In Liangjiang, China.
It was the release of the college entrance examination results. Both sides of the bustling street were filled with onlookers. Everyone looked at the tall horse in the middle of the street enviously.
A handsome young man sat on the tall horse. He was about 17 or 18 years old. He had a young smile and a big red flower on his chest.
Meanwhile, a long line of people followed behind him. They would hit the huge gong from time to time.
"Is he the genius from Yun City's Chen family?"
"That's amazing. He scored 750 on the college entrance examination. He's the top student in science in Liangjiang. He gave up the recruitment from the two top universities in Beiqing and applied for China's military university instead!"
"Beiqing offered a million yuan to fight for him, but he rejected them. If it were my child, I'd wake up laughing even in my dreams."
"I heard that this child was determined to be a soldier since he was young. He has great talent in military affairs. He even alarmed the highest commander of the local garrison."
"…"
All sorts of discussions broke out from the crowd from time to time. They did not hide the envy and admiration on their faces.
In the crowd, Ye Chen and Niu Qingshan, who had recovered his memory, looked at the young man on the tall horse quietly.
"Ye …"
Looking at the slightly green face, Niu Qingshan was a little dazed, "Are you sure this brat is Old Chen's reincarnation?"
"Of course, it's him."
Ye Chen smiled lightly, feeling a little dazed too. He recalled how domineering Old Chen was back then. He did not expect his reincarnation to be so weak.
"What surprised me even more was that he chose to join the military in this reincarnation …"
Ye Chen mumbled, "Could it be that this is predestined?"
In his previous life, Old Chen had given his all for the country. In the end, he went to Kunlun Mountain alone to fight the powerhouses of Shang Santian and died in battle.
Meanwhile, his reincarnation gave up the recruitment from the two top universities in Beiqing and chose China's military university instead.
At the same time, the parade gradually left, leaving behind a crowd of people who were still in shock.
Ye Chen smiled and followed them at a steady pace with Niu Qingshan.
Yun City's Chen Village was originally a remote and backward mountain area. It was so poor that roads and water and electricity were blocked.
More than ten years ago, a young man from the Chen Family Village made a fortune. This young man did not forget the kindness of the villagers and spent tens of millions to build a road for the Chen Family Temple. He also attracted investment from outside.
In just over a decade, the Chen Family Temple had developed from a remote mountainous area to one of the ten most famous villages in the country.
To thank him for his kindness, the villagers raised money to build an ancestral hall, where the ancestors of the Chen family and Civil Star were worshiped.
The Chen Village's ancestral hall was approximately a thousand square meters in size, and the building was rather ancient. At this moment, it was densely packed with villagers.
Everyone raised their heads and looked at the Path of Existence with anticipation.
Following the intermittent sound of a gong, someone in the crowd said happily, "She's here, Mr. Chen. Xiao Zhao is back."
The one who was the most excited was a middle-aged woman who was surrounded by many people. The man was about 40 years old and had a mustache. He had an extraordinary temperament.
As for the middle-aged woman, although she was already over forty, she maintained herself well and looked as if she was only thirty.
Under everyone's gazes, they saw a group of people escorting a large horse as they slowly approached.
"Zhao 'er …"
The middle-aged man was pleasantly surprised as he welcomed the young man. He gently helped the young man down from the horse and gave him a big hug.
"Dad!" The young man smiled happily.
"Good job. I'm proud of you."
The middle-aged man gave him a thumbs up and smiled proudly, "A man is born to protect the country. I respect your choice."
"Let's go and worship the ancestors!"
After saying that, he pulled the young man into the ancestral hall.
"Plop!"
He held a stick of incense in his hand and knelt before the many spirit tablets in front of him, "Ancestors of the Chen family, I, Chen Dengke's son, Chen Zhao, passed the golden examination and became the Liangjiang Science Champion. Today, I'm here to pay my respects."
The young man, Chen Zhao, also knelt down.
All the Chen family villagers watched this scene with serious expressions. The two people in front of them were the pride of the Chen Family Village.
One became rich from business and was worth over a hundred million.
The other threw away his pen and joined the army to serve on the battlefield!
And it was in this extremely solemn occasion that a faint voice suddenly came from afar, "Your body is not yours. Your body is not jade. Let the fire burn this body."
As this sudden voice rang out, everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look at the source of the voice.
In the distance, there was a young man in green leading a young man in black. The young man had a dignified appearance and was handsome.
A villager couldn't help but step forward and say, "Little brother, today is the Chen Family Village's worship day. I hope you can step aside for now."
However, the young man walked straight into the ancestral hall as if he didn't see him. Someone suddenly became furious and reached out to grab him.
However, when his hand touched the young man's clothes, he was immediately pushed back a few steps by a huge force.
The man's expression changed and he immediately waved his hand, "This person is here to cause trouble. Catch him!"
In an instant, several strong young men suddenly pounced at the young man. However, these people were all pushed back without exception.
Everyone was shocked.
A few experts next to Chen Dengke rushed out and protected the father and son behind them.
One of the old men in traditional attire took a good look at Ye Chen and said in his deep voice, "Director Chen, this person might be a cultivator …"
The old man had white hair and a slightly hunched back. However, his breathing was extremely long. His temples were bulging and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.
Clearly, he was a martial cultivator.
"Little brother!"
He took a deep breath in and walked up to Ye Chen while clasping his fists. "I'm Wang Pan, the Eight Trigram Fist Sect Leader. I wonder if there's any misunderstanding between you and Director Chen?"
He thought Ye Chen and the rest were here to cause trouble. Therefore, he revealed their names by instinct in an attempt to resolve the grudge.
However, Ye Chen shook his head and pointed at Chen Zhao who was kneeling on the cattail hassock. "I'm here for him!"
The people's expressions changed when they heard that.
Wang Pan's pupils shrunk at first, then he said coldly, "If that's the case, please forgive me for being rude!"
As soon as he said that, he sank his energy into his dantian and shouted. A powerful energy shot out of his body and charged at Ye Chen.
In the next second!
He spat a mouthful of blood out and was thrown out. He landed hard on the ground with a horrified expression on his face.
He had a martial venerable cultivation base too. Never had he thought that he would be defeated before he could even touch the corner of Ye Chen's clothes.
Powerhouse, this person was a powerhouse!
Upon seeing that, the remaining experts who were protecting Chen Dengke were going to attack. However, Chen Dengke suddenly said, "Get this expert here!"
The people then dispersed.
Ye Chen walked toward Chen Dengke and his son one step after another. He glanced at Chen Zhao first and then looked at Chen Dengke. "Mr. Chen, do you remember me?"
