Chapter 227: Chapter 227 I Don’t Patronize Prostitutes

At the same time.

In a city thousands of miles away.

A sunny-looking big boy was walking down the street, bustling with traffic and people, children frolicking, all in good cheer, the scene was lively.

But the sunny big boy was not sunny at all, his handsome face filled with melancholy, out of place amidst the surrounding joy.

"Brother-in-law is an F Talent Level, and so am I. But he’s faking it, while I’m the real deal, sigh..."

Ye Ajian sighed helplessly.

It’s been a month since his awakening, and he had been slowly coming to terms with the fact that he possessed an F Talent Level.

But reality is, after all, reality, and not so easily accepted.

No matter what, he couldn’t understand how he could be an F Talent Level.

Both his parents were SS Talent Level, and his older brother was S Talent Level. Even if his genes were sub-par, it shouldn’t have been an F Talent Level, right?

It made him feel as if he wasn’t their biological child.

"Sigh, forget it, even though I’m an F Talent Level, I’m still much better off than other people. At least I can form a Contract with an Artifact Spirit."

Ye Ajian thought this, trying to comfort himself.

If there were a starting line for cultivation, his awakening was as if he was already in Rome.

For ordinary people, awakening to an F Talent Level pretty much meant no girls would take any interest in them.

But it was different for him, his family was from the Northern Town, regardless of how poor his Talent Level was, he could still form a Contract with an Artifact Spirit.

And with the family resources, reaching Second Grade Spirit Master in this lifetime would probably not be a problem.

And with a big family and business like the Ye Family, with his elder brother becoming a Commander at a young age and set to inherit his father’s legacy.

With a sister and brother-in-law who defied the skies, breaking through to Third Grade within a year, becoming the wonders of the Federation that many envied.

So for him, Ye Ajian, being a laid-back second-generation military kid wasn’t all that bad.

"Second Grade..."

Ye Ajian couldn’t help but lift his head to look at the sky; Second Grade might be excellent in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the Ye Family, it didn’t even qualify one for the battlefield.

"Sigh..."

"And still, I can’t reconcile with it."

Ye Ajian shook his head helplessly, a bitter smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

A compromise of acceptance is but a fleeting thought, yet that thought is like a reed in the wind, swaying back and forth, never coming to rest.

"Young Master, you’ve been out for a month now, it’s time to return to the academy," said the bodyguard following him.

"With my Talent Level, going back to the academy makes no difference. Might as well just go home," Ye Ajian said.

It was time to go back anyway, the road must be walked.

"Little brother, you look to be over eighteen, right?" Just then, a man who looked somewhat sly appeared in front of Ye Ajian.

His eyes were large, and when he spoke, they seemed to twinkle mischievously, a kind of ill-intentioned light shining within.

"What do you want? I don’t engage in prostitution."

Ye Ajian felt a chill in his heart seeing his expression and tone.

This couldn’t be a pimp, could it?

The man laughed, "What are you talking about, little brother? I’m not that kind of person."

"I don’t do fandom stuff either."

Man: ...

"Little brother, you have quite the imagination..."

After saying this, and afraid that Ye Ajian might think of other inappropriate things, he quickly clarified his purpose, "Little brother, I see you walking alone on the road, where is your Artifact Spirit? Why isn’t it with you?"

"She’s at home."

Ye Ajian felt that this man’s eyes seemed eager to dissect you and watch, and thought he wasn’t a good person, so he didn’t tell the truth.

Who knew that the man saw through his lie in an instant, "Young man, stop lying. I heard you talking to yourself just now; you don’t actually have an Artifact Spirit."

"Who says I’m lying? My Artifact Spirit is indeed at home; it’s just that I haven’t met her yet," Ye Ajian defended.

Man: Uh...

If that’s what you say, then I apologize, okay?

"Don’t be afraid, young man, I’m not a bad person. In fact, I’m F-Level just like you."

The man revealed his Talent Level to put Ye Ajian at ease.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Ye Ajian’s expression became slightly surprised, and then he looked at the man’s side and understood something, "So you’ve come to mock me for not having an Artifact Spirit?"

Man: ????

He then realized what Ye Ajian was looking at.

"Young man, can your thought process not be so clear? Do I really look like a villain?" The man pushed the woman next to him aside and then combed his hair, not forgetting to wet it with some saliva.

"You don’t look like a villain, you’re more like a henchman," Ye Ajian said seriously after sizing him up.

Hearing this, the man’s face instantly became a bit displeased, "It’s impolite to talk like that, young man."

"I didn’t say you were a henchman, why are you so worked up, unless you really are one?"

Ye Ajian’s suspicious gaze scrutinized the man.

The man’s discontented expression froze for a moment, then softened, even becoming a bit embarrassed, "Yeah, right, I’m not a henchman, hehe."

Having said that, he introduced himself, "My name is Wang Hou, what’s your name, young man?"

"Ye Ajian."

"Brother Ajian, rest assured I’m really not a bad person. Seeing that you’re also F-Level, we’re in the same boat, both belonging to the lowest rung of society, so I wanted to help you."

"Help me? How do you plan to help?" Seeing him getting to the point, Ye Ajian also grew interested.

Wang Hou pulled back the woman he had just pushed away, his hand on her waist, showing off proudly, "Firstly, let me introduce her. This is my Artifact Spirit, Flame Saber, an E-Level quality Artifact Spirit!"

As he spoke, Wang Hou didn’t forget to show it off.

He activated his Spirit Manipulation Energy, and the woman transformed into the Artifact Spirit True Body in Wang Hou’s hand, a red long saber.

The blade was wide and thick, emitting a hot aura, indeed of E-Level quality.

Wang Hou was very proud.

But Ye Ajian wasn’t impressed; if he wanted to, people would make Contracts with him for not just E-Level but even D-Level Artifact Spirits.

But for Wang Hou, this was indeed something to show off.

Curiosity struck Ye Ajian. Wang Hou dressed plainly, and his speech and mannerisms weren’t elegant—he was just a very ordinary man. How did he manage to contract an E-Level Artifact Spirit?

For someone like him, looks aside, having an F-Level Artifact Spirit would be a miracle, let alone an E-Level Contract.

Could it be because of love?

Wang Hou was paying close attention to Ye Ajian’s expression. Seeing the interest in his eyes, he knew the fish had taken the bait.

So he immediately struck while the iron was hot, put his hand on Ye Ajian’s shoulder, and spoke in a very friendly manner, "Brother Ajian, how about it? Would you like to Contract a high-quality Artifact Spirit like mine?"

Ye Ajian, looking at the Artifact Spirit who had returned to human form, pondered for a moment before asking, "How much?"

"Money?"

Wang Hou didn’t catch on, "Do you think I’m a human trafficker talking about money?"

"Isn’t it?"

Ye Ajian looked at him very seriously.
