Star River Holy King

3Ye Mingyang walked very slowly along the way. His mind was in a mess right now. Initially, he had been preparing to discuss his father's plan when he woke up this morning, but he didn't expect that his father would disappear without a trace. After asking Uncle Lee, he said that his father was still sleeping and it wasn't convenient for him to disturb him.    2

    

He immediately realized that something was wrong. From the moment he remembered something... Then his father was not a sleep-avaricious person. There must be another reason. He did not believe Uncle Lee's words. Instead, he barged into Ye Shan's room. Unexpectedly, his guess was right. Ye Shan was not in this room anymore. After Uncle Lee turned the tables and asked, Uncle Lee said that Ye Shan had already left the room a long time ago. He even left a message for Uncle Lee, saying that Ye Mingyang would look for him later. He said that he was still resting and could not be disturbed.    

    

Ye Mingyang thought for a moment and said to himself, Not good. Today was Gu Tang's first day of becoming a Peerless Emperor. Judging from his father's attitude these few days... He had already given up on resisting. Today, he was afraid that he had gone to the ancient prefecture. Ye Mingyang naturally knew what would happen if he went to the ancient prefecture. He was afraid that he had surrendered to Gu Tang in exchange for the chance to live in the Ye family.    

    

Ye Mingyang immediately ran over. Fortunately, he arrived in time when Ye Shan knelt down. If he was a step late, he was afraid that Ye Shan would have already knelt down.    

    

Along the way, both father and son were silent. Ye Mingyang didn't know how to tell Ye Shan, and Ye Shan didn't know how to explain it to Ye Mingyang. They just walked in silence.    

    

On the side of the road, many people stopped and looked at the father and son. How could they not recognize him? This was the Marquis Ye in Star Sculpting City and his son, Ye Mingyang. One of them was the Marquis Ye whose name had shaken the entire Star Sculpting City, and the other was a young genius who had recently become famous.    

    

However, they were a little haggard right now. Ye Shan's originally straight back was now bent, and his face was full of anxiety.    

    

"Why is Marquis Ye looking like this today?"    

    

"I heard that Marquis Ye and his son came from that ancient prefecture. I'm afraid that something has happened."    

    

"That's right. Now, Gu Tang has become the Sovereign King of Star Sculpting City. The Ye family and Gu Tang didn't get along well, especially last time when Gu Tang joined forces with the three major families to destroy the Ye family. I'm afraid that the two families have already reached a place where no one can stop them from killing each other. Now, Gu Tang has become the Sovereign King of Star Sculpting City. It seems like the Ye family won't have any good days to live."    

    

Those passers-by whispered amongst themselves, even though they were outside of the city. However, the current situation in Star Sculpting City was crystal clear. Some of them sighed for the Ye family, and some of them felt injustice for the Ye family. But all of this had nothing to do with them, because they were just ordinary people. No matter who the Sovereign King of Star Sculpting City was, it had nothing to do with them. In any case, the sun would rise tomorrow as usual. It was just that these things added some topics of conversation before and after the tea.    

    

"Father, we're home." Ye Mingyang had already walked to the entrance of the Ye family.    

    

Ye Shan's face was still as pale as before, and his eyes were blank. He didn't say anything, he just nodded his head slightly, and just like that, the two of them walked towards the entrance of the Ye family.    

    

"Young master, what happened?" Uncle Lee saw Ye Mingyang and Ye Shan at first glance, but at this moment, it was as if Ye Shan's strength had been taken away by someone. He looked weak and weak, and he could only rely on Ye Mingyang's support to walk forward.    

    

Ye Mingyang looked at Uncle Lee and said, "Uncle Lee, go and get us some sweet drinks. I have something to discuss with father."    

    

Uncle Lee nodded. He immediately walked to the large hall and prepared to make tea.    

    

Ye Mingyang did not stop. Instead, he walked towards the large hall.    

    

Just like that, the two of them entered the main hall. Ye Mingyang helped Ye Shan sit on the chair, and Ye Mingyang sat down beside him. There was a pot of freshly brewed hot tea on the small table between him and Ye Shan. It must be the pot of sweet tea that he had ordered Uncle Lee to brew.    

    

Ye Mingyang looked at Uncle Lee who was standing beside him and said, "Uncle Lee, you can go down first. I have something to discuss with my father. If anything happens later, I will call you."    

    

Uncle Lee nodded slightly after hearing Ye Mingyang's words. He turned around and walked out of the hall. A moment later, only Ye Mingyang and Ye Shan were left in the hall.    

    

Ye Mingyang raised his hand and poured two cups of tea for Ye Shan. He gave one cup to himself. He just put the tea beside him. He did not drink it. After an unknown period of time, the hot tea had cooled down. The two of them still had no intention of drinking it.    

    

Ye Mingyang poured the tea into the bowl again and then poured two cups of hot tea. Ye Shan watched Ye Mingyang pour the tea. His eyes moved but he didn't say anything.    

    

Ye Mingyang and Ye Shan did not drink the tea in the bowl. Ye Mingyang poured the hot tea into the bowl again. After a few times, Ye Shan frowned. "Mingyang, you want to pour the tea because you don't want to drink it," he said.    

    

Ye Mingyang looked at Ye Shan and said, "If it was father, I would have to pour this tea for him."    

    

"If I don't drink it, why don't you drink it?" Ye Shan was a little puzzled.    

    

"Because my father is the patriarch of the Ye family. My father has taught me since I was a child that elders are respected. If my father didn't touch this tea, how would I dare to touch it?"    

    

After listening to Ye Mingyang's words, a complicated look flashed across Ye Shan's eyes. He had no idea how he would face his son after what had happened this morning. The once lofty and heroic King Martial Marquis had died in the future. Now, he was just a coward who was willing to compromise. If Ye Mingyang hadn't arrived in time in the morning, he was afraid that he would have knelt down in front of Gu Tang.    

    

"Mingyang, I hope you won't look down on me. I don't want you to die because you are my son. I don't want this huge Ye family to disappear just like that, because this is the hard work and foundation of my ancestors." Ye Shan's voice was choked with sobs. He was afraid that his son would look down on him. He was even more afraid that the foundation of his ancestors would be destroyed in his hands, even though he was Marquis Ye. Everyone was afraid of losing their most precious thing. He was the same, but he couldn't show it because he was Marquis. Since it was Martial Marquis, he should show off his lofty sentiments. How could he have the mentality of being wronged?    

    

Tears could be seen in Ye Mingyang's eyes as he said, "Father, I know what you have done for the Ye family, but I just don't want father to submit to Gu Tang and give the Ye family a chance to live."    

    

At this moment, Ye Shan clenched his fists tightly. He was regretting what he had done this morning. He had really tarnished the reputation of the Ye family's ancestors. He then looked at Ye Mingyang's face. He felt a little heartache. Ye Mingyang had been indifferent to him since he was young. He had never thought that the young man who had been called trash by others had now grown into a man who could hold up the heavens and support the earth. This made Ye Shan feel somewhat gratified.    

    

"Mingyang, thank you." Ye Shan touched Ye Mingyang's face. This face, which still looked young and tender, was now filled with determination.    

    

He looked at Ye Mingyang and smiled. "Father, I have said before that I am the son of Martial Marquis. Even if I die, I will die with honor. I have always wanted to be a hero like father since I was young."    

    

"Good!" Indeed, he was a good son of his father. If your mother's soul in heaven could see that you have grown into such a resolute man, he would certainly feel gratified.    

    

Upon hearing Ye Shan's words, Ye Mingyang's pupils contracted, and his breathing became rapid. Because this time, he had never mentioned his mother to his father before. He wanted to ask Ye Shan about his mother, but after thinking about it, he gave up on the idea. It was better not to mention about what he had experienced this morning. Otherwise, his father would be worried again. It was better to talk about it next time. Ye Mingyang made up his mind in his heart. As long as he could survive this tribulation... He would definitely ask his father about this. If he couldn't even pass this tribulation... So what if he knew?    

    

Ye Mingyang watched as Ye Shan slowly walked out from his depression. He finally let out a long sigh of relief in his heart. He was most worried that his father would not be able to get up for a period of time.    

    

He poured out the cup of hot tea again and made two cups of tea. He said to Ye Shan, "Father, I heard from Uncle Lee that this sweet tea is your favorite. I heard that you also spat it into this bowl when you first drank it."    

    

Ye Shan no longer looked as depressed as before. His originally pale face had a trace of blood on it. He said, "That's right. Back then, I spat it into this sputum in one mouthful." After saying this, a smile actually appeared on his somewhat face. He continued to speak to Ye Mingyang, "However, later on, I heard that this tea's name is Ganlai. After the bitterness, there was a faint sweetness in it. After that, I fell in love with this tea. From then on, I would brew a pot every day. When you are in seclusion, you can't drink this kind of sweetness. I still feel a little uncomfortable. " After saying that, Ye Shan picked up the teacup and took a sip. He closed his eyes and slowly tasted it.    

    

Not long later, he opened his eyes and said to Ye Mingyang, "Could it be that Mingyang also likes this sweetness?" Ye Shan thought in his heart. In the past, he had never seen his youngest son like drinking tea. He did not expect that he would come back today to make a pot of his favorite Ganlai for himself, opening the knot in his heart. He had really put in a lot of effort.    

    

Ye Mingyang nodded and said, "That day, I was just like father, the first time I spat into the sputum bowl. At first, I thought that the tea was broken, or else how could it be so bitter. But after I asked Uncle Lee, I found out that the tea was called Ganlai. So it turns out to be bitter before sweet. It is truly wonderful. That is why I fell in love with this tea from that moment on. "    

    

Ye Shan could not help but laugh loudly when he heard this. He said, "Mingyang is indeed my father's good son. Why is it that this tea is exactly the same as my father's tea?"    

    

Ye Mingyang nodded and said, "Right now, our situation is just like this. Although it is extremely bitter right now... But I'm sure it'll get better in a while." Ye Mingyang said these words to let Ye Shan slowly feel at ease. This was also the reason why he was willing to spend so much time with ___. As long as he didn't feel despair... There would always be a day when all his hard work would come to an end.    

    

When Ye Shan heard this, he slowly understood. It turned out that this Ye Mingyang had such a good intention. He absolutely could not be as depressed as before because of today's matter, just like what Ye Mingyang had said just now. Although it was incomparably bitter right now, he would get better one day.    

    

Ye Shan nodded and said, "Mingyang is right. As long as we persist, there will always be a day when our suffering comes to an end."    

    

After saying that, Ye Shan took another sip of the tea in his hand. "Today, Gu Tang is being so aggressive. I'm afraid that it won't be long before he attacks. Although he is the king of Star Sculpting City, he wants to attack us. We need an excuse. We have to be careful during this period of time. "    

    

"En, father is right." Ye Mingyang said to Ye Shan.    

    

However, that excuse could be either big or small. What kind of excuse would Gu Tang use? Ye Mingyang thought to himself.
