Chapter 297: He Can Take It (Four Updates)
Ye Xingkong had only one son, and seeing him alive, he was thrilled beyond words. He hurried over and helped Ye Xingchen up.
"Good to have you back, good to have you back!" He patted Ye Xingchen's shoulder vigorously.
The two had too much to talk about.
"Tonight, we'll have a grand feast, I want to have a good drink with my son!" Ye Xingkong declared heartily.
"Yes!"
The nearby servants bowed and all went to prepare dinner.
As soon as he entered the hall, Ye Xingchen began looking around.
"Eh? Where's Wenjun?" Ye Xingchen asked, puzzled.
As soon as he spoke,
On the second floor, Wenjun, clad in fresh, bright clothes, slowly walked down. Seeing Ye Xingchen, she could not help but exclaim with a surprised look, "Brother?"
"Wenjun!"
Wenjun quickened her pace.
Ever since that night, Ye Xingchen had left, and there had been no news of him, and now... Ye Xingchen had finally returned. How could she not be joyful?
"Are you alright now?" Ye Wenjun asked delightedly.
Ye Xingchen nodded:
"I'm fine now... By the way, where is my brother-in-law?"
Upon the mention of Fang Yu, everyone was stunned.
Ye Xingkong gradually calmed down and answered, "He's in the backyard dismantling the house."
"Dismantling... the house?"
Boom—
From the garden, a sound of explosions was heard.
Ye Xingchen frowned slightly, not quite understanding what was happening.
Ye Xingkong pulled his son to a sofa and said, "Never mind him for now, where have you been all these years?"
Hearing this question, Ye Xingchen fell into painful memories.
Thus, he recounted his agonizing experiences in seeking Martial Arts over the years.
Ye Xingkong and Wenjun were utterly dumbfounded and found it incredible.
When Ye Xingchen mentioned that Lu Tianhao had disfigured him with poison, Ye Xingkong was even more horrified, looking at his normal face and said, "Since you were disfigured, how are you alright now?"
"I have Fang Yu to thank for that," Ye Xingchen sincerely said.
"Thank Fang Yu?"
"Yes, isn't Fang Yu a divine doctor? I later found out he is Jiangzhou Hua Hospital's divine doctor, skilled in Taiyi Divine Needle, he once used Taixuan Finger Technique to curb the epidemic in Jiangzhou! He's a well-known Divine Doctor in the Xinglin Realm!"
Ye Xingchen showed a look of admiration, clearly a fan.
Ye Xingkong and Wenjun both knew him well, knowing how proud and haughty Ye Xingchen used to be, hardly looking up to anyone among the younger generation. The fact that someone could earn such praise from him was truly one in ten thousand!
"He gave me some miraculous herbs, which after some treatment... completely healed the injuries on my face."
Saying this, Ye Xingchen couldn't help but recall that night with the full moon, when Fang Yu recognized the poison in him with just one look.
"Eh? Dad, Wenjun, don't look at me like that... Seriously, Fang Yu is the best doctor I've ever seen!"
"..."
"If not for him, I would have died several times!"
The two were stunned by Ye Xingchen's words.
"Where is he? Why isn't he back yet?" Ye Xingchen asked.
Ye Xingkong thought carefully, his words were not without merit.
Both officially and personally, this son-in-law had made outstanding contributions to the Ye Family. He single-handedly annihilated the Jin Family's Deadpool, saving the Ye Family – a debt of gratitude that was enough for a lifetime.
"Not sure. He's practicing swordsmanship in the backyard. It's best not to disturb him," Ye Xingkong said.
"Practicing swordsmanship?"
Ye Xingchen again showed a look of admiration, "Not only is he a master of medical skills, but he is also a martial arts master!"
Ye Xingkong concurred:
"More than just a martial arts master... You probably don't know, but during the battle at the Forbidden City, he killed four Great Elders of the Lu Family's Law Enforcement Hall!"
At that statement.
Ye Xingchen's mind went blank.
He remembered advising him not to go, yet he still went... and even killed four Great Elders?
This...
How is this possible?!
Just as Ye Xingchen's face was stricken with shock, Fang Yu's voice came—
"Big brother-in-law?"
Everyone looked towards the voice.
They saw Fang Yu returning, all dirty and looking as if he had rolled in the mud.
Ye Wenjun and Ye Xingkong both frowned.
They thought to themselves, did this guy just take a mud bath in the backyard pond...
He swaggered in just like that.
The immaculately clean floor was instantly marked with one black footprint after another.
Everyone stared dumbfounded.
"Uh..." Ye Xingchen was stunned for a moment, finding it difficult to connect the Fang Yu before him with that night.
"Big brother-in-law, you've recovered quite well."
Fang Yu walked up to him, slung his arm over Ye Xingchen's shoulder, and said, "You indeed look impressive, though not as much as me..."
"..."
"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Fang Yu looked down and suddenly realized, "I accidentally fell while practicing sword... Let me take a bath."
Saying so, he climbed upstairs to bathe.
Shortly after.
Fang Yu finished bathing and changed into clean clothes.
Ye Wenjun glanced up and saw the youthful vigor of Fang Yu, which left him somewhat stunned...
His skin was whiter.
His hands were whiter too.
What's going on?
Fang Yu approached everyone, sat down, and looked at Ye Xingchen, "Ye Xingchen, you're not here to fight over the family property, are you?"
"..."
"..."
The Ye family members were stunned by his remark.
Ye Xingchen was also extremely embarrassed. Would a martial artist of his level care about such worldly possessions?
"Fang Yu, please don't misunderstand. I won't take a penny; it's all yours..." Ye Xingchen sincerely said.
Hearing this, Ye Xingkong was startled and just about to speak, but Ye Xingchen quickly continued, "These years have made me realize, the path of martial arts is filled with hardships, worldly riches are just external possessions..."
Fang Yu patted his shoulder, saying, "You've finally seen through it..." then looked up at Ye Xingkong, continuing, "Father-in-law, did you hear that? Even your powerful son doesn't compete with me for the family property!"
"..." Ye Xingkong and Ye Wenjun were speechless for a while.
Sometimes this guy can be quite annoying when he acts shamelessly.
Just then—
Ye Xingchen suddenly stood up.
He respectfully walked over to Fang Yu.
The Ye family members looked at him curiously, unsure of what he was about to do.
Thump!
Suddenly, Ye Xingchen knelt down.
"Xingchen, what are you doing?" Ye Xingkong exclaimed in shock, it's unreasonable for peers to kneel to one another!
Even Fang Yu was taken aback.
Suddenly kneeling, who could bear it!
"Dad, let me finish my words."
Ye Xingchen ignored everyone else's thoughts, his expression serious, and sincerely said, "Firstly, Fang Yu saved my life, this is a life-redeeming grace, I should rightfully kneel."
Bang!
His forehead touched the ground! The sound resonated throughout the entire hall.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xingkong didn't say much more. His son was right, this was indeed a life-redeeming grace, Ye Xingchen's kneeling was justified, even if it was the entire Ye family kneeling, Fang Yu deserved it!
