Chapter 26: Horizontal comment: reasonable and proper

"You!"

"What do you mean, me?"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he gave Huang Yan no chance to speak and launched a divine sense attack at Huang Yan.

"You dog..."

Huang Yan hadn't finished speaking when he completely breathed his last.

Ye Chen looked at the corpse and said coldly, "Let the enemy return to the mountain; if they come later to cause me trouble, I won't do such a stupid thing."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, his figure vanished from the spot; from start to finish, his figure was never captured on surveillance, and the scene left no trace—even if the police wanted to investigate, they'd have no leads.

【You have for the first time killed a cultivator possessing cultivation; although it is an unorthodox path, he is still a cultivator. You defeated the strong with weakness, crossed levels to slay a cultivator; therefore, reward: realm increased by two. Current cultivation: Qi Refining Thirteenth Layer.】

Ye Chen ignored the system's voice, walked straight out of the toilet, then went to buy some things casually; after finishing his shopping, he left the supermarket.

As for that person's corpse, he doesn't need to handle it, because all they'll find is a myocardial infarction; anything else, they won't be able to discover.

……

At this moment, in a dark room, an old man slowly opened his eyes; although his body showed signs of age, his eyes were very spirited.

Who exactly killed my disciple? His soul tablet shattered. Although he was an unworthy disciple, my disciple Zhang Buwei is not someone just anyone can kill.

As he spoke, a monstrous killing intent burst forth in his eyes.

"Come here!"

As his words fell, a man in black clothes instantly appeared in the dark room, saying, "My disciple was killed in Dachang City; go bring that person's head to see me."

After Zhang Buwei's words fell, that person respectfully said, "Yes."

His voice was incredibly hoarse, like the sound of steel scraping sand.

After the black-clothed person finished speaking, his figure vanished in the dark room; after the black-clothed person left, Zhang Buwei's eyes stared straight ahead.

"It seems I've been hidden too long; some people have forgotten my existence. It's time to emerge and let them see my strength, Zhang Buwei's."

Zhang Buwei said, slowly rose, and left the dark room.

……

After Ye Chen got back in the car, he was greeted by Ye Nan's lecture.

"You bought a snack and took so long—it's been over ten minutes."

"Buying snacks naturally means picking what you like; shouldn't you choose carefully?"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Ye Nan also thought it made perfect sense, so he stopped talking and silently started the car, embarking on the way home.

All along the way, Ye Chen kept thinking about that cultivator.

"This world does have cultivators, but they cultivate not spiritual power but something akin to inner strength, like dark energy."

This is what Ye Chen summed up from his experience with Huang Yan.

"Does that also mean that this world might possibly have cultivators who cultivate spiritual power?"

Ye Chen was thinking about this, and he didn't even know when he'd gotten downstairs.

It was Ye Nan's voice that pulled him back from his thoughts.

"Little Chen, what are you thinking about? We're home, get out of the car."

"Okay."

Ye Chen heard Ye Nan's voice, came to his senses, and immediately replied.

Afterwards, Ye Chen got out of the car and followed Ye Nan back home.

Ye Chen told himself not to think about this anymore, because he was thinking about something else: whether the appearance of other cultivators also meant opportunities and the appearance of other heavenly treasures and earthly riches.

If that's really the case, then that would be a huge wave of opportunities.

After he finished eating, he prepared to go back to his room to start cultivating, but Ye Nan called him to go onto the small path.

"Old man, you're really hindering me from doing big things."

Ye Chen thought to himself, he didn't dare say those words out loud, but due to Ye Nan's pressure, he had no choice but to make a three-article agreement with Ye Nan.

First, cannot pressure him.

Second, let him snipe.

Third, only play for one hour.

After the three-article agreement, Ye Nan took Ye Chen onto the small path.

But not long after they started, Ye Nan began pressuring again.

Ye Nan again spoke his classic saying.

"Dad's vegetable dad is right, your vegetable dad beats you."

Up to this point Ye Chen could still tolerate it, but Ye Nan's next words really made him lose his temper, because he said, "Horizontal comment: reasonable and proper."

"Old man, you're going too far!"

"I'm your dad, what's wrong with bullying you? Besides, this isn't bullying; it's teaching you how to conduct yourself in the world."

"This is unreasonable!"

"Don't interfere, I'm your dad!"

Ye Chen's pent-up anger instantly turned to silence upon hearing those words; he couldn't speak for a while.

After a moment of stunned silence, he slowly said, "Fine, considering you're my old man, I won't hold it against you."

As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, Ye Nan gave him a knock on the head, saying, "You little brat, how dare you speak to your father like that? Believe it or not, I'll take you down offline."

"Come on, old man! You think I'm afraid of you!"

"Oh my, oh my, it seems it's been a while since I let you try the power of Seven Wolves; you're being incredibly rebellious!"

"Come on, come on, old man; today whoever backs down is the son."

After hearing Ye Chen's words, Ye Nan remained silent, merely silently taking out his Seven Wolves from his waist.

Ye Chen saw Ye Nan really coming, hurriedly slid over to him and said, "Dad! I'm your son, I got scared."

Ye Nan was stunned by Ye Chen's sudden reaction and couldn't react right away.

The twist was too big, his brain briefly crashed.

The words Ye Nan had on the tip of his tongue never came out.

Ye Nan looked at Ye Chen's sincere expression, suppressed his anger, and said, "I'll forgive you this time, but there won't be a next time. Come on, let's take the small path."

Upon hearing that he still had to follow Ye Chen onto the small path, Ye Chen pretended not to hear and said, "Ah? What did you say?"

"I said follow me onto the small path."

Ye Nan repeated himself, but by then Ye Chen had already taken advantage of Ye Nan's inattention to retreat to the door, flung it open, and at that moment Ye Chen locked the door without hesitation.

Bang——

The door was shut, and only then did Ye Nan react, smiling helplessly, "This brat."

As for why Ye Nan didn't react right away, it was naturally because Ye Chen used a little trick.

Ye Chen's silhouette as he closed the door was somewhat large, catching Lin Ruoxi's attention; she shouted from the living room, "Are you two planning to rebel?"

Upon hearing Lin Ruoxi's voice, Ye Chen immediately tiptoed, and Ye Nan in the e-sports room, upon hearing her voice, silently lowered the game's volume.

This is the family's authority; neither Ye Chen nor Ye Nan dares to defy it, for whoever challenges it will invite a storm.

After returning to his room, Ye Chen spent an hour learning hacking techniques, then began cultivating.

After a night of cultivation, his strength improved a bit; now he feels he's basically living a three-points-and-one-line routine.

Kindergarten, home, room cultivation.

In the early morning, Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of impure air.

"With my learning ability, after another hour of hacking techniques today I can find out where Bai Lingling's father is, and then I can go kill that beast."

Ye Chen thought to himself, then got out of bed and went to wash up.

But just then, Ye Chen suddenly sensed a faint killing intent.

His brushing motion stopped, and resentment gradually appeared on his face.

"This is never ending, huh!"
