353: Chapter 353 Should I marry that bastard?

The news spread throughout the Capital overnight as if it had grown wings.

Ye Chen.

A young man in his early twenties.

Single-handedly stormed the Sima Family.

Killed Sima Li, decapitated Sima Ling, and crippled Sima Yao with a single kick.

That wasn't all...

Chen Nufang, the Third Elder of the Chen Family and a Peak Celestial Master Realm expert, was stomped to death by him in public, his head bursting open.

The entire Capital was in an uproar.

The circle of prominent families was in a frenzy.

Countless people spent a sleepless night!

Countless people were frantically searching for information!

Countless people were repeatedly confirming the same thing at dining tables, in teahouses, and over the phone...

Is it true or false???

Rumor has it that Chen Nufang had just stepped into the Peak Celestial Master Realm!

An expert of that level is an existence that can walk tall anywhere!

Yet he was stomped to death by a young man in his early twenties?

Is this something a human can fucking do???

But as the news spread, it became more believable and detailed.

How Chen Nufang died and how Ye Chen delivered the kick were described with vivid detail.

Finally, everyone had to accept one fact...

A true God of Slaughter had arrived in the Capital.

...

The Yan Family.

In the study, the candlelight flickered.

Yan Huifeng sat in a grand armchair.

He was Yan Qingwu's father and the head of the Yan Family.

But at this moment.

He was clutching a slip of paper, the expression on his face indescribably complex.

There were only a few short lines on the paper, recording Ye Chen's great feats from last night.

Yan Huifeng stared at those lines and remained silent for a long time.

He knew Ye Chen was strong.

When Xuanyuan Huo personally invited Ye Chen to serve as the Chief Instructor of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, he knew this young man was not simple.

Therefore.

When Yan Qingwu willfully ran off to Xiamen City and even spent a large sum of money to rent the apartment above Ye Chen's residence, he didn't make her come back.

Instead, he observed silently.

But he never expected...

That Ye Chen could be strong to this extent!

The Chen Family.

That was the Chen Family from the Kunlun Ruins.

Although it was only a small family, it was still from the Kunlun Ruins.

Of the families that could establish themselves in the Kunlun Ruins, which one didn't have deep roots and a multitude of experts?

Chen Nufang, the Third Elder of the Chen Family, with the strength of someone who had just entered the Peak Celestial Master Realm, might not be considered top-tier in the Kunlun Ruins, but in the secular world, he was an invincible existence.

Yet such a person...

Was stomped to death by Ye Chen.

Yan Huifeng put down the paper and sighed softly.

The Yan Family also had its own main branch in the Kunlun Ruins.

Because of this, he knew better than outsiders what the Peak Celestial Master Realm meant, and even better what a young man who could stomp a Peak Celestial Master Realm expert to death represented.

He was silent for a while before picking up his phone from the desk, finding a number, and dialing it.

The phone rang a few times before it was picked up.

Yan Qingwu's voice came from the other end, sounding a bit lazy and impatient: "Dad, why are you calling so early? What is it?"

She was upset because Ye Chen had acted as a hands-off boss and dumped those 120 people on her!

Yan Huifeng didn't bother with pleasantries and asked directly: "Qingwu, tell me, how strong is that Ye Chen's strength exactly?"

Yan Qingwu's annoyed voice rang out.

"Dad, you called in the middle of the night just to ask this?"

"Don't you already know? He's in the Celestial Master Realm! He even killed Gongsun Long of the Black Prison!"

"Celestial Master Realm, definitely the Celestial Master Realm!"

Yan Huifeng fell silent.

Yan Qingwu waited for a few seconds and, hearing no response, asked impatiently: "Dad? Why is there no sound?"

Yan Huifeng spoke slowly.

"Not long ago, he killed the Third Elder of the Chen Family."

Yan Qingwu was stunned for a moment: "The Chen Family? Which Chen Family? That Chen Family from the Northeast?"

Yan Huifeng's voice became somewhat complex.

"It's not the one from the Northeast."

"It's the one from the Kunlun Ruins."

The other end of the phone went quiet.

It was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard.

After several seconds, Yan Qingwu's voice rang out again, but this time, her tone had completely changed.

"What did you say? That Chen Family from the Kunlun Ruins?"

"Is he crazy?"

"He dared to touch someone from the Kunlun Ruins?!"

"Wasn't he in Western Hunan? Why did he run off to the Capital again?!"

Her voice was full of shock and a hint of inexplicable anger.

"What a piece of work, that Ye Chen!"

"Dumping the mess on me while he runs off to the Capital to cause trouble!"

"He's certainly living it up!"

Hearing his daughter's tone, Yan Huifeng couldn't help but give a bitter laugh.

He knew why his daughter was angry.

That fellow Ye Chen had dumped all 120 people from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion on Yan Qingwu and then left without a care.

For the past two days, Yan Qingwu had been training those wolf cubs every day, exhausting herself and harboring a belly full of fire.

And yet Ye Chen had gone to the Capital and caused such a huge commotion.

It would be strange if she weren't angry.

Yan Huifeng shook his head and said slowly: "Qingwu, the problem isn't that."

Yan Qingwu was confused.

"Then what is it?"

Yan Huifeng's voice lowered slightly.

"The problem is..."

"Chen the Third's strength was already at the Peak Celestial Master Realm."

"In the end... he was stomped to death by Ye Chen."

???

Yan Qingwu was completely stunned.

How could she not be?

She never expected...

That Ye Chen was actually so badass!

Directly killing a Peak Celestial Master Realm expert!?

Then how strong is he himself!

Yan Qingwu's breath hitched as she suddenly snapped out of it.

"Dad, are you sure you're not joking with me?"

"A Peak Celestial Master Realm expert was stomped to death?"

"Are you sure he was stomped to death, and not beaten to death???"

Yan Huifeng gave a bitter laugh and spoke slowly.

"The news has already spread throughout the Capital."

"Chen Nufang, at the Peak Celestial Master Realm, in front of seven people from the Chen Family, had his face stomped on by Ye Chen, his head embedded into the ground, dying on the spot."

"Those seven people watched it with their own eyes and were so scared they knelt down on the spot."

On the other end of the phone, Yan Qingwu clutched her phone, completely dumbfounded.

She recalled the scene when she first met Ye Chen.

At that time, they met at an auction in Yanjing.

Ye Chen saved her and forced Black Fiend, one of the Black and White Impermanence from the Soul Hall, to blow himself up.

Yet Ye Chen was completely unharmed.

At the time, she thought Ye Chen was a Heaven Realm Expert, which she already found incredible.

Later.

Her father told her that Ye Chen had even killed the Black Prison Master.

That was a Celestial Master Realm expert!

In the end...

Only a few days later, her own father told her that the guy had stomped a Peak Celestial Master Realm expert to death.

Is this guy even human?

Yan Qingwu took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

But she found that she couldn't calm down at all.

"That freak..."

"To think I've been training those wolf cubs for him every day!"

"He's having a grand time, going to the Capital to stomp on Peak Celestial Master Realm experts for fun!"

"When I see him, I'll definitely..."

Before she could finish, she suddenly got stuck.

Definitely what?

Definitely give him a beating?

But could she even beat him?

Yan Qingwu's face instantly slumped.

Hearing his daughter's tone, Yan Huifeng couldn't help but laugh: "What? You want to beat him?"

Yan Qingwu's composure broke, and she snapped back crossly.

"Beat him my foot! Can I even win?"

Yan Huifeng smiled.

"Qingwu, have you ever thought..."

"What it would mean for the Yan Family if someone like Ye Chen could be brought to our side?"

Yan Qingwu was stunned for a moment.

Yan Huifeng continued.

"He's in his early twenties and can already kill a Peak Celestial Master Realm expert."

"In another few years, ten years, twenty years..."

"How strong will he become?"

"If such a person could become the son-in-law of the Yan Family..."

Before he could finish, Yan Qingwu exploded.

"Dad!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Make me marry that bastard?"

"Impossible!!!"

"Absolutely impossible!!!"

"He's just a 'Number Six'! Scheming! A master of passing the buck! I'm not marrying him!"

Hearing his daughter's intense reaction, Yan Huifeng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Alright, alright, no marrying then."

"However..."

He paused, his tone carrying a hint of playfulness, "You just called him a 'Number Six', scheming, and a master of passing the buck... but why does it sound to me like you know him quite well?"

Yan Qingwu became wary: "Wait... Dad, what do you mean?!"

Yan Huifeng didn't answer; he just laughed and hung up the phone.

Yan Qingwu clutched her phone, completely dazed.

It took several seconds for her to suddenly react.

"Dad!"

"You're digging a hole for your daughter!"

But there was no one left to respond on the other end.

Yan Qingwu stood there, stamping her feet in anger.

She took a deep breath, and then another, trying to calm herself down.

But Ye Chen's face uncontrollably surfaced in her mind.

That face that always wore a harmless smile but was actually full of schemes.

"That bastard..."

She gritted her teeth, squeezing out a few words.

"The next time I see you, I'll definitely..."

Definitely what?

She thought for a long time but couldn't come up with anything.

Finally.

She could only stamp her feet hard and turn back into the house.

She definitely had to find this scoundrel and ask for an explanation!
