“I’ve failed again. It seems like it’s not my day today. Let’s wait until tomorrow….” Using his fourth stage of qi refining qi to concoct pills was a bit too exhausting.
……
The second day, the third day… Each day passed very quickly until it was finally the night before the gathering.
“Xueyi, why isn’t Zifeng back yet?” Ye Chongtian was pacing back and forth in his private study. It was very late already and there was still no sign of Ye Zifeng.
Ye Xueyi thought about it and then nodded, “Oh yeah. In the sect, brother Zifeng told me that he might not return until the day of the gathering.”
“Hmph. That good for nothing. He probably went out to fool around again to take some pressure off himself!” Ye Chongtian cursed. However, deep down, he was worried for Ye Zifeng. He was afraid that something had happened to him.
“No way father. Didn’t you notice that Brother Zifeng is different from before? He doesn’t go out to play around anymore!” Ye Xueyi was very confident in her brother.
“This….. No matter what he’s doing, he should’ve came back tonight. The gathering is tomorrow!”
Ye Chongtian was very worried. His son had changed too much recently. This made him start to worry about his son even more now. Maybe Ye Zifeng can bring the Ye clan back to it’s former glory days. He didn’t want his son to be in some sort of accident before the big gathering.
At that time, Ye Zifeng’s voice could be heard coming from the gate.
“Father, did you hear that? Brother Zifeng’s back!” Ye Xueyi excitingly yelled out.
Ye Chongtian was finally relieved of his worries.
“It’s good that he came back. That’s good.” Ye Chongtian let out a long sigh. If Ye Zifeng didn’t come back, and he had to participate with two people, he would be the laughing stock of the entire city.
Ye Zifeng ran into the study with a happy look on his face, “I did it! I did it!”
Ye Xueyi and Ye Chongtian looked at the scene. They had never seen Ye Zifeng so excited before and wondered what had happened.
“Brother Zifeng, what happened? Why are you so happy?” Ye Xueyi asked.
When Ye Zifeng saw Ye Chongtian, he calmed down and suppressed his excitement. He pulled Xueyi’s hands and said, “Xueyi, come with me. I have something to give you!”
Ye Xueyi looked at her father. After getting Ye Chongtian’s approval, she followed Ye Zifeng and ran out.
“Brother Zifeng, what do you want to give me?” Ye Xueyi excitedly looked at Ye Zifeng.
Ye Zifeng was getting impatient, “Come Xueyi. Eat this pill. It’ll be useful for when you participate in the gathering tomorrow!”
