Chapter 4: Master and Disciple

"Master." Ye Yang greeted with a sunny smile. If Hai Wang rates him, his charm would be around 80, which could be called slightly handsome. Aside from being handsome, he also has this aura that set him apart from others, obviously the protagonist's aura.

Ye Tianyu was very satisfied with this disciple. He was good at martial arts and he also absorbed his own understanding of medicine really quickly. He really did pick up treasure back then.

He looked at his beloved disciple and said: "Ye Yang, you have learned everything I could teach you. It's time for you to embark on your own journey."

Ye Yang's face immediately bloomed. He quickly asked, "Master, are you finally allowing me to go down the mountain?"

"Hmm, you can go down the mountain. You should go to Lin Family in Hangzhou. I have set up a marriage for you there."

Ye Yang showed a hesitant face. Marriage is a very important thing. His master arranged a marriage for him, what to do if she turned out to be ugly?

Ye Tianyu saw through his disciple's dilemma. He coughed and spoke further, "Don't worry, when I saw her as a child, I could tell that she has good genes. I have come to know that she is very beautiful nowadays, you will be satisfied."

Hearing this, Ye Yang's expression underwent a complete turnaround. He looked at Ye Tianyu and said emotionally, "Master, you are so good to me."

"Haha!" Ye Tianyi laughed and patted his shoulders. "If I won't be good to you, then who will I be good at? You useless younger—"

"Ahem, cough, cough." Suddenly Ye Yang interrupted with a series of coughs, his eyes gesturing toward Hai Wang.

Ye Tianyu suddenly remembered that his other disciple was also here!

"In any case, you can leave today." But as if nothing happened, he continued.

"Alright, master." Ye Yang nodded vigorously.

"Master, you told me you will teach me martial arts but we haven't even started yet. If I do down the mountain like this, won't my grandfather blame me?"

Seeing this dog master and disciple, Hai Wang was sick to his stomach and he couldn't help but speak up. As for the previous insult, he has added +1 to the reason why he must make these duo suffer later on.

He wasn't going to tear faces with Ye Tianyu but he could likewise make him sick, right?

As expected, after hearing this Ye Tianyu's face went dark. Even Ye Yang frowned. Before Ye Tianyu spoke, the disciple came forward.

"Junior brother, what do you mean? You mean to say that master is incompetent and didn't teach you anything in the past two years and that you have wasted time here?" Ye Yang looked at Hai Wang condescendingly.

For this junior brother, Ye Yang had no good impression. Just his impeccably handsome face made him grit his teeth in anger. Obviously, he is so talentless that even his master didn't teach him anything, why then is he blessed with such a handsome face?

Hearing the word incompetent, Ye Tianyu's old face twitched a bit.

"Oh, no no, senior brother, what are you saying?" Hai Wang smiled. "Even if you are guessing what I mean, you shouldn't slander master."

"Humph, where am I slandering master? It's obviously you!" Ye Yang said coldly when he saw his master glancing at him from the corner of his eyes.

Hai Wang looked at him faintly and ignored him. Focusing on Ye Tianyu, he said pitifully: "Master, you couldn't bear to see your disciple being reprimanded unjustly by his grandfather, can you?"

"You!" Ye Yang was angry seeing Hai Wang ignoring him.

Ye Tianyu couldn't help but take a deep look at Hai Wang as if getting reacquainted with him. He stretched out his hand and took out a book.

"This book can help you identify some important herbs. Your foundation is lacking to practice any martial arts, first find ten batches of everything present in this book and pass it to me. I'll make a potion for you. After that, you can learn martial arts."

Hai Wang has to praise this old bastard after hearing this. Since he knew that Hai Wang wouldn't back down today, he said that his foundation is weak so he first needs to get ten batches of important herbs in order to make a potion. Ten batches of herbs for one potion? Isn't he simply treating him like a cash cow?

Even after he really gave this old bastard these herbs, he's afraid the only potions he will be getting would be made of weeds.

He solved his problem, made him grateful for looking out for him in the greater picture, and even earned tons of herbs free of charge. What strategy!

In fact, he knows that Ye Tianyu has a potion right now. How couldn't he have it? Who is he? A medical saint! Hai Wang has seen with his own eyes in the past when he fed these special potions to Ye Yang. Does Ye Tianyu think he forgot? Is the old man finally getting senile?

"Thank you, master. I'll try my best to collect these herbs to the best of my abilities!" While thinking of this, he accepted the book with a smile.

Ye Tinayu nodded. As expected, although he has suddenly grown guts, he is still a fool who is easily deceived. Ye Yang's anger also calmed down at the moment as he secretly looked at Hai Wang like a fool. He's afraid that his younger brother doesn't even know that he is being used. This only made his contempt for him deeper.

Hai Wang didn't speak further. A little bit is fine but if he talked back too much, then it won't be beneficial to him. This is time for him to stay low. If these dogs didn't annoy him earlier, he wouldn't have bothered speaking.

After the matter was finished, Hai Wang left first. Ye Tinayu looked at his back for a few seconds before shaking his head, concluding that he was thinking too much. He had suspected that Hai Wang was a deep-minded person, but when he readily agreed to collect herbs for him, his suspicions disappeared.

Ye Tianyu looked at his disciple Ye Yang instead, and couldn't help but grow a bit nostalgic.

"Master, junior brother is getting a bit arrogant, can I teach him a lesson later?" Ye Yang asked. He doesn't why know but he always wants to beat Hai Wang.

But as his senior brother, isn't this his job to correct his younger brother? He felt that he was being reasonable.

Ye Tianyu shook his head and spoke solemnly, "Yang, although this Hai Wang is a fool, his background is very big. If possible, try to make him submit to you in a non-violent way."

"He has big background?" Ye Yang was taken aback. He only felt that Hai Wang was slightly rich, but since his master said the words 'big background', his background wouldn't be small.

Thinking of this, Ye Yang was internally annoyed. Not only is he more handsome than him but he also has massive background? Why does he have everything? Compared to him, he, Ye Yang, is almost miserable!

"I have favors of many influential people. If you encounter something you couldn't solve, try to rely on Lin and Hai Family first. Only if it doesn't work out then call me, alright?" Ye Tianyu advised solemnly.

Although he had favors from many influential people, once the favor is used, it is gone for good. Nobody is going to help him over and over again, especially those big shots.

"Hmm, I understand master. Only when I get a strong foothold in Hangzhou, I'll come back!" Ye Yang patted his chest and vowed.

"Alright, you go now. Remember, try to take Hai Wang under your umbrella if you can."

"Okay, master." Ye Yang replied simply but inwardly, he was a bit piqued. Hearing his master repeatedly mentioning Hai Wang, he felt that his master was paying attention to that guy unnecessarily, giving him too much attention. It was a slightly uncomfortable feeling.
