"Senior Sister, what's wrong?" Ye Beichen asked, sensing that Tenth Senior Sister seemed a bit off.

Wang Ruyan shook her head, "It's nothing, just some issues back home in Jinling."

"Junior Brother, I need to head back for a bit. I'll come find you later."

"Alright, I'll stay in Jiangnan and continue investigating the cause of my parents' death. Maybe Uncle Zhou knows something." Ye Beichen nodded.

"Okay."

Wang Ruyan nodded lightly.

She also instructed that if Ye Beichen came to the Dihao Hotel for a meal, they shouldn't charge him.

After watching Tenth Senior Sister leave, Ye Beichen headed straight to the Zhou family's villa. Zhou Tianhao, Li Haixia, and Zhou Ruoyu were anxiously waiting at home. As soon as Ye Beichen appeared, they rushed over.

"Beichen, are you alright?"

"We heard at home that the King of Jiangnan was killed by a woman with a terrifying background."

"Beichen, brother, what exactly happened?"

The family of three looked at Ye Beichen nervously.

Ye Beichen smiled and explained, "Uncle Zhou, the King of Jiangnan is indeed dead. The woman you're talking about is my Senior Sister."

"Your Senior Sister?"

The Zhou family trio all looked puzzled.

Ye Beichen had to explain that she was his Senior Sister from his time learning at Kunlun Mountain, but he didn't elaborate on her background or identity.

"I see."

Zhou Tianhao nodded.

Zhou Ruoyu worriedly said, "But the King of Jiangnan is dead. Beichen brother, will you be alright? I'm really worried."

"Don't worry, Ruoyu. I'm fine. No one can touch me." Ye Beichen smiled, holding her small hand and gently patting it to reassure her.

Only then did Zhou Ruoyu breathe a sigh of relief.

Ye Beichen continued to ask, "Uncle Zhou, do you know any more about my parents' and brother's deaths?"

"I only know that the two martial artists were people close to the King of Jiangnan. Beyond that, I couldn't find anything." Zhou Tianhao shook his head.

"It seems I'll have to find another way." Ye Beichen frowned slightly, not expecting his parents' deaths to be so complicated, even involving the King of Jiangnan.

"By the way, I remember during the time your parents died, the King of Jiangnan was frequently in contact with families in Jinling." Zhou Tianhao suddenly said.

"Jinling?" Ye Beichen's heart stirred.

Zhou Tianhao nodded, "Yes, Beichen, since your Senior Sister dared to kill the King of Jiangnan, she must not be an ordinary person. If you continue to investigate, you might really find out the cause of your parents' deaths."

"Jinling... alright, I understand." Ye Beichen noted it down, planning to investigate Jinling when he had the chance.

"Ring ring ring—!"

At this moment, Zhou Ruoyu's phone rang, "Hello, ah... you guys came to Jiangnan?"

"I... I have some family matters, maybe not."

"Ah? This... hmm, I'll think about it." Zhou Ruoyu said with a troubled expression, then hung up the phone.

Seeing this, Ye Beichen asked with concern, "Ruoyu, what's wrong?"

"My college classmates came to Jiangnan and said they want to invite me to dinner," Zhou Ruoyu explained. Given the current situation, she wasn't keen on attending a class reunion, and with Ye Beichen back, she wanted to spend more time with him.

Ye Beichen seemed to understand her difficulty and smiled, "What's the matter? At worst, I'll go with you."

"Ah, really?" Zhou Ruoyu immediately brightened up.

"Yes, aren't I your fiancé?" Ye Beichen laughed.

"That's great, I'll go change my clothes." Zhou Ruoyu's eyes lit up, and she quickly ran back to her room to change clothes and put on light makeup, looking radiant.

"Let's take my car."

Zhou Tianhao walked over with a smile, tossing the Audi A8 keys to Ye Beichen.

As he watched the two leave, Li Haixia's expression changed. She looked at Zhou Tianhao and said, "Honey, are you really planning to let them be together?"

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Tianhao sensed something was off with his wife.

From the moment Ye Beichen walked into the villa, Li Haixia hadn't been very warm, even somewhat cold.

Li Haixia said irritably, "We've watched Beichen grow up, but is he really suitable for Ruoyu?"

"He just came back and already killed someone, and that Senior Sister he mentioned, we don't even know her, yet she killed the King of Jiangnan."

"That's the King of Jiangnan! How can ordinary people like us afford to provoke him?"

"If this matter gets exposed, what will happen to our family? Will we be implicated?" Li Haixia was very worried, "Actually, it would be better if Beichen didn't come back. Ruoyu marrying Zhao Tai wouldn't be..."

"Shut up!"

Zhou Tianhao was furious, pointing at Li Haixia's nose, "Zhao Tai poisoned you, and you're still saying this?"

"If our daughter marries Zhao Tai, it would be jumping into a fire pit."

"And what about Ye Beichen?" Li Haixia glared at Zhou Tianhao, "Is he really the son of your sworn brother? Don't think I don't know, Ye Beifeng is indeed Old Seventh Ye's son, but Ye Beichen was just picked up back then."

"A stray you picked up, and you want to..."

"Slap—!"

Zhou Tianhao slapped Li Haixia across the face, "Shut up! Don't speak nonsense about this."

"Fine, you hit me, you hit me for a stray? Boo hoo hoo..." Li Haixia cried in grievance.

Zhou Tianhao nervously looked around, then rushed to the door, watching as Ye Beichen and Zhou Ruoyu drove the Audi A8 away, disappearing from view, before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you say one more word of nonsense, I won't just hit you, I'll kill you." Zhou Tianhao's eye twitched, his gaze cold as he looked at Li Haixia.

"This is the first and last time!"

"If you dare mention Beichen's background again, see if I won't kill you?"

"You..."

Li Haixia was stunned. She had been married to Zhou Tianhao for over twenty years, and he was willing to kill her for a stray?

...

Dragon Capital.

Deep within a luxurious estate.

A middle-aged man in a fitted outfit stood with an imposing presence.

He held a phone in one hand, his posture straight, his expression fluctuating, "Alright, I understand."

After hanging up, the imposing middle-aged man spoke, "Buhui failed!"

"Qinglong and Vermilion Bird joined forces but were repelled by the two Grandmasters beside Wang Ruyan."

"They are suspected to be disciples of the Old Devil of Shu!"

Opposite him sat a refined man in a Zhongshan suit, who was incredulous upon hearing this, "The Old Devil of Shu?"

"Wasn't he dead?"

"How is he still alive?"

"Brother Ling, I remember you personally led the team to hunt down the Old Devil of Shu into Kunlun Mountain..."

The imposing man was none other than the renowned War God Lingfeng of the Dragon Nation!

War God Lingfeng shook his head, "He escaped into that place, and the people inside..."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "I thought he wouldn't come out again."

"It seems Wang Ruyan has been there and stayed for several years." The middle-aged man's brow furrowed deeply, his expression grave, "In that case, Ye Beichen is likely a disciple of one of those ninety-nine people!"

"Not killing him five years ago, now it's going to be difficult."

"He's already a Grandmaster!"

The middle-aged man sighed.

He then looked at War God Lingfeng, "Help me one more time?"

"But this is your..." War God Lingfeng frowned.

A flash of struggle crossed the middle-aged man's face, and then he gritted his teeth, "If he doesn't die, it'll be me who dies. You know, if she finds out about this, she won't spare me."

"So, Ye Beichen must die!"

War God Lingfeng slowly stood up and walked towards the door, "I'll help you one last time!"

"After Ye Beichen is dead, let's not meet again."
