"Is there any news from Ruochu?" Xia Xueming asked.
"Not yet. I originally sent someone to follow her, but she found out and shook off my men," Ye Xingchen said somewhat awkwardly.
He instructed Zhou Dazhu to send people to secretly follow Su Ruochu, but Su Ruochu was already at the half-step Heaven Realm, and no matter how well they hid, they could not escape her eyes.
Now she travels the world, making her home wherever she goes, and Ye Xingchen has no idea where she is.
“She’s a good girl.” Xia Xueming sighed softly. “It’s just that her background is a bit pitiful. She entered the Celestial Realm because of you. You must not let her down.”
"Grandpa, if we're going to talk about it this way, there are just too many people I can't let down," Ye Xingchen said with a wry smile.
He has many beautiful women around him, and although he hasn't been back to his hometown for a while, it doesn't mean he's forgotten Qin Yue and the others.
After some time, when the company moves to Yanjing, they will naturally all come with it.
"Hehe, you're nothing like your dad in that respect." Xia Xueming laughed heartily: "Your dad was devoted to one woman, your mother was his only woman in his life, but you're different."
"But this is good too. It allows the Ye family to expand and grow, which is a good option."
"Grandpa, you're a scholar." Ye Xingchen was taken aback. "You don't object to these things?"
"What do I dislike?" Xia Xueming glared at him. "I am a scholar, that's true, but I'm not a pedant. I'm quite open-minded."
"Alright." Ye Xingchen was both amused and exasperated. He placed a piece on the board and said, "My dad hasn't been home for over twenty years. I'm going to welcome him back in a few days."
"Are you going to Jinluo City?" Xia Xueming's hand, which was about to place a piece, froze slightly. He didn't put the piece down for a long time. After a while, he looked up at Ye Xingchen and said, "Do you know that this is a big deal?"
"Of course I know this is a big deal. Not to mention that Jinluo City is a city of sin, a gathering place for fugitives from various countries," Ye Xingchen said. "Moreover, there are Western countries behind it all, and more importantly, the three city lords are all experts in celestial phenomena."
“My father was once unparalleled in his prestige, so his death became a means for these people to demonstrate their power. It is really difficult to bring my father home.”
"Are you sure you can do it?" Xia Xueming stared at Ye Xingchen.
"Not at the moment." Ye Xingchen shook his head, then smiled slightly and said, "But when the time is right, it will naturally come."
"Alright, just based on your confidence, I believe you will definitely be able to welcome your father back." Xia Xueming nodded slightly: "That old man from the Ye family, his days are numbered, aren't they?"
“If Jiang Yongkang continues like this, unless forbidden laws are used, the Ye family will have to make arrangements for their funerals within three months,” Ye Xingchen said.
"Yes, Jiang Yongkang has disappeared," Xia Xueming said. "That old man from the Ye family is probably searching for him like a madman."
“He’s gone.” Ye Xingchen shook his head. “Jiang Yongkang has lost all his virtue and is already in hell.”
No one understood Jiang Yongkang's situation better than Ye Xingchen; this guy had been locked up in hell along with his physical body by the underworld officials.
He will face the death penalty, and the name of the Ghost Doctor Jiang Yongkang will never exist again.
"If he can't find anyone, he'll put his hopes on you." Xia Xueming looked up: "What will you do then?"
"That depends on whether he's sincere." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "That old man from the Ye family is currently struggling on the brink of death. I know that kind of person all too well."
“He enjoyed a life of luxury and wealth that he could hardly live without end. Now that he is facing a life-or-death situation, he is terrified of death. So he will definitely come looking for me. Perhaps he is already on his way.”
"Then what will you do? This is a dilemma." Xia Xueming said, "If you save him, he is the culprit who has broken up your family for more than 20 years; if you don't save him, he is your blood relative. What should you do?"
"That depends on his attitude towards what happened back then." Ye Xingchen paused and said slowly, "I'm not the kind of person who repays evil with kindness. If he talks nicely, I'll try to save him."
"But if he still has the same attitude as before, then I'm sorry, even a god can't save him after three months."
“Alright, you’ve grown up and have the ability to think for yourself.” Xia Xueming nodded slightly: “That old man from the Ye family, because of some grudges with our Xia family, forcibly separated your parents.”
"Your father went to Jinluo City in a fit of pique, and under the manipulation of some people, he intended to wage war. But what kind of place is Jinluo City? It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it hell on earth. What a pity..."
"I will finish what my father didn't finish," Ye Xingchen said firmly. "I want the world to know that Ye Jinyu is a real man, and his son is no coward either."
"Alright, if there's anything I can do to help this old man, please be sure to call me." Xia Xueming laughed heartily, "I failed to protect my son-in-law back then, and this time, I'm going to do my part for him."
"I'll take care of it, Grandpa, you just need to keep an eye on things." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
The two finished their game of chess quickly, and just then, a servant came to report that Ye Chengen was requesting an audience.
"Look, the Ye family has arrived." Ye Xingchen put down the chess piece in his hand: "They've come really quickly."
"Ye Chengen isn't a good person either. Would he beg you for the life or death of that old man from the Ye family?" Xia Xueming asked.
"He can't wait for the old man to die so he can seize control of the Ye family." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "But unfortunately, the old man in the Ye family is wary of him. If the old man dies, he will get nothing."
“Okay, haha, go see him. He’s nominally your second uncle.” Xia Xueming said, “He also played a significant role in breaking up your family back then.”
“I know.” Ye Xingchen nodded. “I’d like to see what he has to say this time.”
In the reception room, Ye Chengen appeared somewhat uneasy.
The Xia family and the Ye family were at odds, so they didn't give him a friendly look. He sat in the reception room for a long time, and no one even poured him a cup of tea.
He sat there with a dark face, extremely displeased, thinking that he was a member of the Ye family, yet the Xia family didn't give him any face at all.
As soon as the door to the reception room opened, Ye Xingchen walked in. Seeing Ye Chengen's dark face, he sneered, "What are you doing here?"
"Xingchen, you've arrived?" Ye Chengen quickly stood up, forcing a smile on his face: "I came here today specifically to see you."
"What do you want from me?" Ye Xingchen asked knowingly.
“Your grandfather’s birthday is coming up soon, and old people get sentimental as they get older, wanting their children and grandchildren to stay by their side.” Ye Chengen tried hard to find an excuse: “So, could you…”
