On the way, Liu Yan began to talk. Ye Nantian had left behind a box of books and brought them all along with a Night Pearl.

"Is there a token?" Ye Henghai asked.

"Yes, in the box."

A light flashed through Ye Henghai's eyes, he immediately nodded and asked, "Little brother, what do you do?"

"I'm a chicken farmer. I started a company and came here to investigate that day. I wanted to turn the orchard in this village into a chicken farm, but when I saw your father, I became very curious and ran over …"

Liu Yan shrunk his neck, revealing a terrified expression. "I didn't think too much about it at that time. I was too curious, so I ran over. Only later on did I find out that this grandpa isn't an ordinary person. His body was struck by lightning and still hasn't died yet."

Liu Yan had practiced these words in his heart many times already. When it came out, it was very natural. He didn't want to have too much contact with this mysterious and powerful family, so he tried his best to disguise himself as an ordinary person.

"My father is indeed not an ordinary person." Among the two brothers in the military uniform that had been silent the whole time, the one called Ye Henghe finally opened his mouth, his tone revealed a hint of pride.

"Is he a god?" Liu Yan cautiously asked.

The key was that these three old men who could be called the floral armor actually also walked as if they were flying, and were not affected by the rugged terrain at all. This caused Liu Yan to be secretly surprised, and he became even more certain that these three people must also have the identity of cultivators.

"Little brother, your stamina is quite good." Ye Henghai casually said.

Liu Yan laughed dryly, "I grew up in the countryside. I've walked this kind of mountain road many times. It's nothing. I might not be able to go up the mountain later."

"I can take a rest later."

Liu Yan also followed the route in his memory, turning left and right as he walked. He was a little tired, so he simply relied on a tree to rest, treating himself as an ordinary person with insufficient strength.

After resting, the three of them continued on their journey. Roughly an hour later, Liu Yan finally found the place where he was struck by lightning.

When the three brothers saw the fallen trees on the ground, their expressions immediately became heavy. They ignored Liu Yan and ran over to check, then whispered to each other as if they were discussing something.

"He actually attracted the heavenly tribulation … the old tutor is about to break through …"

"What a pity, the first Emptiness Realm Expert in China …"

"The lordmaster is too old after all, and his spirit energy has been drained. If it'd been ten years ago, he'd have been able to make a breakthrough …"

Liu Yan did not go over, but he had good hearing. He could hear their chatter, but he did not understand what they were saying. He also knew that they were talking about Ye Nantian's cultivation level.

A few minutes later, Ye Henghai signaled Liu Yan to continue leading the way.

Upon arriving, Liu Yan was already familiar with the route and quickly arrived at the cave.

"Dad!" Liu Yan pointed at the small graveyard, and the three brothers shouted out together. They moved as fast as they could, and immediately rushed over and knelt in front of the grave.

Liu Yan thought for a moment and decided not to head over. Instead, he turned around and walked toward the cave.

Having lost the Night Pearls, the cave was pitch black. However, after a few seconds, Liu Yan had gotten used to the darkness of the cave. Borrowing a little light from the outside, he was able to see everything clearly.

Nothing had changed, no wild beasts had come, and not even a single person had come. Liu Yan touched the marks left by the fingers on the cave wall, and a wave of yearning passed through him. Just how far did he have to cultivate to be able to achieve this level of skill?

After a while, Ye Henghai's shout came from outside. Only then did Liu Yan walk out, and when he saw the changed tomb, he was shocked.

The weeds around the small earth grave had been cleared away, and the incense candles brought by the three brothers were lit in front of the grave. Smoke curled up in the air and drifted away with the autumn wind.

"Did my father explain anything to his body?" Ye Henghai asked.

"He said that it's good that he's staying here. In the future, when the middle star in the clear and bright world comes, the later generations will come to offer sacrifices to their ancestors. So this is the place." Liu Yan answered immediately. He didn't understand why Ye Nantian would arrange things like this.

The three brothers looked at each other and all shook their heads and sighed. Ye Henghe said, "The old man has always abided by the word destiny. Before he left, he also said that if he died, he would be buried here."

Liu Yan nodded his head in agreement. So Ye Nantian had this idea a long time ago. What a weird idea.

They looked at the wooden stake on the side, and touched the marks on it, feeling dejected and depressed. When they entered the cave and saw the traces left behind by Ye Nantian, Ye Henghai could not help but cry out and kneel on the ground.

Liu Yan was also very sad, but he was even more sure that Ye Henghai was also a cultivator. Otherwise, how could he have clearly seen the traces on the cave wall?

"Dad!" The other two brothers couldn't help feeling sad too. Now that Ye Nantian had passed away, only people who knew the ruins of Ye Nantian could see it. Even though they were in high positions, they couldn't hide their sorrow.

Ye Henghai stood up. Just like Liu Yan, he touched the traces of this place. At this moment, he was like a flower armored old man. His expression was dispirited, and he was even staggering while walking.

"I'll go outside." Liu Yan tactfully left.

But after waiting outside for a short while, Ye Henghai came out. The mountain breeze blew against his silky Tang suit, revealing his skinny body. At this moment, his hair was a bit messy, his eyes were red and swollen, but his temperament was still extraordinary, calm and steady.

"Did my father take you as a disciple?" Ye Henghai's straightforward words had completely stunned Liu Yan.

"No..." Liu Yan subconsciously shook his head.

Ye Henghai lightly laughed, turned his head towards the small grave and slowly said, "I am also a cultivator, and I can feel the true qi in your body. If you are not a cultivator, how could you see the old man undergoing his tribulation? He has been cultivating for decades, and countless noble sons and disciples have broken through the threshold of our Ye family, wanting to take in a disciple for our old man. However, the old man has never done so, and to him, this is also a pity. He left home for ten years in his later years, partly to break through, and partly to find a suitable successor … "

Speaking to here, Ye Henghai turned his head to look at Liu Yan, "When the old gramps accepts a disciple, he will definitely send him to the Ye Family, because only the Ye Family can cultivate a strong cultivator, and there is no news of him coming. He has always believed in the word fate, and if he meets you on the verge of death, that is the greatest fate, if he does not accept you as his disciple, then it would not be the old gramps style. You have been disguising yourself as an ordinary person all along, but do you know that there are loopholes everywhere? "

Liu Yan was completely speechless. What a powerful reasoning ability!

"Why didn't you tell me?" Ye Henghai asked.

Liu Yan gave an embarrassed smile and said, "I don't want to be involved with your Ye Family. That way, it will seriously affect my current life."

Ye Henghai was stunned, his brows knitted, the gaze in his eyes was like a sharp sword, pointed straight at Liu Yan's eyes.

It seems that this idea was already thought of before you saw me, I'm very confused, although you don't know the power of my Ye family in China, but the old man is one of the top three masters in China, you should know the position of my Ye family with your toes, I think for anyone, just relying on the Ye family will make you rise to the top, not to mention my Ye family is a cultivation family, and you are a cultivator, and you are the only disciple of the old man, you can imagine your status in my Ye family ….

Liu Yan couldn't help but laugh. After Ye Henghai had said this much, he had only revealed a single piece of information. The Ye Family was not that strong, and he had already guessed this long ago.

"I know that master is very strong. He said that he was equivalent to a hundred nuclear bombs because the Ye family is too strong, and I don't want to get into a relationship with them. I'm just a rural person who hasn't even finished high school. And I have my own career, and everything I have is in this county, and I can't leave here, and I don't want to be disturbed by anything else. " Liu Yan explained slowly.

Ye Henghai chuckled twice, still not understanding.

"Who knows how many people would want to obtain a little benefit from my Ye family that was rejected. And now you're the only disciple of the old gramps, and the benefits you receive are unimaginable. You can completely change your fate and become an outstanding person …" Ye Henghai slowly shook his head.

Liu Yan said, "I just don't want to change it."

"Haha, good." Ye Henghai laughed openly, he did not insist, but eventually he nodded and said, "But no matter what, you are still a member of my Ye Family, your status is equal to mine. That medallion is the old man's identity medallion, I will give it to you, in the future, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you can always find the Ye Family."

These words were so domineering that Liu Yan's heart moved when he heard them. After all, this was a strong backing. Unfortunately, the more they were like this, the more he did not want to touch upon that kind of status.

After paying respects to Ye Nantian, the three brothers paused in front of the grave for a long time as they exchanged words that Liu Yan did not understand and talked about all sorts of noble things.

Ye Henghai waved his hand. His face was full of sadness and reluctance. He turned around three times in a single step and left the peaceful resting place of Ye Nantian.

The group returned to the parking lot. Su Yun immediately got out of the car with an umbrella. Liu Yan stepped forward and held her cold hand, giving her a reassured look.

"Is there a village nearby?" Ye Henghai asked. Although it was drizzling, the three brothers didn't get any rain on their bodies.

Liu Yan nodded his head and looked at him doubtfully. After which, he suggested that they should take a look at the village.

Liu Yan led the way towards the Ba Gou village, coincidentally at the village entrance. Under a dirt road, a cattle cart slowly climbed up, led by Wen Zhoushu. Liu Yan told Ye Henghai that it was time to get off the cart.

"Aiya, it's CEO Liu. Why did he suddenly come over?" Wen Qianyu was both surprised and happy at the same time. She hurriedly stopped Liu Yan's cart.

"Hurry up and go up. I've brought two friends here to take a look at the scenery." Liu Yan was full of smiles as he pushed the carriage upwards.

The ox-cart quickly arrived. Wen Chong was very cordial as he hurriedly took out a pile of green oranges and gave them to the three Ye Henghai brothers. Liu Yan also asked for two and gave one to Su Yun.

"Old man, are you a branch of this village?" Ye Henghai smelled the citrus and asked.

"Right, right, right..." Wen Qishu nodded. Facing this kind of guest, he seemed somewhat nervous as he constantly glanced at Liu Yan.

Ye Henghai gently smiled and said, "We came from the provincial capital and want to establish a protected area here. We would like to chat with you and bring us for a walk in the village."

"What... "Protected area?" Wen Qianyu was completely dumbfounded. She turned to look at Liu Yan.

Liu Yan nodded his head. "They are all from influential backgrounds."

Wen Zishu quickly nodded. He could naturally tell that this military uniform and Tang suit were not something an ordinary person could wear.
