My wife who comes from a wealthy family
Chapter 70 - 70 71 Ye Wudao Accepts an Apprentice

70: Chapter 71 Ye Wudao Accepts an Apprentice 70: Chapter 71 Ye Wudao Accepts an Apprentice Ye Wudao heard the words, his old face flushed, and he coughed, “Cough, I can agree, but I’m afraid Yueli and your sister won’t agree?”

“Hmph, I’m no worse than them, this lady has stunning beauty!” Xu Mengmeng pouted.

“Alright Mengmeng, dropping out is out of the question, here’s the 100,000 you wanted!” Ye Wudao took out 100,000 cash from his pocket.

“Oh my, Brother Ye, how did you manage to make 100,000 in three days?” Xu Mengmeng’s face was filled with disbelief.

“Adult matters, kids shouldn’t interfere!” Ye Wudao said sternly, he couldn’t possibly tell her that the 100,000 was earned by he and her sister selling stockings at a stall, right?

After a pause, Ye Wudao asked, “Can you now tell me what you need the 100,000 for?”

Xu Mengmeng said, “There’s an old man at Jiang University, a very nice person who also taught me to paint.

But he has fallen ill recently, very seriously, and I want to pay for his treatment!”

So that was it!

Ye Wudao suddenly realized, “Mengmeng is really kind-hearted!”

“Let’s go, Brother Ye, I’ll take you!” Xu Mengmeng took Ye Wudao’s hand, and the two of them, close as a couple, shocked the surrounding male students.

“No wonder Mengmeng has been rejecting everyone else’s proposals!”

“So she has a boyfriend!”

“So envious!” All the male students were green with jealousy.

…

Junkyard, an old dilapidated house.

“Yuanyuan, why did you bring me here, we’re not here to pick up trash, are we?” Ye Wudao curiously asked.

“The old man lives here!” Xu Mengmeng looked at the old house in front of her and said, “Little Beggar!”

The door opened, and a boy with a rough and tumble appearance walked out, his clothes tattered and patched, yet his eyes were as bright as jewels.

“It’s Sister Mengmeng!” The boy named Little Beggar, seeing Xu Mengmeng, excitedly ran over.

“Is he your friend?” Ye Wudao curiously asked.

“Yes, he’s called Little Beggar, an orphan who makes a living with an old man who collects junk!” Xu Mengmeng explained.

Ye Wudao stared at the boy in front of him, noticing that the child was emitting not weak fluctuations of True Qi, his pupils suddenly constricted.

Little Beggar seemed to notice and glared at Ye Wudao with hostility, like a young lion.

“Little Beggar, don’t be nervous, this is my sister’s brother, Ye Wudao!” Xu Mengmeng hurriedly explained.

Little Beggar then relaxed, his large eyes turning toward Xu Mengmeng, “Sister Mengmeng, I heard that someone is bothering you at Jiang University, I’ll go beat them up for you!”

“No way!” Xu Mengmeng quickly shook her head, “If you beat someone up, the school will kick you out!”

Little Beggar silently bowed his head.

He was an undocumented person; if not for the old janitor, he would have been driven out long ago.

“Is the old man home?” Xu Mengmeng asked.

“Grandfather, he…,” Little Beggar lowered his head, wiping his tears with his hand, said, “It’s almost, almost over for him!”

What?!

Xu Mengmeng’s face turned pale and she hurried into the house.

The home was spartan but immaculate, an elderly white-haired man lay on a sickbed, his breath extremely weak.

“Old Grandfather, I’m here to see you, I will definitely cure you!” Xu Mengmeng leaned over the sickbed.

The old man struggled to open his eyes; seeing Xu Mengmeng, he smiled contentedly, “Mengmeng, you are a good girl, but Grandfather is no longer well!”

“Let me take a look.” Ye Wudao walked over.

The old man raised his head, glanced at Ye Wudao and his pupils sharply constricted, “You, you are the King of the Northern Town?!”

The King of the Northern Town?!

Ye Wudao, hearing this, was taken aback, “Why do you all say I’m the King of the Northern Town?”

First it was Old Man Su, then Xiong Fei, and now it’s this old man’s turn.

“This humble one, Qin Ze, I have seen, have seen the King of the Northern Town!” Overcome with emotion, the old man on the bed fell off.

“Get up quickly!” Ye Wudao quickly supported the elder, “I am not the King of the Northern Town, you have mistaken me for someone else.”

“You are not the King of the Northern Town?

That’s impossible, you look so similar to the King!” Qin Ze was very excited.

Ye Wudao smiled, “Many people have said that!”

But in his heart, Ye Wudao also had some doubts.

Could it be that the so-called King of the Northern Town was indeed related to him?

Qin Ze’s look was tinged with a trace of sadness, “Although you are not the King, being able to meet someone who looks so much like him before I die is enough for me to die without regrets…”

Having said that, the elder let go.

“Grandpa!” The little beggar cried out.

“Brother Ye, please save the old master!” Xu Mengmeng was anxious.

Ye Wudao touched the elder’s wrist and found that his hand was ice cold, the pulse throbbing at an extremely low frequency; it was a sign of impending death.

In a few minutes, he would be gone.

“It’s not an external injury, but an internal one!” Ye Wudao instantly assessed the old man’s condition, lifted the elder’s shirt, and saw his body was covered in scars like centipedes, the internal organs were already deeply damaged.

Even Ye Wudao was momentarily stunned by the severity of the injuries; there was nothing even he could do!

Let alone him, even if the master healer of Mount Kunlun himself came, he couldn’t save him!

“I’m sorry, there’s nothing I can do!” Ye Wudao said with a bitter smile.

“Grandpa, don’t die!” the little beggar threw himself on the elder, weeping bitterly.

“Brother Ye, I beg you!” Xu Mengmeng cried.

“At most, I can only prolong his life for half an hour!” Ye Wudao sighed, placed his hands on the elder, and constantly infused True Qi.

The elder slowly opened his eyes, looked at Ye Wudao, and said with a bitter smile, “Young man, you shouldn’t waste your True Qi on me; I’m already stepping into the grave; no one can save me!”

“Old sir, who are you?” Ye Wudao asked.

“I am Qin Ze, the Family Head of one of the ten great families in the Capital City, the Qin family.

Once, I too was a renowned Great Grandmaster, admired by thousands,” the elder slowly said.

Wow!

Quite the background!

Ye Wudao gasped in surprise!

The ten great families of the Capital City were among the most powerful in Dragon Country, with assets worth hundreds of billions and full of mighty individuals!

This Qin Ze was also a high-caliber martial arts Grandmaster!

“Then how did you fall into such a state?” Ye Wudao asked, puzzled.

The elder turned his gaze to the little beggar next to him and said, “It’s this child, his identity is special.

Seven years ago, to protect him, the Qin family suffered a destructive attack from our enemies!

We were nearly wiped out, and it was only with the help of Lord King of the Northern Town that I managed to escape the Capital City with him, barely clinging to life.”

Seven years ago!

Ye Wudao’s pupils contracted, the plight of this poor child was so similar to his own!

It was also seven years ago that the Ye family was destroyed, he himself had his supreme bone broken, and a martial arts prodigy turned into a cripple.

His parents took him and fled the Capital City, their fate unknown.

If it had not been for later meeting Su Yueli, who was mountain climbing and went through great hardships to carry him to Mount Kunlun, and then meeting the seven masters, he probably would have died an unjust death long ago, right?

Ye Wudao earnestly looked at the little beggar next to him, feeling a natural affinity for him, and he could see that this child had extraordinary bloodlines.

Just thirteen or fourteen years old, he already had the cultivation level of the initial stage of Energy Transformation, which was quite astonishing.

The elder slowly took out a purple jade pendant from his body, trembling as he said, “This is the ancestral Jade Pendant of the Qin family, which protects the wearer from all poisons and also accelerates the cultivation speed.

Young man, from the moment you entered the room, I have been paying attention to you; I couldn’t even see through your strength!

I, I want to give it to you as a token of this little beggar’s apprenticeship to you!”

“Cough, little beggar, aren’t you going to kneel and kowtow?” the elder chided.

With a thump, the little beggar knelt before Ye Wudao.

“Master above, please accept your disciple’s bow!”

“Well, I accept,” Ye Wudao took the Jade Pendant from the elder’s hand.

“Good deeds will be rewarded…” the elder wore a smile on his face as he passed, completing his long and bumpy journey through life.
