Tianxian Road

Chapter 3

Twelve years later, in the core area of ​​Ye's family in Dan County, in a courtyard.

Compared with the adjoining courtyard, which is full of brocades and brocades everywhere, this courtyard is so ordinary that it is somewhat shabby—a few old plums are scattered in the courtyard, more than a dozen green bamboos are slanted, and a few stone tables are placed on one side. Apart from the stool, there are no other flowers, plants and buildings, and a large open space is exposed in the middle, which makes people feel against their will to praise "elegant".The furnishings in the room are also very rare, and they are all extremely ordinary objects.Don't say that everyone in the Ye family who loves luxury, even a slightly decent servant can use better furniture than this.

Judging from the furnishings alone, the owner of this courtyard seems to be quite depressed, and it is normal for the courtyard to be neglected and unattended, but this is not the case—the reason why there are so few people here is because

Its owner is powerful, has a high status in the family, and doesn't like pleasure, let alone being disturbed.

In the middle of the open space in the courtyard, Ye Yaoyao was wearing simple linen clothes, slowly punching.

Her movements were extremely slow, and at first glance, she didn't have the force and strength that boxing should have, but she was soft and light, without a trace of strength.

When she punches, her posture and manner are extremely graceful and moving, she doesn't seem to be practicing martial arts, but looks like she is dancing. When a layman sees it, they will only take it for granted with a contemptuous attitude and classify it as "fancy fists and embroidered legs".People who know how to do it will be shocked when they see it, because this set of boxing moves smoothly and smoothly, with indescribable mysterious meaning, every move seems to be stepping on a certain natural rhythm, in line with the way of heaven, but it is impossible to imitate.After all, the bones of ordinary people simply cannot be soft enough to perform these movements.

When the last grain of sand fell from the hourglass placed on the stone table, Ye Xinyao just stopped, took a handkerchief to wipe her forehead, and walked to the bathroom.I saw boiling hot potion burning in the huge wooden barrel, the blackness was mixed with a strange yellow-green color, it was truly terrifying and disgusting, but the smell it emitted was quite elegant and pleasant, it really had to be amazed.

The many maids present bowed and quietly retreated. Ye Xinyao stepped into the bucket and sat cross-legged.The temperature that ordinary people would burn to the point of rotten skin and flesh could not bring her the slightest scar. On the contrary, with such a high temperature, the medicinal power gradually penetrated into the flesh and bones.

After sitting still, Ye Yaoyao began to exercise silently, the inner breath spread to every corner of the body, using the power of the medicine to expel the impurities and dirt in the body, replenish the beneficial properties of the medicine, and balance the inner qi of all parts of the body.

About half an hour later, the temperature of the potion gradually cooled down, and the medicinal properties were exhausted. Ye Xinyao also felt that her senses were sharp and ethereal, and her six senses were slightly enhanced. She just heard a soft female voice from fifty feet away. "It's almost time, Haruyuki, why are you still in such a trance?"

Hearing that it was a maid named Chunyu who was speaking, Ye Xinyao couldn't help but pay attention.

Just now a set of Heavenly Demon dances, the body and soul are more closely combined, and the soul is further strengthened, so it is very beneficial to do this every day.But after all, Tianmo dance is an overbearing Buddhist method, which has a slight depletion on the bones and skin, and repairing it with inner breath will delay the nourishment of the soul, so Ye Xinyao didn't save the daily medicinal bath.But in this way, others will have enough excuses to push people to her, and she can't completely refuse.

Knowing that there are other masters behind the servants in her yard, and most of them came here to monitor her words and deeds, Ye Yaoyao didn't bother to take care of them, and she didn't want to spend a lot of effort and wit to get them back.As long as these people serve me well and don't have the intention of murdering, at most, send them away when they are practicing, and they are not allowed to peek. Anyway, it is the most common thing in the martial arts home. If she dares to peek, she has a legitimate reason hands on.These people are also obedient, they have never recruited her, they are quiet and obedient, they are attentive and thoughtful, if it wasn't for the fact that they came here today, Ye Xinyao almost forgot what they were here for.

Could it be that with the improvement of her cultivation base, some people finally couldn't bear it and wanted to use her as a sword?

After Chun Xue hesitated for a long time, Fang said softly, "Sister Chun Yu, are you sure you won't tell the girl about that?"

"You...you're crazy!" Chun Yu seemed to have hurriedly covered Chun Xue's mouth, and looked around, perhaps because she felt that Ye Xinyao's hearing was not strong enough to hear so far. Seeing that there was no one around, Fang lowered her voice and reprimanded her. Said, "Master Qiong stays at home and concentrates on cultivation. I don't know if this is a good thing. Why are you making trouble?"

"Yeah, but there's still a few days left until the Mid-Autumn Festival, and you know that those people are already jealous of Lord Joan, if, if..." Haruyuki's eyes were red with anxiety.

When Ye Yaoyao heard this, she became a little interested.

The two most important occasions for the Ye family in Tan County, where many children of the family must attend, are the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion and ancestor worship on New Year's Eve. Even if Ye Xinyao lives alone on weekdays, she must go out during these two days.What exactly happened that made these two maids or the people behind them conclude that that incident must have affected him?
If you're interested, you're interested, but Ye Yaoyao didn't mean to call them in to ask questions. After all, since the other party deliberately told her, it's impossible for them to stop.Sure enough, Chun Yu sighed, and said helplessly: "Who knew it would happen? Ye Nan was not worthy to be compared with Master Qiong, and his parents pretended to be deaf to Master Tao's hints, and wanted to rely on a marriage contract to cling to Master Qiong. Mr. Tao saw that the hint was useless, so he simply opened it up and said it, but he didn't know that the other party was so stubborn... The reason why the trouble was known to everyone, and it was impossible to ask the patriarch to rule. Who would have known that Ba Niangzi would be like this Confused, blatantly reprimanding Master Qiong for ungrateful for profit and taking the initiative to follow Ye Nan? This is all right, Ye Nan actually publicized, saying that he took the initiative to divorce Master Qiong, not that Master Qiong abandoned him, and that Master Qiong was cold and ruthless , not as gentle and pleasant as Ba Niangzi...it's really hateful!"

At first hearing the word "Ye Nan", Ye Xinyao hadn't thought of who the other party was. It wasn't until she heard the word "marriage contract" that she suddenly realized. The top man of the Ye family made a baby kiss.

For this so-called "fiancé", Ye Xinyao couldn't even remember what he looked like - the other party didn't pay attention to him when he was young, but when he grew up, on important occasions, due to his cultivation, the two of them were far apart in seating. I can't even see anyone. Looking back now, it's not surprising that I don't remember his appearance.However, Ye Yaoyao also had some premonitions about the divorce. After all, in the past few years, whenever she saw her elders and peers, or occasionally heard people talking about her, she would often hear "Miss Qiong is good at everything, but she didn't pick a good fiancé." "Isn't it? It's really embarrassing to be unable to break through the innate talent, even though there is no one in a million talents."And Ye Tao, Ye Yao's father in this life, often expressed regret when talking about his daughter's marriage contract.

Actually speaking, Ye Nan was also wronged. He is now nineteen, and his cultivation has reached the peak of the day after tomorrow. He is already considered a rare genius in this world. Ten out of ten is useless.

From Ye Yaoyao's point of view, being a blockbuster is easy to cause suspicion, and she has few resources, so she has been thriving since she practiced - six years of physical training, advanced to cultivate Qi, which is the so-called innate state.Then step by step, steadily and steadily: spend at least six hours a day to nourish the soul with the inner breath; practice diligently to strengthen the connection between the soul and the body;As a result, one's own inner energy becomes stronger, and the spiritual power surpasses many warriors. According to the warrior's point of view, it is a steady progress from the innate realm to the master, and then to the great master.

The senior members of the Ye family all regard Ye Xinyao as the family's hope, counting on her to shatter the void and return to the heavenly realm. It is best to use her excellent temperament and beauty to befriend a high-ranking immortal and bring the whole family back to the heavenly realm.Even if it can't be broken, it seems to them that women are strong and men are weak, and their wives are superior to their husbands. In their view, it is against the law of heaven, and many gossips must be spread.Ye Xinyao was strong, they didn't dare to provoke her, wouldn't Ye Nan, who hadn't been promoted to Xiantian, become the object of discussion?In addition, Ye Tao regretted his daughter's marriage, and intentionally fueled the flames, labeling Ye Nan as a "good-for-nothing". No one would dare to ridicule him in a strange way, and it's no wonder that Ye Nan's parents were so depressed that they refused to divorce the engagement. , and finally made trouble to the patriarch.

The patriarch knew that Ye Tao had moved his hands and feet, so he was the one at fault, but what could he do?Ye Tao has a lot of masters and powerful forces, so if he doesn't quit this marriage, he has to retire.Letting Ye Nan leave Dan County and travel around the world is the patriarch's compensation for him!You know, most of Ye's children are trapped in Dan County, and they have never been out in their entire lives!
After clarifying the cause and effect of the matter, Ye Xinyao lost interest - she didn't know who told her the news, whether she wanted her to be angry at the betrayal of her biological sister, or to hate Ye Nan's remarks, or to be ashamed The attitude of Ye Nan's parents?Anyway, no matter what, the other party has only one purpose, which is to shake her mind, hinder or even... harm her practice.

The other party's scheme was considered aboveboard, and it was just a matter of going with the flow, but the timing was so coincidental that Ye Xinyao felt that there was someone else in the Ye family of Tan County who knew that she would soon be able to step into the hustle and bustle. It's only during the out-of-body period that I come here, if it's the latter...

Thinking of this, Ye Xinyao smiled casually, not paying attention at all.

She dabbled in all kinds of miscellaneous studies in her previous life, but the only thing she really put her heart into studying was talismans and seals.Even if the breath is not easy to come by during the cultivation period, making talisman seals is far more difficult than during the out-of-body period. To be prepared, she also made more than a dozen finished products.If the other party wants to do something on the day she advances and leaves her body, so that she cannot reach a higher level for the rest of her life, it is a wrong calculation.
