Chapter: 229
Everyone's face changed color at this reckless speech! He doesn't want to live anymore?
The courtyard was silent as a tomb.
Song Wan Ting also stood up in shock, thinking that things had taken a bad turn......
Yu Jinghai laughed mockingly and took one step closer to Ye Chen, saying, "I've seen many people in my life, but none like you, who deliberately seek death."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Who lives, who dies? It's not certain yet."
Yu Jinghai's anger had already boiled over, his eyes turned cold, and he was about to strike.
Just then, a group of people suddenly burst into the room with a loud commotion.
Leading the group was Qin Ao Dong, who caught Ye Chen's eye and immediately shouted at him, "Ye Chen, you're a fake monk, pretending to be something you're not! You swindled my second uncle out of our family's money and took it to sell at an auction, causing my teacher to uncover your deceit! Hand over the goods now, or else the Qin family won't spare you!"
As the voices fell silent, Qin Gang and Qin Ao Xue walked into the room from outside, heard Qin Ao Dong's rebuke, and tried to intervene but it was too late, a awkward atmosphere unfolded.
Ye Chen cast him a fleeting glance without speaking.
However, this one glance sent a chill down Qin Gang's spine, suddenly arousing a sense of fear, and he scolded Qin Ao Dong sharply before quickly laughing nervously at Ye Chen, explaining: "Master Ye, it's like this......"
Qin Gang couldn't hide the truth, recounting everything that had happened.
Ye Chen listened quietly, furrowing his brow slightly, and said coldly: "It's just a few million. If you regret it, I can return the money to you at any time."
"Ah, Master Ye, please don't say that! I wouldn't dare ask Master Ye for a refund! I came today because I have long admired your noble reputation and want to gain some insight."
Qin Gang was still unsure about Ye Chen's abilities or intentions, but he also considered himself a smart person, so he didn't plan to immediately confront Ye Chen.
Although his mouth was polite, his heart was hesitant, feeling that Ye Chen's depths were difficult to fathom, so let Jinghai try instead.
If Ye Chen showed his true colors in front of Jinghai, then he naturally wouldn't be courteous to him, having spent a lot of money and wanting to get it back with interest.
Therefore, he smiled at Ye Chen and the others: "I won't disturb you all now. I'll say more about this later. Please busy yourselves with important matters, don't worry about me."
Qin Ao's face turned red with indignation, thinking of speaking out, but was met with a stern glare from Qin Gang, who dared not say another word.
Upon seeing this, Jinghai chuckled and said, "You've arrived just in time. I know your Qin family has been troubled lately, and Ye Chen has also practiced at your home before. Today, I'll challenge him to a duel and settle the troubles for you once and for all! Ye Chen, if you're not willing to engage with me, you'll die without a doubt today, and afterwards, I'll take care of wiping out your entire clan!"
Ye Chen furrowed his brow and coldly said, "Since you're determined to seek death, then so be it."
As Ye Chen died with a stubborn determination, Jinghai chuckled and turned to Wang Zhenggang, saying, "It seems that someone is indeed alive and well. Oh well, go prepare three censers, one purple gold ash receptacle, and a peach wood sword for me. I'll see it through."
Wang Zhenggang didn't dare to be slow, quickly preparing everything.
Before long, the ash receptacle was inserted with sandalwood incense, and clear smoke rose into the air.
Jinghai raised his peach wood sword, chanting an incantation. JrNovels.com
