Chapter 679: District 567, the mere Ancient Martial Grandmaster, master and disciple meet [1 Update]
Hearing this, Patriarch Ye was taken aback, "Miss Foo, what do you mean by this?"
Foo Chen couldn’t help but wrap himself up in his clothes, feeling inexplicably cold.
He always felt that their Ancestor was not quite right today.
"I’m sorry to trouble you. The Foo Family will surely repay this kindness in the future." Foo Xi stood up and was already walking towards the door, "Boy, come with me to the Xu Family."
Foo Chen had no time to think about what was happening and hurriedly stood up to follow, "An... Aunt, wait for me, don’t run so fast!"
Foo Xi was an ancient martial artist with such high cultivation; her speed was extremely fast.
The misery in his heart, no one knew.
The two quickly left, leaving the people of the Ye Family looking at each other in dismay.
Ye Changkong, who had been in charge of overseeing the Ye Family, suddenly spoke up with a solemn expression, "The Miss Foo just now, she is no simple individual."
"She was standing right in front of me, and yet I could not feel her presence within my inner strength."
These words startled Patriarch Ye, "Grandfather?"
Although it was with Ying Zijin’s help that Ye Changkong had broken through to ancient martial grandmaster, his cultivation was indeed genuine.
Ancient Martial Grandmaster, inner strength manifest.
As long as Ye Changkong released his inner strength, he could sense everything within a hundred miles.
The fact that he couldn’t feel Foo Xi’s presence proved that her cultivation was far beyond his.
Ancient Martial Families and Ancient Medical Families had marriages and many contracts between them, but no Ancient Martial Family would send an ancient martial artist more powerful than an ancient martial grandmaster to an Ancient Medicine Family.
Ancient Martial Families have always wanted to turn Ancient Medical Families into their subsidiaries; they just never succeeded.
So this could only be a member of the Foo Main House.
Moreover, judging by Foo Xi’s youthful appearance, it meant she achieved the level of ancient martial grandmaster a long time ago.
After all, only when one reached the level of an ancient martial grandmaster, could one retain their youthful appearance.
Patriarch Ye’s hand trembled, murmuring, "Since when did the Foo Family have such a powerful ancient martial artist..."
Ye Changkong was reassured, "With Senior Foo gone, Miss Ying will definitely be fine."
Patriarch Ye nodded, "Grandfather, I will go to the ancestral hall."
Ye Changkong was also aware of what happened with Ye Heng; his expression was very cold, "My Ye Family does not have such a person."
Ye Heng was still kneeling in the ancestral hall, shivering.
Hearing the door sound, hope flashed in his eyes as he pleaded, "Father, please let me go. I know I was wrong, truly wrong."
No matter what, he was the only son of Patriarch Ye; how could Patriarch Ye let the Ye Family line end?
"You know you were wrong? No, you don’t know what’s wrong, let me tell you where you erred!" Patriarch Ye wielded a whip, and with each declaration, he lashed Ye Heng’s back.
Blood ran down his back, skin split and flesh parted.
"First, you are selfish, only thinking of yourself, with no regard for others."
"Second, you are cowardly and afraid, not even a match for your sister as a man."
"Third, you betrayed the clan and your kin, in ancient times, you would be considered a traitor to the nation, fit only to be beheaded for all to see!"
The angrier Patriarch Ye spoke, the more agitated he became, "You’d better pray Miss Ying and Xiao Ling are unharmed!"
Ye Heng fell unconscious from the beating.
Patriarch Ye flung away the whip and then went to the doorway to wait for Ying Zijin and Xiao Ling.

Patriarch Xu, knowing that Ying Zijin obediently went to the Alchemy Room to refine medicine, was able to rest easy and went to sleep.
Madam Xu tucked Patriarch Xu in and suddenly remembered something, "What if this Ying Zijin poisons the mixture?"
"Madam, rest assured," said the butler, "All those herbs are non-toxic and don’t interact negatively with each other."
Who could possibly create poison out of thin air?
Madam Xu pursed her lips, "Ah, if only we could have invited Miss Qingjia over..."
When it came to medical skills, she trusted Lin Qingjia.
However, Lin Qingjia had been called away by a major clan earlier in the day, and the Xu Family couldn’t compete with the major clans.
But Patriarch Xu’s illness couldn’t be delayed any longer.
An hour later, Ying Zijin came out of the Alchemy Room with the medicine.
She tossed the bottle, "Here’s the medicine, now release them."
The butler caught it, and after having it examined by an ancient medical practitioner hired by the Xu Family and confirming that it was non-toxic, fed it to Patriarch Xu.
The medicine indeed worked quickly; not long after Patriarch Xu took it, his complexion began to improve.
Madam Xu was overjoyed.
She thought for a moment and then gave the butler a meaningful glance.
"Miss Ying, after some consideration, we’ve decided not to release them," spoke the butler, understanding the signal, "Why don’t you and Miss Ye Ling stay at the Xu Family? We will provide you with the best resources."
