“Get up. Although this was just a sparring session, I didn’t hold back too much. You are pretty strong,” Ye Chen praised.
He took out a pill and handed it to Ye Lingtian.
“You should feel better after taking this pill.”
“Thank you, Hall Master.”
Ye Lingtian took the pill and consumed it immediately, after which he could feel his injuries recovering, and his strength increasing.
Just as he was about to speak, Ye Chen said, “Give me a pen and paper, and arrange for a quiet place. I’ll give you something good.”
Ye Lingtian’s eyes lit up and he quickly said, “Yes, Hall Master.”
Ye Chen honestly cared more about Ye Lingtian than Wu Xiangming. After all, the former was the leader of an entire faction. The stronger Ye Lingtian was, the more terrifying the element of surprise would be when he and his forces made their appearance!
Therefore, what he needed to do now was to strengthen Ye Lingtian! The expert from the first tombstone, Luo Yuntian, had given him many martial arts techniques, all of which suited Ye Lingtian’s domineering style!
Ye Lingtian then brought him to a secret office, where he wrote down two martial arts techniques and one cultivation technique before handing it to Ye Lingtian.
“Study these from now on. If there’s something you don’t understand, you can call me,” Ye Chen said.
Ye Lingtian glanced at the three booklets in his hands with bloodshot eyes. He was well aware of how valuable these three booklets were and what they meant for his own strength.
“Also, you are no longer an ancient martial arts practitioner. Remember, you are a cultivator. As for the division of realms, I have already written it down. Body Tempering Realm, Soul Opening Realm, Qi Transformation Realm, Unity Realm, True Soul Realm, and Immortal Realm. Each of these six realms is divided into nine levels!”
“There are some similarities between ancient martial arts and cultivation, so you don’t need to start from scratch. Your current cultivation level should be around the qi transforming realm, though it’s not very stable. If you stabilize it, you’ll become even stronger!”
Ye Chen took out another twenty pills and handed them to Ye Lingtian.
“Hall Master…”
Ye Lingtian did not know what to say. He felt ashamed to accept such precious items.
Ye Chen smiled.
“You’re my right-hand man and a comrade that 1 care about. If you’re strong, your faction will be strong. Jiangnan Province is too small a stage. What you have to do is to strengthen yourself and lead your faction to Capital City. If we want to conquer Huaxia, we would not be able to do so with our current strength.”
“I understand, Hall Master!”
When Ye Lingtian heard Ye Chen’s words, he clenched his fists tightly and his eyes shone with determination.
Ye Chen left after giving him a few more instructions.
After leaving the Hidden Dragon Building, he wanted to call Xiao Deng, but he found an unread message on his phone.
He opened it and realized that Xia Ruoxue had sent him a set of coordinates half an hour ago. The coordinates were for Jiangnan Province’s Hospital.
Earlier at the Xia family’s residence, Ye Chen had mentioned that he wanted to visit her grandmother and asked Xia Ruoxue to send him the coordinates when she arrived at the hospital. The other party had obviously done so.
Thus, Xia Ruoxue should be in the hospital now.
Ye Chen quickly hailed a taxi and went straight to the hospital.
Ten minutes later, in the VIP ward area of the Jiangnan Province’s Hospital.
Ye Chen brought some fruits to the ward and saw Xia Ruoxue and her mother, Ding Wan, there.
Ding Wan looked a little haggard. She no longer displayed the arrogance she had in the past, and had dark circles under her eyes. It was obvious that she had not slept well for some time.
“Mom, Ye Chen is here to see Grandma,” Xia Ruoxue said softly, afraid that her mother would get angry.
Unexpectedly, Ding Wan did not kick up a fuss at all. She simply glanced at Ye Chen and nodded.
“Thank you.”
Ye Chen put down the basket of fruits and looked at the old woman on the bed.
Back at the banquet, he had taken note of Xia Ruoxue’s grandmother. She didn’t have any major health issues then, and logically speaking, she was not supposed to have any health complications anytime soon.
However, he now realized that she was on the verge of death and could die at any moment!
Ye Chen frowned. He reached out to feel the old woman’s pulse.
Seeing this scene, Xia Ruoxue and her mother were stunned. What was this guy doing?
Taking her pulse?
Although Xia Ruoxue had been with Ye Chen for many days, she was unaware of his medical prowess.
“What are you doing?” Ding Wan’s expression was rather flustered.
After all, the doctor had told her not to let anyone touch the body, lest something happen.
Ye Chen ignored her. A cold glint gradually appeared in his eyes.
He knew where the problem lay!
The old woman was not sick at all. Instead, someone had used a special energy to seal her vitality, turning her into a living corpse!
No matter how good the hospital’s equipment was, it would not be able to detect or diagnose this kind of evil technique.
Ye Chen released his grip on Xia Ruoxue’s grandmother’s wrist and looked at Ding Wan. He asked seriously, “Who was the last person she came into contact with before she fainted?”
Ding Wan was stunned and her face turned pale. The first person she thought of was Qin Zhengyang!
However, if she said it out loud, Xia Ruoxue would definitely become more resistant to marrying Qin Zhengyang. Based on Ruoxue’s personality, she would definitely do her best to break off the engagement with the Qin family!
Thus, she could only shake her head.
“I’ve always been by her side. She… She didn’t come into contact with anyone.”
“Auntie, do you still have to lie at a time like this?” Ye Chen sneered. “Not only is she Xia Ruoxue’s grandmother, but she’s also your mother!”
“If you tell me the reason, I can save her.”
His tone was filled with confidence.
Ding Wan’s eyes widened and her body trembled. She grabbed Ye Chen’s hand.
“You… What did you say? You can save her?”
Xia Ruoxue was also surprised.
She knew that Ye Chen’s martial arts skills were formidable, but she had never heard of this guy being good at medicine!
“I am a man of my word, provided that you tell me the real reason behind her current condition,” Ye Chen said.
Xia Ruoxue looked at her mother and asked, “Mom, is Grandma really in this state because of something else?”
She had felt that something was wrong, but her mother kept saying that there was something wrong with her grandmother’s health, so she did not pursue it. After all, her grandmother was already old.
At that moment, Ding Wan was staring at Ye Chen. Then, she chose to believe Ye Chen’s words.
After all, up until now, everything that he had said had come to pass. Furthermore, he would never treat Ruoxue’s grandmother’s life lightly.
She hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “Qin Zhengyang injured her.”
Between the threat of the Qin family and her mother’s life, she chose the latter without hesitation.
Xia Ruoxue was stunned when she heard those words. Her face turned pale immediately. There was also a trace of anger mixed within.
Even though the Xia family could not compete with the Qin family, Xia Ruoxue would rather die than marry Qin Zhengyang!
She would not marry a scumbag like him!
At this moment, Ye Chen’s heart was also burning with anger.
It was Qin Zhengyang again!
Why did this bastard go so far as to torture an old woman?
If Qin Zhengyang had not gone to the Kunlun Mountains, Ye Chen would have immediately gone to the Qin family’s residence and tortured Qin Zhengyang to death..
