X780.
Two years passed in a flash.
San Mao and Er Gou had been training Six Styles for three months, and they had already initially mastered it.
Under Ye Yang's test, they received his approval and began taking on missions.
Natsu also found an Exceed egg in the same year, from which Happy, a small cat, was born.
In X779, Laxus was the only one selected for S-Class.
Gildarts directly washed his hands of the matter, entrusting all assessment affairs to Ye Yang.
Laxus also had a earth-shattering battle with Ye Yang as he wished.
Laxus had trained desperately that year, and his strength had undergone a qualitative leap.
It is said that in the S-Class assessment, their battle directly razed a small island to the ground, but fortunately, it was an uninhabited island, causing no losses.
Although Ye Yang was still the final victor, Laxus also obtained S-Class qualification, but Laxus was not reconciled, because he had not defeated Ye Yang.
During this time, Laxus's heart became increasingly corrupted.
And Ye Yang, in these two active years, also made a name for himself: Golden Flash.
Inside the Fairy Tail Guild:
"Ye Yang! Come and duel me!!"
Happy: "Natsu, you'll be instantly killed."
"I don't care!"
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
Happy: "KO! Natsu, this is your 136th defeat."
At this moment, Natsu's head was stuck in the ceiling, his body swaying freely.
"Sigh~ Natsu, you don't have to wait for me in the Guild every morning."
"With this effort, you might as well do more missions."
"Happy is almost unable to afford his dried fish."
Upon hearing this, Happy immediately flew to Ye Yang's head, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Boss! Why don't I just be your cat? Following Natsu, I can't eat my fill every day, boo hoo hoo X﹏X..."
When Happy was born, he often heard San Mao call Ye Yang 'Boss', so he followed suit.
Ye Yang rubbed Happy's head.
"You are already a strong cat.
Natsu is just young now, only B-Class Mage strength.
When he grows up a bit more, you'll have endless dried fish!"
"Really?! Boss!"
"Of course, I wouldn't lie to you."
"Then Boss, what should I do during this time?"
Ye Yang rummaged through his body, pulling out a mini fishing rod from who knows where, and placed it in Happy's paw.
"With this, are you still afraid of not having fish?"
Happy looked at the fishing rod in his paw, completely bewildered.
("That fish is bigger than me, are you asking me to be fished?")
Ye Yang walked to his recliner and lazily lay down.
In recent years, Ye Yang rarely went out to take on missions.
He was now the largest real estate tycoon in Magnolia Town, only renting out houses, not selling them.
Of course, the rent was relatively cheap, and the locations were good.
He had a monthly income of 10 million J without lifting a finger.
He had completely realized his dream: bickering with the old man in the Guild every day, lying down and resting, entering retirement life early.
Just then, Makarov returned to the Guild with a roll of parchment in his hand.
"Stinky Brat, come here for a moment."
Ye Yang looked up at the serious-faced Makarov, knowing that something must have happened.
"What's wrong, old man? Do you want to buy a house from me? I'll definitely give you a friendly price."
"Stinky Brat, stop fooling around, something's happened."
Saying this, he threw the scroll in his hand to Ye Yang.
After Ye Yang scanned it, an astonishing aura instantly erupted, and the overwhelming pressure made everyone afraid to breathe.
Makarov looked at Ye Yang in shock.
This was the first time he had seen Ye Yang so angry, and the pressure he unleashed was almost unbearable even for him.
After Makarov scanned the surroundings, he saw that everyone was trembling as they looked at Ye Yang.
Mirajane and Erza, although they didn't show much, their bodies were also slightly trembling, and they looked at Ye Yang with grave expressions.
"Stinky Brat, what are you doing!!"
With Makarov's roar, Ye Yang regained a shred of rationality.
His aura retracted, but the killing intent in his eyes indicated that he was merely suppressing it at the moment.
"Tata Village is the village where Er Gou and San Mao and I lived since we were young."
Makarov looked at Ye Yang in shock.
Ye Yang and the others had never mentioned the village they lived in, only knowing that they used to engage in banditry.
The intelligence report listed dozens of villages, including Tata Village, and the report mentioned the words 'village massacre'.
He also understood why Ye Yang would have such a big reaction.
When Er Gou and San Mao heard Ye Yang mention Tata Village, an ominous feeling arose spontaneously.
San Mao: "Bo... Boss, what just happened to you? Did you mention Tata Village?"
Er Gou: "Boss, did something happen to the village?"
Ye Yang lowered his head and did not answer them.
"Old man, please take good care of Er Gou and San Mao for me."
Makarov, realizing something, hurriedly shouted: "Stinky Brat, what are you going to do!"
Ye Yang ignored Makarov's words and disappeared from the Guild in a flash of golden light.
"Oh no, something bad is going to happen!"
Erza and Mirajane rushed forward to ask:
"Grandpa Master, what happened?!"
Makarov knew he couldn't hide it anymore, so he gave the intelligence to the others to read.
Er Gou and San Mao immediately fell to their knees after seeing it.
Seeing the state of Er Gou and San Mao, everyone understood why Ye Yang had gone berserk just now.
Makarov hurriedly shouted: "San Mao! Er Gou! Where is Tata Village!"
The two immediately snapped back to their senses.
"Right, right, Boss can't have anything else happen to him!"
Saying this, Er Gou pulled out a map and pointed to a spot on it.
Makarov immediately shouted: "Erza, Mirajane, and Er Gou, San Mao, follow me!
Everyone else, stay in the Guild and do not act!"
Natsu hurriedly shouted: "Grandpa, we want to go too!"
Gray echoed: "That's right, we also want to help."
Makarov said sternly: "Your strength is not enough; you'll only cause trouble if you go."
After speaking, Makarov left the Guild with the four, and the once lively Guild instantly became quiet.
Under Ye Yang's extreme speed, in less than an hour, Ye Yang arrived at the entrance of Tata Village.
At this moment, Tata Village's houses were dilapidated and desolate.
Just a while ago, they had returned, and it was still a scene of prosperity, with the kind old village chief, diligent uncles, and chatty aunts.
As Ye Yang walked deeper into the village, he saw blood splattered on the walls and dried bloodstains on the ground.
Every scene told him how tragic it had been.
"Wait, where are the bodies?"
"Why are there no bodies?"
"The intelligence the old man gave me just now didn't mention bodies, only that all the people in these villages had disappeared, along with a large amount of blood inside the villages."
"But it didn't mention bodies."
