Chapter 32: Conspiracy
“Young master, the entire Ye Mansion knows that you have a gentle, tolerant, and kind personality, not only to the Ye family, you even treat the servants as your brothers. Most of the time, the old master ignores the matters of the Ye family, so over the past few years, who handled the matters of the Ye family? It was you! But what has that small young master accomplished? Previously, all he did was lie on his bed and eat, even I looked down upon him, and he would’ve been better off having a clean death. At that time, the young master worked hard all the time to take care of him and the Ye family, and now that he has returned, he slapped the young master just because of a trifling matter, truly ungrateful… …”
“Shut up!” Ye Wu Yun angrily interrupted him, and afterwards, quickly glanced around, then whispered: “Little Wu, I know that you are angry about my injustice, but younger brother Wu Chen is the only scion of the Ye family after all, he will become the only master of the Ye family in the future, And I…… in the end, I’m nothing more than step father’s adopted son, and no matter what method I use or how much I work hard, I can’t change that fact. Otherwise, grandfather wouldn’t have told me to be patient with him when younger brother Wu Chen slapped me in the face. But after all, they are a family, and I…… I’m only a stranger AH! So, this is not strange and it is only natural.”
Ye Wu Yun shook his head and his mouth exposed a helpless and bitter smile, but he immediately erased it, and he smiled and said: “However, to have this kind of step grandfather and step father, I’m already very satisfied, they rescued my life, gave me a home, and now I have all of you as part of my family, even if I sacrifice my life, it still wouldn’t be enough to repay them, so what more of this little grievance.”
(TL Note: be careful not to confuse Ye Wu with Ye Wu Yun.)
Ye Wu felt a little sour and he felt wronged in place of the young master, the phrase “You are all my closest family” made his heart tremble. When he was apprehensive during the time when he was being hired as a servant by the Ye family, he had never been the subject of rumors among the servants and had never been insulted, oppressed, or even beaten and scolded, because he was a follower of the Young master. Ye Wu Yun wasn’t like an ordinary son of a noble which was overbearing, lazy, and bossy, but rather, he was very capable, calm, and good-natured, it was extremely rare to see him scold a servant, even if the servant made a mistake, he would show a smile to encourage them. During the times when they were taking a leave to visit their relatives, he would secretly send them several times more money to take home to their families. In his eyes, servants weren’t servants, but a part of his family instead. Ye Wu could always clearly remember that year in autumn, when the family went out to admire the full moon, Ye Wu Yun called and gathered all of the servants, and afterwards, they put a table and ate moon cakes, at that time, he didn’t know how many of the servants cried as they ate.(TL Note: Mid-autumn festival reference)
Ye Wu were convinced that he was the world’s best master, and that being able to follow the young master was the luckiest thing that happened in his life, so he gave him his complete loyalty and he would willingly follow him to the death. Previously, when he was outside the hall and he heard that Ye Wu Yun got slapped, he almost couldn’t help recklessly charging to his master and falling out with the small young master.
He firmly said: “Young master, you can rest assured, we all know who is better for us, who is better for the Ye family, and who is truly qualified to be the future master of the Ye family, if he bullies young master again, even if we lose our jobs, we still won’t stand by idly!”
“Nonsense!” Ye Wu Yun’s face sank, and he weakly waved his hand, saying: “Don’t talk about this matter again, just do your job well and don’t worry about other matters. If you offend younger brother Wu Chen, I won’t be able to save you. Little Wu, you still have a blind mother and a seriously ill younger brother at home, and they usually rely on you to support them. I know that you are just being good to me, but don’t be impulsive and accidentally harm your own family.”
Ye Wu felt painful in his heart, but he was unable to say a word. Even when the young master had suffered such a large injustice, he still remained concerned about his servants, he even perfectly knew about the situation of his family.
“Hey! I heard that the owner of the 37th store at the south of the city became seriously ill yesterday, they said that he wouldn’t make it, is there anyone there to take care of the arrangements?” Ye Wu Yun asked to change the topic, unexpectedly, he didn’t want to continue talking about their previous topic.
“Well, there isn’t, there’s only 3 people left over there.”
“Go and get… … never mind, I’ll go personally, I need to take care of a little matter at the south of the city. Little Wu, come and take me back in the morning to check the accounts.” After Ye Wu Yun finished explaining, he turned around and walked towards the door.
“Young master, your face……”
“hehe, it doesn’t matter.”
Ye Wu stayed for a little while, and afterwards, he returned to the small young master’s courtyard even though he still felt indignant.
…………………
In a dark room.
“How did it go? Humph! You don’t even need to reply, your face has already told me the answer. Damned thing! Give me an explanation!”
“Calm down master… … but, he definitely died that day, this is definitely true, no one had ever been able to escape once they got caught in that dreadful swamp, I even watched him sink before I left. This…… this servant is incompetent, please punish me master.”
“…… I heard that, he wore a sword deity’s ring on his left hand?”
“Yes master, you already know the original owner?”
“Humph! Never mind how I know. If that is truly the case, then it wouldn’t be strange, if it’s a sword deity, he could bring him back to life even if he was truly dead, and pulling him out of that swamp would be even easier. We can only say that this person is playing with fate.”
“Thank… … thank you for being lenient master. Please give me a month’s time, this servant will definitely manage it well.”
“Don’t do anything. Since he became a sword deity’s disciple, if we touch him again, it’s very likely that the sword deity will come out of obscurity, and if he investigates, how will we resist?”
“What? Could it be that even master is… … is also afraid of the sword deity?”
“Humph! You’re just a junior, how could you possibly know the extent of a sword deity’s power. He hasn’t appeared for nearly 20 years now, he must have definitely became even stronger, let alone me, even the Southern emperor sect and the Northern emperor sect would also never dare to provoke him rashly.”
“This is…… master, don’t tell me that we can only watch helplessly……”
“No! Although we can’t touch him, we can have others do it for us, in this way, he won’t be able to track us down even if he investigates. Humph! It’s only regretful that the servant girl from the Ye family didn’t use enough poison, if that baby had immediately died while he was still in his mother’s stomach, then we wouldn’t have such a complicated problem right now.”
“Master is wise!”
“Since he’s a sword deity’s disciple…… have you seen his strength?”
“Answering master’s question, there were no signs of energy undulations in his body. I had provoked him to slap me, and even under his anger, he still didn’t reveal any power, one can easily see that he probably doesn’t possess any strength, and moreover, he’s easy to anger, he’s impatient, he shows his joy and anger on his face, and he doesn’t have any subtlety, it will be easy to break his mind, so he should be easy to deal with.”
“…… it seems like, he might really be just a wind sorcerer.”
“Wind sorcerer?”
“That’s right, he had previously used a low-level wind magic, I didn’t expect that this sickly garbage would actually possess a rare magic constitution, it gave me a surprise .”
“But how can a sword deity’s disciple be a sorcerer? It doesn’t make any sense.”
“We can’t reach a conclusion for now, you’ll need to keep observing him before we can discuss this again. Return back early, if you stay for too long, it’ll be easy for us to meet with suspicions.”
“Yes, excuse this servant.”
Err should I feel honoured or depressed? Hmmm find out at the end of the joke muhahaha………… ………… This caught me off guard <.< cause now I feel like making a Lord of the rings joke…. Well who cares zero the grey I may not pass here but I shall take you down with me and forever haunt you muhahaha.
Now that I got that out of me how about a cultivation joke? A king of a random world on a random plane just had triplets the wife a mortal died while given birth to first a son second a daughter and third (insert your gender here)
The king has high hopes for his first born because he was already born a immortal.
He spoiled his daughter because she was the spiting image of his dead wife
The third was special since you were killed your mom the king exiled you to a mortal plane to stay with mortals who didn't know about the path to immortality.
Now the first born became heir to the throne but was killed off by a cultivator from a higher plane.
The daughter was kidnapped because of her looks that could cause a girl to wonder about her sexuality.
You didn't know that your 'immortal' brother died when he was only 20 or that your older sister that you never knew was a forced concubine since 20.
No at the age of 20 you found the person of your dreams who you married at 21 and had 4 children who would each be born immortals and leave the nest to search for a way to prolong their parents mortal life.
You proceed to die a day after your soul mate your children never found you nor their aunt that they didn't know about it their moping grandfather. They died fighting for a pill that can increase in your life's….
Now is being a immortal all that it's cracked up to be? Or is being a ignorant mortal actually a blessing?
I didn't feel like writing a joke sense they come and they go some are funny to me but hated by others just like a Dao in any xianxia. In the end once you reach the end aren't you all alone? Just a bored lonely divine being?
That depends on you!
About me not passing I don't want to pass I'm happy where I am one page ahead. *sits patiently for this chapter* ??
Ps senpai always notices me *faints* now I don’t have to hang on his door >.<
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
bored?
Thanks for the chapter Zero11!
Thanks for the chapter. So his brother serves a master who poisoned and caused the illness of the “real” young master of the Ye clan. I wonder if he is of the opposing family clan that has been prospering of late. For trying to kill an unborn babe, they deserve a fate worse than death.
Thanks for the chapter. So the brother serves a master who had the “real” young master of the Ye family killed. He even had him poisoned while still in his mother’s womb. I wonder if he is from the opposing clan of the Ye family? For trying to kill an unborn child these people truly deserve the worst fate possible.
Thanks for the chapter^^
Wow that ungrateful orphan is the worst
I knew this “adopted son” of the Ye family will not be any good thing.
Well, in TDG this author made thesame thing with Ye Mo and your adopted son
Not the same author as TDG …
To think the scheming had last long..long before this..
The older brother is an extraordinary schemer
Maybe the way how Ye Wei met Ye Wuyun and accept him to be adopted son was also scheme they prepared beforehand…
