717: Chapter 717 Mr. Ye, you make me feel very at ease!

Chairman Lee Seung-heon's expression was not very good either.

Of course, he did not want to offend the Park Family, but he wanted even less for his granddaughter to be wronged.

However, in the current situation, if things continued to escalate, it would benefit no one.

He was just about to open his mouth to say a few polite words to smooth things over...

"Did I say we were finished here?"

A calm voice came from the side.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

Ye Chen stood there, looking indifferent.

Piao Zhenying's smile froze on his face.

"Mr. Ye, you..."

Ye Chen glanced at him and interrupted.

"Your son just claimed in public that I was lusting after Miss Li, and I explained myself."

"Now that Miss Li says she feels your son is not good, do you expect to brush it off with a single 'just joking'?"

"On what grounds?"

The entire room fell into a dead silence.

Piao Zhenying's expression darkened completely, a flash of anger crossing his eyes.

The other party was simply going too far!

He was actually refusing to let this matter go!

But that bastard was the Chief Instructor of the Dragon Group, so he dared not lash out.

Piao Zhenying took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the rage in his heart: "Mr. Ye, then what do you want?"

Ye Chen ignored him and turned to look at Lee Yoon-hee.

"Miss Li, let me ask you."

"How do you feel when you look at me?"

The room went quiet.

Everyone's gaze fell on Lee Yoon-hee, waiting for her answer.

Lee Yoon-hee looked at Ye Chen and shook her head.

"You... make me feel at ease."

After saying this, her face instantly flushed to the roots of her ears, and she lowered her head quickly, not daring to look into Ye Chen's eyes again.

In those almond-shaped eyes, it was as if a startled fawn was hidden, its heart pounding wildly.

The room was in an uproar.

"What? At ease?"

"Miss Li thinks Young Master Park is not good, but feels at ease looking at that person from the Dragon Kingdom?"

"No way... this is too absurd, right? Could it be that she already knew this person from the Dragon Kingdom, and they are working together to insult Young Master Park?"

...

The guests whispered to each other, the sound of discussion rising wave after wave.

Some found it unbelievable, some were lost in thought, and some looked at Park Changfan with a meaningful look in their eyes.

Park Changfan stood there, his expression extremely colorful.

He never expected that Lee Yoon-hee would say such things in front of so many people.

Feeling he is not good? Feeling at ease with Ye Chen?

Wasn't this a blatant slap in his face?

"Miss Li, you..."

Park Changfan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but was grabbed by Piao Zhenying.

Piao Zhenying's face was livid as he shook his head at him.

In this situation, saying anything would be wrong.

That man named Ye was clearly looking for trouble; continuing the argument would only make the Park Family more embarrassed.

Park Changfan gritted his teeth and closed his mouth unwillingly, but the resentment in his eyes could not be hidden.

Ye Chen ignored the father and son, his gaze fixed on Lee Yoon-hee.

"Then, are you willing to come with me?"

Lee Yoon-hee's face turned even redder, so red it looked like it was about to bleed.

She lowered her head, twisting the hem of her skirt with her fingers, looking like a white lotus flower swaying gently in the wind.

The surrounding guests gasped.

This was too direct!

Right in front of her grandfather, in front of hundreds of people from high society, he was just asking the young girl directly if she was willing to go with him?

Chairman Lee Seung-heon's expression changed repeatedly.

Good heavens!

He was trying to snatch his granddaughter right away?

This Ye Chen... he really didn't take the Li Family seriously at all, did he?

Lee Yoon-hee raised her head, glanced at Ye Chen, and then quickly lowered it again.

Her heart was beating very fast, so fast it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.

Since she was little, she had met countless people.

There were those who flattered her, those who curried favor with her, those who coveted her, and those who used her.

But never had there been a person like this man before her.

The way he looked at her didn't seem like he was looking at a beautiful woman; instead, it was like a treasure hunter who had finally found the treasure he had dreamed of.

That feeling... was very strange.

Lee Yoon-hee bit her lip, looked up, and met Ye Chen's eyes.

"I... I am willing."

The three words, though not loud, fell clearly into the ears of everyone present.

The room exploded into chaos once again.

"She agreed! Miss Li agreed!"

"Oh my god... she really agreed to go with that person from the Dragon Kingdom?"

"Will President Li agree? That's the granddaughter he raised with his own hands!"

"Aish! What kind of love potion did this person from the Dragon Kingdom feed Miss Li?"

...

The discussions rose and fell, some shocked, some confused, some shaking their heads and sighing.

Chairman Lee Seung-heon's expression froze completely.

He hadn't expected his granddaughter to agree to a man she was meeting for the first time in front of so many people.

Although that man was the Chief Instructor of the Dragon Group, and although that man said he had a way to let Yunxi become a Cultivator...

But this was just too fast, wasn't it?

"Yunxi, you..."

Chairman Lee Seung-heon opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Lee Yoon-hee turned her head to look at her grandfather, her eyes slightly reddened.

"Grandfather, I know you are worried about me."

"But I want to try."

"I want to become a Cultivator, I want to become stronger."

"I want to fight for a chance for the Li Family."

The Li Family looked unrivaled, being one of the three major chaebols, very powerful.

But everyone understood... if a family had no successors, it would inevitably decline bit by bit.

That was the situation the Li Family was in now.

Chairman Lee Seung-heon only had one son, and after his son left behind a granddaughter, he died in a car accident.

Consequently, there was only one person in the next generation: Lee Yoon-hee.

She could play the piano and was extremely sensitive to music, but...

That couldn't save the future of the Li Family.

But once she became a Cultivator, the significance would be different.

Chairman Lee Seung-heon's eyes turned red instantly.

All these years, he had worried himself sick over this granddaughter.

And Yunxi had always been sensible and obedient, never causing him much worry.

But the more she was like that, the more guilty he felt.

He couldn't provide her with the resources for cultivation, couldn't give her a powerful background, and couldn't even give her a complete family.

The only thing he could do was to let her eat well, dress well, and let her grow up without worries.

But now, someone told him that his granddaughter could become a Cultivator.

Someone told him that his granddaughter was a one-in-a-million genius.

Someone was willing to take her down that path.

What reason did he have to refuse?

Chairman Lee Seung-heon took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

When he opened them again, there was no more hesitation in his eyes.

"Mr. Ye."

He turned, looked at Ye Chen, and bowed deeply.

"From now on... I will leave Yunxi to you."

Ye Chen looked at him and nodded.

"Rest assured."

"She will not be wronged while she is with me."

Park Changfan stood to the side, watching this scene, his expression completely unable to hold together.

He hadn't just liked Lee Yoon-hee for a day or two; from the first time he saw her playing the piano on TV, he had been captivated by this woman.

For today, he had specially flown back from the USA, specially worn a custom-made suit, and specially prepared a stomach full of words.

And the result?

He hadn't even touched her hand before he was cut off by a person from the Dragon Kingdom.

"Dad..."

Park Changfan gritted his teeth and lowered his voice.

Piao Zhenying glanced at him and said coldly: "Shut up, we'll talk when we get back."

Park Changfan shut his mouth unwillingly, but the resentment in his eyes was almost tangible.

Ye Chen, you just wait.

This is South Korea, not your Dragon Kingdom.

We'll see.

In the crowd, Kim Zhilong was even more dumbfounded.

He had always thought that Ye Chen was preparing to subjugate the Li Family.

But what was the result?

Subjugate my foot!

This was clearly about taking someone in and becoming the Li Family's backer!

Aish!

His plan was to make the Li Family, like himself, become Ye Chen's dog.

But in the end... the dog was still himself???

Once again ignoring the entire room.

Ye Chen's gaze fell on Lee Yoon-hee, his eyes full of satisfaction.

"Very good. From today on, you are the junior sister of the Ancient Tomb Sect."

He paused, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "I will teach you the introductory method now."

Upon hearing this, a trace of joy appeared on Lee Yoon-hee's face, and a hint of anticipation flashed in her clear, almond-shaped eyes.

She didn't know what the Ancient Tomb Sect was, but she knew that from this moment on, her life would change completely.

Hundreds of eyes in the room fell on Ye Chen simultaneously.

Teaching the cultivation technique directly?

Could that kind of thing just be taught like that?

They all wanted to see what exactly this Chief Instructor of the Dragon Group from the Dragon Kingdom was going to do.

Ye Chen walked in front of Lee Yoon-hee and stood still.

Then, he raised his right hand and tapped his index finger gently on the center of her forehead.

The moment his fingertip touched her skin, Lee Yoon-hee's pupils contracted sharply.

In her mind, it was as if a thunderbolt had exploded.

Immediately after, countless pieces of information, like a dam breaking, surged in.

That was a cultivation method called "Sound Demon Heavenly Chapter".

Every word was like a star, exploding deep within her consciousness, blooming with blinding light.

Her body trembled violently, her legs went weak, and she nearly lost her footing.

But the next moment, she steadied herself and closed her eyes.

The information flooding into her mind was too much, too fast, like an incredibly violent storm raging in her consciousness.

She felt her soul being cleansed by some kind of power, both comfortable and painful, as if her entire self was being taken apart and reassembled.

But she did not resist.

Because she could feel that that power had no malice toward her.
