Out and Out

"He went into the small shop."

"Could that master really be in this shop?"

"Don't be impatient, wait and see."

"Right, keep calm. Anyway, we'll keep a close eye on Ye Neng, that old fox, and the truth will come out sooner or later."

The four men exchanged glances and then quietly sneaked in.

As they entered, Ye Neng's eyes narrowed slightly. He glanced at the carefree Yi Feng.

"Sir must not think much of those four either."

"Since sir doesn't care, I won't take matters into my own hands."

With this thought, he sat down hugging the wine jug.

"Sir, the wine is here."

"Hmm, it seems pretty good."

Yi Feng said with a smile.

Hearing Yi Feng's praise, Ye Neng was extremely excited.

The group began to eat happily.

The simple meal was ordinary. They finished eating the small dishes and wine in half an hour.

"Mother, Brother Yi Feng is not only my fellow sect member, but also half my mentor." Wu said excitedly, "Because Brother Yi Feng taught me not only how to write and paint, but also how to sculpt!"

"Really?" Yun's Mother said with a smile, "Quick, show me what you've written and painted!"

"Okay, let me find them."

Wu said happily and began rummaging through her bag.

Hearing the mother and daughter's conversation, Ye Neng nudged Ye Yi.

"I said this young lady is talented in both martial arts and art, how could she be so close with Sir? Turns out she has gained Sir's favor."

"Remember, we must get in this young lady's good graces."

Ye Neng instructed in a low voice.

"Understood." Ye Yi nodded solemnly, with great envy in her eyes. But she still asked in a low voice, "But this young lady doesn't seem special at all, her talent also appears very ordinary. Why would she gain Sir's favor?"

"Shh."

"Don't say that. You must understand, anyone who gains Sir's favor must have their reasons. We must not make rash guesses. Since this young lady quite likes you, get to know her better."

Ye Neng gave solemn instructions.

"I understand, father."

Ye Yi quickly closed her mouth.

After some rummaging, Wu placed a sculpture and a painting on the table.

"Look, mother, this is the sculpture I carved and the painting I painted under Brother Yi Feng's guidance." Wu said excitedly.

Hearing this, Yun's Mother and Ye Neng father and daughter quickly glanced over.

"Ah!"

The unseen sculpture and painting made Ye Neng father and daughter jump in fright.

"The power of the Great Dao! This painting actually contains the power of the Great Dao!"

Ye Neng stared wide-eyed, trembling all over, and sent an astonished voice transmission to Ye Yi.

"And that sculpture, I can sense the immense pressure and pure power within it. If that power was unleashed, it's unimaginable what mighty abilities it would have!"

"Truly unimaginable. For such peerless treasures to come from a third-realm martial artist girl."

"She really lives up to being senior's disciple."

Ye Yi also had a face full of shock and disbelief.

However, Yun's Mother did not sense the power within the painting and sculpture. She just felt they were beautifully made and lifelike. As she examined them, she couldn't stop smiling.

"Wonderful, truly wonderful! My daughter is so talented!" Yun's Mother said proudly.

"Hehe, it's all thanks to Brother Yi Feng's teachings!" Wu said with a grin.

"Young Master Yi, I really must thank you."

Yun's Mother stood up and said politely.

"Auntie, you're too kind. It's all because Wu is so talented. I only gave a couple pointers." Yi Feng stood up to support Yun's Mother and said humbly.

"Mother, I'll give this sculpture and painting to you. When you miss me, you can look at my painting and sculpture." Wu then said.

"Of course, of course!"

"I'll frame this painting and hang it on the wall. And display the sculpture prominently for everyone to appreciate my talented daughter's handiwork!"

Yun's Mother was extremely proud of her daughter's skill and put away the painting and sculpture.

After some simple pleasantries, it was finally time to leave.

Ye Neng was the first to step out of the shop.

At this moment, the four Lords who had been napping outside were jolted alert.

"He's out!"

The four were instantly on high alert.
