Chapter 34: The Ye FamilyEarly the next morning, Ye Feng took Jin Ling and headed to the Ye Residence.This time, he still did not bring Yaoguang along, as Spirit Beasts should not roam freely in human cities.Furthermore, the Ye Residence was a medical family that paid close attention to hygiene, and leaving Yaoguang behind also took this consideration into account.Because of this, Yaoguang fussed at him for quite a while.In the end, Ye Feng placated her at the cost of a grand meal.Before leaving, Ye Feng left her with enough Spirit Beast meat and fruit to serve as her food for the day.The Ye Residence was very close to the Dugu Mansion, so Ye Feng found the location without much effort.The guards at the entrance clearly recognized Ye Feng and politely invited him to wait in a quiet room within the Ye Residence.Ye Feng was not in a hurry either. While sipping tea, he explained knowledge and experiences of the Spirit Master's world to Jin Ling.Before long, a beautiful blue-haired matron pushed the door open and entered. She possessed a cold and aloof aura, with a faint fragrance of herbs drifting from her body. Her cold and stunning appearance bore a slight resemblance to Ye Lingling.It seemed that this person was none other than the head of the Ye family and Ye Lingling's mother.Ye Feng wore a smile as he stood up and cupped his hands in greeting."Head Ye, I have long admired your great name. This is a token of respect I brought for you, please be sure to accept it."As he spoke, he flipped his right hand, and a jade box carved from white jade appeared on the table.Ye Qingyi pursed her lips in a light smile and calmly declined his gift."Little Brother Ye's reputation is like thunder to my ears. To this day, legends of the Immortal still circulate in the Great Spirit Arena.""There is no need for a meeting gift. I heard that you want to become a teacher at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. When the time comes, just help me take good care of that girl Lengleng."Ye Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that the head of the Ye family wanted to win him over, but he hated trouble and disliked owing favors."Head Ye, won't you even take a look at what is inside this jade box?"Ye Qingyi did not answer his question. She sat down opposite Ye Feng and brought up another matter."Does Little Brother Ye know about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"Ye Feng nodded. There were probably very few people across the entire continent who did not know of it. At the same time, he also guessed what the head of the Ye family wanted to say."The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, much like the Nine Heart Begonia of my Ye family, is a support-type Spirit. However, compared to them, my Ye family's situation is extremely difficult.""Support Spirit Masters lack powerful might to protect themselves and can only rely on the assistance of other Spirit Masters.""The descendants of our Ye family are not allowed to leave home until they break through to become a Spirit Ancestor.""Lengleng is an exception. She and Dugu Yan met in their youth and have been close companions for many years. Because of this, she receives care from His Excellency Dugu.""The disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School do not need to do so simply because they have two powerful sect-protecting Titled Douluos.""Therefore, I am well aware of the influence of a Titled Douluo. Our Ye family cannot compare to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; obtaining the protection of a single Titled Douluo is more than enough.""And you, Ye Feng, I believe you can reach that level.""Therefore, no matter what your gift is, even if it is a Spirit Bone, I will not accept it."As she spoke, Ye Qingyi pushed the jade box back, a trace of calculation flashing in her eyes. Having finally found a good seedling with a clean background, she was unwilling to let go.Ye Feng had a severe headache. He was not good at these scheming games. Before his transmigration, it was precisely because he was unwilling to deal with various worldly social matters that he became a forest ranger.Clinging to a last shred of wishful thinking, Ye Feng asked in a feeble tone:"Head Ye, are you so certain that I can become a Titled Douluo?"Ye Qingyi took a sip of tea and smiled lightly:"If I were the only one who favored you, I might still hesitate. But do you know that after you left two years ago, someone came looking for you? Do you know who he is?"Ye Feng's expression was blank. For the past two years, he had basically been wandering around, making him poorly informed.Ye Qingyi did not drag it out any longer and directly stated:"It is Ning Fengzhi. Although it was very secretive, I know that he came specifically to look for you. Putting aside Ning Fengzhi's strength, his vision is definitely top-notch.""Furthermore, you are not an ungrateful person, which can be seen from your unwillingness to owe favors.""Therefore, I am willing to bet the future of the Ye family on you. If you are willing, I can even betroth Lengleng to you."Ye Feng's mind went numb. He had not expected that Ning Fengzhi had looked for him, nor had he expected that a single trip to the Ye family would almost make him the family's son-in-law.He sorted out his thoughts, put on a serious expression, and said to Ye Qingyi:"Head Ye, thank you for your trust, but I have no intention of joining any faction. I only wish to live carefree on my own. Please, Ye..."Jin Ling tugged at the corner of Ye Feng's clothes, her watery big eyes staring fixedly at him."Does Master not want Linger anymore?"Seeing that Linger was about to cry, Ye Feng panicked and hurriedly comforted her:"I want you, of course I want you. When the time comes, Linger and I will be carefree together.""Linger does not care about being carefree, Linger only wants to be with Master."Ye Feng's dramatic change in attitude amused Ye Qingyi, causing her to cover her mouth and chuckle softly.Ye Feng rubbed Jin Ling's small head and sighed."Since Head Ye is unwilling to accept this gift, I promise here that once I successfully break through to Titled Douluo in the future, if there is a need and without affecting my principles, I can make a move for the Ye family once."Ye Qingyi knew when to stop while she was ahead and nodded in agreement. This matter should not be rushed, otherwise it would displease Ye Feng.Learning from Lengleng that Ye Feng would be living in Heaven Dou City for quite a long time, she had plenty of opportunities to build a good relationship with him.Ye Feng gave a light cough and got straight to the point."Head Ye, presumably Miss Ye Lingling has already told you about my disciple's problem."Ye Qingyi nodded slightly and took a sip of tea:"Lengleng did indeed tell me about the problem, but I have never encountered such a patient before."Ye Feng nodded. He had anticipated this long ago. Spirit Masters whose bodies mutated were extremely rare, and the possibility of such a mutation occurring among already scarce aristocratic descendants was even lower.As for commoner Spirit Masters experiencing mutations? It would be a wonder if they were not captured, let alone having the opportunity to see a doctor."However, the ancestors of my Ye family have records on treating such mutations."Then her delicate hand flipped downward, and three slightly aged, thread-bound books fell onto the table."These are the cases recorded by the ancestors of my Ye family. However, I advise you not to hold too much hope; there is only a single case of a completely cured patient, and the hope of treatment is slim."Ye Feng nodded and picked up the three ancient books as if they were treasures.He immediately began flipping through them. Ye Qingyi did not disturb him and quietly departed.Jin Ling sat to the side, obediently watching Ye Feng.Before long, the door was gently pushed open, and Ye Lingling entered the room. Jin Ling's attention was drawn over, but Ye Feng was so engrossed in reading that he did not notice her arrival.Ye Lingling glanced at Ye Feng without disturbing him, then turned her gaze to Jin Ling, waving her hand at her to signal her to come over.
