When the old man heard Jiang Jianfeng’s words, his body trembled, and an expression of surprise appeared on his face.
However, that surprise was fleeting and well hidden.
“That vile spawn actually didn’t die?”
“So what if he isn’t dead,” he snorted coldly, “Back then, he was a good-for-nothing who disgraced the Jiang family. Even if he’s alive now, he’s probably eking out a meager existence in some remote corner of the world. He will never become anyone of note!”
Just as he was about to leave, Jiang Jianfeng said, “Dad, he became a martial artist after disappearing for five years.”
“Unfortunately, he offended Tang Ao, an expert from Jiangnan Province. He’s probably dead now.”
Jiang Jianfeng looked at the lean man and said confidently, “If I’m not wrong, this should be why you are here. If that kid is dead, then so be it. There’s no need for you to panic.”
When the old man heard that Ye Chen was dead, complicated emotions flashed across his eyes. He shook his head and walked out of the door.
When he heard about this family, he would always feel anger bubbling over in his heart.
The lean man had a strange expression on his face. He looked at Jiang Jianfeng and said, “Mr. Jiang, that’s not the case at all. Not only is he alive, but he also killed Tang Ao! That kid even beheaded Tang Ao in front of Huaxia’s Martial Arts Department at Cloud Lake Manor!”
The lean man almost lost his composure when he said this. At that time, he was among the guests and was prepared to watch Ye Chen die.
After all, Tang Ao’s had made every preparation possible to deal with Ye Chen. It should have been impossible for him to survive!
However, when he saw Ye Chen single-handedly kill four top-notch grandmasters, and then crush Tang Ao with overwhelming force, he was truly shocked!
For some reason, he felt threatened, as even he could not accomplish that feat so easily!
Hearing the lean man’s words, the old man stopped in his tracks.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he turned around and sat on a stone bench.
“Tell me everything that happened to this bastard in Jiangnan Province! Do not leave out a single detail!”
The lean man looked at the old man and quickly knelt down. He then told him everything that happened at Cloud Lake Manor in Jiangnan Province today.
Ten minutes later, the entire courtyard fell silent. Even the air seemed to freeze.
A few seconds later, Jiang Jianfeng asked, “In other words, this child’s martial talent is pretty good, is that right?”
The lean man hesitated for a few seconds before nodding.
“Judging from his display of strength, he’s probably close to the top 100 of Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings…”
“As for talent, I can’t say for sure. The martial techniques that he used were very strong, but I noticed that the broken sword in his hand was overflowing with spiritual energy. It’s very likely that that guy can control a spiritual sword!”
Jiang Jianfeng was a little surprised.
“This bastard disappeared for five years. Where did he go? How did he end up becoming so strong?”
“Dad, do you think I should go and pay him a visit? He probably doesn’t know about the existence of the Jiang family yet. However, my subordinates recently discovered that he is using every means possible to investigate the incident back then…”
The old man stood up and his aura swept out. He said indifferently, “Hmph! There was no need for that. He hasn’t even reached the top 100 ranks. His achievements thus far are only due to our family’s strong bloodline. If his mother had been obedient back then and agreed to the marriage arrangement, perhaps she would have given birth to a proper martial arts genius!”
“However, she insisted on going against my wishes and secretly married that useless boy and gave birth to this bastard!”
“Jianfeng, with his current strength, he’s not worthy of being related to the Jiang family! That will have to wait until the day he enters the top ten of Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings!”
“This matter ends here!”
Jiang Jianfeng nodded and did not say anything else. He could tell that his father was angry.
After all, who would have thought that the kid they looked down on the most back then would actually return like this?
That kid might still be very insignificant now, but he had to admit that he was beginning to show signs of becoming a threat to the Jiang family.
Mingcui Villa.
When Ye Chen returned and went to the living room, Sun Yi had yet to return. After calling Ye Lingtian, he realized that she was still on her way, and would only arrive in about ten minutes.
Ye Chen was a little hungry, so he went over to raid the fridge for something to eat. As soon as he opened the fridge door, he noticed the sound of footsteps behind him.
He did not even need to look to figure out who the other party was.
“Lu Hanshuang, Should I arrange a room for you here? Can’t you knock on the door?”
Ye Chen closed the fridge door, an apple in hand. After washing it, he started munching as he sat on the sofa and stared at the girl in front of him.
Lu Hanshuang looked at Ye Chen in surprise, trying to glean some information from his expression.
“You killed Tang Ao?” Lu Hanshuang’s question sounded uncertain.
Although she knew that this was the truth, she still wanted to hear Ye Chen admit it personally.
After a long while, she said, “This matter has blown up. Even though I’m in Xuemei Palace, I’ve heard your name no less than a hundred times today.”” “How did you kill Tang Ao?”
Ye Chen shrugged. “If I told you my hand slipped, would you believe me?””
“Pfft!”
Lu Hanshuang actually smiled, which surprised Ye Chen.
He had only seen Lu Hanshuang’s cold, expressionless face, so this was a welcome change in scenery.
Ahem!
Lu Hanshuang regained her usual frostiness and said, “To be honest, you’re the first one who dares to disregard Huaxia’s Martial Arts Department like that.”
Ye Chen sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.
“You definitely didn’t come to my house today to spout nonsense, right? I’m going to cultivate. You still have three seconds to get to the point.”
Lu Hanshuang bit her red lips and said, “The matter of you killing an expert from Xuemei Palace can’t be suppressed anymore. Come with me to Xuemei Palace tomorrow. Someone wants to see you.”
“Who is it?” Ye Chen opened his eyes.
“The leader of the Jiangnan Province branch of Xuemei Palace, Ling Feng!”
“Who does he think he is? 1 can’t be bothered to meet him!”
After saying that, Ye Chen closed his eyes and entered a state of cultivation..
