There was a dead silence in the Ye family hall, and the depressing atmosphere made many people breathless.
Over the years, Ye Qingcheng has been in charge of the family business, holding a high and powerful position, and has been impeached more than once. But every time, Ye Qingcheng chose to settle the matter, not because she has no temper, but because she is weak.
Although she has intelligence and business acumen that are beyond the reach of ordinary people, she is ultimately a mortal who cannot cultivate.
In this world where martial arts flourished and strength was respected, she had no future after all.
Therefore, Ye Deyuan and other talents never took this young patriarch seriously. No matter how much she contributed to the family, in their eyes, she was just a tool of the family.
Even those who sympathized with Ye Qingcheng did not dare to offend Ye Deyuan and others who controlled the family's force for a person with no future, and chose to remain neutral and remain silent.
Ye Qingcheng has always been very lonely!
She had shouldered too much alone, but this time she didn't want to be silent anymore.
Not only for Su Chen, but also for herself, to fight against the unfair treatment she has received over the years!
At this moment, looking at Ye Qingcheng with a serious expression and resolute eyes, Ye Deyuan and others' faces were as gloomy as water, but for a moment they didn't know how to refute.
The two sides were facing each other like this, and the surrounding air dropped to freezing point.
"Ye Qingcheng, last time you ordered someone to hurt my son Ye Ling, but you didn't kneel down to apologize. So what if I don't kneel down today?"
In the end, Ye Delin, who was still hot-tempered, couldn't hold it anymore and roared with a arrogant expression.
The burst of true energy raged in the hall, putting great pressure on the mortal Ye Qingcheng, who seemed to want to take action at the slightest disagreement.
"Kneel down and apologize to you? You deserve it!"
Su Chen walked directly in front of Ye Qingcheng, looked directly at the arrogant Ye Delin, and shouted: "I was the one who beat Ye Ling! He colluded with Zhang Kun and intended to murder the young patriarch. It's a special mercy not to kill him!"
People's eyes suddenly became surprised when they looked at Su Chen.
After all, everyone knew that Su Chen's bloodline talent was abolished and his cultivation was completely lost. How could he be Ye Ling and Zhang Kun's opponent?
They had always believed that Ye Qingcheng ordered his maid to do it.
Even Ye Qingcheng looked at Su Chen in shock.
She took the initiative to take on this responsibility just to prevent Ye Delin from doing harm to Su Chen. After all, she still had the protection of the young patriarch, and Ye Delin did not dare to do anything blatantly.
But Su Chen was different. No one in the entire Ye family took his useless son-in-law seriously.
Even if Su Chen didn't want to acknowledge her affection, he shouldn't say it at this time to anger the other person. It was too reckless.
Sure enough, Yedlin went crazy instantly.
"Little beast, you are so brave! Today, I will use your blood to apologize to my son Ye Ling!"
Ye Delin opened his blood-red eyes, like a beast with murderous intent, wanting to tear Su Chen into pieces.
"Then you must have that ability!"
Su Chen sneered, with no fear on his face, and powerful Qi rising in his body.
"Come here, catch him! Today, I will make it impossible for you to live or die!"
Yedlin roared angrily.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, behind Ye Delin, a guard with a powerful aura appeared, his eyes were extremely cold, his true energy surged around his body, and he reached out to grab Su Chen.
A warrior at the third level of Qi Martial Realm!
Feeling the strength of the guard, Ye Qingcheng's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly stepped forward and yelled: "Stop!"
However, the majesty of her young patriarch could no longer suppress Ye Delin, who was eager for revenge.
Ye Deyuan and others did not obey the order and stepped forward. Instead, they all sneered and watched with arms folded.
In their eyes, although Ye Qingcheng was the young patriarch, it was Su Chen who inspired everyone to make the bet, and it was Su Chen who was unreasonable and unforgiving. It was even because of Su Chen that Ye Qingcheng changed from his usual weakness and became strong. of instigation.
They hoped that Ye Delin would take this opportunity to kill Su Chen and avoid future troubles.
How could a useless loser, a mortal who couldn't cultivate, be the opponent of a guard at the third level of Qi Martial Realm?
"court death!"
Su Chen's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he suddenly punched out!
Click!
The unparalleled fist seal collided with the guard, and only a crisp sound was heard, and there was an explosion in the void.
The guard let out a scream, and his arm was blown to pieces by Su Chen. He flew out and hit the ground hard.
boom!
Su Chen strode over and stepped on the guard's head, crushing his head!
Blood splattered in the Presbytery!
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
"He...how can he have such strong fighting power?"
Someone exclaimed, his eyes full of disbelief.
Doesn't it mean that Su Chen's bloodline was taken away, his Dantian Qi sea was destroyed, and he has become a useless person?
Now, even the guards at the third level of Qi Martial Realm were killed by him instantly.
Is this still the good-for-nothing son-in-law that everyone thinks of?
"He's actually...so strong?"
Ye Qingcheng also exclaimed, his beautiful eyes filled with color.
She stared at Su Chen intently, as if she saw Su Chen's figure blocking him in the heavy snow that year again.
Make her feel extremely safe.
"Yedlin, get out and die!"
After Su Chen killed the guard, his expression remained unchanged, he looked in the direction of Ye Delin and shouted loudly.
"You little beast, you're looking for death!"
Yedlin was furious.
He was also shocked and confused, and couldn't believe that his bodyguard was killed by Su Chen so easily.
But what was more in his heart was anger and murderous intent.
Su Chen must die!
boom!
The terrifying true energy spread around him, and his cultivation at the ninth level of the Qi Martial Realm exploded with all his strength, and he was about to kill Su Chen.
Ye Qingcheng's expression changed. Ye Delin's combat power was extremely strong. He represented the Ye family in many expeditions and killed many monsters. Among the elders of the Ye family, he was ranked at the forefront.
Although Su Chen's combat power is good, he may not be Ye Delin's opponent.
Su Chen is in danger!
Ye Qingcheng was about to stand up and stop him, but at this moment, an old voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"stop!"
What suddenly broke in was a burly old man with a strong physique, eyes like an eagle, and an aura like a tiger. With a loud roar, infinite energy fluctuations raged, shocking everyone at the scene.
Astonishingly, he is a true martial artist!
"Old housekeeper!"
Seeing the arrival, everyone, including Ye Deyuan, showed solemn expressions and hurried forward to greet them.
This old housekeeper is not only a powerful True Martial Realm warrior, but also the personal servant of the clan leader Ye Zhenxiao, and is deeply trusted by Ye Zhenxiao.
"Oral command from the patriarch!"
The old butler glanced at everyone coldly and said loudly in a majestic tone: "Let this matter go! Anyone who dares to mention it again will be expelled from the family!"
Ye Zhenxiao's speech was concise and concise, and full of unquestionable domineering power.
Everyone immediately bowed their heads and obeyed the order. Even if Ye Delin was angry, he would not dare to disobey Ye Zhenxiao's order.
Ye Zhenxiao has been the patriarch of the clan for decades and has always been the strongest person in the Ye family. He is tough and domineering. He is absolutely like a local emperor in the Ye family and no one dares to disobey him.
Therefore, he insisted on appointing Ye Qingcheng as the young clan leader. Although everyone was dissatisfied, they did not dare to disobey.
"Old housekeeper, is grandpa out of confinement?"
Ye Qingcheng asked quickly.
"Soon!"
The old housekeeper said expressionlessly.
"My father must have made a breakthrough in his cultivation during this retreat, and next month is his 100th birthday. This is a double blessing. We have prepared a large-scale celebration and are just waiting for my father to come out of retreat!"
Ye Deyuan also hurriedly stepped forward and said.
The old housekeeper squeezed out a stiff smile on his face and said: "Then you should prepare well and don't get into any trouble during this period!"
After saying that, the old butler turned and left.
Ye Deyuan and others also straightened their backs, glanced at Ye Qingcheng, and walked away.
"Boy, you are lucky this time, we will see!"
Ye Delin glared at Su Chen fiercely and strode away.
The clan meeting broke up unhappy, and in an instant, only Ye Qingcheng and Su Chen were left in the hall.
"It was really dangerous just now! Fortunately, the patriarch's words came in time."
Lan Xiang, who just ran in at this time, kept patting her chest with a frightened expression on her face.
Qingzhu, who was following her, was relatively calm, but his eyes flashed with strange colors when looking at Su Chen.
They were not qualified to enter the clan meeting. Qingzhu was sweating when he heard the noise outside the door just now, but Su Chen looked calm at the moment, just like a normal person.
It was as if he wasn't the one who was in danger just now, and he didn't take Yedlin's threat to heart at all.
"Miss, the patriarch gave the order before leaving seclusion. Obviously, he still cares about the lady very much."
Lan Xiang didn't notice this and just smiled at Ye Qingcheng.
"Grandpa does love me very much."
Ye Qingcheng also showed a rare happy smile, but soon returned to his cold posture, and said to Su Chen with a somewhat complaining tone: "You are too impulsive today!"
Judging from Ye Delin's fierce look, it was obvious that he wanted Su Chen's life.
"Hey! When so many of them are targeting you, I'm the only one who can help you! Just forget it if you don't thank me, and blame me instead?"
Su Chen snorted coldly.
"Uncle, don't be angry. The lady is doing this to protect you. After all, Ye Delin is famous for being cruel!"
Lan Xiang quickly advised.
Of course Su Chen knew this, so he was not angry, but felt a little strange.
The patriarch Ye Zhenxiao issued an oral order, seemingly to help Ye Qingcheng resolve the crisis, but he always felt that something was wrong.
The ones who were at fault were obviously Ye Deyuan and Ye Delin!
"Su Chen, don't be dissatisfied. If it weren't for grandpa today, I'm afraid..."
Ye Qingcheng felt that Su Chen was a little resentful. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Su Chen.
"That's right, your grandfather is the best to you in the world. I, Su Chen, am just the son-in-law you bought in exchange for precious medicine. Qingzhu, let's go!"
Su Chen sneered, called Qingzhu and left.
Qingzhu was stunned, but still looked at Ye Qingcheng.
"Incomprehensible!"
Ye Qingcheng shook his head and sighed, then motioned Qingzhu to follow Su Chen.
Just as Qingzhu said, the two people clearly have each other in their hearts and will spare no effort to protect each other, but they just can't talk about it.
Like natural enemies!
In any case, the storm finally ended, and the Ye family returned to peace.
With the help of more powerful alchemists in the Ye Family Guild Hall, the business became more and more prosperous and bigger. Ye Qingcheng was also busier than before, and he soon left these things behind.
After Su Chen returned to his room, he began to continue his cultivation, and occasionally gave advice on Qingzhu's cultivation problems.
Qingzhu naturally accepted the teaching with an open mind. After all, Su Chen was once a top genius in the Daluo Dynasty and a master who had reached the True Martial Realm. After breaking through the ninth level of the Qi Martial Realm, she still made great progress and quickly reached the True Martial Realm.
However, the peaceful days did not last long.
On this day, Qingzhu suddenly informed that someone from the Daluo Business Alliance had sent a letter.
"What is this old boy looking for me for again?"
The letter was naturally sent by Master Xuanyang's order. He only said that he had an urgent matter and asked to see the Master, but he was worried about exposing the relationship between the two, so he invited Su Chen to go to Da Luo Business Alliance.
Su Chen pondered for a moment, but decided to go take a look.
When he brought Qingzhu to Daluo Business Alliance again, he was immediately warmly received by the staff, which was completely different from last time.
Su Chen was directly invited into Master Xuanyang's residence, while Qingzhu remained outside.
"If you have anything to say, tell me, I'm very busy."
Su Chen said directly.
Master Xuanyang's face alternated between happy and worried, and he seemed to be quite torn.
Under Su Chen's urging, he got straight to the point: "The day before yesterday, the city lord Liu Qing found his disciple and hoped that he could refine a pill to save his young son's life. However, the disciple has little talent and little knowledge. I don't know if the master can..."
"The Heavenly Soul Fusion Blood Pill! Isn't that a fifth-grade pill? You think too highly of me as a teacher."
Su Chen curled his lips.
He has the inheritance of the Hunyuan Dan God, and he has also mastered the top fire-control magic such as the Samadhi True Fire Seal, but after all, his mental power is only at the peak of the third level.
Fifth-grade elixirs can only be refined by alchemy masters whose spiritual power reaches level five or above.
