"Yedan, I'll make it clear! The young master is an unparalleled prodigy in swordsmanship, and focusing on the path of the sword is the best way forward!"
"You, a sword enthusiast, understand nothing. The young master is the future hope of the alchemy realm in the immortal domain. Alchemy is the most suitable path for the young master."
In the grand hall of the ancient Ye family, two exceptional prodigies, one in swordsmanship and the other in alchemy, engage in a passionate debate, sparking a heated discussion.
Like ordinary market vendors, they argue fervently, almost resorting to physical combat, eager to engage in a full-fledged battle.
These two are the young alchemy prodigy Yedan and the sword prodigy Ye Sword God. Alongside them are some young disciples and a speechless Ye Linglong, holding the instigator of this conflict – Ye Tian.
It turns out Ye Tian, a newborn, effortlessly mastered peerless sword techniques at a glance, and Ye Sword God intended to nurture him as a sword prodigy. However, Yedan discovered this, leading to an intense dispute about whether Ye Tian should study alchemy instead.
Ye Tian feels bitter inside, "I just wanted to act weak; how did I become the so-called prodigy in your eyes?"
While Ye Linglong watches the seemingly harmless Ye Tian in her arms, she is secretly shocked, wondering how a few days old baby attracts two extraordinary prodigies to fight for his attention.
Surrounding disciples are puzzled, not understanding why these two prodigies are quarreling.
At this moment, the space in the hall distorts, and two figures emerge – the third and fourth elders of the ancient Ye family.

"Greetings, two elders!"
The Ye family disciples immediately bow in respect. Ye Sword God, Yedan, and Ye Linglong also salute, showing their reverence.
The elders intervene, putting a stop to the heated argument between Yedan and Ye Sword God.
However, the two, unwilling to yield, continue to glare at each other with hostility.
The elders, finding it somewhat amusing, inquire, "Sword God, you're both prodigies of the Ye family; why this argument?"
"Sword God claims the young master is an extraordinary sword prodigy, meant to delve into the supreme path of the sword. Yet, Yedan wants him to study alchemy. Isn't this misleading the prodigy?" Ye Sword God asserts, emphasizing the exceptional talent of Ye Tian.
However, except for Ye Linglong, everyone remains silent, stunned by the revelation that Ye Tian effortlessly mastered peerless sword techniques with a single glance.
The third elder, skeptical, questions, "Sword God, this sounds like a joke."
Ye Tian's birth was witnessed by him and the fourth elder. They confirmed his ordinary aptitude, lacking any extraordinary signs.
Ignoring their elders, Ye Linglong nods, confirming the truth of Ye Tian's talents.
The elders are astonished. They had investigated Ye Tian's aptitude and confirmed his ordinariness. How could a few-day-old infant accomplish such feats?
Three elders and the fourth exchange knowing glances, suspecting they've guessed the truth.
"Enough! The young master's choice of cultivation is not within our control! Besides, the young master is just an ordinary talent."
"Let's wait for the family head to return and discuss this matter thoroughly. Stop arguing to avoid straining relations."
The elders sternly declare, leaving to inform others. Meanwhile, Yedan and Ye Sword God reluctantly cease their dispute.
Now that things have settled, Ye Tian, in Ye Linglong's arms, contemplates, "I just wanted to act weak; why does it always end up being noticed?"
Ye Linglong looks at the adorable baby in her arms, thinking about the competition for his attention. She mutters, "I won't let those people take you away; otherwise, who will I sleep with in the future?"
Everyone, each with their own plans, tries to figure out how to win Ye Tian over. Ye Tian sighs internally, "I just wanted to play it cool, give me a chance, okay?"
"Young brother, in a few days, that rich lady from the interstellar business empire is returning to the family. Be careful not to catch her eye, or else, who will i cuddle with in bed?"
