Yuan Xing opened the door and walked in with Yuan Bao one after another.
This is a small square with a large area, and the surrounding area seems extremely empty.
"Yuan Bao, look to see if there is anyone around." Yuan Xing, now a young man, said loudly.
"Okay, brother." Yuanbao, a girl with delicate appearance but closed eyes, nodded, took two steps forward, and stood quietly on the spot, her eyes still closed, but it seemed that she was not using her eyes, but
He was relying on something else to look around for something.
"There is no one, brother." About a minute later, Yuan Bao frowned slightly, shook his head and said to Yuan Xing.
"No one?" Yuan Xing wondered, "We were clearly informed to come here to apprentice, but why is there no one there? Is it a mistake?"
Yuan Bao smiled and said, "Then let's wait here, maybe our master hasn't come yet."
"I've been here a long time ago."
A voice suddenly appeared behind the two of them. The hair on Yuan Xing's body suddenly stood up, and he broke into a cold sweat. He grabbed Yuan Xing's hand and ran away.
"Don't move!" The voice shouted sharply, and Yuan Xing and Yuan Bao felt a chill on the back of their necks at the same time, and two extremely sharp daggers appeared on their necks.
A sense of fear and death suddenly surged into his heart, and even Yuan Bao, who had always been calm, felt extremely cold all over.
This is the closest they have ever been to death!
The two daggers placed on their necks were very stable, not shaking at all, but both Yuan Xing and Yuan Bao could feel the sharpness of the daggers from the pressing cold air.
With just a slight stroke, the two daggers could easily slit their necks and kill both of them!
The most frightening thing is that Yuan Xing and Yuan Bao have no idea when this person quietly touched them. Yuan Bao has obviously used her ability to detect the entire square, but this person still appears like a ghost.
Behind them!
"Who are you? Why are you ambushing Brother Ye's base!" Yuan Xing shouted loudly, while his eyes wandered around, trying to find the opponent's flaws and find the right opportunity to escape with Yuan Bao.
"Are you speaking loudly on purpose to attract the attention of people outside and look for opportunities to escape..." The voice smiled, with a hint of contempt in his tone, "Childish idea, if I were the enemy, you would have been dead by now.
Ten times."
"Are you the master we want to worship?" Yuan Bao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.
"Our master?" Yuan Xing, who had just seen through the other party's thoughts, was quite annoyed at first, but he suddenly reacted after hearing his sister's words.
The first sentence the other party spoke just now was clearly an answer to the two of them.
"Not yet." The voice said calmly, and gently retracted his arms. Only then did Yuan Xing Yuan Bao and Yuan Xing Yuan Bao feel the sharp touch on their necks disappear.
The blade that had stabbed their backs just now finally left their necks.
Only then did the two dare to turn their heads and look at the person behind them.
I saw that this person was petite and exquisite, wearing a black tight-fitting suit that tightly wrapped his body in it. He looked slightly hazy under the dim light of the underground square. His flowing black hair was windless, and his face was delicate. He turned out to be
A very beautiful young woman.
Yuanxing Yuanbao's worried heart suddenly relaxed. After all, the murderous intention released by the other party just now was not fake. For a moment, the two of them really felt that they would be killed by the other party's dagger.
"Hello, it was Brother Ye who informed us to come here to apprentice." Yuan Bao said to the other party respectfully.
"Hey! What's your name? Since you are our master that Brother Ye said, why are you pointing a knife at us?" Yuan Xing looked at the other party with dissatisfaction. What he couldn't accept the most was that the other party let him go at that moment.
My sister also suffered the same threat.
"Brother, why are you talking! You haven't apologized to the master yet!" Yuan Bao frowned and said in a clear voice.
"It's not necessary," the woman smiled softly, inserted the two daggers in her hands into a beautiful knife flower, inserted it into her waist and disappeared, and then said, "My name is Ye Ying, what did Ye Nan ask you to learn from me?
"
"Ye Ying... your surname is also Ye?" Yuan Bao was slightly startled, then shook his head and said, "Brother Ye didn't tell us to learn anything from you, he just said let us come here to find someone, and that person will be our master.
.”
"Ye Ying, what's your relationship with Brother Ye?" Yuan Xing shouted to Ye Ying.
"Don't get me wrong, although Ye Nan and I are both surnamed Ye, we are not related," Ye Ying said calmly, "Stop talking nonsense. Since Ye Nan hasn't told you anything, I will explain the situation later.
, now you need to pass my test to become my disciple, otherwise leave here."
"What test?" Yuanbao asked subconsciously.
"You should have learned martial arts from Ye Nan, right?" Ye Ying's voice was clear, "I heard Ye Nan mention you. Isn't it your special ability that you just used to detect me?"
"Yes, I can 'see' everything within a hundred meters around me." Yuan Bao nodded obediently and admitted.
"You have good abilities. There are very few people with special abilities in the world, but your ability is of no use to me." Ye Ying slowly opened his posture and said to Yuan Xing Yuan Bao and Yuan Xing Yuan Bao, "Use Ye
Whatever Nan teaches you, feel free to attack me, this is my test."
"Arrogant!" Yuan Xing raised the corners of his mouth, pulled Yuan Bao back two steps, and said with an arrogant smile, "Although I don't want to be your apprentice, since it is Brother Ye's request, I can't leave easily. Just wait and see!"
After saying that, he suddenly clenched his fist and rushed towards Ye Ying with a surge of momentum.
"Brother, be careful!" Yuan Bao thought with a thought. Although the opponent's size did not seem to have strong oppressive power, his skills were really weird. Yuan Xing was too reckless to rush over like this.
.
Sure enough, as soon as Yuan Bao finished speaking, Yuan Xing rushed to the opponent quickly,
I saw that Ye Ying's body swayed quickly, and he dodged the punch that Yuan Xing was facing. Then he pulled out the dagger and struck Yuan Xing's armpit with the dagger handle very quickly, and Yuan Xing knelt down.
He fell to the ground.
"Brother!" Yuan Bao shouted, and immediately covered his face speechlessly. This guy didn't listen to himself at all, and he was knocked down as soon as he met him. It was really embarrassing.
"You are brave enough, but you don't know how to save any strength. In a real fight, you will die the fastest." Ye Ying commented calmly, then slowly stood up and looked at Yuan Bao.
Yuan Bao just looked at Ye Ying warily from a distance. Not only did he not rush forward recklessly like Yuan Xing, but he quickly moved back a few steps to distance himself from Ye Ying.
"Keep the distance. It's a wise choice. Are you not going to take the initiative to attack..." Ye Ying nodded lightly, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He stepped on his foot and shot towards Yuanbao like a sharp arrow.
And go.
Yuan Bao's eyes were closed tightly, but with her ability, it did not affect her vision at all, and she could even see things more clearly than ordinary people.
She quickly pulled out a short stick from behind, pulled it with both hands, and the short stick stretched to 1.3 meters. Then she shouted loudly, and swept the stick in her hand towards Ye Ying!
"Ye Nan's stick technique... how much have you learned?" Ye Ying had a smile on his lips, his body suddenly spun, and he quickly dodged out from the cracks of the stick,
However, Yuan Bao did not intend to stop attacking. The stick flew in his hand and was used in a slamming manner. The stick, which was neither long nor short, was full of momentum, like a wild dragon.
However, Ye Ying was not in a hurry, and just turned his body slightly to get out of the way of the stick. Then Yuan Bao felt a slight numbness in his armpits, and his body fell to the ground involuntarily.
…
A moment later, Yuan Xing stood up from the ground with a start and looked at Ye Ying with a look of dissatisfaction.
At this time, Ye Ying was sitting cross-legged on the steps in front, looking at Yuan Xing and Yuan Bao with a scrutinizing look on his face.
"Brother, we lost." Yuanbao had recovered a long time ago and shouted while sitting not far away.
"Hmph! She attacked us secretly, but she couldn't beat us in a head-on confrontation!" Yuan Xing said unconvinced.
"She was the one who defeated us in a head-on confrontation. It was because we were too weak." Yuan Bao shook his head, with a slightly annoyed look in his eyes. She was annoyed that the two of them had not learned what Ye Nan taught well, even though eldest brother Ye was so powerful.
"If I were to give you a score," Ye Ying suddenly said and pointed at Yuan Xing, "you, at most, would get 10 points, and the full score would be 100 points."
"Hmph!" Although Yuan Xing was dissatisfied, he had to admit that the other party was indeed much stronger than him, so he snorted angrily without refuting.
"As for you," Ye Ying pointed at Yuan Bao, "If you can score 60 points, you are qualified."
"But Ye Nan told me that you two will be together no matter where you go, so..." Ye Ying's tone suddenly choked, and he looked at Yuan Xing and sighed, "So I accepted both of you."
Hearing Ye Ying say this, both Yuan Xing and Yuan Bao breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Yuan Xing, although he doesn't like Ye Ying very much, has to admit that Ye Ying is indeed better than them.
The most important thing is that the person who asked them to become their apprentice was their most respected Brother Ye. If they failed to become their apprentice, they would be embarrassed to face Brother Ye when they went back.
"I've met the master." Yuan Bao quickly stood up, bowed and said to Ye Ying's luggage. After saying this, he waved to Yuan Xing who was standing aside.
"I've met the master..." Yuan Xing reluctantly stood up and saluted Ye Ying.
"It doesn't have to be like this," Ye Ying said softly as if he didn't see Yuan Xing's reluctance, "You don't need so many etiquette to learn from me. Since Ye Nan asked you to come, I will naturally teach you carefully.
How much you can learn depends on your talent."
"Master, we still don't know what Brother Ye asked us to learn from you. Please ask Master to clarify our doubts." Yuan Bao still stubbornly asked as a disciple.
This time, even Yuan Xing looked over with curiosity, and at the same time, he was thinking in his heart, could it be that Brother Ye wants us to learn her weird kung fu?
"If we want to make this clear, we have to start with Ye Nan," Ye Ying said silently, "Today, the Ye Nan family has a great business. It has established the Ye family from scratch in the capital, and has combined many established families in the capital.
I’m so depressed that I can’t even lift my head. Do you think it’s beautiful?”
"Of course it's beautiful," Yuan Xing said, "Brother Ye started from Zhonghai and went through many obstacles all the way to achieve what he is today. Although the Ye family has just been established, with Brother Ye's management, it will definitely become the most powerful family in the Dragon Kingdom.
!”
"But you only saw the scenery of the Ye family, but you didn't see the hidden dangers and crises of the Ye family." Ye Ying shook his head and said in a deep voice, "The reason why a family is called a family is that it has been passed down since ancient times.
, The Jiang family was very prosperous in the past, but Jiang Wenyao only had one daughter, Ye Nan’s fourth wife. If it weren’t for Ye Nan, the Jiang family would have been destroyed by other families. Where would it be that it is now the second-largest daughter in the capital?
The status of the Ye family,"
"These ancient families have their own pride. Even if they are competing with each other, they can unite and deal with the outside world in the face of external pressure. The Jiang family and the Ye family are the ones they fight against."
"But these families have been suppressed by Brother Ye for a long time," Yuan Xing asked doubtfully, "Can they still pose a threat to the Ye family?"
"This is the meaning of my existence... and the reason why Ye Nan sent you here," Ye Ying sighed, "The most important thing for a family and a company is inheritance, especially for a family like the Ye family that relies entirely on Ye
This is especially true for the family where Nan is the leader.
To put it harshly, if anything happens to Ye Nan today, the Ye family will collapse like a castle in the air. I don’t need me to explain this, you can understand it."
"But Brother Ye is extremely powerful!" Yuan Xing said proudly, "Brother Ye has faced countless assassinations and attacks along the way, but in the end, all those people and the masterminds behind the scenes were killed by Brother Ye!"
"That's because he is Ye Nan!" Ye Ying's voice suddenly raised three points, "But how many Ye Nan are there in the world?"
"You two have learned a lot of kung fu from Ye Nan, but how much of his skills have you learned? One percent? One thousandth?"
Ye Ying's voice was low, as if he was mocking, but not sarcastic.
"You two are powerful enough for ordinary people, right? But you are only mortals, just like me, but I can easily kill you, and even kill more people like you."
"Ye Nan can suppress those families, but he can't completely destroy them. Why? Because even if the Cheng family and the Wang family are destroyed, other families will emerge. Ye Nan is strong.
, but can he destroy all those who oppose him in the world?"
"Obviously, this is not possible."
When Yuan Xing and Yuan Bao heard this, their eyes showed surprise and they stopped talking. They just listened quietly to Ye Ying's narration.
"Ye Nan has married a total of four wives in his life. Now the eldest lady Xu Ming'er and the second lady Lin Qingzhu are pregnant. The Ye family will definitely be prosperous in the future, but this is not what those who are hostile to the Ye family want to see.
,
In the future, the Ye family will still face challenges, and even various assassinations and persecutions. Those people cannot kill Ye Nan, but they can threaten Ye Nan's wife and children!"
"And my existence is to prevent this from happening," Ye Ying's expression was indifferent, but there seemed to be a divine light in his eyes.
"What I am good at is all kinds of assassination techniques. Only those who know best about assassination know how to prevent assassination best. My name is Ye Ying. I am the first generation shadow of the Ye family. My duty is to be like a shadow.
Protect the Ye family as well."
"And you two are the ones who will replace me as the shadow of the Ye family in the future. This is why Ye Nan asked you to learn from me. The person who becomes the shadow must be the person closest to and most trusted by Ye Nan. You...
Do you have the confidence to do it?”
"Shadow..." Yuan Xing's eyes suddenly showed a trace of fire. He looked at Ye Ying eagerly, clenched his fists and said, "I didn't expect that the Ye family would face such great pressure. Brother Ye has been so kind to us. We must
I will not let down Brother Ye’s great trust.”
"Yeah!" Yuan Bao also said with a firm look on his face, "We will definitely study hard with you and protect Brother Ye's family!"
"Very good," Ye Ying nodded with satisfaction and stood up, "I will hand over all my lifelong learning to you. I hope you can complete this mission on my behalf in the future."
"Master, we have followed the master for many years, but why have we never seen you? Can you tell us the story of you and the master?" Yuan Bao suddenly asked curiously.
"The story of Ye Nan and me?" Ye Ying paused for a moment, then a look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes,
"Then it starts with an assassination incident. At that time, I was still an assassin, codenamed Starscream..."
