Starting Reward – A Three Thousand Assassin Network - Chapter 35

Chapter 35 – Ye Chen’s Wrath

Regarding what Zhao Hao said, she harbored doubts at this moment.

Since they had already left the Ye family, she could just wait quietly and see if everything would unfold as her younger brother had described.

They had been staying at the Ye family for the past few days and hadn’t heard about what happened in the martial world.

…

Inside the Ye Residence.

After the Zhao siblings left, Ye Xue hurriedly went to Ye Dingtian’s small courtyard.

“Have the siblings left?” Ye Xue just entered when Ye Dingtian asked.

“Yes, Grandpa!” Ye Xue nodded.

She then recounted in detail what had just happened.

“It seems that Zhao’s kid is indeed extraordinary.” Ye Dingtian sighed. “Being in the Ye family without receiving outside news and still being able to guess some things—speaking from that point alone, he’s much smarter than your dad!”

“Uh! Actually, Dad isn’t dumb! He’s just not overtly smart!” Ye Xue glanced back secretly as she spoke.

“Haha, what you said is right, just not overtly smart!” Ye Dingtian burst into laughter.

“Sometimes, I truly can’t figure it out. How did that brain of mine produce four clever little ones like you?”

“Grandpa, do you think it’s possible that the four of us siblings inherited our mother’s wisdom! Hehe …” Ye Xue chuckled.

“That makes sense!” Ye Dingtian strongly agreed with this statement.

“Wan’er is indeed remarkably intelligent, contributing many strategies behind the scenes when she was in the Ye family. Having such a daughter-in-law is a great blessing for the Ye family.”

“Grandpa, I haven’t left the house in two days. Can I go play with Chen’er?” Ye Xue pleaded.

“No!” Ye Dingtian immediately refused.

“Why?” Ye Xue was very puzzled.

Seeing Ye Xue’s expression, Ye Dingtian decided to divulge some information: “The matter isn’t over yet, and the current situation is unclear. You mustn’t disrupt the Ye family’s arrangements!”

“Even though Luo City is the Ye family’s main base, to prevent interference from external factors, even if there’s a slight possibility, it must not happen.”

“If Chen’er is alone at the Lou Shen Residence, isn’t he in danger?” Ye Xue was somewhat worried.

“Don’t worry, Chen’er has someone protecting him over there. Besides, he’s only twelve years old, and no one will pay attention to that place. So, as long as we don’t disturb Chen’er, the Lou Shen Residence will be the safest place.”

To calm Ye Xue, Ye Dingtian could only tell a small lie.

Indeed, after hearing Grandpa’s words, Ye Xue’s worried expression dissipated quite a bit.

“Xiao Xue, if you’re bored staying at home, you can learn from Chen’er. He used to often say something about enjoying life, starts from lying down. You should try it and see if you can enter that state.”

“In the few days Chen’er has been away, I’ve also been trying to learn. I have to say, this kind of life really helps one relax a lot.”

Saying this, Ye Dingtian reclined in his armchair, crossed his legs, and tapped the armrest with his fingers, looking quite content.

“Uh …” Ye Xue was a bit speechless.

…

On the other side, at the Lou Shen Residence.

Ye Chen continued his usual routine every day.

Waking up—lying down—sleeping!

What? You say he doesn’t eat?

He eats while lying down!

You say he doesn’t go to the bathroom?

That’s like asking if your crush goes to the bathroom …

At this moment, Tian Yan approached Ye Chen and reported the information obtained from the Network.

“Young Master, we’ve found out about the killer organization that previously impersonated the Network.”

“Tell me about it. I’m quite curious. What level is this organization?” Ye Chen suddenly became interested.

“It’s a force called the Demon Sect!”

“The name Demon Sect is quite interesting. Tell me more!” Ye Chen nodded.

“The Demon Sect is divided into two halls, with internal structures similar to the Network. One hall is Tian Gang, with thirty-six assassins responsible for killing. The other hall is Di Sha, with seventy-two people responsible for gathering intelligence. These 108 individuals are all skilled assassins, with considerable strength!”

“Moreover, the controllers of the Demon Sect are two people, Tian Sha and Di Sha, whose strength reached the pinnacle of the Profound Realm twenty years ago. It’s highly likely they’ve now broken through to the Celestial Realm! Their headquarters is at the Jiue Heaven Cliff on the border of Liangzhou!”

If the leaders of the Demon Sect were present at this moment, they would surely be greatly astonished, as Tian Yan’s account was impeccably accurate.

“Hehe, I didn’t expect that they began their layout twenty years ago. I’m afraid the old man never imagined that the Demon Sect’s headquarters is actually on the border of Liangzhou.” Ye Chen’s eyes emitted a chilling intent.

“If the old man leaves Liangzhou, the entire Ye family will face the assassination of two Transcendent Realm powerhouses.”

“They’re determined to hide, and even with many people, it’s difficult to discover them, let alone resist them!”

“This is preparing to uproot the Ye family!”

Saying this, an intense icy intent emanated from Ye Chen’s body. Even the moisture in the air froze, forming tiny ice beads that fell to the floor, creating a layer of frost.

It’s said that the most dangerous place is the safest place.

However, often, the safest place hides the deadliest things.

Once there’s a loophole, what you’ll face is a fatal strike! There’s no way out!

Ask yourself, once the Ye family loses Ye Dingtian’s protection, how would they deal with the assassination from two Transcendent Realm super powerful individuals?

It’s like a sharp knife hanging over their heads, waiting to fall at any moment!

“Good, very good!”

“Since it’s right within reach, how can I not take a bite?”

“Tian Yan, make the arrangements. Tonight, let the Day Concealment and the Six Sword Slaves join forces to remove this thorn stuck in the Ye family’s throat!”

“Yes!” Tian Yan responded and left.

This was the first time she had witnessed her young master becoming angry in the many years she had served him.

The pressure Ye Chen emitted just now made her extremely alarmed, feeling like she was in an ancient ice cave, chilling her to the bone, an ice-cold feeling seeping into her marrow.

Tian Yan had previously fantasized that Ye Chen’s strength was terrifying, but she had never imagined it would be this powerful.

Even with the resources Ye Chen provided, allowing her to break through to the Transcendent Realm a few days ago, she had completely no resistance against Ye Chen’s pressure.

Mind you, even facing Ye Chen’s aura, a Transcendent Realm expert like Tian Yan had absolutely no resistance. One can imagine how terrifying his strength truly was.

After explaining these matters, Ye Chen left the Lou Shen Residence and went to the lakeside, with Li Sushang following behind.

At this moment, a sound broke the silence, followed by a voice near his ear.

“Good grandson, grandpa has come to see you again! Hahaha!”

Seeing this, Li Sushang quickly stood in front of Ye Chen. She didn’t speak, but a strong sword intent emanated from her.

Ye Dingtian suddenly felt pain all over his body.

“Uh~”

“Sushang, stop, she’s my grandpa!” Ye Chen quickly intervened.

“Old man, she’s called Li Sushang, a maid I recruited a few days ago!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Dingtian felt extremely speechless.

A woman this powerful was recruited just like that.

This was simply treating him like a blind old man!

Do you really think your grandpa’s eyes have dimmed with age?
