Zhu Rende could guess what was going on. He ignored the pain in his arm and exclaimed, “Old Qin, what you mean is… What’s written on that piece of newspaper isn’t ordinary, right?”
Qin Yuanming finally noticed his gaffe and loosened his grip immediately. He coughed and explained,
“Not ordinary? It’s not just unordinary! It’s a prophecy from the Gods! Zixuan and I have been practicing a cultivation method called the Seven Sun’s Heart method. I got it by chance when I was young, but it was an incomplete cultivation method.
“Subsequently, I met a grandmaster powerhouse. I spent a lot of money on him to help me perfect it in order to make it my current cultivation method. But as I practiced the cultivation method, I found a bigger problem! It was so big that it had affected all of my vital organs!”
When they heard that, Zhu Rende was shocked, and Zhu Zixuan turned as pale as a ghost.
Throughout the practices for the past few days, she had started feeling uneasy but did not bother mentioning it.
Was it the side effects of an incomplete cultivation method?
Qin Yuanming looked toward Zhu Zixuan and tried to comfort her, “Zixuan, don’t worry about it. You’re still young, and you haven’t gone that deep into the training yet. The heart method doesn’t affect you that much. But for me, it’s a bit annoying because there are only two roads I can take. EIther I continue practicing and all my vital organs start to fail from exhaustion, or abolish this practice that I’ve tried to perfect my whole life.”
The more Zhu Rende and Zhu Zixuan heard, the more frightened they became.
Both of them knew of Qin Yuanming’s level of strength. Even though he was not a grandmaster yet, he was the sole protector of the Zhu family from River City.
If anything were to happen to Qin Yuanming, the Zhu family would be affected greatly!
Zhu Rende’s heart grew uncertain. “Does that mean because of the breakthrough you just achieved, your body is now in more danger than before?”
It was at that moment when Qin Yuanming started to laugh heartily!
“On the contrary, my body isn’t in danger. Instead, I’ve just gotten stronger!”
“What?” Both the grandfather and granddaughter became even more confused.
Qin Yuanming carefully held up the newspaper in his hand and asked, “The grandmaster who left this newspaper here, whereabouts is he? Not only did he perfect the Seven Sun’s Heart method, but he also changed the Seven Sun’s Heart method’s direction of flow! If I follow this method of practice, all my previous problems will be solved! Furthermore, the duration of the whole thing will be much shorter! It’s like a prophecy written by God! A grandmaster! This could’ve only been done by a grandmaster!”
Toward the end, Qin Yuanming was exclaiming loudly.
Zhu Rende was shocked to the core when he heard what Qin Yuanming had said! He knew little about martial arts. Previously, when Ye Chen had dealt with Zixuan, he merely looked like a martial arts grandmaster. After having heard it directly from Qin Yuanming, the tables had turned!
The scariest thing was that Ye Chen had figured out the Seven Sun’s Heart method’s direction of flow and formula by merely glancing at Zhu Zixuan’s attack!
It was simply outrageous!
Zhu Zixuan was just as equally dumbfounded. The image of her master who was supposed to be unbeatable had been shattered. Its replacement was the image of an aloof and distant Ye Chen.
All the while, she had thought that Ye Chen was just an asshole! However, the asshole in her eyes had morphed, and he was suddenly the beloved idol whom she looked up to!
‘How could this be?’
‘How could that asshole be a martial arts grandmaster?’
Even though she did not admit it, Ye Chen had become the person who had impacted her entire martial arts career.
…
Grand City Apartments
Ye Chen got a whiff of the delicious aroma of food as soon as he stepped through the door of his home. Soon after, he found Sun Yi in the kitchen busying away as her unfathomable ratio of waist to hips swayed.
“To have a figure like that, a face like that, and most importantly, to be the best cook in the world; the best woman anyone could ask for.”
Ye Chen walked toward the kitchen, and he saw a table that was prepared with scrumptious dishes.
He could not hold it in any longer as he secretly picked up a pair of chopsticks and stole a couple of bites. However, Sun Yi, who was cooking some soup, walked out of the kitchen at once when she noticed his thievery.
“Can you believe this guy? Stealing a few bites right after coming back. Have you paid for the meal yet? Also, where did you run off to earlier this morning? I couldn’t find you even after searching the entire neighborhood.”
Ye Chen licked his chopsticks and smiled cheekily. “I was busy with work. I made almost 100 million this morning.”
Sun Yi rolled her eyes at Ye Chen. She had gotten used to his ostentatious sarcasm.
“Sure, sure. Do you think you’re Wang Jianlin (TN: Wang Jianlin is a Chinese billionaire businessman, politician, and philanthropist.), setting targets here and there? 100 million eh? Is that why you were gone earlier this morning? Your ostentatious sarcasm never ceases to impress me. I’ll applaud you if you manage to earn even a thousand yuan. Enough gabbing, let’s forget about it and start our meal.”
Ye Chen decided to omit the long explanation as well and started to devour the delicious food that had been prepared by Sun Yi.
After some time, Sun Yi remembered something and told Ye Chen, “Don’t wait for me tomorrow night. I may have some things to settle.”
Ye Chen did not think too much about it and nodded his head.
When Ye Chen was almost done with his food, Sun Yi’s phone beeped. Ye Chen glanced at it and noticed that Sun Yi had an incoming call from her father.
“Excuse me, I have to answer a call.”
Sun Yi picked up her phone and then went to the balcony.
After a minute, Sun Yi ran over hurriedly and grabbed her coat along with her car keys before running out the door.
“Don’t wait on me tonight, I’ll be going back to my dad’s to settle something!”
By the time she had finished her sentence, she was gone from Ye Chen’s sight.
Ye Chen stood up and furrowed his eyebrows. Even though he wanted to follow her, he could not. This was because the medicinal herbs would arrive anytime soon.
Moreover, it was a call from home. It had to be a personal issue, so it would be rude for him, an outsider, to intervene.
…
Ten minutes to three in the afternoon.
Ye Chen followed the address on the key to find the place Shen Haihua had given him.
At first, he thought that Shen Haihua had given him an ordinary 100-square-meter place. Little did he know, it was a place at the Great Tomson luxury condominium just beside Grand City Apartments!
It was not just a simple 100-square-meter place! It was a penthouse!
Close to a thousand-square-meters!
The main point was that it was on the top floor, an execute suite!
‘What’s this supposed to mean?’
Ye Chen could not comprehend what was happening.
It could be said that Great Tomson was the dream of every River City citizen.
Ye Chen vaguely recalled the time he drove past Great Tomson with Sun Yi a few days ago. Sun Yi had lamented, “How nice would it be if I could live here? Even if it was only for one night, I’d be satisfied. But that’s just a dream with my current salary. I’ll never be able to afford a place here, not in this lifetime.”
At that time, Ye Chen had jokingly said that he would buy her a place there, after earning enough money.
Little did he know that the place they dreamed of would come right at once.
The moment Ye Chen opened the door, he had expected luxurious decor. However, he was still shocked by the interior of the place when he stepped inside.
It was grand, luxurious, and magnificent. It had a small scale swimming pool with temperature control, marble facade from top to bottom, and the entire kitchen alone was nearly 90 square meters.
“Is this how it feels like to be rich?”
Ye Chen stood in front of the french window floor and the view overlooked almost all of River City.
He saw Grand City Apartments which was filled with laughter and joy with Sun Yi.
He saw the Ye family mansion that was once prosperous, now decaying.
He saw Cloud Lake Manor that was a nightmare five years ago.
He saw Sky Stone Mountain where the bones of his parents were buried.
He clenched his fists, and a frightening aura arose from his body.
It was the emotions that he had cooped up ever since five years ago!
“Tomorrow is the death anniversary of my parents. I should go and visit them.
“Mom and dad, don’t worry. I’ll avenge your death. I’m no longer the weak Ye Chen that I was five years ago. I have risen from the dead. I promise, when the fateful night comes, I’ll single-handedly bring that man’s head to the front of your grave…
“I, Ye Chen, will make River City crumble beneath my feet. All of Huaxia will surrender to me!”
