Ye Chen's heart twitched hard as he looked at the few ladies who were staring at him blankly at the door. He then opened his arms slowly.
The ladies were Tang Ning, the young mistress of the Tang family in Hong Kong, Xiao Ya, Ye Chen's first disciple in Miaojiang, and Yu Shasha from Ganzhou …
"Master …"
"Master …"
"Brother Ye …"
Almost at that moment, the few ladies pounced on him and hugged him while crying emotionally.
Ye Chen comforted the ladies one by one. At the same time, he quietly listened to the grievances they had suffered in the past few years.
An hour later, the ladies finally calmed down. Ye Chen glanced at the shabby and simple shack.
His eyes flickered and he took a deep breath in. He looked at the ladies and said, "You guys have suffered all these years …"
"Now that you're back, we don't feel like we've suffered anymore …"
Xiao Ya's temperament was as cold as before. However, this former campus belle had many traces of aging on her face.
The rest of the ladies agreed with what she said.
Ye Chen smiled lightly and gestured for them to sit down. He then said with a grim expression, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
…
At the same time, in the wealthy Cheng family of Lin City.
At that moment, a lady in gorgeous clothes knelt hard on the ground in the Cheng residence. She said in an extremely aggrieved manner, "Uncle, you must help me!"
If Ye Chen were there, he would definitely realize that the lady kneeling on the ground was the person he had slapped at Nine Dragons Bay — Cheng Lixue.
Meanwhile, a middle-aged man in a dragon costume was sitting on the armchair before the lady, "Did that brat really say that?"
The middle-aged man's temples were white. He stared at Cheng Lixue who was on the ground like lightning. His sharp and terrifying gaze made the latter shudder.
If there were outsiders present, they would definitely realize that the middle-aged man was the current head of the Cheng family, Cheng Kunpeng. He had a peak Golden Core cultivation base and was known as the Cheng family's No. 1. He was also one of the three people who stood at the peak of Lin City.
"Yes …"
Cheng Lixue's heart skipped a beat when she met his gaze. She then pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Forget that that brat slapped me a few times. He even said that my family is nothing to him?"
She then added fuel to the fire, "Then, that brat said that he wants you to kneel and apologize to him at Nine Dragons Bay tomorrow morning. Otherwise …"
"Or what?" Cheng Kunpeng's eyes darkened.
Cheng Lixue's lips trembled as he said weakly, "Or … or else he … he'll destroy my Cheng Clan!"
"Okay, okay!"
Cheng Kunpeng was so angry that he laughed. A cold glint appeared in his eyes. "Ever since my Cheng Family rose to the top of Lin City, this is the first time someone dared to look down on my Cheng Family."
Even though his tone was extremely calm, Cheng Lixue, who was kneeling on the ground, had a flash of hatred in his eyes.
She understood the Patriarch's temperament very well. The more the Patriarch acted like this, the more the brat who humiliated her would definitely die!
"Brother Cheng!"
At that moment, an indifferent voice rang out from the armchair to the side, "This person can make Miss Cheng unable to resist, he must be quite strong …"
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothes. The man's gaze was malicious, and his entire body was filled with a vigorous aura.
This person was the head of the Chu family, Chu Mo, one of the three overlords that stood above the tens of millions of people in Lin City.
"Xue 'er is only on Foundation Building. Since that brat could slap Xue' er, he's probably on intermediate-stage or even mastery-stage Foundation Building …"
Cheng Kunpeng's eyes turned grim at first when he heard that. He then scoffed and said, "But so what if that's the case? Since he dares to offend my Cheng family, even his Golden Core patriarch must die! "
He turned his head and said to the young man in black who was standing aside respectfully, "Tian 'er, go with Xue' er tomorrow. I want this brat's head …"
"Yes, Godfather …" The young man in black bowed and said.
The hatred in Cheng Lixue's eyes grew as soon as he said that. He seemed to have seen Ye Chen's tragic end.
One must know that the young man in black was Cheng Tian. He was the adopted son of the Cheng family's Patriarch, Cheng Kunpeng. He was only 30 years old, but he had already achieved Perfected Foundation Building. Golden Core was just around the corner. With his help, it would be a success.
At that moment, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly rang out from outside. Then, an expressionless grey-robed elder quickly walked in.
The old man in gray ignored everyone and walked straight to Cheng Kunpeng. He whispered into his ear.
"Let him in!" Cheng Kunpeng's eyes were extremely grim.
Soon after the old man in gray left, he brought a young man in a suit in. The young man in the suit was carrying a bloody person in his arms.
Cheng Lixue, who had retreated aside, had his pupils locked when he saw the bloody person in his arms. "Uncle Ying …"
Cheng Kunpeng glared at the young man in the suit with his grim eyes. "Tell me, who killed Cheng Ying?!"
Cheng Ying was his cousin. Although he did not have a high position in the Cheng family, he was still a direct descendant of the family. Now that he was killed, how could he not be furious?
The young man in the suit knelt hard onto the ground and stammered, "Patriarch Cheng, Old … Old Master Cheng was killed by a young man …"
Subsequently, he told everything that happened. He said while shaking, "That man asked me to bring a message to Patriarch Cheng. He said that he, Mad Southern Ye, is back …"
As soon as he was done speaking, Cheng Kunpeng, who looked grim, was stunned at first.
Cheng Kunpeng, who had a gloomy expression, was stunned at first. Then, the expression on his face froze. He seemed to have thought of something as a hint of shock appeared in his eyes.
He was not the only one. Even the Chu family's patriarch, Chu Mo, who was sitting at the side, sat up in shock. He looked at the young man in the suit in shock. "Say it again. What's that person's name?"
"He said his name is Mad Southern Ye," the young man in the suit did not know what was going on, but he repeated it anyway.
Slap …
At that moment, Chu Mo's hand, which was on the armchair, trembled violently. Then, he broke one of the armrests.
He looked at Cheng Kunpeng and said while his throat trembled, "Brother Cheng, that person is … is back?!"
"Mad Southern Ye …"
Cheng Kunpeng suppressed the shock in his heart and said after taking a deep breath in, "Apart from him, who else in this world dares to call themselves that?"
As he said that, he clenched his fists and enunciated word by word, "But how is that possible? That person has disappeared for 17 years. Rumor has it that he died on Heavenly Road … "
The two of them's reactions confused Cheng Lixue and the rest. They did not expect the two of them, who had always been extremely dignified, to lose their composure like that.
"Uncle, who is this Mad Southern Ye?" Cheng Lixue's eyes moved, and he could not help but ask.
Cheng Kunpeng looked at her coldly and finally said, "This person was once a legend in China. He was known as the No. 1 person on Earth 17 years ago …"
"When he dominated the world and swept through Earth, you guys were still ignorant children …" Chu Mo said, almost losing his composure.
