Never Be Ruined by Huo Wu, Cao Thief Ye Xiao

"Interesting. Can he join Blazing Fire Academy?" asked Huo Wudi. If possible, he would no longer interfere with the matters between Huo Wu and Ye Xiao from now on. In any case, Blazing Fire Academy would belong to them in the future anyway. "No, I asked already. His martial soul has the Five Elements Attribute, and Blazing Fire Academy only accepts single attributes, so it doesn't quite fit," Uncle Xiao shook his head. "That's a bit of a pity," Huo Wudi sighed. "Actually... an academy is not a big deal. There are still a few years before Ye Xiao graduates. What if we have Huo Wu contact Ye Xiao frequently during this time? Perhaps in the future, Ye Xiao can come to our Blazing Fire Academy to be a teacher," said Uncle Xiao. Huo Wudi furrowed his brow slightly. "Are you asking me to use my daughter as bait?" Uncle Xiao rolled his eyes at him. "Get out of here. Your daughter is dying to do it anyway. Besides, do you really think you can keep your daughter in check? Instead of letting her run amok in the academy, it's better to let her go and build a romantic relationship with Ye Xiao." Huo Wudi offered a sheepish smile and rubbed his head. "That's true." Huo Wu was just like a little tyrant, bullying the students in the academy at every turn and loving to act as the boss, which also left him somewhat helpless. "Forget it, let them be. But you must remind Huo Wu that until she reaches the right age, she must never do that kind of thing." Uncle Xiao said helplessly, "The boy is still young. He must not be ruined by Huo Wu." "Scram!" ... For the following month, Ye Xiao remained in seclusion at the hotel. He consumed and cultivated with all the purchased whale rubber. Tuantuan also finished absorbing the remaining fire pattern fruits. Each fire pattern fruit increased Tuantuan's age by a thousand years. For a top-grade spirit medicine, the increase was not very significant. It was clear that wanting to help Tuantuan increase her age still required relying on immortal herbs or using the methods researched by his own descendants. Otherwise, it was somewhat a waste of the spirit medicine. Now Tuantuan's age had reached over four thousand five hundred years. And Ye Xiao's physical body had also entered seven thousand years, coming closer and closer to ten thousand years. Not to mention, whale rubber provided a truly massive boost for a soul master at Ye Xiao's level. It was just that taking it was somewhat of a torment. Ye Xiao soaked in ice water every day. Otherwise, the heat would go straight to his head. All in all, the one month of closed-door cultivation brought a relatively large improvement to Ye Xiao's strength. His first spirit ability entered the millennium level, and its effects became even better. Now Ye Xiao could easily win in a matchup against Huo Wu. [Ye Xiao: I'm out of seclusion.] [Ye Qianxue: Father, you finally spoke. Not seeing you for several days made things rather boring.] [Ye Xiao: Better raise your strength properly. Even Wanqing over there is already a demigod.] [Ye Qianxue: (￢︿̫̿￢☆)] [Ye Wanqing: Great Grandfather, come outside. My Great Grandmother should be right at the entrance of Ye Mansion helping other ordinary people with treatments.] [Ye Xiao: Good, I'll go take a look.] Over the past few days, Ye Xiao had long since inquired about the location of Ye Mansion. The Nine Heart Begonia Ye Family held a quite favorable reputation and network of connections in Heaven Dou City. In the West District of Heaven Dou City lay a relatively quiet street of alleys. The architecture here was not as magnificent and resplendent as the central commercial district; instead, it was very elegant and solemn. Following the directions he had asked for, Ye Xiao turned through a few secluded alleys paved with bluestone slabs and stopped not far from a residence. Above the vermilion-lacquered gate hung a black plaque with gold characters inscribed with two words: Ye Mansion! The entryway was not ostentatious and even appeared somewhat understated. At this moment, the scene before the gates of Ye Mansion stood in sharp contrast to the quiet surroundings. Two long lines had formed in front of the main gate, and at a rough glance, there must have been no fewer than several dozen people. These people wore varying attire, ranging from the coarse cloth and hemp garments of commoners to the tight-fitting leather armor of low-tier soul masters. Most of them wore sorrowful expressions, with some even wrapped in blood-seeping bandages, while others had pale complexions and weak breathing. Everyone waited in line quietly and in an orderly fashion. A wooden table stood in front of the main gate, and sitting behind it was a busy young girl. The girl looked to be in her early teens, with a slender and slim figure. She wore an inconspicuous black dress, and her waterfall-like cascading blue long hair shimmered softly under the sunlight, making her particularly striking. She lowered her head slightly, focusing on the person in front of her and revealing a fair profile. Her eyes and hair were the exact same color, pure and without the slightest impurity, clear to the bottom. Ye Xiao could not read much emotion in her eyes, only wisps of fatigue. Her hands hovered lightly in front of her, and above her palms was a pink begonia flower. This was the Nine Heart Begonia, hailed as one of the strongest healing-type martial souls on the continent. As for this little girl, she was naturally Ye Lingling. Ye Lingling continuously treated the people before her, but her mood did not seem very good. Ye Xiao initiated a live broadcast. [Ye Wanqing: Great Grandmother, it's Great Grandmother. At this time, Great Grandmother's psychology has already developed a bit of a problem. If Great Grandfather directly starts from Great Grandmother's psychological issues, it will be very easy to win her over.] [Ye Xiao: Because of the Nine Heart Begonia?] [Ye Wanqing: Yes, that feeling of watching one's own family members willingly march to their deaths is extremely hard to bear. So... as long as you can solve this inherent deficiency problem of the Nine Heart Begonia, you can easily win over Ye Lingling and Ye Liuli.] [Ye Xiao: Ye Liuli?] Ye Xiao was stunned for a moment. Why did this name feel somewhat familiar? It seemed to be the name of the Ye Family Head, Ye Lingling's mother. Could it be... that I... am a Cao thief once again!! [Ye Qianxue: Lingling's mother's mother, and also your... hehe...] [Ye Xiao: ???] [Ye Wanqing: Ahem... These are all matters from the older generation, so there's nothing we can say.] [Ye Yuanling: Actually, it's just that Grandpa's charm was too high, so they all ended up liking him together, that's all.] [Ye Xiao: Stop talking. I'm still just a child, I don't understand, I don't understand!] [Ye Kaining: (^_^)] [Ye Kaiyang: (^_^)] [Ye Chengyue: Although we can't say anything, this hobby really feels like it gets inherited. Every single generation has one or two people like this who love doing this kind of thing.] [Ye Qianxue: Nonsense! It has nothing to do with my father. It's just that their own character is no good. My father is the greatest man in the world!] Ye Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth. Good fellow, it really was Jian'an Style and Wei Wu Legacy. Could this sort of thing actually be passed down? He refused to take the blame for this. His daughter spoke well; it was entirely their own problem and had nothing to do with him in the least. Damn descendants, making their ancestor take the blame for their own hobbies—where was the logic in that? Don't let me find out who you are, or I'll make sure the others properly discipline the lot of you!
