"You're a master, you must have a way to resolve this, why are you standing by and doing nothing? No matter what, we're still allies," Chen Liang roared.
"Why should I try to resolve it? A dying man has his own natural enemies. If I try to resolve it, all the karma will be transferred to me. What benefit will I gain?" Ye Xingchen glanced at him: "Besides, your father is determined to die."
"He...is determined to die?" Chen Liang looked incredulous.
"Chen Zhengyi has already hired people to kill you and your son, so he simply decided to play along and risk his life for your future. Do you understand?" Ye Xingchen sighed slightly. "Otherwise, with your current strength, you and your son are no match for Chen Zhengyi at all."
"So, he risked his life to secure the position of family head for me?" Chen Liang felt as if struck by lightning; he understood now, he understood everything.
“That’s right. He risked his life to earn the position of family head for you. After his death, Chen Zhengyi was disgraced. It was all arranged by him.” Ye Xingchen nodded: “I know you are unwilling, but Chen Zhengyi is also my enemy. I will kill him, not you. Otherwise, your father’s death will have been in vain.”
"Although your father's approach was radical, it was still better than both of you and Chen Zhengyi suffering losses."
"So you must not let your father down, otherwise, his death will have been in vain."
Chen Liang knelt down with a thud. Gazing at the majestic green mountains before him, he cried out, "Dad..."
Tears of regret welled up in his eyes. He hated himself for being so useless, for failing to save his father's life at the crucial moment, and for causing him to risk his life to barely secure this future for himself.
"If you're sensible, don't refuse the position of family head," Ye Xingchen said. "Have you thought it through?"
"I've figured it out." Chen Liang nodded heavily.
"Don't even think about seeking revenge against Chen Zhengyi. After all, he was one of the five generals, and his strength and prestige back then were almost on par with my father's." Ye Xingchen said leisurely, "Besides, he is now disgraced, and even if Chen Wanning wants to protect him, he is powerless to do so."
"Once I find his hiding place, I will settle my score with him. I will avenge your father."
"But I'm not reconciled... I'm really not reconciled." Chen Liang clenched his fists tightly.
“He still has a son, doesn’t he?” Ye Xingchen laughed. “Whatever anger you have, just take it out on his son.”
Chen Liang suddenly raised his head, and he suddenly realized something.
Yeah, that kid Chen Hao is Chen Zhengyi's son. His own father died because of this, and he still wants to live a carefree life outside? Don't even think about it.
He slowly stood up and said coldly, "I know what to do. I'm going to find Chen Hao now and make that kid suffer."
After Chen Liang finished speaking, he bowed slightly to Ye Xingchen: "Thank you for telling me all this. I know what to do now. I will accept the position of family head, but you must guarantee that Chen Zhengyi will not leave Yanjing alive."
"Don't worry, I want to kill him more than anyone else, and he can only die by my hand." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "Play the sob story when you need to, make Chen Wanning feel sorry for you, and you'll have succeeded."
"Okay." Chen Liang nodded, turned around and went down the mountain.
Ye Xingchen picked up a cup of tea in front of him, drank it down in one gulp, and praised, "Good tea."
"Your plan is quite ruthless. If you say that, how can Chen Hao possibly survive?" Su Ruochu had arrived at some point.
"When did you arrive?" Ye Xingchen asked in surprise.
"I've been here for a while, and I've heard almost everything you said to him," Su Ruochu said playfully. "Are you trying to ruin Chen Hao? What grudge do you hold against him?"
Chen Hao's life was pretty much ruined by Ye Xingchen.
This guy has been beaten by Ye Xingchen countless times, and after Li Yijin cut off his penis, Ye Xingchen used medicine to help him get it back. Since then, this guy has lost interest in women.
And now Ye Xingchen is actually trying to trick Chen Liang into attacking Chen Hao. What kind of grudge is this?
"Chen Hao was never a good person to begin with, and he's only a menace to this world," Ye Xingchen said with a smile. "If we don't take this opportunity to destroy him now, when will we ever get another chance?"
"Fine, Chen Zhengyi must have had a terrible fate to make an enemy of you." Su Ruochu sighed, staring at Ye Xingchen without saying a word for a long time.
"Is there something on my face? Or are you so captivated by my handsome appearance that you can't even look at me?" Ye Xingchen asked.
Su Ruochu had been looking serious, but Ye Xingchen's words made her burst out laughing: "What kind of time is this to be making jokes like this?"
“I noticed that the blood cloud in your destiny palace seems to be getting thicker.” Su Ruochu held his hand, her face full of worry: “This should indicate that the journey to the Western Region will not be so smooth.”
"This line of work has the intention of reigniting war, and also the intention of excessive killing. I can't see clearly, so I'm getting more and more worried."
"Don't worry about me," Ye Xingchen said with a smile. "I practice medicine and help people, and my pharmaceutical company has saved countless lives."
"People can't always do good deeds and accumulate good karma while living in this world. My trip to the Western Frontier is just to find out if my father is still alive. If anyone dares to stop me, I'll kill them."
Ye Xingchen held her hand, looked westward, and said slowly, "If the righteous path cannot tolerate me then, what if I transform into a demon?"
"To hell with the Heavenly Way! What can you do if I don't follow your Heavenly Way?"
The sound was resounding and pierced the heavens.
Inside the Chen family's private villa, Chen Wanning knelt on the ground, trembling.
Chen Wuliang's childish face was solemn as he paced back and forth in the room, appearing extremely anxious.
"You've been searching for so long, and you still haven't found them? The Chen family has been established in Yanjing for nearly a century, and with the help of the Xuan Yang Sect, you've been in their care for almost fifty years. How can you not even find a single person?"
Chen Wuliang suddenly turned around and stared intently at Chen Wanning: "What a fine son you've raised! He's really ruthless. The Chen family has always been overlooked and developed in secret. But this time, we've been completely exposed."
“There must be someone behind this,” Chen Wanning said tremblingly. “Father, I have already sent people to investigate this matter. Don’t worry, I will definitely give you an explanation.”
"Heh, I don't want to hear about such trash." Chen Wuliang flicked his sleeve: "Of your brothers back then, I only kept you. The rest were used as medicinal offerings to help me improve my skills."
"Now I really regret it. You should have been the one to perform the medicine ritual."
