Rebirth of the Peak Young Master
Chapter 111: Formal Initiation

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Formal Initiation

The end of the year finally arrived.

Chinese New Year has always been lively and bustling!

The Ye Family is naturally no exception and started preparing early.

However, this year, the Ye Family underwent earth-shattering changes, with the once-rejected Ye Zhigang suddenly becoming the family head.

Meanwhile, the original family of Ye Zhixiong faded into obscurity, utterly ignored.

During the family meal on New Year’s Eve, the Ye Family ate with extreme restraint.

After all, with the Great God Ye Fei present, they were careful even when moving their chopsticks, fearing any noise that might disturb Ye Fei’s mood.

Ye Fei maintained a stance of indifference to all this.

With his temperament, not killing them was already an act of great mercy; ordinarily, he wouldn’t even have had the New Year meal with them.

But since his father Ye Zhigang had now become the family head, and with repeated insistence, Ye Fei was naturally willing to support his father by accompanying him for the first New Year meal as family head.

After a particularly awkward New Year’s Eve meal, Ye Fei called Master Ma to his room.

"Master, you wanted to see me?" Master Ma entered, greeting respectfully.

Ye Fei, seated on the higher seat, glanced at the disciple whose age was like his father’s, and nodded calmly.

In the pursuit of the Dao, the wise lead as masters!

No matter how old Master Ma was, he was no match for Ye Fei, who possessed the Soul-controlling Demon Memory, and thus Ye Fei naturally accepted the title of Master without hesitation.

"Ma Ning, although our initial meeting was not pleasant, your commitment to the Dao did reach my eyes! However, the path of the Dao requires not only determination but also opportunity!" Ye Fei said lightly.

Master Ma, also known as Ma Ning.

Upon hearing Ye Fei’s words, he immediately knelt at Ye Fei’s feet, saying earnestly, "Disciple understands!"

"Good that you understand!"

Ye Fei nodded slightly, then with a flip of his hand, the Mind Control Insect appeared.

"This is a Demon Path treasure, the Mind Control Insect, with the power to confuse minds. If you can break through the confusion within one incense stick’s time, it proves we have the master-disciple affinity; if not, you may leave!"

Thud thud thud!

Seeing the Mind Control Insect in Ye Fei’s hand, Ma Ning felt his heart leap into his throat.

However, he promptly nodded and sat cross-legged, waiting for Ye Fei to cast his technique.

Seeing this, Ye Fei sent the Mind Control Insect to hover above Ma Ning’s head and then ceased to pay attention.

The inheritance of the Demon was no small matter!

While Ye Fei did not intend to pass on the Soul-controlling Technique to anyone, other cultivation techniques within the Soul-controlling Demon Memory were ultimate divine skills, and if trusted to the wrong person, could bring chaos to the world.

Although Ma Ning had recently passed many of Ye Fei’s tests, trusting hearts was tricky, so the best judgment relied on the Mind Control Insect that could explore the mind.

And so, time passed, second by second.

Throughout, Ma Ning kept his eyes tightly shut, while sweat continuously dripped from his forehead.

Nobody knew how much time had passed when Ma Ning finally let out a soft breath, slowly opening his eyes, and immediately asked, "Master, I..."

"Passed!" Ye Fei said with a faint smile.

Thump!

Upon hearing this, Ma Ning’s whole body went limp, collapsing to the ground.

Turns out, during the test with the Mind Control Insect, he had been utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally, and had just been holding on to ask Ye Fei the outcome.

Receiving the answer, he completely relaxed.

Since Ma Ning had passed the test, Ye Fei had no intention of waiting for his recovery. After passing on the teachings tonight, Ye Fei planned to leave the Ye Family to attend the Martial Arts Conference.

Thus, with a single push of his hand, Ye Fei dispelled all of Ma Ning’s fatigue.

Hurriedly rising, Ma Ning knelt once more, "Thank you, Master!"

"From today, I accept you as a registered disciple. If you succeed in Foundation Establishment, I will formally take you as a student. Are you willing?" Ye Fei asked calmly.

"Willing! The disciple is willing!" Ma Ning nodded excitedly.

Seeing this, Ye Fei continued, "Since you are willing, let me briefly introduce the path I cultivate."

"I cultivate the Demon Path! It seeks to follow one’s heart and act naturally! However, being the Demon Path, it naturally has ruthless methods!"

Switching the tone, Ye Fei stared icily at Ma Ning, "If you respect me as your master, your life will be wholly in my hands. I am your heaven, and I am your earth! I am your everything! Should you dare to betray me, your soul shall be utterly destroyed, do you understand!"

Whoosh!

Faced with Ye Fei’s sudden change in aura, Ma Ning broke into a cold sweat, as if the figure before him was an Ancient Demon.

Watching him coldly, If he dared to utter a refusal, his path would end!

"Master, I swear upon my Divine Soul, I dare not betray Master for eternity!" Ma Ning declared resolutely.

Hearing this, Ye Fei’s presence did not wane, and with a touch, he pointed at Ma Ning’s body.

Immediately, Ma Ning felt immense pain searing through him.

"Master, you..."

Ma Ning was puzzled, for Ye Fei had forcefully abolished his cultivation.

"Do you have any grievances in your heart?" Ye Fei asked indifferently.

"This disciple holds no grievances!" Ma Ning replied earnestly.

Seeing this, Ye Fei nodded in satisfaction, then extended his finger once more, instantly instilling a basic cultivation method into Ma Ning’s mind, with a faint trace of Demonic Qi, unlike the previous Ghost Cultivation Energy.

"Thank you, Master, for bestowing Divine Skill!" Feeling everything, Ma Ning reverently knelt before Ye Fei.

Divine Skill?

Upon hearing this, Ye Fei couldn’t help but smile.

The Dao is not spread lightly; what he gave Ma Ning was merely the most basic Cultivation Magic Technique, hardly a Divine Skill.

Yet it was sufficient for Ma Ning to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Stage, or even the Golden Core Stage.

Once Ma Ning successfully established the foundation, Ye Fei would consider giving him a suitable Demon Technique, but for now, he was just a registered disciple!

"Return! Cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Stage, then come see me again!" Ye Fei waved a hand, sending Ma Ning out of the room, before sitting down again.

"The Martial Arts Conference, huh? I hope it doesn’t disappoint me!"

Ye Fei muttered, then closed his eyes, beginning his cultivation once more...

Early the next morning, after simply having the Li Family assist with transferring Ye Qianqian to Binjiang First Middle School, Ye Fei bid farewell to his parents and officially set out for Yungang.

This year’s Martial Arts Conference was being held near Yungang, and he wanted to head there early to see if he could obtain what he needed.

Of course, Ye Fei wanted to set out early.

However, Ye Fei didn’t realize that this journey would disrupt the calm cultivation life he once knew!
