“Dad, don’t worry. I will definitely make you proud by becoming a powerful warrior. Then, I will bring you and mom back to the Ye family.” Ye Xuan said in a deep voice.

“I believe in you. You can do it.” Ye Zhenxiang patted Ye Xuan’s shoulder. “Hurry up and take this Rejuvenation Pill.”

Ye Xuan nodded and returned to his bedroom with the porcelain bottle in his hand. Before he stepped into the bedroom, he heard his father’s voice again.

“Oh right, son, I forgot to mention just now. I’ve paid the admission fee for Hanlin Warrior Academy for you.” Ye Zhenxiang said with a loving smile.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan was shocked. He had always heard his father say that he would help him get admitted to Hanlin Warrior Academy, but he had never taken him seriously. He naturally did not need to go to the academy to study with his current identity. Still, he also knew that the admission fee to the academy was not something that an ordinary person like his father could afford.

This news really surprised him.

“Dad, you’re too amazing.”

Ye Zhenxiang shook his head and said with a smile, “Hurry up and take the pill!”

Ye Xuan nodded and returned to the bedroom. Although he had not returned home for a while, the bedroom was still clean and tidy.

Ye Xuan sighed and sat on the bed, playing with the porcelain bottle in his hand. The Rejuvenation Pill was no longer of any use to him, but it was time for him to gradually show his strength to his family with this pill.

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes. At the auction, Ye Zhenwen’s attitude toward his father was icy. It was enough to remind him of his father’s difficulties in the Ye family, the sadness of being looked down upon by others.

“Ye family, just you wait. I will shock you with my existence and make you regret looking down on my dad!”

To not make his father suspicious, Ye Xuan stayed in the bedroom for more than three hours before pushing open the bedroom door and walking out.

As he walked out, he saw his father and mother packing their things.

“Dad, mom, what are you doing?” Ye Xuan asked in confusion.

“Son, you’re out? Your uncle just invited our family for dinner. Let’s go together.”

Hearing his father’s words, Ye Xuan was a little surprised. It could be seen from the auction that his uncle, Ye Zhenwen was disrespectful to his father. Why would he kindly treat him to dinner now?

Ye Xuan felt that this was definitely not a good thing. He could not let his parents go alone.

Ye Xuan went with his parents. Soon, the family arrived at a restaurant and went straight to the reserved room. Ye Zhenwen was already sitting in the room.

Other than him, there was another young man present. It was Ye Zhenwen’s son, Ye Ming.

Seeing Ye Zhenxiang’s family arrive, Ye Zhenwen stood up with a smile. “Brother, sister-in-law, please come in.” His attitude was quite polite.

Ye Ming also stood up at this time but did not speak. His expression was full of arrogance.

Ye Zhenxiang would not argue with the younger generation. He brought his wife to sit down. Ye Xuan also sat next to his mother at the dining table.

After a few glasses of wine, Ye Zhenxiang’s face became a little rosier. Seeing this, Ye Zhenwen finally went straight to the point.

“Brother, I have a request to make today. Can you hand over the Rejuvenation Pill that you bought today?”

Ye Zhenxiang put down the wine glass in his hand, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared. He said in a deep voice, “Brother, so this is your purpose of inviting my family for dinner today?” 

Ye Zhenwen smiled but did not say anything in reply.

“Brother, the Rejuvenation Pill is of great use to my family. I can’t give it to you.” Ye Zhenxiang directly refused.

Ye Zhenwen heard this and said hurriedly, “Brother, your nephew, Ye Ming, is already at the peak of the Qi condensation realm. As long as there is enough Rejuvenation Pill, he will breakthrough soon. That is why I require your Rejuvenation Pill.”

Ye Zhenxiang was unmoved. “Brother, if it were anything else, I would gladly help you, but not this Rejuvenation Pill. I bought it for my son.”

Ye Zhenwen’s face turned livid, and he said sternly, “Brother, at Ye Xuan’s age, even if he took the Rejuvenation Pill, it would be difficult for him to become a great warrior. It would be a waste.”

“Shut up.” Ye Zhenxiang’s face was full of anger. “Even if there is only a small chance, I will not give it up. Ye Zhenwen, you don’t have to think about it. I have already handed over the Rejuvenation Pill to my son!”

“What?”

Ye Zhenwen’s face instantly darkened. He did not expect himself to be one step too late.

Ye Ming, who had been playing with his phone all the while, raised his eyelids slightly. He stared coldly.

“You actually gave such a precious pill to this piece of trash? What a waste!” Ye Zhenwen slammed the table and stood up. He pointed at Ye Xuan and roared angrily.

Seeing this, Ye Zhenxiang also roared angrily, “Ye Zhenwen, who do you think you are to insult my son? Sit down. I’m not done with you!”

Ye Ming also stood up in exasperation and shouted at Ye Xuan, “Ye Xuan, how can trash like you be qualified to take such an expensive pill? Even if you become an entry-level warrior, you’d still be trash like your father.”

“How dare you!”

Ye Xuan stood up angrily. “My father is your uncle. How dare you insult him? Since your father didn’t teach you manners, let me teach you instead!”

“You’ll teach me manners?” Ye Ming was slightly stunned and then laughed out loud. “Ye Xuan, you’re nothing more than trash, but you actually think you can teach me? Fine, I’ll give you a chance. I’d like to see how you’ll teach me.”

Chen Ming’s face turned cold, and he rubbed his hands together, ready to make a move.

“Don’t fight!”

Ye Zhenxiang saw the situation and became anxious. Ye Xuan had just taken the Rejuvenation Pill, so he did not know whether he would successfully become a warrior or not. Ye Ming was already a warrior at the peak of the Qi condensation realm, and Ye Xuan would definitely not be his opponent.

Ye Zhenwen sneered. “Brother, don’t interfere in the affairs of the younger generation. I also want to see how your son will teach my son on my behalf.”

“Then you have to observe.” Ye Xuan’s face was cold. He walked toward Chen Ming with his hands behind his back. “Dad, you don’t have to worry about this. I know what to do.”

Ye Zhenxiang wanted to stop him, but he immediately swallowed his words upon seeing how confident his son was. He knew his son’s character. Ye Xuan never did anything that he was unsure of, but he had only just taken the Rejuvenation Pill. How could he have the confidence to become a strong warrior?

Ye Ming slapped the table hard, and it immediately broke into pieces. “Come, let me see how trash like you can teach me.”

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and sneered. “You’re calling me trash?”

“That’s right. Not only you, but your whole family is trash. Even with the Rejuvenation Pill, you still can’t change the truth.” Ye Ming shouted and ridiculed unscrupulously..
