Among them, Ye Fan was also there, but his expression was relaxed, feeling extremely confident.
He believed that if he joined the Sacred Immortal Sect, it would be the Sacred Immortal Sect that would be fortunate enough to have him. He was absolutely confident in his extraordinary talent.
Therefore, Ye Fan appeared very calm, a stark contrast to the expressions of everyone else present.
Both the Ye family head and the elders eagerly awaited the messenger's arrival. This was the moment the Ye family would be glorious and revered after Ye Fan joined the Sacred Immortal Sect and became one of the disciples with a chance to inherit the Sacred Immortal Sect.
About half an hour later, a dimensional void suddenly formed in front of the Ye family's gate, and the next moment, an elderly figure with a very dignified appearance stepped out of the void.
The figure stood quietly without saying a word upon his arrival.
How could he not, with his sudden appearance, none of the Ye family gatekeepers noticed his arrival, but...
"He's finally here." At this moment, the Ye family head immediately sensed the aura of a powerful figure suddenly appearing at the gate of the Ye family residence. He immediately rose and quickly rushed out to greet the figure.
"Senior, why don't you come in?" Upon arrival, the Ye family head immediately said respectfully.
This figure in front of him was not only far stronger than him, but also a great elder of the Sacred Immortal Sect. Naturally, the Ye family head respected him greatly.
"Hehe, it's not nice to enter without permission," the great elder said with a friendly smile.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two entered and arrived at the main hall of the Ye family head's residence.
Everyone greeted the arrival of the Sacred Immortal Sect great elder warmly and respectfully.
It should be noted that the Ye family residence was quite large, with several large houses within it, even the courtyard the size of a football field. The distance between the gate and the Ye family head's residence was quite far, but for them, this distance wasn't a problem. They had arrived in just a few moments and entered the main hall. Even if they wanted to, they could have done so in the blink of an eye. Such was the power of cultivators at a high level.
Currently, everyone was eating and enjoying the dishes provided. The Ye family head had specially held a banquet to welcome the arrival of the envoy of the Holy Immortal Sect, who was none other than the sect's Grand Elder.
This was to demonstrate the Ye family's sincerity to the Grand Elder of the Holy Immortal Sect.
In the midst of their conversation...
"Family Head Ye, I heard you have two sons, where is the other one?" The Great Elder of the Sacred Immortal Sect asked. The Sacred Immortal Sect was very far from here. Furthermore, the Great Elder of the Sacred Immortal Sect rarely cared about the outside world. He had only heard that Ye Fan had a brother named Ye Xiao. The information he had gathered was nothing more than that. Therefore, the Great Elder of the Sacred Immortal Sect knew nothing about Ye Xiao beyond his name.
The Great Elder of the Sacred Immortal Sect was actually curious. If Ye Fan possessed such an extraordinary sacred golden core, what about Ye Xiao, who was none other than his brother? The Great Elder reasoned that Ye Xiao probably also possessed quite remarkable talent.
Ehhh...
But his question brought a moment of silence to the previously cheerful atmosphere.
Ehmmm...
"Yes, Senior. It's just that he's currently out and can't return for the time being, so he can't come greet you." The Ye family head didn't dare lie, but he didn't reveal what had happened to Ye Xiao that prevented him from returning to the Ye family residence.
"Oh, is that so? Then what about his talent? Is it also extraordinary?" the great elder of the Sacred Immortal Sect continued to ask.
Eh...
As he asked this, the expressions of the Ye family head and the Ye family members grew increasingly complicated.
Most people didn't want to reveal the matter because they didn't want the Ye family's reputation to be affected by Ye Xiao's condition. They even cursed in their minds why such a talentless family member could bring such disgrace to such a distinguished martial family like the Ye family.
It's important to note that the Ye family is a martial arts family that focuses on strength and cultivation. However, in such a family, a descendant who can't even awaken his golden core and thus can't become a cultivator is truly shameful.
"Senior, unfortunately, my eldest son isn't as good as Ye Fan. I do feel a great regret, but never mind, it's probably fate," the Ye family head said with a deep sigh.
Of course, the Ye family head couldn't say that his eldest son couldn't awaken his golden core and simply claimed his talent wasn't as good as Ye Fan's to hide Ye Xiao's condition. Furthermore, he couldn't let the great elder of the Sacred Immortal Sect know that the Ye family had even ostracized and tortured Ye Xiao all this time. If he found out, he might think that the Ye family was too cruel to his family members. Moreover, he wasn't just an ordinary family member; Ye Xiao was also a descendant of the Ye family head himself.
"Oh, so that's how it is. What a shame." The great elder of the Sacred Immortal Sect didn't continue discussing Ye Xiao.
After a while, after discussing various matters, the banquet ended, and it was time for Ye Fan to be taken away by the Great Elder of the Sacred Immortal Sect.
"Son, work hard, the future of the Ye family depends on you."
"Yes, Father."
The father and son exchanged a few farewells, and then the Great Elder of the Sacred Immortal Sect led Ye Fan away into the rift of the void.
At this moment, watching Ye Fan leave, the Ye family head and the Ye family members expressed emotion and excitement. They eagerly anticipated the Ye family's future rise.
Furthermore, whenever they thought of Ye Fan, they would always compare him to Ye Xiao, cursing and cursing him in their hearts.
