Wang Yuheng clenched his fists and made up his mind. Originally, cultivation was merely something he wanted to do, but now, it was essential to keep his family safe.
This incident had proven that. Thus, he made up his mind to become stronger, and set Ye Chen as his goal.
Ye Chen chatted with them for a while. As Uncle Wang and Auntie Zhang were still in shock from what had happened today, Ye Chen asked Dragon Soul to escort them back.
Wang Yuheng and his family returned to River City, while Shen Haihua stayed in Jiangnan Province. He would only return to Jiangcheng after his injuries healed completely.
Soon, only Zhu Ya and Ye Chen were left in the room.
Just as Ye Chen was about to leave, Zhu Ya said, “Is Mr. Ye is still interested in the material for the Xuan Shattering Sword?”
She had changed the way she addressed him because of what she witnessed today. From her perspective, he deserved her respect.
Ye Chen was stunned. He turned around and glanced at Zhu Ya.
“Have you changed your mind?”
“Now that the sword has become Mr. Ye’s treasured weapon, our Zhu family naturally won’t ask you to part with it. Since the material is useless without the sword, we might as well give it to Mr. Ye.”
Ye Chen stared at Zhu Ya with interest.
He knew very well that this was due to his display of strength. After all, that was how the cultivation and the martial arts world worked. As long as you were strong, others would go the extra mile to please you.
“What does your family want in return?”
There was no free lunch in this world.
Zhu Ya simply smiled and said, “Mr. Ye, what are you saying? Our Zhu family doesn’t need anything from you. It’s only natural for the Xuan Shattering Sword to have a fitting user. That alone is enough to satisfy its creator.”
Ye Chen nodded. He could not help but admire Zhu Ya’s decision.
“By the way, Mr. Ye, what else do you need? My Zhu family has the best swordsmithing materials and tools in the entire country. If you are interested, we can provide you with more than just materials…”
“Why don’t you visit us tomorrow, Mr. Ye?”
Zhu Ya’s eyes were filled with anticipation.
Ye Chen thought about it and agreed. It would save him the trouble of sending Ye Lingtian to look for materials.
Moreover, once the Dragonslayer Sword was restored, he would be able to deal with Fang Zhongxin. That was the difference one sword could make!
Zhu Ya was surprised that he accepted, but quickly said, “Then I’ll await your arrival tomorrow, Mr. Ye.”
After sending Zhu Ya off, Ye Chen called Ye Lingtian and asked him to send Sun Yi back to the villa.
Right now, it was impossible that those forces in Jiangnan Province would dare to touch Sun Yi!
Why did he insist on killing Tang Ao in front of so many people today? He wanted to intimidate everyone!
He wanted to send a signal that since Tang Ao had dared to touch the people around him, the punishment was death, and in the most horrible way possible!
At this moment, Ye Chen looked out of the window. He realized that the structure of the Cloud Lake Manor in Jiangnan Province was exactly the same as it had been in the past in River City.
Recalling the scene from that incident five years ago, he was filled with emotions.
There was still no news about Chief Long, and even the whereabouts of his parents remained unknown.
The only clue was Jiang Jianfeng, who was ranked ninth on Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings.
However, it would be extremely difficult to find someone like Jiang Jianfeng unless the other party took the initiative to seek him out.
“What exactly was the motive behind that incident back then? Why did they target my family?”
At that moment, Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed. His senses were tingling.
There was a pair of cold eyes staring at him from afar.
The gaze was filled with disdain, coldness, and a hint of surprise. Ye Chen did not hesitate and jumped down from the third floor. When he arrived at the spot he had traced the gaze to, there was nothing there!
Ye Chen fell into a state of deep thought.
Three hours later, in a quiet courtyard in the capital.
Jiang Jianfeng was playing Go with an old man in the courtyard.
His attitude was extremely respectful.
Jiang Jianfeng smiled and said, “Dad, why did you suddenly come here to see me?”
The old man stroked his beard and placed a white stone. His aged voice rang out, “Is there a problem with me visiting my son?”
“Dad, you know that’s not what 1 meant. Of course there’s no problem. But I guess you’re here to see the results of my cultivation.”
The old man nodded. “On the path of cultivation, remember not to be impatient. Among all my children, other than your eldest brother who entered the Kunlun Mountains, you are the most talented…”
“Back then, when the talent test was conducted, wasn’t she…”
Jiang Jianfeng’s words were cut off once the name was mentioned.
He looked at the old man in front of him, and realized that his father’s face had completely darkened!
The old man slammed his palm on the board. Not only did the board shatter, but even the stone platform below broke.
“I will never admit that she is my daughter,” the old man stood up and said coldly.
“She didn’t obey our family’s rules and rashly married a nobody! She even gave birth to that bastard! She tarnished the Jiang family’s bloodline!”
“I will never acknowledge that family of three! They will never have the right to return to the Jiang family!”
“Enough! I don’t want to talk about them anymore. I’m leaving. I’ll come back to find you in a month.”
Just as the old man was about to leave, the door to the courtyard was pushed open.
A lean man rushed in. “Mr. Jiang, something happened in Jiangnan Province. Something big happened. Ye Chen…”
When he saw the old man, the lean man’s voice stopped abruptly.
He swallowed and asked in a trembling voice, “Master… You… Why are you here?”
The old man ignored the lean man. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something.
He looked at the lean man and asked, “What did you just say? Ye Chen?”
Jiang Jianfeng also walked over and explained, “Dad, there’s something that you might not know. The kid who was supposed to have drowned back then is not dead. He is back..”
