Ye Tian sneered, "Ye Gui, do you think everyone else is as brainless as you?"
Ye Gui roared, "Who are you calling brainless?"
Ye Tian said indifferently, "One million. If you're willing to sell, I'll pay; if not, forget it."
His uncle immediately said, "Deal, one million, and the ancestral home is yours!"
Ye Tian, too lazy to waste words with this father and son pair, replied, "Good. I'll bring the contract this afternoon. Once signed, the million will be yours."
Thinking of getting a million, his uncle's mood improved greatly. He uncharacteristically took out a cigarette and offered it to Ye Tian.
Ye Tian said faintly, "I don't smoke."
His uncle lit his own cigarette and asked with a smile, "Xiao Tian, why do you want to buy the old house?"
Old foxes are cunning, and old horses are slick. Ye Tian's easy offer of a million immediately made his uncle suspicious, so he came to inquire.
Ye Tian replied, "The ancestral house is where Grandpa lived. I want to tidy it up and come to offer incense to Grandpa during festivals."
Ye Gui, being quicker with his words, said, "Dad, no need to ask. I've already inquired. This rundown place of ours won't be demolished. Besides, if we take a million, we can buy two more houses."
His uncle glared at his son and said, "Xiao Tian. Grandpa always doted on you the most. When he passed away, you were by his side. Did he leave you anything good?"
This had always been his uncle's unresolved issue; he always felt his father had given the good stuff to Ye Tian.
Ye Tian looked coldly at his uncle and said, "Grandpa was a farmer. Even if he had some money, you would have taken it all by now. Do you think he could have left me anything?"
His uncle's face darkened, "Xiao Tian, what are you saying? What do you mean by 'I would have taken it all'?"
Ye Tian turned his face away, unwilling to deal with the father and son. Both felt bored and left after a short while.
After cleaning for a while longer, Ye Tian went to the main hall, offered three sticks of incense to his grandfather, kowtowed a few times, and murmured, "Grandpa, Xiao Tian misses you very much."
He paused, then continued, "The jade pendant Grandpa left me contains the inheritance from our Ye clan ancestors. I've learned it all."
After bowing a few more times, he turned and entered the study. The study contained some old desks, chairs, and bookshelves. He always felt the bookshelf was placed awkwardly, so he moved it to another wall.
The bookshelf was made of solid wood and was very heavy. If not for his immense strength, he wouldn't have been able to move it.
As soon as he moved the bookshelf, Lin Ziyi suddenly exclaimed, "Tian Ge, there's a wooden board on the wall."
Ye Tian came over and saw a square wooden board on the wall. He pressed it, and the board sprang open, revealing a square hole.
Inside the hole was a wooden box. He opened the box and found a handwritten ancient book. He opened the book; the pages were already yellowed, and he had to flip through them carefully.
The text was ancient script from the pre-Qin period. Ye Tian, having received the jade pendant, could recognize it all.
The book stated that the ancestors of the Ye clan were originally immortals who were later banished to the mortal world. They married mortal women, had children, and thus gave rise to the Ye lineage.
A year after their marriage, the Ye ancestor fell gravely ill, his body festering, and he eventually died. His wife raised their son and never remarried, becoming the second ancestor of the Ye clan. Su Dan Novel Network.
The book also contained the Ye clan genealogy, and with him, it was the one hundred and eighty-ninth generation!
He murmured, "Our ancestor was actually an immortal?"
Although Ye Tian had also learned medical skills and martial arts, he was still very excited upon reading this record.
He carefully read the text on the pages. Lin Ziyi did not disturb him. As he reached the last few pages, he found a slip of paper with a few lines of small writing, which looked like his grandfather's handwriting.
"The ancestor left a chest of treasures hidden in the old well in the courtyard. Grandson Ye Tian, if you can see this message, you may go search for it."
Ye Tian's eyes lit up. Treasure in the old well?
