When they returned to River City, Lei Shuwei took the initiative to escort Ye Chen back to the Tomson Condominiums.
Ye Chen was about to get out of the car when Lei Shuwei thought of something and quickly took out two things from his pocket.
“Mr. Ye, wait a moment. These two things are for you.”
Ye Chen glanced at them and saw that they were two small tokens…
Chief Instructor and General stars.
Ye Chen nodded and casually put it in his pocket.
These worldly possessions were dispensable to him, but might come in handy in dealing with certain situations.
Then, he got out of the car and left.
Lei Shuwei looked at Ye Chen’s disappearing figure and fell into a state of deep thought.
“With him in Huaxia, there’s nothing to fear!”
On the top floor of the Tomson Condominium.
Ye Chen had just opened the door and wanted to check on Sun Yi when a beautiful figure appeared at the door.
“Sun…” Ye Chen swallowed his words. “Ruoxue, you’re back?”
Xia Ruoxue was wearing a light blue dress today, and looked very beautiful..
She glanced at Ye Chen and joked, “Can’t 1 be here? You actually have a Tomson penthouse. Why didn’t you say anything when the three of us were squeezed into such a small apartment? Did you think that you could take advantage of us two girls because it was smaller?”
Ye Chen smiled.
“I just moved in too. You shouldn’t slander me. A man as upright as me would never take advantage of girls.”
“Pfft!”
Xia Ruoxue smiled.
“Fine! I won’t make things difficult for you. By the way, where did you go today? Sun Yi complained that she didn’t see you for the entire afternoon. You went downstairs to buy groceries, but didn’t show up even after a few hours. Fortunately, someone delivered the groceries later. Otherwise, you would definitely have been scolded by Sun Yi later,’” Xia Ruoxue said.
She was obviously in a good mood.
After the birthday party, although her mother had told her a lot, it seemed that she would not be allowed to return to Jiangnan Province for the time being.
The Qin family was the problem. However, it seemed that some important figures of the Qin family had recently gone to the Kunlun Mountains and had not returned yet.
This included the young master of the Qin family. Therefore, things should be fine for the time being.
Ye Chen glanced around and found Sun Yi cooking inside the kitchen. The rich aroma of food could be smelled throughout the house.
There were already a few dishes on the table, and they were all his favorites. Fie swallowed his saliva and replied, “I went to some base to help out.”
Xia Ruoxue nodded and did not think too much about it.
Soon, Sun Yi walked out with the dishes. “What are you two standing around for? It’s time to eat.”
She looked a little flustered and snuck a glance at Ye Chen.
“Alright.”
The three of them sat down.
Ye Chen looked at the dishes in front of him and the two beautiful women beside him. Fie felt that this kind of life was actually not bad.
At the very least, he was not living life on the edge at every moment.
Back in the Kunlun Mountains, even sleeping was a luxury. If he closed his eyes for too long, his life might end before he woke up again.
At the same time, in River City’s martial arts arena.
Three old men stared at the collapsed martial arts platform with serious expressions.
They were the experts dispatched by Tang Ao…
Ma Wei Qi! Su Yuanxiu! Cui Zhen!
All three were stronger than Yuan Jingfu!
From this, it was obvious how much Tang Ao cared about Yuan Jingfu’s death.
“The destruction of the martial arts platform shouldn’t have been caused by Yuan Jingfu. Look at these marks. It was completely shattered from the inside by an extremely powerful force! This kind of power does not seem to be the work of an ancient martial artist.”
Ma Wei Qi frowned.
“Do you mean there are those kinds of people in River City?” Su Yuanxiu asked in surprise.
Cui Zhen, who had been silent all this while, furrowed his brow. He knew what Su Yuanxiu meant by ‘those kinds of people’!
Over the past few years, they had discovered that there were not only ancient martial artists in the martial arts world, but also…
Cultivators!
However, they had never seen one before and had only heard about it.
It was unknown where these people came from, but their techniques were mysterious, and they were also very strong!
Ma Wei Qi shook his head.
“I’m not sure. The possibility is very small. It’s just a conjecture at this point.”
“Judging from the damage done to the martial arts platform, perhaps someone like President Tang could somehow achieve this as well.”
“Could it be the doing of that kid called Ye Chen? According to the investigation, Ye Chen disappeared for five years. That being said, what sort of fortuitous encounters could he have experienced to become strong enough to kill a grandmaster in five years? It’s a little too unbelievable,” Su Yuanxiu said.
Ma Wei Qi stroked his beard and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he opened his eyes and said, “We’ve examined the clues and information, and discovered far too many suspicious points regarding this incidents. The testimonies of the martial artists that were present on the day don’t tally with each other either. Therefore, the only person who can probably tell us the truth is that kid called Ye Chen.”
“President Tang said that if there are no clues, we will shift the blame to that kid anyway. Since that’s the case, let’s start with that kid. I’m really curious though… Does Ye Chen really have the ability to kill so many grandmasters?” “Alright!”
After dinner, Ye Chen felt extremely satisfied.
Since they were too full, Xia Ruoxue and Sun Yi decided to visit a new mall nearby.
Although they had invited Ye Chen, he had rejected them.
Ye Chen was preparing to make a trip to Jiangbei University. Wang Yuheng’s injury should be almost healed by now, and he was wondering how his old friend’s cultivation was progressing. Perhaps it might be good for Wang Yuheng to join Dragon Soul..
