Xue Ziping looked at Ye Wujiu and said, "Master Ye, Qi Wei and I both have a very good personal relationship with Ye Li, and the news of his death is a bit heavy for both of us.
To be honest with you, we both have high hopes for Ye Li, hoping that he can become the future inner court elder, or the successor to the city lord.
I just didn't expect that the final result would be like this.
No matter what, I still hope that you, Master Ye, will mourn for me. I know that you are Ye Li’s grandfather, and Qian Xie and I also know about his parents’ affairs. You are his closest person now.
We will have the disciples of the Imperial City pay more attention to his affairs. If we find any signs that he is still alive, we will do our best to find him."
Hearing Xue Ziping mention Ye Li's parents, Ye Wujiu couldn't help but burst into tears. His most outstanding son had died, and now his most outstanding grandson was missing, how could he not feel extremely heartbroken.
After Xue Ziping stayed at the Ye family for a while, he left with Ou Qianxie.
Everyone in the Ye family soon knew about Ye Li's situation. Ye Canglong, who had already returned to the family, couldn't help but burst into tears. He had an extremely close relationship with his cousin, and it was hard for him to accept the sudden bad news.
However, for the Ye family, even though Ye Li died, he brought them immense benefits. The Emperor City publicized the identity of the Ye family as a glorious family. The patriarchs of the big families in the surrounding counties all went to the Ye family to see Ye Wujiu in person with an extremely flattering attitude.
All of a sudden, the Ye family became the number one family in several counties near Shanhai County, and their development became even faster. No one in the vicinity dared to provoke them anymore.
… … … … … …
In the Imperial City, Mei Ruoxiang stood behind Dongfang Caiyi with a look of distress on her face.
There were still traces of tears on Dongfang Caiyi's face, but her eyes had turned cold.
Her frozen heart, which had been gradually opening, closed again. Ye Li died to save her, leaving this name deeply engraved in her heart.
The pain she had experienced in the past once again came back to her heart, forcing her to close her heart.
"Grandma Mei, still no news about him?"
Dongfang Caiyi asked.
Mei Ruoxiang shook her head and said, "No, that vortex... that vortex is incredibly powerful, and no one knows how it was formed. Some people have speculated that there is probably a huge hole under the water there. If Ye Li didn't die in the monster's mouth, he must have been sucked into the hole by the huge vortex."
Hearing Mei Ruoxiang's words, Dongfang Caiyi's body trembled slightly, and her cold eyes turned red.
Dongfang Caiyi didn't speak for a long time. She just stood there quietly, in great silence.
"Grandma Mei, I want to be alone."
After a long time, Dongfang Caiyi finally spoke.
After hearing this, Mei Ruoxiang could only nod helplessly and said, "Xiao Caiyi, you still have to learn to let go of some things. Everything that happened before was just an accident.
You and Ye Li were both trying to save people, but in the end you were in danger and couldn't save yourselves. This is not your fault, you can only say it was bad luck."
Mei Ruoxiang didn't want Dongfang Caiyi to blame himself too much, so she could only say these words to comfort him.
However, Dongfang Caiyi did not answer, but fell into silence alone.
Mei Ruoxiang knew Dongfang Caiyi's temper. She looked at her and shook her head with heartache. She was also complaining in her heart, wondering why God always tortured this girl.
Knowing that Dongfang Caiyi would not speak for a while, Mei Ruoxiang could only leave the room alone, leaving Dongfang Caiyi alone for a while.
… … … … … …
Suddenly, Ye Li woke up from an endless dream. In the dream, he saw his parents and Dongfang Caiyi.
When he just woke up, he felt that he was lying in a strange stone house, surrounded by some simple daily necessities.
Just as he was about to get up to check the surrounding situation, Ye Li suddenly felt a sharp pain all over his body and he was unable to move at all.
With a slight groan of pain, Ye Li immediately lay down on the bed with rapid breathing, not daring to move.
Thoughts raced through Ye Li's mind. He had already remembered his condition before he fell into a coma, so he hurriedly checked his body.
He was shocked when he saw it. All the bones in his body seemed to be broken, but his flesh and blood were full and healthy.
After careful observation, he found that he didn't know when his flesh and blood had completely become innate. That is to say, in just the period from when he fell into a coma to when he woke up, his flesh and blood had completely become innate, and he had reached the peak of the middle stage of the gestational period.
But when he moved his perception to his dantian, he suddenly discovered that the embryo in his elixir had become extremely dim.
All the innate energy in his body had disappeared. Even if his body could produce a little innate energy under the flushing of spiritual essence, it immediately flowed into the elixir embryo, leaving nothing behind.
After a moment of shock, Ye Li couldn't help but feel a little confused as to what was going on.
After being stunned for a moment, Ye Li planned to go to the sea of consciousness to look for Tunri, but after a brief feeling, he found that his sea of consciousness had shrunk to the size of a fist.
Although the spiritual power inside is still there, the total amount is pitifully small. However, the quality of the spiritual power seems to have changed, with a faint purple color and as sticky as oil.
The crystals condensed from the power of spiritual consciousness in the past were also in the sea of spiritual consciousness, and now they seemed to have become more solid.
Feeling the purple light in his spiritual power, Ye Li couldn't help but think of the purple air and those purple crystals that originally permeated his brain.
Now it seems that the purple energy and purple crystals seem to have completely merged with his spiritual power, becoming a new kind of spiritual power.
"Senior Tunri, Senior Tunri!"
Ye Li felt that Tunri's figure was no longer in his sea of consciousness. He could only quickly pour his awareness into the Liuyanyan Suanlu in his dantian. He knew that Tunri must have been driven back into the talisman because of the drastic changes in his sea of consciousness.
"Hey, Ye Li, you're awake, that's great, you've been unconscious for a long time.
Your sea of consciousness has become a little strange now. I can't enter it for the time being, so I can only retreat back into the talisman."
When Tunri felt that Ye Li had woken up, a hint of joy suddenly appeared in his tone.
"Senior Tunri, I... where am I? How long have I been unconscious?"
Ye Li didn't dare to turn his head and could only glance around with the corner of his eyes. The environment here was very unfamiliar to him and he didn't know where he was.
Thinking about how he was sucked into the bottom of the vortex before he passed out, he felt lucky that the huge pressure didn't crush him to death.
