"Wear a Xiuhe to accompany me to enjoy the cherry blossoms?"

Hearing Nanako's words, Ye Chen couldn't help but look forward to it.

Nanako in a red Xiuhe, paired with the pink and white cherry blossoms all over the sky, although he hadn't seen the scene, it must be beautiful.

So, he said to Nanako: "Since that's the case, then next spring, I must go to Japan."

Ito Nanako said happily: "Really? Then it's a deal! Next spring, I'll be waiting for you in Japan!"

The two reached an agreement, and Nanako's mood was indescribable. She couldn't help but hold Ye Chen's arm, took the initiative to interlock her fingers with his, and whispered beside him: "Ye Chen-kun, I am really too happy today. Today was originally Otousan's birthday. I didn't expect to be able to come to New York to see you, and more importantly, Otousan has recovered as before. This is too significant for him..."

As she spoke, Nanako complained: "You don't know what this stubborn old man looks like at home. He always has a long face, you can never see him smile, and he always sighs. I know him too well. He has been strong all his life, and suddenly falling to the point where even daily life needs someone to take care of him, the inner gap is very large, so large that ordinary people can't imagine, and it's very likely that he won't be able to walk out of it for the rest of his life. It was you who gave Otousan a new life. If it weren't for you, he might have been depressed until the moment he passed away..."

Speaking of this, Nanako looked at Ye Chen, squeezed his hand tightly, and said extremely seriously: "Ye Chen-kun, thank you! Thank you for giving such precious medicine to Otousan. Before, one Rejuvenation Pill could be auctioned for hundreds of billions of dollars. If the pill you gave Otousan this time were to be auctioned, I'm afraid the price wouldn't be lower than the Rejuvenation Pill, right?"

Ye Chen smiled and said: "If the pill were to be auctioned, it could naturally fetch a very high price, but I probably won't hold any more pill auctions in the future."

Nanako asked curiously: "Why? Wasn't the last auction very successful?"

Ye Chen lamented: "The world in my eyes now and the world in my eyes at the time of the auction have undergone great changes."

As he spoke, Ye Chen continued: "At the time of the auction, I felt that my competitors in this world were nothing more than three top families, including my grandfather's family."

"However, some time ago, I realized that in this world, there are actually some competitors I don't know about, or even know nothing about. The strength of these competitors might be much stronger than those few top families."

Subsequently, Ye Chen told Ito Nanako about the encounter of his grandparents some time ago in a concise manner.

After hearing this, Ito Nanako was already too shocked to speak.

She couldn't help but lament: "Ye Chen-kun, families that have existed for hundreds of years are not strange in my opinion. Although there have been various turmoils all over the world in these hundreds of years, Japan has the advantage of geography, so the local area basically hasn't encountered any war. So in Japan, almost every ninja family has a history of hundreds of years, and many old brands also have a long history..."

"But to be honest, I have never heard of any family or organization that can continue to develop and grow in such a near-secret way for hundreds of years..."

As she spoke, Nanako added: "Ye Chen-kun, the dead soldiers you just mentioned, can be firmly controlled by this organization for hundreds of years, and in these hundreds of years, these dead soldiers haven't figured out the specific situation of the organization, and don't even know where they live on weekdays. This requires the organization to have extremely strong control over the dead soldiers. To achieve this kind of control, the gap in levels must be large enough to be possible..."

Speaking of this, Nanako said with a solemn expression: "These dead soldiers give me the feeling of monkeys kept in a zoo. Except for living according to the requirements of the keepers, they have no ability to resist their own fate. But the problem is, these dead soldiers are not monkeys, but living people. This means that the organization behind them is at a much higher level than humans, perhaps completely out of our realm."

Ye Chen nodded and said with great emotion: "I also had a feeling of being a frog in a well because of this incident, so now looking back at the Rejuvenation Pill auction, it was a bit rash. I should have treated the Rejuvenation Pill as a top secret and shouldn't have taken it out for open auction."

Ito Nanako pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Ye Chen-kun, in my consistent cognition, strength and fame are almost complementary. It's like putting a cast-iron teapot on charcoal fire. The stronger the fire, the higher the temperature of the water. Under this basic logic, as long as the fire is strong enough, it can burn the water in the teapot dry, or even melt the teapot. When we see the teapot being melted by the furnace fire, we won't feel that this matter exceeds our cognition."

Speaking of this, Ito Nanako changed the subject and said: "However, this mysterious organization has overturned this basic logic. According to your statement, their strength should be very strong, but their popularity is almost zero. This is like the fire in the furnace being red, but the water in the teapot is still ice-cold. This sounds a bit unbelievable, but it is precisely because it is unbelievable that it proves that the strength of this organization has exceeded my normal cognition."

Ye Chen nodded and sighed: "I have the same thoughts as you, so in my subconscious, the strength of this organization should be much stronger than the three families I know, but how much stronger exactly is still a mystery."

Ito Nanako suddenly looked up at Ye Chen and said subconsciously: "Ye Chen-kun... Actually... Actually, in my eyes, you were once such an existence... When I didn't know you, your strength was so powerful that it completely exceeded my cognitive range, but I had never heard of you at the time. I had people investigate your background and found that you were just a live-in son-in-law of a small family in Jin Ling, which made me feel even more unbelievable. If you hadn't taken the initiative to show your strength in front of me, I might never have guessed in my life that in a small local family in Jin Ling, there was such a powerful live-in son-in-law hidden."

Speaking of this, Ito Nanako asked Ye Chen: "Ye Chen-kun, in my eyes at that time, would you be like the mysterious organization in your eyes now? It might be hidden in some corner you didn't pay attention to before. Before they show their strength, no one knows how powerful they are."

Ye Chen suddenly raised his eyebrows.

He felt that what Nanako said made a lot of sense, and even gave him a new train of thought.

He had always wanted to know what the mysterious organization was, but as Nanako said, there must be many people who, like him, wanted to figure out who he was.

In other words, this mysterious organization might be like him living in the Xiao family, using an inconspicuous identity, hiding in some inconspicuous corner...
