Chapter 246: Chapter 245 [Why Can’t a Woman Chase a Man?]Sitting in the sports car, which belonged to Bao Tianglong, Ye Tianchen left in it instead of a car from his own family because Uncle Wang had instructed another servant of the Luo family to drive it back. The reason was that Bao Tianglong’s car was much faster, and Ye Tianchen also wanted to leave the Luo family as soon as possible, not wanting to upset his mother Luo Yan. "Tianchen, what did that girl say her name was?" Luo Yan couldn’t help but recall the beautiful Zhantai Weixue and asked. "I don’t know, she didn’t tell me!" Ye Tianchen examined the half piece of blood-stained jade in his hand, quietly infusing it with Superpower, trying to figure out exactly what was so special and magical about this bloodied shard. If it were really as his grandmother had said, that this half piece of blood-stained jade had fallen from the sky during the First Emperor of Qin’s unification of the six kingdoms, wiping out Country Qi and allowing the First Emperor of Qin to establish an Immortal legacy, then this bloodied shard of jade must possess some incredible mysteries or perhaps great destructive power. However, even after looking at it for a good ten minutes, Ye Tianchen couldn’t discern anything unusual; even using his Superpower Perception to probe, he still got no reaction. It really seemed just like an ordinary piece of jade—apart from an additional streak of blood. "Didn’t that girl report her own name when she was at the door asking the guard to announce her? I didn’t hear it clearly, think about it!" Luo Yan seemed very eager to know the name of the beautiful girl and continued asking. Ye Tianchen paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered. This whimsically arrogant beauty did seem to mention her own name, but at that time, he hadn’t paid attention as he was observing the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box. "It appears she did mention it. It’s a rather unusual surname, what was it... Zhantai, right, Zhantai Weixue..." Ye Tianchen suddenly recalled, wondering why he had murmured in his heart when he heard the name Zhantai Weixue, questioning why women always chose names with the character for ’snow’ in them? "Zhantai Weixue..." Luo Yan repeated to herself as if she had thought of something. "Mom, don’t tell me you know this Zhantai Weixue. You didn’t seem to have any conversation with her just now!" Ye Tianchen said to his mother Luo Yan. Luo Yan shook her head and said, "I don’t know this young lady named Zhantai Weixue, but I do know a little about the Zhantai family. Indeed, the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box belongs to the Zhantai family. It seems they knew of grandma’s death and sent the girl named Zhantai Weixue to retrieve the box—that’s good and avoids the people in the Luo family competing for it." "The Zhantai family? I’ve never heard of such a family, and that surname is really strange, isn’t it?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask. "Actually, I don’t know much about this family either. I only heard grandfather mention it when I was young. The Zhantai family is a Hidden Family that has never revealed itself, seemingly cloistered all around Kunlun Mountain—a very mysterious family. The Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box was borrowed from the Zhantai family by grandpa twenty years ago. Now that grandma has passed away, they came to reclaim the box straight away. Very few people in modern society know about the Zhantai family," Luo Yan said, finding it quite strange as well. Not just Ye Tianchen was curious; Luo Yan herself was puzzled when she spoke, as was Bao Tianglong, who knitted his brow in thought.

As one might imagine, people in modern society, preoccupied with material and monetary pursuits, spend their lives toiling away for the basic necessities. Few are aware of Superpower Users or the experts of Ancient Martial Sects. Understanding the Tao of Eternal Life is almost a lost concept, and the idea that a family would stay hidden away from the world, dwelling in the mountains, is hard to grasp—could they all be Wild Men? It’s quite unimaginable. "Could it be that this family is all Wild Men? Living in the mountains and surviving on wild vegetables?" Bao Tianglong couldn’t help but ask. "That’s unlikely. It’s just that the family stays hidden and is seldom known. Look at Zhantai Weixue, dressed so fashionably and not at all antiquated, you can tell. I’m just curious about what kind of family it is, to have something like the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box and that Zhantai Weixue’s use of Yin Rou Internal Force is very powerful!" Ye Tianchen shook his head and said. "Tianchen, no matter what you do, Mom only hopes that you’ll be safe. The Zhantai family is mysterious, and I don’t know whether their relationship with the Luo family is good or bad—these things are uncertain. You should refrain from provoking them in the future!" Luo Yan said after a pause. "I know, Mom. Don’t worry, I still have to make money to support you and Dad!" Ye Tianchen said with a chuckle. Luo Yan was no fool, and was quite smart. By now, she had realized that her son had undergone a transformation, at least in terms of his own strength which had become incredibly powerful, beyond what she could imagine. Her son used to be a troublemaker, always getting into mischief, but now he had grown up, become more sensible. Yet he still found himself embroiled in many situations. Some things just can’t be avoided, she thought. She didn’t want to restrain her son; she just wanted him to be safe and sound. Around six in the evening, Bao Tianglong drove Ye Tianchen and Luo Yan back home. After Ye Tianchen gave Wuxue’s number to Bao Tianglong, he instructed him to go find Wuxue. Currently, Wuxue, the number one assassin of Capital City, was the figurehead responsible for building Ye Tianchen’s forces. So far, Ye Tianchen’s subordinates included Wuxue, Hu Long, Lin Duan, and Bao Tianglong, four top-notch experts. He just didn’t know how well Wuxue’s recruitment of other experts was going. As Ye Tianchen said, it’s not about the quantity of soldiers, but the quality. He wasn’t interested in anybody who wasn’t top-tier, which was also in line with his personality. Ye Tianchen and his mother Luo Yan walked into the villa, only to find, in addition to his sister Ye Qianwen, a very beautiful woman, Qi Ruxue, in the living room. To his surprise, Qi Ruxue was there, chatting happily with Ye Qianwen. When Qi Ruxue saw Ye Tianchen and Luo Yan enter the hall, she smiled politely and greeted Luo Yan, "Auntie, you’re back?" "Oh, Ruxue, you’re here! Why didn’t you give us a heads-up? I would have gone to buy groceries!" Luo Yan said with a smile. "No need, Mom, Sister Ruxue made us a beef stew tonight that smells so good, I couldn’t help but sneak a few pieces!" Ye Qianwen said impishly. "Really? Ruxue, I feel so embarrassed. You just arrived and we put you to work cooking. Tianchen, you... Huh? Where did Tianchen go?" Luo Yan of course knew that Qi Ruxue’s visit was to see her son Ye Tianchen. Considering such a beautiful girl coming to see him, the least he could do was greet her, especially since Qi Ruxue nearly got engaged to Qin Heng. Ye Tianchen claimed it had nothing to do with him, yet he ended up carrying a coffin to the Qin family’s home, scaring Qin Heng to death and infuriating Qin Yi. This had already become a hot topic in Capital City. To claim Ye Tianchen felt nothing for Qi Ruxue would be unbelievable to anyone, even if you killed them. "Where did your brother go?" Luo Yan turned around to find no sign of her son who had been right behind her just a moment ago. She couldn’t help but look at her daughter Ye Qianwen and ask. "Mom, don’t you know my brother? He’s a total foodie, he’s certainly dashed into the kitchen by now!" Ye Qianwen responded with an eye-roll towards her mother. By this time, Ye Tianchen in the kitchen wasn’t thinking too much about it; he had smelled the scent of beef the moment he entered and had guessed someone was cooking. But he had immediately ruled out the possibility of his sister, knowing that apart from his mother Luo Yan’s excellent cooking skills, Ye Qianwen couldn’t cook. So it must have been a guest who had made the food. When he saw Qi Ruxue, he knew something delicious was awaiting him in the kitchen. As for Qi Ruxue, well, in Ye Tianchen’s heart, she was at most a good friend. The two of them were the sort who argued to get acquainted. Qi Ruxue had stayed at the Ye family’s house for quite some time, and they had bickered just about as long. Both had gotten used to it. The reason Ye Tianchen had made such a scene at the Qin family’s home during her supposed betrothal to Qin Heng was firstly because, regardless of anything else, Qi Ruxue was a decent person, kind at heart and well worth befriending. Secondly, Qin Heng had it coming; the Qin family had once nearly sent an assassin to kill his father, Ye Hong, so some payback was warranted. It was undeniable, Qi Ruxue’s cooking was exquisite, which is why Luo Yan, his mother, liked her a lot and hoped Qi Ruxue would become her daughter-in-law. If there was one way to describe Qi Ruxue perfectly, it would be: flawless in the living room, masterful in the kitchen! In this day and age, finding a girl like that was truly not easy. Qi Ruxue was very attractive, with a good figure, ample bosom, and shapely behind. Any typical man would drool over her. In theory, there wasn’t a man who wouldn’t like her, but somehow Ye Tianchen just didn’t feel much for her. Perhaps that’s what fate is all about. However, Qi Ruxue’s attitude towards Ye Tianchen had changed quite a bit. Initially, she didn’t think much of him, a guy with a hoodlum-like personality, clueless in romance, with no EQ, and not the slightest bit of gentleness towards women. Now, she couldn’t explain why, but ever since she left the Ye family, the image of Ye Tianchen, this bad boy who resembled both a hoodlum and the Death God, kept appearing in her mind. Especially at the moment of her near-engagement to Qin Heng, she found herself wondering, how nice it would have been if the man she was marrying was Ye Tianchen. At first, such thoughts startled Qi Ruxue, and she didn’t know when Ye Tianchen had started to occupy a place in her heart. But eventually, she began to realize that she was actually falling for him – for this man with a thuggish, Death God-like personality. Qi Ruxue, who had received a higher education abroad, wasn’t traditional in her approach to love. If she was in love, she believed in pursuing her happiness. A woman chasing a man – what’s wrong with that? And so, she came! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets.
