Chapter 556 I really am an orphan! The kind that fell from the sky!

Xuan Lao treated Ye Zhenghao and Ye Wuqing as just minor incidents encountered on the road, paying them no heed. He glanced left and right, focusing intently on the passing restaurants, trying to find a hidden gem.

Ye Nanxiao followed behind Elder Xuan, reaching up to touch the disguise mask on his face. "What flaw did Ye Wuqing find in me that allowed him to recognize me? I didn't touch my chin, did I?"

He didn't understand. His aura had been perfectly concealed, and he was completely different from his original self in both appearance and perception. Could it be that he wasn't wearing colored contact lenses?

"There are plenty of people with strange eyes on the mainland, but my eye color is pretty common."

Ye Nanxiao couldn't understand it for a moment. He hadn't just barely passed; he had actually passed Teacher Gaosheng's course with the highest score and become the champion!

Old Xuan's eyes, like radar, scanned all the food on the street. He swallowed hard. For him, as long as the food suited his taste, whether it was a delicacy from the mountains or a popular snack, it was all his food.

"Young man, did you bring any money?" Elder Xuan asked.

Ye Nanxiao was deep in thought when he subconsciously hummed in agreement.

With Elder Xuan around, he wasn't as vigilant. As he walked, he recalled what flaws he had revealed when he faced Ye Wuqing.

After receiving Ye Nanxiao's reply, Elder Xuan didn't stand on ceremony with him. He walked up to a stall that looked quite nice and said, "Boss, I'll take all the food here. I'll pay for this one!"

"Ah? Oh! Okay! Thank you, sir!" The stall owner was naturally happy, having already met his target ahead of schedule today.

It wasn't until Ye Nanxiao came to his senses, took out his wallet, and watched as Elder Xuan carried the stall away that he felt as if he had brought an extraordinary bodyguard with him.

Can one afford to keep such a bodyguard with their own savings?

Seeing Elder Xuan head towards the next stall, seemingly intending to help the stall owner find another job, Ye Nanxiao quickly ran up and grabbed Elder Xuan around the waist. "Elder Xuan, stop! We're here for lunch, not to rob us!"

Elder Xuan was taken aback for a moment and said, "What are you doing? I think the local snacks in Zhengtian City are quite good. I'm helping you bring all the utensils back so you can make some for me to try anytime."

"You've really thought of everything! But have you considered what if I don't know how to make this snack?" Ye Nanxiao snatched the snack cart from Elder Xuan's hand and returned it to the previous vendor.

"No way?" Elder Xuan was stunned again, then revealed the chicken leg bone.

Are you sure you can't?

Ye Nanxiao blinked; the back of his head seemed to be hurting again.

"Yes, yes, even if I don't know how, I can learn!" Ye Nanxiao carefully moved the chicken leg bone in front of him and said confidently.

Master Xuan nodded, "That's right."

This talent of learning everything so quickly shouldn't be wasted!

Ye Nanxiao breathed a sigh of relief, put away his wallet, took the grilled chicken skewers handed over by Elder Xuan, tasted them, and found that the taste was indeed very good, with the addition of a spice powder that was only produced in the Douling Empire.

"This chicken is marinated quite well; there should be some herbs added to the spices to enhance the flavor."

Ye Nanxiao quickly finished the chicken skewers in his hand. He thought to himself, "As expected of the Spirit Medicine Empire, the variety of spiritual herbs in Douling is indeed abundant. These spices are just right."

"I wonder how things are going on Douling's side. The East Sea is a huge medicinal field. To make this stuff, we have to process those spices first, otherwise, I feel a chill down my spine every time I see a chicken leg bone."

Ye Nanxiao was talking to himself when he suddenly realized something.

Why do I feel a chill on the back of my head whenever I see Master Xuan's chicken leg bone?

Isn't this just a conditioned reflex developed from being beaten up by Elder Xuan?

Was Ye Wuqing able to recognize him also due to this inexplicable physical reaction?

Last time at the National Soul Master Competition, I think I gave that guy a good beating?

"Elder Xuan, do you know that guy who was playing with the leaves just now?" Ye Nanxiao asked.

"Playing with leaves? I don't know him." Elder Xuan shook his head. How could he possibly know any juniors from other academies?

Ye Nanxiao quickened his pace and moved closer to Elder Xuan, saying, "That man's name is Ye Wuqing, the captain of Zhengtian Academy in the previous National Soul Master Competition. He was extremely arrogant, and I gave him a severe beating in the end, which shattered his mentality. If I had left a significant psychological impact on him back then, wouldn't his body instinctively remind him that I was once his greatest enemy if he saw me?"

After listening, Elder Xuan pondered for a while, and after understanding Ye Nanxiao's meaning, he said, "If you have had a great psychological impact on an enemy, then if that person sees you again, their body's instincts will automatically be alert. Of course, the premise is that one of their five senses senses you, intuition also counts."

"That kid recognized you just now, so he must have sensed you through one of his five senses. Even if you hide your aura very well, it's hard for a person's intuition to guess."

As he spoke, Elder Xuan glanced at Ye Nanxiao's disguise and said, "You've created this disguise out of thin air as someone who doesn't exist, so naturally there will be subtle flaws."

Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao nodded in agreement. Human intuition is sometimes very mysterious and cannot be explained.

"Speaking of which, you brat, I remember when you enrolled, the information you filled out regarding your father's and mother's families was blank. If you hadn't said yourself that you were all alone, I would have thought you were a member of the Ye family of Zhengtian City who had been lost to the outside world." Elder Xuan said, chewing on a bamboo stick, and glanced back at what was behind him.

Ye Nanxiao shook his head and said, "I have no connection with the Ye family of Zhengtian City. I am indeed an orphan, the kind that falls from the sky. I was picked up by Nannan when I was a child."

"Jiang Nannan mentioned this, and I remember it. However, that fly just now seemed determined to invite you into the Ye family of Zhengtian City." Elder Xuan spat out the bamboo stick from his mouth.

The bamboo stick was even faster than an instantaneous soul-guided ray, making an exaggerated turn in the air before flying into an alley.

Ye Nanxiao keenly detected the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground and immediately released his senses.

They sensed that someone was catching up behind them. The leader had just been knocked down by Elder Xuan and was lying on the ground, his fate unknown.

Elder Xuan's action immediately intimidated the several people who had quietly crept up from behind.

"What are your plans? You shouldn't be in a hurry, right?" Old Master Xuan bent down, picked up a few pebbles from the ground, held them in his hand, half-clenched them into a fist, and pushed them out forcefully with his thumb.

The pebble veered and twisted in the air, heading straight for the pursuers behind it.

Several spies who were secretly following Ye Nanxiao and Elder Xuan tried desperately to dodge, but they couldn't avoid the incoming stones no matter what they did.

The pebbles were like missiles locked onto their targets, hitting each person precisely in the chest.

"Dealing with these guys shouldn't take too long, right? Besides, Elder Xuan, you can even take me flying!" Ye Nanxiao stopped, a sly smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

When Elder Xuan saw Ye Nanxiao's appearance, he immediately became interested.

Since someone has bullied us from behind, we must fight back. They attacked first and scared us, so it's not unreasonable to ask for some compensation, right?

The Ye family, which has been entrenched in Zhengtian City for a long time, must have considerable resources!

At this point, the cunning businessman and the former ruthless bandit reached a consensus.

South of Zhengtian City.

The latest novel is first published here!

The Ye family has spread throughout Zhengtian City and had already taken control of the City Lord's Mansion hundreds of years ago, becoming the most powerful clan in the city.

The Ye family, which had been gradually declining over time, seemed to have received some good news today.

Ye Wuqing brought back news that excited the Ye family patriarch and all the elders.

One of their targets, Ye Nanxiao, is currently in Zhengtian City.

"Ruthless, is your information accurate?" a middle-aged man sitting in the center of the council chamber asked seriously.

This man had white temples and a few stubbles, and his eagle eyes shone with a sharp, cold light. He was none other than Ye Jinpeng, the current patriarch of the Ye family.

Ye Wuqing reverted to his usual aloof demeanor, closing his eyes and nodding slightly. "Clan Chief, I've confirmed that it is indeed Ye Nanxiao. Only Ye Nanxiao can evoke such trembling desire in me! I've already sent people to secretly follow Ye Nanxiao; now all that's left is to demonstrate our sincerity!"

Ye Jinpeng nodded. "Very good. He's surnamed Ye, and a renowned genius at that. Such a talented young man is a perfect match for my daughter!"

"Go and fetch the young lady!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a cold voice entered the council chamber.

"No need, Father, I'm here."

A young girl dressed in a light purple brocade robe slowly walked into the council hall. The girl had a beautiful figure, like a ripe peach, and her long black hair cascaded down from her shoulders to her waist like a waterfall.

"Ling Shuang, you've come at the perfect time! Your father has found you an exceptionally talented man!" Ye Jinpeng looked at his beloved daughter, who was vying with Tian Guang for beauty, and the sharp, cold light in his eyes instantly vanished, replaced by a look of appreciation as he admired the perfect prop he had created.

Ye Ling Shuang bowed slightly to Ye Jin Peng, her expression unchanged, and coldly asked, "Then congratulations, Father."

With Ye Ling Shuang's arrival, the temperature in the council hall seemed to drop a few degrees.

However, the enthusiasm of the Ye family elders remained undiminished, and they all offered their congratulations to Ye Jinpeng.

In their eyes, as long as they marry into the Ye family, they will have a peerless beauty like Ye Ling Shuang, and Ye Nanxiao will definitely agree.

Ye Ling Shuang coldly looked at the hypocritical crowd, her eyes devoid of any emotion.

Ye Wuqing was of the same generation as Ye Ling Shuang. Despite his arrogance, he lowered his head before her, concealing the excitement in his eyes well.

As long as Ye Nanxiao marries Ye Ling Shuang and becomes a son-in-law of the Ye family, he will be able to challenge Ye Nanxiao every day!

Inside the Ye family's council hall, everyone was overjoyed. Ye Jinpeng was happy that his main branch could continue to consolidate its position, Ye Wuqing was also happy about the countless challenges to come, and the elders were happy that this generation of the main branch had a son-in-law.

Ye Ling Shuang stood in the center of the hall, like a pure and noble flower detached from the hustle and bustle of the world.

She didn't care what anyone thought, just as everyone thought her thoughts were unimportant.

"Ye Nanxiao, you'd better escape quickly, or you'll end up in this cage."

Thank you for watching, dear readers!
