Lei Shuwei wanted to curse. He did not want Ye Chen to get involved in this mess, but in the end, things had turned out the way they did.
Outsiders might not know Ye Chen’s true strength, but he did!
He went over to Ye Chen’s side and quickly said, “Mr. Ye, that was a bit reckless…”
Ye Chen wiped the Dragonslayer Sword expressionlessly and said calmly, “I have no intention of staying in the martial arts world. Besides, 1 have already killed Tang Ao. Do you think they will let me go? Instead of cowering, it was better to take the initiative to attack!”
Lei Shuwei was speechless, but he also understood Ye Chen’s reasoning.
Ye Chen sheathed the Dragonslayer Sword and looked at Lei Shuwei and Ying Qing.
“You’ve helped me a lot this time. If you have anything you can’t solve in the future, just tell me. I’ll owe you this favor.”
“Mr. Ye, you are the Chief Instructor. No matter what, we will stand behind you without hesitation,” Lei Shuwei said seriously.
He would stake everything on Ye Chen.
“Got it.”
Ye Chen then walked out. He was going to visit Shen Haihua and the others.
At the same time, in the depths of the Kunlun Mountains.
Dozens of people from the Qin family stood outside an ancient courtyard, anxiously waiting for something.
Qin Zhengyang’s injuries had already recovered a little, but the backlash made his face look somewhat pale.
They had been waiting here for more than a week, yet the door of the courtyard remained closed.
Honestly, they were about to collapse from all this waiting.
“Dad, do we still need to wait?” Qin Zhengyang asked.
Mr. Qin nodded and looked at the door with an extremely solemn expression.
This was the only way for the Qin family to break out of this situation.
“Just wait.”
“Alright.” Qin Zhengyang sighed and nodded.
His father’s decisions were never wrong, so he decided to wait a few more days.
After another ten minutes, suddenly…
Creak!
The door opened!
Those listless Qin family members suddenly stood up straight and stared at the door, and they saw an old man in a long robe emerge.
The old man’s eyes were calm as he glanced at everyone indifferently. Just that glance was enough to make everyone tremble.
Mr. Qin hurriedly took a step forward and knelt in front of the old man.
“Greetings, Senior, I am Qin Kun!”
Plop!
The dozens of core members of the Qin family behind him all knelt down as well.
“Greetings, Senior!”
Their voices were filled with respect!
The old man placed his hands behind his back and said to Qin Kun, “Why have you been waiting outside my door for so many days?”
Qin Kun said excitedly, “Senior, I want to invite you to leave the mountain and oversee my Qin family!””
The old man shook his head and turned around. Clearly, he was not interested in overseeing the Qin family.
“Senior, please wait a moment. It’s not too late for you to make your decision after you see this.”
Qin Kun took out something and presented it with both hands.
The old man sensed something and turned around abruptly. When he saw the thing in Qin Kun’s hand, his eyes narrowed. His five fingers constricted, and the item suddenly reappeared in his hand!
His breathing was a little hurried as he asked, “This is the key to the Kunlun Mountains. Where did you get it?”
“Senior, what is the Kunlun Mountains?” Qin Kun asked in surprise.
“I haven’t heard of it before.”
The old man in the long robe finally reacted and muttered to himself, “These people are just ancient martial artists. They are not cultivators. Naturally, they do not know about the Kunlun Mountains…”
“Answer me, where did you get this?”
Qin Kun hurriedly explained, “Senior, this is a treasure passed down by our Qin family’s ancestors. We hope to use it to request Senior to help our Qin family.”
The old man kept the item in his bosom. This was an item he could not refuse.
After thinking for a while, he said, “My time is limited. For the sake of this treasure, I’m willing to come out of the mountain once. However, I can at most guard your Qin family for a month.”
“Of course, I’m willing to accept a disciple from your Qin family this month. If he follows me, he will learn enough to guarantee the prosperity of your Qin family for the rest of your lifetime!”
Qin Kun was slightly disappointed when he heard the first half of the sentence. However, the second half of the sentence made his heart quicken. He hurriedly said to Qin Zhengyang, “Zhengyang, come up and greet your Master!”
Qin Zhengyang was delighted. He quickly went forward and knelt in front of the old man.
“Qin Zhengyang greets Master!”
The old man glanced at Qin Zhengyang, took out a pill, and threw it to Qin Zhengyang.
“Your level of talent isn’t bad. Take this as a gift for becoming my disciple.”
When Qin Zhengyang saw the medicinal pill in front of him, his breathing quickened. He hurriedly kowtowed and said, “Thank you, Master!”
Cloud Lake Manor, in the lounge on the third floor.
Ye Chen finally met up with Shen Haihua and the others.
Surprisingly, Zhu Ya was actually among them. She had arranged for medical personnel to give Shen Haihua and the others basic treatment.
Zhu Ya’s eyes were filled with shock when she saw that Ye Chen was acting as if nothing had happened.
“Mr. Ye…” Shen Haihua said in a trembling voice.
“Brother Chen…” Wang Yuheng said excitedly.
Ye Chen nodded and said, “All of you, lie down. I’ll take a look at you.”
Then, Ye Chen took out his silver needles and examined their injuries. After that, he used his true qi to manipulate the needles and insert them into their bodies.
Fortunately, other than Shen Haihua’s bones, the others were not seriously injured. They would be fine after resting for a few days.
Wang Yuheng was full of energy and said excitedly, “Brother Chen, you were so f*cking cool just now! Will I become like you if I continue to cultivate?”
Ye Chen nodded.
“As long as you cultivate seriously, you’ll naturally become stronger. At the very least, you’ll be able to protect the people around you.””
“Alright..”
