I became rich overnight. My grocery store is connected to the three realms.

Chapter 16: Cartilage

Ye Lanxi patiently persuaded: "Anu, this is the secret medicine of the God Realm. Take a sip. It will definitely be of great benefit to your injury."

Anu gritted his teeth and refused to drink anything.

"My lord."

A maid suddenly reported respectfully from outside the screen.

"Master, the palace has sent an invitation, inviting you to attend a banquet at the palace tonight."

"understood."

As a master of the Taixu Realm, it is only a matter of time before he is summoned by the royal family.

Ye Lanxi just didn't expect it to happen so soon.

After he settled Anu down, he walked out of the room and saw Ye Xingfeng, who was so thin that he looked like he had been pinched by a door panel.

Ye Xingfeng was kneeling on the steps with his upper body naked, and a few finger-thick brambles were stuck in his waistband.

Seeing Ye Lanxi coming out, Ye Xingfeng yelled at the top of his voice: "Fourth brother, second brother is guilty, second brother is sorry for you, hit me now!"

Ye Lanxi curled her lips with interest: "Tell me, what are your crimes?"

"My crimes are so heinous that they cannot be listed in words!"

"But I am not a bad person. Everything I did was instigated by that bastard Yamasun!"

As Ye Xingfeng spoke, he stomped heavily on the hard stone steps.

Ye Lanxi originally thought that he was just pretending, but she didn't expect that Ye Xingfeng's kowtow was genuine.

When Ye Xingfeng raised his head, a blue bump the size of an egg appeared on his forehead.

It looks painful.

Ye Lanxi found it quite interesting.

"You have bullied me for more than ten years. Was it all instigated by Yamosun? You have done nothing wrong?"

"I was at fault too."

Ye Xingfeng started to defend himself with a dry and thin face.

"Fourth brother, you also know that I am an unwelcome bastard in the Ye Mansion."

"Since I was little, my mother has taught me to be a good and obedient child. I must listen to my father, my eldest brother, and my mistress, Madam Luo Qi."

"I believe whatever my eldest brother says, and I also believe whatever my father says."

"They said you were not of the Ye family, and I believed them. They said you deserved death, and I believed them. They said using human blood to feed the Gu worms would be twice as effective with half the effort, and I believed them blindly..."

"But I remember."

Ye Lanxi looked down at Ye Xingfeng who was kneeling on the ground, as if he was looking at a tiny ant.

Hatred welled up in every word.

"But I clearly remember that you used a knife to cut off my flesh piece by piece, claiming that it could be used to make soup, and that its nourishing effect was comparable to mutton and dog meat. You said that you would slowly drain my blood and turn me into the most obedient human-shaped Gu in the world. You even said..."

"sorry!"

Ye Xingfeng gritted his teeth and slammed his swollen head heavily against the bluestone steps again.

"I'm sorry!! It's all my fault that I was young and ignorant, which led me to do such an outrageous beastly act. I beg you, my fourth brother, to be magnanimous and give me a chance to make amends!!!"

boom!
This hit was harder than the previous one.

When Ye Xingfeng raised his head again, his forehead was covered in blood.

Then his tears began to flow.

"Fourth brother, master of the family, good brother, I really know I was wrong, wuwu..., can you please forgive me this time? I promise to listen to you in the future. If you tell me to go east, I will never dare to go west, wuwuwu..." It hurts so much~
"Row."

Ye Lanxi raised his head and looked at the sky: "If you really want to repent, kneel here and reflect on your mistakes. We'll talk when I come back."

"Yes! Master, please rest assured. I will kneel here and reflect on my mistakes!"

Ye Xingfeng kowtowed again and respectfully bid farewell to the master of the family.

Night Wing hid behind a stone pillar not far away and saw it all clearly.

He has dark skin and likes to wear dark clothes, so he is less likely to be discovered when hiding in the dark.

Seeing Ye Lanxi walking away, Ye Zhiyi spat a mouthful of pus on the ground, shrugged his shoulders, and walked over slowly.

"Tsk tsk~"

Ye Zhiyi made a disdainful sound: "Hey, when did our Ye family get a dog? Come, bark twice for your master to hear!"

Ye Xingfeng raised his head and rolled his eyes at him: "Idiot!"

"Am I stupid or are you stupid? Although we are illegitimate children, we are at least recognized by the Ye clan. But what about him? His mother followed his father without any status and was not even considered a concubine. He is a bastard who cannot see the light of day. Do you need to bear the bruises and apologize for him? It's okay for you to kneel down, but you also kowtow? It's okay for you to kowtow, but you kowtow until your head is broken and bleeding? Ye Xingfeng, when did your bones become so soft?" "My bones are soft?"

Night Breeze rolled his eyes.

"The poison I used yesterday wouldn't kill you, so why couldn't you even hold out for an hour? Aren't you the one who begged me to remove the poison with tears and snot? Are you the one who is more vulnerable?"

"That's me, that's..."

Nightwing was choked by him and was speechless for a moment.

Ye Xingfeng gritted his teeth secretly and continued:
"Now that his power has greatly increased, crushing us to death is like crushing an ant. Just think about it, considering what we have done to him over the past decade, how will he retaliate against us? Will he let us go if we don't kneel or kowtow? If you are stubborn, just wait to become a useless person like my brother!"

"..."

Nightwing thought about it carefully and suddenly broke out in a sweat.

He just came over from his elder brother Yamosun's place.

The court doctor said that it was fortunate that Ye Lanxi showed mercy yesterday. If the broken sword had deviated even a little bit, Ye Mosun would have died without a doubt.

The court doctor also said that eldest brother Ye Mosun's dantian had been shattered to pieces. Even if he was lucky enough to survive, he would be a powerless waste for the rest of his life.

Ye Mosun lay on the bed, clamoring for revenge on Ye Lanxi.

Since he was a child, Ye Zhiyi has followed the lead of his elder brother Ye Mosun. When Ye Mosun scolded Ye Lanxi, he also followed suit and cursed Ye Lanxi harshly.

But now I think about it, I may not be able to avenge my elder brother in my next life...

Good birds choose trees to roost in.

Big brother, this branch is useless, they should find another branch to perch on.

Ye Xingfeng rolled his eyes at him again: "Now he is the most powerful cultivator in the Great Fortune Kingdom. Even the royal family is polite to him. Ants like you and me are nothing in his eyes. If you don't kneel and kowtow, you will die."

"Humph!"

Nightwing suddenly turned and ran away.

Ye Xingfeng shook his head helplessly. It was impossible to persuade the damned ghost with kind words. He had already said everything he should and shouldn't say, but Ye Zhiyi wouldn't listen. If he died at the hands of Ye Lanxi in the future, he wouldn't blame him, his second brother, for not reminding him.

Ye Xingfeng was just thinking about it when he suddenly saw Ye Zhiyi running back like a gust of wind.

"what are you doing?"

"I will take this opportunity to apologize with my second brother."

Nightwing said as he took off his shirt. The thorn sticking on his back was bigger and thicker than Nightwind's.

After he knelt down, he squeezed in next to Ye Xingfeng and said, "Second brother, please move over a little and give me some room."

Ye Xingfeng couldn't help but rolled his eyes again: "..."

It's getting late.

As the lights came on, the palace looked even more magnificent and majestic.

Ye Lanxi was led by two palace servants through the winding palace road and walked towards Jinhua Terrace.

From afar, you can see the bright lights, red and green dancing, and the scene of laughter and joy.

Emperor Murong Yao was dressed in a bright yellow brocade robe embroidered with a picture of a dragon soaring over the sea. His godly majesty and innate nobility made him exude the aura of a king who shook the world just by sitting there.

But when he saw Ye Lanxi, his natural noble majesty was instantly broken.

"Hahahaha, Lord Ye, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time, hahaha."

"I, Ye Lanxi, greet your majesty. Long live your majesty. Long, long live your majesty."

“No need to kneel, no need to kneel, hahahahaha, Lord Ye is the most powerful person in my Great Xin Kingdom, there is no need to perform such a great ceremony.”

Murong Yao then offered him a seat.

As soon as Ye Lanxi took his seat, a beautiful lady brought him juicy grapes and sweet and delicious lychees.

A young woman in thin clothes put down the drink in her hand and did not leave. She knelt beside him and poured wine and served him food.

The woman touched him gently with her big white rabbit.

And winked at him.

Ye Lanxi was at the age of full vigor and vitality, and he should have fallen instantly.

But in his eyes, these vulgar women are not even as good as a hair of Fairy Si Yan.

He even felt that looking at the pair of trembling white rabbits in front of him was far less interesting than watching Ye Xingfeng banging his head against the blue stone with the bruise on his forehead.

Ye Lanxi cleared his throat and looked towards the favored Emperor Murong Yao who was sitting on the high seat.

"I wonder if your majesty has summoned me to the palace for some important matter?"
