The sudden death of the new leader of the Four Seas Gang was so shocking that even Ye Tianchen couldn’t track down the killer. This was quite astonishing, as the Divine Movement Skill, known as the fastest Qi Manipulation Flight method, had already been cultivated to the Small Success realm by Ye Tianchen. In a split second, he rushed to a location sensed by his Divine Thought, yet the assassin managed to escape. This assassin, who killed the scarred burly man, was extremely formidable.

All signs pointed towards one conclusion: the assassin who killed the scarred burly man was none other than the Double Saber King, Yang Gui. The Martial Arts True Power, not weak by any means, had long been infused into the scarred burly man’s body by Yang Gui. Regardless of the distance, as long as his Divine Thought moved, the martial power within the scarred burly man would explode, directly resulting in his gruesome death by head explosion!

There was a high possibility that in the past ten years, Yang Gui had also become a martial artist, and one with a considerable cultivation realm. His return to China seemed to carry an earth-shattering conspiracy, a treasonous and anti-human colossal plan. As learnt from the scarred burly man, Yang Gui would collaborate with Hu Changhe and Qin Mingshan, both of whom were evidently powerful martial artists with unfathomable combat power, which was worrying for Ye Tianchen. If these three were indeed to join forces, and Ye Tianchen couldn’t accurately trace their movements, the consequences would certainly be disastrous.

Ye Tianchen hadn’t expected to encounter such a significant problem upon his return to the city. Encountering three powerful martial artists planning to harm the country and people wasn’t something the state could simply stop. If he didn’t intervene, the results would be grave.

Of course, matters of serving the country and people weren’t concepts Ye Tianchen held. The apocalyptic world was brutal and bloody, the martial arts world vast beyond measure, and matters of the nation were at the base. A martial artist’s strength could destroy the entire planet, making nations insignificant. However, he had made a promise to the Chief No.1 and Vice Chairman Yang, accepting the task, and Ye Tianchen was a man of his word. Moreover, he had to think of his mother and little sister, even if not for himself. If the nation were to face danger, their lives would not fare well. Besides, was Ye Tianchen one to retreat in the face of challenges? Clearly not. He hoped his enemies and opponents grew stronger, so he himself could become more powerful through adversity.

After leaving the Four Seas Hotel, Ye Tianchen, Wuxue, Bao Tianglong, Wang Jie, Lin Duan, and Hu Long didn’t return to the training base. Instead, Ye Tianchen returned to his villa. Meanwhile, the five others scattered to search for Brother Li San with all efforts. To Ye Tianchen, nothing was more important than his brothers’ lives. He needed to first ensure Brother Li San’s safety before he could confidently tackle Hu Changhe, Qin Mingshan, and Yang Gui. These three weren’t ordinary experts but were mainstream martial artists of this world similar to him. According to Wuxue, their cultivation was deeply unfathomable, and they must possess some exceptional traits. To kill them together, Ye Tianchen felt he needed a plan; otherwise, those around him might be in danger.

When Ye Tianchen returned to the villa, Qi Ruxue had already prepared a table full of food. His mother Luo Yan, little sister Ye Qianwen, and Xiao Ya, making up four women, were already waiting by the dining table. It had been over two months since they’d seen each other, and Ye Tianchen missed them dearly, just as they missed him.

“Brother, why did it take you so long to come back? It’s been over two months, and mom and I were really worried about you!” Ye Qianwen gave Ye Tianchen a side glance as she spoke.

“Hehe, I’m back now, right? I also missed my sister and mother,” Ye Tianchen chuckled.

“You cheeky boy, if you’re going away for so long, at least let us know in advance. You’re all grown up now, don’t make your mother worry too much!” Luo Yan said this, but there was no sign of reproach in her expression. The love parents have for their children is incomparable; no matter how big the mistake, parents never truly get angry. This is the greatness of parental love.

“Tianchen, have you been well during this time? Take care of your health!” Xiao Ya said gently.

“With my physique, I’m in top shape, haha!” Ye Tianchen laughed exaggeratedly.

“Hey, starting to grab food without washing your hands again? Are you trying to make me confiscate the delicacies?” Qi Ruxue teased with a smile as she came from the kitchen carrying a plate of scallops and saw Ye Tianchen grabbing a lobster with his hands.

“How could I forget about washing hands? I was just touching!” Ye Tianchen grinned mischievously.

In front of his mother and others, in front of his family, Ye Tianchen always had a smiling face. Even with the rare carefree attitude, he showed it all, regardless of what troubles or crises were looming. He didn’t want his mother and sister worried. The former loafer son and brother who couldn’t bear any responsibility was long gone. The current Ye Tianchen was upright and ambitious, committed to protecting a world for his family.

When Ye Tianchen came out of the washroom, there was only one lobster left on the table. Without hesitation, he rushed over and seized the lobster, mock-scowling, “Nobody take it from me!”

“No one was fighting you for it!” Xiao Ya exclaimed, puzzled.

“Who’s fighting for it with you?” Ye Qianwen stuck her tongue out at her brother Ye Tianchen.

“I’m the one who cooked, yet you snatched it so quickly!” Qi Ruxue playfully pouted.

“Don’t worry, this lobster is for you, we won’t contest it!” Mother Luo Yan laughed.

“Mom, I knew you’d treat me the best, but these three leave me speechless,” Ye Tianchen chuckled.

Qi Ruxue, Ye Qianwen, and Xiao Ya all rolled their eyes at Ye Tianchen, and seeing his greediness made them amused and helpless. As Ye Tianchen buttered up his mother, he didn’t expect her next words to make him feel like he had fallen into an abyss.

“We’ve all eaten two lobsters each already; this last one was specially saved for you!” Luo Yan smiled and said.

“Ah? You each had two already? And only left me one, this small, you guys are too much!” Ye Tianchen’s expression was comically incredulous, almost ready to exclaim towards the sky!

This dinner was extremely joyous, with laughter and chatting from the whole family, bringing Ye Tianchen a great sense of comfort. A home is truly the final resting place for a person. The warmth of home is irreplaceable, something Ye Tianchen cherishes deeply. He wished he could spend all his time with his parents and little sister, because one day, if the Ancient Transmission Array on Earth truly reformed, he knew he would have to leave. There were many things for him to verify and complete, and the great revenge of the apocalypse still needed to be avenged. Thus, he would have to leave his parents and little sister, the time of return and the certainty of survival both unknown!

After dinner, Ye Tianchen chatted with his mother Luo Yan and little sister Ye Qianwen, while Qi Ruxue and Xiao Ya, both beautiful, washed dishes and tidied the house.

“Tianchen, haven’t you thought about settling down with anyone yet?” Luo Yan asked her son.

“Mom, I’m only twenty-one. Are you already eager to have a grandson?” Ye Tianchen joked.

“Don’t always joke around. I’m being serious. Ruxue has been taking great care of us all this time, able to handle both the hall and the kitchen. Xiao Ya is gentle and considerate, loves you dearly, and waits for you at the door every day. You should at least choose one of them, right?” Luo Yan commented with heartfelt sincerity.

“Brother, I have to say, Sister Ruxue and Sister Xiao Ya both really love you. You can’t just leave them hanging like this. Which one do you like, which one are you choosing? You have to give an answer!” Ye Qianwen added earnestly.

Ye Tianchen was taken aback, knowing well that both his mother and sister were right. Qi Ruxue and Xiao Ya truly loved him, and he should indeed give some kind of answer, at least to let them know who he chooses, so the rest can seek their happiness instead of being delayed by him. After all, not everyone could be like Ye Tianchen, becoming a martial artist dominating this world. They would still live the lives of ordinary people, and some matters needed to be clarified and resolved sooner or later.

However, Qi Ruxue, Dongfang Meng, Ling Yuxun, Li Xiaoqing, Liu Rumei, Su Feifei, Xiao Ya, and Zhang Ruotong — these eight women either had feelings or a sense of duty towards Ye Tianchen. How could he make a choice? Choosing one would inevitably hurt the hearts of the other seven, something Ye Tianchen didn’t want to see. He hoped these women would gradually understand that he, Ye Tianchen, wasn’t from their world, and it would be difficult for them to stay together. They could be friends, even great friends, but becoming lovers might not be in their best interest.

“Mom, sister, I promise you, I will forever cherish their affections and protect them with my life. So I don’t wish to say words that might hurt them, won’t make decisions that might hurt them, and definitely won’t do irresponsible things that might hurt them. Simply being happy together with them is enough for me!” Ye Tianchen solemnly declared. .)
