Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 202: Chapter 201 [The Woman Who Visited Suddenly]

Old Lady Ku and Ye Tianchen were meeting for the first time, and if one were to ask why Old Lady Ku looked down on Ye Tianchen, speaking in a sharp and critical tone, the only explanation would be because of Ling Yuxun.

Although on the surface Old Lady Ku seemed very cold toward Ling Yuxun, not treating her as the young mistress of the Ling family and lacking the usual respectful demeanor between master and servant, Yuxun knew in her heart that Old Lady Ku deeply cared for her. She had always protected her since childhood; whenever Yuxun was in danger, Old Lady Ku was the first to appear, just like protecting her own granddaughter.

What made Ling Yuxun feel puzzled was that although Old Lady Ku could be very cold and terse at times, she was definitely not someone who would strike without a good cause. So why would she attack Ye Tianchen after just a few words?

Facing Old Lady Ku’s swift and forceful attack, Ye Tianchen was unable to avoid it and could only let out a loud roar. This roar, mixed with the energy of the King-level Superpower Realm, made the nearby Ling Yuxun involuntarily cover her ears, while Old Lady Ku’s attacks slowed for a moment.

In that brief moment, Ye Tianchen dodged Old Lady Ku’s attack and threw a punch at her. He was dealing with a master from an Ancient Martial Sect and was not naive enough to hold back just because she was an old lady; it was a simple truth that in real society today, many old women were hundreds of times fiercer than the younger generation, not to mention those within the Ancient Martial Sects, where the older one was, the more profoundly powerful they were.

Bang!

Ye Tianchen’s punch went through, and Old Lady Ku frowned. She hadn’t expected Ye Tianchen, this grandson of the Ye family, to be so formidable. She had underestimated his power. Although she had not used her full strength in her rapid attack, using at least seventy percent, she did not expect to be avoided by Ye Tianchen, especially his sudden roar that felt soul-shaking, not knowing what skill it was.

Thinking this, but not slowing her hands, Old Lady Ku did not dodge but countered with a palm strike. The punch and palm collided, and both stood unflinching, causing the nearby Ling Yuxun to open her sexy mouth in shock. She had never seen anyone stand up to Old Lady Ku or catch her attack; everyone else was defeated within a few moves. No matter if there would be stronger masters in the future, Ye Tianchen was now the first.

”No wonder you are so confident. Your strength is indeed formidable, but I must tell you that with your current skills, you will still die because the young master of Longteng surpasses you!” Old Lady Ku said with a cold laugh.

”Is that so? I didn’t even use my full strength against you, not to mention dealing with some damn young master of Longteng!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”You... you mean you haven’t used your full strength?” Old Lady Ku frowned and clenched her fists as she asked.

”I don’t strike the elderly, unless they go too far!” Ye Tianchen continued with an innocent smile.

Old Lady Ku paused for a moment, then relaxed, no longer looking like she wanted to strike, and with a touch of angry laughter, she said, ”Fine, we will see how tough you can talk when you see the Ye family being destroyed...”

”Do you really think I am no match for the young master of Longteng?” Ye Tianchen asked quietly.

”It’s not a matter of thinking; I am certain that you, Ye Tianchen, going against the young master of Longteng, will not only die, but the Ye family will also be destroyed,” Old Lady Ku said, not optimistic about Ye Tianchen’s chances and with a hint of mocking the weak challenging the powerful.

”Well, how about we make a bet?” Ye Tianchen suddenly asked with a smile.

”A bet? What do you want to bet on?” Old Lady Ku asked curiously.

”If the young master of Longteng loses, you personally come to the Ye family to apologize!” Ye Tianchen said seriously.

”You... have guts. No one has ever dared to demand an apology from me, Old Lady Ku. You, Ye Tianchen, would be the first. I accept your request. If you win against the young master of Longteng, come find me at the Ling family, that is if you can even enter the gates of the Ling family!” Old Lady Ku eventually nodded.

”Very well, I will someday pay a visit to the Ling family!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

Watching Ling Yuxun walk away with Old Lady Ku, Ye Tianchen did not say much more, although he could tell that Yuxun did not want to leave and was very reluctant to part with him. It was then that Ye Tianchen felt that perhaps as Xiao Ya had said, Yuxun’s feelings for him were not just those of childhood playmates but included a hint of affection. Therefore, Ye Tianchen only said one thing to Yuxun.

”There won’t be any problems. Just wait for me at home. When the time comes, I will come to see you, and we can play and go to school together again!”

These seemingly plain and simple words made Ling Yuxun choke up, unable to speak, tears streaming down from her eyes, but her face was radiant with a bright smile, a happy smile. She could feel how much Ye Tianchen valued her. At least in his heart, she had a place, and that made Yuxun very happy.

”I will wait for you!” Ling Yuxun said tearfully but earnestly.

Ye Tianchen nodded and waved goodbye to Ling Yuxun. He was not trying to be a romantic hero or to have all the women in the world love him; having been reborn in this life, he had long vowed to cherish and protect those around him, to make them happy and joyful.

Riding his flashy motorcycle, Ye Tianchen also left Longteng University. During this time, he sensed several powerful presences observing him. He didn’t mind; dealing with the obvious enemies first was the plan, and once those were out of the way, the hidden ones would naturally show themselves, and it wouldn’t be too late to deal with them then.

The reason Ye Tianchen wanted to make this bet with Old Lady Ku was simple. Since he had decided to build his own influence, why not take the opportunity to strengthen the Ye family as well? Naturally, he didn’t need to pay attention to his two uncles for now, but just the thought of the Ye family growing strong again and rising up—how happy his parents and little sister would be—was enough to determine his actions.

Building his own influence and strengthening the Ye family wasn’t something that could be achieved overnight. It required taking one step at a time, gradually re-establishing the Ye family’s prestige, and letting the other major powers and families know that the Ye family was rising once again, no longer to be bullied as before!

At seven o’clock in the evening, Ye Tianchen parked his motorcycle at the front door of his home. As he pushed the door open and entered, he found his mom, Luo Yan, cooking in the kitchen, while his sister, Ye Qianwen, was playing on the computer in the living room, thoroughly enjoying herself and occasionally bursting into laughter.

”Finished playing...hahaha!” Ye Tianchen quietly approached his sister from behind and suddenly pressed the shutdown button on the laptop. Instantly, Ye Qianwen, who had been enjoying her game, was stupefied because her laptop shut down.

”Ah... Brother, I’m going to kill you! I had just reached level five... I’m going to kill you!”

Ye Qianwen shouted as she lunged at Ye Tianchen, swinging her small fists. Ye Tianchen ran away laughing loudly, infuriating Ye Qianwen who gnashed her teeth in pursuit. It had been quite a challenge to get to level five in that game, taking her an entire two hours and countless restarts. Now it was all ruined by her brother; how could Ye Qianwen not be furious?

”What are you two siblings up to again? Stop fooling around and come get your bowls and chopsticks ready for dinner!” Luo Yan, hearing the noise from the kitchen, came out and saw Ye Tianchen and Ye Qianwen chasing and play-fighting, couldn’t help but shake her head with a smile.

”Got it, Mom, I’ll be right there!” Ye Tianchen said, grinning.

”Mom, wait a minute before starting dinner. I absolutely have to deal with my brother...” Ye Qianwen pouted, clenching her small fists and continued chasing Ye Tianchen.

”You two siblings are still like children...”

Luo Yan was speaking with a smile when she suddenly heard a knock at the door. Shaking her head, she put down the chopsticks in her hand, took off her apron, and walked to the front door to open it and see who was coming at this time. When Luo Yan opened the villa door, she couldn’t help but freeze.

Although Ye Tianchen and Ye Qianwen were play-fighting, they suddenly noticed that after their mom Luo Yan went to answer the door, there was an unusual silence, which made them both curious.

”Mom, who is it? Is it my dad coming back?” Ye Qianwen glanced at her brother Ye Tianchen and walked towards the door.

”Yeah, then I’ll open a bottle of red wine to share a few glasses with Dad!” Ye Tianchen also said with a smile.

However, when Ye Tianchen and Ye Qianwen reached the villa’s main door, they saw Luo Yan standing expressionlessly in place, even looking somewhat angry, and in front of Luo Yan stood a woman, an extremely beautiful woman. Even as night had fallen, her beauty could not be dimmed.

”Is it you?” Ye Tianchen asked in surprise.

”I have something to discuss with you, I’d like to talk!” the beautiful woman standing at the Ye family’s main entrance said as she glanced at Ye Tianchen.

”Please come in!” Despite some reservations about the woman in front of her, Luo Yan maintained her good manners, as a host should.

”No need, Auntie, I just have something to discuss with Ye Tianchen. I’ll leave after that,” the beautiful woman said, smiling amiably at Luo Yan.

Luo Yan didn’t respond but turned to look at her son, Ye Tianchen. After all, Ye Tianchen was now an adult, and these matters should be his own decision.

”Mom, you and sister go ahead and have dinner. I’ll just be a moment and come right back!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile as he walked to the door to his mother, Luo Yan.

”Be careful!” Luo Yan nodded.

Ye Tianchen glanced at the beautiful woman at the door and said coolly, ”Let’s go. There’s a small pavilion nearby where we can talk!”(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote and support it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
