Chapter One, Twelve Young Leaves Grow

He groggily opened his eyes and saw an old man with gray hair and deep wrinkles

Hmph, the twelfth master is such a useless person that he cannot even withstand a single punch from the thirteenth master. Who can be blamed for that?

I seem to have collapsed from exhaustion while working overtime, due to the follow-up on a case

The physician shook his head and said, "Master Twelve, your constitution is quite weak. Here is a nourishing prescription I have prepared for you; remember to take the medicine."

Hiss

Hmph, do not be ungrateful. Although Ye Qing has struck you, I have also saved you with the Tianshan Snow Lotus. These two actions balance each other out, and you have actually benefited from it. After all, you will never taste the flavor of the Tianshan Snow Lotus in your lifetime. Remember this: when the master returns and asks questions, you should say that you wish to learn martial arts, and that Ye Qing was merely teaching you, without any intention to harm. If you dare to speak recklessly, see how I will deal with you.

Like his father, Lord Ye, the foremost expert of the Great Qin, a representative of the military, with more than half of the Great Qin's army under his command, he is undoubtedly second to none among thousands.

You wretched child, if you could just hold back your anger, would I need to bring out the Tianshan snow lotus?" The beautiful woman, feeling distressed, scolded fiercely.

In his ear, it seemed as if countless people were speaking, yet he could not hear them clearly, which made him feel extremely anxious

This is a secular dynasty, but it is also a world of infinite possibilities, featuring martial arts, fairies, monsters, sects, and noble families, among others

The old man saw Ye Sheng awaken, let out a long breath, and said: "The Twelve Young Masters are temporarily free from the threat of life; the efficacy of the Tianshan Snow Lotus is indeed powerful"

"You heartless one, that useless Twelve will be like this for the rest of his life. With so many people in this household, what is the harm in supporting him alone? Why do you have to provoke him? No matter how detestable he is, and regardless of his mother's poor background, he is still the master's child. If you kill him now, and this gets out, your reputation will be completely ruined." A beautiful woman scolded angrily, her pretty face filled with gloom. Why do you have to provoke him? No matter how detestable he is, and regardless of his mother's poor background, he is still the master's child. If you kill him now, and this gets out, your reputation will be completely ruined." A beautiful woman scolded angrily, her pretty face filled with gloom.

In the adjacent opulent courtyard, the young Thirteenth Master furrowed his brows deeply, his face filled with frustration: "This wretch is so fragile; with just a light punch from me, he ends up like this. Is it intentional?"

After the doctor left, a beautiful woman walked in, her enchanting eyes fixed on Ye Sheng, devoid of any emotion, and said: "When the master returns and asks about you, you know what to say, right?"

What is happening to me

Although the Twelfth Master is notoriously known within the residence, he is after all the child of a prince, inherently superior to you. Do you dare to speak like this? If the steward catches you, are you prepared to risk your life?

Will this Twelve Master be able to wake up

Ye nodded slightly, remaining silent; his mind was somewhat chaotic at the moment, as the situation seemed quite complex

Ye Sheng lay on the bed, blinked his eyes, this person should be his younger brother, he had awakened, why does he look so unhappy

The Great Qin Dynasty, the Ye Wang Mansion, the overlooked Twelfth Young Master, the arrogant Thirteenth Young Master, and a father, Ye Wangye, whom I have hardly seen.

Ye Sheng began to indulge in chaotic thoughts, his mind scattered. However, soon a pair of large hands pried his mouth open, and a cold, piercing liquid, yet brimming with vibrant life force, flowed in, making Ye Sheng acutely aware of his mouth. This was followed by sensations in his throat and stomach, and then a warmth radiated from his stomach, causing his entire body to cease its pain in a remarkably short time.

As soon as Ye Sheng thought, a piercing pain shot through him, causing his entire body to curl up.

The Ye Wangfu, illuminated brightly at night, gathered many household servants in a dilapidated small courtyard

Ye Sheng lay on the bed, feeling weak all over, his face turning serious: "It seems that they would rather I die, yet they cannot allow me to die just like that, because I was not accidentally injured, but rather hurt by that Thirteenth Young Master, Ye Qing."

In a daze, Ye Sheng only felt a pain throughout his body, as if he were being tormented in a raging fire

After a long while, Ye Sheng finally opened his eyes and understood everything

"This is the fundamental breakthrough of my innate abilities, and yet it was devoured by him just like that," said Master Shisan, filled with rage, gritting his teeth, wishing he could swallow Ye Sheng alive and skin him.

Ah, the Tianshan Snow Lotus, isn't that something I should take when I break through to the innate realm?" Thirteen said with a face full of reluctance

I have arranged for someone to fetch the Tianshan snow lotus, as this item can be life-saving. That wretched child should be able to survive. The beautiful woman looked at her son with a worried expression and couldn't help but sigh as she spoke

I do not know, the Thirteenth Master was too harsh; even if he cannot stand the Twelfth Master, it should not be like this

However, he is the least valued offspring within the Ye Wang residence, and the reason for this is his mother's questionable background

The Great Qin has established its nation for sixty years, governing by law and upholding filial piety in the family. Your father, being the renowned Lord Ye, a general in the army with immense power and numerous enemies, if this matter spreads, those literati who are dissatisfied with your father will likely rise up to impeach him, and you will be the first to bear the brunt. Even if my maternal family speaks on your behalf, you will still find it difficult to escape calamity. Therefore, the urgent priority is to ensure that this illegitimate child, Twelve, does not die. As long as he remains alive, even if just barely, the blame you face will be significantly reduced, for injuring your own brother and killing him are two entirely different matters. The beautiful woman’s eyes glinted with a cold light.

Ye looked around in confusion and blinked his eyes

The physician immediately grabbed him and said, "Thirteenth Master, you must not act on impulse. The Twelfth Young Master is in a very weak condition; even the Tianshan Snow Lotus can only sustain his life for a short while. If you strike him again, I will have no means to help him."

Upon hearing that Ye Sheng was no longer in critical condition, a wave of cheers erupted outside

What is going on now, is this hell?

Mother, you must help me. I know I was wrong. Please find a divine doctor to cure the Twelve, and I will no longer trouble him. Upon hearing this, Thirteen also became anxious, worried about his own future.

"Waste, remember this well, do not provoke me in the future, otherwise I have plenty of ways to make you disappear from this world." Master Shisan left these words, turned around, and walked away with a pale face

This Twelfth Master must not die; if he dies, the reputation of Thirteenth Master will be tarnished. Killing his own brother would leave him with no place to stand in the Great Qin. Even if he does not face severe punishment, his political future would be irrevocably severed

Hmph, the master is the best in the world, yet he is the greatest fool in the world, truly laughable

The servants were in heated discussion, all hoping that the Twelfth Master would not die, but their concern was not for the Twelfth Master himself, rather it was for the future of the Thirteenth Master

Ye Sheng felt deeply moved upon hearing this: "I never expected that I would actually travel through time. However, this family truly shares a profound bond. Despite my troubles, so many people are cheering for me, and they even brought the Tianshan Snow Lotus to save me; they are indeed my closest kin."

At that moment, a young man burst in, looking at Ye Sheng with a sullen face, his eyes filled with rage, fists clenched tightly, veins bulging.

Thirteen pouted, looking dejected, and inwardly resented Twelve: "Why are you so frail? With one punch, you would be seriously injured, but I never intended to kill you"

I am not at work, I should be staying up late to work overtime, how did it turn out like this
