Soon, Ye Li arrived at Ye Wujiu's residence. Without letting the guards outside go in to inform him, Ye Li walked straight in.
Now his status in the family is not just as simple as a special elder. The title of the strongest fighter gives him more privileges.
After entering Ye Wujiu's room, Ye Li found that his grandfather was sitting at the table drinking tea. Although his face was pale, he looked energetic and did not look depressed after being seriously injured.
Seeing this situation, Ye Li finally felt relieved.
"Grandpa, I'm back!"
Ye Li greeted him first, and then Ye Wujiu looked at Ye Li with a look of surprise.
Quickly putting down the tea bowl in his hand, Ye Wujiu stood up excitedly, walked two steps to Ye Li and grabbed Ye Li's arm.
After looking his grandson up and down, Ye Wujiu said, "Fortunately nothing happened to you, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to Ye Hao.
I couldn't protect him in the past, and now if something happens to you, I really can't forgive myself."
Hearing Ye Wujiu's words, Ye Li smiled with emotion and said, "Grandpa, you don't have to worry about me. Nothing happened to me this time. Instead, I made a group of good friends.
As for you, I heard from the traveling merchants that you were seriously injured. How are you now?"
Ye Wujiu waved his hand and said, "The previous injury was indeed serious, but now it's basically fine.
Especially when I heard that you were safe and sound, I finally felt relieved.
Ye Li, what happened after you were attacked? Where did you go during the one month you disappeared?"
While the two were talking, they both sat down, and Ye Wujiu asked Ye Li.
Ye Li said: "Grandpa, the people who attacked us before were not coming for our Ye family caravan, but only for me."
Ye Wujiu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Is he coming for you alone?"
Ye Li nodded, and then told Ye Wujiu everything that had happened before. He did not hide much from his grandfather and told him everything truthfully.
When Ye Wujiu heard Ye Li's account of what he had seen and heard in the forbidden area of the sea of flowers, disbelief was written all over his face.
When he heard that Ye Li was captured by Chu Xian and others, his face was full of guilt. If the Ye family was not too weak, why would they let Ye Li, a young man in his early twenties, take all the risks? Originally, the elders of the family should be the protectors of the younger generation, but now it seems that it is completely reversed. Instead, their entire family is receiving Ye Li's protection.
"Ye Li, luckily your friends came in time, it's really thanks to them that we were saved.
Alas, I feel ashamed as the head of the family and grandfather for letting you face the siege of dozens of masters alone. "
Ye Wujiu couldn't help but shook his head, his face full of guilt.
Ye Li hurriedly advised: "Grandpa, this is not your fault. After all, the Ye family has only developed in the past few years, and there is always a stage.
If it weren't for that old bastard Ye Tianwu who caused the Feng family to come and destroy my father's cultivation, with my father's talent, he should have become a master by now.
My Ye family will also develop rapidly. Twenty years is enough for us to become a fifth-grade family."
Hearing Ye Li's words, Ye Wujiu nodded, sighed, and said: "Alas, who said it wasn't true.
Ye Hao's strength back then was already able to suppress the younger generation of the seven families. If he had been given a little more time, he would definitely have become a master in the fetal development stage, the Yuan fetal stage, or above.
If he had that kind of cultivation, it would only be a matter of time before he could lead our Ye family to become a fifth-rank family.
When we find the Glazed Flame Crystal Iron in our family, our strength will be further improved. At least we won’t be unable to protect you like we are now.”
Speaking of Ye Hao, both the grandfather and grandson sighed, feeling a little regretful.
After a while, Ye Wujiu said: "By the way, Ye Li, you have been in contact with the people from that mysterious organization, and you said they were looking for you.
Now that you have escaped, will their people continue to come to arrest you?"
Hearing Ye Wujiu's question, Ye Li shook his head and said, "I don't know if they will continue to come to me, so I don't plan to stay in the Ye family for a long time. At the end of the year, I will go back to the Imperial City to report, so that they won't come to the Ye family to find me and bring disaster to the family.
But I don't think they will come looking for me for the time being, because I didn't check it before, and I was carrying something that could allow the people from that mysterious organization to find me.
Now that thing has been taken away by the other party, it means that it should be impossible for the people from the other organization to find and recognize me easily, so I should still be relatively safe.
But you still need to be careful, especially watch out for anyone behaving abnormally at home.
That organization seems to be very proficient in controlling people's minds. I feel that they must be trying to come up with some conspiracy in the world. I don't know how many forces have been controlled by them, so my Ye family must be careful.
They always stay in the dark, and in order to avoid being discovered, they usually never show up in the light, so we just need to be careful not to let them plant spies in the family.
They will definitely not show up in public and do anything to harm our family, so we don’t need to worry too much about other things.”
After hearing Ye Li's words, Ye Wujiu finally felt relieved, nodded, and said, "Okay, I will inform Wuxin and the others about this matter, and let everyone stay alert.
Ye Li, when are you going to report back to Imperial City? There is only one month left until the end of the year. "
Ye Li thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa, do we have any thunder spells in our Lingfu Pavilion?"
Ye Wujiu didn't know why Ye Li suddenly asked this, and after a pause, he said, "We do have some, but they are all very basic low-level spells.
What's wrong? Did you activate the Thunder Root? "
Ye Li nodded and said, "Yes, I have already activated the Thunder Root before, but I have never had the opportunity to learn some Thunder Spells.
If I have some thunder spells at home, I can try to master some first to understand the power of thunder. Then when I go to the Imperial City, I can use the resources I have accumulated before to buy some high-level thunder spells to learn. "
After hearing Ye Li's affirmative answer, Ye Wujiu couldn't help but show joy on his face, and said: "Ye Li, you actually have another Thunder Root, which is the same as my Wind Root, and is considered a rare root.
With the help of this talisman, your strength will definitely reach a higher level.
It’s a pity that my Ye family only has some basic spells for you to learn, which is a bit unfair to you.”
