Chapter 4 Super Memory

The discovery of Thirteenth Young Master's aptitude was a blow to his parents.

However, they consoled themselves that as long as their son was safe and sound, and lived a carefree life, they wouldn't dwell on it too much.

Of course, they wouldn't give up on nurturing their son.

They still believed that hard work could compensate for innate shortcomings.

Even if he couldn't become an outstanding individual, he should at least have a skill.

Fortunately, their other three children were all gifted and intelligent, especially the eldest son, Ye Hui, the only male offspring besides the Thirteenth Young Master.

His growth was a delight, a stark contrast to his younger brother, a true genius.

Because of him, Ye Chengtian and his wife felt a bit more balanced.

They refocused their cultivation efforts on Ye Hui, with their two daughters as secondary priorities.

As for the Thirteenth Young Master, they wouldn't abandon him and loved him dearly, but their approach to his development was much more relaxed.

If Thirteenth Young Master were to remain as he was, he would live a peaceful life.

With the Ye family's influence, even if he couldn't marry the Imperial Princess, they could still find him a very good wife and ensure a happy and fulfilling life.

Why couldn't he marry the Imperial Princess?

Well, under normal circumstances, both parties would cancel the engagement.

Neither the Ye family nor the Royal family would allow the Thirteenth Young Master to marry the Imperial Princess.

This involved many complex issues.

If the Ye family ignored everything and married the Imperial Princess, they wouldn't be able to maintain their standing in the Xiangkong Empire.

No matter what, the Ye family, as subjects, wouldn't let the Royal family lose face.

Even if the Royal family gave them face or insisted, they would still have to decline.

Furthermore, as long as there was a way to back down, the Royal family would follow suit and not persist.

Of course, while they were still young, this matter would be put aside for the time being, and no one would touch it.

In other words, the Thirteenth Young Master and the Imperial Princess were still nominally engaged.

Returning to the main topic, Thirteenth Young Master did have a unique side.

This wasn't referring to his intellectual development, which everyone already knew about, but rather something else.

Something very strange and inexplicable, like the rosy clouds that appeared at his birth, was beyond comprehension.

The first person to discover Thirteenth Young Master's peculiarity was none other than his lively older sister, Ye Lanyu.

Once, while playing with him, she noticed that his memory was in stark contrast to his intellectual level.

At that time, the Thirteenth Young Master could barely communicate and speak.

Although his development was a bit slow, it was still within an acceptable range.

Everyone's expectations for him were already low, hoping only that he could live a peaceful and happy life.

Even if he couldn't take care of himself, it didn't matter.

The Ye family could take care of him for the rest of his life, and some people had already made such plans.

However, at this time, little Lanyu discovered Thirteenth Young Master's peculiarity.

She was playing a puzzle game that tested memory and judgment.

Initially, she was playing a relatively simple one, suitable for children's mental development.

However, little Lanyu considered herself smarter than ordinary children, as most people do, so she chose a more difficult one, which was definitely challenging for a child and even somewhat difficult for adults.

Indeed, little Lanyu was very bright, but after all, a child's intellectual development is limited.

So, after struggling for a long time without success, she threw the puzzle on the ground in frustration and sat sulking.

While little Lanyu was angry, the Thirteenth Young Master made some movements.

He looked at the puzzle on the ground, then at his angry sister, his expression seemingly confused.

He seemed to understand that his sister was angry because she couldn't complete the puzzle.

So, he reached out his small hand, picked up the scattered pieces from the ground, placed them on the frame, and tried to put them together bit by bit.

"Brother, stop playing, it's not fun at all. Sister will take you..."

Little Lanyu, after calming down, saw Thirteenth Young Master playing with the puzzle on the ground.

At first, she thought he was just playing randomly, but she soon realized something was wrong.

In the corner of the frame that she glimpsed, she saw what appeared to be a complete puzzle.

This surprised her greatly. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that most of the puzzle had been completed.

"This, this..." Little Lanyu's expression was as if she had discovered a new world.

She was certain that it was all done by the Thirteenth Young Master, as they were the only two present.

However, this puzzle, which she had just struggled with for a long time, was now mostly completed by her seemingly slow brother. It seemed too incredible.

Little Lanyu was stunned, staring at Thirteenth Young Master in disbelief.

"Sister, look, it's done. Don't be angry anymore."

Thirteenth Young Master spoke slowly, pausing between each sentence, trying his best to express himself.

Little Lanyu was used to this; he always spoke like this.

Coincidence, it must be a coincidence.

Little Lanyu looked at the completed puzzle, finding it hard to believe.

First, she couldn't believe that her slow brother could complete it, and second, she couldn't believe that she was worse than her brother. How could she maintain her dignity as an older sister?

"I'm not angry, brother. Let's play again."

Little Lanyu smiled and scattered the completed puzzle once more, wanting to see if it was just a coincidence.

Thirteenth Young Master looked at little Lanyu and then squatted down to continue working on the puzzle.

As the puzzle was gradually restored, little Lanyu's mouth opened wider and wider.

"Mom, Mom, something incredible! Brother he..."

At this point, little Lanyu immediately ran to report to Long Anqi.

As a result, the entire Ye family was abuzz with excitement.

They discovered that the Thirteenth Young Master had an extraordinary memory, capable of remembering things perfectly after seeing them just once.

This was the conclusion they reached after many tests, a somewhat unbelievable conclusion.

Thirteenth Young Master's intellectual level was still unsatisfactory, not matching his age group, but his memory was even superior to that of adults.

This was the legendary case of a genius and a fool... Perhaps it was like this, or perhaps Thirteenth Young Master lacked something, preventing him from properly utilizing his abilities.
