Ying Yan Jia is surprised what she just witnessed, Lei Chen used Qi and overthrew Chang Wei. Most people know that Lei Chen's meridians and Dantian have been eroded and no fragments remain to repair.
Repairing a broken Dantian needed a Heavenly Restoration Pill.
Nonetheless, in Lei Chen's situation, a Heavenly Restoration Pill will not be going to work and the only pill that can help him to bring back his eroded dantian and meridian is the Divine Restoration Pill. Which is, in this remote place that kind of pill is ceased to exist.
Ying Yan Jia is guessing that Lei Chen is been blessed by heaven and found an otherworldly master that helps him recover his cultivation stage using the Divine Restoration Pill.
After everything was settled Lei Chen bid his farewell again to Ying Yan Jia and continued his way towards his Aunt Ling small restaurant, leaving Chang Hu and Chang Wei lying unconscious on the ground.
As Ying Yan Jia saw Lei Chen leaving and quickly reach out to Lei Chen.
"Ahh! Brother Lei Chen! Please wait, since we're going the same way, is it okay if I tag along?" Ying Yan Jia said.
Lei Chen agreed to Ying Yan Jia's request. He did not have resentment against her, Lei Chen knows she is a true friend because Ying Yan Jia protected him from bullies before he got kicked out from the sect.
They were happily chatting along their way, however, when they reach their destination, Lei Chen saw that the small restaurant is already closed.
Lei Chen wanted to return to their house but Ying Yan Jia invited him to Ying Yan Clan. Lei Chen agreed to Ying Yan Jia's invitation, as he wanted to get information about the people he hated the most, Chu Hai, Tang Bo, and Chang Han.
However, as they tried to leave their feelings become too heavy and a suffocating killing intent envelops them.
" So you are Lei Chen."
That cold tone of voice is coming from the man sitting in the corner of a small restaurant and that man is none other than Steel Raven.
Lei Chen and Ying Yan Jia let out their Qi to defend themselves from Steel Raven Killing Intent and the pressure they felt was reduced in half.
"Who are you?"
Lei Chen confusedly asks, he thought at first that Chu Clan somehow manages to know that he is the culprit of Chu Gan's death. But, with the man's behavior, Lei Chen discerned that this man in front of him is more likely a top expert assassin and Chu Clan will not waste a lot of money to contract a top-level assassin just to kill a nobody like him. So now Lei Chen is hundred percent sure that this man had other business with him.
" Hmmph! You don't have the qualification to know my name... Die! "
Steel Raven killing intent becomes heavier than before. Ying Yan Jia's will is not strong enough to handle the suffocating killing intent. When Lei Chen saw Ying Yan Jia try to reach him out before she becomes unconscious, Lei Chen thought that Ying Yan Jia is dead. Lei Chen angrily screams and shouts her name, when he tries to take Ying Yan Jia, he was obstructed by Steel Raven.
"Ahhh! Damn you!... "
Desperate shouts by Lei Chen, he executed his best attack which is the Heavenly Fist and quickly strides towards Steel Raven with his right hand coated by Qi. However, there is no reaction to Steel Raven, he is just casually standing in the same spot, seems like he is belittling Lei Chen's power.
Lei Chen's unleashed his Heavenly Fist and the Qi that coated his hand has turned into a dragon that eats Steel Raven's hand, as he catches Lei Chen's fist. Nevertheless, it did not scare Steel Raven and still, he did not use any technique or Qi to defend himself from Lei Chen's attack. Steel Raven only used his bare hand to stop Lei Chen's attack.
"What a strength."
Steel Raven praised Lei Chen's shown strength because it manages to numb his hand. Steel Raven's physique is special because of his bloodline power that strengthened his skin and muscle which is ordinary-strength of attack will not gonna affects him.
Steel Raven smirks at Lei Chen who is currently lying flat on the ground. Seems like he is satisfied with Lei Chen's strength, Steel Raven also glances at the small restaurant behind him. Because of Lei Chen's powerful attack, it broke almost half of the restaurant.
Lei Chen's condition now is like a sitting duck, because he gives his all on his previous attack and now he doesn't have enough strength to muster his body. Yet, the thing that he expected did not occur, and even surprised by the next thing that happens.
Steel Raven took out Strength Recovery Pill from his space ring and give it to Lei Chen. Lei Chen is only exhausted with his Qi so still can execute his Spiritual Eyes since it only consumes Spiritual Qi. Lei Chen is also relieved after he heard and confirmed that Ying Yan Jia is not dead, Lei Chen consumes the pill he got from Steel Raven since there is nothing wrong with the pill.
Steel Raven chuckles and once again he praised Lei Chen. But before he left like nothings happen, he gives a word to Lei Chen. "Hahaha, I never anticipated the strength you've shown, unfortunately, it is not enough to protect someone dear to you. What if, I'm not testing your capabilities but to kill your mom?"
"Thank you senior for teaching this junior."
Lei Chen is very thankful to Steel Raven for reminding him of his goal and the key to his success is strength. Lei Chen heard the man murmured before he left, since he had a strong Spiritual Qi it also enhanced his awareness. Lei Chen heard every word of the man.
" Big Sister Phoenix, he is also domineering as you were before, unfortunately, your wings have been cut off. " That's the words Lei Chen's heard before the Steel Raven banished like a smoke.
A minute after Steel Raven left, Ying Yan Jia woke up. She was so glad after hearing that the man is only testing the water, but the man's identity is very mysterious because even Lei Chen is also asked if she knows that man. Since everything is okay now, they just continued their way to Ying Yan Clan and did not bother to think who's that man is.
Ask they reach Ying Yan Clan entrance gate Lei Chen noticed the hideous eyes of Ying Yan Clansmen are following his movement.
Inside the Ying Yan clan residence, there is a secret room hidden at Ying Yan clan Patriarch room and three people are conversing inside.
That hidden room is protected by an array, You can hear the noise outside the array but you can't hear the noise from inside the array.
The Ying Yan Patriarch has an unknown disease so they keep it a secret so as not to let the enemies of the clan know.
"How is it? Master Zi" Ask by the old man, though his age is looked like at the '60s his real age is actually tripled than that. He is Ying Yan Yu the founder of the Ying Yan Clan.
In the world of cultivation, Lengthening your life Span is not a problem if you do have a Life Pill or Reaches a higher Stage in cultivation.
A man named Wong Zi just shakes his head " Sigh, It's been a year that I've been mending his meridians, alas there's no progress it even got worst! Back then, once I've healed Patriarch Ye meridian the symptoms will return after a month. Yet, this time, it's only ten days past, and his right hand almost ruined. Fortunately, I visit here today, if not then I'm afraid there's no cure anymore."
Wong Zi was solemn, he is the current head of the Physician Guild yet there is nothing he can do.
Suddenly the trio heard the voice from the outside.
"Patriarch Ye, please pardon me if I interrupt your work, I just want to report that Miss Jia has returned with a young man along with her."
"Hmm? a young man? could it be that same young man four years ago? this is bad if they saw each other." Ying Yan Yu murmurs.
Lei Chen and Ying Yan Jia is currently talking about the past happened after Lei Chen got kicked out.
Lei Chen was surprised after hearing the whereabouts of Chang Hu, Tang Bo, and Chu Hai. He also heard that Meng Ai and Tang Bo are already engaged to each other and they are now the students of the Azure Dragon Sect.
Chang Han, cousin of Chang Hu was admitted to Bloody Sword Sect along with Chu Hai and their cultivation stage is at Elite Stage 3. However, that information is maybe outdated because that information is from three years ago.
When the eyes of the two meet each other, Ying Yang Jia quickly lowers down her blushing face.
Suddenly a loud forced cough was heard.
"Grandpa! Father, Master Wong Zi! good day!"
Ying Yan Jia and Lei Chen greeted them. Lei Chen suddenly felt a mysterious qi around him but it abruptly disappeared as he noticed it.
("Strange, what could that be?")
Lei Chen muttered to himself.
(" Oh, he felt it, luckily he's just a cub, hahaha, what a strong spiritual qi.")
Wong Zi though he is the one who wanted to used 'Peak' to Lei Chen. It is a Spiritual technique that can gather basic information about someone such as cultivation stage, age, and other private matters. But using this technique on someone is very inappropriate especially if you execute it without his consent.
"Little Jiji, can we borrowed this young man for a bit?"
Ying Yan Jia panicked inside after hearing his father's request, she knew that his father was very irritable nowadays because of his condition. If not only to her grandfather at his side he would have killed many of their people.
Ying Yan Yu felt his granddaughter's fear so he promised his protection to Lei Chen. Ying Yan Jia still reluctant to leave but she doesn't have a choice.
"Bring the wine!"
Ying Yan Ye announced said as they all sit.
" Let's get straight to the point young man, we know my daughter is in love with you and I know that you feel it too. Let me tell you this, fuck-off! An ant just like you don't deserve my daughter! "
Angrily voice of Ying Yan Ye.
" Seniors, thank you for giving me your time, if there is no other concern I'll be now on my way." Lei Chen was offended by Patriarch Ye's harsh words, so he wanted to leave this place to avoid the fire from spreading.
" Hmph! Is this what you showed to your benefactor! Then I'll be the one who gonna kill you now!" When Patriarch Ye wanted to dash over Lei Chen, he was stopped by Ying Yan Yu.
" I'm sorry, this junior did not get what seniors wanted to say. Please enlightened me."
Lei Chen confused about what Patriarch Ye said to him, since when the Ying Yan Clan help him?.
" Alright, Little Jiji is technically the one who helps you. When she heard what those young boys did, Little Jiji pleaded with me to help you out. But those clans mouth is too big and small food did not satisfy them."
It was Ying Yan Yu who tell the story. Then he stares at Lei Chen who is currently surprised by what he heard. " What?? Are you thinking that the Heavenly Fist Sect the one who helps you? Hahaha, you make me laugh if you did. How could a small sect go against those clans? " He added.
Now Lei Chen understood why those faggots did not receive punishment for what they did. After he understood everything Lei Chen kneeled and banged his head on the ground as he expresses his gratitude for saving his life, even if Ying Yan Jia is the one who pleaded the Ying Yan Clan is the one who pays a large amount of resources.
Ying Yan Yu is pleased by Lei Chen's attitude, he is thinking that his granddaughter is safe by him but when he thinks his granddaughter marriage his face became serious again.
"Young man, the reason why we want you to stay away from her is to not waste her effort saving your life. Her maternal clan is not ordinary, she came from Xiao Clan. When they found out that Xiao Hua had someone with her they imprisoned her. A year ago they found out she had a daughter with my son, so they came here to let us know that she is betrothed to Long Clan, young master Long Yan."
As Ying Yan Yu recounts the reason why they cannot hide the trace of their hatred towards the Xiao clan and themselves because they are so weak nor can they fight for their rights.
Lei Chen clasps his hands and repute to Ying Yan Yu.
" I do understand what senior means, however, a fish needs water to survive and no matter how quick or strong it swims, it still cannot withstand the strong current of the river as well as a man in his destiny."
"Hahaha! Such fine words, well I can't argue anymore. I only have one thing to request, don't try to play my Little Jiji feelings or else you know what will happen." Warn by Ying Yan Yu.
" This junior will bore that in my mind. "
Lei Chen found out that the Ying Yan Clan is not the same as the other clan who is very overbearing where ever they are. Now that Lei Chen knows that they are his benefactor he wanted to help them as well by curing Patriarch Ye disease.
Lei Chen already received the quest as Ying Yan Ye shouted to bring the wine. However, with the attitude Patriarch Ye showed to him, he wanted to ignore the quest and let him suffer from poison. Also, he didn't have a basis to show that Patriarch Ye is being poisoned, because even Master Wong Zi wasn't able to notice it.
While Lei Chen is thinking of a way, the wine that Ying Yan Ye requested came in.
"What makes you too long!"
Ying Yan Yu angrily said to his maid.
"The jug is already emptied so we have to boil the spiritual carp bones first and..." Reply by the shivering maid, however, she wasn't able to finish her words and saw Ying Yan Ye hand sign to leave.
( " So it is a wine made from spiritual carp. ") As Lei Chen used his spiritual eyes, he smirks in his mind. He found that there is a small trace of poison in the wine.
( "It's still not enough proof, the fact that the poison is not affecting us because it only has a small portion and our body can easily withstand it." ) Lei Chen dipped his finger in the glass with wine.
( " so this poison does not affect the skin so you need to swallow it. But with Patriarch Ye cultivation stage, he may notice it, unless ... Hahaha, now I get it.")
Lei Chen did not know that his action is disrespectful towards Ying Yan Clan. This wine is historical to them, this is drink is passed down from generation to generation and only those who have high status in Ying Yan Clan have the right to drink this.
Lei Che is looked like a retard, grinning as he mixed the wine with his finger.
Fortunately, his senses were sharp and he immediately felt the glass flying towards him.
"SCRAM!! OR I WILL KILL YOU!!"
Yell out by patriarchy Ye.
Lei Chen understood why they got angry it is because of his action, so he quickly asks for forgiveness.
" Please pardon this junior behavior, this junior is only concern about the thing that causes suffering to Patriarch Ye right shoulder. I don't have the intention to offend someone. "
Wong Zi wanted to sip the wine but he stops after hearing Lei Chen's words, but he didn't react right away and continued to sip the wine while watching the father and son is furious.
Ying Yan Yu takes a deep sigh " Alright, Young man please leave before everything got uncontrollable. "
" Thank you, Founder Yu. "
Lei Chen doesn't have a choice but to leave or else he will be dead.
As Lei Chen walked away Wong Zi spoke. "Doesn't it look like something's wrong?"
"What is it? Master Wong Zi"
Wong Zi shakes his head because up until now they were still blinded by rage and did not able to noticed Lei Chen's words.
" First, you were there at the time and witness that young man suffering from that poison. right?"
Ying Yan Yu nodded but still not able to discern what Wong Zi said.
Alright, let me continue. Didn't you notice that young man got his cultivation back? How come? with his condition, only the Divine Restoration Pill can help him. Now did you get what I mean?"
" So that young man found a Master and help him restore his dantian? "
Confusioly ask by Ying Yan Yu
" Not just a master, I bet it was a very powerful master, didn't you noticed what he said that there is a problem on Patriarch Ye right hand and he was looking at the wine. I bet he already has a clue, which I can't do."
After hearing Wong Zi's deduction, Ying Yan Ye and Ying Yan Yu realized the mistake that they did, so they quickly reach out to Lei Chen.
Lei Chen knows that Patriarch Ye and Founder Yu will chase him back. He intentionally says about Patriarch Ye's condition, this may not be noticed by the two fools but this word is like a bell ring to Wong Zi.
