"Can you say that all of this has nothing to do with your Chen family?"
"Our Chen family disdains to do such things," Chen Zhengyi said calmly. "You know in your heart what kind of existence we are."
“Yes, the Chen family has been planning behind the scenes for decades, all to create a secular power.” Ye Xingchen said, “If my father hadn’t gotten into trouble, the Chen family, even with the support of a powerful sect behind the scenes, would at most be a second-rate force.”
Chen Zhengyi stared coldly at Ye Xingchen, and Ye Xingchen stared back defiantly.
"So what do you want to do?" Chen Zhengyi looked away.
"I said I'd get justice for my father." Ye Xingchen laughed: "So the Chen family dares to do it but doesn't dare to admit it?"
"This has nothing to do with whether you acknowledge him or not. Your father's death was an accident." Chen Zhengyi sneered, "If we're talking about murderers, then your deceased grandfather is the biggest murderer. Why don't you go dig up his grave and take revenge?"
"I don't deny that he was a contributing factor, but if you hadn't colluded with Jin Luocheng and betrayed my father's information, how could he have died?" Ye Xingchen sneered.
"Ye Xingchen, everything must be based on evidence. If you don't have evidence, you'd better not talk nonsense," Chen Zhengyi said angrily.
"Heh, evidence?" Ye Xingchen laughed: "My father has been dead for over twenty years. All the forged things have become irrefutable evidence."
"Even if it exists, your Chen family won't admit it, right? In that case, what evidence do I need?"
"So what do you want? To fight the Chen family to the death?" Chen Zhengyi sneered, "Forgive my bluntness, but you are quite capable and have grown rapidly. However, compared to the Chen family, you are still too green."
"The power that our Chen family displays in the secular world is just the tip of the iceberg. You think you can play with us? Even if you risk your life, we can't fight to the death."
"Then let's give it a try?" Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: "The famous Iron-Faced War God Chen Zhengyi is nothing special, huh? No wonder, in the eyes of the world, you are just a second-rate person compared to my father."
"Insolence! Shut up!" Chen Zhengyi roared in anger.
Yes, in the eyes of the world, compared to Ye Jinyu, he will always be just a second-rate nobody.
Even if he devoted his entire life to his efforts, he would not be able to match even a tenth of Ye Jinyu's level.
That bastard! In his lifetime, he stole the heart of the woman he loved, and even now, his wife still can't forget Ye Jinyu.
He's been dead for over twenty years, yet he's still haunting us like this?
"Did I step on your tail?" Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: "So easily influenced? Haha, Iron-Faced War God, you're quite famous, but you're nothing special."
"You want to die? I'll grant your wish now." Chen Zhengyi made no attempt to hide the murderous intent in his eyes; his anger had reached its limit.
"Hey, Chen Zhengyi, what are you pretending to be?" Suddenly, a charming voice rang out, and a figure flashed by—it was Xia Hanyue.
"Han Yue?" Chen Zhengyi's anger vanished instantly.
Looking at the woman in front of him, his expression was extremely complicated.
Even after all these years, the sight of this woman again still stirs a deep emotion within him.
"Don't call me so affectionately, my name is Xia Hanyue." Xia Hanyue glanced at him: "It's been so long, and you still haven't improved at all. What, if I hadn't come today, were you going to lay a hand on my nephew?"
"He brought this on himself, provoking me time and time again. My patience has its limits." Chen Zhengyi gave Ye Xingchen a cold look.
"Your patience has its limits?" Xia Hanyue laughed, leaning closer to Chen Zhengyi: "What are your limits? If Ye Jinyu hadn't saved your life on the battlefield back then, the grass on your grave would be several meters long by now."
"Once, you were comrades who could entrust your backs to each other without hesitation. And what about you? You took a knife and stabbed your own savior, causing him eternal damnation. Now you're successful and living a good life, and you've got a temper?"
Chen Zhengyi clenched his fists tightly, remaining silent; his emotions were extremely complex.
"If he hadn't saved you, the Chen family would have had no chance to rise to power in Yanjing. More than twenty years have passed, and his body has turned to ashes. Now his son wants to seek justice for him. Is that too much to ask?"
Chen Zhengyi loosened his clenched fist and let out a long breath: "It's not excessive, but Hanyue, there are some things I can't do."
"Ye Jinyu was once my friend, brother, and savior. But we are destined to become enemies."
He raised his head, his icy gaze sweeping over Ye Xingchen: "Kid, I admit you've got guts, daring to provoke the Chen family so recklessly."
"I'll let you off this time because you're Ye Jinyu's son, but remember, this is the last time."
"Should I thank you?" Ye Xingchen asked in return.
"No need for thanks. Hanyue, tell your sister to keep an eye on his son." Chen Zhengyi said, "If there is a next time, I will definitely not let him off the hook."
"Let's not do it next time, let's do it now?" Ye Xingchen said with a smile. "I know that there are two experts in the Heaven Realm among your bodyguards, one of whom is already at the peak."
"Let them come out. Hiding in the shadows like cowards isn't a good look, is it?"
"Boy, how dare you!" With a loud shout, two old men burst through the door.
The two have reached a state of perfection, making them top-tier.
They stood there, stopping ten steps away from Ye Xingchen, but their aura was released without reservation, directly confronting Ye Xingchen.
"Patriarch, if you give the order, I'll tear this brat apart immediately," one of them said coldly.
Chen Zhengyi clenched his fist, then relaxed it after a moment: "Never mind, step down."
The two glanced at Ye Xingchen reluctantly, then retreated.
"Remember, this is the last time," Chen Zhengyi coldly warned Ye Xingchen before turning and leaving.
As soon as he left, his bodyguards also disappeared without a trace.
"This is so boring." Ye Xingchen shook his head. "I was thinking of giving him a hard time."
“There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. He owes your father a life. Since it's your first meeting, you still have to make it look good.” Xia Hanyue said with a smile, “Let’s go.”
Xia Hanyue went downstairs and got into her car.
"Did you send Lin Nianwei back?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"I had someone send her back. You little brat, you don't just mess with anyone, do you?" Xia Hanyue snorted and glanced at Ye Xingchen. "That beautiful female celebrity is quite good. I think the Ye family will definitely have many descendants in the future."
"Well..." Ye Xingchen said somewhat awkwardly, "Sometimes being too handsome can bring a lot of troubles."
"Have you no shame?" Xia Hanyue glared fiercely at Ye Xingchen.
Ye Xingchen smiled awkwardly, not daring to refute.
"So this counts as a direct confrontation with Chen Zhengyi? What do you think of him?" Xia Hanyue asked.
