Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 22 Ye Anu and Ye Ajian
Chapter 22 - 22 Ye Anu and Ye Ajian
Five days have passed.
Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong are preparing to report to the academy.
They spent an extra five days at the mansion with the purpose of concealing the fact that they had broken through to become First Grade Spirit Masters in a single day.
Now, a total of seven days have passed, so even if the news of their breakthrough to First Grade Spirit Masters is released, people will not be too surprised.
During these five days, Ye Youlong's cousin who kept saying he'd return for the family reunion meal had not yet come back.
This made Ye Wudi somewhat worried that something might have happened.
Fortunately, on the evening of the fifth day, Ye Youlong's cousin rushed back.
Travel-worn, his fur collar and hat were covered with snow.
Dressed in military attire, tall and sturdy at around 1.85 meters, his face was resolute with thick eyebrows over fierce eyes, radiating powerful charisma. Beside him was a pretty and delicate-looking lady.
"Father, mother, we're back!" Ye Anu declared loudly.
The lady beside him also tenderly echoed, "Father, mother."
"Good to have you back, just in time for dinner. Please, take a seat," Ye Wudi finally showed a smile on his face.
It would be false to say he wasn't worried about his son's prolonged absence.
Acknowledging with a response, Ye Anu then turned to Ye Youlong, "Cousin, long time no see, you've become even more beautiful. I heard you awakened an SSS-grade Artifact Spirit, which is truly wonderful news. It's a cause for celebration for the entire Ye Family, haha."
His voice was hearty, matching his rugged appearance.
However, Ye Youlong merely responded indifferently.
"Thank you, cousin."
Understanding his cousin's demeanor, Ye Anu didn't take her attitude to heart and shifted his gaze to Xiao Zhan.
His expression suddenly turned unpleasant, "Your name is Xiao Zhan, right? According to the reports, you are F-grade?"
His gaze was tiger-like, intently fixed on Xiao Zhan.
There was almost an implication that if Xiao Zhan answered yes, he would launch an attack.
"He's not F-grade; he is SSS-grade," Ye Wudi spoke up before Xiao Zhan could, knowing that if he left Xiao Zhan to explain, Ye Anu surely wouldn't believe it and the two would probably end up arguing pointlessly. Therefore, he decided to clarify it himself.
Indeed, the moment he spoke, Ye Anu calmed down significantly.
"SSS-grade? But the report shows..." Ye Anu was both shocked and confused.
Shocked because Xiao Zhan also had a top-tier talent.

Confused because, why was the report incorrect?
Could his father be deliberately deceiving him, hiding some ulterior motive?
Waving his hand dismissively, Ye Wudi couldn't be bothered to explain further, "Alright, reports can be wrong at times. Anyway, he truly is SSS-grade; I have verified it myself."
Hearing his father say this, Ye Anu couldn't press the matter any further.
"Alright then, let me introduce myself; my name is Ye Anu, Youlong's cousin. Since you are also SSS-grade, I won't trouble you. From now on, we're family! When you go to the academy to study, feel free to be bold. If anyone dares to trouble you, just drop my name. I'll bring a whole legion to back you up!"
Ye Anu immediately extended his hand, speaking very generously.
This drastic 180-degree change in attitude caught Xiao Zhan off guard.
One moment this guy looked ready to show him what's what, and the next, he swiftly changed his tune, treating him like a good brother.
This guy must be an actor in Sichuan opera.
Changing faces so fast?
Nevertheless, this also showed that Ye Anu was a man with clear attitudes, very straightforward.
If he dislikes you, he shows it without any pretense.
If he appreciates you, then he does so, expressing his stance very candidly.
Such people often have no schemes, they are worthy of deep friendship.
Xiao Zhan immediately extended his hand as well, "Hello cousin, my name is Xiao Zhan."
"Ah, that's right, calling me cousin is correct, you're a good brother! Haha!"
Ye Anu laughed heartily, having finished the handshake, he patted Xiao Zhan's shoulder.
What a guy, that was quite some strength.
Fortunately, Xiao Zhan was already a First Grade Spirit Master, otherwise he might not have been able to withstand it!
"By the way, father, where's my second brother? Hasn't he returned yet?"
Ye Anu looked around but couldn't find his brother.
Ye Wudi was taken aback by the mention, "Your second brother? He didn't say he was coming back."
"Ah? He didn't say? Then how did he tell me he was coming back?"
Ye Anu was also stunned.
The confusion between the two instantly tensed up the atmosphere in the hall.
Especially Zhang Runya, her complexion gradually turned pale.
But just then, a crisp, joyous voice suddenly came from the door, "Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Following that, a cheerful young man ran into the room.
It was Ye Wudi's youngest son, Ye Ajian.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, long time no see."
Ye Ajian looked completely different from Ye Anu, with Ye Anu inheriting Ye Wudi's ruggedness, while Ye Ajian inherited Zhang Runya's delicate features.
The two of them didn't look like brothers at all.
"You little rascal, worrying us to death, didn't you say you'd return first? How come you're slower than me? And you didn't even tell mom and dad before coming back?" Ye Anu half scolded.
Visibly, he cared deeply for his little brother.
The two siblings had a ten-year age gap, truly like an elder brother and a younger brother.
Ye Ajian chuckled, "Didn't I want to give mom and dad a surprise? But who knew this damn weather, suddenly such heavy snow, caused the flights to be grounded."
After saying this, he couldn't wait to turn his head towards Ye Youlong.
"Cousin, congratulations on awakening an SSS-grade talent, you're now the brightest star in our family!"
"Naughty boy, watch your language, showing no respect!" Zhang Runya scolded from the side.
Her eyes full of doting.
Ye Ajian just chuckled again, then turned his gaze toward Xiao Zhan, his smile dimmed and he suddenly turned serious. He carefully observed the pattern on Xiao Zhan's forehead.
Xiao Zhan thought he was going to start mocking like Ye Wudi, or do as Ye Anu did, courtesy before inventory.
But to his surprise, he suddenly broke into a smile, then extended his hand, with a very gentle demeanor, "Hello brother-in-law, I'm Ajian."
Xiao Zhan was taken aback, not expecting this kind of reaction, but then immediately reached out his hand as well, "Hello, my name is Xiao Zhan."
Releasing hands.
Ye Ajian then took out a Jade Box, "Brother-in-law, this is a gift I prepared for you."
A gift?
Xiao Zhan was again surprised, and even a little astonished, he hadn't expected this so-called younger cousin would prepare a gift for him.
And from the looks of it, it seemed to be specially prepared for him.
"Thank you."
Xiao Zhan did not refuse.
Instead, he took note of this kindness.
"Naughty kid, you only prepared a gift for your brother-in-law, what about mine? And what about mom and dad's?" Seeing that only Xiao Zhan received a gift, Ye Anu feigned anger.
