Ye Chen's thoughts were completely imperceptible to Ye Lingtian, leaving him both amused and exasperated. This kid actually dared to claim he was his elder brother's son or grandson—he was utterly audacious!
"Forehead……"
"you……"
Hearing Ye Lingtian's laughing and cursing, Ye Chen was completely stunned. What was going on? This person actually knew what he was thinking? This was too outrageous!
He's a Great Luo Golden Immortal! You have to understand, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal can't easily see into someone else's inner world.
However, Ye Chen was utterly shocked that this mysterious person could hear his thoughts so easily.
Ye Chen couldn't help but start speculating about the other party's identity and strength. Just how powerful would one need to be to know the thoughts of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal?
Ye Chen didn't know, but he was certain that this person was definitely not an ordinary being. Perhaps, his strength had already surpassed that of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, reaching an even higher level.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen couldn't help but gasp. How should he deal with such an unfathomable opponent?
At that moment, he suddenly realized how naive his previous thoughts had been. In this world, many unknown forces awaited his exploration, and the person before him had undoubtedly given him a profound lesson.
"What, are you surprised?" Ye Lingtian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
Ye Chen stared wide-eyed at Ye Lingtian in astonishment, muttering to himself, "How can I not be surprised? You even heard my thoughts. I don't dare to think anything now."
Ye Lingtian seemed to see through Ye Chen's thoughts, chuckled, and said, "Alright, answer a few questions for me! As for my identity, you'll find out soon enough."
Ye Chen took a deep breath and nodded.
Ye Lingtian smiled slightly and then asked, "Who is Luo Yiyi to you?"
Upon hearing this name, Ye Chen's expression became somewhat complicated. He lowered his head, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "Luo Yiyi, she is my grandmother."
Luo Yiyi was the woman Ye Lingtian dated before he transmigrated, and the current Ye family bloodline is all thanks to Luo Yiyi.
Ye Lingtian inquired about Ye Chen's relationship with Luo Yiyi because he wanted to understand the true nature of his own relationship with Ye Chen. After all, apart from Luo Yiyi, everyone else was a stranger to him, including his child with Yiyi, whom he had no recollection of and didn't even know the name of.
Ye Chen looked up and saw a hint of doubt on Ye Lingtian's face. A sense of curiosity welled up in his heart, but he did not ask any questions. He simply waited quietly for Ye Lingtian's next question, and his thoughts returned to his childhood.
When he was very young, probably only a few years old, his grandmother died in a beast tide.
At that time, he lived a carefree life in the Great Xia with his parents, his elder brother, and his grandmother. Unfortunately, the sudden outbreak of the beast tide caused his grandmother and mother to perish in the tide. Only his father escaped with him and his elder brother.
From then on, his father took him and his elder brother on a journey through the Great Xia Dynasty to practice martial arts.
Years later, he and his older brother grew up, and their father's martial arts skills reached their peak at that time.
Unwilling to accept that the Great Xia Dynasty was constantly facing invasions from myriad races and alien beasts, his father embarked on a journey through the stars alone, leaving him and his elder brother in Tianhai City.
The Ye family in Tianhai City was the bloodline left behind by his elder brother, and he himself set foot in the starry sky many years later.
This is how Ye Chen, the prodigy who became famous throughout the Central Heaven Star Region five thousand years ago, came to be.
As for his elder brother, Ye Chen doesn't know whether he's alive or dead, because since arriving in the Zhongtian Star Region, Ye Chen hasn't returned to Daxia.
Five thousand years ago, it was famous throughout the Central Heaven Star Region and was courted by various forces. When they failed to win it over, they wanted to destroy it, especially the Netherworld Temple.
Her own father died at the hands of the Netherworld Ghost while trying to save her.
For so many years, Ye Chen has lived in hatred. In order to avenge his father, Ye Chen endured for five thousand years until recently when he finally broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Upon breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Ye Chen couldn't wait any longer and immediately stepped into the Netherworld Temple, wanting to kill the Netherworld Ghost to avenge his father.
Ye Chen was quite confident in his combat strength. Although he had just broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he no longer took even a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal like the Netherworld Ghost seriously.
It's a pity he underestimated the strength of the Netherworld Temple. He didn't expect that in addition to the Netherworld Ghost, the Netherworld Temple also had four peak Grand Luo Golden Immortals.
If Ye Lingtian hadn't been there, it would be uncertain whether Ye Chen would have been able to escape at this moment.
"Your grandma?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingtian fell silent.
Although he had already guessed the general idea, when he actually learned that Ye Chen in front of him was indeed his grandson, Ye Lingtian was at a loss for how to face him.
"Who...are you?"
How do you know my grandmother's name?
Ye Chen looked at Ye Lingtian and asked with a hint of doubt.
At first, he thought Ye Lingtian might be a descendant of his elder brother, but based on the other party's words and strength, he immediately rejected this idea.
If this person is truly a member of the Ye family, then the other person's seniority is definitely above his.
Was it his grandfather?
Or was it great-grandfather?
Since his grandmother only had one son, his father, it was absolutely impossible for her to be his uncle or aunt.
However, his grandmother once told him that his grandfather was an orphan, which meant that Ye Lingtian would only be his grandfather.
Don't you already have the answer in your heart?
Ye Lingtian's gaze was somewhat complicated, and he smiled helplessly.
"You...you are really my grandfather Ye Lingtian?"
Ye Chen stared wide-eyed in shock, looking at the man in front of him with disbelief.
Although he had never met his grandfather, his grandmother had told him stories about him since he was a child. Therefore, he was very familiar with his grandfather's name—Ye Lingtian.
"That's right, I am Ye Lingtian."
Ye Lingtian walked up to Ye Chen, slowly raised his hand and patted Ye Chen's shoulder, a hint of guilt showing in his eyes.
“I know that you may blame me, hate me, hate me for leaving your grandmother without saying goodbye back then.”
Ye Lingtian's voice was low and hoarse, filled with endless regret and self-blame.
What happened back then remains an indelible wound in Ye Lingtian's heart.
Even after so many years, it still feels like a sharp thorn is stuck in his heart. Whenever he thinks about it, it causes him unbearable pain and makes it hard for him to let go.
