Beginning Under Sycamore Tree Chapter 5

Only super-class families, or the top few among first-class families, have special children who rely on blood inheritance and possess super-natural qualifications. Once these children are discovered, they will be trained by the family with heavy money, and many are even directly designated as heirs of the family.

However, in a ninth-rank family like the Qinan Ye family, the appearance of a child with natural talent is worth celebrating. Ninth-rank families are naturally much better than the so-called "upstarts" of local gentry with only a few hundred years of history, but in this respect, they cannot be compared with upper-rank families.

For example, Leonard Ye, who is known as the genius of the Ye family, is only of the fourth rank of heaven. Qualifications of the first to third rank of heaven are the real top-class. Unfortunately, in a ninth-rank family like the Qinnan Ye family, there may not be one like that in hundreds of years. WilLiam Ye back then was only of the seventh rank of heaven.

The physiques of people in this world are quite abnormal, and there are completely unscientific existences such as warriors and Qi Refiners. Even civilians or even untouchables are well aware of how powerful warriors and Qi Refiners are. But only the aristocratic families know that the strongest people in the eyes of the world, the ninth-level warriors and ninth-level Qi Refiners, are actually not the top forces. In this world, there are only a handful of people who have broken through to the ninth level!

Only those with top-notch qualifications have a one in a thousand chance of being promoted. In the entire Great Yin Empire, the number of ninth-level warriors who were promoted to saints would not exceed twenty. Therefore, Liam Ye should feel very honored. In his previous life, in order to kill him, a ninth-level warrior, it actually took eight saints to kill him. It can be seen how anxious the people behind these saints are.

Everyone knew that once Liam Ye became a saint, they would never have the chance to kill him again.

His talent is so terrifying and the gods are so kind to him that he lacks almost everything: aptitude, understanding, brains, and even looks.

However, few people know the real Liam Ye. To him, these---

They are all plug-ins...that's all.

The real him was actually very frightened. He thought he was a normal person, but he was surrounded by a group of perverts. How good could this feeling be? As a good young man of the new era who grew up under the red flag, his three views were gradually crushed and distorted in those twenty years. Then, the five-year-old Liam Ye smiled slightly, a little shy, and looked more delicate and feminine.

Grace Ye hurried, even his breathing became a little hurried and disordered, "Wu Ying?"

Ah, what a kind and gentle call.

The old man who led the way came along too. When he saw Liam Ye, he burst into laughter. "My vision is really good. You stand out among all these kids!"

Liam Ye almost couldn't help rolling his eyes. If that was the case, it would be fine if it simply drew hatred for him, but it was also too much to say that he stood out from the crowd, okay? Before, among this group of children, he was not the only one who was particularly pretty, and there was nothing else that attracted attention. It can be said that the children of the Ye family are generally good-looking, and because of the education they received since childhood, even at the age of five, they already have a bit of the charm of a noble family.

Coming with them was an elder from the Ye family who was on duty here today. He was Liam Ye's great uncle, and his blood relationship was even closer than that of the old man in charge of the dungeon. He and Liam Ye's grandfather were brothers from the same mother. Of course, they also had a common brother, who was the current head of the Ye family, Leonard Ye.

In their generation, there were four brothers and sisters from the same mother. Ye Shenyan was ranked fourth and was the most taciturn among the four. The second sister, Amelia Ye, was married into the family and had the best relationship with Leonard Ye. Liam Ye's grandfather was ranked third, but he had no sense of existence among the four siblings. Leonard Ye was known as the genius of the Ye family and was trained early on. The second oldest, Amelia Ye, was a beauty and was also a Qi-refining practitioner of the ninth rank of the heavens. He even had a legitimate son from an eighth rank family marry into the family. The fourth oldest, Ye Shenyan, was of the sixth rank of the heavens. He was already a seventh-level warrior when he was just over fifty years old and became one of the elders of the Ye family early on.

Only the third brother, Ye Shenzhi, has mediocre qualifications, mediocre looks, and mediocre abilities. His only advantage is probably that he is gentle and honest and never causes trouble. If he didn't have his brother Leonard Ye, he might not even be able to keep his rich life. So now he is not in Qinan Town, but in the suburban manor under the name of the Ye family, managing two unimportant properties and holding the position of a ninth-level minor official.

Ye Shenyan gently patted Liam Ye's shoulder, "You... are very good."

So, Liam Ye smiled shyly, and was not as happy and proud as before.

It's just a plug-in, what's the big deal? Having a plug-in doesn't make you invincible. You will still be turned into a piece of trash by those perverts.

Having a child of the first-class grade was of course a very good thing for the entire Ye family. This news spread throughout the Ye family almost immediately.

When WilLiam Ye, the ancestor of the Ye family, saw the news, his two white eyebrows twisted into a ball, "Alas... It's worthy of the bloodline of Hei Yin Zhao and Qi Shang... Such qualifications---well, I still have to send a message." His attitude was obviously much more cautious.

Liam Ye was five years old when he was sent to the Ye family. WilLiam Ye spent a lot of effort to give Liam Ye a perfect identity as a legitimate son. No matter who checked, Liam Ye was the child of Ye Qiyu's wife, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, a noble family in Qinnan. Zhang divorced Ye Qiyu early and remarried before dying of illness. Even the Zhang family believed it and treated Liam Ye very kindly. Even Leonard Ye was not clear about his true life experience.

In this world, aptitude and bloodline are inextricably linked. Men and women with high aptitude will have a higher probability of having children with high aptitude. Although there are commoners whose parents have low aptitude but their children have high aptitude, the probability is too small. Therefore, aristocratic families attach so much importance to bloodline inheritance. This world is very particular about matching people of equal status. It not only means having similar family backgrounds but also similar aptitudes. Of course, if you want to marry, you can naturally marry a lower-ranking one. If you want to marry a son-in-law, the one you marry will probably be of a lower-ranking one. Like Amelia Ye, who relied on her own free love with her husband and ended up luring a man with better aptitude than herself back to her home, that was purely her ability.

It is precisely because of this that WilLiam Ye had such an exclamation. The bloodline of the Black Yin Zhao family is so powerful that it is the sky of the Great Yin Empire, and Ye Qishang is the only genius in the Ye family in hundreds of years. Even if their child is of the first rank, WilLiam Ye is not too surprised.

He was not surprised, but that didn't mean others were as calm. Even Leonard Ye couldn't remain calm this time.

Tianyipin!

How many years has it been since the Ye family had a child with such good qualifications? Although Qi Shang had outstanding qualifications, as long as she became a witch, she would have to cut off contact with the family. Leonard Ye naturally would not count her as one of them. For hundreds of years, the Ye family had never had a child with such good qualifications. When he heard the news, he was so happy that his hands trembled slightly.

Among his grandchildren, there are also children with good qualifications, such as Chloe Ye and Ye Wuyun who have already gone to the official school, but there is no top-notch one. In the past two years, there is only one person with excellent qualifications, which is his own grandson Mason Ye, a first-grade Qi Refiner. The qualifications of the rest are mostly between the fourth and ninth grades of the earth. Although they are not particularly bad, they are not much better. As a result, Liam Ye gave him such a big surprise!

"Go, call the third brother back for me. Tomorrow, my Ye family will host a big banquet for the guests!"

"yes."

There are happy people, and naturally there are unhappy people.

"The grandson of the third brother?"

"Yes, it is said that he is the eldest son of the deceased second son of the Seventeenth Master, Master Liam Ye."

The woman lazily applied crimson makeup, her long eyelashes trembling, "What are Wu Xie's qualifications?"

"Master Noah Ye's qualifications are quite good, he is a third-grade earth rank."

The woman sneered, "Really? There is a huge difference between me and the first rank of heaven! I am the ninth rank of heaven, and his grandfather is the seventh rank of heaven. But these children are so disappointing. It must be that their mother has dragged down my Zheng'er's bloodline!"

She was none other than Amelia Ye, the son of her eldest son Ye Qizheng, who also had the qualifications to take the test today.

"Forget it, the third brother is one of our own after all. Why should I be angry? If anyone should be angry, it should be my cousins," she said, and couldn't help laughing softly, "Well, this way, eldest brother's position as the head of the family will naturally be more stable... Tian Yipin, even my heart is pounding. We are all direct descendants, but people are different. God can clearly see the high and low. Those people must be so angry that they are about to jump up hahahaha..."

No family can be a monolithic entity.

Just as Amelia Ye said, many people in the Ye family were very angry today, but this had no effect on Liam Ye.

He and the other children still walked away along the long stone steps. When they came, the children were a little nervous, and they were too nervous to speak. When they left, many of them seemed much more relaxed and started chatting with each other.

To be honest, Liam Ye was not familiar with these little brats at all. Well, her relationship with them when they grew up was even worse. But she had no interest in bullying a group of little kids at the moment. So, under their deliberate isolation, Liam Ye felt very comfortable. Of course, almost all of them were secretly looking at Liam Ye.

But it’s not like there aren’t some exceptionally smart kids, or maybe they’re just particularly proud?

"Cousin Liam Ye, are you ready for tomorrow's class?"

Although the boy in front of him was very childish, he had clear eyes and a gentle smile. His appearance was not much inferior to Liam Ye's, which made him very recognizable.

Noah Ye, the favorite grandson of his great-aunt who was a legendary figure in the Ye family. The reason... According to her, Noah Ye was the best-looking among her grandchildren...

Liam Ye just wanted to say that history had repeated itself once again.

"Thank you for your concern, cousin. How could I not be prepared for the homework assigned by Teacher Grace Ye?" Liam Ye smiled, and then saw Noah Ye stunned for a moment.

That's right, although it was Grace Ye who assigned the homework, from yesterday to today, all the children were nervous about the qualification test. Grace Ye assigned a lot of homework, and they were all planning to go home and study late into the night, but they didn't expect that the cousin in front of them, who looked very quiet, had already finished it early.

Unlike Liam Ye who had lost her parents and whose grandfather had no status, Noah Ye was one of the prominent figures among the children in the Ye family. Although he was young, he had a grandmother who was tough and protective and held considerable power in the Ye family. He also had an older sister who was already a leader among this generation of children. Chloe Ye, who was already studying in the official school, was fourteen years old and had a seventh-grade qualification, the same as her grandfather. Moreover, Chloe Ye was intelligent and quick-witted, and had a good appearance and demeanor. Even Leonard Ye's eldest grandson Ye Wuyun was very impressed by her. Therefore, when Noah Ye just entered school, he felt like a fish in water. Almost every child knew to listen to their parents and not to offend people they could not afford to offend.

Noah Ye was originally one of the people they couldn't afford to offend.

Only he dared to ignore the other children's unanimous intention to isolate Liam Ye and took the initiative to talk to Liam Ye.

He seemed gentle and calm, but Liam Ye was even gentler and calmer than him. Noah Ye's face was reflected in her beautiful eyes. Noah Ye looked at this cousin who had never spoken to him before. He felt that his eyes were full of waves. He was obviously an extremely handsome man, and he was smiling. His smile was particularly soft and sweet, but it made him shiver inexplicably.

Children's intuition is actually quite strong.

Liam Ye's tone of voice was very gentle, and his expression was as gentle as water. However, no one knew that in his heart, he had a cold and sharp murderous intention towards Noah Ye.

He didn't like many people in the Ye family. Here, he suffered so much maliciousness that it was not easy for him to remember all his enemies. For example, people like Mason Ye and even Ye WEthan who used and betrayed him, Liam Ye could face them calmly now. Only Chloe Ye and Noah Ye, the brother and sister, really evoked very bad memories in him.

The door of the small building was respectfully pushed open by the servants, and the autumn sunshine fell on Liam Ye's body, warm and with the fresh fragrance of flowers and plants.

Liam Ye raised her head and saw Emma standing quietly at the other end of the bamboo forest.

At least now, she is still alive.
