Ye Chen looked at the terrified Jin Er.
"Repeat exactly what I said to Jin Yuan," Ye Chen said slowly.
"Alright, alright," Jin Er replied, not daring to refuse.
"Go away," Ye Chen said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Jin Er felt as if he had been granted a reprieve and quickly ran away, reaching the fastest speed of his life.
When Ye Chen turned around, he noticed that the members of the Ghost Shadow Gang had frozen in place like statues.
"Miss Lin, do you think Ye Chen could be the same Ye Chen from the Baiyun Base City?" Tang Hu suddenly spoke.
"I... I don't know," Lin Man shook her head.
Ye Chen walked up to them and looked at Lin Man, saying, "Sister Man, shall we go inside?"
Lin Man nodded, and then everyone entered the Ghost Shadow Gang's hall.
In the hall at that moment, all eyes were on Ye Chen, including those of the six chief protectors of the Ghost Shadow Gang.
"Mr. Ye, you are truly amazing," Tang Hu said respectfully to Ye Chen, while secretly feeling a sense of fear, recalling the time when he had offended such a terrifying figure.
Lin Man hesitated, looking at Ye Chen, and asked, "Ye Chen, are you really that Ye Chen?"
Ye Chen smiled, knowing exactly what Lin Man meant.
"Sister Man, didn't I already tell you? I am that Ye Chen," Ye Chen said with a smile.
With these words, everyone in the hall exchanged puzzled glances, as they believed Ye Chen had not deceived them, considering that even the Seven-Star Martial Artist Jin Er had been sent flying by Ye Chen's slap.

At the Jin family residence,
Jin Er rushed to the Jin family estate from the impoverished district.
"Family Head! Family Head!" Jin Er shouted as he entered the Jin family's main hall.
Unfortunately, the family head, Jin Yuan, was not in the hall at that time.
"Uncle Er, what's wrong with you?" Jin Cheng asked with confusion. "Didn't you go to the impoverished district?"
"Yeah, Second Brother, why are you shouting like that?" a middle-aged man in the hall also asked in bewilderment.
Jin Er took a few deep breaths and then said, "Ye Chen, Ye Chen has returned!"
What!!! Jin Cheng and the middle-aged man both stood up abruptly.
"Ye Chen!"
Jin Cheng's face turned pale. During the Three Institute Competition, he had been severely injured by Ye Chen and had lost his qualification to enter the Baiyun Intermediate Martial Arts Academy. He held a deep grudge against Ye Chen.
The middle-aged man also smirked. His name was Jin San, Jin Cheng's third uncle. Despite being the third in line, he had much higher talent than Jin Er. Besides the family head, Jin Yuan, Jin San was the strongest in the Jin family.
"Second Brother, what does Ye Chen's return have to do with you going to the impoverished district?" Jin San asked, puzzled.
Then, Jin Er explained the whole situation to Jin Cheng and Jin San.
Jin Cheng and Jin San were shocked by what they heard. Their eyes widened, as if they couldn't believe their ears.
"Second Brother, are you sure about this?" Jin San asked, finding it hard to believe.
"Humph!" Jin Cheng snorted. "Second Uncle, I think you've been scared out of your wits by Ye Chen. During the Three Institute Competition, you witnessed Ye Chen's strength. How could he possibly be the Ye Chen from Baiyun Base City?"
"That's not entirely true, Young Cheng," Jin San argued. "During the Three Institute Competition, those students didn't even dare to compete against Ye Chen. Have you forgotten?"
