Chapter: 3640

The Heavenly Marshal troupe performed for half a day, watching as the dust settled, before approaching Ye Chen's side and whispering in his ear, "Mr. Ye, when are you planning to reveal the truth to them?"

Ye Chen replied casually, "No rush, there are still matters to attend to. Let them all start from the foot of Ye Ling Mountain, three steps bowing down to give me a chance to climb up Ye Ling Mountain. I'll be waiting for them at the top."

The Heavenly Marshal hurriedly said, "Mr. Ye, it will take at least half a day to climb up from here, and by the time they reach the top, it may already be dark. Why not go back first and rest, then I'll come pick you up when they're done?"

Ye Chen shook his head slightly, saying calmly, "No need to. I'll just wait for them on the mountain, and during that time, I'll take the opportunity to pay a visit to my parents and then reveal the truth afterwards."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "Wan Ba Jun, don't stay at Ye Ling Mountain either. Go find a good burial site for your parents as soon as possible, so they can rest in peace. Leave some people here to handle things."

Wan Ba Jun had been kneeling on Ye Ling Mountain all night, though it was all done with a willing heart and a sense of filial piety. However, since his parents' coffins were also at Ye Ling Mountain, he felt deeply guilty about them.

Originally, he had hoped to get his parents settled as soon as possible, but Ye Chen hadn't said anything, nor would he dare speak up.

Now that Ye Chen was taking the initiative, Wan Ba Jun's heart was filled with gratitude.

So he spoke up, overcome with emotion, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Ye. Then I'll go down the mountain to attend to my parents' affairs. If there's anything needed, please don't hesitate to summon me or call me directly, and I'll make sure to rush over immediately!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and spoke up, saying, "No need. Just go take care of your own business this time. You've disturbed the peace of your elders, which was indeed a bit hasty. Let's just bury them properly and consider it a form of compensation."

Wan Ba Jun felt deeply ashamed, nodding his head repeatedly.

He didn't know how thoughtless and unfilial he had been, regretting countless times already. Now, all he wanted to do was make amends with all his might, so when he heard Ye Chen's words, his heart felt even more ashamed, and he hurriedly said, "Mr. Ye is right; I'll take care of things properly."

Ye Chen nodded slightly and spoke up, saying, "Don't worry about this matter anymore. Just wait for the people from Ye's family to arrive, then tell them what happened at Ye Ling Mountain, and let me handle everything afterwards. Then you can just leave."

Wan Ba Jun busily said, "I'll take care of this!"

At the time when Ye Chen and Wan Ba Jun were having a quiet conversation, the members of the Ye family who numbered over seven hundred, had been quietly looking at them with anxiety.

In their minds, they thought that Ye Chen was definitely trying to curry favor with Wan Ba Jun, without knowing what kind of evil he was holding back.

To them, Ye Chen had already become as despicable as a traitor from ancient times.

Just then, Wan Ba Jun stepped forward and loudly said, "Everyone, listen up! From now on, all the matters here will be entirely in Ye Chen's hands. You must all obey his instructions without any defiance! Otherwise, I absolutely won't spare him!"

As soon as Wan Ba Jun finished speaking, the members of the Ye family nearly collapsed on the spot.

Initially, they thought that Ye Chen had only surrendered to Wan Ba Jun and become a pawn for Wan Ba Jun's dragon temple, but they didn't expect Wan Ba Jun to be so devoted to him.

At that moment, when they were staring with their mouths agape, Ye Chen walked up to Wan Ba Jun and said, "You descendants of the Ye family, at critical moments, you have disregarded the safety of our family and ancestors' tombs. Unless you're willing to pay a sufficient price, I'm afraid even our ancestors in heaven won't agree. Therefore, starting from now, I want each one of you to bow down three times and kneel to me, and then go up to Ye Ling Mountain to bury the spirits of our ancestors and make amends!"

As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, the over seven hundred members of the Ye family let out a collective wail.

They had already pulled out almost all their cash and signed a repayment agreement that was considered selling one's soul. They could say they had lost half their property.

Even though they had already gone through so much, they still hadn't managed to get over this hurdle. And now Ye Chen was asking them to take three steps and bow three times as they go up Ye Ling Mountain - isn't that just torturing them to death?

Although Ye Ling Mountain has been fully developed by the Ye family, from the foot of the mountain to the ancestral tombs on top there are still smooth cement roads. However, the road winds its way up the mountain for about three or four kilometers. JrNovels.com
