Chapter 53: Joining the Alliance (Part 2)Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, not expecting that such a philosophy would still exist in the power-supremacy Spirit Master's world.No wonder the Ye family could become family friends with the Dugu family.Ye Feng recovered his wits, coughed lightly a few times to ease the awkwardness, and then tentatively asked:"If one day, a certain guest elder of the Ye family offends me, can I just execute them directly?"Ye Qingyi nodded, approving of Ye Feng's approach."...Very well, I agree."Come to think of it, there should indeed be a healer in the team. On the Douluo Continent, when it came to healing capabilities, if Ye Qingyi claimed second, no one dared to claim first."The Ye family unconditionally provides healing for my family and the Dugu family, Senior Dugu Bo and I provide protection for the Ye family, and I will also do my utmost to cultivate Ye Lingling. There's no problem with that, right?"Ye Qingyi nodded slightly, her expression becoming much more relaxed, as if a heavy stone in her heart had finally hit the ground.Ye Qingyi's reaction left Ye Feng somewhat puzzled, and he couldn't help asking:"Head of the Ye Family, why are you so eager to find a backing? To win me over? Logically speaking, given your Ye family's status and strength, you shouldn't be in such a rush, right?"The Ye family was a medical lineage, practicing medicine and saving lives for generations, with countless connections and a transcendent position in the Spirit Master's world.Spirit Masters also got injured, fell ill, and were poisoned... No Spirit Master was willing to offend a doctor unless they didn't want to live anymore.Hearing this, Ye Lingling also looked at her mother, as she was very curious about the reason as well.Ye Qingyi was silent for a moment, then sighed and said:"Ye Feng, our Ye family seems glorious, but we are actually living off the charity of others.""Ever since the rise of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, our Ye family has constantly faced targeting and oppression.""The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School claims to have the number one supporting Spirit under heaven, but the Spirits that can contend for this title are not limited to just the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.""If not for the fact that only two Nine Heart Begonia Spirit Masters can exist simultaneously in any generation, this title would belong to our Nine Heart Begonia.""Because of this, the Ye family has been targeted; they fear the rise of the Ye family.""Yet because of this curse, they didn't drive us to complete extinction.""On one hand, it's used to demonstrate their tolerance and magnanimity; on the other hand, humph, they are also afraid of death.""Right now, the Ye family can live in peace because of the contempt and charity of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but I cannot gamble that their next generation will remain the same.""I cannot entrust Lengleng's life to their benevolence. While I am still alive, I must find a powerful and trustworthy person to be Lengleng's backing.""For this, I am willing to pay any price."Ye Lingling's eyes reddened slightly; she hadn't expected that her mother had been bearing such immense pressure all by herself.Sensing Ye Lingling's gaze, Ye Qingyi chuckled softly, holding her hand to soothe her emotions.Ye Feng felt somewhat dazed. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which leaned towards the righteous side in the original work, would actually do such a thing.However, it was not hard to understand; it was impossible for any powerful force to be completely without blemishes, and every one of them had its dark side.He could also understand the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's obsession with the "number one supporting Spirit under heaven".Among the Upper Three Sects, the Clear Sky Hammer was known as the "number one Tool Spirit under heaven".The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was known as the "number one Beast Spirit under heaven".The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was known as the "number one supporting Spirit under heaven".Although all three were unworthy of the name, they all occupied the title of the number one under heaven.This was the reputation they used to attract geniuses to pledge allegiance.Among them, the title of "number one supporting Spirit under heaven" was particularly important to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, because they were support Spirit Masters whose battles relied on others.Only with the reputation of the number one supporting Spirit under heaven could they easily attract talented Spirit Masters to join.After understanding Ye Qingyi's purpose, Ye Feng felt much more at ease; at least he didn't have to worry about whether the Ye family would betray him.After exchanging pleasantries with the Ye family mother and daughter for a while, Ye Feng got up and left the Ye family....Meanwhile, inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School thousands of miles away.At this moment, Ning Fengzhi, who had been unconscious for a whole day, opened his eyes. Enduring the pain, he struggled to get up, shaking his somewhat dizzy head."Where is this? Cough cough... The Sect?"Beside Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin leaned against the window and also noticed his awakening."Fengzhi, you're awake. Don't move around casually for now; your injuries are very heavy, don't tear your wounds."Enduring the pain, Ning Fengzhi leaned against the head of the bed, his mind still somewhat chaotic at the moment."Uncle Jian, why am I... in the Sect?... I was heavily injured by Ye Feng?""To be able to heavily injure me instantly, it seems this Ye Feng has some strength. It's just a pity that we failed to test his true combat power."Ning Fengzhi didn't care about his own injuries; he only cared about whether Ye Feng's strength was worth him trying to win over.Hearing Ning Fengzhi mention Ye Feng, Chen Xin's expression looked somewhat unpleasant. He still clearly remembered the scene where he was mocked by Gu Rong after returning to the Sect.But he still opened his mouth and recounted everything that happened after Ning Fengzhi fell unconscious, omitting the punch that hit him, and repeated it to him in detail.When Ning Fengzhi heard that Ye Feng had actually caught a sword strike at the Titled Douluo level from Chen Xin, he completely lost his composure.In his emotional agitation, even his wounds split open a bit more, seeping scarlet blood onto his clothes.He knew what this meant: a monster that had never existed since ancient times had appeared.As long as they won him over, the Sect could be guaranteed a hundred years of prosperity."Uncle Jian, help me up. I want to make another trip to Heaven Dou Academy."Chen Xin frowned and supported Ning Fengzhi to prevent him from falling."Your injuries haven't healed yet, you can't get down and move around.""Uncle Jian, your battle with Ye Feng that day will probably soon reach the ears of other forces. I want to win over this youth before they do.""He has already injured you to this extent, clearly he is already annoyed with you. Even so, are you still going?"Ning Fengzhi's lips curled up as he looked out the window, which was the direction of Heaven Dou City."Uncle Jian, that's where you don't know. I deliberately annoyed him and created conflict. I investigated Ye Feng; he stays aloof from worldly affairs and only cares about the people around him. Such a person generally won't join any force. Even if he is forced to join temporarily, it would be very difficult to make him give his all for the Sect. If I didn't pressure him, he would likely just ignore me."Chen Xin showed a puzzled expression. Being ignored should be better than being treated with hostility, right?"Uncle Jian, if he makes up his mind to ignore me, I won't have any way to deal with him.""What I need is not how bad his impression of me is, but to make him care about me and not ignore me. Only then can we build a good relationship with him."Chen Xin was a pure sword cultivator and didn't understand all these twists and turns. As for the part involving strategy, he chose to leave it to Ning Fengzhi. After all, he was the Sect Master, while he himself was only a guardian Douluo."Oh, right, Uncle Jian, bring Rongrong along."
