Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 282 (8 years ago)

Of course, Ye Qing didn't point it out.

Looking back now, Ye Qing felt that there was something strange about Lu Guyang asking him to come over.

He had thought there was something important going on, but now it all seemed like nonsense. It seemed he just wanted to see him because of his parents, and everything else seemed contrived.

Moreover, judging from his expression, it seemed as if he had been silently memorizing it for a long time beforehand.

As for whether his social anxiety is real or not, Ye Qing couldn't say for sure.

Ye Qing always felt something was off about him, as he was only ranked fourth on the Heavenly Ranking and had social anxiety.

He planned to confirm with Li Yuhuan later.

"Okay!" Ye Qing nodded and said, "Um, senior, do you have any cash here?"

"Ah!" Lu Guyang raised his head and looked at Ye Qing strangely.

"It's like this, it's Grandpa Ye's 80th birthday, and I didn't bring any gifts. I should at least show my appreciation by giving him some money, but I don't have time to withdraw cash right now!" Ye Qing said.

"What's this in your hand..." Lu Guyang asked, looking at the box in Ye Qing's hand with a puzzled expression.

"This is not a gift!" Ye Qing said.

He still found it hard to accept that giving a stranger something worth 100 million yuan was too much of a loss.

"Yes!" Lu Guyang nodded and asked, "How many do you want?"

"How about I give you ten thousand? Do you have it?" Ye Qing asked. "I'll transfer it to you via WeChat!"

“No need!” Lu Guyang said.

Then he went into the room, and after a short while, he came out with a wad of cash wrapped in a red envelope. He handed it to Ye Qing and said, "You don't need to transfer the money here!"

Ye Qing nodded and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now?"

Lu Guyang nodded, then paused for a moment before saying, "Actually... your parents... should still be alive!"

"Hmm?" Ye Qing, who was originally planning to leave, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lu Guyang!

Lu Guyang hesitated for a moment and said, "They came to me eight years ago, saying they wanted to go to Penglai Island, the Penglai in the sea. If you have time, you can go to Penglai. Perhaps you can find traces of them there!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing's eyes flickered slightly as he asked, "By the way, senior, it seems you started living in seclusion in Yanjing eight years ago. My parents also disappeared eight years ago. Is there some kind of training involved between then and now?"

Lu Guyang pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I can't say for sure, and your strength is still too low. Knowing it won't do you any good. You go ahead, I have to go now!"

"Oh, right!" he added, reminding her, "Be careful at the banquet!"

"Hmm?" Ye Qing's eyes flickered slightly.

But at this moment, Lu Guyang had already gotten up, picked up his woodworking knife, and started carving with complete concentration.

Ye Qing looked puzzled. He thought of the third thing that Li Yuhuan hadn't mentioned last night, which seemed to have something to do with the Ye family.

He shook his head and then walked towards the door.

"You guys didn't get beaten up?" Just as they stepped outside, Ye Yun walked over from a distance with a curious look on his face!

The courtyard gate behind them was immediately closed.

“Your master… doesn’t seem like a short-tempered person!” Ye Qing said. “He doesn’t seem to like talking to strangers?”

"Hey, don't even mention strangers!" Ye Yun's eyes darted around, as if gossip was about to spill out, and Ye Qing and Lin Qianyu's gossip fire also instantly ignited.

Ye Yun blinked, gesturing for them to talk somewhere further away.

The two followed Ye Yun to a corner in the distance.

After they had walked away, the tightly closed door suddenly opened, and Lu Guyang came to the doorway. He bowed his head and said, "Ye Tianyang, you've raised a good son. Don't worry, I remember all your instructions! I will keep my promise..."

At this point, his words became barely audible.

……

On the other side, after leaving that courtyard, Ye Yun said, "My master has a very strange personality. You don't know, because he was a son-in-law who married into the Ye family, when he first came to our Ye family, the whole family looked down on him. But later, as his strength increased, our Ye family had no choice but to rely on him. Then the whole family started to manipulate him even more, saying things like, 'Without the Ye family, there would be no him!'"

"It caused him considerable psychological trauma!" Ye Yun said regretfully, "To be honest, in this respect, some people in our Ye family are truly not human!"

"Uh!" Ye Qing said, "Aren't you a member of the Ye family?"

“Although I am also a member of the Ye family, some things are just inhuman, and we have to accept it!” Ye Yun said, “Later, it is said that after Master went to Tianluodiwang, he became much more cheerful, but then his son died, and it is also said that eight years ago, he traded one outgoing moment for a lifetime of introversion, and finally left Tianluodiwang and hid in this courtyard!”

“In the past eight years, apart from going out to buy wood, he has hardly ever left the house!” Ye Yun said.

"What happened?" Ye Qing asked.

"I don't know!" Ye Yun said, "He is indeed very introverted and doesn't talk much to other people, but he is really ruthless towards me. In fact, he wasn't like this when he taught me as a child. It seems that about eight years ago, he went to see an old friend, and that old friend talked about his way of educating his son, and then he changed towards me!"

At this point, he cursed and said, "Damn it, you have no idea how miserable I've been these past eight years. When he hit me, he even used some kind of special move!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing felt a sudden jolt in his heart. He felt as if he had seen this before!

"Damn it! Don't let me find out who instilled the wrong knowledge in my master. If they find out, I'll skin them alive!" Ye Yun cursed.

Lin Qianyu glanced at Ye Qing, coughed lightly, and said, "If your master hadn't been so strict, you wouldn't have made it onto the Earth Ranking so quickly!"

Ye Yun nodded and said, "That's true, but this... is really not something a human being would do!"

"We're here!" he said, pointing ahead.

A sound came from ahead.
