"The Yun family is a good choice. Although the whole family is relatively young, it has strength that ordinary people cannot match."
"In addition, a young family also has the advantage of being young. The younger you are, the easier it is to learn and accept our rules, which saves you a lot of trouble."
Then the old master also said solemnly.
"If you are ready, remember to inform me, and I will bring the entire Ou family to support you."
"Thank you so much, master. I actually have one more thing to ask for today."
As soon as these words came out, the old patriarch felt that something was not right.
Because usually Chu Ye had never made so many requests, but the old patriarch still would not refuse him.
After all, it was too late for the old patriarch to appreciate Chu Ye, so he was very happy to be able to help Chu Ye.
"If you have anything to do, just tell me directly. As long as I can help you, I won't refuse."
Chu Ye saw that there was no one else around except Ou Jianing, so he boldly took out the herb.
"Old Master, this was dropped from Xia Jingming's head after my men accidentally killed him."
"I also took the opportunity to go to the Xia family's underground palace and got a glimpse of some secrets from the murals in the underground palace."
"But as for the real origin of this thing, I still have difficulty finding the source."
"I hope my old master can help me answer my questions."
After Chu Ye finished talking about the mural, the head of the family suddenly felt a little sad.
"I didn't expect that the legend that was circulated among lower-ranking families like us turned out to be true."
"Actually, to tell you the truth, the Ou family almost sent one of their descendants to be used as a living medicine cauldron."
The old master's voice gradually became melodious and deep, as if he was telling an old story that had passed a long time ago.
He told Chu Ye that in the past, in order to get the care of the upper-ranking families, the Guwu family, many families including the Ou family and the Xia family had scrambled to grab this kind of job.
They originally thought that they only needed to sacrifice a few descendants in order to achieve prosperity for the entire family.
As a result, when the trend started, the Ou family was not very lucky and lost several times.
In the end, the family owner gradually became indifferent to this kind of thing and was no longer so enthusiastic about it.
Later, as time went by, it was proved how correct the wrong choice was.
Because the younger generations who were sent there were basically deprived of all their cultivation qualifications.
Strictly speaking, this is the way for upper-class families to control the entire ancient martial arts world.
Only by constantly exploiting lower-ranking families can they never produce a peerless genius and lead the entire family to real prosperity.
When Chu Ye heard this, he gradually understood that this was actually about captivity.
Then the old master pointed at the herb in Chu Ye's hand and said.
"This is a spiritual grass, which contains very powerful true energy and aura, and is of great benefit to practitioners."
"Since you got it, treat it as your trophy and you can take it."
"I believe your cultivation will improve rapidly."
When Chu Ye heard this, he probably understood the meaning, but he did not take this suggestion immediately.
"Thank you, my old master, for helping me answer my questions. Is there anything else about the Guwu family?"
"I want to know more about it. After all, I think if the time is right, these guys will definitely come back to take revenge on me!"
After listening to Chu Ye's words, the old head of the family nodded without hesitation.
"That's natural. These Guwu families have developed a pampering character and habit over the years."
"If everything is suddenly disrupted by an unknown person like you, they will definitely feel that they are losing face."
"But there is one thing I want to remind you. If those Guwu families really want to deal with you, you will not be able to stop them no matter how hard you try with your current strength."
Seeing the serious expression on the old patriarch's face, Chu Ye also believed that the other party was definitely not lying.
He was just worried about the final result and couldn't help but sigh.
"Then what should I do now?
Is there no solution to this matter?"
"Not entirely. All I can do is contact the head of the Ouyang family to see if I can help you."
"As for whether the other party will listen to me, I can't guarantee it."
Chu Ye knew that when facing these arrogant Guwu family, the old head of the Ouyang family could only look familiar.
"Anyway, I still want to thank my old master. I really don't know who to go to except you."
After saying this, the old master also smiled slightly.
"Okay, listen to my words of advice young people."
"The soldiers will come to block the water and the earth will cover it up. Your excessive worries now will not help."
"Instead of worrying all day long, you should arrange everything around you from now on."
"This way, if there is an emergency, you won't be in a hurry."
This was a very pertinent suggestion. Chu Ye nodded seriously after hearing it.
"I understand my old master, then I will resign first."
"Go back first. If I have any news, I will contact you as soon as possible!"
After Chu Ye said goodbye to his old master, he sighed and returned to the study alone.
The old owner stood in front of the bookcase and twisted a hidden mechanism on it. The entire wall on the left opened a passage inward.
Then the old owner entered the passage and found a secret room here.
There is a very simple-looking formation on the floor of the secret room. Its form is somewhat similar to the teleportation formation used by Gong Xia Yixian before.
The old master took out a few talismans from the cabinet, lit them, and muttered something.
Soon a thick fog appeared over the formation, and a figure was reflected in it.
"Old man Ou?
What do you want from me?"
"Master Ouyang, I do have something to ask of you. Please forgive me for the harassment."
The old master was kneeling on the ground, looking very pious.
"Okay, there's no need to be so polite. If I didn't want to see you, I wouldn't be here."
"If you have anything to say, please tell me."
On this day, the old head of the family chatted with the head of the Ouyang family for a long time in the study room, but no one knew what the specific content was.
After Chu Ye returned, he immediately came to Shen Yixue's side.
Shen Yixue in the office was somewhat stunned when she saw Chu Ye, who had not appeared for a long time.
"Are you done with your work?"
Shen Yixue asked subconsciously, and Chu Ye nodded quickly.
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you in the first place."
"Actually, you don't have to force it, if you still have things of your own to do."
Seeing Shen Yixue looking so sensible, Chu Ye felt very distressed.
If I spend more time with Shen Yixue, Shen Yixue doesn't need to worry about everything by herself.
