I Just Wanted to Live, but I Somehow Became Better Than the Main Character Chapter 5: The Ye Family’s Elders

Yong Er, why are you in such a hurry? Did sothing happen? the elder in the discussion chamber asked. He was the fifth elder of the Ye Family and Ye Yongs fourth grandfather. He was a strong cultivator in the Ascension Realm.

Logically speaking, cultivators that were as strong as him were sure to kill the male lead if they tried, but Ye Yong didnt dare to take a bet. After all, the male lead was the child of the realm. If he really could die, then he would have died way earlier. Besides, the system had ti him that the world had a consciousness, so even if he really asked the elder to kill the male lead, then so accidents would likely occur. For example, the elder could suddenly get diarrhea, even if it was supposed to be impossible for that to happen. Or another strong cultivator could happen to pass by and see the bullying and decide to help the male lead out of justice.

Ye Yong rembered that the Fifth Elder Ye had died a pitiful death. He was a powerhouse in the Ascension Realm, yet, he got lured into a secret realm and killed by the male lead, who was only in the Golden Core Realm at the ti. All of his treasures and items were taken by the male lead. He was way too pitiful.

This would be a good ti to ntion the cultivation realms. The realms in this world were: Qi Refinent, Foundation Establishnt, Crystallization, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Ascension, Void, Great Ascension, Saint, and Tribulation. After they broke through Tribulation Realm, they would beco immortals and go to the heavenly world and there would be other cultivation realms.

Anyways, it was unlike the new novels where the authors would create their own cultivation realms nas like Mysterious Yellow Realm and Mysterious Heavenly Realm. That would be fine, except for the fact that they really only changed the na without changing the design of the realms. All they did was make it harder for readers to rember the cultivation realms. Classic nas for cultivation realms like Qi Refinent Realm and Foundation Establishnt Realm were so much easier to rember.

Now getting back on track, Ye Yong would not dare to go against the male lead, even though the male lead was still in his infancy. After all, it was a gamble without any suspense- they would lose to the male lead no matter what they did. Losing not only ant death but also sending the male lead their treasures and items.

I want to discuss sothing with the elders, Ye Yong said, saluting.

Oh? Fifth Elder Ye was slightly stunned. He felt that Ye Yong was a bit different than before, so he used his divine sense to sweep through Ye Yongs body repeatedly, but he didnt find any problems. Ye Yongs soul was normal and he didnt seem to have demonized or gotten possessed by evil spirits.

Ye Yong was the genius of the Ye Family. He was only 18 years old, but he had already reached the seventh layer of Foundation Establishnt Realm and had a 5-colored foundation. His future was unlimited, and Fifth Elder Ye was pretty optimistic about Ye Yongs future and thought of him highly. As such, he didnt ask many questions and quickly inford the others with his divine sense.

Hearing that Ye Yong had sothing to discuss, all the elders that werent in training in seclusion quickly ca over. They might be powerhouses in the Nascent Soul and Ascension Realms, but they were pretty old and needed to rely on the younger generation to pass on the family heritage. Besides, Ye Yong wasnt just a genius, he was also the son of the current head of the family, and as such he still had a lot of say in things.

The Ye Familys Elders all sat down when they arrived. Ye Yongs dad, Ye Qian Lang, didnt co because he was cultivating in seclusion, but his mother, Lin Wei, did co. She was a beauty who looked like she was only 20 years old.

If Ye Yong rembered correctly, then Lin Wei seed to be about 300 years old and was a powerhouse at the early stage of Nascent Soul Realm. That was how immortal cultivators were. One couldnt judge others ages just based on their appearance.

Still, she was pretty talented to be at the Nascent Soul Realm at around age 300.

Because they saw each other and because cultivators had strong perceptions, Lin Wei imdiately realized that Ye Yong was a bit different. The thing that stood out to her the most was his eyes. Eyes were said to be the window to ones heart and spirit, and Lin Wei could see that Ye Yongs eyes no longer contained any hidden hostility or violence like they had in the past.

Like Fifth Elder Ye had done in the beginning, everyone continuously swept Ye Yongs body with their divine senses, but they couldnt find anything unusual.

Ye Yong had never ever thought about trying to pretend to be Ye Yong. He wasnt an actor, and he knew that he couldnt act like Ye Yong well enough. If soone asked him why he had changed, he would just say that he had been enlightened. Cultivators get enlightened all the ti anyway, so it was normal for them to have changes in their personalities.

After greeting the elders, Ye Yong began to talk about the reason that he had co to the discussion chamber. This junior feels that the engagent with Lady Qin Shi ng of the Qin family was too hasty, and it doesnt give us any ti to prepare. After having been in contact with her, this junior realizes that Lady Qin Shi ng has focused all her efforts on cultivation and does not want on Dao Companion. For the sake of both of our future, this junior requests that the elders agree to cancel the engagent.

Qin Familys Qin Shi ng isnt that much less talented than you are. Also, you two are the divine couple that people in the Great Zhou Dynasty had always talked about. Also, didnt you like Qin Shi ng a lot? Why do you suddenly want to cancel the engagent? Second Elder Ye asked, surprised.

The engagent had originally happened because Ye Yong had requested it after falling for Qin Shi ng. A certain soone had even taken his anger out on his servants after being refused by Qin Shi ng.

This junior has thought about it all night, rembered the servant that had been accidentally killed, and had been enlightened. If this junior wants to go through the path of cultivation, then this junior must leave behind these complicated matters.

But if you and Qin Shi ng beco Dao Companions, the two of you could help each other beco immortals, and that should be more efficient, Third Elder Ye said.

Ye Yong didnt intend to argue with them too much, so he just lowered his head, put his hands in front, and bowed. Elders, please agree to this juniors request.

The elders communicated with their eyes for a mont, and seeing that Lin Wei hadnt said anything yet, they decided to stay silent and not jump to a decision.

Yong Er, Lin Wei said, gazing at Ye Yong and speaking slowly. Did soone threaten you?

Lin Wei didnt think that for no reason. Ye Yong had loved Qin Shi ng to death just the previous day, and yet, today, he said that he wanted to cancel the engagent. Ruling out the possibility that his soul had been controlled, then there was only the possibility of him being threatened.

Lin Wei didnt feel that anyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty could threaten ye Yong, but that was the only possibility that she could think of.

No one is threatening . I have just been enlightened, Ye Yong said, straightening his body and looking at Lin Wei.

Fuck, this mother is so beautiful.

Well, Ye Yong didnt have any strange thoughts about Lin Wei. In the novel, Lin Wei was an overprotective and doting parent. Because Long Tian had killed Ye Yong, all she wanted was to kill Long Tian to avenge Ye Yong, so much so that it caused the destruction of her family. She didnt give up even after being the only one left. She only stopped after she demonized and got killed by the other heroines.

Ye Yong felt that canceling the engagent would not only save himself but also his family and his beautiful 300-year-old mother.

If thats so, then you can cancel the engagent if you want, Yong Er. The Qin Family wouldnt dare to say anything. As expected of an overprotective and doting parent, Lin Wei didnt question ye Yong any further and agreed to his decision. I will write a letter to cancel the engagent and have it sent to the Qin Familys residence imdiately.

Let your child go. This matter was started by , so it should also be ended by , Ye Yong said. He was curious about what Qin Shi ng looked like because the author kept bragging about her. However, since there were only words, it was hard to imagine what she looked like. There was only a shadow in his heart that kept bothering him, so he didnt want to give up the chance of seeing her in real life.

Even though he had given up Qin Shi ngs route to protect his own life, it didnt an that he couldnt look at a beauty such as her.

Lin Wei and the elders were surprised but they also subsequently beca proud and relieved. Look at this child. Its as if he had beco a totally different person.

Cultivators indeed gained insight a lot, and the insights the cultivators gained sotis could change an entire person. Demonizing was also a kind of insight cultivators gained, but it belonged to the wrong category of insights for cultivators to gain. They could be a kind saint in the previous mont but a demon that slaughters people the next mont.

In short, everyone was satisfied with Ye Yongs changes. They didnt really care about the engagent. The Qin Family was weaker than the Ye Family, and besides, the cancelation of the engagent was a loss for the Qin Family. With Ye Yongs talents and conditions, there was no need for him to worry about whether or not he could find a Dao Companion. Besides, Ye Yong was the one who had requested the engagent in the first place, so naturally, it was his choice whether or not to keep it.
