While people were arguing online about the top ten spots.
Ye Yi had already led a group of bodyguards from Shiqiao to pay a visit to the Chen family.
Although the Chen family was surprised by Ye Yi's visit, as he was currently one of the most popular figures in the country, he still attracted a lot of attention.
Because Ye Yi now holds the key to the new era, no one would want to offend him for no reason.
Upon arriving at the Chen family's manor, Ye Yi was immediately captivated by its luxurious appearance.
After all, there are very few such manors in the entire Dragon Kingdom.
However, Chen Zhirang, the current leader of the middle-aged generation of the Chen family, was already waiting for Ye Yi's arrival at the door.
Chen Zhirang now holds a very high status in the Chen family.
He is the brother of Chen Yang's father and is also the current apparent head of the Chen family.
When the elders of the Chen family do not appear or express their opinions, he can be said to have the ability to speak eloquently.
"Haha, I've wanted to visit Professor Ye for a long time, but unfortunately the Chen family has a lot of affairs to attend to, and I'm not very familiar with Professor Ye, so I'm afraid it wouldn't be good to disturb him rashly."
Chen Zhirang said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, a thought flashed through Ye Yi's mind. This guy is a cunning old fox; his methods are not simple.
"Not at all. As a junior, I should take the initiative to visit the Chen family. However, I have too many important experiments to do, which is why I have been delayed until now."
Tsk, this young man is no ordinary person. Chen Zhirang inwardly scrutinized the current official spokesperson for the Dragon Kingdom.
The two exchanged a brief exchange, then chatted casually like familiar friends as they slowly walked into the manor.
As soon as Ye Yi entered the manor, he was startled, because in his perception, there were two enhanced humans in the entire Chen family manor.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that the Chen family's influence within the government is not insignificant.
There are currently no more than a hundred enhanced humans in the entire Dragon Kingdom. Most of them are in the Dragon Group, and the other half are protecting important figures in the Dragon Kingdom. There are not many enhanced humans who can truly be free. The fact that the Chen family has two of them is something Ye Yi never expected.
"Hehe, the Chen family is quite powerful. They actually have two enhanced humans."
Ye Yi said with a smile, while simultaneously revealing Chen's true strength.
As expected, Chen Zhirang's pupils shrank instantly upon hearing this, and he stared sharply at Ye Yi, but soon he smiled and said...
"Not at all, Professor Ye, they are definitely not as powerful as your bodyguard group. There are more than a dozen enhanced humans behind you. You can say they are the number one in the Dragon Kingdom."
The flattery made Ye Yi narrow his eyes.
"By the way, there's something I'm curious about. Chen Yang from the previous National Martial Arts Competition must be from your family, right? I just don't know if he's still in your family now."
The atmosphere froze as soon as he said that, and Chen Zhirang looked at Ye Yi with scrutiny.
"Professor Ye, I don't think there's any need for us to play these tricks on each other. If there's anything you need, please let me know. My Chen family will do everything in our power to help."
"Actually, nothing much happened. I noticed Chen Yang on the first day of the opening ceremony. I thought he would make it into the top ten, but I didn't expect him to be eliminated. It's such a pity."
"Professor Ye, if Chen Yang's cooperation is needed, my Chen family will immediately send Chen Yang to assist you in your experiment."
Chen Zhirang responded quickly.
"Great! I'm really looking forward to Chen Yang's arrival."
But to Chen Zhirang's surprise, Ye Yi actually agreed.
This was somewhat unbelievable to Chen Zhirang, because if Ye Yi agreed, it meant that Chen Yang would become one of the Dragon Group's trainees.
The resources consumed are therefore quite substantial.
However, since Ye Yi has already agreed, Chen Zhirang will definitely not let Ye Yi go back on his word.
He quickly agreed.
"Alright, Professor Ye, you can take that kid away later. But that kid is a bit unruly, so Professor Ye will have to put in some effort."
"How could that be? Chen Yang is the most talented person I've seen so far. He can definitely become the top talent in our Dragon Group's research department. However, I need to curb his personality a bit, and that will require the cooperation of your Chen family."
Ye Yi also stated his thoughts directly.
As expected, Ye Yi's idea startled Chen Zhirang. It seemed that Ye Yi valued Chen Yang much more than he had imagined.
However, this is also good. In this new era, the closer one gets to Ye Yi, the more one can benefit from the dividends of this era. So, since Ye Yi values Chen Yang so much, what reason does the Chen family have not to give him their full support?
"Alright, Professor Ye, rest assured, our Chen family will unconditionally cooperate with you in disciplining Chen Yang."
Chen Zhirang nodded in assurance.
"By the way, after seeing Chen Yang's skills, I became very curious about Chen Yang's master. After asking the people around me, I learned about the old gentleman of the Chen family from them. Please forgive me for mentioning that I was spying on the Chen family."
Ye Yi also revealed the purpose of his trip: the matter of the Chen family's extraordinary individuals was far more important to Ye Yi than Chen Yang.
"Ah, I see. But I'm sorry to disappoint you, Professor Ye. If you had searched for several months, you might have been able to see Elder Tie, but he passed away a few months ago."
Chen Zhirang suddenly sighed.
These words startled Ye Yi, but he was already prepared. After all, when he entered the Chen family manor, he sensed two powerful forces that enhanced people. The owners of these forces were full of vigor, so they were definitely not from the Chen family's background.
Since no one sensed it, then the old man from the Chen family must have either left the Chen family or passed away.
However, judging from the old man's lifespan, he must have passed away.
However, the old man's lifespan when he died still surprised Ye Yi.
From Old Li's words, Ye Yi learned that the old man had been protecting Chen Xu when he was seventeen or eighteen years old.
It was only when the old man was in his twenties that he achieved the Ming Jin skill. At the same time, Chen Xu and the founding emperor established the current Dragon Kingdom. So the old man should only be a little over a hundred years old now.
This is still a long way off for a master of Ming Jin (a type of martial arts).
According to the "Basic Chinese Martial Arts" book that Ye Yi obtained, a master of Ming Jin (a type of martial arts technique) can live to be 130 years old. This is a standard lifespan. If some masters of Chinese martial arts take good care of themselves, they can even live to be around 160 or 170 years old. So, it was indeed unexpected for Ye Yi to die at just over 100 years old.
"I'm sorry, I don't know. But did the old man leave behind any secret manuals? I'm currently facing some loopholes in my enhancement experiment and need some information. When I heard that the old man had once entered the Ming Jin realm, I immediately came to visit him."
Ye Yi said directly.
Ye Yi's words made Chen Zhirang pause for a moment before he spoke.
"Our Chen family has indeed preserved some of Master Tie's insights into traditional Chinese martial arts. However, these things belong to Master Tie after all, so it is up to Master Tie's family to make the decision. Therefore, Professor Ye, I cannot give any guarantees on this matter."
Ye Yi was quite surprised to hear Chen Zhirang's words, not expecting the Chen family to respect the elder's ideas so much.
This also made Ye Yi look at the Chen family with new respect.
Because Ye Yi has given the Chen family enormous benefits, under normal circumstances, how could a large family like the Chen family possibly care about the feelings of a servant in the family?
They would definitely agree immediately.
Don't think this idea is too cold-blooded. After all, for these large families, prosperity and survival are the most important things.
Ye Yi couldn't help but look at the Chen family with new respect.
"Okay, I'd like to ask about the elderly person's family."
Ye Yi nodded and said.
However, Chen Zhirang paused for a moment before speaking.
"Actually, Master Tie's family values personal strength and martial arts experience. However, Master Tie's grandson is not doing well right now, so perhaps you can start from there."
At this point, Chen Zhirang fell silent, because he didn't know what else to say.
"I understand. Brother Chen, please introduce me to Old Tie's family."
Chen Zhirang smiled.
"Extremely happy to."
After finishing speaking, he continued to tell Ye Yi about the structure and architecture of the Chen Family Manor.
After walking for about half an hour in the manor, Ye Yi finally stopped in a small house because Chen Zhirang told him that they had arrived at the former residence of Tie Lao.
Looking at this extremely luxurious villa, Ye Yi finally believed that Old Tie was highly respected in the Chen family.
Slowly pushing open the gate, I saw that quite a few people were already sitting in the courtyard, including middle-aged people, elderly people, men, and women.
As soon as the door was slowly opened, these people immediately turned their attention to the person who came in.
They were the first to see Chen Zhirang and stood up to greet him respectfully.
"Master."
Chen Zhirang chuckled and said.
"This time, it's my colleague who wants to talk to you about something, so you don't need to pay too much attention to my presence."
Chen Zhirang smiled very gently.
These people slowly nodded. It was clear that they were also members of the Chen family, and he had informed them.
"Young Master Ye, is there anything I can help you with?"
Then, one of the men, a robust middle-aged man, spoke up.
The middle-aged man exuded a heroic aura, making it clear at a glance that he was definitely a soldier.
Ye Yi nodded in understanding. This person was definitely the one in charge of this family. Moreover, a family head who could have a soldier as the person in charge must not be too bad. Therefore, Ye Yi put his worries to rest.
He said with a smile.
"I've heard that Master Tie is a figure in the martial arts world of our Dragon Kingdom, and he must have some martial arts insights. So I would like to request a copy of his martial arts insights."
Seeing that Ye Yi wasn't particularly arrogant, the middle-aged man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he still spoke.
"I'm sorry, this is the only relic left by my ancestor. Before he passed away, he said that this item could only be given to a martial arts master. So I apologize."
The middle-aged man looked somewhat ashamed.
However, these words made Ye Yi's eyes light up, because now all the people in the entire Dragon Kingdom who could be called martial arts masters were in the Dragon Kingdom, so it shouldn't be that difficult to obtain this thing.
So Ye Yi spoke up.
"I wonder what kind of expert can be called a martial arts master in your eyes."
The middle-aged man fell silent this time, but soon spoke again.
"My master had countless disciples, but only six were truly accepted into his fold. Two of them have passed away, and the other four are now renowned figures in the martial arts world."
If you can gain the approval of the four, I will immediately present you with the martial arts techniques.
After speaking, the middle-aged man still looked at Ye Yi very nervously, as if he was afraid that this rich kid would refuse and make his boss look bad.
Although they knew Ye Yi's identity, the fact that their boss could accompany them meant that Ye Yi's identity must be extraordinary, which made them somewhat wary.
However, to his surprise, Ye Yi immediately said...
"Okay, no problem."
"It's a deal."
"What's done is done. Haha, I hope Brother Chen will take this as a lesson."
Ye Yi said to Chen Zhirang with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll be a witness."
Chen Zhirang immediately smiled and said, but his eyes were full of disappointment, because it seemed that Tie Lao's family did not ask for any benefits.
Given Ye Yi's current status, if he were to reveal anything, it would be highly coveted by everyone. However, it seems that such an opportunity is no longer available.
Ye Yi also saw through Chen Zhirang's thoughts, but didn't say anything about why, as Ye Yi had already prepared for this.
"Ishibashi, go and do this."
Ye Yi abruptly gave an order to Shi Qiao, who had been protecting him.
Shi Qiao looked at Ye Yi in surprise and then said.
"Sir, I still need to protect you. Why don't you send someone else?"
"It's okay, I believe you'll be able to finish it soon."
Ye Yi said casually.
As soon as Ye Yi said this, many young people in the audience curled their lips in disdain, sensing that this powerful figure was somewhat ignorant.
However, due to his status, these people didn't say anything. Ye Yi also saw what they were thinking, but for him, there was no point in explaining these misunderstandings.
However, Ye Yi was more concerned about Shi Qiao's thoughts.
After a brief silence, Shiqiao finally spoke.
"Okay, I'll get on it right away."
After saying that, he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to everyone present, and then strode out the door with great efficiency.
Since Ye Yi trusted him, Shi Qiao was determined to handle the matter perfectly.
Ye Yi then spoke to Chen Zhixiong.
"Hehe, Brother Chen, I'll have to bother you for a few more days."
"Really? I'd love to hear that, and Chen Yang will need your guidance."
Chen Zhixiong also said with a smile.
After saying their goodbyes, the two also bid farewell to Tie Lao's family.
Subsequently, the large group of people, led by Chen Zhixiong, moved into a separate courtyard.
It must be said that this estate is enormous.
Although it is a manor, it has all kinds of facilities.
Therefore, in Ye Yi's eyes, the Chen family's foundation was still quite impressive.
