âIâm not blaming you. You donât have to be so nervous,â Ye Chen said.
âThank you for your understanding, Mr. Ye,â Zhu Ya smiled and said.
âAlright, since the sword has been reforged, I wonât stay here any longer. This time, I owe your Zhu family a favor. If you need anything, you can seek me out,â Ye Chen said.
Now that the Dragonslayer Sword was complete, Ye Chen was in a good mood. The assistance he received was indeed well-worth a favor.
Hearing this, Zhu Yaâs eyes revealed traces of excitement.
At the same time, she recalled that time at the coffee shop, she had ridiculously promised Ye Chen a favor from the Zhu family. The value of the two favors really could not be compared.
Ye Chen suddenly thought of something and said to Zhu Ya, âI hope that no one will know about what happened today. Can you guarantee that?â
Zhu Ya nodded her head vigorously.
âMr. Ye, donât worry. Elder He and I wonât tell anyone about this!ââ
Ye Chen nodded and headed outside. He dialed Xiao Dengâs number and asked him to pick him up at the Zhu familyâs residence.
Soon, Xiao Dengâs car arrived, and Ye Chen got in. However, he did not choose to return to the villa. Instead, he asked Xiao Deng to take him to the Wu familyâs residence first.
Wu Xiangmingâs injuries should have more or less recovered, but he needed to check anyway.
When he arrived, he found Wu Xiangming practicing his fist techniques. Seeing the latterâs vigorous movements, it almost seemed that he had been reborn.
âHe recovered so quickly?â Ye Chen muttered.
He was a little surprised. It seemed that the effect of his medicinal pill was better than he expected.
Upon hearing Ye Chenâs voice, Wu Xiangming quickly stopped what he was doing and rushed over.
He greeted respectfully, âWu Xiangming greets Mr. Ye.â
âGive me your wrist and let me examine your injuries,â Ye Chen instructed.
âYes, Mr. Ye,â Wu Xiangming said excitedly.
Ye Chen examined Wu Xiangmingâs pulse for a while and found that the latterâs injuries were recovering very well. Under the effect of the medicinal pill, even his broken bones were mending.
âNot bad. It seems that Wu Xinlan has been taking good care of you.â
âSheâs really helped me during this period of time. Sheâs cultivating inside now. Should 1 ask her to come out and see Mr. Ye?â
âThereâs no need for that.â
Ye Chen took out twenty pills from his pocket and said seriously, âThese pills are still the same as before. Iâll give you a goal. Within two months, reach the top 150 of Huaxiaâs grandmaster rankings. Can you do it?â
When Wu Xiangming heard this, his pupils shrank. This would have been impossible for the old him, but with Mr. Yeâs cultivation technique and pills, the impossible became possible.
Wu Xiangming gritted his teeth, cupped his fists and vowed, âMr. Ye, I will do it!â
âAlright, stay here for the next few days. Contact me when your injuries are completely healed.â
Ye Chen then left the Wu familyâs residence, and was about to get into the car when he heard the sound of something whistling through the air in his direction.
His eyes narrowed, and a wind blade shot out from his hand.
When the wind blade collided with the flying object, there was an explosion!
To his surprise, the flying object was actually a leaf.
He could also use leaves to hurt people, and had done so in the past, but in Jiangnan Province, he had not seen many people who could replicate that feat.
It seemed that an expert had come to find him.
Ye Chenâs first reaction was that it was someone from Huaxiaâs Martial Arts Department.
Although he had agreed to fight with Fang Zhongxin in the martial arts arena, he could not rule out a sneak attack from them. After all, he did not have a good impression of the Martial Arts Department.
Xiao Deng, who was in the driverâs seat, also noticed something at this point. He took out a weapon, and was about to come out of the car when Ye Chen spoke.
âXiao Deng, stay in the car. Iâll take care of the things out here.â
âMr. Ye, do I need to inform Dragon Soul?â
âI can handle this minor matter myself.â
Xiao Deng nodded. He trusted Mr. Ye. After all, the latterâs title of Chief Instructor of Dragon Soul was not just for show.
With that, Ye Chen walked toward the direction where the leaf had flown from; a tree-lined street beside the Wu familyâs residence.
The surroundings were quiet, and he soon spotted a middle-aged man standing in the distance with his back to him.
Ye Chen stared at the middle-aged man with interest. He was sure that he had never seen this person before.
âWhy did you attack me?â
Ye Chen asked, his tone unwavering.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man laughed loudly.
âI was just curious about how terrifying the Hunter who made countless forces in Jiangnan Province tremble in fear was. You didnât disappoint me.â
âDid Huaxiaâs Martial Arts Department send you here?â
Ye Chenâs gaze remained indifferent.
The middle-aged man shook his head, his back still facing Ye Chen.
âIf I was sent by Huaxiaâs Martial Arts Department, do you think I would take the time to converse with you?â
âHowever, you probably wonât live for more than two days. Fang Zhongxinâs strength far exceeds yours. This isnât an exaggeration, but the truth.â
âYe Chen, I admit that youâre very strong. Your strength far surpasses the rest of the younger generation in Jiangnan Province, but you donât know how to restrain yourself. Youâre too arrogant.â
âIâve seen too many people with that attitude, and thereâs only one outcome in the end, and thatâs premature death!â
The middle-aged manâs voice was cold.
âAre you done? If youâre here to spout nonsense, then get lost before I kill you.â
The middle-aged man turned around. He was wearing a hideous black mask which hid his face from view.
Ye Chenâs eyes narrowed once he noticed that the middle-aged man was holding a dart in his hand, which was emblazoned with the image of a bloody plum!
Ye Chen took a step forward and placed his hands behind his back.
âDid Xuemei Palace send you to kill me?â
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, âThe assassins of Xuemei Palace wonât bother talking so much. However, since youâve recognized that I come from Xuemei Palace, I donât have to waste my breath on the matter. I asked you to come and see me yesterday, why didnât you come?â
Ye Chen immediately realized that the middle-aged man in front of him was the leader of Jiangnan Provinceâs branch of Xuemei Palace, Ling Feng!
He did not expect that this person would actually take the initiative to seek him out.
âDo I have to see you just because youâre Ling Feng? Ridiculous!â
After Ye Chen finished speaking, he turned around and left.
However, after Ye Chen took three steps, a cold voice rang out from behind him.
âIf I were to tell the people in Capital City that you offended Xuemei Palace, do you think you can still live a peaceful life?â
âEven if youâre not bothered by it, you should think about the people around you, such as Xia Ruoxue or Sun Yi.â
Ye Chen stopped in his tracks.
A murderous aura surged from within his body. He turned around and shot out a cold glare at Ling Feng.
âAre you threatening me? I hate threats, I hate them very much..â
