The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood - Chapter 107

Chapter 107: Ye Qin’s Legacy

Ye Mo got word that the Goddess’s Tear was the treasure of the Women City from Xiao Yuanshan. The Women City was located in the northern part of the Tianwu Kingdom, a city with only females living in it. Men who wanted to enter the city had to go through many strict tests. But once they were in, these men were treated as precious guests by the women living there.

Ye Mo still had one thing he had to complete before leaving for the Women City.

Ye Mo walked alone on the street as people looked curiously at him. Some of the young ladies even went to greet Ye Mo under their parents’ orders. Yet Ye Mo kindly rejected their offers and continued to walk down the path.

Ye Mo was already the strongest among the younger generation. He was known as a warrior who could stand toe-to-toe with Energy Shaping First Realm warriors and was recruited by the Qingyun Alliance. He was a person with a bright future ahead of him.

It was expected that the smaller clans would try and get him on their side.

“They used to look at me with those disdainful eyes, yet now they treat me like a king!” Ye Mo sighed. “Only through power can one earn their respect.”

He arrived at Ye mansion. He smiled while looking at the huge sign.

Ye Kuang had previously sealed Ye Mo’s Energy Center and chased him out of the Ye clan, but now he returned with pride.

The two guards noticed Ye Mo drawing close, and their eyes widened. They had stern looks on their face as if they were questioning why Ye Mo was approaching the mansion.

“Don’t be so serious.” Ye Mo looked at the guards and smiled. “I’m not here for trouble, I’m just here to see my dad.”

Ye Qin was buried in the mountain behind Ye mansion. Ye Mo had to leave the next day in search of the Goddess’s Tear and would be heading to the Qingyun Alliance after that. Ye Mo didn’t think he’d be returning to the Limestone City for quite some time, so he took the liberty to visit his father’s grave before he left.

“Father? You mean Ye Qin?” one of the guards asked. “Wait a moment, I’ll inform the clan head.”

After a few minutes, Ye Kuang walked out from the mansion slowly.

“Ye Mo, what are you doing here?” Ye Kuang frowned.

“To take back my dignity, and to see my father,” Ye Mo replied coldly.

Ye Kuang stood in front of Ye Mo. Ye Kuang could’ve taken Ye Mo down if he wanted to, but he was afraid that Xiao Yuanshan might be keeping tabs on Ye Mo.

“Dignity?” Ye Kuang looked at Ye Mo and laughed. “I’ll admit that if I hadn’t chased you out that day, the Ye clan would’ve had two geniuses. But if you want your dignity back, never!”

“You think you’re really strong, don’t you?” Ye Kuang continued. “You defeated Man Qi with a charm! That wasn’t your own power! My son was scouted by the Union Chief, he’ll definitely be one of the top disciples at Qingyun Alliance. Your power is nothing compared to his!”

Ye Kuang believed that even if Ye Mo was currently stronger than Ye Changsheng, that his son’s talent was still greater than Ye Mo’s.

Even young masters of the biggest clan in the Tianwu Kingdom found it hard to be scouted by a Union Chief.

Their disciples were the strongest of the strongest.

“Not my own power? What if I told you that I created that charm myself?” Ye Mo replied and walked straight into the Ye mansion.

Ye Kuang looked at Ye Mo’s back and felt a chill down his spine. He couldn’t believe that Ye Mo was the one who created the charm as he’d spoken to his own Charm Master after the fight. The Charm Master told Ye Kuang that the charm Ye Mo had used was not something a Basic-level Charm Master could have achieved.

The Basic-level was one level higher than then Entry-level and was followed by the Intermediate-level.

It was impossible for Ye Mo to become a Basic-level Charm Master at his age nor did his cultivation level meet the minimum requirement of the Energy Shaping Realm.

Ye Mo walked through the grove and arrived at the cemetery. Ye Mo kneeled in front of his father’s grave and said, “Dad, I’m here. I did not disappoint you. I managed to kill an Energy Shaping First Realm warrior. Even you couldn’t have done that when you were at my age, could you?”

“I’ve also made out with the Imperial Concubine. Cool, right?”

“I’m not a cold-hearted person. I’ll take responsibility for it, even if she’s the Imperial Concubine. I’ll take her from the Emperor! I’ll definitely do it!”

“I’ve also fallen for another girl. Her name is Xiao Yue. I’ll bring her to meet you when the time is right.”

Tears began to blur Ye Mo’s sight.

“I should stop now, or you will definitely say that I’m being used by girls. But I’m not that stupid. I’ll be leaving the Limestone City tomorrow, please don’t miss me.”

Ye Mo bowed to his father and banged his head on the ground with a loud thud that shook the whole mountain.

Ye Mo got up and was ready to leave the Ye mansion. Every disciple stopped what they were doing as Ye Mo walked past and bid him farewell with their eyes.

“Ye Mei, you don’t have to hide, come on out,” Ye Mo said after he realized he was being followed.

Ye Mei peeked her head out from a boulder and said, “I still haven’t thanked you for saving me from Ye Changsheng.”

“Don’t mention it,” Ye Mo replied.

“Looks like you’re about to head to the Qingyun Alliance…” Ye Mei said. “I’ll do my best and get myself a spot in there too.”

“Here, take these,” Ye Mo said as he handed her a bag of pills. “There are 100 refined Fortifying Pills and one Energy Shaping Pill in there. Think of it as a token of my gratitude for taking care of Xiao Cao.”

The contents in the bag were expensive, and yet Ye Mo gave them away like they were nothing.

Ye Mei snatched the bag from Ye Mo without hesitation.

“I’ll never use the Energy Shaping Pill,” Ye Mei said. “I’ll advance to the Energy Shaping Realm with my own strength, and I’ll return the pill to you.”

Ye Mei was a little saddened by the fact that Ye Mo viewed Xiao Cao higher than herself.

“You should be proud of yourself. Your talent is even better than your body,” Ye Mo said. “If you really got into Qingyun Alliance, the boys will definitely drool over you. Let’s meet again at the Qingyun Alliance, and if I’m lucky enough, I will do well there, too.” Ye Mo finished his sentence and left.

“When I get there, I’ll stay by your side forever,” Ye Mei said as her heart filled with tenderness. She kept the pills and was ready to train.

“My daughter, what did Ye Mo tell you?” Ye Xiao asked as he suddenly appeared behind Ye Mei. “What did he give you?”

“100 refined Fortifying Pills and one Energy Shaping Pill,” Ye Mei answered.

“He gave you that many pills? Are they real?” Ye Xiao looked at his daughter in disbelief.

“Dad, did you know that we just missed our chance to become the strongest clan in all of Limestone City?” Ye Mei said. “I’ve already confirmed it with Ye Zhantian. The reason Ye Mo couldn’t breakthrough even one of his Mortal Gates for the past five years was that he had been using his energy to help save his father. He was the one who made these pills. The pills that Elder Ying showed us were probably made by him too.”

A woman’s interest in a man was something quite remarkable.

Ye Xiao felt as if he had just been struck by lightning. Even Ye Kuang and Ye Di were stunned where they stood as they were eavesdropping. Everything that had happened at the Martial Pavilion came to the forefront of their minds.

If they had forgiven Ye Mo and trained him like he was their own, the Ye Clan could’ve return to the glory they had when Ye Qin was alive.

The three brothers all groaned with regret.

That was the guy Ye Mo was, taking back dignity without saying anything. That was the guy that Ye Mei had fallen in love with.
