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 Lin’s 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 Lingtian’s 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 girl’s 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 surpassed 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, “It’s okay. This information is enough. I’ll go to Capital City and play around for a few days. Maybe I’ll 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 isn’t dead yet, right?”

“Yes…” Fang Dongcheng’s voice was trembling.

He felt that a storm was coming.

“You brought so many people with you, but you can’t kill a piece of trash?”

Zheng Renjue’s deep voice was tinged with coldness.

“Yes…”

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

“Don’t you dare start giving me excuses! If you can’t 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 identity. After the failed assassination attempt, someone has already given me a warning! We can no longer deal with him openly now.”

Fang Dongcheng’s mind spun quickly. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, “Sir, in that case, I have a little bit of a relationship with that person from the headquarters of Xuemei Palace. Assassinations 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, I’ll hire a top-notch assassin to take on the job. There’s no way Ye Chen can survive that!”

Zheng Renjue’s eyes lit up with interest.

“However, 1 heard that although their assassins are terrifyingly strong, their asking price is equally as high… And they aren’t paid in cash either.”

“If it were someone else, I might not be able to get them to act, but based on my friendship 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 Dongcheng’s shoulder. “Good!”

When Fang Dongcheng heard this, he was overjoyed and quickly said, “Sir, 1 will definitely meet your expectations. You will see that brat’s 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 assigned 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 don’t have much time, I’m going to Capital City today. After that, I’ll go back to the Kunlun Mountains. I hope that when you bring the jade token back to the Kunlun Mountains, you’ll be strong enough. Don’t disappoint my sister! You have no idea how much pressure my sister faced in order to get that spot for you!”

Ye Chen’s 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 can’t die. Even if everyone in the world dies, you can’t 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 Jianfeng’s appointed meeting time, so he went to the villa next door to take a look..
