Bang!

The door closed.

It seemed that he might be able to finally get some answers regarding the Cloud Lake Manor incident back then.

Ye Chen returned to the living room and fell into a state of deep thought.

It seemed that Jiang Jianfeng had come looking for him thanks to his displays of strength.

Indeed, in this world, strength was king. That person had told him that his parents were still alive. Coupled with the words that the lean man had said earlier, he could infer that Jiang Jianfeng definitely knew where his parents were.

For Ye Chen, tomorrow could not come soon enough.

Ji Lins mouth was oily and full of crumbs. She glanced at the frowning Ye Chen and said calmly, Ye Chen, I heard from the old man that you left the Kunlun Mountains to find the enemies who killed your parents. Have you found them?

Ye Chen shook his head.

It was as if Chief Long had disappeared from the face of the Earth. Despite Ye Lingtians best efforts, he had not been able to find any clues at all.

Ji Lin burped with satisfaction and then continued, Tell me about it. You already know my strength. I should be able to help you. Right now, I can only stay out here for a few days before returning to the Kunlun Mountains. Although I like the food, spending a few days eating is still a boring prospect.

Ye Chen glanced at Ji Lin. This little girls talent and strength were practically heaven-defying. Although she was still young, she had started cultivating at the age of three.

Coupled with the resources given to her by the sect and family, she had surpa.s.sed countless experts in the Kunlun Mountains.

However, what could she accomplish in just a few days?

It was better to rely on his own investigation.

I only know that the people responsible are in Capital City. The rest of the information is still unclear and under investigation.

Ji Lin nodded and began to tidy up the table. At the same time, she replied, Its okay. This information is enough. Ill go to Capital City and play around for a few days. Maybe Ill find something.

Ye Chen did not take her words seriously.

At the same time, in a building in Capital City, Zheng Renjue listened to everything with his back facing Fang Dongcheng.

Fang Dongcheng was on tenterhooks, as he was afraid that the man in front of him would get angry. It was not unusual for Zheng Renjue to kill people who failed in their missions.

Thus, the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

Suddenly, Zheng Renjue spoke.

In other words, Ye Chen isnt dead yet, right?

Yes Fang Dongchengs voice was trembling.

He felt that a storm was coming.

You brought so many people with you, but you cant kill a piece of trash?

Zheng Renjues deep voice was tinged with coldness.

Yes

Before Fang Dongcheng could finish his sentence, Zheng Renjue kicked him in the chest.

Dont you dare start giving me excuses! If you cant even deal with a brat, I should just kill you!

Fang Dongcheng knelt on the ground and said, Sir, 1 am incompetent and am willing to accept my punishment.

Zheng Renjue snorted, Ye Chen has a special ident.i.ty. After the failed a.s.sa.s.sination attempt, someone has already given me a warning! We can no longer deal with him openly now.

Fang Dongchengs mind spun quickly. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, Sir, in that case, I have a little bit of a relations.h.i.+p with that person from the headquarters of Xuemei Palace. a.s.sa.s.sinations should be carried out by professionals. If the experts from the headquarters of Xuemei Palace are tasked with killing Ye Chen, it should be a done deal!

If it comes down to it, Ill hire a top-notch a.s.sa.s.sin to take on the job. Theres no way Ye Chen can survive that!

Zheng Renjues eyes lit up with interest.

However, 1 heard that although their a.s.sa.s.sins are terrifyingly strong, their asking price is equally as high And they arent paid in cash either.

If it were someone else, I might not be able to get them to act, but based on my friends.h.i.+p with this person, 1 should be able to make it happen.

Sir, all you need to do is wait for the good news!

Zheng Renjue patted Fang Dongchengs shoulder. Good!

When Fang Dongcheng heard this, he was overjoyed and quickly said, Sir, 1 will definitely meet your expectations. You will see that brats head on your desk within a week!

The next day.

Ye Chen woke up from his cultivation session and immediately went to check the guest room, which was where Ji Lin had been a.s.signed yesterday night.

Although this girl had a strange temper and a vicious mouth, her heart was not too bad. When he reached the door, he realized that the door was ajar and there was no one inside.

Gone?

At that moment, Ye Chen noticed words carved on the wall.

Ye Chen, since I dont have much time, Im going to Capital City today. After that, Ill go back to the Kunlun Mountains. I hope that when you bring the jade token back to the Kunlun Mountains, youll be strong enough. Dont disappoint my sister! You have no idea how much pressure my sister faced in order to get that spot for you!

Ye Chens eyes flickered, as past memories surfaced in his mind.

Five years ago, he had just stepped into the Kunlun Mountains and had to endure countless trials and challenges.

The Kunlun Mountains were far more dangerous than Huaxia!

He had no strength when he arrived, and could only be trampled under the feet of others!

He had mortal roots, and had missed the best time to cultivate.

Any cultivator inside the Kunlun Mountains was stronger than him!

His cultivation progressed slowly, and he had difficulty breaking through. As such, he was a well-known laughingstock.

The only people who made him feel warm were three people

The first was the old man who had personally brought him to the Kunlun Mountains and taught him how to cultivate.

The second was the eccentric Ji Lin, and the last one was Ji Siqing, who had helped him countless times despite all the obstacles she faced doing so.

She gave him medicinal pills, and whenever he was in a desperate situation, she would give her all to rescue him, even if it meant offending a major clan or faction.

Although he worked hard and cultivated with all his might, if it was not for Ji Siqing, he would likely have died long ago. Honestly, he did not know why someone as talented and powerful as Ji Siqing would treat him like this.

Even if he had helped her once, she had more than repaid the favor countless times over.

What did he do to deserve this? He had asked her for the answer countless times, but her reply was always the same.

Ye Chen, you cant die. Even if everyone in the world dies, you cant die!

Ye Chen was then jolted awake from his memories. He held the black stone in his left hand and the jade token in his right.

When I return, I will make sure no one ever looks down on me again.

Ye Chen looked at the time. There was still half an hour before Jiang Jianfengs appointed meeting time, so he went to the villa next door to take a look..
