Chapter 1663

Today, after Gu Yanzhong heard about the Wanlong Palace storming the Ye family, he went out to beg for help everywhere.

He originally wanted to rely on his old face to beg for more helpers for Ye Chen.

However, the members of all the major families in Jingcheng were already terrified by this matter.

The reputation and strength of the Wanlong Palace were so powerful that everyone in these major Jingcheng families concluded that the Ye family would definitely die this time.

Therefore, no one was willing to have any further involvement with the Ye family at this time.

This was also the reason why Su Chengfeng began to get carried away so early.

Because in everyone's view, the Ye family could not possibly escape this time.

The Wanlong Palace was like an iron chariot rushing in, easily able to crush the flesh and blood of the Ye family under its wheels!

Therefore, when these people heard that Gu Yanzhong still wanted to go to Mount Ye Ling to help, they were so scared that they refused repeatedly.

Let alone coming to help, they didn't even dare to speak a few more words to Gu Yanzhong, directly sending him out of their homes as if they were sending away a plague god.

Gu Yanzhong ran around outside all day, purely in vain, and he also ended up full of anger.

The anger accumulated throughout the day caused his blood pressure to rise very high when he returned, and he almost fainted.

At this time, he was lying quietly in the living room receiving an IV drip of blood pressure medication, with his wife Lin Wanqiu guarding him on the side.

Hearing Gu Qiuyi's words, Ye Chen hurriedly said, "Quick, take me to see Uncle Gu. He is someone who has taken the Soul-Returning Pill; how could he still get high blood pressure from anger? Just how angry did he get..."

As he spoke, Ye Chen pulled Gu Qiuyi and strode into the villa.

As soon as he entered, he saw Gu Yanzhong lying on the sofa, receiving an IV drip while cursing, "Those dog-day snobs, usually they wag their tails and beg for pity like dogs in front of me, but now that I'm looking for them to provide some manpower and support the scene, they all wish they could kick me out of their homes. They are truly bastards!"

Lin Wanqiu couldn't help but persuade him, "Alright, alright, calm down first, don't ruin your health because of these people."

Gu Yanzhong said with endless depression, "I'm not mainly angry; I'm anxious! I'm afraid that tomorrow Chen'er won't be able to fight that Wan-what-the-hell-Long Palace..."

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile, "Uncle Gu, don't worry. Tomorrow, no matter how powerful that Wanlong Palace and that Wan Pojun are, I can handle them all."

Hearing Ye Chen's voice, the couple hurriedly looked over.

Gu Yanzhong struggled to sit up and blurted out, "Chen'er is back!"

Ye Chen nodded, stepped forward quickly, and said to Gu Yanzhong and Lin Wanqiu, "Uncle Gu, Auntie Lin, this small matter of the Wanlong Palace is actually not worth fearing at all. You don't need to worry about me at all."

Gu Yanzhong asked in surprise, "Chen'er, you... do you have a way to deal with that Wanlong Palace?"

Ye Chen smiled, "For small characters like this, it's not even a matter of dealing with them or not."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "I have actually been waiting for that Wan Pojun to come to my door. As long as he dares to come, I will trample him under my feet, and then logically ascend to the position of the head of the Ye family."

Speaking of this, Ye Chen shrugged and smiled, "If he doesn't come, I really wouldn't know where to start with taking over the Ye family. The old master is in the prime of his life; I can't just forcibly pull him down from the position of family head."

Gu Yanzhong was immediately overjoyed and blurted out with extreme excitement, "Chen'er! Is what you said true?!"

Ye Chen nodded and smiled, "Of course, how could I lie to you about such a thing? Don't you want me to become the head of the Ye family, inherit my father's legacy, and then carry forward the Ye family? As the saying goes, if you don't break, you can't build! If the Ye family didn't have any crisis at all, how would they be willing to let me sit in the position of family head?"

"Therefore, the best way is to break first and then build!"

"And this Wan Pojun is the hammer that helps me break the Ye family!"

After hearing Ye Chen's words, Gu Yanzhong was stunned for a few seconds, then subconsciously asked, "Chen'er, this Wanlong Palace is actually very strong, with tens of thousands of people under its command. You can't fight four hands with two fists, let alone so many people!"

Ye Chen smiled, "Uncle Gu, don't worry. The Wanlong Palace does have many people, but the vast majority are mercenaries they hired with money. If something happens on the top, these people will immediately scatter like birds and beasts. Moreover, their true core team is only about a hundred people, which is not worth fearing."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "Besides, they don't dare to bring many people into Huaxia with great fanfare; at most, it's just a group of backbone members sneaking in quietly."

Gu Yanzhong added, "I've heard that those backbone members of theirs, one by one, are almost all martial arts experts, and some are even top-tier martial arts experts. Can you handle them?"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "I had a confrontation with the Wanlong Palace in the Middle East some time ago, which indirectly led to them losing thousands of lives, and more than ten thousand people were captured. And among them, one of the four great battle kings, whose strength is second only to Wan Pojun, is no different from a piece of trash in front of me. I have already captured him and had him brought to Jingcheng. Tomorrow morning, I will take him to Mount Ye Ling."

Gu Yanzhong said dumbfounded, "Chen'er! There are rumors in the martial arts world that the Wanlong Palace suffered a huge failure in the Middle East some time ago. Does this matter have anything to do with you?"

Ye Chen nodded and smiled, "It can almost be said that their failure was largely due to me."

Gu Yanzhong listened, stunned. After a long while, he wished he could look up to the sky and laugh!

Immediately, he laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Great! That's truly great! In that case, the Wanlong Palace is not an enemy at all; this is a friendly force that traveled thousands of miles at the cost of their lives to deliver a pillow to you, Chen'er!!"

After saying this, he pulled out the IV needle from his wrist and waved his hand at Lin Wanqiu, "Wife! Quick! Prepare wine and food! I want to have a few drinks with Chen'er! Tonight I want to get drunk!"

Lin Wanqiu was equally excited, but she didn't expect her husband, who had just received blood pressure medication, to pull out the needle and prepare to drink.

So she smiled helplessly, "You are receiving an IV drip, how can you drink?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Yanzhong blurted out in rebuttal, "Drink! I must drink! This is much more satisfying than the New Year! How can it be right not to drink some wine!"

What Gu Yanzhong didn't know was that Su Chengfeng was thinking the same thing at this moment.

That night, a light drizzle suddenly began to fall in Jingcheng.

During this time of spring rain falling silently, many people suffered from insomnia, and many people drank too much.

The first to get drunk was the elderly Su Chengfeng.

There was no help for it; he was too happy tonight.

After the Su family suffered huge blows one after another and fell apart, he finally ushered in an exciting moment.

Because he had been suppressed for too long, he was already a bit carried away at this moment.

Of the bottle of Moutai that Su Anshun brought over, he drank more than half of it himself, and the remaining small half was poured onto the ground cup by cup, all offered to Ye Changying.

Saying it was to offer a toast to Ye Changying of the Ye family was actually just to satisfy the pleasure deep in his heart.

Drinking to the end, Su Chengfeng looked back at himself rushing back to Jingcheng quietly with only Su Anshun, without a single child or grandchild, without a single relative by his side, and felt incomparably melancholy in his heart.

He drank a few more cups, muttered for a long time while crying and laughing, before finally succumbing to the drunkenness and falling into a deep sleep, and was sent back to his room by Su Anshun.

And also drunk was Wan Pojun.

Because tomorrow morning, he would have to exhume his parents' coffins from the ancestral grave and take them to Mount Ye Ling, he planned to keep watch in front of his parents' grave for the night.

After twenty years of enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens, he was finally going to avenge his parents. Excited, he drank several jin of high-proof white wine in front of his parents' grave.

Originally, with his strength, he could have forced all the alcohol out of his body through his internal energy, but he didn't do so because he really wanted to get drunk.

On the other side, Gu Yanzhong also got drunk, so drunk that he was almost unconscious.

It was Ye Chen who helped him back to the bedroom he shared with Lin Wanqiu.

He was too happy tonight.

After worrying all day, being afraid all day, and feeling aggrieved all day, suddenly receiving good news from Ye Chen, this mood of starting low and ending high made him uncontrollably excited.

Lin Wanqiu took care of Gu Yanzhong as he slept, and Gu Qiuyi held Ye Chen's hand, unwilling to let go in the living room for a long time.

Ye Chen persuaded her to go to sleep, but she refused no matter what, insisting on leaning against Ye Chen's shoulder on the sofa.

She said that this was the only way she could constantly feel Ye Chen's presence, because she was afraid that after waking up, Ye Chen would have already left home and gone to Mount Ye Ling alone.

Ye Chen knew this girl was concerned about him, so he let her be.

Thus, the two sat on the sofa, chatting about the past, until Gu Qiuyi couldn't hold on anymore and fell into a deep sleep.

Ye Chen just sat on the sofa letting Gu Qiuyi lean on him, not moving all night, and he didn't fall asleep either.

He didn't think about Wan Pojun at all in his mind; what he thought about was how he should inherit his father's legacy in the future and let the Ye family reach the pinnacle of the world.

Although he knew very little about the situation overseas, he always felt that a broad road had already taken shape, just waiting for him to truly set off!

Moreover, similar to Wan Pojun, he also hoped that one day he could avenge his deceased parents!
