Chapter 77: A cultivator must always have a pole behind him
His monthly salary was only more than forty spirit stones.

"I have another spiritual well in my house, located on the node of the spiritual vein, with rich spiritual energy. Is there any formation that can use this as the center of the formation?"

"That's even more coincidental. Our store has just received a new formation, the Water and Wood Nurturing Spirit Formation, which can transform the Spirit Eye and Spirit Spring into the formation center. In addition, there are three Spiritual Qi Gathering Banners, which can gather spiritual energy to nourish plants, people and animals."

“Don’t you know the price?”

The old man smiled and held up five fingers: "The same is five hundred spirit stones."

"How about four hundred spirit stones?"

Ye Yang bargained for the price, but Old Ma was naturally unwilling.

After some bargaining, the two finally agreed on a price of four hundred and fifty spirit stones.

……

The next day, Ye Yang had not yet woken up.

Then he heard a rustling sound of footsteps. Amid the crackling sound of heavy rain, although it was very slight, Ye Yang still woke up from his sleep cautiously, holding the Green Bamboo Sword in his left hand and the Ghost-head Seven-ring Broadsword in his right hand.

Be on full alert.

But the footsteps suddenly stopped and there was no sound outside the door.

Ye Yang felt carefully and found that there was more than one person coming. He held his breath and waited. After a while, there was still no movement outside the house. Ye Yang walked forward, opened the door, and was immediately surprised.

There were two people standing outside the door, one of them was wearing a white shirt, had snow-white skin and a gorgeous appearance, it was Ye Li.

The other man was tall and sturdy, with a dark face and black beard, and was quite recognizable.

Although they had not seen each other for many years, Ye Yang still recognized him. This person was the protector of Yuanyang Mine - Yu Hu.

Seeing the two people waiting outside the house, Ye Yang had already guessed why they came.

However, he did not point it out, and smiled and said: "It turns out that my aunt and uncle are here, please take a seat quickly. There is no tea leaves in this room, only a few cups of plain water, please forgive me."

"It's okay, it's okay. I heard that my nephew has arrived at the Yuanyang Mine, but you didn't even tell your uncle so that I could welcome you back."

Yu Hu laughed and put his arm around Ye Yang's shoulders: "My dear nephew, I haven't seen you for many years. You are almost as tall as me. If Qingshan is half as sensible as you, I will feel relieved."

Ye Yang gently struggled out of Yu Hu's arms, poured two glasses of boiled water and handed them over.

Yu Hu was fond of tea, so he was not happy to see the plain water, but he still took a sip with a happy look on his face.

The same is true for Ye Li.

"Yang'er..."

Ye Li took the boiled water and took a sip. She felt that the tea was cold. It was actually overnight cold water. However, she still drank it in one gulp and said, "Good tea, good tea."

She put down the teacup, moved closer to Ye Yang, smiled, and started chatting with Ye Yang enthusiastically.

"Sister."

Ye Yang was a little reserved. These two people were of noble status, but he still waited outside the house before dawn, speaking in low voices and not daring to disturb them in the slightest.

The more respectful and careful the other party was, the more cautious Ye Yang became.

Although he had long been accustomed to the outside world, saying one thing to one person and another thing to another, but now the other party needed something from him, so he was overly falsely polite.

Ye Yang was still a little uncomfortable.

This made him even more convinced of his judgment that these two people must have something up their sleeve and were asking for something.

However, he has always been a person of politeness on the outside but sincerity on the inside. He would never let anyone know what he was thinking. He was still polite on the surface and bowed to Wei Yuhu and Ye Li, "Uncle, aunt, I was going to bother you at Yu's house today. I borrowed 1,200 spirit stones from you before. It just so happens that you are here too, so I'm just here to return them."

Yu Hu glared at him and said, "What are you talking about? It's unreasonable to pay back the money you lent. Do you look down on your uncle?"

After he finished speaking, he pulled the spirit stone towards Ye Yang, refusing to take it no matter what. "As expected, when a person is strong, he will be greeted by smiling faces, but when he is weak, he will always encounter all kinds of bad people."

Times have changed, and circumstances have changed.

Now facing the two of them again, Ye Yang is no longer the same as before.

Not only is he in charge of the Personnel Hall and is in charge of important inspection matters, but he also has the support of the inspection team. Even if he is facing Yu Hu, who is at the level of a warrior, he does not need to force himself to please him.

"You must not bend the law for personal gain, and you must also take into account personal relationships."

This time he came here with a mission. Family affection, gratitude and handling affairs are two different things. Ye Yang will not act recklessly.

Ye Li smiled foolishly at Ye Yang's attitude: "Since your uncle asked you to accept it, just accept it. We have been waiting for you to come to Yu Mansion, but we never saw you, so we came to find you... You should know that in this world... we are your only relatives."

Ye Li reacted very quickly. Looking at Ye Yang's face full of sorrow, she secretly sighed at the misfortunes Ye Yang had suffered since childhood.

On the other hand, it pulls the relationship between the two parties towards family affection.

"Aunt, what you said is not polite at all."

Ye Yang knew Ye Li's character and did not take her words to heart. He still gave face to the two of them and called them uncle and aunt, but he was thinking in his heart that he came here with a mission, although he didn't know how his identity was exposed.

But no matter what, we cannot bend the law for personal gain.

……

Speaking is the simplest and most difficult thing. A few words do not take much effort and can be regarded as a trivial matter at most.

There was no deep hatred between the two parties. Moreover, Yu Hu had been a law protector for many years. Without someone behind him, he would not be able to keep the lucrative job of law protector of Yuanyang Mine.

Right now, everything is still uncertain and we have no idea where to start the investigation.

The most foolish thing to do is to offend the other party from the very beginning.

What's more, although Ye Li and Yu Hu did not pay much attention to their nephew and even treated him coldly, they still lent him 1,200 spirit stones in the end. This was something that could not be faked.

What we did back then could not be called timely assistance, but we did lend a helping hand when he was in the most difficult time.

He is not the kind of person who is arrogant, ungrateful, and who will take advantage of others and retaliate when they are looked down upon.

……

in the house.

Yu Hu felt that his nephew, although he came to inspect on behalf of the sect, did not have any overbearing attitude.

Especially after hearing the other party calling him uncle from time to time, the smile on his face remained and he looked quite excited.

Since ancient times, having one more friend is always better than having one more enemy.

Especially when they are younger generations with potential, they are already our own people.

What's more, the other party is now deciding his future. According to the information obtained by the people behind him, Long Gang's death is closely related to this kid's secret investigation.

"Yang'er, the Yu Mansion has already made preparations. We have specially invited a chef from Beihai to welcome you. You have finally come here, so come with your uncle to our home. We can catch up on the past and talk about family matters."

Yu Hu invited him again.

He originally thought that Ye Yang would have some grudges against the Yu family because of the previous events, but he didn't expect that Ye Yang, with an uncle on his left and an uncle on his right, would be so sensible.

Sect's affairs are not that simple.

He was able to control the Yuanyang Mine for many years as a protector, and the person behind him could make the Feitian Gate tremble with a single move.

As the saying goes, a practitioner always has a pole to support him from behind. This is the reason.
