C1911 Zheng Xueyu's Doubt
Being manipulated like duckweed, it was better to not have a place to sit.
"I've been staying by Eldest Miss's side all these years. I'm used to it."
Ye Lingtian lowered his head to look at the brand-new clothes and said softly, "You have to wait for Miss Luo Luo to come before you can leave."
"It's very recent for me to have connections."
Zheng Xueyu turned to look at Ye Lingtian and tried to persuade him, "It's better if you leave as soon as possible. If they dare to attack you ruthlessly, there will definitely be a second time in the future."
Ye Lingtian grinned and wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth: "This time, I suffered a loss. I'll just be fine next time I don't want to do something impulsive, right?"
Zheng Xueyu frowned, "It's fine to endure once, or two or three times if you have to bear with a knife in front of your head, but you can't bear with it forever."
"Even immortals can get a bit angry, so how about an eight foot tall man?"
"Just like yesterday, you and Shunzi, weren't you two unable to hold it in?"
Ye Lingtian looked at Zheng Xueyuqing's cold expression and could not help but think of Qin Xueying. He laughed, "I did not hold back because I felt that my Cultivation Level was about to reach the level of a cultivator, but who would have thought that it would still be lacking."
"Shut up!" Zheng Xueyu slammed the table and stood up.
"What cultivator?" Hurry up and put that thought out of your mind! If this continues, it will not be good for us to enter the mortal world! "
This Zheng Xueyu was even more stubborn than Xueying!
Ye Lingtian paused, then said with determination, "It's not that I'm delusional, but I feel that the speed of my Cultivation Level has increased tremendously recently, and my comprehension ability has also become stronger and stronger …"
"You're still talking?!"
Zheng Xueyu snapped as she pointed at Ye Lingtian with her jade-like fingers. Her eyes turned red from anger.
"That's exactly the idea that almost took your life! Even after walking through the gates of hell, it still hasn't changed! "
Ye Lingtian couldn't be bothered to continue arguing with Zheng Xueyu. He closed his eyes and said softly, "Time will prove everything. If Eldest Miss doesn't believe me, I can't help it."
Seeing Ye Lingtian being so stubborn, Zheng Xueyu was so angry that she gasped for breath, and said coldly, "Fine! You can do it, but cultivators are above others wherever they go, so why stay in the Zheng Family? "
"Tomorrow, I will tell the clan head, that you will be given freedom and a grand display of your plans!"
Ye Lingtian looked at Zheng Xueyu quietly and said in a deep voice, "I will not leave the Zheng Family. The moment you stay in the Zheng Family, I will stay in the Zheng Family."
"This is the promise I made to the Patriarch. If you expel me from the Zheng Family, it would be to let me die!"
Zheng Xueyu looked at Ye Lingtian from head to toe and felt that the man in front of her was a stranger. Previously, Ye Lingtian would never have used such a tone to talk to him.
He looked at Ye Lingtian's eyes. The pair of extremely clear eyes from before had now become unfathomably deep.
Had he changed, too, after all this?
"I am the Lord, you are a slave, you have no right to speak!" Zheng Xueyu regretted her words the moment they left her mouth.
Although Zheng Xueyu was the master on the surface, she had treated Ye Lingtian like her brother all these years.
With such a large Zheng Family, Ye Lingtian was the only one who truly treated her with respect, and was also the only person Zheng Xueyu could rely on in terms of Zheng Family.
It sounded like a joke, but it was an ironclad fact.
Without Ye Lingtian's meticulous care, it was really hard to say what Zheng Xueyu looked like.
Ye Lingtian picked up a towel to wipe away the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"I don't care what kind of Shangyin City it is, so what? There is no difference between master and servant in this courtyard. I have my own choice, and I also have my own dignity."
Zheng Xueyu's eyes widened. She felt that Ye Lingtian, who was standing in front of her, was very unfamiliar, but … Wasn't he doing what he wanted?
Zheng Xueyu was delighted. Unfortunately, like Qin Xueying, Zheng Xueyu was so cold that no emotions could be seen on her face.
"Do you know how outrageous your words are just now?" Zheng Xueyu walked behind the door and turned around to ask Ye Lingtian.
"I don't know. I only know that in Zheng Family, you need me."
Ye Lingtian looked up at Zheng Xueyu, and said word by word: "Don't worry about my injuries, I can take care of it. From now on, we will have a new start in Zheng Family."
"The new beginning isn't important. The important thing is that you're alive. I'll come see you again tomorrow!"
Zheng Xueyu opened the door to her room and watched as the snowy sky drifted away.
Daybreak, the snow was still falling.
Before Zheng Xueyu could get up from her bed, a knock sounded on the door.
Zheng Xueyu frowned as she opened the door. "You should take care of your injuries."
"Wounds can't be recuperated just by sitting on the bed. Occasionally, when you exercise, it would greatly benefit your recovery."
As Ye Lingtian said this, he served the dishes to Zheng Xueyu one by one. He smiled at her and said, "Hurry up and try out my cooking skills."
Zheng Xueyu looked at the dishes on the table and said, "Put your wrist on the table."
"Wait for me to put away the chopsticks."
Ye Lingtian sat down after cleaning up and smiled.
"I got up early to make a meal and felt much better than yesterday."
Zheng Xueyu didn't waste her breath on Ye Lingtian. She pressed her wrist lightly, making her eyebrows scrunch into a line.
Ye Lingtian retracted his arm, and handed the chopsticks to Zheng Xueyu: "I'm not lying to you, the Cultivation Level has advanced by leaps and bounds, as for why it has such a change, I'm not too sure either."
"Alright, stop hurting your spirit over this. Hurry up and have a taste of today's food."
Zheng Xueyu didn't extend her hand to receive it, but traces of sadness appeared on her cold face.
"Previously, you wouldn't sit down and eat with me."
Ye Lingtian was stunned, "Uh, that was before, but now …"
Zheng Xueyu lowered her head to look at her feet, biting her red lips as she replied, "Previously, your celestial spiritual energy wasn't that strong."
Ye Lingtian squeezed out a smile on his face and explained in a low voice.
"I really don't know what happened to me …"
"You're not Ye Lingtian!"
Zheng Xueyu looked at Ye Lingtian and asked word by word, "Who are you?"
Ye Lingtian almost leaned his head on the table: "Miss, your thinking is jumping too fast, I can't keep up."
Zheng Xueyu's eyes were red as she stared at Ye Lingtian with her cold eyes.
"Is that Ye Lingtian that I know dead? Are you the soul of the expert that is attached to his body? "
This Zheng Xueyu was too shrewd.
Ye Lingtian placed the chopsticks in front of Zheng Xueyu and said slowly, "The me that you see now is different from before. It's because I wandered around the gates of hell."
"Wandering alone at the gates of hell for a while. There will be changes after I wake up."
Zheng Xueyu looked at the chopsticks in front of her and finally relaxed.
She picked up a piece of stir-fried broccoli and gently chewed it. She heaved a long sigh of relief.
"No matter how many times you say don't be so indifferent, you just won't listen. You can't always agree with my taste."
As Zheng Xueyu said this, she took Ye Lingtian's empty bowl, picked up a few pieces of Red Braised Meat and pushed them in front of Ye Lingtian.
Ye Lingtian looked at the Red Braised Meat in the bowl and said with a smile, "Is Miss still testing me?"
Zheng Xueyu replied in a clear voice, "What do you mean?"
"In the past, I obviously wouldn't eat this bowl of Red Braised Meat."
Ye Lingtian picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of Red Braised Meat and started eating.
"I can eat now, because as I said last night, in this courtyard, from now on, there is no difference between master and servant."
Zheng Xueyu stood up and walked into her room. After a while, she brought out a Wood Box and laid it on the table.
Ye Lingtian looked at Zheng Xueyu in confusion. "What are you going to do?"
"Today, no one in the Zheng Family will teach you a high grade mental cultivation method."
"In that case, this mental cultivation method is useless to me."
Zheng Xueyu pushed the Wood Box in front of Ye Lingtian.
Ye Lingtian looked at Wood Box and smiled at Zheng Xueyu: "The reason they are forcing you like this is because of this mental cultivation method."
Zheng Xueyu stubbornly said, "If they don't follow father's path, father's comprehension will naturally not be given to them."
"If I give this mental cultivation method to you, father will agree if he has a spirit in heaven."
Ye Lingtian shook his head and pushed the Wood Box back.
"A man's wealth is his own fault. Don't you think giving this mental cultivation method to me would harm me?"
"Who would believe that I would hand over my mental cultivation method to you?" Zheng Xueyu pushed the mental cultivation method over again.
Ye Lingtian sighed and smiled to Zheng Xueyu: "Everyone has their own way of life. The comprehension of this Cultivation Level might not suit me."
Zheng Xueyuvinegar frowned, "If he hasn't cultivated, how would he know if he's suitable?"
"It's still that same line, because I've walked through the gates of hell!"
Ye Lingtian picked up the Wood Box, held it with both of his hands and bowed: "Thank you for your good intentions, Miss."
Seeing how stubborn Ye Lingtian was, Zheng Xueyu whispered, "I'll keep this mental cultivation method in my custody. Tell me about it when you want to see it."
When Zheng Xueyu brought the Wood Box into the house, Ye Lingtian suddenly asked: "Miss, how much savings do you have?"
Zheng Xueyu stopped and turned around to look at Ye Lingtian. "Useful?"
Ye Lingtian nodded.
After a while, Zheng Xueyu came out of her room and put 20 silver coins on the table.
In Zheng Family, not to mention the direct line of descent, even the direct line of servants only had savings of gold coins. As the only daughter of the previous Patriarch, all of her savings only amounted to twenty gold coins.
Ye Lingtian took out ten silver coins and smiled to Zheng Xueyu: "I'll go to Myriad Pill Hall later to buy some herbs."
"Take them. Don't tell me what you want."
Zheng Xueyu picked up her chopsticks and said as she ate, "The day after tomorrow, the housekeeper will send us next month. We'll be fine if we don't starve to death."
Ye Lingtian didn't stand on ceremony as he also put the rest of the silver coins into his pocket. He smiled at Zheng Xueyu with great gratitude and said, "Thank you, First Miss."
"Eat." Zheng Xueyu tapped her chopsticks on her plate. "It's cold. The food is going to get cold."

After dinner, Ye Lingtian was about to clean up the dishes, but Zheng Xueyu stopped Ye Lingtian, implying that it was more important for him to recuperate from his injuries and hurry to the Myriad Pill Hall to purchase medicinal herbs.
If it was the Ye Lingtian from before, he would definitely shirk his responsibility. But now, Ye Lingtian didn't have the intention to shirk his responsibility.
The situation was actually even more dire than they had imagined. Someone with Zheng Family could make a move against Zheng Xueyu's servants, who knew what else they could do, so it was crucial for them to quickly raise their strength.
When Ye Lingtian came out from the back door, the Zheng Family guards looked at Ye Lingtian as if he was a ghost.
Shunzi punched him in the chest. This brat didn't die. Wasn't he too lucky?
