Chapter 25:

 Ye Family Crisis

Looking at Lu Tianjiang’s ugly expression, Ye Wenchen seemed to see what he was thinking and chuckled:

“You don’t need to worry too much. Such powerful beings don’t appear in the world easily. As for the Heaven Realm expert in that video, he is likely someone from an ancient sect who came out for a look and won’t stay in the secular world for long.”

“Experts only care about improving their strength and are not interested in worldly affairs. Of course, if they were truly interested, the secular world would have already fallen into chaos.”

“That’s true. We don’t need to worry too much. Even if we do, it’s useless—we can’t stop them anyway.”

Lu Tianjiang gave a bitter smile.

Ye Wenchen chuckled.

“We may not be able to stop such experts. But don’t forget—our Huaxia also has guardians. Although they don’t appear openly, without their silent protection, those hidden martial artists would never behave so obediently.”

“Yes. Thanks to those national guardians, the martial world hasn’t descended into chaos.”

Lu Tianjiang nodded.

Then he suddenly remembered something, his expression turning serious.

“By the way, have you heard? Tomorrow the Martial Arts Association will get a new president—and it’s said to be a martial arts grandmaster!”

“A martial arts grandmaster?”

Ye Wenchen’s heart sank. He frowned.

“From Beijing?”

Lu Tianjiang nodded.

“Yes, from Beijing. And you actually know him.”

“Who is it?”

Ye Wenchen took a sip of water.

“Cao Qianzhou.”

“What?! Him?”

Ye Wenchen spat out the water immediately, his face full of disbelief.

Seeing his reaction, Lu Tianjiang couldn’t help but laugh.

“You still remember him?”

“Hmph! Of course I remember him!”

Ye Wenchen’s face darkened as he slammed his palm heavily on the table.

Bang!

“That old thing caused my family’s downfall! If it weren’t for him, how would my only grandson have been kidnapped?”

“Every time I think about it, I get furious! If he hadn’t had a powerful master backing him, how could my Ye family have fallen to this state?”

“Sigh… that’s true.”

Lu Tianjiang recalled the past and couldn’t help but sigh.

“Back then, your Ye family was so glorious. Because of that incident, you were forced to retreat to Jianghai City. He was the mastermind—no wonder you hate him.”

“By the way, your grandson who was taken… is there still no news even now?”

Lu Tianjiang asked.

Ye Wenchen froze for a moment, then sighed in despair.

“Sigh… painful memories. Don’t mention it.”

He had not stopped searching. He had mobilized all his connections over the years, but there was still no news at all.

Perhaps… he was already dead.

His poor grandson had been taken at just two years old, and his life or death remained unknown.

He hated it. He truly hated it.

If not for Cao Qianzhou, the Ye family would still be the number one family in the country.

But everything was destroyed that night.

Dead, injured—his family’s bloodline was now barely remaining.

“That Cao Qianzhou coming to Jianghai to replace the Martial Arts Association president… I don’t think it’s just a simple appointment. He may have come prepared,”

Lu Tianjiang said seriously.

After all, he was a martial arts grandmaster. Even a powerful family like the Lu family had to avoid provoking him.

Not to mention the Martial Arts Association itself, where countless strong warriors were gathered—together they were far more terrifying than a single grandmaster.

Not only the Lu family couldn’t afford to provoke them, even if the Lu family and the three major Jianghai families joined forces, they still couldn’t.

“He wants to use the Martial Arts Association to find an excuse to eliminate our Ye family,”

Ye Wenchen said coldly with a sneer.

How could he not understand Cao Qianzhou’s intentions?

Back then, Cao Qianzhou was restricted by orders from Beijing and had no chance to destroy the Ye family. Otherwise, the Ye family would never have survived until now.

“Old Ye, don’t worry. If he dares to touch your Ye family, he’ll have to ask my Lu family first!”

Lu Tianjiang patted his shoulder, his expression cold.

Ye Wenchen looked at him gratefully, then shook his head helplessly.

“No. Your Lu family must not get involved. His target is me alone. Even your Lu family cannot withstand his attack—he is a true martial arts grandmaster, the peak of martial arts!”

“And even though he is the Martial Arts Association president and won’t easily touch your family, if you provoke him too much, he won’t let your Lu family go either.”

Lu Tianjiang fell silent.

Indeed.

Cao Qianzhou was restricted by the Martial Arts Association and could not easily act against major families.

But…

Beijing was too far away.

If he really wanted to attack a family, reinforcements wouldn’t arrive in time. And after the fact, given his status, he likely wouldn’t receive any serious punishment.

“In that case… we can only have the clan members evacuate Jianghai City before Cao Qianzhou arrives,”

Ye Wenchen sighed deeply.

Lu Tianjiang looked at him with a complicated expression and also let out a sigh.

For something like this,

there truly was no better solution.

……

Meanwhile.

Ye Feng finally bought two cars after some consideration.

One was a Ferrari LaFerrari, fully customized, top configuration, worth 30 million yuan.

The other was more low-key—a four-seat Rolls-Royce Phantom, also fully loaded, worth over 8 million yuan.

He had the Phantom delivered to Lihe Villa District by staff, while he drove the LaFerrari back to his old rented apartment.

He was going to pick up his luggage—and also take his girlfriend to the villa to live together.

He sped all the way to Fengqing Community.

At the gate, the security guard nearly fainted when he saw the Ferrari.

“My god!”

“Which big shot is this?!”

He quickly opened the gate with the remote control. When the Ferrari drove in, he saw Ye Feng in the driver’s seat.

He froze.

He recognized Ye Feng.

Wasn’t he just a college student about to start school?

How could he possibly drive such a luxury supercar?

He originally thought it was a rented car, but after taking a photo to identify the model, he was completely stunned.

This was actually a Ferrari LaFerrari???

Worth tens of millions?!

What the hell!!!

Even rental companies offer cars at this level now?

He couldn’t believe it and checked rental apps—but there was no LaFerrari listed anywhere, only ordinary Ferraris worth a few million.

He was completely dumbfounded.

A terrifying thought suddenly emerged in his mind.

Could Ye Feng be a young master from some powerful family, out here experiencing life?

Thinking this, he immediately slapped himself.

Damn it!

If he had known Ye Feng was a real young master, he could have flattered him, clung to him, and saved decades of struggle…

He was filled with regret, pounding his chest in despair.

But it was already too late.

Even if he wanted to curry favor now, Ye Feng probably wouldn’t even acknowledge him.

Opportunities don’t wait for people…
