Chapter 82: A Sister Ye Falls from the Sky
"Yes."
"Where is he? Take me to see him."
"You want to see our Boss Ye?"
"Yeah."
"Come on, you don't stand a chance against him. Boss Ye is the strongest among us. You won't last more than ten seconds in his hands."
"You misunderstood. I'm not here to challenge him. He might be my relative, and this is very important to me."
Ye Lingling from the Royal Fighting Team looked at Ma Hongjun with a worried expression. As a descendant of the Nine Hearts Begonia family, she knew that the Nine Hearts Mysterious Begonia was a rare mutation of the Nine Hearts Begonia. When this mutation occurred, the spirit's abilities would shift from pure healing to a more diverse and unpredictable skill set.
To possess the Nine Hearts Mysterious Begonia, one must be of the Nine Hearts Begonia bloodline. If someone outside the clan had it, that meant something had happened. Ye Lingling had a strong feeling that this "Boss Ye" Ma Hongjun mentioned might be her long-lost cousin.
"Alright, follow me."
Ma Hongjun led Ye Lingling outside and stopped in front of Ye Feng and Xiao Wu. He pointed at Ye Feng and introduced him. "This is our Boss Ye."
Ye Lingling examined Ye Feng carefully, her eyes finally landing on the jade bracelet on his left wrist. She hesitated before looking up at him in shock. "You… you really might be my cousin."
"Cousin?"
"Cousin?"
Ye Feng and Xiao Wu both looked stunned. Xiao Wu reacted first, turning to Ma Hongjun with a frown. "Fatty, who the hell is this girl? Why is she calling my brother her cousin?"
"She's from the Royal Fighting Team. Her name is… uh…" Ma Hongjun scratched his head, realizing he had forgotten her name. "Well, she can introduce herself!"
Ye Lingling stepped forward, her gaze lingering on Ye Feng. He wasn't as handsome as Oscar, but his appearance was undeniably striking. She hesitated for a moment before speaking. "My name is Ye Lingling. I come from the Nine Hearts Begonia family. That jade bracelet on your wrist… it was my aunt's. May I ask, what is your relationship with the original owner of that bracelet?"
"Your aunt? You're saying my mother was your aunt?" Ye Feng looked at her in disbelief.
"So you really are my cousin." Ye Lingling raised her own left wrist, revealing an identical jade bracelet.
"The same jade bracelet."
"The same jade bracelet."
Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu both gasped. The bracelet on Ye Lingling's wrist was an exact match to Ye Feng's.
Ye Lingling explained in a serious tone, "The Phoenix Bracelet is a top-tier storage spirit tool. The space inside is massive, and it's extremely valuable. There is only one pair in the entire continent, and it has always belonged to our Nine Hearts Begonia family. When my aunt was born, my grandfather gave her one of the bracelets. When I was born, my father gave me the other. These bracelets are a set. The golden lines on them aren't just decorative—they're made from a rare meteorite from outer space. If the two bracelets are placed together, they attract each other. You have to use force to separate them."
To confirm her words, Ye Lingling extended her wrist toward Ye Feng. He understood and lightly touched his bracelet against hers.
The moment the two bracelets met, a strange force pulled them together, making them stick. Ye Feng had to use some strength to pull them apart.
"The bracelet is real… You really are my cousin," Ye Lingling said excitedly, looking at him with undisguised joy.
"Cousin!"
Overcome with emotion, she instinctively stepped forward, wanting to hug Ye Feng. But before she could, Ye Feng had already moved back, avoiding her.
"Cousin?" Ye Lingling frowned, catching a glimpse of something cold in Ye Feng's eyes.
"How did my parents die?" Ye Feng asked, his voice serious.
"You're saying my aunt and uncle are dead?" Ye Lingling stared at him in shock.
Ye Feng watched her reaction carefully. She didn't seem to be faking it—she really didn't know what had happened to his parents. But still, he pressed further. "You really don't know?"
Even though Ye Feng's soul had come from another world, he had lived in this body since infancy. His past life was nothing more than a distant memory.
For as long as he could remember, he had been an orphan. The revelation that he was from the Nine Hearts Begonia family—a clan with such a unique bloodline—shook him to the core. The Nine Hearts Begonia clan had a strange phenomenon: only two people could possess the Nine Hearts Begonia spirit at the same time. A new spirit master with the Nine Hearts Begonia could only be born when one of the existing two died.
Throughout history, there had been many cases of internal killings within the clan, with people targeting each other to ensure a new Nine Hearts Begonia user could emerge.
And now, Ye Lingling was telling him that his mother was from the Nine Hearts Begonia family? It was too much of a coincidence. His mind immediately jumped to a terrifying possibility—had someone orchestrated his parents' deaths to ensure the birth of another Nine Hearts Begonia spirit master?
Of course, he hoped he was wrong.
From Ye Lingling's explanation, he learned that his mother's name was Ye Wan'er, and his father's name was Ye Aotian. Interestingly, even though his father shared the surname Ye, he wasn't a member of the Nine Hearts Begonia clan. He had always claimed to be an orphan with no family or sect.
According to Ye Lingling's father, Haitang Douluo, Ye Feng's parents had left on a trip over a decade ago and never returned. Despite extensive efforts to track them down, there were no leads—except for one detail. The last time they were seen, they had been with someone.
"You're saying the last time my parents were seen was when they left with someone?" Ye Feng's gaze was piercing. This was the only clue he had about his parents' mysterious disappearance.
"That's what my father discovered," Ye Lingling confirmed. "The man they left with was wearing a black cloak. The innkeeper who saw them said he never got a clear look at his face. But my father believes he must have been someone my aunt and uncle knew personally.
"My aunt's spirit was the Nine Hearts Begonia, a pure healing-type spirit, and she had reached the Spirit Douluo level. Brother, you should know that healing spirit masters are always needed, even by the most powerful forces. In general, no one would target our Nine Hearts Begonia family. Even Spirit Hall wouldn't make an enemy of us without reason."
Ye Lingling told him everything she knew, sparing no detail.
