Chapter 0006: The Inappropriate Father

The old man is so out of touch, yet his own wife seems to understand him very well. With five wives and concubines, not a single one speaks out. He leaves when he wants and returns whenever he pleases

The words were slow, but without a doubt, Wuniang immediately lowered her head and said

The term "San Niang" refers to Ye Jiangchuan's mother. Although she does not treat him well, she is still his mother, and outsiders must not insult her

Now it is different; with the ability to trace back to the source, one has the capital to care appropriately.

Ye Jiangchuan arrived but did not rashly knock on the door, as his father was surely still not awake; he waited outside.

Lady Wu said, "Alright, my lord"

Yes, my lord, I was wrong, and I will never dare to do so again

Tick, tick, the water droplets fall

Having spoken, he raised the letter

Wuniang, you must not say that next time

What should I do

The two individuals gazed at each other for a full several dozen breaths, and Ye Ruoshui nodded and said

You are no longer a fool, unable to live a peaceful life in the Ye family!

In fact, this household is managed by the matriarch of the family

After speaking, Ye Jiangchuan bowed.

Ye Ruoshui was taken aback by Ye Jiangchuan's action, and after a wry smile, she thought to herself that a fool is indeed a fool, not knowing what to say.

Radiating with a rosy glow, full of vitality, appearing quite cheerful

Silly child, what are you doing here

However, he has not been seen doing anything, and it can be said that he is receiving a salary without any work.

Ye Ruoshui did not respond, picked up the teacup, took a sip of the spiritual tea, and looked at Ye Jiangchuan, her eyes shining brightly.

Moreover, he spends less than a month at home throughout the year. After the New Year this time, he will disappear again, only returning for a few days when significant events such as spring plowing or autumn harvest occur at home

The matriarch is fair in her dealings, the family rules are strict, and the absence of the father is not an issue

Haha, I understand now, it must be like this

Wuniang hesitated for a moment, then brewed a cup of tea and reluctantly handed it over

I have been practicing the "Konoha Condensation Technique" for five years, yet I have made no progress, remaining at the second level of body refinement

Upon knocking on the door, it was Wuniang's personal maid, Chuntao, who opened it. She was quite surprised to find that Ye Jiangchuan was the first to arrive.

Under the guidance of Qiu Xing, Ye Jiangchuan entered the living room and sat there silently waiting

In the words spoken, there is not a trace of implying that Ye Jiangchuan is a fool

If you choose to change your cultivation, you will no longer enjoy the benefits of the clan. Upon reaching the age of eighteen or achieving the seventh level of body refinement, you must adhere to the clan rules and enlist in the military to follow orders, fighting for the human race

Are you aware that the mistress, whose head you broke in the large house, received news a year ago that due to her reckless advance, she has already perished at the hands of Li Qianhu? In the end, her body was never found and it is likely that it was consumed by the werewolves. It is considered inauspicious during the New Year, hence no mourning was held

Not a single one was born in these seven or eight years

After these words were spoken, Ye Ruoshui had not yet replied, but Wuniang shouted:

Chun Tao's voice was slightly hoarse, her steps were labored, her legs were somewhat misaligned at the hips, and her face bore a hint of redness.

These matters appear strange, yet strange they are; they are left hanging high, with a singular focus on gathering spiritual energy

This is indeed spiritual tea, one should not refuse it, no matter how hot it is, one must endure

Therefore, you must think carefully; once you take this letter, it will determine your entire life

The scalding tea, along with the tea leaves, was all swallowed down.

Ye Jiangchuan was speechless; in the end, his father remained so out of touch. The reason he called himself Little Seventeen was that he had long forgotten his own name

However, once it is gone, it can never return to the present again

At last, dawn broke, the lanterns were taken down, and the main gate was opened. Ye Jiangchuan waited for another quarter of an hour before finally going to pay a visit.

I kindly ask for your approval, esteemed father

He said slowly: "Father, I have something to discuss with you"

He was dressed in a white robe, with well-defined features and a handsome appearance, showing no signs of being nearly forty years old; he looked more like a charming young man in his late twenties.

Ye Jiangchuan greeted them, and Ye Ruoshui took a sip of tea, nodding and saying: "Bring a cup for Xiao Shiqi as well"

In the past, you were foolish, and one could bluntly call you a fool. Regardless, with my protection, when you reach the age of eighteen, you will not have to adhere to the clan rules, leave the Baiqiye family, and venture into the outside world to enlist and fight for your life.

Ye Jiangchuan sighed deeply, knowing that if servants engaged in illicit relations without marriage, they would be expelled from the Ye family, and in severe cases, even face the punishment of being put in a pig cage

Thank you, dear father

There are quite a few matters regarding this spring peach, not allowing the door to be opened, and within the words, there is a sense of disdain and contempt.

You are in luck, you foolish child, this is ice foam tea, specially requested for the master, not even one tael, this is a spiritual tea!

Ye Jiangchuan glanced at her, whether intentionally or not, and began to use his special ability, visible only to himself, as the tavern materialized amidst the surrounding illusions

This Fifth Lady, although she employs some petty tricks to vie for favor, is fundamentally not a bad person

Dear Father, I wish to exchange my cultivation inheritance; I want to practice the "Yishan Huanyue Technique"

In the past, there were no cards, and one could only feign ignorance. Now, with the ability to trace back to the source, there is no need to look back to the past, and some changes can be made.

With a glance, Ye Jiangchuan let out a long sigh, this one also had unsteady legs and walked with difficulty

Silly child, can you speak

Wuniang is indeed willing to make sacrifices in order to vie for favor

What else can be done? Cold mixed!

Therefore, I would like to change and revise the "Yishan Huanyue Jue"

Chun Tao let out a sharp scream and ran back into the courtyard

Dear Father, I wish to change my repairs

Neither hurried nor slow, extremely calm, steady and reliable, one could also say rather dull; this character has been formed over the years of playing the fool

After sitting down, Wuniang also appeared, handing over a cup of tea, gentle as water

Ye Ruoshui took the jade seal and wrote a letter, but did not give it to Ye Jiangchuan. Instead, she said solemnly:

Whose son is whose heartache, Ye Jiangchuan felt a warmth in his heart

Upon hearing the term "spiritual tea," Ye Jiangchuan's eyes lit up

Ye Jiangchuan rose suddenly to seek out his frugal father, Ye Ruoshui

Get up, I understand!

The voice is somewhat hoarse and heated

The spring peach is so obvious, with my own father and Fifth Lady, they really know how to have fun

Do not be afraid, he is a fool

You are to meet the master, what is your business...

Father, it is you who gave me my name, I am called Ye Jiangchuan

On the first day of the new year, we traced our origins; on the second day, we conducted research for a day. Now it is the third day of the new year, and Ye Jiangchuan has come out early, before dawn. The large red lantern, symbolizing his father's overnight stay, is lit in the courtyard of Wu Niang.

Yet, inexplicably, a sense of fear arose within me, an indescribable terror, causing my teeth to chatter uncontrollably. Suddenly, I felt a chill below, and to my astonishment, I was so frightened that I lost control of my bladder

A few days ago, that Ajiu was almost scared to the point of losing control, with tremendous power, forcing Ye Jiangchuan to feign madness and act foolishly, dissipating the strangeness

Ye Jiangchuan was previously very fascinated by this matter, but at that time he had no power at all, spending his days in a daze.

Then he said: "Father, I am leaving!"

Take this and go to the second room's scripture repository to exchange it for the secret manual

The words were slow, calm, yet firm, without a single deviation.

The words were spoken rapidly, carrying a hint of concern

No one has instigated from behind; it is my own decision

The "Mountain Moving and Peak Changing Technique" is a method for the inept; anyone who practices it will fall into madness. Do not be deceived, as it can lead to death

Old man, you really can do it!

Ye Ruoshui also frowned, and there were some who believed that it was that guy who was deceiving his foolish son

Ye Ruoshui smiled as she looked at Ye Jiangchuan, her eyes seemingly sparkling: "Speak!"

Suddenly, he thought for a moment and said, "By the way, Xiao Shiqi, what is your name after all?"

He looked at Wuniang and said, "Pass it down, from now on, no one in my third household is allowed to call my son a foolish child again"

In a large family with thirteen children, unlike in the countryside where one can call out to their parents with familiar terms, one can only address the father as "Sir".

Ye Jiangchuan let out a cold laugh, you impudent one, let my mother teach you a lesson

Ye Jiangchuan looked at Ye Ruoshui and said with unwavering determination

Foolish... Ah, Xiao Shiqi, this is the bastard who deceived you

I am here to see my father

He cast a glance at Wu Niang, and she immediately understood and went to fetch his jade seal

This is the experience he summarized; with such a gaze, in the past, anyone he looked at would break into a sweat

One can live in the Ye family for a lifetime, though simple-minded and foolish, yet carefree, with clothes to wear, food to eat, enjoying a life of comfort for eternity

I want to cultivate the "Yishan Huanyue Method"

"Did your mother send you to ask me if I am going to her place tonight?"

He did not enter, but waited silently. After a while, another maid of Lady Wu, Qiu Xing, came out to greet Ye Jiangchuan

After carefully putting away the letter, Ye Jiangchuan picked up the teacup, took a sip of the spiritual tea, and then swallowed it all in one go, including the tea leaves.

Did San Niang send you here? Hehe, did she ask you to come and see the master?

You are a fool, come to find the master, so the master will not say anything to you, is San Niang afraid that the master will not go to her place tonight

Ye Jiangchuan looked back, unwaveringly resolute

Ye Ruoshui's expression darkened as she said, "What foolish child, Xiao Shiqi is Xiao Shiqi, he is my son"

However, he is the backbone of this family; without his monthly salary of two and a half spirit stones, the entire family would have starved to death long ago

With memories of a past life, Ye Jiangchuan feels quite fascinated by his father, Ye Ruoshui

A few years ago, Ye Ruoshui had a frenzied period of giving birth, resulting in thirteen children. It seems that after counting, she suddenly stopped having more children

Yet it does not fully manifest, existing in a state between reality and illusion, as he gazes at Chun Tao with his dual eyes

Ye Ruoshui looked at Ye Jiangchuan and said, "Seventeen, you wouldn't come to find me if there was nothing wrong. Is there something on your mind?"

A quarter of an hour later, Old Ye Ruoshui slowly walked out

Ye Ruoshui laughed heartily and said, "My son is indeed not a fool, I knew it, I knew it!"

When Chun Tao saw the gaze of Ye Jiangchuan, it seemed like a look that did not belong to this world, causing her heart to tremble, even though she was silently shouting in her heart:

Such a significant matter can only be addressed by seeking him out

What is even more peculiar is that the main house and several other houses do not harbor any resentment; instead, they exhibit an inexplicable respect towards him

Ye Jiangchuan smiled, reached out to pick up the letter, and said: "I am not a fool either!"

Seventeen, listen carefully!

Five wives and concubines, thirteen children, Ye Ruoshui is like a sowing machine, yet he has no affection for that wife, to the extent that he can be described as extremely indifferent, showing no concern for anyone.
