Chapter 572 I Don't Want to Study Anymore
"What did Ye Feiran write to you?" Jiu Xiao clicked his tongue. "He even wrote you a letter? Wasn't he gritting his teeth and shouting for your life whenever he saw you before? Tsk, I thought he could hold out for a while, but I didn't expect you to win him over so quickly?"
Ye Qing'an took out the letter and read it quickly.
"Nothing much, just venting. I'm saying that it's too hard every day, having to practice martial arts and learn weapon forging, and I'm going crazy."
"Then they asked me why I didn't go see him."
Jiuxiao blinked: "Do we want to go see him? Do we want to go see him?"
Ye Qing'an turned her gaze: "Why did you seem so impatient at the time?"
"Of course I can't wait. I really want to see how miserable he is."
Jiu Xiao chuckled, but then suddenly realized that he was being too smug, so he quickly covered his mouth.
"Then let's go, let's go now."
"Huh?" Jiu Xiao stared wide-eyed at Ye Qing'an: "Go now? But it's nighttime!"
"I am currently in the Anzhi City camp, and I cannot appear during the day."
“That’s true.” Jiuxiao chuckled. “Then let’s set off.”
After Jiuxiao finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.
A summoning circle appeared beside Ye Qing'an shortly afterward.
Ye Qing'an stepped into the summoning circle, and when she came out, she found herself in a courtyard on a mountaintop.
The courtyard was built on the edge of a cliff, and there was no wall to block the view. There was also a stone standing there, and in the distance, one could see the long mountain range that lay dormant in the darkness like a giant beast.
“I’ve already secretly inquired around. Only Ye Feiran lives in this courtyard. There isn’t even a servant to attend to him. No wonder everyone wants you to come and visit.”
"But Ye Feiran is sleeping too soundly. I just went to his room for a walk and he didn't even notice."
Should I go and wake him up?
Ye Qing'an glanced at Jiu Xiao: "And then scare him to death? It's the middle of the night, whether a stranger suddenly appears or a snake suddenly appears, it's scary enough, isn't it?"
"..." Jiuxiao lowered his head and glanced at his original form, then fell silent.
Ye Qing'an entered the room; Ye Feiran was asleep.
Ye Qing'an reached out and patted his face. Ye Feiran frowned, waved his hand in the air as if trying to drive away the thing that was bothering him, then turned over and fell asleep again.
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips, raised her hand, and a flash of white light shot out, heading straight for Ye Feiran. Ye Feiran cried out in pain and sat up abruptly: "So annoying! So annoying!"
"Oh?" Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "Since you're bothering me like this, then I'll leave?"
Upon hearing this voice, Ye Feiran abruptly opened her eyes, her gaze fixed on Ye Qing'an: "You've come?"
Upon seeing Ye Qing'an, Ye Feiran's first reaction was to pinch his arm without hesitation, then he cried out in pain, "Ouch! This isn't a dream, is it real?"
Once Ye Feiran was sure this wasn't a dream, she sprang to her feet with a swift movement: "Why are you only coming to see me now...?"
"Do you know what kind of life I've been living here? It's practically inhuman."
Ye Feiran felt extremely wronged when she thought about it: "Every day I have to get up very early and start practicing my morning exercises. After that, I have to attend classes all morning and all afternoon. At night, I have to study late into the night and memorize texts."
"I'm going crazy. Every day when I open my eyes, the thought of going through another day of torture makes me not want to get up at all."
"I'm so tired, I don't want to study anymore."
Ye Qing'an remained calm, glancing only at Ye Feiran: "Fine, if you're not going to study anymore, then pack your things, and I'll have someone come and pick you up from the Ye residence tomorrow."
"I only sent you out under the pretense of taking you to the hospital. Just remember not to let it slip when you get back."
Ye Feiran's eyes widened suddenly, seemingly in disbelief: "I can really go back? Aren't you going to try to dissuade me? Aren't you going to stop me?"
"Why should I stop you?" Ye Qing'an asked, puzzled. "This is your own life. You can bear the consequences of every decision you make."
"However, your previous wishes, such as creating a spiritual weapon that can be ranked on the spiritual weapon ranking list, are probably going to fall through. And your wish to stand out from the crowd and not be looked down upon by others is also likely to fall through."
"But it doesn't matter. As long as you don't make any big mistakes in Wangjing City and don't offend anyone we can't afford to offend, the Ye family should be able to protect you and ensure you have enough to eat and wear for the rest of your life."
"At most, you'll just be looked down upon. When people mention you, the first thing they'll think of is Ye Feiran, the second young master of the Ye family, a useless fat bastard."
“Those rumors are only directed at you, not me. You, as the target of these rumors, don’t care, so why should I care?”
Upon hearing Ye Qing'an's words, Ye Feiran's face showed a hint of hesitation.
Almost involuntarily, he recalled his days in Wangjing City, where he had heard people talking about him behind his back.
At that time, he could have simply called his guards to fight back.
But... what happened during the Mid-Autumn Festival made him understand.
There are many powerful and influential people in Wangjing, and many he cannot afford to offend. Moreover, sometimes, acting recklessly and willfully can not only cause him suffering and even cost him his life, but also implicate his family.
If he goes back now, will he have to go back to the same muddled, foolish life he used to lead, being treated like a fool?
Ye Qing'an naturally noticed Ye Feiran's hesitation, but pretended to be casual and said, "You've been here for over a month now, what have you learned?"
"Stretch out your hand, let me see if your spiritual power has improved?"
Ye Feiran quickly extended his hand, and Ye Qing'an probed it with her spiritual power, then couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "Not bad, your spiritual power has improved more in just over a month than it did in the previous two or three years."
"Your spiritual power is noticeably stronger. It seems that as long as no one tries to trip you up or schemes against you, and you put in a little effort, you can still learn well."
"How's your weapon forging coming along?"
Ye Feiran puffed out his chest: "I've learned the basic forging method."
As he spoke, he pulled an iron dagger from under his pillow: "This is what I used to practice a couple of days ago. It was my first time making one, so it's not very good."
Ye Qing'an took it: "This is not bad either. I think it's pretty good. It seems you have quite a talent for forging."
A hint of pride flashed across Ye Feiran's face: "Of course, my master has also praised me, saying I have some talent."
"This is the first thing you've forged. Could you keep it as a souvenir for me? When I return home, I will place this dagger before my mother's portrait and tell her that it was made by Fei Ran."
"I've said you have great talent, and given time, you'll surely be able to create even better spiritual weapons."
Ye Feiran was startled and suddenly raised her head...
