Tang Feng smiled and started to make some excuses for what happened yesterday, “Aiya.. Zifeng…. It’s not like I didn’t want to help you yesterday but your second uncle is the one in charge when your father isn’t here. If I were to help you, I would have probably gotten punished as well.”
As a woman in a large clan, she wanted to reap the benefits and not make any trouble. Tang Feng wanted to preserve her position in the clan and would not easily jeopardize her place by helping Zifeng.
“Nonsense. I understand what you mean. And also, it’s pretty good here in the cellar. I don’t have to see their disgusting faces at all. At least I can get some peace and quiet here.
Ye Zifeng smiled and did not put anything that happened yesterday to mind.
“You’re pretty optimistic….” Tang Feng smiled and started to eat the cakes while chatting.
“To be honest, your second uncle probably locked you up because they didn’t want you to train in the sect…. From what I can see, they might be a bit afraid of you.”
Ye Zifeng was startled and laughed, “Scared of me? They’ve been calling me trash the entire time…. What’s there to be scared of? They’re overestimating me too much.”
“You being a trash is a thing of the past. You’ve changed so much recently. Maybe one day, when you get older, you’ll be able to surpass Ye Huichi and your older cousin Ye Hong. You might even become stronger than your second uncle as well! By then, the Ye clan will definitely be in your hands!” Tang Feng eyes shone brightly as she talked about Zifeng’s future.
Ye Zifeng looked deeply into Tang Feng’s eyes. He understood her meaning. Tang Feng was able to see his potential and thus stood by his side. When he becomes the next clan master, then Tang Feng, who was by his side, will also reap the benefits.
However, he didn’t mind that someone like Tang Feng was by his side. This was because they can use each other… At least until he loses all his value. But before that, Tang Feng will definitely help him in the shadows. Ye Zifeng knows his own potential better than anyone else and believes that Tang Feng will help him no matter what.
Wanting to be more clear with his intentions, Ye Zifeng calmly asked, “Madam Tang, did the Liu clan send any bad news over?”
Hearing this, Tang Feng was surprised. She knew that he wanted information and thus answered very quickly.
“There’s no news from the Liu family. I believe that they don’t want to make themselves lose face so they didn’t spread anything out. No outsiders know about the cancelling of the engagement.”
“Is that so?”
Tang Feng stopped for a bit but then continued, “This is not important. However there might be some news that might catch your interest. It’s about the Ashen Spirit Sect.”
“The Ashen Spirit Sect?” Ye Zifeng shook his head, “For any disciples under the fifth qi refining stage, they’re all children of rich parents who fool around in groups. It is best not to mention them at all.”
Tang Feng smiled, “Then how about I tell you this. Because the sect wants to encourage these troublesome disciples, they’ve put up missions in exchange for rewards. Some of these rewards include rare ingredients that you can’t buy in stores. Are you interested now.” She doesn’t know how much knowledge Ye Zifeng has in alchemy, but seeing that he can make a golden marrow pill, she placed her hopes in him by telling him this piece of news.
“This…. Possibly.” Hearing the words rare ingredients, Ye Zifeng became very excited. Due to the fact that he was a crazed alchemist in his past life, he is madly obsessed with rare ingredients.
In reality, the ingredients stores in Leizhou city were all too small in Ye Zifeng’s eyes. The ingredients that Ye Zifeng had wanted, the stores either lacked them or have very low quality stocks. These missions from the sect is a great opportunity for him to get some of the ingredients that he wanted.
Tang Feng continued to smile, “If you want some good missions, I can arrange them for you, but…..”
Ye Zifeng smiled back and retrieved a huang tier golden marrow pill from his sleeves.
The two understood each other and smiled……
