After Ye Xingchen cured Zhou Fuwen's illness, he also took charge of some of the internal affairs of Xuanyu Pavilion.
Now that he's come knocking, it's clear that something extraordinary has happened.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Ye Xingchen nodded, got into the car, and drove away.
The vehicle had a special pass, and Ye Xingchen was surprised to find that after getting on the vehicle, he could pass directly through some restricted areas.
After driving to a restricted area to the south, we showed our pass and were allowed to pass. We drove along the winding mountain road for more than half an hour, and then a small military base came into view.
The outer perimeter is surrounded by barbed wire, and inside are heavy armored vehicles and even several attack helicopters.
The place isn't very big, but the weapons displayed inside are quite numerous.
Upon arriving here, Ye Xingchen was surprised to find that not only Zhou Fuwen, but also Ling Yan's grandfather, Ling Xingyan, was there.
"Elder Ling..." Ye Xingchen awkwardly stepped forward and greeted him.
Although he hadn't formally proposed to the Ling family, Ling Yan had already expressed her feelings to him.
Now that Ling Yan has gone abroad with the peacekeeping force to work as a military doctor, Ye Xingchen has not visited the Ling family since arriving in Yanjing.
"Hmph, you've been in Yanjing for so long, and you haven't even come to visit this old man?" Ling Xingyan snorted, his tone extremely displeased.
Ye Xingchen's expression became even more awkward. In retrospect, Ling Xingyan had done a lot of work to help her reunite with her family.
Since arriving in Yanjing, I have been busy with various matters and have indeed been unable to visit in person.
"Mr. Ling, I'm sorry, but I have a few bottles of my treasured wine. I'll bring them to you later as a token of my respect." Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
"That's more like it." Ling Xingyan nodded.
"Um, how is Ling Yan now?" Ye Xingchen asked cautiously.
After Ling Yan went on peacekeeping missions, we lost contact with her.
"Hmph, you still remember Ling Yan? You're only concerned with your own carefree life in Yanjing." Ling Xingyan glared at Ye Xingchen. "There's danger in the conflict zone every day. I've tried to persuade her to come back, but she won't listen."
“There’s nothing we can do. It’s a personality trait passed down from our ancestors, and it’s something that can’t be changed from the inside out.” Ling Xingyan sighed softly and said, “Let her be.”
Ye Xingchen nodded. The old man harbored some resentment towards him, so he didn't dare to offend him.
"Old Zhou, is there something you need from me today?" Ye Xingchen asked Zhou Fuwen.
"Hehe, it's nothing serious, but I heard you cured Cheng Liang?" Zhou Fuwen asked.
"Yes," Ye Xingchen said. "He should be fine after recovering at home for a while."
“That’s good. Cheng Liang and your father were sworn brothers. The reason he was injured back then was because of your father. Now we plan to rehire him as a military bishop.” Zhou Fuwen nodded.
“That’s good. A man like him can’t live without the army. He can’t do anything without it.” Ye Xingchen nodded. “Old Zhou, get to the point. You must have called me here for something.”
“This…” Zhou Fuwen gave a wry smile and said awkwardly, “You and the Chen family have been getting along quite well lately.”
"It was indeed very competitive, but I didn't suffer any losses." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: "But they weren't seriously injured either. The Chen family is a tough nut to crack."
“You know the Chen family is involved in too many things, so sometimes it’s okay to target your enemies,” Ling Xingyan said. “Otherwise, things will get messy for everyone.”
"I know that, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. My target has always been Chen Zhengyi."
"But if others recklessly court death, then it's really not my fault."
"Enough is enough," Ling Xingyan sighed. "We can't go all out against the Chen family for now. Let's settle these personal grudges privately."
"I understand what you two mean. Don't worry, it's a personal grudge and won't escalate to the level of the family. Besides, the Chen family isn't a monolithic entity." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
"Huh, so you're already planning to dismantle it from within?" Zhou Fuwen glanced at Ye Xingchen.
"They already had internal conflicts; I just made those conflicts bigger," Ye Xingchen said.
“Then you should also be careful. The Chen family isn’t as simple as they seem.” Ling Xingyan couldn’t help but say, “Be careful not to be taken advantage of.”
"I know, I'm keeping an eye on it," Ye Xingchen nodded.
On their way home from school, Cheng Xinrui and Li Yijin walked together.
Now Cheng Xinrui obediently acts as Li Yijin's underling, and this guy even wants to develop Li Yijin into his master's wife.
This kid was a top student and quite arrogant, but after witnessing Ye Xingchen's abilities, he put away all his pride.
Because he discovered that in the face of absolute power, all clever tricks are futile.
"Cheng Xinrui, where did you get this dagger? It's pretty good." Li Yijin fiddled with a Swiss Army knife, looking very curious.
“This is a Swiss Army knife, specially made, not one of those handicrafts circulating in the market. It was a war trophy my dad captured overseas.” Cheng Xinrui watched her playing with the knife and couldn’t help but move away from her: “Be careful, this thing is too sharp.”
"It's a really nice thing, you gave it to me." Li Yijin had taken a liking to the knife.
"No way! These are my dad's spoils of war. I secretly took them out to play with. If he finds out, I'm doomed!" Cheng Xinrui panicked.
Cheng Liang valued his military achievements highly. Every time he won a battle, he would take something from his opponent as a trophy.
This knife was his weapon of war. Cheng Xinrui took it from his father's room. If he found it missing, someone would die.
"You're so stingy. Let me borrow it for a few days, for self-defense." Li Yijin rolled her eyes. "Alright, I'm leaving."
Li Yijin turned and got into the car, leaving under the escort of several bodyguards.
The company currently escorting Li Yijin is a well-known domestic security company, and there is also a master of the Heavenly Realm in charge. Since falling out with the Chen family, Li Tianqi has been particularly cautious.
Several cars took Li Yijin away, and as darkness fell, the cars drove onto the elevated road and slowly headed towards the Li family home.
"Number 1, everything is normal."
The company responsible for Li Yijin's safety is the well-known Xuanshui in China, and this company is indispensable at some important occasions.
Moreover, they have international business as well, and are highly professional.
The escort vehicle in front kept observing the surroundings and only notified Li Yijin's car after confirming that it was safe.
"Received on the 1st. Please continue to pay attention to the surrounding road conditions."
Sitting in the specially designed bulletproof car, Li Yijin looked at a middle-aged man with his eyes slightly closed and said somewhat boredly, "Uncle Huang, are you always so quiet? You don't even chat with me while we're sitting in the car?"
The middle-aged man was named Huang Jiucheng. He was a highly respected elder of the Songyue Sect, with strength around the Heavenly Realm.
