I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier-Chapter 966 - 965: Someone’s Causing Trouble

The servant pointed in the direction of the stairs and spoke respectfully.

Xuanyuan Haoyu nodded slightly and went straight up the stairs, standing in front of the master bedroom door, knocking on it.

"Creak~"

The door to the room opened.

A tall man stood in the center of the room, wearing a black suit, his face stern and cold, exuding an aura of a king. He was none other than Xuanyuan Shibo!

"Ye Chen, my father is already inside."

Xuanyuan Haoyu looked at Ye Chen, his eyes filled with intense killing intent. He wished he could tear Ye Chen to pieces on the spot, but he had to hide his intentions to avoid exposing himself!

"Ye Chen, my father wants you to go in!"

Xuanyuan Haoyu said coldly.

Xuanyuan Shibo wants you to go in? Xuanyuan Haoyu is lying; this guy is clearly trying to lead Ye Chen into a trap!

However, what exactly is his purpose? Xuanyuan Shibo's strength is far superior to Xuanyuan Haoyu's, so there's no need for him to leverage external forces.

"I understand."

Ye Chen nodded indifferently, then pushed the door and walked into the room.

What medicine is this Xuanyuan Shibo selling in his gourd?

The room was very simply arranged yet exuded a sense of nobility, with the walls adorned with various famous paintings, each a valuable, antique-level existence.

In the center of the room was a huge sofa, where a burly middle-aged man sat upright, and it was Xuanyuan Tianxiong!

Ye Chen stepped forward, glanced at him coolly, and said, "I suppose you've asked me here to discuss something."

Xuanyuan Tianxiong's gaze landed on Ye Chen. He observed Ye Chen, secretly thinking to himself that this young man was precisely as he had anticipated—young yet possessing a calm and composed demeanor, exuding an aura that he couldn't ignore, an aura that only those who have long been in high positions possess.

"I heard from Haoyu that you wish to marry Xuanyuan Yuxin, is that so?"

Xuanyuan Tianxiong's lips curled into a faint, cruel smile as he stared at Ye Chen, as if trying to bore a hole through him!

"What if I do? What if I don't?"

Ye Chen's tone was calm and indifferent.

"Very bold of you!"

Xuanyuan Tianxiong's eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with a sinister gleam, "Since you like her, I can make it happen for you, as long as you leave the Xuanyuan Family and never set foot here again. Otherwise, I'll make sure you have nowhere to bury yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile. This Xuanyuan Shibo was indeed quite interesting.

"Xuanyuan Shibo, that is probably not going to happen!"

Ye Chen replied with a faint smile.

"What do you mean?"

Xuanyuan Shibo glared, his eyes shooting out two sharp glints.

"Xuanyuan Shibo, my marriage is not something you can dictate!"

A smirk played at the corners of Ye Chen's mouth, "Besides, Xuanyuan Yuxin is not an object; she is my fiancée. Do you think I would follow your orders?"

Just as Ye Chen finished speaking, an arrogant and domineering voice resounded throughout the entire valley.

"Ye Chen, such audacity! With your meager strength, do you think you're worthy of marrying Xuanyuan Yuxin?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

A figure filled with anger suddenly appeared beside Ye Chen, none other than Murong Shihao of the Murong Family!

Ye Chen turned to look and saw Murong Shihao's arm wrapped in bandages, clearly having been beaten by Xuanyuan Shihao in a fight earlier.

"What?"

Ye Chen glanced at him indifferently and said flatly.

"You... you despicable servant, how dare you speak to me like that!"

Murong Shihao's face turned extremely unpleasant, his heart burning with fierce flames, a boundless fury surging to his head, nearly overwhelming him!

"If I'm a servant, then what about you? You, the patriarch of the Murong family, merely rely on your status to bully the weak. What right do you have to lecture me?"

Ye Chen mocked.

"Haha, I bully the weak, but I am the patriarch of a noble family, and I am an Innate Fifth Layer cultivator!"

Murong Shihao laughed wildly.

"Innate Fifth Layer?"

Ye Chen sneered, saying, "That's just an Innate Fifth Layer; what's so remarkable about that? Aren't you just a dog?"

"Ye Chen, you little bastard!"

Murong Shihao, enraged, his face livid, threw a punch, generating gusts of wind as it headed straight for Ye Chen!

Ye Chen neither dodged nor avoided, meeting his attack with a punch of his own!

"Boom!"

Their punches collided, creating deafening sonic booms in the air, with invisible waves spreading in all directions.

Ye Chen's body remained unmovable, standing his ground, while Murong Shihao staggered back three steps.

"Not bad, I admit, you're strong!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly, continuing, "However, I can tell you, in this world, aside from Emperor Wu, I'm the only one who can defeat you, so you have no advantage in martial arts, because I'm an Innate Realm cultivator!"

"Innate Realm!"

Ye Chen calmly uttered these four words, instantly causing Murong Shihao's pupils to contract sharply.

Although he had long heard that Xuanyuan Shibo had the cultivation of Emperor Wu, he never expected that Xuanyuan Shibo's cultivation had actually reached the level of Emperor Wu!

"Xuanyuan Shibo, you should understand what I mean!"

"Do you think your strength surpasses mine by much? If we were both cultivating the 'Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique,' perhaps I would fear you to some extent since you've broken through to Emperor Wu's level, but the gap between us is not that large."

"So, you'd better obediently hand over your daughter!"

Ye Chen's voice brimmed with confidence, as if he didn't take Murong Shibo seriously at all.

Xuanyuan Shibo glared coldly at him, secretly shocked. Ye Chen was right; if they were both cultivating the 'Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique,' their strengths would indeed be evenly matched, and if it came to a fight, he might not necessarily win.

But...

Xuanyuan Shihao raised his eyebrows, "Ye Chen, this matter isn't up to you to decide!"

"Haha, then feel free to try!"

Ye Chen replied indifferently.

"Our wager is still in effect; you must fulfill it within, at most, ten years, no, within three years!"

Xuanyuan Shibo snorted coldly.

"No problem!"

Ye Chen readily agreed.

"Hmph!"

Murong Shihao snorted coldly, glaring at Ye Chen, "I hope three years from now, I'll personally kill you!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

He turned, ready to leave!

However, at that moment, a cold voice rang out, "Wait!"

Ye Chen turned around to see Xuanyuan Yuxin appearing beside Xuanyuan Shibo. She gazed at Ye Chen, her eyes filled with venomous resentment, and said, "Ye Chen, get lost. You're not worthy to be my husband!"

"Get lost?"
