Ye Wushuang waved his hand and said, “It was just a coincidence, nothing more. Moreover, Qing Shiyu has also helped me prove my innocence, so we’re even.”
Qing Shihua smiled and said, “Master Ye, as a descendant of the Ye clan, you probably don’t know much about the current capital.”
“I’m all ears,” Ye Wushuang replied.
The two walked together through the vast Wang family mansion. Qing Shihua began, “Back in the day, the Ye clan was glorious and powerful. After Ye Wentian passed away, the Ye clan declined.”
“Now in the capital, Qing Tian City, the Chu clan, Qin clan, Xiao clan, Liu clan, and other major families are all prosperous and strong.”
“Generally speaking, the entire capital can be divided into three major forces.”
“The first is the current royal family, the Qing clan. The royal Qing clan has been established for over a thousand years and has deep roots. Even the once-mighty Ye clan was slightly lacking in terms of foundation compared to them.”
“The second is the Qingyun Academy. The Qingyun Academy also has a long history. Its disciples, once they leave the academy, are spread all over the vast empire. There are also some extremely talented ones who have made a name for themselves beyond the Qingyun Empire, in the vast Qingzhou.”
“The third is the major families, such as the Qin clan and Chu clan. They are interconnected and can influence many things in the Qingyun Empire…”
The two arrived at a pavilion. Standing by the pavilion, Qing Shihua said with a smile, “Master Ye has offended the Qin clan and Chu clan. Even if you enter the Qingyun Academy in the capital, you will still face endless troubles.”
“Moreover, although Master Ye yourself has the title of a Qingyun Academy disciple, your family members do not… If the Qin clan or Chu clan were to take action against your family, it would be very troublesome…”
After witnessing Mu Qiqi’s performance just now, Qing Shihua had realized that Ye Wushuang was particularly obedient to his mother and sister.
“Therefore, as Mu Qiqi just mentioned, if you become a guest pill master of the Qingyun Pavilion, there are many benefits. At least while you cultivate within the Qingyun Academy, the Qingyun Pavilion can ensure the safety of your sister and your mother.”
Ye Wushuang nodded. Since he had already decided to become a guest pill master of the Qingyun Pavilion, he naturally intended to make use of this identity.
“Moreover…”
Qing Shihua continued, “As far as I know, when the Ye clan was destroyed, the Holy Elixir Pavilion… also played a part…”
“Holy Elixir Pavilion!”
Ye Wushuang’s eyebrows shot up. The Holy Elixir Pavilion was also involved?
So it seemed that joining the Qingyun Pavilion was indeed the right choice.
Ye Wushuang asked, “Miss Shihua, could you please tell me more…”
Qing Shihua nodded and said, “Back then, the Ye clan’s leader, Ye Wentian, had eighteen Ask-the-Heaven Guards, all of whom were figures on par with the heads of major clans. One of the eighteen guards, Tang Wenchuan, was the most powerful fourth-rank spiritual pill master in the empire at that time.”
“He developed at least a hundred different pill techniques. The Holy Elixir Pavilion, in order to obtain these pill formulas, secretly deployed many martial artists of the Heavenly Gorge realm to hunt down Tang Wenchuan.”
“Because there was a rivalry between the Qingyun Pavilion and the Holy Elixir Pavilion, the Qingyun Pavilion had intended to protect this fourth-rank spiritual pill master, but unfortunately, they were too late.”
“However…”
Qing Shihua looked at Ye Wushuang earnestly and said, “I am only telling you this because you are a descendant of the Ye clan.”
“Later on, the Qingyun Pavilion did manage to save Tang Wenchuan’s son, ensuring that Tang Wenchuan’s lineage was not completely wiped out.”
“The Qingyun Pavilion later sent Tang Wenchuan’s son away to a safe place, but eventually, the Holy Elixir Pavilion found out and kept sending people to hunt him down…”
“After many twists and turns, to this day, Tang Wenchuan’s only surviving descendant is a man named Tang Tianyou. He was discovered by a pill master of the Qingyun Pavilion a few years ago and brought back to the Qingyun Pavilion, thus preserving Tang Wenchuan’s legacy…”
Hearing these words, Ye Wushuang’s hands inside his sleeves unconsciously clenched into fists.
