He chuckled and shook his head, his brows filled with indifference. For the Ye family, Ye Shan and Ye Yunlong, he only felt extremely chilled and no longer missed him at all.
Shi Xiuyun looked at Ye Chen, feeling secretly distressed.
She touched Ye Chen's heart, and a scar there was still clearly visible. It was the mark left when Ye Yunlong peeled off Ye Chen's martial veins.
"Chen'er, does it still hurt?"
Ye Chen's eyes changed. After a moment, his eyes darkened and there was no longer any fluctuation.
"Mom, I have long forgotten about the injury here!"
Shi Xiuyun sighed softly, with a hint of anger surging between his brows.
Back then, Ye Chen had a martial arts background and was so high-spirited. Among the younger generation of the Ye family, no matter the direct lineage or collateral lineage, they were all swept away. Even Ye Xing was suppressed by him and could only always be ranked second.
At that time, Ye Yunlong and Ye Shan even asserted that Ye Chen would be the most dazzling new star of the Ye family in the future, and his talent would even be greater than that of Ye Yunlong, and his achievements would be limitless.
Ye Chen himself was also full of confidence and prepared to ascend to the sky, but everything disappeared on that night nine years ago.
Now Ye Chen has lost everything, even his martial arts veins have been stripped away. The Ye family's genius back then can no longer regain his martial arts no matter how hard he tries.
Every time she thought about this, she felt extremely heartbroken. She knew very well how arrogant Ye Chen was in his heart, never lagging behind others. Back then, both Ye Xing and Hua Nongying could only follow behind him.
But now, although Ye Chen has returned, he can only see Ye Xing, Hua Nongying and others stirring up troubles and making all the noise, but he cannot be one of them. She is really worried that Ye Chen will not be able to accept this reality.
Ye Chen didn't know what Shi Xiuyun was thinking, he was just thinking about something on his mind. At this moment, Shi Xiuyun suddenly grabbed his arm.
"Chen'er!"
Shi Xiuyun took off her hat, her hair was disheveled, and her eyes were stern, just like the gentle but domineering mother of the past.
"Tomorrow, follow me back to Xiao's house, and I will take you to recover everything you lost!"
"Go back to Ye's house?"
When Ye Chen heard this, his expression paused slightly.
"Of course I want to go back!"
Shi Xiuyun grabbed Ye Chen's arm and said in a deep voice: "In the beginning, you had everything. In the future, you will definitely be the most prodigy of the Ye family. No matter Nong Ying or Xing'er, they can't compete with you!"
"But just because of a comment that I don't know whether it is true or not, your grandfather and your father ruined everything for you, causing you to lose your martial arts skills and the protection of the Ye family!"
"Now that you are back, mom can't let you regain your lost martial arts, but at least, I can make you the prince of the Ye family, which is what you deserve!"
"Everyone in the Ye family must be responsible for this matter. The entire Ye family must work hard to make you rich, safe and happy throughout your life!"
"This is the only thing mom can do for you. Even if you are an old man, I have to agree to it!"
Seeing Shi Xiuyun's firm expression, Ye Chen smiled and did not refute.
Back then, he was deprived of his martial arts vein by Ye Yunlong. The martial arts vein is a unique vein that a warrior must have. Only with the martial arts vein in his body can he practice Qi and martial arts and achieve extraordinary achievements. If he loses the martial arts vein, he will lose his martial arts and will not be able to cultivate it again for the rest of his life.
Martial arts.
Throughout the history of the Chinese martial arts world, and even the international martial arts world, there has never been a case of someone being able to practice martial arts despite losing their martial arts veins. This has always been the case!
But how did Shi Xiuyun know that he had used life and death to prove the Tao, found a new way, and had already broken out of the constraints of the rules and achieved unparalleled martial arts!
Seeing Shi Xiuyun's protective expression, Ye Chen didn't say anything after all. He just smiled and said: "Mom, I really have no interest in the Ye family's things!"
"The moment I was expelled from the Ye family, I already told Ye Yunlong that from now on, the Ye family will have nothing to do with me!"
"Half of my body, hair, and skin come from you, and half come from him. He destroyed my martial arts, and I have repaid the favor of my birth. From now on, one has nothing to do with the other!"
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Shi Xiuyun's eyes flashed with a hint of unbearability. Ye Chen and Ye Yunlong, a father and son, had been very close since childhood, but Ye Yunlong had to listen to Ye Shan's instructions because of a comment and treat them.
Ye Chen did such a cruel trick that the relationship between father and son is now broken. This is undoubtedly a human tragedy!
"Chen'er, I know you are angry, but your father and your grandfather were forced to have no choice at the beginning. They must follow the instructions of their ancestors and follow the instructions of the Tongtianjing!"
Shi Xiuyun held Ye Chen's palm tightly, with a firm gaze and an unquestionable tone.
"Don't be stubborn with your mother. I won't force you on your attitude towards the Ye family, your grandfather and your father, but you must come with me to the Ye family!"
"Tomorrow is the Ye family's get-together. I will definitely bring you to your door. What's yours must be yours. No one can owe you anything!"
Shi Xiuyun had long hair and shawl, and no longer looked like a haggard nun. Instead, her face was full of domineering. Ye Chen seemed to have seen the Mrs. Ye family who protected her calves and beloved children in the past.
Unable to defeat Shi Xiuyun, Ye Chen could only nod obediently. For him, the Ye family was dispensable at the moment. No matter whether he went or not, the result would not change much.
With his current identity, ability, and status, what does he have to fear even if he faces the entire Ye family?
After chatting with Shi Xiuyun for another hour, it was late at night and early in the morning, and Ye Chen comforted him: "Mom, you have been eating irregularly, not getting enough sleep, and your bones are very weak. It's time for you to rest now!"
Shi Xiuyun was reluctant to leave. When she saw her favorite eldest son again after nine years, she was naturally unwilling to let Ye Chen go, but Ye Chen comforted her softly and she still stood up.
"Okay, Mom is going to rest now. Remember to pick me up here at noon tomorrow. Mom will take you back to Ye's house!"
Ye Chen pondered for a moment, and finally nodded heavily.
Ye Chen left his contact information with Shi Xiuyun and watched Shi Xiuyun fall asleep before leaving the meditation room.
Outside Jiulong Temple, there were only a few dim lights, and almost everyone had gone to sleep. He stood on the top of the Western Mountain, overlooking the capital, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"The Ye family?"
He clenched his fists tightly, and the fluctuation in his eyes disappeared. The former Ye family was his pride and belief in his heart. He was proud to be a member of the Ye family.
But now, in his eyes, the Ye family is just a small family, without any courage or majesty anymore.
He retracted his gaze and glanced sideways at the shadowed corners in all directions of the Zen courtyard. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he walked down the steps.
He had just reached the halfway point of the mountain when four wind currents swept through the forest and almost instantly blocked all his escape routes.
Four figures, two in front and two in front, left Ye Chen alone in the middle.
These four people look very similar and have similar builds. They seem to be twin brothers.
In their hands, they had guns, swords, sticks, and knives. The four of them had different weapons. Each of them had a solid aura, exuding powerful waves, and their cultivation had reached half a step to the supreme level.
Ye Chen's eyes were calm. As early as when he first arrived in Xishan, he had already noticed the existence of four people. These four people were hidden around the monastery where Shi Xiuyun lived, but they did not have any murderous intent. They seemed to be protecting Shi Xiuyun.
.
It was precisely because of this that Ye Chen did not take action to clean them up, but now the four of them took the initiative to find him.
"What do you want to do?"
Ye Chen's eyes were calm and he spoke calmly.
The four middle-aged men felt slightly depressed. In this wilderness, they suddenly surrounded Ye Chen. According to common sense, Ye Chen should be frightened and even look fearful.
But Ye Chen acted too calm!
One of them took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Young man, tell me who you are? What is the purpose of getting close to Madam?"
