Supreme Lord of Towers

In the grand hall, Ye Chen was so furious that his entire body was trembling violently, even the features on his face twisted slightly, appearing somewhat ferocious.

He never expected that the Xiao Family would treat his adoptive mother in such a way.

It must be known that over the years, although his adoptive mother married into the Ye Family, she has always been finding ways to help the Xiao Family.

Especially after learning that Xiao Lan was unable to awaken her bloodline due to congenital deficiencies, she even asked Ye Chen for a piece of Purple Thunder Crystal to help her successfully awaken her bloodline.

But now, not only does the Xiao Family have no gratitude, they even want to completely sever ties with Xiao Hui.

This is really too chilling.

”It’s Ye Chen, how did this trash come here too.”

”Hmph! Such scum actually has the guts to come to our Xiao Family, truly shameless.” In the grand hall, the younger generation of the Xiao Family couldn’t help but sneer, their eyes full of deep disdain.

As for Xiao Lan, there was not a hint of expression on her face, she didn’t even glance at Ye Chen, as if looking at him would defile her eyes.

”Adoptive mother, this group of ungrateful things are not worthy of you kneeling. I’ll find a way about the quota myself, you don’t need to beg them.” Ye Chen suppressed the anger in his heart, and said softly to Xiao Hui.

His adoptive mother, in order to get him a spot to participate in the assessment, actually willingly knelt to Xiao Yang.

This made Ye Chen feel both moved and guilty.

If his strength were strong enough, how could his adoptive mother suffer such humiliation?

Become stronger!

Ye Chen must become stronger, or he won’t even be able to protect his loved ones.

”How impudent.”

”You trash, dare to speak disrespectfully in our Xiao Family, who gave you this courage?” The younger generation of the Xiao Family’s faces became extremely grim and rebuked Ye Chen harshly.

A mere piece of trash with a shattered dantian actually dared to accuse their Xiao Family of ingratitude, truly courting death.

If it weren’t for fearing Ye Chen’s adoptive father, they would have already taught him a lesson.

”Did I say something wrong? Xiao Lan, I ask you, when you couldn’t awaken your bloodline, who provided the Purple Thunder Crystal to help you? But now, how do you repay me and my adoptive mother?” Ye Chen’s gaze suddenly landed on Xiao Lan’s graceful figure and he sneered coldly at her.

”How dare you.”

”Who do you think you are to question Cousin Xiao Lan’s status? If you don’t leave the Xiao Family immediately, don’t blame us for being impolite.” Many of the younger generation of the Xiao Family’s eyes shot out cold light, as if they would attack Ye Chen at any moment.

In their view, a piece of trash with a shattered dantian like Ye Chen could easily be crushed with a flick of a finger. Who gave him the courage to act so outrageously here?

”Why? Xiao Lan, why don’t you answer me, are you guilty?” Ye Chen completely ignored everyone else, his gaze still tightly fixed on Xiao Lan, speaking coldly to her.

”Hmph!” At this moment, Xiao Lan’s dark eyes suddenly met Ye Chen’s, filled with intense mockery and disdain.

Then she brushed her hair from her forehead and said to Ye Chen in an incredibly cold tone, ”Ye Chen, you only gave me a piece of Purple Thunder Crystal, and you really want me to be grateful for the rest of my life? I will definitely compensate you for that Purple Thunder Crystal in the future, although for trash like you, no amount of compensation will be of any use. However, I don’t want to owe this kind of trash a favor.”

”This is your answer? Haha, I don’t want that Purple Thunder Crystal anymore, just consider it fed to a dog. Adoptive mother, let’s go.” Hearing Xiao Lan’s words, Ye Chen couldn’t help but laugh in extreme anger.

This Xiao Lan is definitely one of the most shameless women he has ever met, second only to Ye Lin’er.

One day, Ye Chen will make her regret what she has done.

”Ye Chen, do you think uttering such childish words will anger me? How naive, you should first think about your own future.

Ye Lin’er is now a Seed Student at the Celestial Flame Academy, to crush you would be like crushing a bug, let alone you who are a piece of trash with a shattered dantian. Even if you could cultivate, so what? Cherish the coming days, you might disappear from this world any time.” Xiao Lan said expressionlessly.

Then, she didn’t look at Ye Chen again and stepped out of the grand hall.

”Xiao Hui, considering you’re my cousin, I’ll warn you one last time, quickly sever ties with that trash, or you will regret it.” Xiao Yang said coldly.

”Don’t even think about it, as long as Chen’er is my adopted son for a day, he will always be my adopted son. Let’s go.” Xiao Hui said in an incredibly determined tone.

”Hmph! Truly stubborn and unrepentant, our Xiao Family has already completely severed ties with her, Ye Lin’er shouldn’t take out her anger on us.” Watching Xiao Hui’s gradually departing figure, a cold smile flashed at the corner of Xiao Yang’s mouth.

”Adoptive mother, I’m sorry for letting you endure so much grievance.” On the spacious street, Ye Chen’s expression was full of self-reproach.

”Silly child, you don’t need to apologize to me. If it weren’t for this matter, I might never have known the true nature of Xiao Yang and the others.” Xiao Hui couldn’t help but sigh, deeply disappointed in her own family.

”Adoptive mother, one day I will make them kneel before you to apologize.” Ye Chen clenched his fist tightly, his eyes shot out cold light.

Now, his cultivation has already stepped into the True Qi Realm Fourth Layer, with thirty-two Seas of Qi opened in his body.

As long as he is given enough time, not just the Xiao Family, even the most powerful family in the Celestial Flame Dynasty, he is confident he can flatten them.

Once he has enough strength, he will definitely settle the score with the Xiao Family.

”Chen’er, don’t tell your adoptive father about today’s incident, he’s not suited for anger right now,” Xiao Hui couldn’t help reminding Ye Chen.

During Ye Chen’s period of cultivation in the Canglan Mountain Range, Ye Ming’s injury in his Dantian has worsened significantly.

If he recklessly uses power again, it would genuinely risk his life.

So, it’s best not to let him know about this matter.

”Adoptive mother, don’t worry, I won’t talk about it,” Ye Chen nodded in agreement.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Ye Chen and Xiao Hui returned to Ye Ming’s residence through a secret passage.

Until now, Ye Kun and the others still didn’t know that Ye Chen had left the Ye Family, thinking he had always stayed in Ye Ming’s room.

”Chen’er, you’re back.” Upon seeing Ye Chen, Ye Ming couldn’t help feeling extreme joy, even embracing him.

During this time, every day he worried about Ye Chen’s safety.

After all, the Canglan Mountain Range is filled with demon beasts, extremely perilous.

Thankfully, Ye Chen has now returned safely, which allowed Ye Ming to breathe a sigh of relief.

”Adoptive father, how are your injuries?” Seeing Ye Ming’s face pale, Ye Chen couldn’t help but furrow his brows tightly.

He can sense that Ye Ming’s injury in his Dantian has worsened significantly compared to before.

If not treated in time, it could truly result in losing his cultivation completely.

”I should be able to hold on for ten days to half a month. As long as Chen’er can successfully enter the Celestial Flame Academy to cultivate, even if I end up completely useless, I won’t have any regrets.” Ye Ming smiled slightly.

His greatest hope now is for Ye Chen to join the Celestial Flame Academy, to become a student of it.

By then, not even Ye Lin’Er could arbitrarily harm Ye Chen.

In the Celestial Flame Academy, despite internal strife, killing other students is strictly prohibited and punished severely.

As long as Ye Chen stays in the Celestial Flame Academy, he shouldn’t face life-threatening danger.

”The Purple Heart Fruit, I must obtain that Purple Heart Fruit as soon as possible, otherwise everything will be too late!” Ye Chen was extremely anxious in his heart.

He plans to visit that canyon swiftly once the admission assessment ends.

Only by getting the Purple Heart Fruit can he hope to heal his adoptive father’s Dantian.

Otherwise, his adoptive father might never be able to cultivate again in this lifetime.

And his adoptive father, who once was the strongest in Kunzhou Prefecture, would feel worse than death if he really became useless.

Ye Chen can’t bear the thought of his adoptive father living in perpetual pain.

”By the way, madam, the admission assessment starts tomorrow, has the Xiao Family given Chen’er a quota?” Ye Ming suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hui’s body trembled, her face turned extremely unpleasant, and she was momentarily at a loss for words.

”Adoptive father, the quotas from the Xiao Family have all been allocated, so they couldn’t give me one. But don’t worry, I will definitely find a way to get a quota,” Ye Chen couldn’t help but comfort Ye Ming.

In fact, even he didn’t know where he would find a quota from.

”The Xiao Family, not even willing to give Chen’er a single quota, do they really think I’m useless after my Dantian injury? I’m going to the Xiao Family right now.” Ye Ming’s eyes suddenly erupted with anger.

The foundation of the Xiao Family is weaker than the Ye Family.

If it weren’t for him, Kunzhou Prefecture’s strongest, helping the Xiao Family over the years, they might have already been obliterated by the Luo Family.

Yet now, the Xiao Family isn’t even willing to give his adoptive son Ye Chen a quota.

This is truly a case of the tiger falling to the plains and being bullied by dogs!

If he doesn’t go to the Xiao Family to demand an explanation, there’s no way he could swallow this anger.

”Master, master, Ye Lin’Er is back.” Just as Ye Ming was furious, an old man hurriedly ran into Ye Ming’s residence, his expression extremely anxious.

”What? Isn’t Ye Lin’Er cultivating at the Celestial Flame Academy? How could she return to Kunzhou Prefecture, unless she’s here for Chen’er.” Ye Ming’s pupils shrank suddenly, and terrifying killing intent burst forth.
