Chapter 2600

Frankly speaking, Ye Chen didn't want his grandparents to come to Jin Ling.

But he also understood that this matter might not be under his control.

After thinking about it, he looked at Hong Changqing in front of him, suddenly had an idea, and said, "You send a message to the old lady now, telling her that you performed a divination for the An family and believe that the An family has a sign of great misfortune coming to Jin Ling this time, asking her to consider it carefully and it's best to withdraw this decision."

Hong Changqing asked in surprise, "Master Ye... if the pill Miss Gu took that day was given by you, then why do you want to avoid the An family?"

Ye Chen said indifferently, "I have my own considerations, no need for you to talk too much."

Hong Changqing nodded dejectedly, but the next moment, his eyes turned, and he suddenly remembered something, blurted out, "I remember! That Miss Gu, she is not just a celebrity... she has another identity, she is the fiancée of the grandson of the An family!"

After saying that, he stared at Ye Chen with wide eyes and said in horror, "Could it be... could it be... could it be that you are the grandson of the old lady of the An family, Ye Chen, who has been missing for many years?!"

Hearing Hong Changqing's words, Ye Chen was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that this Hong Changqing knew his name and could guess his identity.

However, he didn't hide anything and said directly, "You guessed right, I am Ye Chen."

"My god!" Hong Changqing felt a dizzy spell in his brain and then hurriedly said, "Master Ye, look at this... we are like a flood washing away the Dragon King Temple, family members not recognizing each other!"

Ye Chen said coldly, "Who is family with you?"

Hong Changqing hurriedly said, "Master Ye, I have a close relationship with your grandmother. Over the years, she has asked me to perform many rituals, all for you! Either to pray for your blessings or to point the way for you. I have even performed rituals to retrieve your file from the underworld to see if you were still alive..."

Ye Chen mocked, "You can talk to the underworld?"

Hong Changqing laughed dryly, "Oh, religious ritual... religious ritual... I don't have that ability. To put it bluntly, isn't it just helping your grandmother go through the motions and giving her psychological comfort! And I have always told the old lady, I said, old lady, your grandson is not ordinary. Look at my great ability, even I can't divine anything about him. I think it's impossible for the King of Hell's Book of Life and Death to have crossed out your grandson. It's because of my words that the old lady has always firmly believed that you are still alive!"

Speaking of this, Hong Changqing smiled and said, "Master Ye, to be honest, I, Hong Changqing, have spent a lot of effort for you over the years. Even if there is no credit, there is some hard work, right? Even if there is no hard work, I have been performing divination for so many years, there is always fatigue..."

Thinking of this, Hong Changqing pursed his lips and said with feigned magnanimity, "Forget it, forget it. I see that you kid have gone to such lengths to do all this, it's nothing more than wanting to help that Shi Tianqi keep this Jishi Hall. I, Hong, will be magnanimous today; this Jishi Hall is returned to Shi Tianqi, I don't want it!"

After saying this, he stroked his beard with one hand, flicked his long gown with the other, put his hands behind his back, and walked out with his head held high.

How could Ye Chen let him get away with it? He blocked his path directly and mocked, "Old thing, don't be in such a hurry to run away. Yesterday, you plotted to frame the Divine Physician Shi, which has already affected the reputation of Divine Physician Shi in Jin Ling. Now you want to wipe your butt and leave after lifting your legs? How can there be such a cheap thing?"

Hong Changqing panicked instantly and questioned him, "Then what exactly do you want!"

At this moment, Hong Changqing regretted a thousand times over having set his sights on Shi Tianqi's Jishi Hall!

Earlier, he hadn't expected that this matter would actually put him in such a passive state.

So much so that now he wanted to raise his hands and surrender, but the other party wouldn't let him.

Ye Chen looked at Hong Changqing at this time and said with a smile, "I heard from Divine Physician Shi that yesterday you made a bet with Divine Physician Shi, and the stake was a medicine cauldron. I see that cloth bag on your body is bulging; isn't that what's inside?"

Hong Changqing was so scared he took a step back, covered his cloth bag, and blurted out, "You want my medicine cauldron?!"

Ye Chen laughed, "Hey, you're wrong to say it like that. How can this be called me wanting it? It was clearly you who used it as a stake yesterday, but you cheated on yesterday's bet. By all rights, cheating is equivalent to losing. If you lose, you have to admit it. If you admit it, you have to take out the stake. Is there any problem with what I said?"

Hong Changqing was furious and cursed through gritted teeth, "Stop spouting nonsense here! When have I ever lost?! It was clearly I who won yesterday, but today I am magnanimous and won't pursue it, yet you are actually thinking of wanting my things. You are simply tired of living!"

After saying this, Hong Changqing's veins bulged, and he roared, "Kid! I have tolerated you for a long time. If you are sensible, move aside. You and I will mind our own business, but if you continue to be aggressive, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Ye Chen chuckled and said to the casual laborers hired by Chen Xiaozhao, "There's nothing for you here anymore; you can go."

The group of women already felt that the two of them were terrifyingly tense. Upon hearing this, they felt as if they had been granted amnesty and ran away one by one.

After everyone had run away, Ye Chen said to Chen Xiaozhao, "Xiaozhao, go and close the door. If this old thing doesn't take out the stake today, he won't be able to leave!"

Hong Changqing was completely enraged. He punched Shi Tianqi's consultation desk, smashing the solid wood desk to pieces, and then pointed at Ye Chen and roared, "Kid, I think you really don't know how the word 'death' is written!"

He had originally thought that if he showed a little of his strength as a martial arts expert, this kid would definitely be scared out of his wits, kneel on the ground, and kowtow to send him out.

But he never expected that Ye Chen would be completely indifferent to his status as an eight-star martial artist, and instead sneered with disdain, "I know how to write 'death', and I also know how to spell the word 'death' in English. If you don't take out that stake today, I'll find a buddy who specializes in human calligraphy to come over and carve the word 'death' in both Chinese and English on your wrinkled forehead with a knife!"

Celestial Master Hong was already about to be angered to death by Ye Chen!

He had traveled the world for many years and was respected wherever he went, but he never expected that upon arriving in Jin Ling, he would encounter a young man who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, and this young man actually wanted to carve words on his forehead with a knife!

He clenched his fists, stared fixedly at Ye Chen, and questioned coldly, "Kid, you have seen my strength. Do you really think I dare not kill you? I'll give you a chance to survive now: kneel on the ground and kowtow ten times, then delete all the videos, and I will spare your dog life. Otherwise, your head will end up like that table!"

Ye Chen mocked, "Old thing, it's not that I look down on you, but with your little bit of ability, you want to beat my head into that state? You are simply dreaming!"

Celestial Master Hong completely lost his mind this time. He gritted his teeth, stared fixedly at Ye Chen with bloodshot eyes, and roared coldly, "Kid, you are courting death!"

Having said that, Ye Chen looked at Hong Changqing and asked him, "I don't know what Master Hong's plans are now? You came to find me, and now you have found me. Should you be preparing to return to the United States?"
