Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Recovery from Injuries, Heart of the Strong

Ye Chen was engulfed in the panic of being unable to contact Luo Qingyi, suddenly feeling a softness behind him, instantly snapping back to reality.

His back was leaning against Hua Qianxue.

Hua Qianxue furrowed her brow, forcibly speaking gently, "Ye Chen, take the medicine."

She then took another pill and placed it into Ye Chen's mouth.

After seeing Ye Chen swallow the pill, Hua Qianxue finally breathed a sigh of relief, casually tossed Ye Chen to the ground, snorted, and walked away.

Ye Chen grimaced in pain!

Hua Qianxue sat afar, looking at Ye Chen's appearance, and laughed.

All night long.

Ye Chen was trying to sense the Sword Tomb, to call out to Luo Qingyi, but with no result.

Inside his body, there was always a warm current of unknown origin, continuously emerging, healing his wounds.

Unknowingly, a light of dawn appeared on the distant horizon.

Ye Chen finally could move on his own, stood up with effort, and walked to Hua Qianxue's front not far away.

He saw very clearly that this woman seemed to exude a radiant aura of pride.

"Miss, where is your teacher? I wish to thank him in person."

"How do you intend to thank him?" Hua Qianxue looked at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen said, "The grace of saving a life, I shall repay with my life."

At that moment, a voice came from behind Ye Chen.

"I saved you, never thinking of having you repay with your life."

Ye Chen turned around to see an old man with a head full of white hair, a kind and pleasant face, walking towards him.

The olds man's gaze at Ye Chen was filled with intense shock.

Yesterday, he spent quite a considerable cost to heal Ye Chen's injuries, fully aware of how dire Ye Chen's situation was.

Yet in just one night, Ye Chen could stand up... This greatly exceeded the old man's expectations.

"Such a constitution is precisely prepared for my path!" the old man thought to himself, liking Ye Chen more and more!

Following behind the old man was Ye Chen's third uncle, Ye Zhenming.

"Third Uncle... your hand..."

Ye Chen exclaimed excitedly, yesterday, his third uncle's hand was cleaved off by Huang Tianxiong, yet now, Ye Zhenming's hand appeared perfectly attached.

Ye Zhenming immediately said, "Chen'Er, yesterday it was this elder who saved you, and as for my hand, it was this young lady who used spirit medicine to help reattach it."

Ye Chen urgently bowed with hands clasped towards the old man, "Ye Chen, deeply thanks the elder's life-saving grace."

The old man smiled faintly and said, "My surname is Yang, full name Yang Tianji, just call me Elder Yang."

After Ye Chen respectfully called Elder Yang, he turned to Hua Qianxue and said, "Thank you, Miss, for reconnecting my third uncle's arm."

Hua Qianxue snorted, raised her head, her slender snowy neck like a proud white swan, and said indifferently, "I am Hua Qianxue, don't bother with thanks, purely because you and your uncle appear pitiable."

Ye Chen: "..."

Moments later, Yang Tianji and Hua Qianxue moved aside, leaving space for Ye Chen with his third uncle, Ye Zhenming.

"Third Uncle, what exactly happened?" Ye Chen couldn't wait to know what occurred after he lost consciousness.

Ye Zhenming helped Ye Chen sit on a smooth rock, patting Ye Chen's shoulder, revealing relief and endless emotion, said, "Chen'Er, your third uncle is incapable; the matter of revenge is all your accomplishment..."

"Third Uncle..." Ye Chen wanted to stand, but Ye Zhenming held him down again.

Ye Zhenming said, "Chen'Er, first listen to me.

Elder Yang is a Spirit Master, and a very powerful one.

After helping you yesterday, he took me into the City Lord's Mansion.

Zhang Feng, that old fox, in front of Elder Yang, dared not have any ill thoughts. Moreover, Elder Yang hadn't uttered a word, yet Zhang Feng took people to raid the Huang Family.

The remaining members of the Huang Family, the ones who attacked our Ye Family, were all executed, those who did not participate in slaughtering our Ye Clan members were all detained, with various crimes stacked upon them, they'll never have the chance to rise again.

Then, Elder Yang together with me went to our Ye Family's treasure vault, I didn't even see how Elder Yang acted, and the restrictions on our Ye Family's vault were broken.

These silver notes, keep them, and this letter as well."

Ye Zhenming took out a stack of silver notes and an envelope from his chest, the envelope had 'For Chen'Er Personally' written on it.

Ye Chen was somewhat bewildered.

Ye Zhenming said, "Chen'Er, Elder Yang is someone special, and your third uncle can see that. He wants to take you to Unparalleled County, this opportunity is exceedingly rare, you must not miss it.

Your crisis hasn't been resolved; surely there'll be people wanting to kill you for the chance to become an Inner Sect Disciple of Celestial Sword Sect, follow Elder Yang; he will certainly keep you safe."

Ye Chen's feelings were quite complex, yet he still stored the silver notes and letter into his chest.

"Third Uncle, what about you?"

Ye Zhenming displayed a bitter smile and said, "Ye Family now only has you and me left, you must head to Unparalleled County, and I will stay here, guarding our clan members."

Ye Chen nodded, silent without speaking.

As Master of the Sword Tomb, would it conflict if he learned from Yang Tianji?

Just as Ye Chen was indecisive.

In his mind, Luo Qingyi's transmission finally echoed.

"You can go with him; this Yang Tianji's skills in such a small place should be top-tier, and besides, his methods are quite unique, you can go learn—it'll greatly benefit you!"

"Elder Qingyi!"

Ye Chen was thrilled, immediately using his mind to exclaim.

"Hmph, ignored you for one night, scared now?"

Ye Chen: "..."

After a brief conversation with Luo Qingyi, Ye Chen felt as if relieved of some burden.

The Sword Tomb, Luo Qingyi, were the foundations enabling him to endure these days and succeed in his revenge!

Not sensing the Sword Tomb for a night and unable to contact, his heart felt empty, devoid even of the joy following revenge.

At this moment.

Yang Tianji and Hua Qianxue also approached.

Yang Tianji straightforwardly said, "Ye Chen, I have many affairs to attend to, hence no time to explain much; I only want to ask you, do you wish to join the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy?"

"Elder Yang is from the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy?" Ye Chen was genuinely surprised.

Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, like Celestial Sword Sect, is one of Unparalleled County's paramount powers.

Celestial Sword Sect is completely private, whereas Cangxing Martial Arts Academy is somewhat affiliated with the Imperial system.

Yang Tianji nodded and said, "Indeed, I'm from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy; however, if you wish to join Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, you must pass the examination—this is the rule of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, no one can break it, not even me.

If you've decided, go to Unparalleled County together with Qianxue, there's half a month before the examination at Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, departing now, you'll make it in time."

"Joining Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, can I kill Celestial Sword Sect's Gu Yue?" Ye Chen asked.

Yang Tianji replied, "Yes, our Cangxing Martial Arts Academy often clashes with Celestial Sword Sect, deaths are commonplace."

Hua Qianxue snorted, "Ye Chen, don't expect Teacher to help you, if Teacher acts, it won't be the same."

Ye Chen immediately bowed respectfully to Yang Tianji, saying, "Elder Yang, I wish to participate in Cangxing Martial Arts Academy's examination, as for killing Gu Yue, I'll do it myself, without borrowing anyone's strength!"

Yang Tianji nodded with a smile and said, "Good, I have matters to attend to, I shall leave first. Hope that upon my return to Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, you've already become a member of it."

Having instructed these few words, Yang Tianji left alone.

Hua Qianxue looked at Ye Chen and coldly said, "Any unresolved matters, handle them quickly; I don't have much time to wait for you."

"Mm." Ye Chen responded, then walked to the Ye Family ancestral cemetery not far away, kneeling.

"Father, clan members, I'm going to Unparalleled County, I will quickly grow strong, storm Celestial Sword Sect, bring Gu Yue's head back to honor you."

Ye Chen solemnly said.

Now, the Huang Family was dealt with; he saw greater hopes, even though the revenge path has Gu Yue as an even taller mountain, his eyes harbored more besides revenge.

He began to yearn for strength!

Strength is the foundation for everything.

Because of strength, with a single word, Gu Yue annihilated the Ye Family.

Because of strength, without uttering a word, Zhang Feng led to raid the Huang Family.

Because of strength, the Nine Heavens Sword God cleaved myriad laws with one sword, free in the world, even transforming into ten thousand and eight sword qi, sealing the Supreme Celestial Demon!

Ye Chen knelt before the tomb until noon.

Hua Qianxue finally couldn't hold back, walked over, frowning and said, "If you don't leave, I won't wait for you, go to Unparalleled County on your own."

Ye Chen stood up, just about to speak.

Luo Qingyi also transmitted voice.

"Such a proud little girl should receive a beating, Ye Chen, give her a good thrashing, later she'll certainly obey your every word, serving you as a horse for riding!"
