BXBX NOVEL Chapter 52
Chapter 52: The Death Anniversary of the Ye Family!
Sun Yi still had not slept because she noticed that Ye Chen was not back yet.
She was haunted by what had happened during the day. Only then did she realize that she did not actually know who Ye Chen was.
In the beginning, she only thought of Ye Chen as a poor country boy who had come for gold prospecting!
He could not even pay his rent, and he had to swallow his pride to ask a woman for money.
Not only that, but he was also a real charlatan!
His behavior had not only caused Sun Yi to look down on him, but he even made her hate him initially.
If it was not because he looked exactly like her dead classmate, she might not have taken him in.
However, she then found out that she was wrong.
She was totally wrong about him.
Ye Chen had made her change her perception of him again and again.
A prescription that had been simply written by him turned out to be a priceless one in the eyes of the Magnificent Group.
Even the president of the business giant in River City, Shen Haihua, had to treat him with respect.
Miracle Doctor Qiu from the capital, as well as the President of the fifth People’s Hospital, had to serve him too.
Not to mention, the group of mysterious men outside the door.
She was not sure why, but she felt a hint of danger from those mysterious men. She felt it from the bottom of her heart.
As for the people who had initially barged in, it was as though they never existed from the start. Sun Yi could not help but think that they had been killed by the mysterious men.
She felt as though she had been connected to a new world she had never seen before through Ye Chen.
While she was drowned in her thoughts, a phone call snapped her back to reality.
She pressed the answer button immediately and a magnetic voice rang out from the other end, “Are you okay?”
Upon hearing the voice, Sun Yi subconsciously covered her mouth and tears began rolling down her face uncontrollably!
She choked as she said, “I’m okay, those people are gone... Wh-where are you now? Are you alright?”
A deep sigh of relief was heard from the other side of the phone. After some time, he said, “I still need to settle a few things, but I’ll be back in the morning. Don’t worry, bye.”
The call hung up.
Although Sun Yi was unwilling, she knew that as a woman, she should not ask or disturb when a man had work outside.
She stared at the screen in a daze. Suddenly, a calendar notification prompt appeared on the screen – Ye family’s death anniversary.
“Oh right, tomorrow is the death anniversary of the Ye family. I guess I’ll be the only visitor this year too.”
...
Meanwhile, at Sky Stone Mountain.
Sky Stone Mountain was quite a well-known cemetery mountain in River City. It was said that the mountain had excellent Feng shui as well; the ancestors who were buried there would protect the future generations.
That was why most of the people in River City chose to bury the dead here.
During the wee hours, all one could see were the countless tombstones situated next to each other. Not to mention, feel the howling cold wind that easily sent chills down one’s spine.
Suddenly, a dark shadowy figure was seen moving toward Sky Stone Mountain at such a high speed that it could hardly be seen.
After a while, the figure stopped, and it stood in front of a tombstone. It stood there motionless, as though it was petrified.
The figure was none other than Ye Chen.
After many years, Ye Chen had gone back to the tombstone. Looking at the names carved upon it, tears began welling up as he could no longer suppress his emotions.
A tear rolled down his cheek, and it fell onto the ground.
Although he was a man of steel, he still had a soft spot! Even though he had killed many people, he was still a man who yearned for his parents’ love!
Throughout the past five years, who would have thought that a weakling like him would dare slaughter ferocious wild beasts?!
Who would have known how such a young man, who had missed the best years of cultivation, rise from the ashes like a phoenix?!
Nobody could ever imagine the pain and suffering he had gone through!
He cultivated madly! He killed countless people! That was how he gained his reputation!
He, Ye Chen, did not believe in anything or anyone! He only believed in himself!
However, at that moment, he was just a nobody. He was just Ye Chen of the Ye family.
Ye Chen wiped away his tears and threw Yao Jingu to the ground!
“Kneel!”
As a martial arts grandmaster himself, how could Yao Jingu bear such humiliation?!
He got up and stood as straight as a post.
Without any hesitation, Ye Chen condensed two swirls of True Qi and aimed it directly at the space between Yao Jingu’s legs.
Thud! Yao Jingu was forced to kneel in front of the tombstone.
“Kowtow,” Ye Chen’s icy cold voice rang out once more.
Suffering in silence, Yao Jingu looked at Ye Chen and said, “Why don’t you just go ahead and kill me. I, Yao Jingu, will not simply bow to anybody!”
Ye Chen stretched out his hand and clasped Yao Jingu’s neck. The next second, he forced Yao Jingu to kowtow.
Bang!
...
A trace of blood instantly oozed out from Yao Jingu’s forehead.
“Again!
“Again!”
...
After ten times, Yao Jingu was almost unconscious, and his forehead was full of blood.
Vaguely, he heard Ye Chen’s voice, “Father, mother, Chen’er has come to visit you. Chen’er has taken the path of cultivation and is now capable of seeking revenge! Chen’er swears that he’ll send all of those who were involved in the Cloud Lake Manor incident five years ago straight down to Hell to atone for their sins! Including the man from Capital City!”
Ye Chen himself kowtowed a dozen rounds.
After that, he squinted his eyes and shot a death stare at Yao Jingu who was beside him!
“Well, you’ve knelt and kotowed. How do you wish to die?”
Yao Jingu’s expression changed drastically. Suddenly, he thought of something and said in horror, “You can’t kill me yet. I know a secret... It’s about your parents...”
Ye Chen was stunned. He grabbed hold of Yao Jingu and asked, “What secret?”
...
Yao Jingu looked at Ye Chen and whispered, “Actually, your parents...”
Without finishing his sentence, Yao Jingu spat out a small black dart from his mouth! It was aimed directly at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen noticed the incoming danger right away. With a cold sneer, he leaned to the side and dodged the attack.
“You asked for it!”
The next second, Ye Chen condensed a gush of True Qi into a swirl of Dispersion Force with the wave of his palm. The Force was like a sharp blade as it slashed Yao Jingu!
Then, Yao Jingu’s head fell to the ground, and his decapitated body fell backward.
“Today, I, Ye Chen, will sacrifice your head to honor my dead parents!”
After that, Ye Chen destroyed Yao Jingu’s body. As for Yao Jingu’s head, he stuffed it inside a black bag and put it in front of the tombstone.
After doing all that, he went to a 24-hour supermarket located at the foot of the mountain and bought a bottle of white wine. He then returned to the tombstone and drank alone as he leaned on it.
He dared not let himself get drunk for the past five years. However, he was willing to turn a blind eye that day. He just wanted to accompany his parents who had died five years ago in Cloud Lake Manor.
...
Nine o’clock in the morning.
A Beetle was driving slowly toward Sky Stone Mountain.
Although Sun Yi had been in fear throughout the whole day, she always paid a visit to the dead Ye family every year at the same time, no matter what.
If she did not visit them, nobody else would. How pitiful it was.
She had done it habitually throughout the past five years.
After parking her car at the foot of the mountain, she started walking toward the stairs with a few memorial gifts in her hand.
It was a long flight of stairs. By the time she was about two-thirds the way there, she was panting drenched in sweat.
All of a sudden, she squinted her eyes because she saw a man sitting in front of the Ye family’s tombstone.
As the tombstone was quite far away, she could not see clearly. However, it seemed like the man was drinking.
Hmm?
Could he be a distant relative of the Ye family?
Sun Yi continued to climb up the stairs curiously. Slowly, the face-line of that man became clearer.
When she finally saw who the man was, her mind went blank. She was stunned and took a few steps back unconsciously. As she covered her mouth, tears began welling up in her eyes. Her body began to tremble uncontrollably as well!
‘How can it be him?!’
