Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Chapter 73: Chapter 74: Kneel

”Mr. Zhou?”

Ye Qingchen was a bit surprised.

The visitor was none other than Zhou Yuntian from the Martial Arts Arena!

”I’ve already heard about your story. Who would have thought that the young man who walked out from Cyan Cloud City would become the famous Newcomer King of Celestial Peak Country!” Zhou Yuntian’s eyes were full of admiration.

Even though he had heard this news many times, he still found it somewhat incredible.

”I must thank Mr. Zhou for his kindness!” Ye Qingchen nodded slightly, ”I wonder what brings you here this time...”

Ye Qingchen felt something stirring in his heart.

Sure enough, Zhou Yuntian smiled and said, ”I’ve received news about Ye Nantian!”

Ye Qingchen’s pupils dilated, and he was extremely overjoyed, his voice trembling, ”Mr. Zhou, did you say there’s news about my father? Where is he now?”

”I don’t have exact news about him, I only know that he once lived in the Imperial Capital. This is the address where he stayed.” Zhou Yuntian handed over an address.

Ye Qingchen glanced at the address, a trace of surprise in his eyes, ”Is this inside the Imperial Capital?”

Zhou Yuntian said, ”That’s right. My people could only find out this much, Ye Nantian lived here for three months. If you have the time, you can go and take a look, you might find clues about your father’s disappearance!”

”Alright!”

Ye Qingchen took a deep breath.

After some more pleasantries, Zhou Yuntian finally got up to leave.

There was nothing to hide about this matter, so Ye Qingchen spoke directly. ”That’s the gist of it. I plan to go to the Imperial Capital for a few days, and take a look at my father’s house!”

”I want to go too!” Ye Qing suddenly stood up.

”Why don’t we all go together!” Jiang Churan chimed in, ”I haven’t been to the Imperial Capital in a long time, it would be a good chance to relax!”

The three had been in the Guangling Secret Realm for almost a month, and they all felt the need for some peace. Ye Qingchen thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded, ”In that case, let’s all go together!”

Since Qin Wentian was still preparing the healing medicine for Ye Qing, they waited a few more days.

On the fourth day, they set off for the Imperial Capital.

Jiang Churan and Hong Man went directly to stroll around the streets, while Ye Qingchen took Ye Qing to find the place where Ye Nantian had once lived, according to the address.

It was a dilapidated house.

Inside was covered in dust, looking like it hadn’t been inhabited for a long time, but the environment was quite serene and elegant. The small courtyard in front of the house and the bamboo grove behind it were rather refreshing.

The furnishings in the house were also very simple.

”Brother, did Father really live here for three months?” Ye Qing tilted her head, surveying the whole courtyard.

”Since Mr. Zhou mentioned it, it must be true.” Ye Qingchen nodded, and as he spoke, he looked at the shopkeeper beside him, ”I want this house. How much is it?”

Since it was a place his father had stayed, Ye Qingchen intended to buy it directly.

”Thirty thousand taels!” The shopkeeper smiled with wrinkles covering his face. This house had been vacant for over ten years, and today, a young man suddenly wanted to see it, and unexpectedly decided to buy it after just one look.

Ye Qingchen nodded, ”I’ll buy it!”

”Alright, alright! I’ll get the title deed for you right away!” The shopkeeper’s face showed excitement, his eyes sparkling, ”Young Master, please wait a moment...”

Just as he was about to speak, a commotion came from outside.

A well-dressed young man walked in, holding a flamboyant woman dressed provocatively, and followed by a large group of people.

The shopkeeper saw the well-dressed young man, froze slightly, and quickly greeted him respectfully, ”Young Master Jiang, you’re here? What brings you here...”

”Hmm!” Young Master Jiang nodded, glanced around the courtyard, and said, ”I heard this house is still empty, I want to buy it now, so please take care of the paperwork!”

The shopkeeper immediately looked astonished.

This house had been vacant for over ten years without being sold, but suddenly, there were two buyers today.

”What’s going on?” Young Master Jiang, seeing the difficulty on the shopkeeper’s face, frowned slightly.

The shopkeeper quickly explained that the house had already been sold.

”Ha, even if it’s not sold, so what if it is? Tell the other party, we’re taking this house, and he should scram immediately and not disturb my mood!” Young Master Jiang said arrogantly, looking at the shopkeeper.

Ye Qingchen frowned slightly.

If it were any other house, he might just let it go.

But this one had once been his father’s residence, and it might hold clues to his father’s disappearance. How could he give it up?

”No need to say it, I heard it all!”

Ye Qingchen walked over directly.

The shopkeeper sighed inwardly and looked at Ye Qingchen, advising quietly, ”Young Master, I’m really sorry. If you like a house like this, we can find another one for you!”

”No need!” Ye Qingchen’s expression remained unchanged, ”You can tell this to Young Master Jiang! This house is already mine!”

”Ha ha, so arrogant, someone actually dares to snatch something from me, Jiang Chenhao! I’ll give you three seconds to get out of my way, or don’t blame me for being rude!”

Jiang Chenhao laughed loudly upon hearing this.

”Such an ignorant thing!” scoffed the flamboyantly dressed woman beside Young Master Jiang.

This house was their love nest, and of course, she wouldn’t let anyone else have it.

The shopkeeper, seeing this, was frightened pale. He quickly whispered to Ye Qingchen, ”Young Master, Young Master Jiang’s father is the City Lord of White Cloud City, and he himself is a disciple of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect! You can’t afford to provoke them!”

These pampered young masters were all haughty, and ordinary commoners could hardly afford to offend them. He just hoped that Ye Qingchen would know to retreat and give up this house!

”Celestial Essence Sword Sect?”

Ye Qingchen’s eyes squinted, a complex expression immediately surfaced.

He hadn’t expected that even buying a house would lead him to encounter a disciple of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect!

”So, are you scared?”

Jiang Chenhao glanced at Ye Qingchen and sneered.

Suddenly.

The followers behind him also began to shout arrogantly:

”If you’re scared, then get out quickly!”

”That’s right, our young master has taken a liking to this house, you’d better leave early, or don’t blame us for being impolite!”

”Didn’t you hear? Young Master Jiang’s status isn’t something you can provoke!” The flamboyant woman beside Jiang Chenhao also called out impatiently, ”Be careful or you’ll suffer!”

”What if I don’t give it up?”

Ye Qingchen’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Indeed, disciples of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect seemed unable to change their domineering attitude wherever they went.

”Courting death!”

Jiang Chenhao’s expression changed, turning hostile immediately.

He formed a fist and launched a punch mid-air, aiming directly at Ye Qingchen’s face. The punch made the surrounding air crackle loudly, like crossbow arrows being shot. The shopkeeper, who had no martial skills, turned pale with fright.

But Ye Qingchen wasn’t going to waste words with him, he slapped down directly, as if swatting a fly:

”Kneel!”
