Super Combat Soldier-Chapter 1706 - 1705: Going to Zhongnan Mountain with Liu Rumei?

Faced with his parents’ firm attitude, Ye Tianchen was genuinely relieved and really happy because all along, he was a bit worried, thinking his parents were too kind, not the assertive type. Over the years, fortunately, with Liu Rumei’s care, the Ye family became the most powerful family in China, their status unshakable. Ye Tianchen truly admired Liu Rumei as a woman!

Regarding the grievances with the Xiao family, Wang family, and Zhou family, Ye Tianchen himself chose not to engage in slaughter, not to bathe in blood. If he truly wanted to do that, with his current cultivation realm, it would just be a matter of waving his sleeves, eliminating these three families entirely, taking less than a second to accomplish!

However, Ye Tianchen did not choose to do this. He was not a murderous person nor an arrogant one. If he did that, how would he be any different from those who bully the weak and parade their power? Now, as an incredibly strong martial artist, truly killing some mundane mortals without resistance would disgrace his identity, not to mention it wasn’t his character!

Thus, he chose this approach, letting these three families know that no matter when or where, the Ye family was China’s most powerful family, regardless of whether he was present or not, no one could confront the Ye family because they simply didn’t have the strength to oppose him, regardless of how strong they were. In front of Ye Tianchen, they were still weak. This was Ye Tianchen’s courage, this was his domineering aura!

The leaders of the Xiao family, Wang family, and Zhou family all left, each carrying anger and frustration. Initially, they believed if they came together to demand justice, under strong pressure, Ye Hong and Luo Yan would hand Ye Tianchen over to them. While being able to kill Ye Tianchen, they could also demand some compensation from the Ye family. They, of course, would make exorbitant demands, gradually weakening the Ye family’s power to eventually annihilate them. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

But no one expected that after all these years, the mild-mannered couple Ye Hong and Luo Yan, who had been polite to competitors on various levels, would become so assertive and show significant temper, standing firm against the threats from the three families. Despite any family or power being intimidated, they showed unprecedented firmness, refusing to back down!

"Son, are you alright?" Luo Yan asked her son Ye Tianchen tenderly.

"I’m fine, mom, don’t worry, your son is safe!" Ye Tianchen responded with a smile.

"Son, are you really going to those three families tonight? It’s too dangerous!" Luo Yan expressed her worry.

"Yes, I must go. Our Ye family can’t retreat any further. Over the years, Rumei has worked tirelessly for our Ye family to maintain this status. My mother and I have always been physically weak and unable to help. Now these three families have forced us to this extent. If we don’t fight back, we’ll really be finished. I can’t become the disgrace of the Ye family, nor can I watch my son sacrifice himself needlessly!" Ye Hong spoke earnestly.

"Dad is right, so I will definitely go tonight!" Ye Tianchen nodded with a smile.

"But... son, your Thirteen Heavenly Kings team is no longer with you, this..." Luo Yan voiced concern.

"It’s fine, don’t worry. I have ways; trust me!" Ye Tianchen shook his head reassuringly.

After comforting his parents, Ye Tianchen didn’t dwell on tonight’s trip to the Xiao, Wang, and Zhou families. With his current cultivation realm, even dragon pits and tiger dens are insignificant, how could he fear the secular world’s forces, it’s simply laughable!

At this moment, Ye Tianchen arrived at a villa occupied by a single person, where Liu Rumei resided. Liu Rumei had been sent back to the Ye family by a Heavenly Gang level warlord. Ye Tianchen wanted to ask some questions and see how Liu Rumei was doing.

Just now, Ye Hong and Luo Yan discussed some matters regarding Liu Rumei, and Ye Tianchen understood that in these nearly ten years, Liu Rumei truly did too much for the Ye family, specifically for him, Ye Tianchen. Not only elevated the Sea King Group to become China’s biggest enterprise, but also blocked many forces targeting the Ye family in these years. Today’s kidnapping involved no shortage of malicious forces, though Ye Tianchen didn’t pursue the origins of those foreign mercenaries. He had already scanned their Sea of Consciousness with his powerful Divine Thought, knowing they were hired by the Xiao family because one of Xiao family’s corporate groups contested the biggest project against Sea King Group. With the Xiao family involved this time, Ye Tianchen decided to settle scores together, not alone.

Ye Tianchen entered Liu Rumei’s villa, with Liu Rumei already awake. When Ye Tianchen entered, she was in the living room holding a cup of coffee, staring out the window. Seeing Ye Tianchen coming in, Liu Rumei snapped out of her daze and smiled slightly, saying, "You’re here?"

"Mm, how are you feeling, better now?" Ye Tianchen asked with concern.

"It’s nothing serious, did you rescue me?" Liu Rumei naturally learned from the mouths of several Heavenly Gang level warlords that Ye Tianchen had saved her!

"By coincidence, I was just going to see you!" Ye Tianchen nodded slightly.

Sitting on a sofa, Liu Rumei glanced at Ye Tianchen and asked, "Would you like something to drink?"

"I’ll get it myself!" Ye Tianchen turned around, walked to the fridge, opened it, and took out a bottle of iced red tea.

Liu Rumei watched Ye Tianchen approach, shifted her position slightly, and gave Ye Tianchen more space. Sipping her coffee, she said, "Did you need something at the Sea King Group?"

"Mm, I wanted to ask a few things!" Ye Tianchen nodded in agreement.

"What do you want to ask?" Liu Rumei wondered what Ye Tianchen wanted to inquire about, coming personally to the Sea King Group.

"Is Yong Chun Tai still alive? I want to meet her!" Ye Tianchen looked at Liu Rumei and asked.

Ye Tianchen asked for a reason. He recalled that when he left the Mortal World, Yong Chun Tai was already over seventy years old. Now, ten years later, for secular mortals, living up to eighty is indeed a long lifespan. Thus, Ye Tianchen was uncertain if Yong Chun Tai was still alive!

"She’s still alive, but she hasn’t worked for the Liu family for a long time; I don’t know where she is!" Liu Rumei replied.

"Oh, it’s difficult to find Yong Chun Tai then!" Ye Tianchen nodded in agreement.

"Why are you looking for Yong Chun Tai?" Liu Rumei asked curiously.

"I wanted to consult Yong Chun Tai about the Ancient Martial Sect; seems like I’m unable to find her now!" Ye Tianchen frowned.

When Ye Tianchen heard from the knife-bearing man that there’s another "Hidden World" on Earth’s secular world, he thought about it. To find the location of this "Hidden World," he had to start with people from some Ancient Martial Sects in Earth’s secular world, as they had the highest chance of contacting the "Hidden World." Ordinary city folk certainly do not have such an opportunity, so Ye Tianchen wanted to find Liu Rumei. Yong Chun Tai was once Liu Rumei’s close protector; if she was no longer in the city, only Liu Rumei might know where she was. However, Ye Tianchen did not expect Liu Rumei wasn’t aware of Yong Chun Tai’s whereabouts!

"Five years ago, Yong Chun Tai left the Liu family; she was indeed getting on in years. I didn’t have the heart for her to continue running errands for the Liu family, so allowed her to enjoy her retirement. But Yong Chun Tai said she wasn’t accustomed to city life, preferred quiet, wanted to retire... Oh, Yong Chun Tai mentioned when she departed that if I wished to find her, to go to Zhongnan Mountain!" Liu Rumei suddenly remembered, hurrying to say.

"Zhongnan Mountain?" Ye Tianchen asked with a frown.

"Yes, Zhongnan Mountain!" Liu Rumei affirmed with a nod.

Zhongnan Mountain, a mythical place in China’s secular world, is rumored to be for seeking immortal paths. Even nowadays, many people visit Zhongnan Mountain to worship, with some going there to retire, making it truly a magical place!

"Mm, looks like I’ll need to take a trip to Zhongnan Mountain!" Ye Tianchen mused, smiling.

"I’ll go with you!" Liu Rumei instinctively said.

"Mm?" Ye Tianchen hesitated, looking at Liu Rumei.

"I’m going to see Yong Chun Tai; after all, she watched me grow up and made significant contributions to the Liu family. I’ve been too busy these years, lacked time to visit her; it’s not about pestering you!" Liu Rumei replied, giving Ye Tianchen a sidelong glance.

Ye Tianchen smiled, shaking his head. He realized Liu Rumei was quite adorable, not that cold, aloof personality. Perhaps Liu Rumei had also endured much over these years, being the esteemed daughter of the Liu family and Capital City’s number one beauty, she certainly had her own pressures!

"Alright, take some rest, and I’ll notify you when we’re leaving. We’ll go to Zhongnan Mountain together!" Ye Tianchen smiled at Liu Rumei.(To be continued.
