“I’m not blaming you. You don’t have to be so nervous,” Ye Chen said.
“Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Ye,” Zhu Ya smiled and said.
“Alright, since the sword has been reforged, I won’t stay here any longer. This time, I owe your Zhu family a favor. If you need anything, you can seek me out,” Ye Chen said.
Now that the Dragonslayer Sword was complete, Ye Chen was in a good mood. The assistance he received was indeed well-worth a favor.
Hearing this, Zhu Ya’s eyes revealed traces of excitement.
At the same time, she recalled that time at the coffee shop, she had ridiculously promised Ye Chen a favor from the Zhu family. The value of the two favors really could not be compared.
Ye Chen suddenly thought of something and said to Zhu Ya, “I hope that no one will know about what happened today. Can you guarantee that?”
Zhu Ya nodded her head vigorously.
“Mr. Ye, don’t worry. Elder He and I won’t tell anyone about this!””
“That’s good.”
Ye Chen nodded and headed outside. He dialed Xiao Deng’s number and asked him to pick him up at the Zhu family’s residence.
Soon, Xiao Deng’s car arrived, and Ye Chen got in. However, he did not choose to return to the villa. Instead, he asked Xiao Deng to take him to the Wu family’s residence first.
Wu Xiangming’s injuries should have more or less recovered, but he needed to check anyway.
When he arrived, he found Wu Xiangming practicing his fist techniques. Seeing the latter’s vigorous movements, it almost seemed that he had been reborn.
“He recovered so quickly?” Ye Chen muttered.
He was a little surprised. It seemed that the effect of his medicinal pill was better than he expected.
Upon hearing Ye Chen’s voice, Wu Xiangming quickly stopped what he was doing and rushed over.
He greeted respectfully, “Wu Xiangming greets Mr. Ye.”
“Give me your wrist and let me examine your injuries,” Ye Chen instructed.
“Yes, Mr. Ye,” Wu Xiangming said excitedly.
Ye Chen examined Wu Xiangming’s pulse for a while and found that the latter’s injuries were recovering very well. Under the effect of the medicinal pill, even his broken bones were mending.
“Not bad. It seems that Wu Xinlan has been taking good care of you.”
Wu Xiangming nodded.
“She’s really helped me during this period of time. She’s cultivating inside now. Should 1 ask her to come out and see Mr. Ye?”
“There’s no need for that.”
Ye Chen took out twenty pills from his pocket and said seriously, “These pills are still the same as before. I’ll give you a goal. Within two months, reach the top 150 of Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings. Can you do it?”
When Wu Xiangming heard this, his pupils shrank. This would have been impossible for the old him, but with Mr. Ye’s cultivation technique and pills, the impossible became possible.
Wu Xiangming gritted his teeth, cupped his fists and vowed, “Mr. Ye, I will do it!”
“Alright, stay here for the next few days. Contact me when your injuries are completely healed.”
“Yes, Mr. Ye!”
Ye Chen then left the Wu family’s residence, and was about to get into the car when he heard the sound of something whistling through the air in his direction.
His eyes narrowed, and a wind blade shot out from his hand.
When the wind blade collided with the flying object, there was an explosion!
To his surprise, the flying object was actually a leaf.
He could also use leaves to hurt people, and had done so in the past, but in Jiangnan Province, he had not seen many people who could replicate that feat.
It seemed that an expert had come to find him.
Ye Chen’s first reaction was that it was someone from Huaxia’s Martial Arts Department.
Although he had agreed to fight with Fang Zhongxin in the martial arts arena, he could not rule out a sneak attack from them. After all, he did not have a good impression of the Martial Arts Department.
Xiao Deng, who was in the driver’s seat, also noticed something at this point. He took out a weapon, and was about to come out of the car when Ye Chen spoke.
“Xiao Deng, stay in the car. I’ll take care of the things out here.”
“Mr. Ye, do I need to inform Dragon Soul?”
“I can handle this minor matter myself.”
Xiao Deng nodded. He trusted Mr. Ye. After all, the latter’s title of Chief Instructor of Dragon Soul was not just for show.
With that, Ye Chen walked toward the direction where the leaf had flown from; a tree-lined street beside the Wu family’s residence.
The surroundings were quiet, and he soon spotted a middle-aged man standing in the distance with his back to him.
He did not speak.
Ye Chen stared at the middle-aged man with interest. He was sure that he had never seen this person before.
“Why did you attack me?”
Ye Chen asked, his tone unwavering.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man laughed loudly.
“I was just curious about how terrifying the Hunter who made countless forces in Jiangnan Province tremble in fear was. You didn’t disappoint me.”
“Did Huaxia’s Martial Arts Department send you here?”
Ye Chen’s gaze remained indifferent.
The middle-aged man shook his head, his back still facing Ye Chen.
“If I was sent by Huaxia’s Martial Arts Department, do you think I would take the time to converse with you?”
“However, you probably won’t live for more than two days. Fang Zhongxin’s strength far exceeds yours. This isn’t an exaggeration, but the truth.”
“Ye Chen, I admit that you’re very strong. Your strength far surpasses the rest of the younger generation in Jiangnan Province, but you don’t know how to restrain yourself. You’re too arrogant.”
“I’ve seen too many people with that attitude, and there’s only one outcome in the end, and that’s premature death!”
The middle-aged man’s voice was cold.
“Are you done? If you’re here to spout nonsense, then get lost before I kill you.”
“You…”
The middle-aged man turned around. He was wearing a hideous black mask which hid his face from view.
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed once he noticed that the middle-aged man was holding a dart in his hand, which was emblazoned with the image of a bloody plum!
Xuemei Palace!
Ye Chen took a step forward and placed his hands behind his back.
“Did Xuemei Palace send you to kill me?”
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, “The assassins of Xuemei Palace won’t bother talking so much. However, since you’ve recognized that I come from Xuemei Palace, I don’t have to waste my breath on the matter. I asked you to come and see me yesterday, why didn’t you come?”
Ye Chen immediately realized that the middle-aged man in front of him was the leader of Jiangnan Province’s branch of Xuemei Palace, Ling Feng!
He did not expect that this person would actually take the initiative to seek him out.
“Do I have to see you just because you’re Ling Feng? Ridiculous!”
After Ye Chen finished speaking, he turned around and left.
However, after Ye Chen took three steps, a cold voice rang out from behind him.
“If I were to tell the people in Capital City that you offended Xuemei Palace, do you think you can still live a peaceful life?”
“Even if you’re not bothered by it, you should think about the people around you, such as Xia Ruoxue or Sun Yi.”
Ye Chen stopped in his tracks.
A murderous aura surged from within his body. He turned around and shot out a cold glare at Ling Feng.
“Are you threatening me? I hate threats, I hate them very much..”
