Rebirth of the Cultivation Devil

Hearing Ye Gang's question, Ye Qingfeng smiled faintly but didn't respond directly.

The reason he disguised himself was to avoid revealing his identity, which would cause a lot of trouble when he came to Yanjing to study and interrupt his plans.

"Acting? What kind of acting?"

Liu Mei was utterly confused, not knowing what these father and son were plotting.

"By the way, Xiao Feng, aren't you studying now?"

She suddenly remembered this question.

"Don't worry, Aunt Liu. You told me to study hard, how could I dare to forget? I'm already pre-enrolled at Yanjing University!"

Ye Qingfeng explained.

With Ye Qingfeng's Patrol Envoy status, quitting Qian Nan Academy and entering Yanjing University was a breeze, wasn't it?

"Ah?" Liu Mei couldn't believe it, "Really? Don't lie to Aunt Liu!"

Ye Qingfeng shook his head, "I wouldn't dare lie to you. It's true."

Liu Mei didn't doubt him, her eyes squinting into crescent moons.

Ye Gang shook his head with a wry smile, "Xiao Feng has grown up! He reminds me of Brother Yan back in the day."

This comment was layered, but Liu Mei couldn't perceive it.

After some casual chatting, Liu Mei suddenly said: "Xiao Feng, pack some things and come with Aunt Liu to visit our hometown. It's been a while since I went back! Last time you went home, I shared this good news with the two elders, and they were so happy they asked me to bring you to see them as soon as possible!"

"The two elders!"

Ye Qingfeng's eyes reddened slightly.

Back then, the entire Ye Family opposed his father and mother's marriage.

They believed Qin Xin, his mother, from whatever angle, wasn't worthy of the Ye Family's prodigy, Ye Qingfeng's father, Ye Yan.

Yet, his father married his mother against all odds.

Although the matter is now settled.

It remained a sore spot for the Ye Family.

Especially for the Ye Family elders, including Ye Yan's and Ye Gang's fathers.

These two family patriarchs always treated Ye Yan and Qin Xin with cold indifference.

After Ye Qingfeng was born, he received no care from the elders.

Especially in those early years, his dissolute nature earned the scorn and ridicule of the Ye family members.

Yet, the families of Ye Yan and Ye Gang were as close as brothers.

Aunt Liu and Qin Xin also shared a close relationship.

Therefore, throughout his life, the only elder's affection Ye Qingfeng received.

Was from Aunt Liu's parents, who treated him far better than his grandparents from the Qin Family in Mingzhu City.

Thus, Ye Qingfeng regarded these two elders as his closest kin, considering them his grandparents.

Since childhood, he called them grandpa and grandma.

She sighed, "You mischievous child, the two elders have been worried about you for so many years!"

Mentioning his grandparents, Ye Qingfeng's face unexpectedly stiffened against any foes and adversities.

"Grandpa, Grandma?"

He murmured softly and suddenly slapped his own face without holding back, leaving a bright red handprint on his handsome face.

"What are you doing, child?"

Liu Mei was startled and hurriedly grabbed Ye Qingfeng's raised hand.

Ye Qingfeng looked ashamed, shaking his head gently, "I'm truly unfilial!"

Ignoring Liu Mei's intervention, he raised his left hand and struck his face again, causing his cheeks to flush red.

Liu Mei thought Ye Qingfeng must have been provoked somehow, quickly grabbing both his hands and asking repeatedly, but Ye Qingfeng didn't listen.

Ye Qingfeng felt ashamed, or perhaps overwhelmingly humiliated.

To make the Ye Family acknowledge his mother, Ye Qingfeng persistently pursued martial arts and improving his abilities.

Returning to the Mortal World, he only focused on achieving his business plans, competing with martial arts masters, and avenging his parents, completely neglecting the grandparents who raised him hand in hand during childhood.

Growing up in the Ye Family, he faced constant disdain and bullying.

However, the two elders indulged his every whim.

As a child, he didn't drink formula but had rice gruel painstakingly brewed by the elders daily. Unable to chew apples without teeth, the elders fed him with spoon-scraped apple flesh.

To him, the two elders were most beloved, closer even than his own parents, yet he forgot about those whose grace was as profound as a mountain, an unforgivable sin.

He lifted his head, revealing a smile.

"Aunt Liu, let's go visit grandpa and grandma now. I miss them dearly!"

Liu Mei, worried about another outburst from Ye Qingfeng, hurriedly went upstairs to pack.

As they were about to leave, Liu Mei noticed Ye Gang showing no intention of going along, finding it strange.

Ye Gang smiled, "Honey, I won't go this time. Let Xiao Feng accompany you, with him there, I'm assured!"

Liu Mei didn't understand when Ye Gang started trusting Ye Qingfeng so much.

"Let's go, Aunt Liu!"

Ye Qingfeng nodded at Ye Gang and pulled Liu Mei with him.

An hour later, they boarded a plane bound for Northern Base Jinling.

Jinling City, Fenglin District.

This was where Ye Qingfeng played during his childhood, and seeing the vaguely familiar layout, he felt nostalgic.

After getting off the plane, he and Aunt Liu took a taxi directly here, arriving at Building 2, Unit 1, on the seventh floor, gently knocking on the door.

Ye Qingfeng felt a surge of emotion, thinking of finally seeing the two elders after all these years. He wondered what they looked like now, stirring his heart.

They rang the doorbell for a while, but no one answered.

"Strange?" Liu Mei puzzled, "At this time, your grandparents should be home, could they have gone out?"

Ye Qingfeng sensed slightly and then said, "Nobody's home; they probably went out!"

Just then, a neighbor's door suddenly opened, revealing an old woman.

Upon seeing Liu Mei, the old woman immediately smiled, "Isn't this Xiao Mei, back to her parents' home?"

"Mrs. Wang, it's great to see you in good health!" Liu Mei greeted the old lady politely, recognizing her.

"By the way, Mrs. Wang, do you know where my parents went?"

After exchanging pleasantries, Liu Mei suddenly inquired.

That's when Mrs. Wang's expression changed, slapping her forehead, "Oh dear, I forgot about this!"

"Sister Du had a stomachache yesterday and was taken to the hospital; I heard it's a stomach stone, and they're preparing for surgery. Your father has been accompanying her at the hospital these days."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mei gasped, and Ye Qingfeng's gaze sharpened.

The Sister Du Mrs. Wang mentioned was his grandma.

Liu Mei hastily asked which hospital from Mrs. Wang and then rushed there with Ye Qingfeng by taxi.

Upon reaching the hospital, after some inquiries, they finally determined the ward where Ye Qingfeng's grandma, Du Guizhen, was staying.

Before even entering the ward, they heard a mocking voice from inside.
