritted his teeth and scolded, "This damn guy."

"Stop talking about the Ye family. How are you with Master Mu?" Chen Da looked at Ye Shi and asked gently.

Speaking of Mu Chen, Ye Shi's anger dissipated immediately, and a blush appeared on his face, "Mu Chen is very kind to me."

Chen Da looked at Ye Shi and couldn't help but exhort, "You never know a person. No matter how good Master Mu is to you, it is no harm to be careful."

Ye Shi said disapprovingly, "Mu Chen, unlike Ye Xun, he is sincere to me."

Chen Da said with disapproval, "Before Ye Xun revealed his true face, your daddy also thought that he was sincere. I don't really see through Young Master Mu. Perhaps, he is not as warm and harmless as he seems."

Ye Shi didn't say anything, but he felt disapproval in his heart. How could Ye Xun be compared with Mu Chen?

"I don't have anything that Mu Chen wants." Ye Shi said lightly.

Chen Da said disapprovingly, "You gave Mu Chen the Green Hell flame, right?"

Ye Shi shook his head and said, "No! Mu Chen found it himself."

Chen Da glared at Ye Shi angrily.

Ye Shi thought disapprovingly. It was true that Mu Chen found it by himself.

"Uncle Chen, why did you only tell me about the safe now?" Ye Shi said in a puzzled way.

Chen Da glanced at Ye Shi, "First of all, the things in the safe are for martial masters and martial spirits. You were not that powerful to use them before. Secondly, Ye Xun had not relaxed his surveillance over you all these years. After you went to City of Mo and went to work in a restaurant, he stopped suspecting you."

Ye Shi nodded, and said, "Is that so? Someone's been stalking me and watching me." Before he said that, he always had a feeling of being watched. In fact, this feeling had not disappeared now.

Saint Star Academy.

"That flaming talisman is really powerful. Tang Zhu'er spent 1.3 million at the auction house to buy a third-level flaming talisman, and she really refined the sun essence fire from it." A female student said.

"It's nice to have money!" Another girl couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, 1.3 million."

"Not everyone is so lucky to be born in such a rich family."

"Actually, it's better to find a good husband than having a rich family. Ye Shi has also refined the sun essence fire. Judging from the strength of Ye Shi's sun essence fire, he has at least fused twenty or thirty balls of sun essence fire. Mu Chen is generous to Ye Shi! Ye Shi is in charge of millions of elementary stones."

"Ye Shi has at least dozens of Flame Talismans in his hands. I heard from the senior sister who served Senior Jing, that Ye Shi fuses a Flaming Talisman whenever he wants to. Every time he refined the Flame Talismans, his strength will increase accordingly."

"Ye Shi is very lucky. Isn't Ye Rong one of Ye Shi's sister? Maybe she can help?"

"Are you kidding me? Ye Shi and Ye Rong are mortal enemies. If you ask for her help, Ye Shi may increase the price for you."

"Ye Shi and Zhuang Yu were enemies. After Ye Rong and Zhuang Yu fought against Ye Shi, Ye Shi must hate Ye Rong to the core."

"Ye Rong and Ye Shi were originally mortal enemies. They are half-brothers. I heard that Ye Rong's mother almost killed Ye Shi when Ye Shi was a child."

"Ye Rong is really shameless. Ye Shi is being nice not to pick on her. But she went to pick on Ye Shi."

"I guess it's because of poor family education. She comes from a small city and hasn't seen the big world. But she always thinks of herself as a princess."

 

............

Ye Rong sat there and ate quietly. There was no one around her.

The feeling of being isolated made Ye Rong extremely uncomfortable.

What's so great about Ye Shi? Why were so many people vying to please him? Ye Rong didn't understand why she ended up with this?

Thinking of her mother's reply to her, Ye Rong gritted her teeth unwillingly. Her mother actually told her to get along with Ye Shi, and even asked her to apologize to Ye Shi. When Ye Rong read the letter, she couldn't believe that this letter was written by her mother.

Ye Rong clenched her fist tightly. Ye Shi had hurt her so badly but she had to apologize to him. She wouldn't do such a thing.

Ye Rong pursed her lips and said secretly: Fortunately, my father still loves me. My father has already set off, and it shouldn't be long before he arrives. My father will defend me against Ye Shi.

110. Trust (2)

Zhuang Yu sat beside Lan Ruofeng and said lightly, "Ruofeng, don't you have any kind of fire yet?"

Lan Ruofeng nodded and said, "Yes."

After knowing that Mu Chen owed strange fire, Lan Ruofeng also wanted strange fire, but if it was easy to find, Xiong Wei would not have been searching for it for many years and found nothing.

"I heard that the fire talisman has a good effect, and the success rate of integrating the sun essence fire is very high." Zhuang Yu said thoughtfully.

Lan Ruofeng lowered his head, feeling so bad. He had always regarded Mu Chen as his opponent, and when he thought of using what Mu Chen created, Lan Ruofeng felt awkward.

Although the quality of the sun essence fire extracted from talisman was good, it was too weak and difficult to cultivate. It was not the best choice for Lan Ruofeng who was determined to become a master of craftsmanship.

The kind of fire that Mu Chen possessed was Green Hell flame. If Lan Ruofeng only possessed the sun essence fire, the gap between him and Mu Chen would grow bigger and bigger in the future.

Even worse, the flame talisman was expensive. He couldn't afford many of them. Thinking of giving money to Mu Chen, Lan Ruofeng felt so wrong.

"Ruofeng, are you all right?" Zhuang Yu looked at Lan Ruofeng and asked.

Lan Ruofeng shook his head and said, "I am okay."

Zhuang Yu held his chin and said thoughtfully, "I don't know where Mu Chen's strange fire came from. This guy is really lucky. He can actually get such a precious strange fire."

Lan Ruofeng lowered his head. Where did Mu Chen get the strange fire? It must have been sent by Ye Shi. Mu Chen must also know about Ye Shi's family background.

Ye Shi was taken advantage by Mu Chen.

............

 

"Master." As Hua Shu approached, Lan Ruofeng and Murong Yan called out respectfully at the same time.

Hua Shu looked at the two of them, feeling a little complicated.

Lan Ruofeng and Murong Yan were both four-star martial art masters now, and their performances were already outstanding enough. After all, the best performers among the previous freshmen were not as good as the two. However, this year was a bit special.

This year, not only were there two students with 8th-level qualifications, but also a talent named Mu Chen.

This year, all four Martial Kings had accepted apprentices. Although he had accepted two, compared with the other three, his students were not as good as the other three's.

Zhuang Yu and Ye Shi were both five-star martial art masters, and Mu Chen was even an eight-star.

Zhuang Yu and Ye Shi's aptitudes were stronger than the two he accepted. Although Mu Chen's aptitudes were worse than his two apprentice, he was much more powerful.

"You both work hard." Hua Shu said dejectedly.

"Yes." Lan Ruofeng and Murong Yan responded at the same time.

Lan Ruofeng couldn't help clenching his fists. Although Hua Shu didn't say anything big, the disappointment in his eyes couldn't be more obvious.

Lan Ruofeng gritted his teeth. Mu Chen was already an eight-star martial art master. Now, not only in alchemy, but also in cultivation level, he couldn't keep up with Mu Chen.

Thinking of Mu Chen, Lan Ruofeng couldn't help but feel a strong sense of frustration.

If the person who got the strange fire was him, then everything must be different.

According to the news from his daddy, Qu Kun seemed to have looked for Green Hell flame in his early years, and Green Hell flame was probably related to Ye Shi.

If he had not stayed at home to be with Zhuang Yu when he heard about Ye Shi's real father, but had gone directly back to City of Mo to find Ye Shi, then everything would have been different.

One mistake led to another. Now it was too late to do anything.

 

............

 

Regardless of Chen Da's warning, Ye Shi still told Mu Chen about the safe and his family background.

After listening to Ye Shi's narration, Mu Chen spent a while to process what he said.

"Mu Chen." Ye Shi whispered.

Mu Chen slowly regained his senses, looked at Ye Shi, and said, "Why are you telling me this? Aren't you afraid that I might want something from you?"

Ye Shi leaned on Mu Chen and said firmly, "I know, you won't hurt me."

Mu Chen combed Ye Shi's hair, "You shouldn't trust no one in this world except yourself. You are easy to trust people? How can I not worry about you?"

Ye Shi leaned on Mu Chen's shoulder, smiled, and said, "I only trust you that you won't hurt me, will you?"

Mu Chen smiled and took Ye Shi into his arms, "Of course I won't hurt you."

If he didn't show up, would Ye Shi tell Lan Ruofeng all this? Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and realized that he was jealous, but he didn't know what to be jealous of.

"How much do you know about your biological father?" Mu Chen pondered and asked.

Ye Shi shook his head and said, "Not much. He didn't get along with my daddy for a long time, and then he left. However, Uncle Chen said that he left a bronze medal."

"Bronze medal?" Mu Chen narrowed his eyes.

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes!" Ye Shi took a metal plate and handed it to Mu Chen. There was a character "Bai" on the metal plate.

Mu Chen frowned. Zhuang Yu's third official partner was named Bai, but he didn't know if he had anything to do with Mu Chen's biological father.

"Keep this thing well. It might be useful in the future." Mu Chen instructed.

Ye Shi said in disapproval,"It's not gold. How can it be useful?"

Mu Chen said helplessly, "Although it's not gold, it's not silver either. It should be a special metal."

"What kind of special metal? Is it valuable?" Ye Shi asked with wide eyes full of curiosity.

Mu Chen smiled helplessly, and said, "It should be very valuable. Keep it well, ok?"

Ye Shi immediately put away the metal plate carefully when heard that Mu Chen said it was valuable.

Looking at Ye Shi's appearance, Mu Chen couldn't help but laugh.
