Chapter 4 – Red Soul Crystal

The person sitting in the forefront and most central position of the stage is a black clothed old man, his hair and beard was all white, with appearance/features suggesting extra-ordinariness and immortality.

His eyes swept over all the students, and said “Children I am the Vice Headmaster of Heavenly Star Academy, surnamed Xu, who is responsible for your test today. On each table there are seven red soul crystals, you have to sense these crystals with your mind. Numbers of crystals shining will determine the number you can sense, from this numbers we can determine your innate talent.”

“Children who can sense two red soul crystals are qualified to attend classes. However children who can sense three crystals have good talent, and children who can sense four crystals, although not genius but their talent is quite good, so children who are sensitive to three or more will have the opportunity to become personal disciples of Heavenly Star Academy’s most outstanding teachers. Every one of them is a powerhouse at 6th Heavenly Layer or above.”

“This is an opportunity which cannot be forced. If for some reason you are not able to sense required number, then you will be given a chance to further train with young teacher and try again next year with more experience.”

Although Vice Headmaster Xu’s voice not very loud, but it easily spread to everyone’s ear in the hall.

Everyone was anxious.

This test is quite important for their future. Although Vice-headmaster Xu told them that they will have opportunity to try again next year, however the talent most time is inborn. If they don’t have it this year to be successful then it’s highly unlikely that they will have it next year.

Every student was eagerly expecting the test after Vice-headmaster announcement. Young teacher (Teacher Chu Xian) who was leading them right now was at 4th Heavenly Layer cultivation, however each and every one of the instructor in stage was at 6th Heavenly Layer or above. If they can achieve guidance through them then it will be an enormous good fortune for them.

In Great Zou Empire, master and disciples have very strong bonds, just like father and sons. To be a disciple of a famous master will make their whole family happy.

“Ok, Chu Xian make them start” Vice-Headmaster Xu said lightly.

“Yes” Chu Xian bowed, and started arranging students in various tables.

Soon before each table a student is standing. In each table there are seven red soul crystals resting, each and every crystal is glittering and clear.

Students look at the crystals with vacant and anxious look.

“Place your hand, 2 inch above crystals, and be attentive to sense the crystals.”Teacher Chu Xian while sweeping his gaze on every students, said gently “No one needs to feels anxious, everything will happen naturally.”

Hearing Teacher Chu Xian words, every student has placed their hands above the crystals.

They are trying to sense the red soul crystals attentively.

In the first row, Liang Yu, An Xueyun as well as many other noble family sons and daughters are standing. Some people from this row quickly started sensing crystals.

Noble families have their own Red Soul Crystal, these young family members are allowed to experience it before the test. More than one student have quick responses with their first crystal because of it. A noble family youth even had quickly sensed three red soul crystals. The three Red souls Crystal which have started shining, have different colors, they are shining red, orange and yellow respectively.

After making three crystals shine, the noble youth proudly faced others while thinking; I have sensed three crystals which should be a good result.

Several of the old man above the stage, gave him the bow of recognition. In the last year classes there were only five or six students who achieved excellent results in year end, and every one of them had outstanding talent in the beginning. Therefore these old man’s loved the students of high potential.

Many students looked towards that youth with envy and jealousy. They redoubled their efforts to sense the crystals.

Liang Yu after witnessing this, with a ghost of smile, proudly placed his hand above the crystals, fingers spread, started concentrating on crystals, soon the first crystal started shining in red.

First crystal is always very easy to sense, and soon started shining a dazzling red. After a moment orange glow came from second and then yellow came from the third.

“Ho, even he have sensed three crystals”

“Really, fierce” Students standing in rear and waiting for their turn all looked with envy.

“Worthy of being the young master of Dark Moon Family, his talent is above than others”

As soon as the voice’s fell, fourth soul crystal had started shining, it was the color of pure green emerald.

“Heavens, Fourth!!”

On Vice-Headmaster Xu’s plain and strict face, a smile can be seen. Four crystals shining is definitely deserved to be called a talent to nurture. This type of talent can be found once in several years.

This year’s test could be called well after this result.

However Fifth soul crystal did not shone. Liang Yu breathed heavily several time, he can faintly sense the fifth crystal, but it’s not enough for it to shine. Linag Yu thought, even if it’s four, it’s enough.

Liang Yu looked around proudly, seeing every one exclaiming in surprise and envy; he couldn’t help but give a content look in his face.

Before An Xueyun there were seven students, soon everyone was tested.

So far the result had been, Four crystal sensing one, three crystal sensing has three, two crystal sensing has three.

Soon everyone’s eyes came to rest upon An Xueyun.

An Xueyun, manners were elegantly simple, with beautiful facial features, add a white skirt to perfectly outline her beautiful figure and light timber voice, was the goddess of numerous noble family’s young masters heart. Numerous youth wanted a opportunity to talk to her. The only one looking at her coldly was perhaps Liang Yu.

Liang Yu liked city lord’s daughter Xia Yuning. Xia Yuning and An Xueyun were Heavenly Ancestor city’s twin stars, both women’s beauty was outstanding; also their talent was simultaneously outstanding.

These two young girls, make entire Heavenly Ancestor City other youth feel inferior.

An xueyun without caring for other people gaze, stretched out her white pure arms and placed them above the seven crystals. She started to try to sense them.

First red soul crystal shone quickly, and then second and third.

Soon a glow of red, orange, yellow, green and blue could be seen. When fifth soul crystal shone all the spectators quickly sucked breath and didn’t even dare to breathe. Everyone was shocked watching those five glows.

Five Red Soul Crystals.

If a talent who can sense four crystals could only be found once in several years, then what about one who can sense five crystals.

Vice-Headmaster Xu’s countenance changed after seeing An Xueyun’s test results.

“The Eternal Heaven Family’s young lady is really extraordinary. Five crystals have shined for her; this type of talent can only be found once in a hundred years. People having this type of talent are really few.”

Heavenly Star – Chapter 47

Chapter 47 – Lin Xiao

Leng Ya remained expressionless, but his slightly narrowed brows showed that he was being cautious. Faced with the nearing flames, he couldn’t avoid them, so he held a short pitch-black sword and raised it lightning fast, he stabbed towards the man’s heart as he welcomed the flames, he had actually made a double-edged move, as if he were sworn enemies with this man even though they had just met.

Nangong Zhen was greatly shocked and he hurriedly stopped his hands, he began to retreat but he had already lost the deciding moment of the battle, Leng Ya sent wave after wave of sword lights and he was forced to retreat little by little.

“At a very young age, he actually already has strength of a rank 10 primary stage, and furthermore his Qi is also astonishing, who is this man……” Lin Yan softly muttered to himself. In his mind, the outcome of the match had already been decided, Nangong Zhen was truly a magic genius, he already had the strength of a rank 9 of the primary stage, however the energy undulating from his opponent was at the rank 10 of the primary stage, together with his powerful Qi, his strength was completely comparable to a rank 10 or even higher.

“Nevertheless, Xiao’er will never lose to him.”

“Rip”, a bone deep cut appeared on Nangong Zhen’s arm. Had he been a little bit late in retreating, his entire arm would have already been cut off. While he gasped, Leng Ya forced open the flames on his right hand in an instant, while clutching his left arm he said: “Sure enough, there is always someone better than someone, I admit defeat.”

He stepped down while clutching his left arm, his tone and demeanor weren’t the least bit sloppy, and his face also didn’t show any signs of dismay. Ye Wu Chen evaluated him: “He might become somebody in the future.”

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came out from the corner of the square, and a white silhouette soared through the air at the same time, the white shadow gracefully spun several times before floating down the stage as though it were a feather, the movements looked effortless and elegant.

His appearance made the surroundings immediately break into chaos, the arena became filled with the mixed cries of men and women, the shouts were so deafening that they even ignored the presence of the emperor. Even the straight-faced emperor showed a slight smile towards the extremely loved and legendary eldest son of the Lin family.

He was dressed in white and he was seven feet tall, he had a jade-like face and he had a gentle look, the corners of his mouth were raised into a smile as gentle as the clear sky, yet his appearance didn’t exude any arrogance, therefore he easily gave people a favorable impression.

“It’s finally Young master Lin’s performance.”

“Who can rival Young master Lin.”

“Ah! If my son was even one-tenth of Young master Lin, I could die in peace.”

“Young master Lin go, go!”

“The Lin family had produced such a genius, it’s truly his ancestors fortune!”

The air was filled with words of praises and admiration and there weren’t a single word of slander, Ye Wu Chen said in a low voice: “A very dangerous man.”

“Xiao Lin is recognized as a genius in both martial arts and literary studies that is difficult to see once in a hundred years. He has much more prestige in Tian Long City than me as the crown prince.” Long Zheng Yang said with a sigh. His mother, the empress, were the younger sister of the master of the Lin family, therefore Lin Xiao was naturally his cousin, but he haven’t interacted with Lin Xiao for many years now.

On the seats, the master of the Lin family, Lin Kuang, sat together with Ye Nu as he enjoyed the sounds of praises and cheers around the arena, and afterwards, he put on a fraudulent smile and said: “Old General Ye, I heard that your grandson has returned, why didn’t you take him to accompany you here?”

Ye Nu snorted angrily and he just kept his mouth shut. After seeing Ye Nu’s speechless expression, Lin Kuang felt so elated that he could almost fly. Everyone in Tian Long City knew that his grandson was an incredible genius and that Ye Nu’s grandson was useless.

“Hahahaha! My sweet daughter, this is the husband that I’ve found for you, pretty good right? Hahahaha!”

The extremely rough voice echoed like a thunderclap and suppressed the noises of the audience. Even Ye Wu Chen’s gaze were drawn over, after a look, he saw a dark middle aged man with a bearded face and a smile. He was already about fifty, his clothes were messy and had holes all over it and exposed his dark colored muscles. At this moment, he was sitting with his legs crossed and he was laughing heartily, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

“Dad…… don’t be so loud.” At his side, a gentle and delicate figure shook him and talked with a soft and delicate voice. Ye Wu Chen’s eyes shifted to the side and his gaze immediately became scorching hot.

There was a charming girl who was only about 15-16 years old, but she had beautiful eyes that were like deep pools of translucent water. She had a gentle and beautiful face matched with tender, cherry-red lips which made her look sweet and beautiful, her pure and breathtaking beauty, together with her jade like face, could truly make other beauties feel ashamed, she was just like a fairy descended from the heavens, untainted by the mundane world.

There were a cyan colored bird perched on her shoulder, it was just a normal sized bird with a long beak and it didn’t look any different from an ordinary bird.

Ye Wu Chen gaped for a moment. The small and delicate beauty were sitting together with big and tall men which made her seem all the more delicate and aroused feelings of cherish and affection from others.

“That man is Hua Zhentian, he’s the Hua family’s master, and beside him is his only daughter, Hua Shui Rou, she should be turning 16 this year, I didn’t think that pigtail wearing little girl would grow up into such a fairy-like woman. But it won’t be long before it’s time for her to marry.” Said Long Zheng Yang.

“She was betrothed to Lin Xiao right?” Ye Wu Chen asked, but his eyes were still fixed on Hua Shui Rou’s body while he carefully watched every action that she made.

“That’s right. It’s well known in Tian Long City and they’re praised as a very good match. So even though she’s had countless admirers during the years, there weren’t anyone who tried to propose a marriage. Hua Zhentian had also said that his daughter must at least be 16 years old before he could marry her off, which should be happening later this year.”

Ye Wu Chen were silent but his lips were raised into a mysterious smile.

“Well then, since my lovely daughter doesn’t like me being so loud, I’ll keep my voice down. Anyways, how was it my daughter, are you satisfied? You’ll be turning 16 in seven days, how do you want to handle the wedding?”

“I’ll leave it all up to daddy.” Hua Shui Rou replied with a very weak voice, she was already used to being submissive and obedient little girl, not mentioning that the other side was a handsome prince, even to her middle aged uncle she would only reply “I’ll leave it all up to daddy.”

“Haha! Well, in short, daddy likes this youngster a lot, he’s a very good match for my lovely daughter.”

Hua Zhentian was now 49 this year, he only had his daughter when he was around his thirties so he couldn’t avoid spoiling her, for her, he wanted to pick the stars off the heavens and give them to his daughter. But, even though she grew up being pampered, Hua Shui Rou didn’t have the slightest air of being a spoiled young lady, and she was incomparably gentle and kind instead, she was extremely shy and rarely went of her house, and she were afraid of going into crowded places. She was truly as delicate and supple as water and she easily aroused feelings of love in the hearts of men.

Heavenly Star – Chapter 46

Chapter 46 – Leng Ya

“Oh? Brother Ye and Younger Sister Ning Xue, you guys also came.”

Ye Wu Chen turned to the voice, he found Long Zheng Yang sitting on the last row with a smiling expression. He waved and the two persons who were sitting on his right immediately left their seats respectfully. Ye Wu Chen were also blunt, he took Ning Xue and sat down, after which he smiled and asked: “Brother Long is a noble, why would you go so far as to sit in a corner?”

Long Zheng Yang shook his head and said with a wry smile: “I hate myself for being so lazy when I was young, I’m very inferior in both literature and martial arts compared to these heaven favored geniuses, I’m so ashamed Ah.”

“I can’t agree with that, Brother Long you’re the crown prince, you will be far above them in the future. They can use their martial arts to defend themselves or use it to kill others, but Brother Long has thousands of people to protect, with just a word, you could easily deprive or save thousands of lives. Brother Long shouldn’t be ashamed.” Ye Wu Chen said.

“Even though that is so, but if I were an ordinary person…… Ah, better not to talk about it. Brother Ye, with your abilities, why don’t you try to participate in the competition? I think that with Brother Ye’s skill, you’d definitely shine.”

Ye Wu Chen shook his head and said nothing.

With this world’s classification rules, the strength of the two persons on the stage should be about rank 7 or even rank 8, having such abilities at was extremely rare at such a young age, and was indeed worthy of standing out among the powerful youths of the nation.

A “Dang” loudly sounded, the axe-wielding man had been knocked to the ground. The sword wielding youngster pressed the tip of his sword against his throat with obvious pride on his face. Most youngsters with strength were proud and arrogant, which gradually changed as they matured.

“So then, the last three persons have been decided. Everyone knows that final winner wouldn’t be likely to be someone else. Lin Xiao, even though he just turned twenty, he already had a strength of rank 10 last year, and he’s recognized as a peerless genius. He must have definitely grown again this year, so it shouldn’t be a surprise.” Long Zheng Yang said.

Someone with a rank 8 strength could already be could already be counted as an expert, but someone with a rank 10 strength was an expert among experts. if he could reach the spirit level, it would be enough to establish a school. And a heaven ranked expert could become a respected teacher for generations. With his rank 10 strength at only 20 years old, perhaps he could reach the spirit level in a few years, and reach the heavenly stage before his middle ages, and he would be admired by everyone besides from a sword deity. Currently, there were 7 publicly known heaven ranked experts and they weren’t extreme geniuses, but six of them were far from comprehending the heavenly dao.

Rank 10…… his [Wu Chen spell] was now at the second layer, he would finally be able to see how high his powers have reached in this world.

At this time, a shadow appeared above the arena, a man clad in black clothes jumped on the stage. As soon as he entered the stage, the fervent atmosphere suddenly became strangely quiet, because compared to the other competitors whom released fighting spirit, he was actually releasing a deadly energy which was cold and sharp as if it was corporeal, even some people who didn’t understand martial arts felt a chill.

It’s him! It seems like I was right in coming. Ye Wu Chen’s eyes turned to the arena.

“Who is this person?” opposite of him, Emperor Long Yin calmly asked, his expressionless face had suddenly showed clear interest.

“This person is called Leng Ya, but it might be a pseudonym. He showed an extraordinary performance yesterday, but he was excessively cruel, he left 20 people half-crippled after he fought them yesterday.” An old man in front of Long Yin turned around and said with a solemn expression. He was the dean of the Royal Academy, and he was a heaven ranked flame sorcerer, Ling Yan. He was also the younger brother of the master of the Lin family, Lin Kuang, and he was also the manager of the competition.

Long Yin slightly nodded: “No matter how this match goes, just the strength of his Qi is a reason for us to keep him. If he is unwilling…… then we’ll double the rewards, and we’ll leave him alone afterwards. This is an extremely poisonous snake, if we can obtain his loyalty, then we’ll be able to turn him into a sharp sword, but if we try to force him, he would rather bite us than surrender.”

“This servant understands.”

The complacent sword wielding youngster became timid under the pressure of the black-clad youngster’s Qi, and he actually took a step back in front of so many people, but at this moment, the black-clad youngster suddenly thrust forward as fast as lightning, a cold light flashed from his hands and pierced through the sword wielding youngster’s body.

The sword wielding youngster cried out miserably as his sword and his right hand fell to the ground with a “clang”.

The surrounding people immediately burst into clamor, a few girls screamed in horror, and a few were even so scared that they tightly covered their faces with their hands, not daring to look again.

The youngster clad in black didn’t even turn around as his sword chopped off the sword wielding youngster’s hand and pierced through his body, and he was without the slightest change in his expression, as if what he had done was just a trivial matter. A loud heart-rending miserable cry came from behind him, but the sound eventually stopped, the sword wielding youngster had fainted from extreme pain and terror.

However, there weren’t many rebuking voices within the surroundings. Because it was clearly written on the rules that: “Casualties during the matches are inevitable, therefore it is forbidden to hold or seek revenge.”

Several people went up to carry the sword wielding youngster’s body and to clean the blood covered stage. Ye Wu Chen secretly sighed: is this selecting talent, or destroying it.

Would true experts really participate in this kind of competition? Ye Wu Chen shook his head: Of course not! This kind of competition only brought fame and status, and these only causes distractions in a person’s heart, making it difficult to truly succeed. Even this black-clad youngster, if he weren’t forced by circumstances, also wouldn’t participate.

Even that always laughing Chu Jingtian, even if he were here, he also definitely wouldn’t participate in this kind of competition. And with true experts, there are only a few of them that are willing to sacrifice their freedom and devote themselves to the imperial family.

“Very powerful! That instant of explosive power is extremely astonishing and it’s also difficult to block. But he’s too cruel, after all this is only a competition.” Long Zheng Yang said with a sigh.

“No, he had already acted leniently because this was a competition. If not, he would have cut off his neck.” Ye Wu Chen said, he was a bit disapproving at Long Zheng Yang, if he couldn’t even handle this level of ruthlessness, how would he become a successful ruler.

“…… this person shouldn’t be a nobody, why haven’t I heard of him before.”

“His name is Leng Ya.” Ye Wu Chen said. He had heard Lin Yan and Long Yin’s conversation without missing a word, and they weren’t even aware of him.

“Does Brother Ye know him?”

“I don’t know him.”

“……”

The final two people left were, Lin Xiao of the Lin family, and the other was……

“I am Nangong Zhen, I ask this brother to be lenient with me.”

He was a tall man that looked over 20 years old, after he finished speaking, he waved his hands and two red flames ignited on his hands—— he was actually someone who could use fire magic.

Heavenly Star – Chapter 45

2017-05-05T05:21:00.001-07:00

Chapter 45 – Tian Long Royal Academy

Ye Wu Yun didn’t say anything else, but he secretly sneered in his heart. Using the Ye family’s influence, perhaps Ye Wu Chen’s words wouldn’t be an exaggeration in an ordinary situation, However the emperor himself would be supervising the fights during the competition…… not having an invitation would mean that his presence was unwanted, or that he isn’t influential enough to enter, even his identity as the young master of the Ye family wouldn’t help.

In the past, the entire Ye family were all given invitations, but Ye Wu Chen were incapable of showing up because of his body. And Ye Wu Chen hasn’t returned yet when these invitations were being made, therefore he doesn’t have his part.

The Tian Long Royal Academy were located east of the palace, it was very close by. It occupied an enormous area, but its appearance exuded a majestic atmosphere. The Royal Academy had been built a long time ago and it was the most respected academy in the entire Tian Long City. All of its departments of literature, martial arts, magic, and even the teachers weren’t simple. However, the conditions to enter the Tian Long Royal Academy were also extremely harsh, one needs to be either; someone from the imperial family, extremely wealthy, showed extremely high talent when enrolling, or someone specially permitted by the imperial family. Therefore, ordinary people could only dream but could not enter.

Academy…… this thing had never appeared in the history of ancient china, it seems that he can’t use ancient china as a reference for this world, the Tian Chen Continent possesses rules of its own. Ye Wu Chen thought until this point, he had finally arrived at the huge gates of the Royal Academy, the gates were guarded by a large number of imperial guards, each and every one of them were sharp and reserved, they were evidently extraordinarily talented people.

Ye Wu Chen calmly walked forward with an innocent expression on his face.

“Please show me your invitation.” An imperial guard wrapped in golden armor reasonably said.

Ye Wu Chen took out his golden invitation in a flash. After seeing the gold invitation, the imperial guard’s expression immediately changed, and he showed a respectful expression on his face: “Young master, please.”

Ye Wu Chen nodded, he pulled Ning Xue and went in. He deliberately slowed down his pace, as if he were waiting for something. It was written on the invitation that he could bring with him one attendant at most, so bringing a child with him shouldn’t be a problem.

Ye Wu Yun was stunned and he was at a loss. At this moment, he also went to the front of the guards, the guard saw him and gave him a good expression as he respectfully said: “So it’s young master Ye, forgive me for being presumptuous, but please show me your invitation.”

Few people knew Ye Wu Chen, but most of the imperial guards were familiar with Ye Wu Yun.

Ye Wu Yun put his hand on his chest and searched, but he didn’t touch anything, his expression slightly changed immediately. Because he clearly remembered that he put his invitation inside his clothes last night, could he have dropped it accidentally, or……

He suddenly thought of something, his eyebrows narrowed and he yelled: “Wait a minute, younger brother Wu Chen, that invitation in your hands is mine!”

“Oh? What do you mean?” Ye Wu Chen turned around, his face obviously unhappy.

“The invitations sent to the Ye family didn’t include a copy for you, so where did yours come from? While the invitation in my hand disappeared for no reason, how can there be such a coincidence. Younger brother Wu Chen, I’ve always been patient with you, but you’re actually a person that crows like a cock and steals like a dog, it’s truly…… very disappointing.” Ye Wu Yun said with an angry face. (TL Note: idk how to translate that idiom.)

“Are you saying that I stole your invitation?” Ye Wu Chen’s face sank, as he walked back with a gloomy face.

“Do you dare to let us look at the name on the invitation!

“Then open your dog eyes and look clearly.” Ye Wu Chen coldly snorted and he readily threw his gilded invitation into the hand of a somewhat stunned guard. He caught it at once and inspected it, soon after, his face showed a strange expression and he said to Ye Wu Yun: “Young master Ye, this…… this is truly not your invitation.”

Ye Wu Yun seized the invitation, but the 3 words “Ye Wu Chen” was clearly written on it, furthermore, there weren’t any traces of alterations, so it was even more impossible that It was forged. Ye Wu Yun’s face immediately changed from red to black, but he was unable to say a word.

Ye Wu Chen pulled the invitation from his hands and sneered: “Have your dog eyes seen it clearly? This is ridiculous, you said it again and again that the Ye family gave you your life, but you’re just an obedient dog of my Ye family, so don’t consider yourself as the eldest young master, you are nothing.”

Not bothering to look at the ashen face of Ye Wu Yun, Ye Wu Chen gracefully stepped aside and walked inside.

“Young master Ye, if you don’t have an invitation then please return. Please don’t make things difficult for me, because the emperor himself ordered……”

“Humph”

He snorted angrily, he had lost a lot of face and he didn’t want to stay a second longer, he quickly left with his heart full of resentment.

“Having a toy makes life truly wonderful.” Said Ye Wu Chen while smiling, making Ning Xue laugh furtively: “Older brother, he’s really pitiful.”

“Maybe so. He and I don’t have any enmity between us, but my identity that I’m using right now certainly has a huge enmity with him. Since he has already harmed ‘myself’ before, he is my life’s enemy, so don’t sympathize with him, but let him go to hell, step on his foot again after he falls into hell, and make him fall into a bottomless abyss of eternal damnation.”

Ye Wu Chen casually said, Ye Ning Xue didn’t really understand and could only answer weakly.

They were in a huge square, the square was filled with people, and the center was spacious for the stages of the matches. The stages were ordinarily used when the freshmen are displaying their talent or for inner college competitions, and every year they were also used for these martial arts fights.

After yesterday’s screening, there were only less than 30 people that could enter the competition, and at this moment, the matches were already drawing to a close, but the audiences were still packed, because the matches were getting more and more exciting as the strong were naturally the last ones to enter the stage.

At first glance, there sat around two to three thousand people on the full ring, among them were numerous people who were ordinarily hidden in their rooms or college, it was a gathering place of young women and young elites, how could they endure staying in their rooms?

Ye Wu Chen and Ning Xue entered from a corner, but they couldn’t find any seats as they looked around, so they just stood where they were and watched from the sidelines. On the stage were two evenly matched persons fighting, a sword and an axe were whistling through the air, with burst after burst of cheers accompanying them. But Ye Wu Chen’s sight passed through the competition stage, he looked around until he finally saw the emperor, he was around 40 years old with a dignified look and an unsmiling expression, he faintly felt an invisible pressure from far away. On his side sat a person with graying hair and a cold looking old man, who sat motionless, they were the two heavenly ranked experts from the three, only when he had two could the emperor feel completely at ease.

It seems like, that person is Tian Long City’s emperor, Long Yin.

Not far from Long Yin, he saw Ye Nu, Ye Wei, and Wang Wen Shu sitting together, and as well as Ye Shui Yao with her face half hidden. But their eyes were only fixed at the stage and they didn’t see him.

She actually came, Ye Wu Chen was slightly surprised.

Heavenly Star – Chapter 44

2017-05-05T05:20:00.000-07:00

Chapter 44: Are You Insane!

“After all, those were only your guesses.” Ye Shui Yao faintly said, but she didn’t blame him. Besides from not looking at him, she didn’t appear particularly strange. As if the matter from last night didn’t even happen. The two persons remained absolutely silent.

“I’ve never doubted my own guesses. Furthermore, those weren’t guesses, but rather…… facts!”

“…… What will you tell mom?”

It’s been a long time since Ye Shui Yao had spoken so many words. Previously, even though she was talking to her parents, she was unwilling to speak and would only nod or shake her head.

“Is older sister worried about me?”

“……”

“Don’t worry elder sister, Ye Wu Yun is a lenient and magnanimous person, why would he do something like talk about me behind my back. He would only stay silent, then afterwards, he would ‘accidentally’ let the servants know and it would ‘accidentally’ spread to others. But they also shouldn’t have enough time to attend to me for these two days.

Ye Wu Chen picked up the invitation on top of the table and opened it —— this probably shouldn’t be called an invitation, but rather an invitation letter to watch the competition on the day after tomorrow. Because those matches would be used to select Tian Long Country’s most talented rising star, some of them would probably become top level experts of Tian Long City in the future, and some might even serve the country and become the country’s pillar of support. Aside from that, these kinds of competition to determine the strongest have always produced incomparably wonderful matches, which people could only see once a year, who wouldn’t want to watch? Therefore most of the nobility will be present on that day, and even countless of people would travel far and wide to come and watch the matches. And the Ye family, being a huge clan, were naturally invited.

However, this invitation included every member of the Ye family and only he was excluded.

“It seems like that I’ve already been forgotten. Older sister, you might as well watch the matches, every young genius of Tian Long City will be there, and older sister might even be able to find someone she likes. Oh, and by the way, I might also come and watch.” Ye Wu Chen seemingly casually said.

Ye Shui Yao: “……”

The two persons ran out of things to say and the atmosphere became quiet. After a long silence, the mood became increasingly awkward. Left alone in the silence, not remembering something was impossible.

“Cough…… that, older sister, last night’s matter……”

It was as if Ye Shui Yao was electrocuted, her cold voice interrupted him: “Get Out!”

“Oh…… we are siblings after all, looking should be fine……”

BANG!

A black ink slab smashed on the place where Ye Wu Chen was sitting before, but Ye Wu Chen had already panickedly escaped.

“I really should never mention this matter again…… that was such a huge piece of marble ink slab, and yet it had been thrown with enough strength to smash a hole through an ordinary person’s head. Women really are frightening things.” Ye Wu Chen fearfully thought after escaping from Ye Shui Yao’s courtyard.

He could say that he understood the ancient and modern world, but the only thing that he couldn’t understand was a woman’s heart. Because when he was only 7 years old, he had subconsciously learned not to go near them. He was still a blank sheet of paper after ten years after he turned 7, and the only change was that his mental attitude, which laid dormant within his body, grew and matured.

As expected, the news that the small young master had unreasonably beaten up the eldest young master had started spread during the afternoon, and in addition, he also threw extremely revolting insults at him. This matter was naturally spread out by Ye Wu, and he even said that the eldest young master had strictly prohibited him to tell others, but he was really feeling a bit indignant.

As a result, this matter naturally reached Wang Wen Shu’s ears. But this was her recently regained son which was extremely pampered by his mother, so how would she be willing to blame him, she merely consoled Ye Wu Yun with a few lines but Ye Wu Chen didn’t even say a word to him and he acted as if nothing happened.

But General Ye and Grandpa Ye were both busy and it was unlikely that they would return for the next two days.

Ye Wu Chen was looking forward to seeing how much longer Ye Wu Yun could endure silently, however, when the day truly comes that he can’t bear it any longer and he exposes himself, Ye Wu Chen would lose an excellent toy. How could he live a boring life without any embellishments.

On the next day, Ye Wu Chen took Ye Qi with him to shop around Tian Long City again, he walked through every place that he’s visited and hasn’t visited before and firmly remembered the layouts and locations of various buildings and shops. In the evening, he gave Ning Xue a bath, and afterwards, he quietly went out for another round trip again, but this time, when he passed by Ye Shui Yao’s bedroom, the window on the roof were closed tightly.

When he returned, Ye Wu Chen was holding a gilded paper within his hands, it looked exactly the same as the piece of paper from before on top Ye Shui Yao’s table, it was the invitation letter for the competition tomorrow. The only difference was that the name Ye Wu Yun was written on top of it.

The matches tomorrow really couldn’t be watched unless one was wealthy, because the emperor will be attending, the security can’t show any negligence and no unauthorized person will be present. But the people showing up would have both power and influence, and most of which are Tian Long City’s princes and dukes and the nobles, but it will also include every provincial governors, the wealthy and etc…

And the Ye family, being such a huge family, will naturally receive the most solemn of invitations. By using very rare gilded invitations.

Ye Wu Chen pressed his finger on top of the character “Yun”, and his fingertip shone with unrecognizable colorless rays of light. As his finger moved, the pitch-black writing also disappeared in succession, until no trace of it remained. The paper was spotlessly white, but there were no signs that it was damaged.

Ye Wu Chen wrote “Chen” where the character “Yun” was before, and afterwards, he put his brush back, yawned, and went to sleep.

It was already late when Ye Wu Chen woke up the next morning, he heard the sound of Xiao Lu knocking as she said: “Young master, the madam has already went out and won’t be returning until evening, breakfast is already prepared, so please get up Young master and Young lady Ning Xue……”

“I understand, you may come in.” Ye Wu Chen weakly said as he rubbed his still sleepy eyes, he flicked his finger and the tethered door opened.

It was already time for the matches to begin, but Ye Wu Chen didn’t seem to be in a hurry, he allowed Xiao Lu to clothe him and tie his hair, and afterwards, he leisurely ate breakfast with Ning Xue, he was about to leave the Ye mansion, but unfortunately, he came across Ye Wu Yun as he was also about to leave.

Ye Wu Yun had a stiff smile as he asked: “Younger brother Wu Chen, are you going shopping again?”

“Oh, didn’t someone say that the royal academy would be holding a competition? I’m just going to take a look.” Ye Wu Chen casually said without raising his eyes.

“This…… Younger brother Wu Chen, it isn’t an ordinary competition, you won’t be able to get in without an invitation. Younger brother Wu Chen you seem like as if you……”

“Are you insane? With my Ye family’s strength, where in the entire Tian Long City can’t I go? Anyone who dares block me, I’ll have his head!” Ye Wu Chen looked at him with contempt and coldly snorted afterwards, he took Ning Xue and took large strides forward and paid no attention to him again.

Chapter 43 – Kicked Out!

Ye Wu Chen slightly nodded, and he turned towards the young Doctor Zhang, Doctor Zhang also looked at him, a shocked expression was on his face. Ye Wu Chen had a mischievous tone as he said: “Doctor Zhang is actually very healthy, you’re already at this age but you still have the vitality of a dragon and the ferociousness of a tiger, quite admirable. But Doctor Zhang is already near 30, you should exercise better control on some things, otherwise you’ll definitely fall seriously ill after half a year.”

(Vitality of a dragon and the ferociousness of a tiger —–>> in bed ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) )

Doctor Zhang had a reddish face, but he didn’t refute, Ye Wu Chen clearly wasn’t wrong, he stood up and faced him: “Young master Ye’s eyes are as revealing as a torch, i, myself, admire you endlessly.”

They could say that the first time was only a coincidence, but what about the second time and third time?

The 3 doctors’ previous looks of discontent, disdain and even thin anger, had turned to shock, and had now turned into extreme admiration, looking at Ye Wu Chen’s eyes was like looking at a deity. Scholars yearn for the celestial beings’ knowledge, martial artists respect the powerful, while people who practice the art of healing naturally admire someone whose medical expertise surpasses theirs.

During the time when the young master was sick, they also came frequently to the Ye Mansion to take care of him, they could say that they were already quite familiar with him. Now, while looking at the youngster with a faint smile in front of them, they all came up with the same question: Was he truly the frail young master of the Ye family? He had barely swept a glance at them and he had already diagnosed their illnesses and its causes, which they themselves didn’t know, without the slightest error…… how could he have obtained this kind of world shocking medical skill.

The 3 doctors looked at each other in dismay, when facing him, they actually felt a strange feeling of extreme admiration, they were no longer angry about his previous display of rudeness and arrogance, and they felt it was only natural instead.

“This old man had always been confident that his medical skills were peerless on the lands under the heavens, I didn’t think that in front of young master I would actually be…… Ahh, the shame. May I ask young master what kind of deity is your master?” Doctor Li respectfully asked, his voice were filled with distinct admiration. He didn’t believe that Ye Wu Chen could have comprehended those kinds of medical skills by himself, he definitely must have had an extraordinary medical god giving him instructions.

Doctor Wang and Doctor Zhang both had the same fervent expression. Ye Wu Chen shook his head and sternly said: “My master has shunned the world for a long time and doesn’t want to be found, I ask seniors to forgive me.”

“No matter, this old man spoke out of turn. Since even his disciple says so, then your revered master’s medical expertise should have probably reached a heavenly level. If your revered master had wanted fame, then his name should have already spread through the lands since long ago. It’s not surprising that Young master Ye’s body is already completely functional. Ah, I know that there’s a medical deity but I have no chance meet him, it’s truly a regret of a lifetime.” Doctor Li said with a sigh.

Doctor Wang and Doctor Zhang both nodded, their faces were also filled with yearning and regret.

Doctor Li stood up and said: “Young master Ye, we have to say goodbye. If even Young master Ye and his revered master was incapable of restoring Young master Ye’s memories, then we 3 doesn’t even need to try.”

“Allow me to escort the doctors outside, but I will still have to ask the 3 senior doctors to keep this junior and his master’s secret.” Ye Wu Chen respectfully said, his lips were raised into a meaningful smile. Wang Wen Shu using a few methods to invite some imperial physicians to treat him was all within his expectations! He could also use this as an excuse to remove suspicions on him, it was hitting three birds with one stone! Now he had also planted the Lin family’s destruction.

“Yes, of course!”

Soon after they left, he heard Wang Wen Shu and the 3 doctors’ voices through the door.

“Madam Ye, this old doctor is ashamed to say this isn’t within our powers.”

“This……”

“Madam Ye, this old doctor doesn’t have the face to stay, thus we bid farewell.”

“…… Please take care senior doctors.”

He took a stroll in Tian Long City in the morning, next, he talked with the 3 old men for quite a while, and afterwards, Wang Wen Shu pulled him aside for a “mother and son” talk for a long time. When he finally became free, it was already noon.

Ye Wu Chen did not immediately return to his courtyard, after a bit of thought, he turned towards Ye Shui Yao’s courtyard. He had just arrived at the courtyard when he heard a man’s voice from inside, his eyebrows narrowed, because this was clearly Ye Wu Yun’s voice.

Hey…… this should be interesting. Ye Wu Chen had a very unscrupulous smile as he casually walked over. There were no maids in Ye Shui Yao’s courtyard, so naturally, it was unlikely that there was anyone who knew.

“Little sister Shui Yao, I’ll put this invitation here in advance, besides from younger brother Wu Chen, the whole family is all meeting together, Younger sister shouldn’t always stay at home, you should also stroll out once in a while.”

“Get Out!”

“Little sister, your elder brother had always wanted to ask, is there something worrying you? There is no harm in talking about it because brother might be able to help you.”

“I said get out!” Ye Shui Yao’s cold voice sounded a bit impatient.

“My older sister wants you to get out, what are you still doing here, or are you possibly waiting for me to throw you out?” Ye Wu Chen unhurriedly walked in. They were in Ye Shui Yao’s study, he didn’t think that Ye Wu Yun, like himself, would have the courage to enter her room.

Hearing his voice, Ye Shui Yao still didn’t raise her head, but her tender eyebrows clearly stirred up a bit.

Ye Wu Yun’s face ** a few times, afterwards, he calmly said: “Younger brother Wu Chen’s words are clearly a bit excessive, because your brother is also speaking for younger sister’s sake.”

“Oh?” Ye Wu Chen sneered, and looked at him with half an eye: “This word ‘younger sister’ are you also qualified to call her that? Let me ask you in advance to understand your own position, your life was saved by my Ye family, the Ye family also raised you and gave you your identity, do you truly consider yourself as the eldest young master? You…… you’re merely a dog which was picked up by my Ye family, please don’t look at yourself as a person. Performing well is a dog’s responsibility, but it is still not up to you to take care of my Ye family’s matters.”

Ye Qi had also mentioned in the morning, everyone at the Ye Mansion knew that the eldest young master was fond of the eldest young lady, the Ye family had also never opposed it, and had made great efforts to support it instead, because they had approved for their foster son to become their son in law so that they would become a true family. And they already felt reassured with Ye Wu Yun’s character and capabilities.

“You……” Ye Wu Yun had a twisted expression, even a Clay Buddha still had some anger, even though he had good self-restraint, he would also be unable to suppress his anger when faced with this kind of humiliation.

“You’re still not getting out! Then….. let me send you out.”

Ye Wu Chen suddenly raised his leg without any warning, and he kicked him in the stomach, Ye Wu Yun groaned as he fell to the ground. Ye Wu Chen sent another kick at him so that his body kept rolling, it was just right to roll him right out the door.

They heard a “click” as the door of the room closed, Ye Wu Chen laughed and said: “Well sister, now it’s peaceful.”

After a little while, they heard the sound of footsteps gradually getting further outside the door, which vaguely sounded like he was staggering a bit. Ye Wu Yun must have probably had an incomparably wonderful expression, but he didn’t have any interest in looking.

“You were excessive.” Ye Shui Yao sat in front of her desk, she was looking at a sketch of a scenery and she didn’t even raise her head. Her voice was as cold as water.

“When a person is angered, that’s the most likely time when he’ll show his weakness.” Ye Wu Chen sat down freely and enjoyed her graceful and elegant sitting appearance.

Chapter 42: Quacks

“Young master…… let me say something. Actually, everyone believes that the first place wouldn’t belong to anyone else, and would still belong to the eldest young master of the Lin family.

“Eldest young master of the Lin family? Is he that difficult to deal with?” Ye Wu Chen asked lazily, he remembered that the eldest young master of the Lin family were apparently called Lin Xiao, it is said that he was well versed in both literature and martial arts, and that he had all the qualities that a man should have, even Wang Wen Shu had a face full of admiration when she spoke about this young master from their rival family, wishing that he was her son.

“He’s not just difficult to deal with. The eldest young master of the Lin family is known as a dragon among men, he’s unrivaled among young geniuses. Not only is he handsome, unrestrained, and outstandingly intelligent, he’s also well-versed in literature and martial arts. When he first competed 3 years ago, he easily obtained first place in both literature and martial arts, he also participated last year and he still remained number one in both literature and martial arts, the literary contest had ended the other day and he still obtained first place, and he’d probably obtain first place in the coming martial arts competition as well, rumors says that his swordplay had already reached perfection, even the 3 heaven ranked experts within the palace had all praised him in admiration because he was such a genius, among his many titles, some are ‘The number one scholar of Tian Long’ and ‘The number one genius of Tian Long’. All of the young men in Tian Long City could only hope for the achievements of the eldest young master of the Lin family, yet he never acted arrogantly, and he treated other people rather modestly, therefore he possesses an extremely wide range of connections in Tian Long City. Furthermore, he isn’t a womanizer, he has deep feelings for the young lady of the Hua family and he promised to her that he would never marry again. Within Tian Long City, everyone’s talking about the eldest young master of the Lin family and not…… *cough* *cough*, the, small, young master……”

This topic were mentioned all throughout Tian Long, because every men both admired and envied Lin Xiao, Ye Qi forgot where he was for a moment and excitedly talked in a hype, even his saliva splashed across from his mouth, at this moment, he finally remembered that he was by his master’s side—— the Ye family’s small young master, he had greatly boasted about Lin Xiao in front of his master, Ye Qi started to sweat profusely, and he stutteringly said: “Even though the eldest young master of the Lin family is pretty good, he’s still a little bit worse when compared to young master, ever since I first saw young master……”

Ye Wu Chen raised an eyebrow and stopped the outburst of flattery that he was about to say: “Shut up! I’m a bit tired today so we’re going back.”

He naturally wasn’t tired yet, but Ning Xue was already looking a bit tired. He carried Ning Xue in his arms, attracting all sorts of strange looks while they were returning to the Ye Mansion.

They had just barely entered the gates when Wang Wen Shu hurriedly came to welcome them: “Chen’er, follow mother quickly, mother has brought you the 3 best imperial physicians, they’ll definitely find a way to restore your memories.”

Ye Wu Chen put Ning Xue down and said: “Xue’er, go back and wait for me ok?”

After Ning Xue left, he quietly followed Wang Wen Shu to the hall. Inside were 3 well-mannered middle aged men, the oldest was over sixty years old and the youngest were around fifty.

“Come Chen’er, this is Doctor Li, this is Doctor Wang, and this is Doctor Zhang. Quickly greet the 3 imperial physicians.” Wang Wen Shu introduced them one by one.

Ye Wu Chen arbitrarily glanced at the 3, he faced towards Wang Wen Shu afterwards and said: “This is…… Can you let me and the 3 imperial physicians talk alone, I think this might help me have a better chance of recovering my memories.”

“Eeh…… well its ok, I’ll leave first, 3 Doctors, Chen’er will accompany you.” Wang Wen Shu agreed without hesitation and left afterwards.

Ye Wu Chen didn’t look at them again, he sat on the seat in the center instead, and poured himself a cup of tea afterwards, he smiled as he drank, he had shopped all morning and his mouth was quite dry.

His arrogant actions made the 3 doctors want to storm out in anger, but they held back because his status as the young master of the Ye family, the eldest man said: “Young master, let this old man first take your pulse.”

He put down his teacup, wiped his mouth, and looked at him afterwards and said: “There’s no need to take my pulse, Doctor Li, can you answer this junior’s question? Has the pit of your stomach ache been aching frequently during the past week? And furthermore, eating anything spicy would make the pain intensify and it wouldn’t improve no matter what method you used.”

Doctor Li’s face revealed a startled expression: “How did young master know? Young master Ye is right, this old man’s stomach had been constantly aching since 1 week ago, I’ve already used multiple kinds of medicine but it was all to no avail.”

“Of course it’s useless, Doctor Li is perfectly healthy, it’s not a physical problem, but rather a poisoning. Doctor Li, were you bitten by a poisonous insect 1 week ago?” Ye Wu Chen said with a confident tone, as if he were absolutely sure.

Doctor Li pondered for a moment and he suddenly slapped the table ferociously: “That’s right, this old man was bitten by a strange insect when I was gathering herbs a week ago, I still have the scar, so it was actually a poisonous insect! Ahh the shame!” He held out a withered old hand, and sure enough, there was a strange bite scar on his little finger.

“Doctor Li is already this old but he still picks his herbs himself, this junior admires your integrity. Doctor Li just overlooked something trivial, there’s no need to feel ashamed. This poison is very mild, but it will also cause irreparable damage after a long period of time, if you take an ordinary antidote now, the poison will be completely gone before 3 days, I think this would definitely not be a problem for Doctor Li.” Ye Wu Chen said with a smile.

“How did young master know?” Doctor Li asked with a respectful expression.

“First, the tip of Doctor Li’s tongue is a bit greenish, secondly, the wound on the back of your finger is also green, and furthermore the injury had only been there for a week. Therefore I could guess it.”

The 3 doctors were completely shocked. Tip of the tongue, back of the finger…… Aside from knowledge and experience, this also required astonishing powers of observation.

“Doctor Wang, have you recently started experiencing frequent headaches and chest pains, accompanied by difficulty sleeping during the night, and taking countless medicines also couldn’t cure you?”

“Yes, they’re all true!” Doctor Wang stood up a bit excitedly.

“Actually, Doctor Wang doesn’t need to take medicine, just go sightseeing and you will naturally improve after some time.”

“This is……”

“Doctor Wang, has there been something bothering you and making you angry recently? Keep in mind that extreme anger injures the liver, the liver is one of the five viscera, injure one and you injure the whole body. Especially during Doctor Wang’s age, you should be calmer and avoid being angry.”

Quacks, they’re all quacks! They don’t even know the most basic of things! However it also wasn’t surprising, this medical knowledge had been accumulated for millenniums, and had much more advanced technology when compared to the Tian Chen Continent. A few basic medical knowledge, to this world, might be enough to cause a revolution in the medical community.

Doctor Wang was stunned at first, but he suddenly exclaimed afterwards: “Young master is truly a god, that’s right, I’ve been frequently angry because of my dog of a son’s matters. After I return, I’ll trust young master’s words and ask the emperor for a few days of vacation and go sightseeing.

Chapter 41: Shopping

On the next day.

Wu Chen and Ning Xue woke up very early, but the sun was earlier than them. It was sunny outside and the skies were cloudless. The Ye Mansion went about their business as usual, besides from the two persons involved, no one knew about the “event” that happened last night. Ye Wu Chen didn’t think that Ye Shui Yao would spread it to others. She didn’t seem to care about anything, so maybe she also didn’t care too much about that matter. Because after all… … they were still brother and sister in name.

At this time, Ye Wu Chen had already finished changing into the luxurious clothes that Xiao Lu brought him, after tying his hair, he looked matchlessly handsome, the corners of his mouth raised into a smile filled with evil charm, and he changed his demeanor into one that was faintly arrogant, Xiao Lu saw stars in her eyes as she became dazzled, she even almost fainted, Wang Wen Shu was even more satisfied, because not only does her son look outstanding, but he also clearly changed, he no longer had that coldness from yesterday and he had a big smile on his face, this meant that he had already began to accept this as his home.

What a perfect pretty boy image…… Ye Wu Chen said to himself after looking at the mirror.

After breakfast, the Ye family suddenly became really busy, Ye Nu and Ye Wei went out, Ye Wu Chen took Ning Xue to tour around the large mansion, but he found that he had nothing else to do.

“Xiao Qi, we’re going to go shopping. You’ll stay here Xiao Ba, if the madam looks for us, tell her that I just went shopping and that I’ll return very quickly. Oh by the way, bring me a fan.”

“Yes Yes!” Ye Qi and Ye Ba answered simultaneously. Soon after, Ye Ba came while holding a white fan.

Ye Wu Chen took it and flung it open, he smiled and asked: “Xue’er, doesn’t brother look like a young master from an influential family now?”

“As long as it’s brother, you’ll always be the best looking.” Ning Xue winked at him, giving an irrelevant answer.

“I knew you would say that.” Ye Wu Chen gave her a doting smile, then waved his fan afterwards and said: “Xiao Qi, let’s go.”

Ye Qi quickly followed. Even an idiot would see that, unlike the unsmiling young master from yesterday, he seemed like a different person today, it seems like he was in an unusually good mood.

On the crowded streets, all sorts of people flowed in an unending stream, revealing how prosperous the Tian Long capital city was. Ye Wu Chen held a fan on one hand and led Ning Xue with the other as they strode down the middle of the road, he looked noble and arrogant beyond doubt, combined with his astonishing appearance, he looked very eye-catching as though he were a crane amongst a flock of chickens as they mixed with the crowd, each passerby all subconsciously stepped aside for him one after another, and he constantly obtained glances from a few unmarried girls, but they sadly hung their heads in shame right after, because this kind of temperament wasn’t something that an ordinary huge family could foster.

Even though the news of the return of the missing young master of the Ye family was already widespread in Tian Long City, because the small young master of the Ye family rarely went out, no one practically knew him. Even someone who had seen him before would have already forgotten, therefore no one could recognize him.

“Xiao Qi, how far are we from the imperial palace?” Ye Wu Chen asked.

“Answering master, very near, it would probably take about less than half an hour on foot, but we would arrive quite quickly if we rode a horse.” Ye Qi answered.

“Oh… … we’re going to take a look at the surroundings of the imperial palace.”

The imperial palace were located northwest of the Ye mansion, and as they came closer, the crowd also became denser. After walking for more than ten minutes, Ye Wu Chen frowned and asked: “Xiao Qi, is there anything important happening these days? Most of the people passing by here are young, looks hurried, dressed differently, and walks while unconsciously looking around, they obviously doesn’t or rarely comes here. Is there some sort of assembly today in Tian Long City?”

“Master is intelligent, in a few days, the Tian Long Royal Academy will hold a once a year competition to choose the most talented youth, anyone under 25 years old can participate, even the emperor himself would attend to watch and select the most talented, therefore there are a lot of people that wants to participate and watch.”

“Oh? What are the rules?” Ye Wu Chen asked.

“This…… the contest is divided between literature and martial arts, literature comes first and martial arts after. This year’s literary contest had just finished the day before yesterday and the martial arts contest is starting tomorrow, the preliminary matches are tomorrow, there will be many matches conducted at the same time to filter out the strong and the emperor probably wouldn’t watch, the matches of the truly powerful would be on the next day, they also receive the most attention each year. Today is the last day of registrations. Ah…… young master, look at that and you’ll understand.” Ye Qi’s eyes lit up, pointing towards the front.

Posted on the wall was a large announcement, but this announcement already filled the city and they posted it every year, there were few people who didn’t know what it were and most would go just to confirm the date of the competition, therefore a crowd didn’t form around the announcement. Ye Wu Chen were just starting to approach it when he suddenly stopped, because he saw a back which left a deep impression on him.

Contrary to the gorgeous white clothes that Ye Wu Chen was wearing, the other were dressed in shabby black clothes, he stood quietly beneath the announcement with his whole body motionless, Ye Wu Chen saw that he held a straight **, releasing the cold light of a sharp blade.

Ye Wu Chen had seen this person in front of the House of Smoke and Dreams yesterday, at that time, he was supporting a middle aged woman who seemed blind as he walked by in front of him, that cold air and his sharp gaze as though he was a starving eagle, made him firmly remember this person.

He went to his side, he roughly swept a glance at the announcement. He skipped past the wordy opening speech, the details of the contest were more or less the same as Ye Qi explained to him. The qualifying matches were tomorrow and the day after were the contests between the powerful youths. The rules of the matches were a challenge system.

Ye Wu Chen’s gaze slightly tilted to the side, he looked towards his side and saw someone around his age, he had a very thin figure and he had a cold and stiff expression, but he saw that he had a resolute gaze as he stared at the announcement.

Ye Wu Chen turned around and left with Ning Xue.

The announcement below reads as: “The first place winner will be summoned by the emperor and receive a spirit ranked weapon, five thousand taels of silver, and a residence north of the city, depending on how high his abilities. The other 10 names chosen by the emperor can choose to receive either a thousand taels of silver, or they could choose to enter the imperial guards of the emperor and they wouldn’t have worry about food or clothing for a lifetime.

Such conditions may not be rich, but for most people, they wanted fame, they wanted to their name to spread through the lands under the heavens, and live a way of life on the boundless plains. But for some people, they didn’t care about fame, and only wanted the attractive monetary rewards.

He was the same kind of person as the latter, in this life that he was forced to live in, he needed money, therefore he would participate in the competition.

“This is, young master, would you possibly want to sign up?” Ye Qi had a nervous expression as he asked. He was afraid that the small young master would register to compete on the spur of the moment…… the result would definitely only lose face for the Ye family. In the past, the whole city knew how useless the young master of the Ye family was, even though he was already normal now, but he was still nothing more than a weak scholar.

“This young master won’t participate, I’m just going to watch.” Ye Wu Chen said.

Heavenly Star – Chapter 40

2017-05-05T05:14:00.001-07:00

Chapter 40 – Accident

He moved as if he were flying, under the curtain of darkness, a white shadow flashed by. After dinner, He was pulled aside by Wang Wen Shu to tour around the entire Ye Mansion, conveniently, he also took note of the bright places and secret hiding spots and remembered them in his mind, at this time, he was running on the perfect route to avoid being seen.

He lightly jumped, the inertia within his body enabled him to cross a distance of more than ten meters, he landed on another rooftop, like sand falling to the ground, without making any sound. He used his spirit to check the surroundings with his body bent down, afterwards, he went somewhere and leaned down, he gently pulled open a piece of tile, after a short time, white light passed through the small crack, revealing a person that was bent over a desk —— which was Ye Wu Yun.

If the other person were an expert, he would never have chosen to peek* in this way. Because the higher their strength, the keener would their spiritual sense also be. But he had already made sure during the day that this person didn’t practice any method. Because the Ye family were constantly on the move all year round, he apparently didn’t have time to practice anything. (TL Note: Raws say (**) on “peek”, and I just assumed that peek was the word censored there.)

At this moment, he was holding a thick book, he was holding a pen in his right hand and he would write something from time to time. Even though he couldn’t see his face, he assumed that he probably had a serious expression.

Due to Ye Wu Yun’s ability to be trusted, the Ye family’s finances had all been reassuringly placed into his hands, and he had never let the Ye family be disappointed during the past few years, so the Ye family felt even more reassured, they felt so reassured that they even trusted him too much, this isn’t good. Ye Wu Chen secretly thought.

“Thud Thud”, after a knock on the door, a man dressed as an attendant came in with a cup of tea and put it on top of Ye Wu Yun’s table: “Young master, take a break and have a cup of tea.”

“Oh, thank you Xiao Wu, it’s a bit late so I can only have a short chat with you, after this, go rest early ok?”

“No, Young master should be the one to rest early, the young master works without rest every day at the Ye Mansion, even if you don’t love your body, we care a lot about it!”

“hahaha, this is already a habit, if I stop, I’d feel uncomfortable instead. So you may go now.”

“Then…… Xiao Wu will retire.” Knowing that the young master wouldn’t listen to advise, Ye Wu only shook his head and quietly went out afterwards.

The room became quiet again.

Pushing the tile back in place, Ye Wu Chen stood up to leave, he knew that there probably wouldn’t be any harvest tonight. Of course, he also didn’t expect to discover anything, he simply just wanted to try his luck. Because the other side already knew that he had a sword deity’s ring, even if they looked down on him, they also had to consider the risk of provoking the sword deity.

After another leap, he jumped across another roof, and returned along the route he came from as if he were a white ghost.

Not surprisingly, the night visit had been fruitless, but accidents still happen……

After several twists and turns, Ye Wu Chen was already at the top of his own small courtyard, as long as he leaps to Ye Shui Yao’s rooftop again, then he could directly walk back. This was the first time he used the power of “Wu Chen spell” to move in high speed, he felt extremely comfortable, and he even wished that he could continue experiencing that feeling. Therefore he ran to test the limits of his speed, after a heavy step, his body drew a beautiful white arc down towards Ye Shui Yao’s rooftop…… but this jump completely crossed more than 30 meters, and he fell directly towards Ye Shui Yao’s bedroom.

Ye Shui Yao’s bedroom rooftop had a very huge “skylight” that could open and close, this was her special set up, but it’s purpose was unknown. Most of the people in the Ye family knew of the existence of this window —— but Ye Wu Chen was clearly not one of them.

His eyes were closed as he enjoyed the comfortable feeling of the wind high up in the sky, but he quickly felt that something was wrong, he definitely should’ve reached the ground already, but his foot still hadn’t stepped on anything…… because the landing point of his body just happened to be the skylight on Ye Shui Yao’s bedroom.

The time with which Ye Wu Chen could keep his body light was limited after all, plus he was caught off guard when he pushed his power to the limit, his jump suddenly turned into a free fall, and afterwards, he fell into water with a “plop” sound and his head landed on top of two soft balls, It was as though he had sunk into smooth, soft, top-quality yogurt, the touch of skin felt soft and extremely slippery, it felt warm and soft but the tightly pinched cheeks were overflowing, he could clearly feel a huge circular outline, while the aroma of river orchids penetrated his nose.

Why was there water!?

His hands subconsciously grasped forward to support his body, and his hand felt something soft and slippery wet, after he raised his head, a reflection entered his eyes and he saw a flower so exceptional that it would be enough to make all the men in the world to admire it, but the face of its owner had wide open eyes, with shock and horror spread across her face.

The magic lamp released a gentle white light, it completely shone on her ** and her lovely and tender body, it was as though a halo of light were flowing on her skin and shoulders, outlining the semi-arc of her moist clavicles, her lotus-like arms looked as tender as the moon, they were folded together and looked too tender to discharge a drop of water.

The water was very warm, the hot water permeated their skin and turned it into a pretty pink color, the light were reflected by her beautiful black hair, half covering her beautiful figure that was submerged under water, her attractive face sparkled as if it was pure jade. She was standing on her toes along the edge of the tub, her legs were suffused with a gentle luster and her exquisite feet were as though they were pastries, her breasts glistened as though they were glossy jade and were as soft as satin… … but on her chest, two plump balls were being grabbed by two hands, but they were extremely large, so the two hands could only grab half of them.

The two persons looked at each other for a full two seconds; it was as though time was frozen. Finally, Ye Wu Chen managed to react and he retracted his hands as fast as lightning, afterwards, he casually stepped out of the tub and turned around, his face were full of resentment as he said: “Sister, this is your fault, why did you leave the window open for no reason… … furthermore, the water is a bit cold.”

After he finished speaking, despite that his whole body was soaked with water, he casually pulled open the door and walked out.

The night wind blew, Ye Wu Chen’s soaking wet body immediately shivered, his body became filled with power once again and he completely disappeared, unable to deal with anything else, he fled.

If it had been a normal room of a girl, a scream should already have pierced through the night… … However, Ye Shui Yao’s courtyard still remained extremely quiet, but the magic lamp inside the room had been extinguished after Ye Wu Chen had left.

After returning to the doorway of his bedroom, Ye Wu Chen dried the clothes on his body at top speed, and he entered the room and closed the door afterwards, he used a very small ring to turn off the magic lamp and the room immediately became pitch-black, he took off his clothes and made his way inside his blanket, his heart were still beating as hard as before.

Even if he were facing an army of thousands, he still wouldn’t have been this nervous. But because, apart from the small girl Ning Xue, that was the first time he had seen a woman’s body, the situation caught him unprepared, and that woman was still his older sister in name, furthermore… … Not only did he look, he even groped… …

“Brother, what happened to you? I can hear your heart beating, it’s so fast.” Ning Xue pressed her body against his, and she placed her small hand on top of his chest.

“It’s nothing, I just saw something I shouldn’t have, I’m a little bit nervous.” Ye Wu Chen replied, he was trying hard to calm down and control the waves in his heart.

He vaguely knew that this world was different from the open-minded China within his memories, their degree of conservativeness was equal to the China of ancient times, a woman’s body being seen by a man was equivalent to losing her chastity……

“Considering that we are relatives… … looking and touching should probably be fine.” Ye Wu Chen reassured himself, but he couldn’t help thinking about that beautiful body and the feeling of those soft peaks, for a moment, his mind became a bit agitated.

“I… … I’m still a man after all, I’m no different from a normal person.” He quietly said to himself. He sighed faintly as he closed his eyes, he didn’t know what to think.

Chapter 39 – Night Visit

Above the dining table, Ye Wu Chen talked about his previous experiences, he roughly told them everything, after dinner, Wang Wen Shu pulled him aside to ask questions, especially about when he almost lost his life half a month ago. Ye Wu Chen effortlessly told her the story, without any flaws, and by the time he returned to his small courtyard, a crescent moon already hung overhead and stars covered the night sky.

Xiao Lu, who had been eagerly waiting for his return, finally heaved a sigh of relief, while blushing, she said: “Young master, the bath is ready, let me serve the young master in the bath.”

At this moment, Xiao Lu’s hands were clenched at the corner of her clothes, and she was unconsciously twisting, her head was hung low and she was afraid to look at his eyes, this was the first time she would serve a male master in the bath, her heart was nervous. Ye Wu Chen shook his head: “No need, I’ll be fine by myself.”

Xiao Lu let out a heavy sigh of relief, but for no reason, she felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart. “Young lady Ning Xue’s bath is also ready in my room, I should serve young lady Ning Xue in the bath…… May I?”

“No, I like washing Xue’er. Xiao Lu, there’s no need to call us for baths, wash yourself and go to sleep early.” Ye Wu Chen led Ning Xue to their room, he closed the door and locked it afterwards.

Xiao Yu’s eyes widened, her small mouth hanged open, and her heart beat rapidly….. could it be that the young master actually likes such a small child……”

“Is the water hot?”

“It’s a little bit hot.”

“Well, look at brother.” Ye Wu Chen submerged his hand in the water, his palm flashed with a faint blue light, and the temperature of the water began to fall.

“Is this ok?”

“Oh, it’s good now, he he he.”

The pure white dress of unknown materials laid quietly on the bed, Ning Xue stood, compared to her petite body, the “enormous” bath was too big, the water only exposed her small head and her petite snow white shoulders, her eyes were closed as she enjoyed Ye Wu Chen’s hands wandering around her body.

“When it feels cold just tell me.”

Ye Wu Chen’s hands slid across every inch of skin on her body, her skin felt amazingly smooth. This wasn’t the first time that he washed Ning Xue, but each time that he did, he would discover that her body were always spotless, and were as smooth as soft jade, maybe taking a bath was unnecessary for her.

Even though it was night, the room was still as bright as day, hanging on the ceiling, two huge white pearls were releasing bright light, but the light wasn’t blinding. The Tian Chen Continent naturally didn’t have electrical lights, these glowing beads weren’t the legendary treasure of heaven and earth, known as night pearls, but rather a type of top level light magic lamp. Within the rare teams of magicians, having a light magician was very rare, their magic had no attacking capabilities, and they only possessed simple healing abilities. But in the Tian Chen Continent, light magicians were recognized for their magic lamps. During the day, they can compress and inject light elements into a special object, allowing them to release light for a long period of time, and these objects would become strange magic lamps.

The more powerful the light magician, the longer the magic lamp would be able to release light. Of course, ordinary people couldn’t afford such things, like the one in Ye Wu Chen’s room, it could release light for a month and it was only used by a very small number of people.

Ning Xue looked like a cursed spirit, with a cursed face, but she possessed a flawless fairy-like body. Her skin was snow white, her waist and hips were as slender as a willow, her body looked extremely petite; yet her lovable breast faintly protruded on her chest, they looked as tender and fresh as a newly peeled bamboo shoot, her peaks that were slightly sticking up had droplets that were about to fall at any moment, those two dots looks so tender and red as if they were small pink gems, yet those droplets still remained crystal clear.

Ye Wu Chen’s eyes only held love and appreciation without any traces of lust. He and Ning Xue enjoyed this kind of intimate feeling even though they’ve been only been together for a short month, these two people both didn’t have a past and could only rely on each other, they even experienced being separated by life and death, and now, they already shared everything with each other.

“Brother, you’re always giving me a bath, why do you never allow me give brother a bath?” Ning Xue looked upward and asked.

“Because I don’t need to take a bath.” Wu Chen gently played with her petite and tender buttocks, and replied with a smile.

“Don’t need? Why not?” Ning Xue had look of curiosity, and she lightly flicked her long white hair, scattering small pieces of gorgeous white shadows.

“Because brother’s body automatically removes all kinds of filth, so I’ll never be dirty, even my clothes will never be dirty.” Said Ye Wu Chen while he removed his right hand from Ning Xue’s body, he put his hand on the surface of the water and his palm flashed with a faint red light and released heat, making the cold water turn a bit warm.

10 minutes later, Ye Wu Chen picked up Ning Xue’s naked body from the water, wiped her thin body dry, then put her on top of the bed and covered her with a thin blanket.

“Brother, let’s go to sleep……” Ning Xue spread her flawless arms, signaling Wu Chen to embrace her. Sleeping within his arms had unconsciously became a habit for her, moreover it was a hard habit to drop.

Wu Chen put her arms back into the blanket, then touched her small face afterwards and said: “Xue’er, wait obediently for brother. I need to do something first, but I’ll be back soon.”

“En, brother, be sure to come back soon.” Ning Xue nodded very cutely, her eyes lightly blinked, but she tried very hard to not let her reluctance show on her face.

The night wasn’t deep, the people on the Ye Mansion weren’t sleeping yet, most of the rooms were still bright with the light from magic lamps or oil lamps, plus the crescent moon were still suspended in the sky, under the night sky, the Ye mansion were covered with a layer of brightness, so that they wouldn’t be incapable of seeing the surroundings.

Ye Wu Chen quietly walked away from his room, the small courtyard was very quiet, only the room next door had sounds of flowing water, Xiao Lu was probably taking a bath. His feet and his body flashed with a green light for an instant, and he quietly leapt onto the roof, his body was as light as a feather and he fell like a piece of leaf. After he landed, he looked like a flash of white lightning as he dashed wildly along the roof towards his target.

There’s a specially designed clothing for “thieves” and night stalkers known as “night walker”, not only are they skintight for mobility, they’re also as black as ink, after putting on the clothes, a person could blend in with the night and become hard to detect. But wearing a strikingly white night walker —— there’s either a problem with his mind, or he possesses extreme self-confidence and arrogance.

At this moment, with his body dressed in clothes as white as snow, Ye Wu Chen was obviously not the former.

In this world, this was the first time that he had displayed such astonishing speed, while he was running, a faintly discernable voice echoed from the depths of his consciousness……

“…… Our power can give us a powerful body and countless of magical abilities, but the first thing that it bestows us is an extremely high speed, you must not underestimate speed, in the world of martial arts only the quick are not broken, even though I was only on the first layer of strength, but when I relied on the speed it gave me, even people with strength far surpassing mine were rendered helpless. So, when your power is not strong enough, be sure to make good use of your speed, because not only will it help you against surprise attacks, but also with dodging storm-like attacks, when you’re confronted with an enemy you can’t contend with, you could still perfectly run away…… Even though our speed won’t increase significantly faster with the increase of our strength, but when we reach the peak of our power, we’ll be able to manipulate space, at that time, we would no longer need speed.”

This is what I named “Wu Chen Spell” what is this power?

Chapter 38 – Xiao Lu

The young master asked questions after questions, Ye Qi had stayed with his body half bent for so long that his back was aching. Ye Wu Chen nodded satisfiedly, he would firmly remember these few names and their characteristics, and Ye Qi’s last words made his heart beat ferociously.

He had almost finished asking what he wanted to know and Ye Wu Chen was going to let them retire when they suddenly heard the sounds of light footsteps outside the door, Ye Wu Chen could hear that the footsteps were cautious and even had hints of nervousness.

Very quickly, a small and delicate figure appeared in front of the door, it was a girl who looked like she was about 16 years old, she was wearing a green cheongsam, and she looked elegant and graceful. After seeing Ye Wu Chen, she hurriedly bowed her head and gave a small bow afterwards: “this lowly girl saw the small young master, I am called Xiao Lu, the madam told me to serve the little master and the young lady Ning Xue.”

Even though they were separated by a few steps, he could hear the small maid’s heartbeat going “thump thump”, he couldn’t help thinking uncomfortably: “it’s not like I’m looking for someone to slap, why is she so afraid of me?”

Ye Qi and Ye Ba’s hearts went cold, they wanted to cry but they had no tears. The Ye Mansion’s youngest, cutest, prettiest, cleverest and most lovable maid had actually been sent to serve the little master…… they were finished, they didn’t have any chance at all, and tonight, they wouldn’t be able to count how many of their brothers would be crying. For a clan’s young master, what was a maid’s biggest purpose? It’s to warm the bed, warm the bed AH!

“Oh? You’re dressed in green and your name is little green? Don’t tell me that your sisters are also named little purple, little red, little yellow…… and little white?” Ye Wu Chen smiled while asking.

(TL Note: Xiao Lu = little green)

Seeing that the little master didn’t have a violent personality like she had imagined, and that his voice had a warm and gentle feeling to it, Xia Lu’s timid and worried heart finally calmed down, and she secretly began to look at the little master in front of her, after 1 look, she suddenly felt her heartbeat accelerate, because she had never seen such a peerlessly handsome man before, Ye Wu Chen also smiled and looked at her, when his gaze touched her, Xia Lu suddenly felt as if she was electrocuted, her heart felt as if she had bumped into a deer.

Ye Wu Chen’s appearance and noble bearings had a fatal and destructive power towards this young and inexperienced girl and had resulted to the first awakenings of love.

A woman only needs her face to conquer a man, but she couldn’t use these words on a man with a better body.

Xia Lu had just entered the Ye family a month ago, this was the first time he saw the Ye family’s young master Wu Chen, before this, she had been serving Wang Wen Shu everyday, and she had won her affection. Therefore, she sent her favorite servant girl to serve her son.

“Don’t call me little master in the future, just call me young master, because I’m the only young master in the Ye family, ok?”

“Ah…… Yes.”

“Well, I’m going to have a rest, you may retire now. Oh, by the way, Xiao Lu, tell the madam that you’ll be moving to the room next to mine, Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba will also move here, so it will be easier for me to call you in the future.”

The three persons gently left the room and retired. Ye Wu Chen stood up and walked towards the bedroom and put Ning Xue on top of the huge bed. Ning Xue sighed happily, she suddenly threw herself on the soft bed and began rolling around the bed, accompanied by her lovable laughter: “Wow, what a big, soft bed, it’s really **!”

(TL Note: wtf is censored there? Was the bed indecent? Wth)

Ye Wu Chen showed a satisfied smile: Xue’er can sleep on it everyday in the future, do you like it?”

Previously, she only slept on tree leaves on the damp and cold ground, after Wu Chen had brought her back, they slept together on the hard wooden bed, while they were traveling to Tian Long City, they occasionally stayed at inns, but they sometimes slept outside. This bed would only be ordinary to the eyes of this rich family, but it was this little girl’s paradise.

“I like it, I Love it!” Ning Xue’s tiny body lied on top of the bed, she felt so comfortable that she almost didn’t want to move, this was the first time she had completely relaxed after accumulating a lot of fatigue while they were traveling, her whole body wanted her to sleep: “Brother, I want to sleep, hold me……”

Wu Chen took off her shoes, exposing her jade like little feet. At the same time, he kicked off his own shoes, lied on the bed and embraced Ning Xue, he gently sighed, his whole body was exhausted. These days, he was really tired. Not only because of the journey, but because his heart were also full of hesitation. He didn’t in the past, but since he appeared in this strange world, how could he truly calm down.

“Xue’ er, we have a home.” He closed his eyes and whispered.

“yeah……” Ning Xue answered sleepily.

“Xue’er, do you think I should continue pretending to be sickly? Or should I pretend to be a bossy young master?”

“As long as it’s brother…… Xue’er likes it. But, Xue’er doesn’t think brother should get sick……”

“Ah, since Xue’er doesn’t think so…… then I’ll make it widely known…… my character, it’s really hard for me to endure.”

“……”

“Ning Xue’s nose moved lightly and her breathing became constant, she had already fallen asleep.

“Fame, silence is a hundred times more difficult to endure, even though this is a strange world, but how can I remain a nobody? Since fate sent me here, then before I leave, I’ll make the entire Tian Chen continent remember my name!”

“Little master of the Ye family, you had been despised by too many people, now let me justify your identity for you. If you’re under the nine springs, you can thank or hate me from there.”

He had a self-confident smile on his lips, he erased all of his distracting thoughts and gradually fell asleep. He felt as though his blood destined him to be a lonely man throughout his life.

………………..

“Young master, the madam is calling you to eat dinner.”

It was afternoon, a girl’s gentle voice woke him from his sleep, Ye Wu Chen opened his eyes and quietly got up, he nodded at Xiao Lu to retire, and then he gently shook Ning Xue to wake her up.

He didn’t know how long they had slept, the sky outside was already a bit dark, so it should already be after dusk. Ye Wu Chen led Ning Xue, and let Xiao Lu bring them to an excessively luxurious dining room.

On that evening, the cloud of gloom that hung over the Ye family had finally disappeared, and they welcomed his return with a “reunion dinner”, of course, this “reunion dinner” was a custom of Ye Shui Yao, many people were only engrossed in eating, such as Ning Xue and Ye Wu Yun.

The mood on the dining table was surprisingly friendly, “The whole family” felt joyous and harmonious, every face had various forms of laughter. Even though Ye Wu Chen still didn’t call them his parents, but they were still very respectful, and acting as a very promising son, Ye Wu Yun also greeted him with a smile, as if the slapping incident never happened at noon. Ye Wu Yun were still acting as if he were peaceful and gentle, he was very intimate with everybody, and he was even a bit humble, he seemed as though he completely didn’t care about that slap on the face.

The most frightening thing wasn’t a mad dog, but a dog that still wouldn’t bark even if it had been beaten with a stick. Ye Wu Chen’s eyes were half narrowed as he looked towards Ye Wu Yun, but Ye Wu Yun just had a smile on his face. Suddenly, Ye Wu Yun’s smiling expression became completely frozen, because in an instant, Ye Wu Chen’s gaze made him feel as if he were looking at an extremely poisonous snake. But after that instant, that feeling completely disappeared. He became startled for a moment, but he thought that he was just hallucinating.

Chapter 37 – 4 Gods of Tian Chen

Ye Wu Chen waved his arm: “Leave me; I’m fine for the time being…… Oh wait, I need to ask you a few questions.” Ye Wu Chen suddenly thought of something and called them.

“Young master, you asked?”

“What’s the name of the current emperor?”

“This is……” the two brothers glanced at each other and they stood up and began to stammer: “Young master, the emperor’s name is taboo, we……”

“I asked you to tell me, and no outsiders will hear of this anyway.” Ye Wu Chen looked annoyed.

“Understood, The emperor’s true name is…… Long Yin.”

“What about the previous emperor’s?”

“Long Zheng.”

“Oh?” he secretly thought that, Grandpa Long was actually called Long Zheng. He was also considered a cynical person, he hadn’t even reached his middle ages yet when he renounced the title of emperor and gave it to his son, he didn’t want glory and riches and he lived in seclusion in the north, he detached himself from worldly affairs so that he could be free from the vortex of power struggles.

Long Yin, although he hasn’t met him yet, maybe he’s qualified to be the emperor and he probably has a bit of ability. But Long Zheng Yang, even after refining his heart for 5 years, he should still have a few things left on his body. Although he sincerely addresses him as his younger brother, if he becomes the emperor afterwards……

Ye Wu Chen was a frighteningly talented person in his past life, he had already accomplished terrifying achievements on the four arts, and on the verses of his poems and songs before he was seven. and he was even more proficient in the ancient and modern human history, summing it up, no emperor could possibly become friends or brothers with another person in the true sense of the word, otherwise they wouldn’t have a second ending. Even though it’s fictional, within <<The Deer and the Cauldron>>, Qianlong and Wei Xiaobao were originally a pure pair of brothers, but in the end, Qianlong still killed Wei Xiaobao —— Although Wei Xiaobao used a plan to escape.

“Then I’ll ask you again, Since the Tian Long imperial family uses Long as their family name, Does that mean that a dragon truly exists within our Tian Long Country?” Ye Wu Chen asked.

The two brothers, Ye Qi and Ye Ba, had their eyes wide open, this thunderous question that Ye Wu Chen asked wasn’t light. There were rumors that the young master had lost his memories, but this memory loss was really too much.

“Oh? Has someone seen it yet?”

Ye Qi shook his head: “No one has ever seen it before, but legends had been passed down since a long time ago. The Tian Mie Volcano is said to be the hottest place in the Tian Chen Continent, ordinary people can’t even go near it, let alone enter it. There were originally many experts that believed that they would be able reach the dragon fruit within the heart of the volcano alive, but they were all buried within it.”

“The hottest place…… the fire element there must be extremely active.” Ye Wu Chen whispered to himself, and suddenly asked afterwards: “What area has the most concentrated Ling Qi on the Tian Chen Continent?”

“Most Concentrated Ling Qi?” Ye Qi and Ye Ba had blank faces.

“Say it like this, which areas on the Tian Chen Continent are relatively more dreadful, for example; areas similar to the Tian Mie Volcano.”

“The most dreadful places……” Ye Qi scratched his head, while thinking he said: “I don’t know that many, but I heard that North of Tian Chen Continent, The Cold North of Cang Lan Country is extremely dreadful, furthermore all kinds of Ice ferocious beasts covers the area, an ordinary person would never dare to go to that place, there’s also a legend there about the Xue Nu palace, there lives inside someone known as the medical god, Xue Nu, which is why many people seeking medical treatment also go to that place, but they all freeze to death.”

“The Dafeng Country is said to have a huge cliff that stretches for dozens of miles, which is called Duan Hun Yuan, it’s said to be bottomless, the Dafeng Country once tried to measure it’s depth, but no matter what method they used they couldn’t touch it’s bottom, a few people used a long rope to climb down but they all disappeared in midair, when people pulled the rope up, the rope would simply be empty without exceptions.”

“The South of Kui Shui Country has a place where someone would die if they enter, a land of the lost, in the past, even the Kui Shui Country sent a Heaven level expert to enter it, but he didn’t come out afterwards. Legend says that countless of incomparably savage ancient evil beasts wander inside.”

“These are all extremely dreadful places, however.” Ye Ba interrupted: “when it comes to the most dreadful of places, nothing can compare with our Tian Long Country’s Devil’s Tower!”

After mentioning the Devil’s tower, Ye Qi also nodded and his face showed how terrified he was: “The Devil’s Tower is just a few miles west of Tian Long City, within a small black forest, originally, Tian Long City were used as a prison for a few powerful criminals, but ever since 20 years ago, 4 god level experts of Tian Chen Continent subdued the woman of the divine wrath and locked her up in the Devil’s tower afterwards, it was then when that place became the most terrible out of all the dreadful places….. One day, the guard that was originally guarding the tower suddenly bled from all over his body, while bleeding he said ‘they’re all dead…… they’re all dead…..’ and his body suddenly exploded afterwards…… after that, no matter who entered there, they would never come out or they would come out and bite anyone that they saw, and would also die before long. Nowadays, everyone in the Tian Chen Continent knows that forbidden area, let alone going in, no one would even dare going near it, if someone is going eastwards, an ordinary person would rather circle around a farther road than pass through those dark woods.”

“Was that woman on that day really that terrible? What does she look like?” Ye Wu Chen asked interestedly.

“I don’t know because, besides from the 4 gods, all the people that knew what she looked like had all died.” Ye Qi hung his head and answered.

This was the second time Ye Wu Chen had heard the name “Woman of the Divine Wrath”, the first time was when Chu Jing Tian had told him, the two pieces of information that he had received weren’t that different, but it made him more and more interested to the “Woman of the Divine Wrath” that everyone was afraid of.

“Now tell me, who are those 4 god level experts?” Ye Wu Chen picked up his teacup and gently fed Ning Xue tea.

“This…… The 4 god level experts, one is from our Tian Long Country, the sword deity ‘Chu Cang Ming’, legend says that during the time when Tian Long Country were in a crisis, the sword deity held the Cang Ming sword in his hand and went to the frontier and laid out an array, the power of one man had intimidated an army of a hundred thousand into retreating, Nowadays, the Dafeng Country doesn’t dare to lightly offend our Tian Long Country, The sword deity is an unforgettable legendary character in our Tian Long Country. Another one is the Wind God of the Dafeng Country, Chao Yang, he’s been entrusted with the life of the country, because he had promised to protect the Dafeng Country’s imperial family for a lifetime, an assassin had never appeared in the imperial palace during the past few years, but the Dafeng country regrets that he only wants to protect, he doesn’t want to obey orders, and he doesn’t want to stand on the battlefield.”

“There’s also the Cang Lan Country’s ‘Xue Nu’ from the Xue Nu palace, she’s not only the best medical god, she also possesses a god level expert’s frightening strength, rumors say that, if she waves her hand, she could easily freeze an enormous army. The last one is from the Kui Shui Country, a person called Wu Qiaocui, but there are very few rumors about him, he ordinarily comes and go without a trace, as if he was a ghost. No one has ever seen what he even looks like.”

“The 4 god level experts originally doesn’t contact each other, but because of the extremely terrifying woman of the divine wrath, the 4 had finally worked together, they subdued her after fighting for a whole night and used the devil’s chain to seal her off…… Oh, young master, the devil’s chain came from the Southern Emperor sect , it is said to be a strange ancient object, it can seal anything and only the Nan Huang Sword has the ability to cut it.”

Heavenly Star – Chapter 36

2017-05-05T05:07:00.001-07:00

Chapter 36 – Ye Qi, Ye Ba

“The Ye family is so loyal that their loyalty can never be doubted by the imperial family, and it’s even more impossible for them to even think about replacing the Ye family, but the royal court are constantly scheming against each other to try and take the title of the emperor. And with the Ye family, if I were the emperor, I definitely wouldn’t be able to rest in peace. Of course, these are only my baseless suspicions and it might only be a delusion.”

After listening to him speak with a smile on his face, Ye Shui Yao didn’t know when her sight fell on his face, and she became a bit bewildered. After a while, she slowly said: “Are you really little Chen?!”

Ye Wu Chen showed an innocent face: “Of course I am, don’t you even recognize your own brother? Look at the back of my hand, these are my marks, and just recently, I was also forced to test my blood…… Oh, that’s right, sister probably still doesn’t know that I’ve been in a coma for a long time and that I’ve been saved by senior sword deity and he taught me a lot of things. When I woke up I couldn’t remember my memories from before. So today is also my first time seeing sister.”

Ye Shui Yao became stunned again, his face had a light smile, and her eyes suddenly became entranced, Ye Shui Yao quickly looked away and asked indifferently: “Why are you telling me this?”

“Because I know that sister actually already knows about this. Because they’re too loyal, your father and grandfather never thought about these, and even though sister already knows about this, sister can’t talk about it because even if you tell them you would only suffer being scolded. Therefore you simply showed no interest about our external affairs, but you’re still worried about the future of the family, and you gradually began to resent yourself for being born in this family, and began to yearn for an ordinary quiet and peaceful life.”

Ye Wu Chen secretly shook his head, does she actually think that her so-called ordinary life would truly be beautiful? If she had been born in an ordinary family, regardless of anything else, with just her appearance, she would still be unable to have a peaceful life and she would be forced to become a plaything in someone’s hands. But it’s only because that she was born in the Ye family that she was able to live this kind of peaceful life. Ahh women……

“Sister should already know this right? The blood of the males in the Ye family had always been matchlessly powerful but I didn’t inherit the good genes of my predecessors…… and the traits that I got instead were numerous illnesses and disabilities, this is a bit strange. But sister and I afterwards, we wouldn’t be able to accomplish anything no matter how much we try hard, truthfully speaking, this is also very strange. If I were the emperor, I could also make this happen, a few random drugs could easily accomplish this if I want, Sister what do you think? Sister should be glad of your own cold personality, if sister had outstanding abilities that could match with men’s, their target wouldn’t only be me.”

After speaking for more than half a day Ye Wu Chen was rather quite thirsty, he gave Ye Shui Yao a faint smile, he carried Ning Xue and stood up, and walked outside the door afterwards: “I’ve already disturbed sister today so I’ll come back on another day, if sister also misses me, you can come and visit my small courtyard anytime.”

“Have you told grandfather about this?” Ye Shui Yao asked.

“No, I won’t use my mouth to tell them, I’ll use facts.”

She kept looking at his back until he disappeared from her line of sight and Ye Shui Yao gently sat down afterwards, her heart that were originally as calm as a serene lake now found it hard to restore her tranquility. After sitting quietly for a long time, she mumbled: “Is he really little Chen……”

She thought about her brother that were originally bed-ridden all year round, his body was frail, and his character were extremely weak, she thought again about how he displayed a sumptuous and elegant appearance just a moment ago, each and every one of his words had struck deep within her sealed heart, she became anxious and she shook her head, her eyes were fixed at the painting he had finished just a moment ago “Sea of Clouds Mountain” and she didn’t move away for a long time.

Ye Wu Chen and Ning Xue returned to their small courtyard, Wang Wen Shu weren’t waiting for them, but rather two persons with respectful expressions, they looked like they weren’t even 20 years old yet and they wore the black clothes of servants, after seeing him return, they immediately came to welcome him and bowed: “Young master, Young lady Ning Xue, this lowly servant is Ye Qi and this is my younger brother Ye Ba, the madam sent us to follow you in the future, so we will definitely obey the small young master……”

“Call me Young master, I don’t like being called ‘small’. Furthermore, you don’t need to call yourselves lowly in the future, are you really small?” Ye Wu Chen flatly said, he ignored them afterwards and pulled Ning Xue towards the study.

(TL Note – “Are you really small” – it’s a pun, it’s hard to explain but basically, “lowly” in Chinese contains the character small.)

“Yes, yes” Ye Qi and Ye Ba panickedly answered and compliantly followed. No person at the Ye family doesn’t know that this small young master is no longer that sickly master and that even his personality had hugely changed, after he had returned, he threw a slap at the young master, so he would definitely be difficult to serve, when Wang Wen Shu had called for them, they could only complain incessantly within their hearts. Now that the small young master had said these words, how would they even dare to say half the word “No”.

Ye Wu Chen sat down while holding Ning Xue, and Ye Qi promptly served him a fragrant cup of tea, he smilingly said: “Small…… Oh no, young master, your cup of tea.”

Ye Wu Chen nodded and drank a mouthful, the fragrance of the tea permeated the air and gave his lungs a pleasant feeling, he couldn’t help thinking that the wine of this world was horrible, but the tea was a bit similar to the tea from his memories. While he drank, he casually asked: “Ye Qi and Ye Ba, where are your hometowns and what were your original names?”

Once a male enters the Ye family, they could only use the surname “Ye” and the names are numerically ordered, but a maid doesn’t need to change her name. Ye Qi bowed first: “Answering the young master, this lowly…… Xiao Ba and I are from southern Cheng An City, we are blood brothers, I was formerly called Yang Dianfeng.”

(TL Note – “names are numerically ordered” —->> Ye Qi = 7 , Ye Ba = 8)

Pffftt ~~~

Ye Wu Chen spurted out the tea that were rapidly flowing down his throat, it splashed on Ning Xue’s face and even all over her clothes, he hurriedly put his cup down and helped Ning Xue wipe off the tea while he was violently coughing and even his tears almost came out.

Ye Wu Chen’s exaggerated reaction made Ye Qi feel nervous and he apologetically smiled in a hurry: “Let young master laugh, because father chose this name, i wish I could officially change it in the future, but now…… I am honored to serve the young master, this is almost the luckiest event of my life.”

“How about Xiao Ba? What was your name?” Ye Wu Chen shook his neck, finally removing the discomfort in his throat.

“Answering master, My name was Yang Gaofeng.”Ye Ba hung his head.

3 black lines appeared on Ye Wu Chen’s forehead. Dianfeng, Gaofeng, what a powerful style of naming, unfortunately, their father was surnamed Yang.

Yangdianfeng, Yanggaofeng, how much talent does their father have to choose names like this.

(TL:Note Yangdianfeng = crazy sheep/ epilepsy , Yanggaofeng = insane lamb)

Chapter 35 – Shui Yao’s Heart

Ye Shui Yao’s sight wandered around and she looked again at her younger brother that she was familiar, yet also unfamiliar with. His appearance was still the same as before but it was a bit more mature from the one from her memories. He was still very handsome but he had lost that air of delicateness and feminineness and he exuded a type of indescribable sumptuous and elegant temperament, and his demeanor exuded courage naturally, which gave off a feeling that he held others in contempt, as if he had never attached any importance towards other people, but strangely, he didn’t let others feel enmity towards him. His two eyes that were originally full of depression were now as deep as the ocean, and under the touch of his gaze, it made her have a strange feeling of wanting to get lost within the depths of his eyes.

“Who taught you?” Ye Shui Yao looked away, she looked at the finished painting again and small ripples formed in her heart. She had been painting since she was a child; she had painted enough mountains over the period of 10 years, and under her hands, she had already painted countless of tall mountains. And with just this painting that he finished in less than 1 minute, it unexpectedly made her feel that the works she had finished over the years were unpleasant to the eyes.

“I learned by myself! The idea behind this painting is actually very simple, but sister just haven’t discovered it yet.”

Successfully knocking on the door of her heart, Ye Wu Chen pulled up a chair, unceremoniously sat down, and held Ning Xue in his arms: “This is Ning Xue, she is my adopted little sister. Xue’er, greet your older sister.”

“Big sister, hello….. My name is Ning Xue.” Ning Xue lightly waved her soft little hands and shyly smiled.

Ye Shui Yao had an indifferent expression as she lightly nodded, and her sight fell on Ye Wu Chen’s body again, trying to decide whether this man was the same with the younger brother from her memories.

“Sister, are you unsatisfied at having been born at the Ye family?” Ye Wu Chen suddenly asked without even thinking. But these words stunned Ye Shui Yao and she looked away afterwards, her eyes gradually became blurry and she didn’t know that to think.

“Whether it be sister’s courtyard or her room, even though they’re very elegant, their design is extremely simple, but this should be a deliberate request of sister right? Sister doesn’t have any makeup and perfume on her body, doesn’t wear powder on her face, and she doesn’t even wear any jewelry. So it’s only natural that my naturally beautiful sister, a fairy transformed as a human, simply doesn’t want these secular ornaments, and her being born as the only daughter of this wealthy family is a bit abnormal. And furthermore, sister even has such a big courtyard with maids and servants, I wonder if sister likes peace and quiet or just like living in seclusion?”

“I’ve been missing for a year as well, but sister isn’t even the least bit concerned about me. Maybe if those shouts weren’t loud enough to let sister hear them, sister wouldn’t even know that I’ve already returned. Sister also seldom talks to our parents and even neglects her relatives, so sister must definitely possess heavy things on her mind.” Ye Wu Chen secretly muttered: “In our world, this was called psychological barriers, a serious focus of mental illness.”

“How many women have tried climbing up to riches at all costs? For most women, becoming a maid of the Ye family would be attractive to them. But sister had been born standing at a position that most women wouldn’t even dare to look at, and now……. I think that there’s nothing that can touch sister, sister rejects her own identity and power within Tian Long Country as one of the Ye family and wants to lead a simple and peaceful life, but she sister’s identity is destined not to change, so you could only feel depression in your heart, and over time, your heart slowly closed up.”

Ye Shui Yao gently closed her eyes and sadly said: “I didn’t expect that the person that would be able to understand my heart would be you.”

“That’s only natural, because we’re brother and sister!” Ye Wu Chen laughed and said, just like how a good younger brother would.

Ye Shui Yao didn’t speak, flashing a pair of beautiful eyes like a pool of crystal clear water, they were lovely and touching.

“1 year ago, I suddenly disappeared from the Ye family, if one isn’t a fool, one can see that there’s a force aimed towards my Ye family. Not mentioning what this force is, if I had truly died like that, the result would be; there would be no one besides from sister to continue the future generation, but sister isn’t only a woman, you’re also famous for being an ascetic with a pure heart, with no one else to continue the future generation, it’s simply impossible to not receive support from the Ye family, thinking about this in this way, who would benefit the most?” Ye Wu Chen casually said.

Ye Shui Yao slightly narrowed her eyebrows, and her lip gently opened: “You mean…… Little Yun?”

Ye Wu Chen didn’t reply, and continued talking instead: “So in the end, who’s targeting my Ye family? At the present in Tian Long City, which person doesn’t know that the Ye family is contending against the Li family and the Hua family, and that the Ye family and the Lin family are usually on bad terms, not long ago, I talked with an old man that lived in seclusion for the past 15 years about the affairs in Tian Long City, and he told me that within the few strong powers, the strongest were the Ye family, but he didn’t even mention the Lin family, this means that the Lin family didn’t even enter his eyes 15 years ago, but they developed this quickly in a mere 15 years, and now whether it be in financial resources, power, or prestige, they’re already strong enough to contend against our Ye family, So in this case, what is the force that is supporting the Lin family? And why is the Lin family’s development this rapid? And they’re even intentionally provoking our Ye family, are there really no reason for all of this?”

Ye Shui Yao: “……”

“Now, even though the Lin family’s Lin Kuang have also achieved a few meritorious military achievements, they’re still extremely far off when compared to our Ye family. And after, Lin Kuang’s daughter, which is now the Lin family’s family head, Lin Zhan’s younger sister, Lin Xiu became the present queen, the Lin family also continued rising, yet the speed of their rise is still a bit too fast, but if the imperial family is behind them and is sparing no effort in pushing them, then this would provide a lot of explanations.”

Regarding the basic information about the Lin family, Ye Wu Chen casually asked when he and Wang Wen Shu were walking towards his courtyard, and because he’s Wang Wen Shu’s “son”, she naturally answered all of his questions.

Ye Shui Yao’s eyes shrank slightly and she flatly said: “What do you want to say?”

“I’m saying that, the Ye family’s power is extremely big, but they don’t know how to keep a low profile and exercise restraint, they don’t know that their high achievements usually gather jealousy to the owner. At the present, the Ye family barely holds one third of the total military power in the entire Tian Long Country, and they gained even more prestige by producing two valiant generals within two generations, no one can compare to them and even most of the soldiers would be proud to serve under the generals of the Ye family. Because the Ye family is this powerful, how can the emperor remain calm? If I were the emperor, I would hide behind my title as the emperor and the first thing that I would do would be to suppress the Ye family. This is only natural because the Ye family is too powerful, and even though the Ye family is loyal and have performed countless of outstanding military services, he still can’t fall out with them, therefore…… he helped a family rise to power and contend against the Ye family so that they would lose their independence, and afterwards, he would use a quiet method to control the Ye family in his hands, and this would be the perfect result.”

Ye Shui Yao: “……”

Chapter 34 – Ye Shui Yao

Ye Shui Yao’s and Wu Chen’s courtyard were only separated by a wall, but it was somewhat beyond Ye Wu Chen’s expectations that the front courtyard’s layout was actually much more simpler than his, on the bare ground, there was only a stone table which was surrounded by 4 chairs, and at the side there was a clean pond, within the pond, there was a slanted green lotus, which were budding, and apart from that, there weren’t anything else.

And furthermore, it was too quiet here, as if there weren’t anyone staying here.

Ye Wu Chen looked around, the corner of his mouth revealed a warm smile, and he led Ning Xue towards the lightly closed room in the middle, and afterwards gently pushed open the door.

“Get out!”

He had not yet entered when he heard a cold and emotionless voice from inside, it became quiet again afterwards and there weren’t any other sounds.

Ning Xue stopped walking and questioningly looked at her brother, and afterwards Ye Wu Chen lightly pulled her inside. Ye Wu Chen walked without hesitation, as if he didn’t even hear that cold voice.

A faint fragrance of a woman gently brushed on him, Ye Wu Chen lightly inhaled as his eyes swept through a girl’s bedroom, and afterwards, he looked towards the back of the room and he saw a girl. She wore a blue dress that was long enough to cover her legs, her dark and gorgeous hair was casually draped over her shoulder, and she had a slender waist and a delicate figure, her tall figure wasn’t any shorter than Ye Wu Chen’s.

Ye Wu Chen couldn’t help secretly gasping in admiration, she was truly worthy of being called one of the 3 most beautiful girls in Tian Long Country, he had only seen her back but it was enough to stop time. She was only 19 years old but she already had such a figure that would be difficult to find in other women. Although she seemed a bit thin to Ye Wu Chen, but her height…… using his memories to calculate, was around 175 centimeters.

At this moment, a white roll of paper was spread out in front of her and her hand was softly painting, she heard the sounds of footsteps but she didn’t turn around, and she coldly repeated: “Get out!”

“Is that all you have to say to your brother? You didn’t even know if I was still alive for a year, but my sister doesn’t even want to welcome me, and is asking me to leave instead. Ah, it truly saddens this brother.” Ye Wu Chen admired her gently like a jade, she had a white, proud, and slender body that exposed half of a tender, snow white neck, as he bitterly said. He couldn’t call other people as his parents, but calling her sister was very easy.

The girl’s arm stopped and she finally turned around. Ye Wu Chen could finally see her true face, and for a moment, he suddenly felt that the world became brighter, it was as if a stone was thrown within the lake in his heart which caused countless of ripples. Her face was incomparably delicate, her eyebrows were slender and she had a beautiful body, her majestic eyes looked at him as if she was gazing at the earth from above, it was as if she was a fairy overlooking this mundane world. Even though her light blue dress was slightly too large, her chest still prominently bulged, Ye Wu Chen couldn’t help staring for a moment as if he had a heart attack.

But the anger covering her cold face weren’t thin and she was releasing a cold and distant feeling. Even though she saw her younger brother that were believed to have been dead for a year, she still didn’t show the slightest amount of happiness on her face and her delicate eyebrows narrowed instead, because a man had never entered her room before, not even her brother and father. And furthermore, she had a strange feeling as her brother stood in front of her; it was as if he was completely different.

“It’s good that you have returned, now get out.”

She glanced at Ye Wu Chen and Ning Xue, looked away afterwards, and after coldly saying a few words, she turned around again. Even Ning Xue’s snow-white hair and spoilt appearance didn’t even attract her eyes; it seemed as if nothing in the world would be able to make ripples in her heart.

Ye Wu Chen shrugged…… his mother had talked about his sister, but this sister could be compared to an ice sculpture, and furthermore it was even hard to melt.

He couldn’t help remembering what Long Zhen Yang had bitterly said before, even though he was the prince, Ye Shui Yao never even glanced at him.

At this moment she began to paint gently, her paint brush moved as if it was dancing and a magnificent mountain peak appeared on the paper, she drew each peak from the base of the mountain to the summit, from the bottom to the top of the paper; a steep cliff completely occupied the scene. This was only a 19 year old girl but regardless of her strokes or the luster of ink, her movements were already on the boundaries of a great master. Under her hands, the mountain peak came to life and it exuded a majestic atmosphere, if a person were to look at it, he would feel as if he were in front of a mountain himself with his head raised in admiration.

Ye Wu Chen couldn’t help secretly shaking his head; even though she had skillful brushwork, it lacked a spiritually moving air, and even though her painting looked extremely real, it was a bit rigid. Perhaps this was true for most people of the world and even his fairly like sister wasn’t an exception.

“Women often love to paint flowers and rivers but they rarely like to paint mountains, a proud and Majestic Mountain may not be right for you, if you yearn for the peaceful mountains and a secluded life, your brother can take you sightseeing, there’s no need to stay in your room and focus on painting.” Ye Wu Chen gently said and shook his head and sighed afterwards: “Sister even though your painting skills have already reached perfection, and there are few people that can exceed you, but…… unfortunately, your artistic conception is far from satisfactory.”

Ye Shui Yao turned a deaf ear to him and her hands continued to stroke but her eyebrows lightly narrowed for a moment.

Suddenly, a shadow flashed in front of her, and a pair of soft hands already covered her right hand, she unconsciously pulled out her hand and she almost coldly called out, but she found out that her paint brush were already in Ye Wu Chen hands, she didn’t know when her table had been covered with a piece of white paper, hiding her unfinished painting.

“When painting a mountain and a mountain peak, if you draw the earth and the sky, you won’t even need to paint the complete picture of a mountain.”

As he was talking, his right hand had already began to sway rapidly, his sight hanged low, his expression was tranquil, and he had a faint smile on his face, Ye Shui Yao became entranced for a moment, and unexpectedly didn’t say anything, but when her sight fell on the painting, her eyes became filled with shock.

Ye Shui Yao’s eyes suddenly released splendor, he didn’t draw a mountain and a mountain peak and he only drew a faint outline of a sea of clouds looming over a mountain summit, but people couldn’t help imagining impressive high ridges and peaks due to the spectacular clouds, compared to her paper completely filled with the mountain peak, it was simply a complete picture of a majestic mountain, the difference in artistic conception was truly as different as the sky and the earth.

And the whole painting, he only took less than a minute!

“The secret of the form of the mountain is in the edge of the clouds, it’s better than a steep 10,000 feet! To paint a mountain, you must first paint the clouds.” Ye Wu Chen slightly smiled, he moistened the paint brush again and returned it to Ye Shui Yao’s hands afterwards, and at the same time, his palm automatically stroked the back of her hand. Her hands were as tender as snow and warm as jade.

Chapter 33 – Premonitory-Power of his soul

“Chen’er, this is the small courtyard where you used to stay, and in the future, this is where you and Ning Xue will be living together.”

It was a large courtyard, there were more than a dozen amply sized rooms, and there were also a long pavilion, a pond, a small garden, fruit trees, and a grape rack filled with everything they needed. It would be very difficult for an ordinary wealthy family to have a home such as this, but this was merely one of the many courtyards of the Ye Mansion.

“Even though you’ve been absent for a year, mother still visited and cleaned it every after several days.” Wang Wen Shu had a happy face, for her, cleaning that room was a form of happiness.

“Chen’er, this is your bedroom, the bedroom and the study is connected, but you rarely went to the library before. However, mother knows that was only because of your poor health.”

After opening the door, Ye Wu Chen became quite surprised. The courtyard was rather simply decorated, but the interior was very luxurious, even the hanging wind chimes were absolutely extraordinary, it was the first time Ye Wu Chen saw this kind of pure antiquity and even Ning Xue’s eyes were wide open, her shining eyes constantly flashed with splendor.

“Ning Xue will sleep in the next room ok? I’ll go and get some people to clean it again.” Wang Wen Shu lightly bent down and asked. She knew that this girl looks after his son and had even saved his life, so she naturally also loves her, and even wants to adopt her as her daughter.

“No need, me and Ning Xue will be fine sleeping on a single bed.” Said Ye Wu Chen.

“Eh…… Ah? A single bed?” Wang Wen Shu hesitated at first, but afterwards, she stutteringly said: “Chen’er, you…… you probably don’t have that kind of hobby right?…… this is……”

“Being fond of a woman’s body doesn’t matter, which man isn’t romantic?…… But, Ning Xue is really too small, she’s only about 10 years old…… this is practically committing a sin AH!” Wang Wen Shu was drenched in sweat, and she subconsciously looked at Ning Xue. At this moment, Ning Xue’s innocent eyes were curiously looking at her panic stricken expression, and she couldn’t find any signs on her body that she had been defiled.

Wang Wen Shu became secretly relieved that it was just her misunderstanding, they probably didn’t have a home before and they probably slept outside, so they became accustomed to snuggling against each other…… My pitiful child. As she thought about that, her heart couldn’t help but turn sour, her expression quickly changed and she said: “It’s all right, Ning Xue and Chen’er can sleep together in this room.”

Ye Wu Chen secretly wiped his cold sweat. He could see in her expression that she had already removed her previous thoughts.

“In that case, wait for a while Chen’er, let mother clean the room first, and then you and Ning Xue can have your first good sleep in a while, it must have been so long since you and Ning Xue had a good rest and ate properly…… Oh, I just remembered, mother will get you some snacks.”

“No need to hurry.” Ye Wu Chen called her and asked: “I heard that, I should also have another sister?”

Wang Wen Shu nodded and rebukingly said: “Yes, she lives at the courtyard next to you, but she’s used to acting cold, she knows that chen’er has returned but she’s still unwilling to visit, ahhh, this child. Do you want mother to bring you to your older sister?”

Even though her voice was rebuking, it didn’t show much on her face, as if she was already accustomed to it. Although Long Zheng Yang had already told Ye Wu Chen that the Ye family’s only daughter, Ye Shui Yao, had a cold personality, but she didn’t even came to meet her younger brother that had been lost for a year, and she didn’t even show her face, it seems that her coldness was really a bit excessive.

“No, Ning Xue and I will go visit ourselves.”

“Well, that’s ok. Mother will prepare some refreshments first, a few people came by again.” Wang Wen Shu had just finished speaking but she had already hurriedly gone out.

Come Xue’er, We’re going to see a pretty big sister.

Ning Xue lightly said “En”, she slightly bent her head down and allowed him to pull her small hands.

“Xue’er, what are you thinking about? Did brother say something bad?” Ye Wu Chen walked with a smile and said.

“I…… Brother, I will only get you in trouble and I will only drag you down.” Ye Ning Xue hung her head in shame, not daring to raise her head and look at him, whether it was the conflict with the little princess or the conflict with Ye Wu Yun, she knew that it was all because of her. Even though it seems like she’s only a young and simple girl, her mind was much more mature than other girls of the same age.

“Nonsense! How would that be possible, Ning Xue is the most important person in my life, so how could you possibly be a burden? If you say this kind of thing again, I’ll definitely be very upset.”

He knew that if he took Ning Xue by his side, the color of her hair and her face would definitely lead him to all kinds of troubles, this was why he originally left her behind, but now, he no longer had any thoughts about temporarily separating with her, he’d rather keep her by his side and protect her from any hardships, even if he had to do it using any means necessary.”

“But, because of me, brother hit his own elder brother, all because of me… …”

Ye Wu Chen stopped walking, he crouched down and held her face, and whispered: “Xue’er, you are the closest person to me, how can that person possibly be my brother? furthermore……” Wu Chen disdainfully sneered and continued talking: “He actually lured me into hitting him on purpose, because he’s pretty shrewd, he saw how important Xue’er was to me, and he thought he could provoke me into hitting him, so I rewarded him with a slap in the face.”

“Not brother’s…… brother? But……”

“Not only him, everyone here isn’t my family. Do you still remember what grandpa Chu had said? I had been in a coma for 10 years, but the young master of the Ye family had only been lost 1 year ago, so how can I be their lost family?” Ye Wu Chen slowly explained to Ning Xue, he wouldn’t, and doesn’t need to hide anything from Ning Xue.

“That’s…… Brother is lying to them?” Ning Xue asked in a whisper.

Wu Chen smiled and said: “Yes, I was lying to them, because Xue’er and I need to have a home and an identity, which is the only way that I can take better care of Xue’er and search for my past self. And consequently, fate gave me this identity from the Ye family, but I will also do a few things for the Ye family, because as it looks right now, the Ye family is facing a huge crisis.”

“Brother’s past? Brother how will you find your past self?”

Ye Wu Chen’s brows slightly twisted, he thought for a moment and said: “Xue’er, do you believe in premonitions?”

Ning Xue blinked, not knowing how to answer.

“1 month ago, during the first time I saw Xue’er, at that time I had a strange feeling —— if I didn’t find you and bring you back, I would regret it forever. Half a month ago, I previously felt that I would encounter a large calamity, and afterwards, I really almost died. At the present, Long Zheng Yang and i…… that is, your brother long and I were talking when I heard him mention the Ye family, at that time, I had a strange feeling that I would definitely use a type of special method to join the Ye family. All of these came true…… and whenever I try hard to remember my past, a voice tells me that if I could handle the power within my body, which I named “Wu Chen Spell”, and if I could train it to the highest level, I could find my past and return to my original family. These strange feelings sometimes appear and sometimes they don’t, it’s illusionary and it seems like it comes from the depths of my soul. I haven’t lost that part of my memories, this is a special type of power called ‘Soul force’, I can use this power to manipulate my own or possibly even other people’s souls, and even peek at their memories or alter them, maybe even this amazing premonition is another form of soul force.”

Ning Xue blinked, she didn’t really understand, but the anxiety and guilt on her face had already disappeared. Ye Wu Chen softly said: “Xue’er, brother’s matters, you must keep it all a secret, ok?”

“En!” Ning Xue nodded: “I will definitely keep brother’s secrets and I will definitely won’t tell anyone.”

Heavenly Star – Chapter 32

2017-05-04T06:29:00.000-07:00

Chapter 32 – Conspiracy

“Young master, the entire Ye Mansion knows that you have a gentle, tolerant, and kind personality, not only to the Ye family, you even treat the servants as your brothers. Most of the time, the old master ignores the matters of the Ye family, so over the past few years, who handled the matters of the Ye family? It was you! But what has that small young master accomplished? Previously, all he did was lie on his bed and eat, even I looked down upon him, and he would’ve been better off having a clean death. At that time, the young master worked hard all the time to take care of him and the Ye family, and now that he has returned, he slapped the young master just because of a trifling matter, truly ungrateful… …”

“Shut up!” Ye Wu Yun angrily interrupted him, and afterwards, quickly glanced around, then whispered: “Little Wu, I know that you are angry about my injustice, but younger brother Wu Chen is the only scion of the Ye family after all, he will become the only master of the Ye family in the future, And I…… in the end, I’m nothing more than step father’s adopted son, and no matter what method I use or how much I work hard, I can’t change that fact. Otherwise, grandfather wouldn’t have told me to be patient with him when younger brother Wu Chen slapped me in the face. But after all, they are a family, and I…… I’m only a stranger AH! So, this is not strange and it is only natural.”

Ye Wu Yun shook his head and his mouth exposed a helpless and bitter smile, but he immediately erased it, and he smiled and said: “However, to have this kind of step grandfather and step father, I’m already very satisfied, they rescued my life, gave me a home, and now I have all of you as part of my family, even if I sacrifice my life, it still wouldn’t be enough to repay them, so what more of this little grievance.”

(TL Note: be careful not to confuse Ye Wu with Ye Wu Yun.)

Ye Wu felt a little sour and he felt wronged in place of the young master, the phrase “You are all my closest family” made his heart tremble. When he was apprehensive during the time when he was being hired as a servant by the Ye family, he had never been the subject of rumors among the servants and had never been insulted, oppressed, or even beaten and scolded, because he was a follower of the Young master. Ye Wu Yun wasn’t like an ordinary son of a noble which was overbearing, lazy, and bossy, but rather, he was very capable, calm, and good-natured, it was extremely rare to see him scold a servant, even if the servant made a mistake, he would show a smile to encourage them. During the times when they were taking a leave to visit their relatives, he would secretly send them several times more money to take home to their families. In his eyes, servants weren’t servants, but a part of his family instead. Ye Wu could always clearly remember that year in autumn, when the family went out to admire the full moon, Ye Wu Yun called and gathered all of the servants, and afterwards, they put a table and ate moon cakes, at that time, he didn’t know how many of the servants cried as they ate.(TL Note: Mid-autumn festival reference)

Ye Wu were convinced that he was the world’s best master, and that being able to follow the young master was the luckiest thing that happened in his life, so he gave him his complete loyalty and he would willingly follow him to the death. Previously, when he was outside the hall and he heard that Ye Wu Yun got slapped, he almost couldn’t help recklessly charging to his master and falling out with the small young master.

He firmly said: “Young master, you can rest assured, we all know who is better for us, who is better for the Ye family, and who is truly qualified to be the future master of the Ye family, if he bullies young master again, even if we lose our jobs, we still won’t stand by idly!”

“Nonsense!” Ye Wu Yun’s face sank, and he weakly waved his hand, saying: “Don’t talk about this matter again, just do your job well and don’t worry about other matters. If you offend younger brother Wu Chen, I won’t be able to save you. Little Wu, you still have a blind mother and a seriously ill younger brother at home, and they usually rely on you to support them. I know that you are just being good to me, but don’t be impulsive and accidentally harm your own family.”

Ye Wu felt painful in his heart, but he was unable to say a word. Even when the young master had suffered such a large injustice, he still remained concerned about his servants, he even perfectly knew about the situation of his family.

“Hey! I heard that the owner of the 37th store at the south of the city became seriously ill yesterday, they said that he wouldn’t make it, is there anyone there to take care of the arrangements?” Ye Wu Yun asked to change the topic, unexpectedly, he didn’t want to continue talking about their previous topic.

“Well, there isn’t, there’s only 3 people left over there.”

“Go and get… … never mind, I’ll go personally, I need to take care of a little matter at the south of the city. Little Wu, come and take me back in the morning to check the accounts.” After Ye Wu Yun finished explaining, he turned around and walked towards the door.

“Young master, your face……”

“hehe, it doesn’t matter.”

Ye Wu stayed for a little while, and afterwards, he returned to the small young master’s courtyard even though he still felt indignant.

…………………

In a dark room.

“How did it go? Humph! You don’t even need to reply, your face has already told me the answer. Damned thing! Give me an explanation!”

“Calm down master… … but, he definitely died that day, this is definitely true, no one had ever been able to escape once they got caught in that dreadful swamp, I even watched him sink before I left. This…… this servant is incompetent, please punish me master.”

“…… I heard that, he wore a sword deity’s ring on his left hand?”

“Yes master, you already know the original owner?”

“Humph! Never mind how I know. If that is truly the case, then it wouldn’t be strange, if it’s a sword deity, he could bring him back to life even if he was truly dead, and pulling him out of that swamp would be even easier. We can only say that this person is playing with fate.”

“Thank… … thank you for being lenient master. Please give me a month’s time, this servant will definitely manage it well.”

“Don’t do anything. Since he became a sword deity’s disciple, if we touch him again, it’s very likely that the sword deity will come out of obscurity, and if he investigates, how will we resist?”

“What? Could it be that even master is… … is also afraid of the sword deity?”

“Humph! You’re just a junior, how could you possibly know the extent of a sword deity’s power. He hasn’t appeared for nearly 20 years now, he must have definitely became even stronger, let alone me, even the Southern emperor sect and the Northern emperor sect would also never dare to provoke him rashly.”

“This is…… master, don’t tell me that we can only watch helplessly……”

“No! Although we can’t touch him, we can have others do it for us, in this way, he won’t be able to track us down even if he investigates. Humph! It’s only regretful that the servant girl from the Ye family didn’t use enough poison, if that baby had immediately died while he was still in his mother’s stomach, then we wouldn’t have such a complicated problem right now.”

“Master is wise!”

“Since he’s a sword deity’s disciple…… have you seen his strength?”

“Answering master’s question, there were no signs of energy undulations in his body. I had provoked him to slap me, and even under his anger, he still didn’t reveal any power, one can easily see that he probably doesn’t possess any strength, and moreover, he’s easy to anger, he’s impatient, he shows his joy and anger on his face, and he doesn’t have any subtlety, it will be easy to break his mind, so he should be easy to deal with.”

“…… it seems like, he might really be just a wind sorcerer.”

“Wind sorcerer?”

“That’s right, he had previously used a low-level wind magic, I didn’t expect that this sickly garbage would actually possess a rare magic constitution, it gave me a surprise .”

“But how can a sword deity’s disciple be a sorcerer? It doesn’t make any sense.”

“We can’t reach a conclusion for now, you’ll need to keep observing him before we can discuss this again. Return back early, if you stay for too long, it’ll be easy for us to meet with suspicions.”

“Yes, excuse this servant.”

Chapter 31 – A Slap on the face

“hehe, I can find his location after about 10 days. Moreover, if you could start cultivating your spirit again, you’ll be able to live comfortably for the rest of your life. Chen’er, although the power in your body doesn’t fluctuate anymore, the sword deity must still handle your training, and after you start cultivating, you will be sure to rapidly become an expert in the Dao of the sword, I didn’t expect that a sword deity would choose my grandson as his disciple, he has good eyes, he has very good eyes!” Ye Nu’s face barely concealed his pride: “A sword deity lives a life of traveling and does not like getting involved with ordinary people, but unexpectedly, he allowed others to know his current location. Chen’er, did he mention who originally took you?”

“No, when he found me, I was already in a coma, and after I woke up, I had already forgotten everything.” said Ye Wu Chen. These words weren’t completely false, he just didn’t say how long he was in a coma.

Ye Wei solemnly nodded at him: “We will definitely investigate this matter, after he dared act against our Ye family, I will definitely not let him off easily.” He turned to Ye Wu Yun: “Yun’er, take care of Chen’er and keep him company… …” and he whispered afterwards: “Grudges between brothers is definitely not good.”

Ye Wu Yun’s head was half bent, and people couldn’t see that his expression had changed. But he agreed, and walked in front of Ye Wu Chen and said: “Younger brother Wu Chen, the events just a moment ago was this elder brother’s fault, please don’t take it to heart. As of now, younger brother Wu Chen has not just safely returned, you also became a sword deity’s disciple, this elder brother is truly overjoyed and envious.”

“It’s okay, what you did was also for the sake of the entire Ye family, I have already forgotten what happened previously, in the future, I’ll have to trouble you to teach me about the areas that I don’t understand.” Ye Wu Chen turned around and were smiling as he talked, his face had a good-natured expression.

“We are brothers, so we should naturally help one another and support the Ye family together, but what would you need me to teach you? Oh, by the way brother Wu Chen, who is this white haired little sister?”

“She is my adopted little sister, her name is Ning Xue.”

Ye Wu Yun lightly nodded and carefully said: “Brother Wu Chen, would you allow this older brother to take this little sister out of the city and put her for adoption? Because this type of white hair can only be seen on a savage man-eating snow wolf and her face is also very frightening, this kind of ugly girl could become the subject of malicious rumors and negatively affect our Ye family.”

Ye Wu Chen always had a smiling expression as he waited for him to finish talking, and afterwards, he took a few small steps forward, and slowly said: “Who were you calling an ugly girl?”

He had just barely finished speaking, when he suddenly raised his arm without warning, and afterwards, a loud “Pa” sound echoed, Ye Wu Yun had been hit on the face with an extremely resounding slap, caught unprepared, the slap stupefied Ye Wu Yun, he withdrew two steps backwards and immediately fell on the floor, his eyes were looking at him with disbelief.

“Presumptuous!”

Ye Nu angrily shouted, and Ye Wei’s brows were also fiercely knit, Wang Wen Shu quickly stepped forward to help him get up, and she anxiously said: “Chen’er, even if he was wrong, he is still your older brother, how could you… … quickly apologize to your brother.”

She had hurriedly scolded Ye Wu Chen because his grandfather’s anger was no joke, but Ye Wu Chen acted like he didn’t hear her, he was gently rubbing his slightly sore hand, this slap didn’t contain the power of his Wu Chen spell and only relied on his own strength, he had exhausted all of his strength and his face were starting to redden. He coldly watched Ye Wu Yun get up and calmly said: “Bear this in your mind, I will not recognize you as my elder brother, even if you are truly my brother, if you dare speak about Ning Xue like that, I will still thrash you!!”

He picked Ning Xue up and coldly said: “two weeks ago, when my life was hanging by a thread, Ning Xue risked her life to steal a Heavenly beast’s egg to save my life. I wouldn’t exist without Ning Xue! She is not just my younger sister, she is my life, anyone who dares to make her unhappy, I will make him suffer for his entire life.”

“Heavenly Beast’s egg?” Ye Nu forgot his anger and he sucked in a breath of air, stealing a Heavenly beast’s egg was an extremely insane act, even the 3 Heavenly ranked expert that their internal palace worshipped would not dare to act that rashly, because that would draw the Heavenly beast’s fury and they would have to risk their life to fight it.

The way they looked at this restless and timid looking girl immediately changed, the traces of rejection that they subconsciously had completely disappeared and were replaced by gratefulness and surprise, because, if what Ye Wu Chen had said was really true, that would mean that she’s actually a huge benefactor of the Ye family, therefore, Ye Nu’s anger had already completely faded, but he still said: “Chen’er, apologize to your older brother, after all he didn’t mean any harm, and he is still your older brother. This is the end of this matter. In the future, Ning Xue can stay here… … and live in the courtyard together with you.”

Ye Wu Yun covered his face and ashamedly said: “No, the one to apologize should be me, I deserved this slap, I shouldn’t have said those things.”

Ye Wu Chen looked at him with a faint smile, and afterwards, he turned around and walked out of the hall: “I’m tired.”

Wang Wen Shu quickly followed behind him: “Chen’er, I’m going to tidy up your room, get some rest early, but you have to properly talk with mama in the evening ok?

Only 3 persons remained in the hall, Ye Nu had a loving expression as he said: Yun’er, you are good and very obedient, but he had been taken away from us after all, so he has been neglected, we must carefully make it up to him, but don’t feel wronged Yun’er.”

Ye Wu Yun shook his head and smiled: “it’s alright grandfather, my debt to the Ye family is as heavy as a mountain, even if I sacrifice my life, I still wouldn’t be able to repay it, and furthermore, this was originally my fault.”

“But Alas! Chen’er’s personality has changed greatly, if we hadn’t tested his blood before, I almost wouldn’t have recognized my own grandson.” Ye Nu laughed and said. He clearly didn’t reject the “Changes in his personality”, but felt overjoyed instead. Previously, Ye Wu Chen could only lie in bed and even talking would leave him gasping for breath, his character was weak, and when he occasionally recovered a little strength, he still wouldn’t dare to leave his home, having this kind of a son was truly a misfortune for the Ye family, but now, Ye Wu Chen had not only became a sword deity’s disciple, he also became calm and unyielding, that slap that he displayed showed that he was fierce and cruel if he were offended, and he truly couldn’t be compared with the previous Ye Wu Chen.

When Ye Wu Yun had walked out of the hall, the right side of his face still had a distinct red mark, the Ye Mansion’s servants and guards showed expressions of sympathy, but Ye Wu Yun turned towards them and smiled good-naturedly, and afterwards, slightly shook his head to say that he didn’t mind it.

His 5 attendants were following closely behind him, they glanced behind them, and afterwards, scowled as they said: “Young master, I heard that the small young master had unexpectedly… … unexpectedly slapped the young master, this is going too far.”

Ye Wu Yun indifferently laughed: “It was my fault for saying something wrong, what he did wasn’t strange.”

“Said something wrong? The Young master is an intelligent person! Young master simply didn’t know where that small white haired girl came from, even if you tried to drive her away, he shouldn’t have hit the young master! He… … he simply doesn’t even care about his relationship with his older brother.” Ye Wu Yun’s 5 attendants indignantly said.

Ye Wu Yun was silent for a moment, and he sighed: “Don’t mention this matter again.”

Chapter 30 – The Sword deity’s ring

Ye Wu Chen was coldly silent, and Ye Wei was only staring at him, but suddenly, the knife in his right hand suddenly swung, the knife emitted a silver light and became nailed to the floor, and at the same time, the forefinger on Ye Wu Chen’s left hand was cut, Ye Wei extended his hand as fast as lightning and grabbed Wu Chen’s left hand with an iron grip, and a drop of blood fell from his hand into the bowl.

“Ah!” Wang Wen Shu cried out in pain, the cut on Wu Chen’s hand had also put a cut on her heart, she ferociously slapped Ye Wei’s hand open and pitifully looked at the small cut on Ye Wu Chen’s hand, she didn’t even have any intention of looking at the bowl. But immediately afterwards, Wu Chen’s hand was grabbed by Ning Xue, she put his finger into her mouth and sucked gently, while sucking, she lovingly said: “Brother, does it hurt?”

“No, it doesn’t hurt at all.” Wu Chen gently stroked her hair and said softly. Wang Wen Shu looked at him confusedly, because her recently regained son even had his personality change, he became extremely cold and detached, so cold that even she herself had never seen him laugh or smile, and only when he was with this young girl, Ning Xue, did he reveal his gentle side. Even the white haired girl had “reluctant to part with him” written on her face, because her eyes were always only looking at him, and she always clings to him whenever she can.

“Little sister, can you tell auntie your name?” Wang Wen Shu bent over and asked.

“Her name is Ning Xue, I made her my little sister.” Ye Wu Chen replied, but his eyes didn’t move, he was captivatedly looking at Ning Xue that was sucking his finger. He was only acting before, in his heart, he had already decided to stay at the Ye family because he needs an identity, and furthermore, Ning Xue also needs a home. But in the end, this family that fate sent him was fake, in his heart, the only person that he could treat sincerely was Ning Xue, she was his most important person in the world.

“Chen’er, does it still hurt?” Wang Wen Shu got up and asked.

Ye Wu Chen shook his head.

“Chen’er you can rest assured, I will definitely give your father a harsh scolding.” Wang Wen Shu turned around, looked at Ye Wei, and fiercely said.

But at this moment, Ye Wei was attentively watching the small bowl in his hand, the two drops of blood were moving slowly, and unexpectedly, they looked like they were being drawn to each other, and afterwards, they slowly began to combine until they were completely fused. Ye Nu were watching this scene, and beside his neck, Ye Wu Yun had also seen it clearly.

When the last traces of doubts had finally been removed, Ye Wei breathed a long sigh of relief at last. Although he had always been enduring it, he was still afraid, because if he had not gotten the result that he wanted, he might have been struck by another heavy blow again. The small bowl in his hand had already been thrown out the hall, and when he saw the face of his fierce wife, he was in a very good mood and he could only laugh stupidly, because he could no longer talk.

“This is great… … we finally got Chen’er back, but the first thing his father did was to cut him with a knife, what kind of father acts like this! I see that you still want to explain yourself, so you will get no food today and tomorrow.”

Ye Wei’s shoulder shrank and he began to beg for forgiveness: “Shu’er, I only did this for the sake of the Ye family …. …. Just for today, just for today ok?”

“Want to beg for mercy? Then go to Chen’er and ask for forgiveness.”

Ye Wei turned to Wu Chen and said: “Chen’er, I was a little excessive just a while ago… …”

“I understand.” Ye Wu Chen expressionlessly said: “You can think of me as part of the family, but, I can’t treat you as my family, or at least… … before I recover my memories, I can’t. Can you understand that?”

He did not belong to this world, within his memories of earth contained his true parents. Before he found them, how could he call others as his parents?

He only needs an identity, and he just happened to receive this identity at the same time, his arrival had also erased the grief and sorrow of the Ye family due to losing their son. While he was using this identity, he would act as the Ye family’s son to repay them.

That tone and that kind of expression had never appeared on their son’s face before. Ye Wei didn’t reply, Ye Nu came to Wu Chen and patted his shoulders: “My child, Your father and I was wrong, we should not have doubted you. You may rest assured, we will not force you, because I believe that after a bit of time, and even if you still haven’t remembered us yet, you would still willingly call me grandpa, hehehehe!”

Suddenly, Ye Nu’s eyes became a fierce stare and the smile on his face froze. He fiercely grabbed Ye Wu Chen’s left hand, and his eyes were firmly fixed at the black ring on Wu Chen’s finger, he exclaimed: “Sword deity’s ring.”

“What!?” Ye Wei was also surprised, he had never seen before what a sword deity’s ring looked like, but how could he not have heard of it? According to rumors, this represented the sword deity’s disciple and someone that was extremely likely to become the next sword deity of the Tian Chen Continent.

“Yes, I am definitely not mistaken, this is truly a sword deity’s ring!” whispered Ye Nu, afterwards, he let go of Ye Wu Chen’s hand and laughed: “So that was it, HA HA HA HA! Chen’er must have been abducted by a villain, and he was rescued by the Sword deity Chu Cang Ming afterwards. A sword deity has immensely powerful abilities, improving Wu Chen’s physique would only be a simple matter for him. And this ring shows that Chen’er has already been recognized by the sword deity as his only disciple… … This is a blessing in disguise! HA HA HA HA!”

Ye Nu kept laughing, he was from the same generation of the Sword deity Chu Cang Ming, so he was quite sure what the “Sword deity” and the “Sword deity’s ring” meant. In Tian Long City, a sword deity was a “God” , even the royal family would never have the courage to provoke a sword deity, with a sword deity’s ring, they could even go on a rampage on Tian Long county, and anyone that wants to go against them, would first have to consider the sword deity that was backing them.

Ye Wu Chen smiled, but he did not have any reason to explain.

“Chen’er is… … a sword deity’s disciple?” Wang Wen Shu couldn’t believe it and she repeated it again, but inside, she was feeling delightedly excited. Sword deity’s disciple —— these 3 words held heavier weight than those of a prince or a princess, and if he truly becomes a sword deity in the future, his status in Tian Long Country would even surpass the emperor’s. Because an emperor was only a man and a sword deity was a “God” in the eyes of ordinary people.

Ye Wei was also smiling, being reunited with his son was already a huge surprise, he didn’t expect that he would have another pleasant surprise once again. The son that he had lost 1 year ago became a sword deity’s disciple and returned, he suddenly felt that the pain that they suffered for a year was definitely worth it. His only regret was that Wu Chen’s memories were only from a month before, because he couldn’t track down who took him. He asked: “Chen’er, did your Senior Sword Deity give you this ring? Where is he now?”

Ye Wu Chen nodded: “Senior Sword Deity really gave it to me, but unfortunately, I just met him half a month after I woke up, as for where he is… … he didn’t want outsiders to know.”

Chapter 29 – Testing his blood

In an unknown area.
“How did this happen? Explain it to me clearly!” in the dark, a cold voice sounded.

“This is impossible, I definitely severed his Qi, furthermore, I secretly threw him in a marsh pond 30 miles away, even if he did not die, it is simply impossible for him to survive.” Another voice promised.

“In other words, this person is fake?”

“That’s right, it is definitely impossible that he is the real one. His voice could have been imitated, furthermore… … it’s easy for some experts to change their appearances. Those marks should also have been copied using a special method. Maybe some powers want to conspire against the Ye family, he was brought back by the crown prince, so maybe… …”

“Humph, you better hope that what you say is true, I had been planning for countless of years, you better not tell me that my plans were ruined in your hands!”

“Please rest assured, the real one is undoubtedly dead, this one is definitely fake.”

……………………

At the Ye Mansion.

The Entirety of the Ye Mansion covered an unusually large area, and courtyards of all shape and sizes covered that area, even though it was not that prominent and luxurious, it still exuded a majestic atmosphere.

Above the hall, Ye Nu’s face was flushed red, as if he suddenly became dozens of years younger, and earlier, he was almost laughing the whole time while they were walking back. If he had a lot of descendants, then maybe losing 1 grandson wouldn’t have been such a heavy blow to him, but Ye Wu Chen was the only scion of the Ye family, and when he lost him, even the incense that they burned completely split, it was absolutely unbearable. But today, not only did he regain his only grandson, even his complexion and spirit were incomparably better than before, and even his face didn’t have a sickly color anymore.

At this moment, the internal hall was quiet, a person dressed like a physician was skillfully holding Wu Chen’s wrist, his eyes were slightly closed, and his face were filled with concentration, after a long time, he laid down his hand and opened his eyes, and afterwards, he faced towards Ye Nu and respectfully said: “Congratulations my lord, young master, and young madam, the young master’s pulse is completely normal and there isn’t any trace of an ailment.

“Really? This is good, this is very good.” Wang Wen Shu stood up excitedly, Ye Wei smiled and nodded, Ye Nu laughed and said “good” 3 times.

They had just brought back Ye Wu Chen, and afterwards, they immediately called their personal physician to examine his health, because nothing was more important than his health.

At this moment, the originally silent Ye Wu Yun suddenly stood up: “Grandfather, I have something to say.”

“Oh? It’s alright to say what’s on your mind Yun’er.” Ye Nu’s face slightly turned serious, because Ye Wu Yun was showing a serious expression, as if it was a very important matter. This was the grandson that he originally adopted and he trusted him quite a lot, he even frequently bemoaned that, why was his abilities so outstanding but he weren’t his own grandson.

He looked at Ye Wu Chen and hesitated, but he clenched his teeth and said: “Yun’er thinks that we should be more cautious about Wu Chen’s identity.”

“Why would you say this?” Ye Nu frowned.

Ye Wu Yun raised his head and said: “Little Brother Wu Chen always had a frail body, we even used countless of rare medicine on him and there weren’t even any improvements, but this person doesn’t look sickly at all, this is very strange, and furthermore, even his amnesia is weird. I believe that we should not accept his identity for the time being, I am worried that someone might be impersonating Wu Chen, and afterwards, pretended to lose his memories to avoid showing flaws in his act. Because, no matter how easy it is to change appearances or to counterfeit the marks… …”

“Absolutely Disgraceful!”

Ye Nu’s shout had interrupted Ye Wu Yun, Wang Wen Shu looked outraged and she was glaring at him: “You are in doubt of my son?”

Ye Wu Yun had always been clever since he was a child, and besides being clever, his abilities were also outstanding, during the year that he shielded his husband from a sword, she accepted him into the Ye family and loved him as if he was her son, but after listening to him talk like **, and openly doubt her son, she immediately became furious and harshly scolded him for the first time in many years. (TL Note: Raws say ** again, and idk wtf to put there again)

“No! Yun’er would never dare to, in fact, no one would be happier than me if Brother Wu Chen could return, I have already taken care of Brother Wu Chen for several years and my feelings for him are deep… … However, this event is related to the future of the Ye family, I just think that we shouldn’t be too careless.” Ye Wu Yun hung his head low and said.

Ye Wei kept quiet, and he questioningly looked at Ye Nu. In truth, this cautious general also had his suspicions, because Ye Wu Chen always gave him a strange feeling and he also felt that his personality was a little strange. Ye Nu’s face sank, and he said: “What you said is not unreasonable, in your opinion, what should we do?”

Ye Wu Yun looked at him respectfully and slowly said: “Test his blood.”

Ye Wei and Ye Nu glanced at each other and nodded at the same time.

“The child is already ready.”

Ye Wu Yun turned around and clapped his hands, and very quickly, 5 servants of Ye Wu Yun came with porcelain bowls filled with water, they put the bowls on the small table beside Ye Nu and took out a clean knife afterwards, they respectfully withdrew after they were finished.

“It’s not that we don’t trust him, but we are just being cautious. Shu’er, have you ever thought about, what would you do if Yun’er was really correct?” Ye Wei lightly sighed and said.

“That is impossible!” Wang Wen Shu firmly shook her head: “Chen’er had just returned and you already want to test his blood, this is very unfair.”

Ye Wu Chen stood up expressionlessly and began to pull Ning Xue’s small hand: “Xue’er, we are going to leave ok? Since they do not trust us, there is no reason to stay here, in the future, your brother and Xue’er are going to travel around the world, and we’ll have the sky and the earth as our home.”

“En!” Ning Xue answered clearly and started to leave with Wu Chen, regardless of whether they had a home or not, as long as she could follow her brother, she was okay no matter where they went. (TL Note: not sure if I explained this in earlier chapters, but “En” is like “Okay” in Chinese, but I’ll leave it as En cuz its cuter :3 )

“Chen’er!” Wang Wen Shu called out to him and hastily ran and hugged him from behind, she was afraid that he would truly leave. And at the same time, she yelled: “We have just reunited with Chen’er, how could you doubt him. He’s your own grandson, and my own son! What kind of disguise could imitate him so perfectly? And furthermore, these marks, besides from our Ye family, no one else knows these marks, even Yun’er doesn’t know, so how could other people possibly know? Much less forge them. But, even with this you still doubt him?”

Ye Wu Chen were forced to stop his steps, but he did not look back.

Ye Wei still kept quiet, he picked up the knife and lightly cut the end of his finger, and he watched as a drop of blood fell inside the small bowl, and afterwards, he took the bowl and walked in front of Ye Wu Chen, holding the knife in his palm, his eyes were serious as he looked at him: “it is important that you know this, we do not suspect you, I only have 1 son, and the Ye family only has 1 scion, we see you as our life, I hope that you can understand this father’s actions.”

A man’s viewpoint and emotions cannot be freely expressed like a woman’s, and oftentimes, they have to suppress them to become more rational, because the consequences of acting on emotions are often severe and irreversible.

Heavenly Star – Chapter 28

2017-05-04T05:55:00.001-07:00

Chapter 28 – The Ye family’s son (III)

“General Ye, why have you come?” Long Zheng Yang was completely frightened, and had greeted him at once. Even if he was the crown prince, he would never dare to behave rudely in front of Ye Nu.

Ye Nu was startled, and he greeted the prince by clasping his hands and bowing towards him: “This old servant greets Your Highness, I was unaware that the crown prince had already returned, this servant is at fault.”

Long Zheng Yang quickly helped Ye Nu up and said: “No need to be courteous General Ye, I have just recently returned, it is perfectly reasonable that you did not know.”

He did not have enough time to greet Ye Wei’s wife, because Wang Wen Shu had already thrown herself against Ye Wu Chen, her two arms were tightly hugging his body, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear again. She was looking at him in a daze, and she eventually said with her voice trembling with emotions: “Chen’er…… you are Chen’er!”

Ye Wei was also focused on Ye Wu Chen’s face, but the excitement in his heart rapidly turned into disappointment. He and his son looked exactly the same…… no, his build was somewhat taller, and it seems he was a little more mature, but they still looked exactly the same —— his son was lost 1 year ago, and after not seeing him for more than a year, he really should have grown up.

If only Wu Chen didn’t have that emotionless expression, Ye Wei might have been as excited as his wife. But there weren’t even any happiness in his expression, only unfamiliarity, this kind of unfamiliarity should not be coming out of him, the only possible explanation was that he simply did not see them, otherwise, how would it be possible that they would not be recognized by their 16 year old son.

Afterwards, he could only sigh with disappointment, unexpectedly, there actually exists two people in the world that looked so much alike, it’s not surprising that his wife and the 42 servants became so excited.

He walked towards him and asked: “Young man, what is your name?”

Ye Wu Chen had not even opened his mouth yet when Long Zheng Yang already answered for him: “His name is Ye Wu Chen. I became friends with him just recently and he also came back with me. But…… Brother Ye had been in a coma for a long time, he awoke just 1 month ago, and he cannot remember anything from his past, I was going to take him to General Ye’s home because I thought that he came from the Ye family.

Wang Wen Shu’s reaction made his heart beat rapidly, originally, he possessed a lot of uncertainties in his mind and he only thought that they resembled each other, and he only wanted to go to the Ye family to test his suspicions. But now, after seeing Wang Wen Shu react like this, he knew at once that they were definitely not “just similar” to each other. He couldn’t help regretting that he had not recognized the Ye family’s son earlier, and that he did not protect Ye Wu Chen, if he was truly the Ye family’s son, he could use their relationship to pull Wu Chen closer to him, whether it be his identity as the sword deity’s descendant or his identity as the Ye family’s only son, both would provide him with enormous benefits and it would make his position as the Crown Prince difficult to shake.

Ye Nu and Ye Wei were both feeling emotional, Ye Nu walked excitedly to Ye Wu Chen’s side, and afterwards, he looked at his eyes and asked: “Who gave you your name?”

“I gave it to myself” Ye Wu Chen replied.

“Chen’er, you are definitely Chen’er.” Wang Wen Shu’s eyes had already turned watery, she could not help stretching her hands and wanting to touch his face. Ye Wu Chen slightly raised his head upwards to avoid it, and laughingly said: “Auntie, you must have confused me for someone else, although my name is also Ye Wu Chen, I am not the Chen’er that you know.”

“No, you are undoubtedly Chen’er!” Wang Wen Shu looked at him, her eyes weren’t willing to part with him: “Your appearance and voice can be a coincidence, your name might also be a coincidence, but the mark on your right hand…… this is something only my son had, this is definitely not just a coincidence! Chen’er, I’m your mother!”

Ye Nu and Ye Wei’s sight fell on Ye Wu Chen’s right hand that were holding Ning Xue, after looking closely, they saw 3 light yellow, five star marks that were evenly arranged on the back of his hand, because the color of these 3 marks were so shallow, it would be hard to see if one did not look carefully.

Ye Wu Chen glanced at the back of his hand, his eyebrows slightly narrowed, and a trace of puzzlement flashed through his mind. Because he had not seen these 3 marks during this past month, furthermore, he also could not remember these 3 marks within the few memories that he could remember from his past.”

The first two could only be a coincidence, but 3 coincidences one after another, he could only say that this was arranged by fate.

Since fate gave him this identity, there was no reason to refuse.

Since the beginning, Ye Wei and Ye Nu had fought to stay calm, but they finally began to be excited, because these 3 marks had removed all of their doubts. Behind them, Ye Wu Yun followed and came, the muscles on his face **, and at his side, the entourage that wore gray clothes all had amazed expressions. The small changes in their expression were all seen by Ye Wu Chen, and he became absorbed in thought. (TL Note: Raws say **, idk what to put there so… ….)

Ye Nu’s eyes were slightly moist, he took a step forward and his trembling hand patted Ye Wu Chen’s shoulders, and afterwards, he burst into laughter: “HA HA HA HA! You came back well, and you came back safely! The heavens have not let down my Ye family…… HA HA HA HA!”

He suddenly turned around and glared towards the imperial guards that were stunned: “Why are you pointing a sword at my grandson, furthermore, why have you still not lain down your swords!”

How could Ye Nu’s power be considered small? After his shout, the imperial guards trembled and panickedly sheathed their swords, and afterwards, they stood behind Wu Shang, each and every one of them kept quiet out of fear, General Ye’s iron blood skill and his thunder like speed were famous, if they offend him, even if the emperor himself appeared, they still might not survive.

Ye Wu Chen was clearly confused, and he absent-mindedly said: “ Are you truly my family?”

Wang Wen Shu nodded, her hands were still tightly clutching his clothes, and after enduring for a long time, her tears finally came out: “Yes, we are your family, I am your mother, he is your grandfather, and he is your father, and this is your older brother……now that I know that you can’t remember us…… it doesn’t matter, mother will get the best imperial physician from the internal palace to cure you, you will definitely get better and remember us.”

She gently touched Wu Chen’s face and muttered: “fortunately… … you did not become thin, you became even more good looking, and even your spirit has improved, you must have suffered a lot of hardships during this past year, but mother will definitely not you suffer anymore.”

Her blurry eyes made Wu Chen’s heart feel painful, and the same time, feel a type of indescribable warmness. This was a gentle and tender mother, mothers love their children more than anything in the world, one could only imagine, the blow she received when she lost her only son, and during this past year after losing her son, how much she was constantly suffering… … whether she was his mother or not, she made him feel warmth in his heart.

I’m sorry, I don’t intend to deceive you… … I need an identity, and I also wish that my appearance can erase your sadness.

Ye Wei had a calm and smiling face, but he secretly wiped the tears on his eyes. This was an extremely pleasant surprise, and he felt that he was dreaming. Thinking about this past year’s dark cloud, his father’s lamenting, his wife’s sorrowful weeps, and his own suffering, his heart turned sour again… … but all of these completely disappeared when he returned, Ye Wei glanced at Ning Xue that was in his arms, and smiled and said: “I know you have a lot of questions, and we also have a lot to ask, but let’s talk after we return home.”

After a confused expression, Ye Wu Chen followed the Ye family to return home, and the streets were filled with the sounds of confused discussions. Long Zheng Yang watched them disappear with a smile on his lips, when suddenly, he heard a piercing cry beside his ear which woke him up.

“Ignoring me! Ignoring me!! Wuwu… … I won’t forgive you for making me cry! I’m going back to the palace, and I will tell father that you bullied me!”

The news that the lost son of the Ye family came back rapidly spread throughout the entire Tian Long City.

Chapter 27 – Ye family’s son (II)

“Good, you better remember what you have said.” Ye Wu Chen had a calm expression as he started to open his right hand that was covering the little princess’ neck, exposed was a neck that was white as snow, never mind a scar, there weren’t even any traces of blemish or stains of blood.

Wu Shang’s eyes widened, his face became completely frozen and he was unable to say a word, the angry guards behind him also looked like as if they’ve seen a ghost and were even constantly rubbing their eyes as they all thought it was only an illusion.

Long Zheng Yang was expressionless for a long time, then afterwards, he walked towards them and he stared for a long time, then he said while stuttering: “this…… how is this possible? Brother Ye, don’t tell me just now you……”

He said that because the sword had truly cut a wound on her neck and it was even bleeding, the little princess had also cried out in pain, but now the wound had completely disappeared, this was definitely not just a distraction.

The little princess carefully touched the place on her neck where she was injured before, her mouth slightly opened and her face revealed a look of lovely surprise, she quietly whispered: “how strange, it was so painful a while ago, how could it have disappeared? And there isn’t even any pain like before.”

She suddenly looked up, her shiny eyes were looking straight at Ye Wu Chen and her crisp voice said: “Big bad guy, how did you do that? Can you teach me? I can have fun while scaring other people.”

“Big bad guy? Call me big brother and I’ll teach you.” Ye Wu Chen said with a low head. His bored eyes completely disregarded the surroundings.

The little princess slightly hesitated, but she gave in to temptation in the end and whispered: “Big brother……”

“Very good” Ye Wu Chen was smiling happily as he said: “I’ll teach you, but not right now.”

“ You… …” the little princess’ mouth was flat, she felt wronged and almost broke out in tears.

Ye Wu Chen patted her little head, then he used both of his hands to pick her by the waist and place her behind him, afterwards, he carried Ning Xue down the palanquin. As his foot stepped on the ground, more than 10 imperial guards were immediately startled and surrounded him in a flash, but they weren’t fools and they knew that he had obtained the crown prince’s friendship, otherwise they would’ve already greeted him with their swords. (TL Note: Raws say ** on (head) idk wtf is that @_@, but I think head goes here.)

“Lay down your swords.”

Long Zheng Yang lightly shouted but his voice was somewhat weak. Wu Shang advanced by a step and coldly said: “Your highness, this man unexpectedly dared to kidnap the princess in the middle of the street, this is the same as saying that he does not care about the honor of the crown prince and the emperor, if I let this kind of man get away, where would the emperor’s honor be?

Ye Wu Chen was smiling as he looked at him and said: “Commander Wu, you seem to be forgetting something, before talking about anything else, didn’t you previously say that you would dig your own eyes out?”

Wu Shang’s face turned stiff, but he coldly snorted: “You outrageous man, why should we trust you!”

“Oh! What a noble excuse, so the grand commander of the imperial guards is actually just a man who talks fart, I see, I see.” Ye Wu Chen had a sarcastic sneer on his face, but he gently held Ning Xue’s small hands to ease her nerves.

“YOU!!”

Long Zheng Yang wanted to stop them, but in the end he could only sigh helplessly. Wu Shang was a person that lived his life valuing power and dignity, if Ye Wu Chen displays his strength to defeat him, he could obtain his respect, but it would be repeatedly trampling all over his dignity —— even if Wu Shang had great self-restraint, he would still likely harbor a grudge in his heart. The time Long Zheng Yang spent living in Tian Long City wasn’t enough and he needed some time before he could re-establish his position, but now he couldn’t since Ye Wu Chen had indirectly offended Wu Shang. Because the Commander of the imperial guards in Tian Long City had a very high prestige, even his father valued him greatly.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of small bells tinkling.

Wu Shang pulled out a gold sword and pointed it at Ye Wu Chen, his heavy voice thundered: “I will give you a chance. If you are a man, pick up that sword and prove your strength to me.”

Ye Wu Chen looked at him as if he were looking at an idiot and disdainfully said: “Is it for you to decide whether I am a man? If I tell you “if you are a man, chop off both of your hands”, would you chop off your hands immediately?”

Wu Shang’s expression was becoming darker by the second, and the sword in his right hand was slightly trembling.

“I admit, I am not fit to be your opponent… … but your strength is inferior to the man in front of you, that man kidnapped the person you were supposed to be protecting, how can this kind of strength be considered strong? It is nothing more than a waste. I would like to know how a person like you got mixed up as the commander of the imperial guards. My words feel ear-piercing right? Well think about before, why did you kneel on the ground and slap yourself 3 times? It is not my fault, but rather, your own fault for courting disaster, because you’re useless! If I were evil, I could have completely seized the princess and forced you to break your hands and feet, even the princess that was supposed to be under your protection would have died!” Ye Wu Chen glanced at him and silently asked: “Am I wrong?”

Wu Shang broke out in cold sweat, but he was unable to say a word.

If Wu Shang had only provoked Ye Wu Chen, perhaps he would have turned around and left peacefully, but unexpectedly he also provoked Ning Xue and even used his Qi to oppress her, this is undoubtedly touching his most sensitive spot, not to mention that Wu Shang could not act without the princess’ order, even if he was the most generous man in the world, he would not have let them off easily. Because without Ning Xue there would also be no Ye Wu Chen. Every drop of her tears, every scar on her body, and every crazy act that she did, he would always remember them in his heart. Although ordinarily Ning Xue was cute and pleasant, when it came to him, she had a deadly obsession.

This is why, anyone who wanted to hurt Ning Xue, would have to bear Wu Chen’s rage!

Kneeling on the street, the crowd could only stare helplessly at Wu Shang, he was an adult, but from the words that this young man had said, his face had turned from green to white. No one from the crowd wanted to get involved in this fight, they could only complain within their minds, because they had been kneeling for more than half a day already, and even though their knees were sore, they did not dare to get up. Although they lived in Tian Long City, ordinarily, it would be extremely hard to meet the crown prince and the princess, and now, even though they have finally met them, they still had to stay and they still couldn’t leave, therefore, they could only continue kneeling.

A group of people had suddenly arrived in the street, people secretly thought: “Abducting the princess in the middle of the street, this large matter should have already spread to the internal palace long ago, and now, someone has finally come to help us.” But immediately after that, the crowd had suddenly started whispering among themselves again, because these people were clearly from the Ye family, furthermore, behind the people from the Ye family, there were more than 10 sword wielding guards that had cold expressions.

Ye Wu Chen didn’t look surprised, but rather, he slightly raised his head higher, as if their arrival was within his expectations.

So, my prediction came true…… how does it come true? And how does it not?

Chapter 26 – Ye Family’s son (I)

“Master! Mistress! …. Young master, we saw the young master!”

Two persons dressed as the family’s servants came running in breathlessly, just after they came through the courtyard gate, they began to shout at the top of their lungs. Their shouts were heard widely through the Ye mansion, even the guards that were normally as stoic as a rock and only looked in front of them, looked at each other in dismay, disbelief showed in their faces. After disappearing for more than a year, everyone in the family believed in their hearts that he has already been murdered, could it be that they were wrong?

A fierce figure suddenly came from the Ye family’s backyard and quickly walked to the two men in front of him and suddenly lifted them into the air, he stared at them and fiercely said: “what did you say? Say it one more time, if you dare deceive me believe it or not I’ll kill you at once.

This man looked like he was about 40 years old, his eyebrows were as sharp as a swords, his eyes shined like a star, and he had a somewhat white face. People could easily tell that, when he was younger, he must have been a very beautiful man, he easily grabbed the two men’s collars and lifted them using his hands, it did not look like he was carrying two persons but rather two chicks instead. His body were surrounded by Qi and he was releasing a bloodthirsty aura, this scent was not something one could naturally be born with, and could only be obtained by fighting countless of wars and by dyeing his hands with countless of blood, and now he was releasing his Qi unconsciously, this terrifyingly powerful Qi was also unexpectedly releasing the faint smell of blood, the two persons turned ashen faced, and for a moment even the wind itself didn’t dare to make a sound.

“It’s the young master…… we were at the streets just a moment ago and we saw a person that looks exactly the same as the young master……possible…… it’s possible that the young master has returned.” The man in the left stammeringly said. As a servant of the Ye Mansion, he naturally knew the general’s frightening power. And since the time his son went missing, he became bad tempered and violent, the people in front of him kept quiet out of fear, with no one daring to say a word.

Afterwards, two persons from the family hurriedly ran to Ye Wei, the one leading in front was a woman that looked like she was more than 30 years old, she was Ye Wei’s wife, Wang Wen Shu. Behind her was an old man with a dignified look and a heavy stare, his hair was grizzled and his body was emitting Qi that smelled of iron and blood, if he stomped his feet the entire Tian Long City would tremble 3 times, he was the Ye family’s Ye Nu.

“Quick, where is he! “ Wang Wen Shu hurriedly said with a trembling voice. Her hands couldn’t keep still under her excitement.

The man hurried said: “Mistress…… he was nearby the House of Smoke and Dreams”

His voice faded, Wang Wen Shu had already rushed through the gate, and it was already too late to say another word. Ye Wei lowered the two men and looked towards his father. Ye Nu had a solemn expression and he said with a sigh: “Is it really the same person?”

His mouth sighed, but everyone could hear the excitement in his voice, he and even his son were suppressing their excitement, because the greater their hope also meant greater disappointment, if they were wrong and it wasn’t him, their ecstatic feelings would once again turn into despair.

They heard the sound of hurried footsteps, this person looked over 20 years old, he had a calm expression and a fine eye, behind him was a person dressed like an attendant, he was not yet near when he loudly said: “Grandfather, stepfather, I heard that younger brother Wu Chen has returned, is this true?”

Ye Nu shook his head: “it’s probably just someone similar, otherwise why wouldn’t he return home?…… Yun’er, can you go take a look?

Grandpa Ye was walking away from the Ye mansion, in the past he was always calm and serious, even when facing an army of millions, he was still calm and composed, but now he was on the threshold of faltering. A vague hope was still a hope, after all even if they couldn’t find their only son, they also couldn’t find his dead body.

The Ye family’s son, he was named as Ye Wu Chen, because on the day he was born, a full moon was glowing brightly in the sky, but there were no stars. Pleased at getting a grandson, Grandpa Ye was in a cheerful mood and he poetically named him Wu Chen.

Now, if he had the opportunity to name him again, he would rather name him “Wu Bing or Wu Ji or even possibly Wu Que.” (TL Note: Wu Bing = No illness , Wu Ji = No Sickness ,Wu Que = No deficiency / whole / perfect )

……………….

At the present time, in front of the house of smoke and dreams, the originally hostile atmosphere has already disappeared by more than half, the young man who originally seized the princess was now holding a white haired girl by the waist and his other hand was hooked around the little princess’ neck while they were chatting. He kept asking questions and the little princess would answer obediently, she now completely looked like a well behaved girl. Because a sword drew a cut on her neck, she cried out in pain, how could she not become scared? But now that she wasn’t panicking her frightened feelings has clearly weakened by a lot.

Ye Wu Chen had touched the princess’ valuable body, even though she was only 13 years old, how could a man touch wherever he likes? even with only this, he could be sentenced to death, but before this, he even went as far as to abduct the princess and even injure her, compared to that, him touching the princess meant nothing.

Long Zheng Yang’s heart was very complicated, he was strenuously thinking about every different kinds of method to resolve this. The other offense was easy to handle, but the problem was he drew a cut on the princess’ neck and everyone present clearly saw that, if his father heard this, even if he wanted to absolve his crimes he would be powerless to do so.

Wu Shang walked behind Long Zheng Yang, his gaze was firmly focused on Ye Wu Chen as he said in a low voice: “Your highness, crown prince.”

Long Zheng Yang waved his hand and walked towards the front of the Luan carriage, he forced a smile and bitterly said: “ Younger Brother Ye, you made me lose face, I thought you were simply pretending to kidnap the princess, but I didn’t expect you to truly injure my younger sister, how could I endure that?”

“Oh really?” Ye Wu Chen smiled slowly: “I was only playing with little sister Huang’er, little sister Huang’er is so cute, how can I hurt her?”

“Damned Thing!” Wu Shang’s eyebrows were rising in anger, if the little princess wasn’t still in his hands, he definitely would’ve took a sword and split him in two. “You disobeyed us previously, and abducted the princess, and afterwards you even impertinently harmed her valuable body, and now you still dare to deny it!”

“Is that really true?” Ye Wu Chen coldly shot a glance at him, his palm was covering the little princess’ tender neck and was gently stroking her, it was pitiful to see that Long Zheng Yang’s little sister’s body had inexplicably became soft: “tell me, on what part of her body is my little princess injured?”

Wu Shang coldly said: “You drew a cut on the neck of the princess and everyone saw it clearly, although it was only a minor injury, but the princess’ body has never been injured before. If you land in my hands, I will surely return it to you with a swing of a thousand swords! Humph…… looking at your appearance and your talent, even if you are a little extraordinary, you are still an insignificant man.

Long Zheng Yang also frowned and his voice sounded gloomy: “What do you mean by that? Even though you hurt my sister in front of me, you still want to lie, you have truly made me disappointed!”

Ye Wu Chen took a glance at him but afterwards his gaze landed on Wu Shang’s face, and while smiling mysteriously he said: “What if this little princess’ neck doesn’t even have a scar?”

“I will dig my eyes out” Wu Shang furiously shouted.

Chapter 25 – Tian Long City’s Ye Family

The little princess wanted to cry heavily as she was saved when her life was hanging by a straw, but she had already lost the strength to cry, her tender lips opened and closed a few times. She had wanted to cry for help but her voice was already too weak.

Ye Wu Chen did not immediately release her, and coldly said in her ear: “Little girl, do you still want to kill my sister?”

No… … No… … I don’t , and would never dare to. “She quickly shook her head, and looked carefully, her miserable and watery eyes were looking at him.

“It’s useless to beg for mercy, if you want me to release you, apologize to my sister.”

“I… … I’m sorry.”

“Look at my sister and make your voice louder” said Ye Wu Chen dissatisfiedly.

“The little princess turned, her eyes finally looked at Ningxue’s face, but immediately afterwards, she started to run away as if she were electrocuted, while sobbing, she said: “I’m sorry… … but she’s really scary… …”

“Is she? ” Ye Wu Chen looked at her small, tearful face and gently glanced at Ningxue and said: “In my eyes, my sister is a hundred times more beautiful than you

The little princess reacted extraordinarily violently, if a sword wasn’t crossed around her neck, she would’ve jumped up like a cat that had its tail stepped on: “I, I, I, … … what part of her is better looking than me! How is it possible that I am not as good looking as her! “

The little princess pouted, she wasn’t even afraid to argue with an evil man. Love of beauty is in a woman’s nature, the words of this 13 year old princess had truly shown that. Ye Wu Chen let go of the sword on his hand, and using both of his hands, he turned her small head to look at Ningxue, and told her that what she believes as the truth is not useful, the most direct method is to use one’s own eyes to discover the truth. “You think that my sister doesn’t look good is because you only look at her bad parts, look carefully at her eyes, and her eyebrows, compared to you who is more better looking? “

The little princess stared fixedly at Ningxue’s starry eyes and Ningxue also looked at her, their eyes occasionally blinking, the two girls looked at each other for a long time, she muttered: “her eyes are very beautiful.”

Unconsciously, those two originally frightening scars unexpectedly no longer scared her, and she even became curious and had an urge to touch them.

“Are you really better looking than her? “ A voice asked beside her ear.

She pouted and said: “Not at all. “

With her mind distracted, she even forgot that this person, just a moment ago was holding a sword to her neck and even put a cut on her neck ——because unknowingly, the pain had already entirely disappeared long ago.

“All right… …. Little girl, what’s your name? “ Ye Wu Chen’s voice sounded softer.

“My name is Huang’er. “ The princess timidly answered, tear stains were still visible on her face, but she were not scared like before.

Huang’er? or Huang’er? Ye Wu Chen smiled secretly. The emperor had enough children right? But even his daughters were named like this. (TL Note: Huang can mean Emperor or Phoenix)

“How old are you?”

“13 years old.”

Long Zheng Yang’s head nearly hit the ground, and he couldn’t even keep standing anymore, when the two persons had unexpectedly started chatting in front of him.

……………..

At the same time, at the Tian Long Ye family.

As one of the country’s most powerful family, whether be it in political power, military power, influence or financial resources, they were extremely strong, and no one really knew their true strength, apart from anyone that had the strength that could contend with the Lin family, no one dared to provoke them, even the current emperor had to show the Ye family some degree of courtesy. Currently, the person with the highest position in the family was the Old General Ye Nu. Ye Nu was already 67, he had spent all of his life campaigning on the battlefield, he had performed countless of outstanding military service for the country and even has an extremely high position in the country, he also had the Ye family in his hands and was strengthening it rapidly as an upstart general, and after only a few decades time, they would be at the peak of Tian Long City.

But unfortunately, perhaps the heavens were jealous of the Ye family, the Ye family’s successive generations didn’t prosper. General Ye was an only child, and throughout his life, he also only had 1 son, his son, who was now powerful enough to shake the 4 seas, was already middle aged and was the general of Wei Long, his name was Ye Wei. Ye Wei also had only 1 son and 1 daughter, and unfortunately, during the Ye family’s dominating and powerful era, Ye Wei’s son was disabled due to numerous illnesses, which became increasingly more severe throughout the years, during the day, he secretly went out of the city to find an answer to his problem, and because they didn’t know, Ye Nu and Ye Wei did not even worry about him, this matter was also well known and had turned the Ye family into the laughing stock of the Tian Long country.

1 year ago, Ye Wei was searching at Cang Lan country and finally found something which could change the physique of the his son, the thousand year snow ginseng, but Ye Wei returned that day because his son had unexpectedly went missing, the Ye family tried to keep it a secret, but not a single person knew why he disappeared, it was as if he faded into the air in broad daylight. And as a result, Ye Nu became furious and started a large scale and thorough investigation within the range of Tian Long City, but in the end, they didn’t find anything.

Regardless of whether he himself ran away from home or whether he had been abducted, it was impossible to escape from the Ye family’s formidable power, the only possibility left was the existence of a traitor within the Ye family. And as a result, while they were searching Tian Long city, they were at the same time, investigating the internal part of the Ye family, but they still found nothing again and they were forced to do a large reorganization on the internal and external part of the family. Eventually, The Ye family’s son completely disappeared, and not even a single strand of his hair was found, even if the Ye family didn’t want to admit it, in their hearts they knew that he might have already been murdered and even his body might have been completely destroyed.

When the Ye family was burning an incense, it broke ominously, because of this Ye Nu was sighing all the time, he was growing old, even if on the surface he was as still as aggressive and domineering as before, people with discerning eyes could tell that the space between his eyebrows contained deep suffering. Ye Wei’s heroic pride didn’t diminish, but his personality became clearly irritable, the soldiers under his control were all well aware, but they could only keep their thoughts in their heart as their General Wei sighed, they never dared to mention this matter in front of him. Ye Wei’s wife was a lady of the imperial court and was crying all day due to the loss of their son.

The Ye family’s only hope was Ye Wei’s adopted son seven years ago. The name of that adopted son was Ye Wu Yun, which should be 22 years old now, during the years when the child was an orphan, the helpless child survived by picking up trash for a living, dangerously living in a world of ice and snow, when he was about to starve to death, Ye Nu offered to him to serve Ye Wei. Afterwards when Ye Wei was attacked by an assassin, he didn’t care about his life and blocked the sword targeting Ye Wei, he was seriously hurt and almost died but he managed to survive, The Ye family was extremely grateful and soon afterwards recognized him as the Ye family’s son. During the 7 years afterwards, he adjusted to the Ye family and gave all he has into meticulously caring for the Ye family, and he gradually revealed astonishing talents, because of that the Ye family gave him rewards for his great contributions, and facing an illness, the dispirited Ye family’s only son could only take care of himself.

But an adopted son, even if he had an excellent talent, was still an adopted son, the blood flowing in his body was not the pure blood of the Ye family. Even though the Ye family completely trusted this adopted son and treated him as if he were their own, how would they be willing hand the entire family property to a stranger?

……………..

At the present time.

A sudden news left the Ye Mansion in an uproar.

Heavenly Star – Chapter 24

2017-05-04T05:42:00.001-07:00

Chapter 24 – Abducting the Princess (II)

“Let go of the Princess!!

“What are you doing, do you know who you’re holding!”

“Release the princess immediately, do you want to rebel?”

The crowd stood up in confusion, and most of the people were starting to retreat subconsciously in order to avoid trouble. From the start, they did not expect to see the legendary princess, and afterwards, they could only watch helplessly as the princess was being kidnapped. The crowd looked towards Ye Wu Chen, their eyes were filled with pity —— to dare hold a sword to the princess’ neck, this person’s life was completely finished.

Above the Luan palanquin, one of Ye Wu Chen’s hands was embracing Ning Xue, and the other arm was hooked around the frightened little princess, holding a sword to her neck. The pitiful little princess did not dare to move, her watery eyes were glistening with tears, like contaminated dew on a tender lotus, making her look pitiful, her small mouth was biting her lips, and the tip of her nose were slightly trembling. This was the first time in her life that a man held a sword to her neck.

Under their protection, the princess was unexpectedly abducted by a man holding a sword, cold sweat was constantly running down on Wu Shang’s forehead, regardless of whether the princess were rescued safely or not, his dereliction of duty was a crime he could not escape, and if the princess were to have an accident, even if the emperor could forgive him, he would rather commit suicide to apologize for his mistakes.

He had scanned the surroundings with his Qi beforehand, and there were no possible dangers or anyone with a powerful Qi, he also felt that Ye Wu Chen was nothing more than an ordinary man, that was why he dared to move 5 steps away from the princess, his mind was not also on guard when he dealt with that situation, during the instance that he was stunned, Ye Wu Chen effortlessly broke his way into their gap, using his quick speed to rush inside the Luan Palanquin, while he was moving, he easily stole a sword from one of the imperial guard’s belt and held it to the princess’ neck.

Wu Shang had a dismal expression as he whispered: “Wind evasion technique, you are unexpectedly, a rare wind sorcerer.

Ye Wu Chen had indeed used a low level wind magic, the wind evasion technique, which could improve a person’s speed for a short time.

“Wind sorcerer?”

The crowd was excitedly talking again, a few people even showed clear expressions of envy and jealousy. A sorcerer was a rare and respected profession, only those who were talented and had magic in their bodies could study in it, which were very few. If a sorcerer and a warrior of the same rank were to fight, it would be difficult to determine which was stronger, but if they were to fight in a war, a sorcerer’s formidable power would be enough to face tens or even several hundreds of warriors of the same rank, because powerful sorcerers possesses frightening attack range and devastating magic, and magic which are special in nature, it allows them to become experts in many different fields of expertise, therefore people who could cultivate magic were always highly valued by the nations, they would be sent to the sorcerer guild of the nation and they would not have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of their lives.

Silently hiding in the crowd, Long Zheng Yang had difficulty resisting not showing himself, because if he showed himself now, it might make the situation worse, and the onlookers would see the imperial family as a joke. He believed that Ye Wu Chen did not truly intend to harm her younger sister, and he could only do his best to signal him with his eyes. Seeing that Wu Shang was stunned just a while ago…… didn’t grandpa said that he was the Sword Deity’s descendant? Could it be that he had what the internal palace had always worshipped —— double cultivation of martial arts and magic!?

When Ye Wu Chen said the following words, they almost jumped out of shock.

“Kneel down, and slap yourselves 3 times.” Ye Wu Chen did not reply to Wu Shang, and instead, he had ordered them, his voice was cold and severe, and had no traces that he was just joking around.

Long Zheng Yang desperately tried to communicate with his eyes…… Brother Ye, you are my brother! Even if you are the sword deity’s descendant, how can you play around like this? You abducted my younger sister, and I can barely contain myself, if you are truly just playing around……

They did not see that, when Ye Wu Chen appeared on the Luan Palanquin, two people within the crowd were looking at each other, one servant had an expression like he had seen a ghost, and had hurriedly rushed away towards the direction of the Tian Long City’s Ye family.

After those short words, Wu Shang’s face turned even more gloomy, each of the imperial guards had a dark expression and were glaring at Ye Wu Chen, they had surrounded and encircled him, but they did not dare to take a step forward.

Wu Shang took a step forward and pointed his golden sword at him, he coldly shouted: “Release the princess, I can still allow you and your brothers and sisters to safely leave, but if you dare touch a hair on her head, 9 clans will punish you.”

Ye Ning Xue was still in Wu Chen’s arms, her small face were still as scared as before, but she still did not say a word, because she was scared that she might disturb her brother.

“Oh? It seems that you did not hear what I have just said. So I will say it again —— Kneel down, and slap yourselves 3 times! You should be thankful, if you really killed my younger sister just a moment ago, I would have ordered you to chop off your hands and feet! Now….. I will give you 3 seconds!”

“One!”

“Seizing the princess, threatening the commander of the imperial guards, each one of these is a capital offense, but if you leave now I can still give you a chance!”

“Two!”

Wu Shang took another step forward, he did not truly believe that this person would really do it.

“Three!”

“HAHAHA!”

“Wuwu!!” (TL Note: sound of someone whimpering)

They heard a small sound that was followed by the cries of a little girl, the imperial guard’s long sword was on the princess’ tender neck and had cut a long wound, blood was slowly spilling out. The pitiful little princess was used to being spoiled, she was not even beaten and scolded as a child, let alone having a real sword to her neck. Under the pain, her cries were heartbreaking as she miserably said: “Uncle Wu…… please save me…… wuwu…… it really hurts……”

Ye Wu Chen’s expression did not change at all, as if what he was doing was just an ordinary thing. His right hand gently moved, holding the sword with his other hand, he covered the wound he just made with his palm, it seemed that, unexpectedly, he was afraid of seeing her hurt.

“Thud!” Wu Shang heavily knelt on the ground, and afterwards he ferociously slapped himself on the face 3 times, each time using all of his strength, 3 loud slapping sounds made the silent crowd become noisy all of a sudden, each person had an astonished look.

“Release the princess!” said Wu Shang with his head low, his whole body was trembling, and his fists were tightly closed, his fingernails almost sinking into his flesh.

The imperial guards shouted and rushed to support him, each and every one of them almost had their eyes pop out, wishing that their general could hack Ye Wu Chen into pieces. Wu Shang was their commander, furthermore he was their goal and pride, but now, his dignity had been trampled, how could they endure it?

“That’s enough” Long Zheng Yang finally stood up, and his face had an expression of disbelief. Was this the gentle and silent Ye Wu Chen? Why was he so reckless? Doesn’t he know what he’s doing? Doesn’t he know that a warrior could accept failure, but never humiliation!

“His Highness…… the Crown Prince!” the imperial guards shouted at the same time, and afterwards, hurriedly kneeled. Their kneeling down immediately started a series of chain reactions, the entire street was terrified, and they all began to kneel down one after another. They could disrespect the princess, but they would not dare to disrespect the crown prince, because he was the future emperor!

Long Zheng Yang suddenly waved his hand to stop their shouts, and heavily sighed: “Let go of my younger sister.”
