Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It had all happened so quickly!
The Qin family’s expert who had yet to make a move was utterly shocked.
He looked as if he had seen a ghost!
He had thought that his companion would be able to beat this kid easily with one move, but the opposite had happened…
This kid had killed a Qin family expert who had entered Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings in one move!
His body trembled slightly as he stared at Ye Chen, and he subconsciously took a few steps back. Based on what he saw, he stood no chance!
At this moment, Ye Chen raised his head. His gaze was like a sharp sword as he said, “Come forward and die!”
The eyes of this Qin family expert were filled with fear!
What else could he do? He had no choice but to step forward.
However, when he was one meter away from Ye Chen…
Plop!
He knelt down!
The Qin family of Jiangnan Province had a certain rule, which was that as long as they were from the Qin family, they could not kneel to anyone other than members of the Qin family!
However, at this point, this person did not care.
If he knelt, he might die in the future. If he did not kneel now, he would die now!
“Sir…”
He did not dare to look up at Ye Chen, afraid that he might accidentally offend this fierce god further.
Ye Chen looked down at him and asked, “Where is the Qin family’s residence?”
The man blurted out, “The Qin family’s residence is some distance away from here. It’s called the Nanqin Villa in Jiangnan Province. Go up the mountain road to the south of Jiangnan Province and walk 500 meters.”
He did not know what Ye Chen wanted with the information. Was this guy planning to attack the Qin family?
“Is your young master present at home?” Ye Chen continued.
That person shook his head repeatedly.
“Sir, at this moment, the Qin family has mobilized all of their forces to invite a certain person to leave the mountain. We just returned from Mount Emei a few days ago, but failed to get what we wanted. These few days, we received news about that person. The old master, a few young masters, and some core figures of the Qin family have all left for Mount Kunlun.”
“Dozens of people have set off this time, which is a show of our Qin family’s sincerity. The Old Master once said that as long as the Qin family succeeds in inviting this person to become the patron of the Qin family, the Qin family will definitely become the number one martial arts family in Jiangnan Province.”
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes.
The Qin family actually went to Mount Kunlun? In that case, that meant that the person they invited was likely from the Kunlun Mountains.
Ye Chen’s understanding of Mount Kunlun far surpassed that of everyone else.
With the Qin family’s power and influence, it was impossible for them to have the qualifications to step into the Kunlun Mountains.
Therefore, it was most likely an expert from the Kunlun Mountains. Even if it was not, it was still very dangerous, as there were also cultivators there who had been expelled from the Kunlun Mountains for various reasons. These experts were extraordinarily strong, and might even surpass him!
However, these people were cold and arrogant, indifferent to fame and fortune. The Qin family would have to offer enough attractive conditions in order for these people to even consider leaving the mountain.
That being said, this meant that it was useless for him to head to Nanqin Manor now, as he would only end up killing some servants.
“Do you know when the Qin family will return?” Ye Chen asked.
The Qin family expert shook his head like a rattle-drum.
“Sir, my status in the Qin family is average at best. How would 1 know such information? However, based on their trip to Mount Emei, it would take at least half a month…”
“Got it. Now, do you want to commit suicide or do I have to do it myself?”
Ye Chen looked at him coldly.
The expert from the Qin family was stunned. He thought that the other party would spare his life if he told them these things. That way, he could inform Young Master Qin and ask the Qin family to send experts back to Jiangnan Province to kill this kid.
He did not expect this kid to be so ruthless. Clearly, the latter had no intention of leaving him alive from the beginning.
A strong sense of survival filled his mind as he pulled out a dagger from his waist and tried to stab Ye Chen’s chest!
Ye Chen sneered and reached out to grab the dagger, closing his five fingers over the sharp edge of the dagger.
However, not a single drop of blood flowed out.
The Qin family expert was stunned.
Before he could react, Ye Chen’s arm shook and the man’s wrist broke.
Ye Chen then took a step forward and sliced the man’s neck with his own dagger.
Puchi!
Blood erupted like a fountain, and the man’s terrified eyes gradually lost their light.
After that, Ye Chen left the garden and asked Xiao Deng to deal with the corpses, and headed over to Xia Ruoxue’s room. However, when he entered the villa again, he noticed that Xia Ruoxue was in the living room, accompanied by a dignified middle-aged man.
Xia Hongye!
When Xia Hongye received the news of Ye Chen’s arrival from the villa guards, he rushed back. When he saw Ye Chen, he looked at him with a complicated expression.
“Ruoxue, go back to your room,” Xia Hongye ordered.
“Dad! I’m not going back.”
Xia Ruoxue did not hesitate to stand beside Ye Chen to protect him.
On the other hand, Ye Chen smiled and looked relieved. He said to her, “Ruoxue, go back to your room. I promise you that I’ll come up in five minutes.”
Xia Hongye was not a threat to him at all.
Moreover, Xia Hongye’s gaze just now did not contain hostility, but rather pity.
Xia Ruoxue glanced at Ye Chen and bit her lips. She eventually nodded and quickly disappeared from the living room, leaving the two of them behind.
“You’re Ye Chen, right? Have a seat.”
Xia Hongye brewed two cups of tea and placed one cup opposite him.
Ye Chen nodded and sat on the sofa.
Xia Hongye glanced at Ye Chen. He realized that this kid did not show any signs of inferiority or weakness in front of him. He was extraordinary.
Were it not for the Qin family, perhaps he would really be willing to give Ye Chen a chance.
Xia Hongye took a sip of tea and went straight to the point. “You should be aware of Ruoxue and Qin Zhengyang’s marriage arrangement, right?”
“Yes.”
“You should be aware of the Qin family’s background and strength, right?”
“Yes.”
“I know about your Heavenly Justice Group and your martial strength. You defeated Yuan Jingfu, which would put you around the 350th rank or higher on Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings.”
“I have to admit that you’re a young man with great potential. However, do you know Qin Zhengyang’s position on the rankings?”
Ye Chen did not say anything. His gaze was indifferent.
Xia Hongye shook his head. He did not know how Ye Chen could still be so fearless. He put down his teacup and said solemnly, “Since you don’t know, let me tell you. Qin Zhengyang is one of the top ten martial arts geniuses of Jiangnan Province.. Just a few days ago, he killed an expert and rose to the 199th rank on Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings! The gap between you and him is like heaven and earth!”
