Chapter 216: The First Name

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Lu Mingshu went into the Heavenly Wheel and called the tool-refining master. She gave her all the materials that Brother Six found for her along with the Yellow Mystic Stones.

“There are three more materials, but I can’t find them right now.”

“It’s fine, I’ll only need them later. I’ll make the foundation first, just pass them to me when you get them.”

“Okay.”

As she was about to exit the Heavenly Wheel, she saw something different.

“Xiao Sang.”

“Yes?”

“Why did my points increase by ten?”

After the Qilin Festival ended, her points hadn’t changed, but today, they suddenly increased by ten.

“You can try to recall what you’ve experienced.”

“Experienced? Getting some Yellow Mystic Stones?” Doesn’t seem like it. The Heavenly Wheel never cared about what treasures I got before. “Perhaps defeating those four?”

Lu Mingshu suddenly realized something. During the Heavenly Door competition and the Qilin Festival, she always thought that the points came from becoming more well-known, but maybe the main reason was something else. From both of those experiences, she had a huge improvement in her ability. So it’s that?

After fighting the four Ye Family disciples, she gained quite a bit. For example, she learned about Mystic Water Sword Manifestation and the pros and cons of it.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Wheel’s actual use seemed to only activate after she entered the Harmonization Realm. Except for the cultivation limitation, is there also a problem with not having enough points?

If that was the case, there was no need for her to neglect the root and pursue the tip. She could just use the simplest method – non-stop challenges. She was a martial artist anyway, so that was the best way for her to improve.

Whatever, I’m just here to travel. I’ll deal with that afterwards.

After going back to Green Hills Bank, Captain Ding came to find her.

“Miss Lu, since you and the Ye Family have a feud now, let’s not travel to White Heron State now?”

The first meeting on the water that embarrassed the one Ye Family disciple wasn’t a big deal. However, she had offended the Ye Family quite badly now, and the Ye Family Elders would surely interfere with this matter. If she still travelled to White Heron State now, she would just be searching for trouble.

Lu Mingshu didn’t reject. “Where does Sir think we should travel to next?”

Captain Ding stroked his beard. “This old man thinks that Remainder Island is a good choice.”

Green Hills Bank was situated near Zhongzhou. Going east would lead one to White Heron State, and going west would lead to Black Crane State. Remainder Island was situated somewhat in the middle of them both. White Heron State was long, and Remainder Island was connected to the western end of White Heron State. Thus, it was called Remainder Island because it looked like an extra bit.

Remainder Island was technically part of the Ye Family’s territory too, but the Ye Family was situated in the eastern side of the state, so there wouldn’t be many Ye Family members lurking around there. As long as they didn’t offend the guards there, they would not meet up with much trouble.

“Sir is indeed thoughtful. Let’s do it.”

Captain Ding went over gladly and called Ah Lang and Ah Ling to get ready to leave.

Lu Mingshu braved the winds and the waves, but on the other hand, the Ye Family was in a mess.

“Eleventh Young Master, please.” The guard, who looked like a guard of hell, held out his hand emotionlessly.

Ye Shiyi gulped. He calmed himself down and went in.

As the Eleventh Young Master in the Ye Family, he obviously wasn’t afraid of the guard, but the guard’s master.

He went past the screen, and he saw a wide stone table in front of him.

A lamp was placed in the center of the stone table, and it was currently lit up, brightening the whole room. Gems were placed on top of the table, emitting a dazzling radiance. The brilliant colours attracted everyone’s attention.

A man in blue stood beside the stone table, lightly wiping it.

He was not old – only in his twenties – but his posture and serious expression gave a different feeling to the same clothes that Ye Shiyi was wearing; confident, proud, and hard to grasp.

“Third Brother….” Ye Shiyi called out softly.

The man looked up. He had a well-defined face, with a sharp nose and chin. His almond-shaped eyes looked cold, making him rather handsome.

He glanced over at Ye Shiyi before looking back down. He never stopped wiping the gemstones the whole time.

“Spill it, what happened?”

Ye Shiyi felt like crying.

After causing both of his elder brothers to nearly die, why would he and Eighth Sister hide it? They sped home, causing a total mess.

Not mentioning himself or Eighth Sister, Ninth Brother and Tenth Brother were disciples that the Ye Family put a lot of effort into cultivating. They suddenly came back home with serious injuries, so how could this not be an important matter?

When Ninth Brother and Tenth Brother were brought in to check their injuries, he was on tenterhooks.

It was such a serious matter, so he would definitely be questioned. He didn’t know who, but among the various uncles, there were a few who were more lenient.

However, he never would have guessed that it would be his Third Brother.

His Third Brother belonged to the same generation. He wasn’t much older, but he was the best in their generation. He had an excellent body constitution, and he was very intelligent. He played a leading role in their generation, and he was already learning how to take charge of the household since a young age. He was even better than many of the uncles.

However, no matter how good he was, to his younger siblings, this Third Brother was… too difficult to cope with.

He had an odd temper; he was erratic and unpredictable. He was also hard to read. Ye Shiyi couldn’t imagine what would happen if he talked about what happened.

However, he had no choice but to tell the whole story with a sullen face.

When he got to the point where they planned the trap to have the other party go the eye of the Ming River, his Third Brother stopped wiping his gemstone.

When he finished talking, he realized that his Third Brother had stopped wiping and was just staring at him quietly.

Ye Shiyi trembled. His Third Brother had a hobby, which was collecting different types of gemstones. When he was bored, he would stay in his room and take care of them carefully. To him, nothing was more important than his gemstones.

However, he stopped polishing them now.

It’s a big deal. Ye Shiyi looked down.

“You guys set a trap and tricked her to the eye of the Ming River?”

“Yes….”

“You all joined forces and still lost?”

“Yes….”

“The Mystic Water Sword Formation was broken by her?”

“Yes….” After answering the third question, Ye Shiyi shut his eyes tight in despair. Will Third Brother skin me alive?

The Ye Family never cared about how arrogant and despotic their disciples were. They were such a huge aristocratic family; if their kids couldn’t be arrogant, what did their ancestors work so hard for? However, it was a taboo to be embarrassed by others. In the Ye Family, being born here made you superior already, so if you lose, what’s the point in living?

Especially his Third Brother. “Winner takes all” was his motto. Ability spoke the loudest, and if one was not capable, heh….

However, the scary punishment in Ye Shiyi’s imagination didn’t come true. He looked up to see his Third Brother sneering, making chills run down his spine.

“Say it, what’s her name?”

“Lu Mingshu, a Nine Jade Palace disciple,” Ye Shiyi stammered.

In an instant, he saw his Third Brother reach out and throw a scroll at his face.

Ye Shiyi caught the scroll. It was titled, “The New Ranking.”

“The first name – read it out!”

Ye Shiyi opened the scroll, his eyes widening upon seeing the name.
