He had already given Ye Chen and Jiang Rong a way out, yet this kid had completely disregarded his olive branch.
This kid wanted to establish the Ye family into some sort of faction? With just the two of them?
Dream on!
The top martial arts familiesâ foundation and strength had been accumulated for over thousands of years, yet this kid actually wanted to compete with them in a month?
How arrogant!
As if sensing Old Master Jiangâs anger, an old man said, âOld Master, Ye Chen is too arrogant. He actually wants to establish the Ye family in Capital City. What a joke! Do you want us to kill him, Old Master?â
Old Master Jiang did not say anything, but the aura he exuded betrayed his anger.
Seeing this, Jiang Jianfeng hurriedly said, âDad, Ye Chen was just saying that out of anger. Give me a day and Iâll persuade him. Heâll definitely be willing to hand over the martial arts techniques!â
Jiang Jianfeng was really impressed by Ye Chen, but why did he not cherish such a good opportunity?
Although the old manâs request was a little excessive, after all, martial techniques were a martial artistâs secret, but was there not still room for negotiation?
Why did Ye Chen reject the friendly overture outright?
Old Master Jiang glanced at Jiang Jianfeng and finally said, âSuch an arrogant person! I want to see what he can do in a month! I donât even know whether he can even survive for three days!â
âJianfeng, Iâll give you one day. If Ye Chen doesnât come to the family residence by five oâclock tomorrow afternoon to hand over his martial arts techniques and apologize, youâll have to bear the consequences!â
Jiang Jianfengâs expression changed slightly and he nodded repeatedly. âDad, Ye Chen will definitely come. Donât worry.â
âHmph!â
Old Master Jiang snorted coldly. With a wave of his sleeves, he headed straight into the main residence.
Capital City University, teachersâ apartments.
Jiang Rong poured Ye Chen a glass of water, not knowing what to say.
After all, Ye Chen had given her too much of a shock.
After thinking for a long time, she still asked with concern, âLittle Chen, are you injured?â
Ye Chen shook his head.
âMom, donât worry. Those people canât hurt me.
Jiang Rong wanted to say something, but in the end held herself back. Ye Chen saw his motherâs hesitation and asked, âMom, will you blame me for giving up the chance to return to the Jiang family just now?
This was what Ye Chen was most worried about. After all, he knew that the Jiang family meant a lot to his mother. He had undoubtedly shattered his motherâs hopes of returning home.
Jiang Rong sat on the sofa and said seriously, âLittle Chen, I donât blame you. Instead, I support you. The Jiang family is really not that important to me anymore. After all, weâve not been in contact for many years, and their actions have completely cut us off from the family.â
âIf that person asked us to go home without any strings attached, I might have accepted it. However, I was wrong. That person hasnât changed at all in the past 20 years. In his eyes, thereâs no such thing as blood and kinship.â
âFor martial artists, cultivation techniques and martial techniques are a martial artistâs lifeblood. Heâs asking for so much. Even if you agreed, I would
have refused.â
When Ye Chen heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. Having his mother s support meant the world to him.
âHowever, Little Chen, werenât you a little impulsive when you said those words just now?âJiang Rong decided to broach the topic.
âYouâre very strong. Thereâs no doubt about that. However, establishing a family is not so easyâŠâ
Jiang Rong was born in a major family, so although she did not like to cultivate, she was still very clear about some things.
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and said seriously, âMom, I wasnât joking. Youâll see in a month. Our family doesnât need the protection of the Jiang family!â Jiang Rong was still a little worried, and she had countless questions in her heart, such asâŠ
Where did Little Chenâs martial strength come from?
Where did he go when he disappeared for five years?
What was that elixir?
For the first time, she felt that her son seemed a little unfamiliar. He was dazzlingly different from the child she knew.
Ye Chen naturally sensed her doubt and apprehension. He would explain everything, but not now.
He put down the glass of water in his hand and stared at his mother and asked, âMom why did you go to the Jiang family today? If Iâm not wrong, it should have something to do with Dad, right? He didnât return to River City, did he?â Hearing this, Jiang Rongâs eyes flickered, which confirmed Ye Chenâs suspicions.
âMom, you know how strong I am now. Instead of begging the Jiang family for help, why donât we rely on ourselves? Tell me, where did Dad go?â
Jiang Rong clenched her fists tightly and was sweating. After thinking for a few seconds, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
âLittle Chen, I can tell you, but donât act rashly before youâre completely prepared! Can you agree to this? If you agree, Iâll tell you the truth.â
âI agree.â Ye Chen nodded.
âAlright. Actually, after we left the Ghost Prison, Lin Juelong appeared and took your father away. He said that he wanted to get something from him.â As soon as Jiang Rong finished speaking, Ye Chenâs murderous aura swept out, and his spiritual pressure even caused the wall behind him to start cracking!
Lin Juelong!
It was Lin Juelong again!
He had not settled the old score regarding the Cloud Lake Manor incident back then, yet this fellow still dared to make a move at this time!
His heart was burning with rage!
Sensing her sonâs anger, Jiang Rong quickly explained, âLittle Chen, donât worry. Your father is definitely of great value to the Lin family, so they wonât harm your father rashly. The most important thing now is to find out where your father is!â
Hearing this, Ye Chen fell into deep thought. Then, he took out his phone and called Ye Lingtian. Ye Lingtian had been monitoring Haide Park for a day, but unfortunately there was still no news.
Lin Juelong seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.
Ye Chen was a little annoyed and called Lei Shuwei. He only said, âLei Shuwei, Lin Juelong took my father away. I must know his whereabouts at all costs!â
On the other end of the line, Lei Shuwei was stunned. This was the first time he had heard Ye Chen speak in such a serious tone. He immediately replied, âMr. Ye, the location of the Lin familyâs residence is a secret. I really donât know. However, I know someone who definitely knows.â
âWho is it?â Ye Chen said excitedly.
âThat old man. He has access to more information. If you want to know, youâll have to go see him..â
