"Venerable, please take a seat."
Wang Tiancheng took a step back, bowed, and cupped his hands.
After witnessing Ye Chen's methods, he finally understood how laughable the so-called Grandmaster was. He was like a baby, unable to fight back.
Ye Chen glanced at Wang Jianguo indifferently.
The latter's expression was complicated. She avoided Ye Chen's gaze and stammered, as if she wanted to say something but could not say it.
He was Ye Chen's elder and had humiliated him several times. When had he ever thought that he needed to bow and scrape?
Ye Chen had no intention of humiliating him. He already knew everything about the prodigal's past. If he were Wang Jianguo, he would probably do the same.
Which father would be willing to marry his daughter to such a person?
He smiled faintly and sat down, but his eyes looked in one direction.
"How long are you going to pretend?"
In the distance, a broken body lying in a pool of blood began to squirm.
Master Su, who should have died long ago, stood up slowly. He was covered in blood and his face was filled with fear.
"Lord Venerable."
It didn't matter that he got up, but it gave the others a fright.
"Damn, what's going on? Isn't this guy's body about to be split open?”
"What the hell? I've never heard of a Grandmaster being able to resurrect from the dead.”
"Shh, let's see what Wu Zun has to say first."
Many people discussed.
"Revered Martial Artist?"
Ye Chen naturally heard these words.
He was not a Martial Honor, but there was no need to explain. He smiled and looked at Master Su with interest.
"Where did you get your Substitute Talisman?”
Hearing this, Master Su's expression changed drastically. After a long time, he smiled bitterly.
"Lord Wu Zun is really knowledgeable. You even know about the Substitute Talisman. This item was a fortuitous encounter of mine back then.”
"A fortuitous encounter?"
Ye Chen asked.
"I was weak and sickly since I was young. The doctor said that I wouldn't live past ten years old. In the end, when I was nine years old, I accidentally met a Taoist priest.”
"The Taoist priest was wearing a cloak. When he saw me, he said that I had bones and wanted to take me as his disciple.”
"After I became my master, I drank medicinal soup every day and my body gradually recovered. However, my master abandoned me without any warning.
Master Su recalled the past, and there was still some bitterness in his eyes.
" I still don't know why Master left. Before he left, he gave me a Substitute Talisman, saying that it could save my life…"
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed.
As expected, there were cultivators on Earth. Wang Tiancheng had seen them before, and so had Master Su.
However, the level of this cultivator was a little low. Perhaps the one in Wang Tiancheng's memory was a little higher. Master Su's master was at the Foundation Establishment realm at most.
Why did he say that?
Cultivators rarely did things that wasted time. The reason why he took Master Su as his disciple was because he could tell that Master Su had the foundation to cultivate. However, he had misjudged him.
"Although this person has spiritual roots, his five elements are mixed together. He is the most useless pseudo spiritual root. Even if he steps onto the path of cultivation, he will stop at Origin Energy User Level 2.”
Ye Chen glanced at Master Su and deduced the reason why his master had left.
After interacting with Master Su for a long time, he knew that Master Su had a fake spirit root. Naturally, there was no need to stay.
Ye Chen buried his head in his thoughts, but Master Su's heart was in a mess.
He recalled how arrogant he was when he arrived and wanted to slap himself. He gritted his teeth and carefully took half a step forward.
"It's my fault for offending Lord Venerable. I'm willing to exchange this item for Lord Venerable's forgiveness.”
After saying that, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and raised it above his head with both hands.
"What is this?"
Ye Chen did not expect this to happen.
To be honest, he had never thought of taking revenge. It would be a disgrace to be calculative with such a character.
"The contract of Xuanwu Lake!"
Master Su revealed a pained expression.
Xuanwu Lake?
Wang Tiancheng and Wang Jianguo looked at each other, clearly shocked.
"Is it the Xuanwu Lake that has just been completed in the north of the city?”
Wang Jianguo asked.
"That's the place!"
Master Su nodded.
"Is this place very famous?"
Ye Chen searched the prodigal's memories but did not find any information.
"Quite famous."
Wang Jianguo looked at Ye Chen in awe and said,
"Ten years ago, someone took a photo of the divine turtle coming ashore on Xuanwu Lake. It was said that the divine turtle was ten feet tall, had sharp fangs, and its shell was as big as a house. In an instant, it attracted a huge fishing wheel, and the photo was sold for a sky-high price!”
"After that, the Black Tortoise Lake became famous. A large number of people from all over the world came to try to find the divine turtle. Unfortunately, the divine turtle disappeared and never appeared again.”
" Just three years ago, Xuanwu Lake was bought by a mysterious tycoon. He spent a huge sum of money to build it. It was just completed a few days ago. I can imagine that once Xuanwu Lake is opened to the public, it will definitely attract a large number of tourists again..."
Wang Jianguo paused and sighed.
"I really didn't expect that the mysterious tycoon was actually Master Su.”
This guy used his title as a martial arts grandmaster to amass an unknown amount of wealth over the years. He was actually able to swallow such a huge plate like the Xuanwu Lake.
"Divine turtle?"
Ye Chen's interest was piqued. He took the title deed and said,"
"You can leave."
"Thank you, Venerable One."
Master Su took a few steps back and staggered away.
He had a bitter smile on his face. He had worked hard for half his life and had sacrificed a lot.
He had thought that the Xuanwu Lake project would make him rich and his children and grandchildren would enjoy it endlessly. He did not expect that it would be a wedding dress for others.
Master Su gradually walked away, but the Wang family fell into a strange silence.
They realized that they didn't know what to say to Ye Chen.
Especially Wang Jianguo. When he recalled the past and thought about today, a chill ran down his spine.
Thud!
He immediately knelt down.
"Lord Venerable, please spare my life!"
Wang Jianguo lowered his voice.
Even Ye Chen did not expect Wang Jianguo to do this.
In the beginning, there was only a complicated and awkward look in his eyes, but there was not much fear. Why did it become like this?
Little did he know that the more he thought about some things, the more afraid he felt.
Master Su had only been disrespectful, but he had taken out a huge benefit like the Black Tortoise Lake to save his life. As for Wang Jianguo, he had done too many disrespectful things…
Seeing Wang Jianguo bend his knees, many of the Wang family members were surprised, but they did not feel indignant or humiliated.
That was a Revered Martial Artist, he deserved such a big bow!
"I have no intention of taking your life."
Ye Chen shook his head and said,"
"Do you remember what I said? If I save the Wang Clan, what will you give me?”
"Whatever you want, I'll give it to you!" Wang Jianguo answered without hesitation.
Everyone looked at Ye Chen in a daze.
Back then, Ye Chen had followed his father into the Wang Clan with gifts and treasures. He was full of sincerity, but he had been humiliated and fled in a sorry state.
At that time, how arrogant were they?
But today, the head of the Wang Clan was kneeling on the ground, trembling.
"Don't bully the poor…"
Many people sighed in their hearts.
Although her father was kneeling on the ground, Kaiser was not angry. She looked at Ye Chen as if he was a complete stranger.
"A real man should be like this."
Even someone as prideful as King still felt this way.
"What I want is actually not difficult.”
Ye Chen looked at Wang Yiran, his eyes gleaming.
In the past few days, he had actually been searching the internet and observing in secret, hoping to find spiritual items.
However, he found nothing.
After arriving on Earth, the only discovery was on Wang Yiran. Since she had one Vitality Stone, she might have another.
"This…"
Wang Jianguo's expression changed. He was obviously hesitant.
"Is it difficult?"
Ye Chen frowned.
The conditions had been agreed upon. If the Wang Clan went back on their word, he would not let the matter rest.
"Not really. It's just that this matter is a lifelong event after all.”
Wang Jianguo gulped and looked at Wang Tiancheng.
"It would be a blessing for the Wang Clan if they could form a good relationship with Wu Zun.”
Wang Tiancheng muttered to himself and nodded.
Alas, he had succeeded in the end.
Wang Jianguo sighed in his heart and felt a little guilty.
He valued benefits and was greedy, but he treasured his daughter very much. Now, he actually wanted to sacrifice his daughter.
"This is fate…"
He smiled bitterly in his heart and looked at Wang Yiran.
He was stunned.
Wang Yiran's face was flushed, but there was no anger in her eyes.
Wang Jianguo was stunned. Then, he understood and smiled bitterly.
So I was overthinking…
"I agree on behalf of the Wang Clan.”
Wang Jianguo nodded.
Upon hearing this, Kaiser gripped the corner of her clothes tightly. Her sparkling teeth bit her lips, and her eyes were filled with shyness and nervousness.
"Very good. I want as many jade stones as you have on her neck last time!”
Ye Chen said, satisfied.
Jade?
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
"Are you talking about the jade pendant that was originally worn around his neck?”
Wang Jianguo looked as if he had seen a ghost.
"What else?"
Ye Chen frowned.
Only then did he realize that the atmosphere seemed a little off.
After thinking for a while, he understood. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't mean it that way. He didn't expect them to misunderstand.
"He only wants that piece of jade…"
Wang Yiran's face turned pale.
