Chapter 78: Unexpected Incident (Combined Chapter)
It is not so easy for the sect to touch him.

Spend the sect’s money, borrow the sect’s power, and make your own friends.

This is Yu Hu’s true thought.

But this is better. Seeing Ye Yang being so sensible, Yu Hu admired him very much and thought about how to help Ye Yang.

Spirit stones can be earned, but talented people are hard to find, especially your own people.

"Train him well. The stronger and more powerful he is in the sect in the future, the better it will be for Yu Mansion. In time, if he is still in the Lishi Hall and breaks through the martial artist realm, Yu Mansion will be as stable as Mount Tai. Even Qingshan's problem can be solved."

Yu Hu saw Ye Yang's potential and strength.

He warmly and cordially invited Ye Yang to Yu Mansion.

The living room of the Yu Mansion covers a large area, and the table made of the finest rosewood is filled with delicacies.

Yu Hu sat next to Ye Yang and gently poured him a glass of wine.

"This spiritual wine has been stored in the cellar for fifty years. It is hard to find outside. This fish feast is personally prepared by the spiritual chef of Beihai. Yang'er, please try it. If you hadn't come today, I would never have specially invited the spiritual chef to come."

"Is this the cooking skill of Beihai Lingchu?"

There was a table full of delicacies in front of him, but Ye Yang had no interest in them. The words "Beihai Lingchu" reminded him of what his cousin named Qingshan said when the Yu family did not invite him to dinner when he first came to the Yu Mansion.

"My mother said that our Yu family is now a large family, and there are too many people who want to claim to be my relatives, so she doesn't allow me to recognize any cousins."

"Today the kitchen cooked snow clam stewed with flying dragon. I heard that they invited a spiritual chef from the North Sea to make it. If you go too late, there will be no more..."

……

The echo was still in his ears, Ye Yang sighed secretly and brought his thoughts back to reality.

He is different now, he is extraordinary now!

Yu Hu picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and motioned Ye Yang to drink it.

Ye Yang carefully thought about the purpose of Yu Hu calling him.

The most intuitive thing is naturally the matter of supervision, and asking him to be partial.

Yu Hu got wind of this matter, which was not unexpected for him. After all, there is no wall that is impenetrable, and there are many channels to find out his whereabouts.

Ye Yang frowned slightly. It was not easy to check the accounts. Nowadays, many things were just guesses and could not be taken seriously.

He thought for a moment, picked up the wine glass and took a few sips.

The wine was mellow and powerful, slightly sweet on the palate, and rich in sauce flavor. It tasted much better than the one he had drunk at Zhang's house before.

But after just a few sips, Ye Yang put the wine glass on the table and stopped drinking.

His eyes wandered around and he found that the Panshan Plum Blossom Stone that he had given him before had been carefully wiped, had an ebony base, and was placed in the most conspicuous position in the hall.

Ye Yang knew that the Yu family had made a lot of preparations for his arrival and placed it on the coffee table specifically for him to see.

Ye Yang didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.

He believed that Yu Hu was a smart man. Seeing his behavior, he naturally understood his attitude this time.
"Yang'er, is there something on your mind, or is this food and wine not to your liking? Should I ask someone to make another portion?"

Yu Hu smiled upon seeing this and asked eagerly.

Ye Yang shook his head. Yu Hu still didn't say anything about the corruption in the mine. Ye Yang knew that Yu Hu still had something to rely on in his heart.

Didn't really take him seriously.

"Uncle, I wonder what you think about the sect's inspection of corruption this time?"

Ye Yang took the initiative to attack.

Yu Hu's face changed: "Of course it's great. I strongly support everything the sect does. Nowadays, many high-ranking guardians are embezzling spiritual stones. They deserve to be killed!"

After saying that, Yu Hu looked around and when he found that there was no one around, he carefully approached Ye Yang.

"But then again! Feitian Sect and Wudu Sect are constantly arguing, and Taiyi Qing Sect is eyeing us covetously. The gap in strength between us and Wudu Sect is already quite large. Once a fire breaks out in the backyard, the situation will not be optimistic. What's more..."

"What's more, which of those corrupt people doesn't have some backers?"

When talking about these words in the background, Yu Hu's voice suddenly increased by several decibels, as if reminding Ye Yang of something.

He then spoke.

"Yang'er, don't be fooled by the superficial article! I am an experienced person and have seen all kinds of storms."

"When it's time to loosen, loosen; when it's time to tighten, tighten. Many policies are like a flash of rain or a gust of wind. They're gone. Don't sacrifice your bright future for them."

There was a gleam of light in Yu Hu's eyes, and he looked at Ye Yang and spoke slowly.

He was confident that he could scare these young people with these words, which were both soft and hard.

……

Outside the window, the sound of rain keeps falling.

There was thunder and lightning, and suddenly a flash of lightning illuminated the faces of the two men.

Ye Yang looked at Yu Hu, whose face was dark, and said seriously: "These things are not what my uncle should worry about. This matter involves many high-level people. The head of Gu Xuan arranged it personally. In my opinion, this is another reshuffle."

"Inspector?"

Yu Hu murmured, "This is just a temporary office of the sect. It might be removed after a while!"

Yu Hu was not surprised at what Ye Yang said. Although he was far away in Yuanyang Mine, a lot of information was not difficult to obtain as long as one was willing to inquire.

However, these have little to do with an ordinary disciple.

Ye Yang knew that he could not stay in Yu Mansion any longer. He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and bowed to Yu Hu.

"Uncle, I have something else to do, so I won't bother you any more. I'm here for the sect's affairs, so I hope you'll be careful with your words and cooperate with me fully. Some time ago, Master Gu Xuan called me to talk in Shanhaiguan. I think I'll have to rely on you for a long time on this patrol."

At this moment, he came on behalf of the sect and knew that he must not be hit by Yu Hu's arrogance. Otherwise, he would be passive at every step.

"Yes...I am rude."

Yu Hu narrowed his eyes slightly, his face turned a little pale.

But after all, he had been through a lot, and although his face was ugly, he was still polite. He picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. The glass was empty. Ye Yang looked at the empty glass and knew that it meant to clear the place, and he also knew that it was time to leave.

After walking out of the gate, Ye Yang deliberately placed 1,400 spirit stones in the hall, then gave instructions to the doorman and walked out of Yu Mansion.

The situation in the Yu Mansion is complicated now, so it is better to return the 1,400 spirit stones as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when the Yu Mansion was sealed off and it was discovered that he had a dispute with the Yu Mansion over spiritual stones, it would be inevitable that people with ulterior motives would make a big fuss about it.

……

Shortly after Ye Yang walked out of Yu Mansion.

In the previous hall, a figure slowly walked in. It was Ye Li.

Ye Li was holding a bag of spirit stones in her hand, which was left by Ye Yang just now. In addition, there was also an IOU.

"Ye Yang returned the spirit stones. I counted them. There are 1,400 of them."

"too much."

Yu Hu poured himself a glass of wine and said in a muffled voice. Ye Li, who noticed Yu Hu's mood, said, "Why, the conversation is not very pleasant."

Yu Hu nodded: "Ye Yang is a smart man. He chose this critical moment to return the spirit stone. It's not simple! He is worried that something will happen to my Yu Mansion and involve him."

This boy is no simple matter. According to Yu Hu's idea, he originally wanted to bribe Ye Yang with family affection, spirit stones and power.

But the young man seemed to see what he was thinking, so he stopped talking and left with an excuse.

Such people know when to advance and when to retreat, understand the general trend, and are difficult to grasp.

Such friends are good teachers and helpful friends.

If it is an enemy, it will make people's scalp tingle.

"The situation has become so serious."

Ye Li exclaimed.

"Don't worry, it's not that serious yet. I have already written a letter to the people behind me, and I believe they will make arrangements in the near future."

……

Returning to the inn, Ye Yang was thinking about how to find a breakthrough. At this moment, a pigeon flew over from a distance.

It was raining continuously and the pigeons were soaked.

Ye Yang stretched out his hand, and the white dove jumped into his hand, stroking his palm with its red beak.

Ye Yang untied the note on the pigeon's leg, picked it up and looked at it carefully. The next moment, he was stunned.

Then he let out a long sigh as if he had thought of something.

"If that's the case, it's a good thing."

The content of the letter was very simple, only a few lines, which meant that he should return to the sect as soon as possible, and someone else would be in charge of the Yuanyang Mine.

Ye Yang did not reply immediately, but touched his nose with his hand and carefully thought about the intention behind the sect.

Logically speaking, he had just arrived at the Yuanyang Mine and had not yet conducted a formal investigation.

The news from the sect has already arrived. There is no trick here and no one believes it.

On the other hand, after talking with Yu Hu, the sect had already sent a message, which made him think about it.

After thinking for a while, Ye Yang suddenly realized.

"It seems that the people behind Yu Hu are the ones who are making trouble. If that's the case..."

Ye Yang smiled slightly: "It depends on the result."

It can be seen that Yu Hu paid a heavy price.

After replying a few simple words, Ye Yang tied the paper to the pigeon's legs again. After flapping its wings, the pigeon flew back into the distance.

Since he was no longer needed in the Yuanyang Mine, Ye Yang thought about returning to Feitian Gate to prepare for the title of Feitian Seven True Masters.

He didn't even say hello to Yu Fu. He turned over, mounted his horse, and ran quickly towards Feitian Gate.

The battle for the Seven Flying True Immortals is imminent, and Ye Yang does not want to waste time on the road.

……

Riding a horse and wearing a straw raincoat, Ye Yang walked along the way and the scenes he saw were like hell on earth.

The bodies of refugees were everywhere, and their bodies, which had turned white from being soaked, could often be seen in many ditches and pools.

Old and young, male and female, were everywhere.

Many cliffs have been washed away by the rain, small rivers have swollen like big rivers, and big rivers stretch out like rivers and seas.

A land of water.

What frightened Ye Yang the most was the skyrocketing prices of food, especially the prices of spiritual wheat and spiritual rice, which had more than doubled.

Before, one spirit stone could buy ten kilograms of ordinary large-leaf spirit wheat or yellow-shell spirit rice.

But now, three spirit stones are needed to buy ten kilograms, and there is even no demand for it. Many places have closed their markets and no longer sell spirit food to the public.

Spiritual food is precious and plays an important role in cleansing the marrow, removing hair, and refining essence. It is an indispensable food for practitioners in the process of cultivation.

Once this substance becomes scarce, low-level practitioners will have no choice but to take ordinary food. Not only will their progress in cultivation be greatly affected, but in the long run, they will also be dragged down by the mundane worldly air and may even see their realm decline.
