After breakfast, Su Yuhan remembered that she had not been to the office for two to three days, so she left in a hurry with Mengmeng and Qianqian.
Ye Chen followed her instructions and washed all the clothes in the washing machine. He mopped the floor and left after telling his parents who had woken up.
At Lin City Hongtai Club, Ye Chen observed Yang Tian and Lin Tai up close. He nodded after a while and said, “Not bad. I’ve only been away for a few days, and both of you have broken through to intermediate-stage Spirit Assembly. Your aura is different now.”
If the two of them could only be considered ordinary people with brute force before, they could now be considered true cultivators.
Perhaps it was because they were following Niu Qingshan on a mission, the two of them would inadvertently reveal a trace of killing intent.
Lin Tai immediately said respectfully, “It’s all thanks to you, my lord. I dare not be arrogant!”
“Ah Tai, you definitely don’t deserve to be arrogant!”
Yang Tian looked at him in disdain and said, “You freaking cultivated for a month before me. Now that I’ve caught up to you, I wouldn’t be arrogant if I were you.”
Lin Tai said with a grim face, “Can you not call me Ah Tai?”
“Okay, Ah Tai…”
Seeing that the two of them were bickering like children, Ye Chen shook his head lightly and said while looking at Lin Tai, “How’s the thing I asked you guys to find out?”
Before he went to Japan, he had instructed Lin Tai to find out the whereabouts of the old man who led Qianqian out of the ghost ship 50 years ago.
Only by finding him would he unravel Qianqian’s identity.
Lin Tai said in a deep voice, “My lord, I spread all my forces but didn’t manage to find anything. It’s been 50 years.”
Ye Chen nodded lightly. He did not have much hope.
After all, 50 years was too long!
Even if someone had seen that old man 50 years ago, most of them would have died 50 years later. And since Shang Santian had been searching for him, he would naturally not let anyone find him easily.
Yang Tian seemed to have thought of something, “Oh right, Old Ye, Ah Tai and I have been in contact with a cultivator from Shang Santian. He said that Shang Santian has been looking for a little girl and an old man…”
He could not help but look at Ye Chen when he said that, “Could it be that Qianqian is…”
“That’s right!”
Ye Chen nodded lightly and said, “It’s great that you know.”
Yang Tian and Lin Tai looked at each other. They could see the deep shock in each other’s eyes. Even though they were guessing, they still found it unbelievable.
A few seconds later, Yang Tian said, “What do you plan to do then? Qianqian will be exposed one day, right?”
“What else can we do? Let’s take it one step at a time!”
Ye Chen chuckled softly, “I’m waiting for someone!”
Shi Qianhan had gone to Shang Santian!
One month was almost up!
He wanted to see if this person could come out alive!
Yang Tian suddenly said, “Old Ye, do you remember when I told you that I was going to introduce a cousin of mine to you?”
Ye Chen was doubtful, “Are you talking about the cousin who could lift two stone lions without cultivation?”
“Yes, that’s him!”
Yang Tian nodded, “His name is Yang Wusong. He has been working at the construction site lately. I didn’t bring him to see you because you were busy. This kid is a scary person. His boss ran away with the money, he chased him all the way to Lin City and even beat him up. I was the one who dragged him out after he was arrested.”
“Ask him to come over.”
Yang Tian took out his phone and dialed a number after Ye Chen said that. Soon, there was a knock on the door.
It was a young man in a suit. He looked about 24 or 25 years old. His facial features were not handsome, but there was a determined look between his brows.
Yang Tian must have told him Ye Chen’s identity beforehand.
Therefore, he was a little nervous when he entered. He stood in a military stance subconsciously and saluted Ye Chen, “Greetings, chief!”
Ye Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry when he called him that. He said while smiling, “I’m not a chief. Just call me Mr. Ye. Have you been in the military before?”
“Mr. Ye, I was a volunteer soldier for two years.”
Yang Wusong nodded and said, “I was promoted to a private first class two years later and I retired. As I’m not educated, I became either a chauffeur or security guard everywhere.”
“Old Ye, this boy has a fiery temper. I heard that when he was in the military, he was unable to become a sergeant because he beat someone up.”
Yang Tian interrupted from the side, “Even after he retired, he often fought with people. That’s why many companies wouldn’t dare to hire him. In the end, he could only work at construction sites.”
“Follow Old Yang first.”
Ye Chen nodded. He did not mind fighting bravely and ruthlessly. After all, he was a young man, and he valued character more.
Just as he was saying that, his phone rang. It was Niu Qingshan, “Ye, come to my place. There are two people I’d like to introduce to you.”
At Dragon Soul’s headquarters, as soon as Ye Chen walked in, he saw a group of people walking past him. Most of them were injured, and Li Ying was leading them.
The moment she saw him, Li Ying stopped in her tracks and greeted him respectfully, “Mr. Ye!”
“What’s wrong with these people?” Ye Chen looked at the people who were injured.
“Mr. Ye, these are the few scums from Tong State!”
Li Ying’s pretty face turned cold as she said with some resentment, “These scums are all from Shang Santian. They broke into the prison the moment they came out. Our brothers were injured because they wanted to suppress them.”
“Has something like this happened frequently recently?” Ye Chen frowned slightly.
Li Ying nodded and said, “It’s getting more and more frequent. In the past, even if there were, there would only be a few of them. However, as more and more people from Shang Santian came into the world, such cases would appear every day in each state. Our brothers are getting increasingly short-handed.”
“I get it now!”
Ye Chen secretly shook his head and walked in.
Looking at his back as he left, Li Ying thought to herself, ‘How great would it be if Mr. Ye could help Dragon Soul. I heard that boss still has the intention to get him to take over as the next Dragon King.’
When Ye Chen approached Niu Qingshan’s room, he heard voices coming from inside. Clearly, he was not the only one.
Niu Qingshan immediately sat up when he saw him, “Ye, you’re here!”
Before Ye Chen could speak, he said while smiling, “I’ll introduce two people to you.”
Ye Chen then noticed a man and a lady sitting next to him.
The other parties also looked up at him.
When their gazes met, they saw surprise in each others’ eyes.
The lady on the right was slightly stunned. She then covered her mouth and giggled, “Ye Chen, I didn’t expect to see you again!”
Who else could it be other than Luo Yao whom Ye Chen met in Japan?
Tang Jianfeng was next to her. He raised his head and nodded at Ye Chen lightly as a greeting.
