Chapter 2 Reincarnation

In one of the courtyards of the Ye residence, a group of people were gathered.

The one who spoke was a handsome and extraordinary young man, slightly older than the average, a so-called "older youth."

"Naturally, my grandson is no ordinary person. He will surely become a powerful figure who can move mountains and seas in the future,"

said a dignified middle-aged man next to the young man, looking at the rosy clouds in the sky with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"You two, father and son, are just boasting here while your wife is suffering inside. You're still talking nonsense. Besides, who says it must be a grandson? It could be a lovely granddaughter.

...What does this sky's glow have to do with him? It's just a strange phenomenon,"

said a beautiful and noble lady next to them, glaring at the father and son.

"I say it's a grandson, it must be a grandson. I say the sky is your grandson's doing, it's your grandson's doing. You, a woman, know nothing,"

the middle-aged man said with authority.

"That's right, that's right... I was wrong,"

the young man nodded in agreement but suddenly realized a slight problem, which was...

"You little rascal, I regret giving birth to you! If only you were a daughter. Look at your sisters, how considerate they are. Unlike you, always ganging up with this old man to anger me," the noble lady said loudly, twisting the young man's ear and glaring at the middle-aged man.

"What do you mean it would be better if he were a daughter? You only gave birth to this one with a handle for me. If I lose him, I'll divorce you and marry another one,"

the middle-aged man immediately retorted.

"You dare? Humph! You said you would only have me in this life. Are you tired of me now and want to find a new love?" the noble lady looked at the middle-aged man, her eyes wide, then spoke with resentment.

"My dear wife, my love for you is like the sun and moon in the sky, forever unchanging. If I say I love only you, I will love only you forever,"

the middle-aged man immediately held the noble lady's hand and spoke affectionately.

"Husband..."

"Wife..."

Under the rosy clouds, the two began their decades-long affectionate exchange of sweet nothings.

"Lian'er, my love for you is like this vast sky of rosy clouds, endless..."

As the middle-aged man looked at the clouds and improvised, something unusual happened.

The rosy clouds in the sky became brighter and more beautiful, an unforgettable sight.

Strangely, many people had the illusion that the clouds were flowing towards a certain place in the imperial capital.

Even more strangely, the clouds suddenly disappeared, just as suddenly as they appeared.

At this moment, the entire sky returned to normal, making people wonder if what they had just witnessed was a dream.

However, at this moment, the people here did not care about this change, because at the same time, they heard the cry of a baby.

"Congratulations, Master, congratulations!"

At this time, a familiar line appeared, spoken by an old woman with a smile on her face.

"How is it? Is the young mistress alright?" the young man asked.

"Mother and son are safe," the old woman had just finished these four words when she found that the young man had disappeared in front of her, passing by her like a gust of wind.

"Mother and son are safe. See, I was right, it's a grandson," the middle-aged man outside said proudly, while the noble lady in his arms pinched him angrily.

"Then why did you say it was a grandson the previous times? And what happened?"

the noble lady questioned.

"Brother, it's a brother! Sister, we have a younger brother!"

A little girl next to them pulled a girl not much older than her and shouted, then ran towards the house, followed by a boy who looked old for his age.

The existence of the sisters was good proof, refuting the middle-aged man's words.

"Well, I was right once before... Strange, why did the sky's glow disappear?"

the middle-aged man began to change the subject, looking at the sky.

"Yes, it seems like the rosy clouds disappeared as soon as our little grandson was born. It's really strange," the noble lady frowned slightly and said with some confusion.

Before the middle-aged man could boast about being right again, the noble lady remembered something.

"You just said your love for me is like the endless glow of the clouds, but now the clouds are gone..."

"Ahem, well..."

"Humph!"

While the old couple outside was flirting, another couple inside was gazing at each other affectionately.

One of them was the young man, and the other was the woman lying on the bed who had just given birth.

Although the woman looked weak, her charming temperament could not be concealed.

"My dear wife, you've worked hard,"

the young man said to the weak woman on the bed, holding her jade-like hand and staring at her, seemingly not even looking at the baby next to her pillow.

This scene seemed to indicate that he was different from other men, as his primary concern at this moment was still his wife, not his son.

"Don't pretend, I know what you want most now is to hold our son," the woman smiled slightly and said gently.

She knew her husband's current mood, and of course, she didn't mean he was pretending, it was just that both feelings existed, and as a wife, she naturally had to be understanding.

She was also very content with her husband's care and concern for her.

"Haha, then let me hold our precious son first," the young man was also straightforward. After laughing a few times, he picked up the baby who was already wrapped... well, swaddled.

"Black eyes, only a few hairs, can't tell what color..." the young man muttered as he held the baby.

"Father, Father, I want to hold my little brother too," the lively little girl called out from the side, but with her small body, who would let her hold him?

"No messing around, you can look at him, but no holding," the young man refused directly.

"Humph, then let me see him," the little girl snorted and then leaned over with joy, while the other two children also came over.

"Wow, little brother is so cute!"

"Mmm."

"Yes."

The three children chatted one after another, while the two adults watched from the side. Suddenly, the whole room was filled with a warm and happy atmosphere, the taste of home.

And the newborn baby, as if not understanding this feeling, cried loudly in the swaddle...

After one night, a rumor began to spread in the city about yesterday's miracle being caused by a person, a newborn baby, who was none other than the freshly born thirteenth young master of the Ye family.

The thirteenth young master did not mean that his father had so many children, but rather his ranking among the male members of the Ye family's generation, meaning he was thirteenth among his cousins.

Of course, this was only the ranking within the contemporary main family, not the entire Ye family.

If it were the entire Ye family, he would probably be the 1001st young master, or perhaps even more.

The miracle, coupled with the prominent family background, immediately made this thirteenth-young master the focus of the entire city and was also unanimously recognized as the Son of God, without any opposition or doubt, at least not for now.

Therefore, this little guy who had just been born and was still in swaddling clothes became famous throughout the world.

Many people had already begun to conclude that this child would surely achieve extraordinary things in the future, and some even fabricated his entire life story.

One year old: Able to run, jump, and speak, showing early signs of brilliance.

Two years old: Already reading and writing, well-read, demonstrating his potential.

Three years old: Starts learning Dou Qi or magic, with the results undoubtedly showing him to be a genius.

Five years old: Enters the Imperial Capital's Royal Academy, excelling in his studies and skills.

Ten years old: Embarks on a journey to gain experience, becoming famous throughout the land and a legend in his own right.

Twenty years old: Becomes a lord of a territory, develops his power, and establishes himself as a dominant force.

It would be difficult for him to live an ordinary life, as he would be the center of attention.

Throughout his life, he would meet talented individuals, build a career together, rule the land, encounter women of various personalities, and experience love...

However, is this really how things will turn out?
