The next morning, Ye Feng woke up early. He did not wake up from sleep, but from hunger. He had not eaten for a whole day, and he did not even have a sip of porridge. One could imagine how hungry he was.

However, he did not see Hua Ling's figure on the bed beside him. He touched his blanket, and it was cold.

"Hua Ling?"

Just as he was worried, the worn-out door was pushed open, revealing Hua Ling's thin figure. "Mmm … Brother, you're up …"

Ye Feng was startled. He saw that Hua Ling's clothes were stained with a lot of dew, and her originally lively eyes were also a little bloodshot. She looked exhausted.

Looking at the large bundle of wild vegetables in Hua Ling's arms, how could Ye Feng not see that Hua Ling had woken up very early in the morning and went out to pick these wild vegetables in the wilderness at dawn.

She did not have enough food to eat, and she did not have enough clothes to wear. She even had to pick wild vegetables early in the morning to feed the two of them.

His ex-wife was really trash.

Seeing Ye Feng's guilty look, Hua Ling smiled and said, "Brother, you should sleep a little longer. I picked quite a few wild vegetables today, so we can have a big meal. You just awakened your Martial Vein, so you definitely need to be full to have the strength to cultivate."

As she spoke, Hua Ling began to work with her hands and feet.

Ye Feng's expression darkened. He did not know what to say. He looked at Hua Ling washing the wild vegetables over and over again, his eyes filled with joy and satisfaction. Perhaps his brother had awakened the Martial Vein, which gave her a little more hope in her heart.

Even if it was just one Martial Vein, it was enough to satisfy the little girl.

Ye Feng let out a heavy breath, and made up his mind. No matter what, he had to let Hua Ling live a good life.

"Hua Ling, wait at home. I'll go get the food!"

"Gather the food?" Hua Ling, who was busy, raised her head in surprise.

"There is a rule in the County that as long as one awakens the Martial Vein and becomes a Martial Cultivator, he or she will be rewarded with ten taels of silver and three Body Refining Pills. When my father was still alive, he had always followed the higher standard. This rule was set by the County to establish the country. Zhao Family Manor... does not dare to abolish it." Ye Feng replied in a deep voice.

Silver could be used to buy food, and Body Refining Pills were low-level Pills. They were used to help Martial Cultivators awaken the Martial Vein and condense inner strength faster. Of course, it could also help Martial Cultivators to quickly advance from the first level to the second level.

To the rich, this was nothing, but to Ye Feng and Hua Ling, it was very important.

"How could I lie to you?" Ye Feng pushed open the door.

"Then Ling Er will go with me." Hua Ling, who had a face full of hope, jumped up and down excitedly. She rushed forward and grabbed Ye Feng's hand. Looking at this face that was getting more and more stunning, Ye Feng was silent for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

To receive the Silver Pill, he had to find the Deacon, Zhao Tianle. Bringing the girl to see Zhao Tianle might not be a good thing, but Ye Feng could not say such dirty things in front of Hua Ling.

"..."

After passing through more than half of the Zhao Family Manor, numerous gazes fell on the two of them. Amongst these gazes, those that looked at Ye Feng were filled with contempt and ridicule, while those that looked at Hua Ling were filled with lust and lecherous thoughts.

They did not treat the two of them as humans at all.

"Zhao Huo, Zhao Yong, I remember you two. Very soon, I will trample all of you people who have bullied me under my feet." Ye Feng, who remained calm on the surface, and Hua Ling arrived at the valley.

On the high platform, the Zhao Family Manor’s Deacon, Zhao Tianle, was sitting majestically.

Zhao Tianle was around forty years old. He held a folding fan in his hand, and his large belly pressed down on the beast skin chair, causing it to creak. A lazy gaze shot out from his triangular eyes as he looked at the busy guests below the stage.

"Eh, why is the little trash here? And he even brought the little girl, Hua Ling, with him. Yes, it must be Zhao Hann who has settled the matter. I wonder where this fellow went. He hasn't shown himself for the entire night." As he thought to himself, Zhao Tianle stood up from the beast skin chair. Suddenly, he felt his mood improve, and his gaze became especially kind.

Of course, the "kind" gaze only landed on Hua Ling alone, and Ye Feng, who was beside her, was completely ignored.

There were quite a few people who came. Other than Ye Feng and Hua Ling, there were also many people who came to watch the show.

Damn, why are there so many people here? It's not a glorious matter. Don't you know that you have to be a bit more low-profile when doing such things? What the hell is this trash doing?

He frowned.

A trusted aide of Zhao Huo rushed up the stage and whispered a few words into his ear.

"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Tianle's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Are you sure?"

"It is indeed true. Seventh Uncle has already tried it." Zhao Huo said in a low voice.

Zhao Tianle pushed Zhao Huo away and asked the audience below the stage, "Old Seventh, have you detected what Martial Vein he awakened?"

Zhao Qi, who was holding a scroll of beast skin in his hand, shook his head and said, "The 'Martial Vein Records' records all the Martial Veins that have appeared in the history of this county. All the attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and so on are recorded in the book. However, none of them match."

"Is there such a thing? Could it be a different attribute Martial Vein?" The expression on Zhao Tianle's face changed slightly. A different attribute Martial Vein usually had incredible abilities. If Ye Feng really awakened a different attribute Martial Vein, he would have to think twice about getting his girl.

"Deacon, the fact that you can't detect the attribute doesn't mean that it is a powerful different attribute. It is also possible that this trash's Martial Vein is too inconspicuous. After all, there is only one, and it belongs to the lowest grade of the Yellow Rank." Zhao Qi added.

"What? One Martial Vein? Damn it, Zhao Qi, Zhao Huo, are you trying to scare this Deacon? A piece of trash with one Martial Vein, what are you doing with so many people following you? This Deacon thought that something earth-shattering had happened. " At the same time, Zhao Tianle's face quickly turned sinister.

"Hehe, this big guy heard that the trash had awakened the Martial Vein, so he came over to join in the fun." Zhao Huo smiled apologetically.

Zhao Tianle looked at Ye Feng, and his expression returned to its indifferent state, "Since we can't detect the attribute, then it should be that the attribute is extremely thin. In other counties, there have been Martial Cultivators who awakened the Martial Vein but couldn't see the attribute, and in the end, their achievements are very limited."

"The Deacon is right. Furthermore, there is only one Martial Vein. Even if there are two or three, with this trash's previous performance, he won't have any achievements." Another person added.

Zhao Tianle nodded his head, clearly agreeing with what the Deacon said, "Since that's the case, in order to save the resources of the county, I'll reward Ye Feng with three taels of silver and one Body Refining Pill!"

Ye Feng's expression changed.

He didn't expect Zhao Tianle to be so audacious, to actually dare to deduct the reward from the county!
