Chapter 1583: Uncertainty Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It seemed that Xiao Tianchen’s father had arrived.

There was also information about this person in the information that Chen Zhifan had given him.

The head of the Xiao family, Xiao Lang, was a mid-stage Dao Integration realm expert, though his exact cultivation level remained a mystery.

Footsteps were heard from downstairs, climbing the stairs.

Ye Chen stood up, smiled, and walked toward the entrance of the third floor and stood there.

…

The light curtain of the barrier had been concealed, and he could clearly see that a group of people was making their way upstairs.

The person in the lead wore a long black robe and a feathered crown on his head. His every movement exuded a noble and dignified feeling. He had clearly been in a high position for a long time.

He was Xiao Lang.

Beside Xiao Lang, there were a few people. Most of them were dressed in the same uniform and seemed to be the Xiao family’s attendants. There was also one person whom Ye Chen had seen before.

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. This person was the employee who had initially treated him coldly and then knelt down to beg for mercy.

“Is that him?” Xiao Lang looked Ye Chen up and down before turning to the employee and asking.

At this moment, there was no trace of fear on the employee’s face. No matter how strong or terrifying Ye Chen was, could he defeat a middle-stage Dao Integration realm expert?

Impossible!

It was like asking if an ant could lift a mountain!

Now that he was standing behind Xiao Lang, he no longer cared about offending Ye Chen.

The employee first looked at Ye Chen with a smug look, as if to say, ‘How about it? You didn’t expect me to bring a Dao Integration Stage martial artist back, did you?’

“Master Xiao, this is the person who injured the Eldest Young Master,” he said respectfully to Xiao Lang.

His tone was as if he was a member of the Xiao family. As he spoke, he glared fiercely at Ye Chen as if he wanted to avenge Xiao Tianchen.

Ye Chen was speechless. This person seemed to have a heaven-sent talent to be a lackey. It was a pity he had not been born as a eunuch or court minister instead.

Xiao Lang was sizing up Ye Chen with interest. This young man was only a Divine King realm cultivator, yet managed to defeat his son. Furthermore, this fellow was still so calm despite the situation, and seemed to show no signs of backing down.

“Why did you hurt my son?” Xiao Lang asked with a faint smile. Actually, he already knew the whole story.

However, as the head of the Xiao family, he was not a simple-minded person. He had more concerns, and the most important one was the same as Xiao Tianchen.

After Ye Chen killed Huang Yuan, why did Huang Can not attack Ye Chen?

Although Huang Yuan was not Huang Can’s biological son, he was still Huang Can’s nephew. Huang Can doted on him, yet he actually let it go after he shouted angrily in vain?

Therefore, he planned to sound Ye Chen out first. At the same time, he had already sent people to find Huang Can to see if he could get anything out of him.

Ye Chen said calmly, “Your son failed to force his way into buying my things, so he fought with me. However, he was too weak and ended up seriously injured after taking three of my punches.”

Xiao Lang’s eyes turned cold when he heard that. Ye Chen’s claim that Xiao Tianchen was too weak was a provocation to the Xiao family. The servants beside Xiao Lang were filled with anger!

“Our young master is weak? Did you use some dirty tricks?”

“That’s right! Perhaps my young master was soft-hearted and careless, and was taken advantage of by a sinister and cunning person like you!”

“In a fair and square fight, our Young Master would never lose!”

Although Xiao Lang was furious, he still waved his hand and stopped his subordinates from speaking. He continued, “Your flying dagger belonged to Huang Yuan. Tianchen and Huang Yuan were good friends. He only wanted to retrieve his friend’s memoir.”

“Moreover, he offered you very good conditions. It’s fine if you didn’t accept them, but you even insulted him. That’s why he attacked.”

“After that, you severely injured him. Young man, you’re very capable, but aren’t you a little too ruthless?”

Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed when he heard this. This Xiao Lang was quite shrewd. This old man said this to find a legitimate reason to attack him.

First of all, he would not be labeled as a bully. Secondly, if Ye Chen had some power behind him, it would be easy for him to give the other party an explanation. Of course, the premise was that the other party’s status was similar to that of the Xiao Family.

Ye Chen took a step forward and said coldly, “Huang Yuan insulted me and my friend. He even wanted to kill me. So, he should have been prepared to pay the price.”

“As for your son, Xiao Tianchen, did he look like he wanted to make a deal? He was here to buy things, not to collect memoirs. I don’t owe him anything, and I’m not his father. There’s no need to accommodate his request!”

When Xiao Lang heard this, his killing intent erupted and he pointed his finger at Ye Chen. This was a blatant insult! No matter how well-mannered Xiao Lang was, he could not help but become furious.

The employee beside Xiao Lang was affected by the cold killing intent, and his legs went soft as he fell to the ground again.

Although Ye Chen was facing the killing intent of a middle-stage Dao Integration realm expert, he remained calm and said, “Stop bluffing. You haven’t made a move yet because Huang Can hasn’t attacked me and you’re worried that I have some backing.”

Xiao Lang’s killing intent gradually dissipated when he heard this. He stared at Ye Chen with a slight frown. He could tell that Ye Chen was truly fearless and was not trying to act tough.

However, what was the reason behind his fearlessness?

Could it be that he really had someone backing him up?

In fact, if Ye Chen had apologized and backed down under his questioning, he would have already attacked.

However, the more arrogant Ye Chen was, the more uncertain Xiao Lang became.

Ye Chen continued to laugh. “I was able to defeat Xiao Tianchen with three punches even though I’m a Divine King realm cultivator, so you should know what kind of talent I have.”

“I don’t need to say what value I have in the eyes of those big forces. Now, which big force in Heaven Ascension City can be provoked by your Xiao family?”

“You’re a smart person. Don’t tell me you don’t understand?”

Xiao Lang fell silent. He stared at Ye Chen without moving, hoping to see some clues from Ye Chen’s expression, yet there was no information to be gleaned.

He knew that some extremely outstanding geniuses would receive invitations from forces before the Immortal Ascension Competition.

For example, the top few on the Immortal Ascension Rankings could receive such treatment. However, did Ye Chen qualify for such treatment?
