Chapter 88 Chapter One, praising Ye Sheng (second update)
The results of the west mountain hunting spread throughout Xianyang. Ye Sheng became famous overnight in Xianyang
The twelve sons of the Ye family were mentioned by people and discussed after dinner.
In particular, the story of Ye Sheng was also fabricated by storytellers and became the resentment of the rich and powerful families discussed by the people.
He was not valued, suffered hardships, and then quietly rose to the top and entered Jixia Academy. In the end, in order to get back his mother’s magic treasure, he resolutely participated in the west mountain hunting and went through all kinds of difficulties to win the first place.
This kind of story was both true and false. After making it up, it became popular in Xianyang that very night.
When Ye Sheng returned to Jixia Academy, his name had already completely spread.
The number one person in Jixia Academy, who knew who it was, had spread out. When Ye Sheng heard it, his expression was a little ugly.
The limelight was too great. It was as if someone was grilling him over a fire.
He had won first place in the west mountain hunting competition. It might seem impressive, but in the eyes of some important figures, it was just a small matter. It was worth being happy about, but it was not worth spreading
This reputation came at an inappropriate time.
Ye Sheng immediately chose to hide his strength and bide his time. He entered the monastery and did not return to his own room. This greatly disappointed many people who came to build a relationship with him.
Inside the monastery, Second Senior Brother Dao Ming saw Ye Sheng return and said happily, “Congratulations, little junior brother. The first place in the west mountain hunting competition has greatly increased the prestige of master and me.”
Ye Sheng also greeted him and said, “Hello, second senior brother. Where’s Master?”
After seeing Dao Ming, his cultivation had already reached the fifth heaven of soul nurturing. How long had it been? He had risen from nothing to the fifth heaven. He was at the same realm as Ye Sheng and was even faster than Ye Sheng.
Dao Ming pointed to the alchemy workshop and said, “Master is waiting for you inside.”
Ye Sheng immediately bid farewell to Dao Ming and headed to the Alchemy Workshop.
In the alchemy workshop, priest Qing Xu was dressed in a simple Daoist robe. His hair was combed neatly and looked quite clean. When he saw Ye Sheng, he asked, “How does it feel to get first place?”
Ye Sheng thought carefully and said, “Happy, happy, doubtful, worried.”
Priest Qingxu stared at Ye Sheng with great interest. “Why are you still doubtful and worried?”
Ye Sheng sat down, he said, “I was naturally happy to get first place in the beginning, and then I got my mother’s magic treasure. Naturally, I was happy. “But it’s only been a day, and my name has spread to Xianyang. Every family is talking about it, and they are a little confused. “Back at Jixia Academy, everyone is saying that I’m the number one in the academy, and everyone is praising me, but I’m worried.”
Priest Qingxu said in satisfaction, “You are still sober. You were not blinded by your momentary achievements. It is possible for you to become the number one person in Xianyang, but it is impossible for it to spread throughout Xianyang in a day. I heard that your story has been edited into a book and spread by word of mouth. Someone is trying to kill you on purpose.”
Ye Sheng nodded seriously. He thought so too.
If this was an ordinary young man, he would probably be floating in the air immediately. Then, he would definitely plummet in the following days.
“When will his majesty distribute the rewards?”Priest Qingxu asked. Ye Sheng said, “Three days later, the top ten will be brought into the royal library to watch for a day. The rewards will also be distributed at that time.”
“These three days, you will refine pills with me. Then, you will go and retrieve the things. Or you will refine pills with me. After a period of time, the heat will dissipate. If you don’t appear, the people who flattered and killed you will naturally be helpless. Moreover, with me blocking the way for you, no one will dare to say anything about you,”Priest Qingxu said.
Ye Sheng knelt down. “Thank you, Master.”
“Get up and continue to refine the barrier-breaking pill for me. Let’s see if you are familiar with it. If you are familiar with it, we will learn how to refine the next pill,”Priest Qingxu said with a smile.
The entire Xianyang was praising Ye Sheng, but the main character, Ye Sheng, had disappeared.
No one could find Ye Sheng. All sorts of invitations were sent to Ye Sheng’s door, but the door was tightly shut. There was no one inside.
Everyone was discussing where Ye Sheng was going?
Following that, Jixia Academy monastery sent an announcement. The general meaning was that Ye Sheng had been locked up by Priest Qingxu and did not see anyone.
When this news came out, many people were disappointed and frustrated, but they could not blame Ye Sheng. They could only blame Priest Qingxu for locking up the first round of the West Mountain Hunt. What kind of operation was this?
Hu Mingyu from the Hu family heard the news and his face darkened. He said unhappily, “So no one can see Ye Sheng?”
“Yes, outsiders are not allowed to enter the monastery. If Ye Sheng doesn’t come out, no one can find him,”the Butler said in a low voice.
“This Ye Sheng is really lucky. Priest Qingxu settled everything for him. Otherwise, I can lift him up high and throw him down heavily, “Hu Mingyu said with a sneer.
“Young master, if this Ye Sheng doesn’t come out, should we continue to kill him?”The Butler asked.
Hu Mingyu thought for a moment, he said, “Continue. If he doesn’t come out, we won’t kill him. Wouldn’t it be very easy for others to see through it? Regardless of whether he is affected or not, I will raise him up high. I don’t believe that a young man doesn’t care about his reputation at all?”
The butler nodded and said, “I understand.”
“Oh right, young master, the Second Lady of the Ye residence has sent a letter.”The Butler handed over a letter.
Hu Mingyu raised her eyebrows and said, “Why is aunt writing a letter?”
He opened the letter and looked at it. His expression became joyful.
“Butler, continue to kill Ye Sheng for me. Increase your strength and make ye Sheng the pride of the Ye residence. Compared to Ye Sheng, Ye Kun is simply the difference between heaven and earth. Remember, be more subtle when you praise him,”Hu Mingyu reminded him.
“I understand, young master. But why did you flatter ye Sheng and trample on Ye Kun?”The Butler asked doubtfully.
“Flatter ye Sheng. Ye Sheng hid and didn’t show up. He thought he could avoid this storm, but I just made him restless. Someone would kill him before we even had to do anything, “Hu Mingyu said proudly.
The Butler’s expression changed. “Are you talking about the First Lady of the Ye Residence?”
Hu mingyu said, “You’re not stupid. Aunt Just wrote in the letter that the First Lady of ye mansion is close to going crazy. We only need to add fuel to the fire. The first lady will definitely do her best to kill Ye Sheng and avenge her son.”
“Also, you spread the news that Ye Sheng is the murderer of Ye Kun. I’m sure the people of Xianyang would like to hear about brothers killing each other. Whether it’s true or not, in People’s hearts, Ye Sheng is the murderer of Ye Kun. He is the one who stepped on Ye Kun to get first place. A Lie is a lie if one person says it. A Lie is a lie if a hundred people say it. But when ten thousand people say it, it is the truth.”Hu Mingyu smiled coldly, he was very good at scheming and scheming.
The Butler said in a low voice, “This old servant understands. I’ll go and arrange it now.”
“Use cleaner methods. Don’t let anyone find any traces of us, “Hu Mingyu warned.
The butler nodded and turned to leave.
Hu Mingyu looked at the letter in his hand and placed it on the candle flame, slowly burning it, he said, “Ye Sheng, ah, Ye Sheng, sometimes you don’t need to do it yourself to kill people. Rumors are the most vicious killing knife skills. If you didn’t win first place, I would have to think about how to deal with you instead. But now, how do you resolve this situation?”
