Insufficient balance

  The next morning, Ye Yizhe received a call from Li Hu, saying that the matter he had asked him to investigate had made some progress and needed to be discussed in person. So, without notifying anyone, Ye Yizhe left school.

  Before Ye Yizhe went to school, he informed Li Hu about the clue to his origin through a phone call. He didn't know about Li Hu's status in Jiangzhou at that time, so he didn't plan to use this relationship. After that day, he realized that Li Hu was one of the top underground figures in Jiangzhou. In Ye Yizhe's opinion, it would be most suitable for him to investigate this matter, and Li Hu was also someone he absolutely trusted. If not considering this factor, Feng Sima would be more suitable, after all, Phoenix Society was famous for its intelligence.

  Women have always been the best weapon for gathering intelligence.

  He wasn't quite clear about Feng Si Niang's intentions, although this matter was not a secret, but he still didn't want people to know too much about his affairs.

  All the way rushing home, Li Hu had already been waiting at the door, and as soon as he saw Ye Yizhe return, he immediately rushed up.

  "Brother Yezi!"

  Ye Yizhe didn't even have time to greet him, anxiously pulling him into the house and closing the door behind him before asking: "What's going on? What did you find out?"

  Li Hu saw the situation and stopped smiling. He knew more than anyone else how much Ye Yizhe valued this matter, but based on his investigation, this result was a bit strange. After hesitating for a moment, Li Hu finally spoke up.

  "I ordered people to bring out all the files of Jiangzhou's ancient Tianhe, and used connections with the public security side. After our one-by-one investigation, it was finally confirmed that among so many people, not a single one would have any relationship with you, Yezi brother."

  "Huh?" Ye Yizhe looked at him in confusion, "Shouldn't there be a lot? Not even one?"

  Li Hu nodded and said, "Indeed, we've investigated nearly 10,000 'Gu Tianhe's', but most of them have never left Jiangzhou. The others are also unlikely to know Zhe Yang Shifu. They're all ordinary people, nothing special about them. Yezi Ge, are you certain this Gu Tianhe is from Jiangzhou?"

  Ye Yizhe shook his head: "I don't know either, Master only told me that once I arrived in Jiangzhou and found this person, I would be able to learn the whole truth. He didn't say whether he was from Jiangzhou or where he came from."

  Li Hu nodded and then said in a voice that seemed to have been released with great effort: "Ye Zi, have you ever heard of the ancient martial sacred place?"

  "What is the ancient martial sacred place?"

  Yan Yizhe's puzzled expression prompted Li Hu to explain: "The Ancient Martial Sacred Land, as the name suggests, is a sacred place of ancient martial arts. It's a place where many powerful and legendary martial art secret manuals exist. If one can master them, they would be invincible. Although it may not be as magical as the legends say, it has still produced many exceptional individuals. I've heard that some of the strongest people in Huaxia today are said to have come from there. Of course, this is just what I've heard from others - after all, I'm still far from reaching that level. Probably only those who stand at the pinnacle of Huaxia truly understand the inside story."

  "Huh, where is this ancient martial sacred place anyway? And what does it have to do with my origins?" Ye Yizhe became more and more confused as he listened. This was such a mysterious place, one that he had never come into contact with before, even if he had, it wouldn't have anything to do with him. He didn't even know who the people at the peak of Huaxia were, let alone someone at his current level being able to make contact with them.

  "Kunlun!" Li Hu said with a respectful tone, for someone who spends their days fighting and killing in the underworld, nothing gets them more excited than those who are stronger than they are. A place that can produce top-notch figures of China, just thinking about it got him pumped up. "The Ancient Martial Sacred Land, Kunlun, is said to be located in the midst of Mount Kunlun, but no one has ever found it, so no one knows if it really exists. But I believe it does exist, otherwise where would those true masters come from? China is vast, it's normal for some masters to appear, having such a mystical place wouldn't be surprising..."

  "Get to the point!" Ye Yizhe interrupted him directly as he heard him getting more and more off-topic.

  Li Hu saw that Ye Yizhe was a bit angry and hastily said: "The first battle of the Green Gang, Nie Huangyun, do you still remember, Brother Ye?"

  Yi Zhe told Li Hu about what happened that day the next day after being surrounded, and at that time if Yi Zhe hadn't stopped him, Li Hu would have already rushed to Han Shaokun's place to make a big scene, so Li Hu knew he had seen Nie Huangyan.

  Leaf nodded, and Li Hu continued: "Nie Yun's strength can completely occupy a place in the Tiger List. The top masters of China have two lists, one is the Dragon List, and the other is the Tiger List. They can be said to be the twenty strongest individuals in China, representing the entire country. When I was gathering intelligence, I would inevitably alert the Qing Bang, so I wouldn't be able to hide it from Nie Yun. Therefore, I asked him directly if he had any impression of this, because at his level, he would know more people. Since Gu Tianhe is so important, I think he shouldn't be an ordinary person either."

  "What's next?" Ye Yizhe asked hastily, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope.

  Then he thought for a long time and finally shook his head. Li Hu's speech was also slightly accelerated by Ye Yizhe, "But after a while, he said again, I seem to have heard someone mention that there is a person in Kunlun who is called Gutian River, although I am not very sure, because I also casually heard the Dragon Gang people mention it, but maybe it will be the person you are looking for."

  "An ancient martial sacred place? Kunlun?" Ye Yizhe sat down quietly after hearing Li Hu's words, thinking carefully. If this was true, then it might really be possible, just like his master who had transcended the mundane world. Although he always called him "old man", he couldn't help but admit that if it was someone familiar to him, only someone else who had also transcended the mundane world would have a chance. Even Mu Hengshui from the Mu family wasn't taken seriously by the old man; otherwise, he wouldn't have let him come alone to cancel the engagement.

  He waved his hand and let Li Hu go first, Ye Yizhe prepared to go through the whole thing from beginning to end.

  Just then, the phone rang, and Ye Yizhe answered without even looking at it. As soon as he opened his mouth, he could tell that it was the voice of Luojin Feng, the counselor for the younger generation: "Ye Yizhe, where are you?!"

  "Teacher Luo, what's wrong?" Ye Yizhe sensed that her tone wasn't quite right and asked tentatively, "I have something to attend to outside. Do you need me for something?"

  Before he could finish speaking, Ye Yizhe's mind suddenly went "ding", no good, it seemed like there was something scheduled for tonight.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  "Sure enough, Lu Jin Feng's tone became increasingly unpleasant: 'No wonder you're a busy person, even something like military training assembly requires me to personally come and invite you.'"

  When she said that, Ye Yizhe remembered that there was indeed such a thing, but it had been completely forgotten due to Li Hu's phone call. Knowing it was his fault, Ye Yizhe said apologetically: "Teacher Luo, I'm sorry, something really came up today, I'll come back right away, don't know if it's still on time?"

  "You're certainly busy, didn't you come to the Philosophy Academy to get things done? A small military training exercise can't hold back your enthusiasm for getting things done, can it?" Luo Jinfeng deliberately enunciated the words "get things done" very clearly, causing Ye Yizhe to feel a sudden surge of anger upon hearing them. He really did have something urgent to attend to, and being targeted by Luo Jinfeng like this again and again, Ye Yizhe had already offended her once before, so he wasn't afraid of offending her a second time. Thinking this, he directly hung up the phone with a "click", not listening to Luo Jinfeng's continued murmurs of nonsense.

  The person on the other end of the phone, Luo Jinfeng, obviously didn't expect this situation to arise. She was stunned for a moment by the "beep" sound on the other end of the line before reacting, fiercely lifting her hand and wanting to smash the phone away, but only hesitated for an instant before putting it down again. She thought that smashing the phone like that wasn't worth it, so she just slapped it onto the table, causing all the papers on the desk to fly out.

  Actually, Luojin Feng had already changed her opinion about Ye Yizhe a lot because of his speech at the opening ceremony that day. However, women always have some uncomfortable days every month, let alone a menopausal woman like her, who is even more irritable at this time. Moreover, she had just quarreled with her husband before going to work, so Luojin Feng was in a bad mood all day.

  Can't help but say Ye Yizhe accidentally bumped into the muzzle.

  But he was puzzled, as he had always been quite popular with both lolis and milfs, although Luo Jinfeng was already in her menopause, but he wouldn't make her dislike him like this, would he?

  Yi Zhe, who was already a bit annoyed, became even more annoyed and directly picked up the phone to dial the old principal's number.

  "Principal, I'm Ye Yizhe. I have some personal matters to attend to, so I won't be able to participate in military training. Hmm, Principal, can you help me out? It's also a bit weird for a guy from our school to go to military training alone, and it would be a hassle to adjust the arrangements. That's all, thank you, Principal."

  Yi Zhe hung up the phone and couldn't help but smile, knowing that each department had separate military training sessions for males and females. Due to his situation, the Philosophy Department had arranged a special instructor just for him, so it wouldn't be too difficult to make arrangements if he didn't participate.

  Luojin Feng thought for a moment and then called the department head, adding oil to the fire as he recounted the events. The department head listened and chuckled, responding: "After discussion with the school leaders, it has been decided that Ye Yizhe is exempt from military training this year. You don't need to worry about this matter."

  After finishing, the department head hung up the phone. Luo Jinfeng looked at the phone and then at the list in front of her with the names of this year's new students, picked up the pen on the desk and heavily crossed out Ye Yizhe's name several times.
