Chapter 95: Public Announcement is the Best Resistance

“These things that you are talking about...... Do you have any proof?” Hua Zhentian said calmly, but his brows were raised up high. For a carefree person like him, this kind of posture conveyed the peak of his excitement.

“No proof, but I never doubt my predictions. Even if there’s no proof, I’m sure Elder Hua already believes me.” Ye Wuchen said, “Because the Ye Family is needed to intimidate the Gale Nation, they cannot expose their real intentions; therefore, they need to act silently in making arrangements to take control of the Ye Family. If not for my return, the Ye Family might not come to know of it until their deaths; that the one they have been loyal to is the same one who cut off their future generations, and snatched away members of the Ye Family.

Hua Zhentian incessantly scratched his head, he innwardly felt like roaring out loud in anxiety. What Ye Wuchen had said might seem extremely treasonous, but since the boy had dared to speak out so directly in front of him, it proves that they were not just simple guesses. He refused to accept that his subconscious mind had already believed ninety percent of what this fellow had said.

He suddenly lifted his head, “Young fellow, do you have any plans against us Hua Family by getting close to my daughter?”

“Yes...... but only in part . If it wasn’t for my affections to Shuirou, even if the Hua Family is ten times more powerful than what it is now, I still wouldn’t use this kind of method just to get close to her.”

Hua Zhentian did not get angry, rather he lowered his face and nodded. “I figured you were being honest. If you told me much earlier that you had no plans against the Hua Family, even if you were already my son-in-law I might still give you a big slap on your face.”

Ye Wuchen laughed then sighed, “Elder Hua, forgive me for being frank. Originally, one of the reasons for your betrothing Shuirou to Lin Xiao of Lin family was not only partly for his excellence but also mainly because the Emperor had made great efforts to play matchmaker, right? Else, you wouldn’t make such an untimely decision for her future, based on the degree of affection you have for your own daughter. Moreover, before you agreed to this wedding proposal, you must have been drunk as well.”

Hua Zhentian wrinkled his brows, went silent for moment before he continued, “What you said is pretty much right.”

Hua Zhentian suddenly realized that every statement Ye Wuchen made was quite surprising.

“Telling me of these predictions just now can be considered as your trust in me, Hua Zhentian. I will not tell anyone, but it doesn’t mean that I trust you. Whether or not you are right or wrong, you already committed a deadly mistake...... If there’s really someone who is plotting against the Ye Family, no matter who your opponent is, you shouldn’t expose yourself so easily! That day, you’ve already exposed your strength and wisdom, as well as the God of Sword’s support for you. This might seem like a good intimidation method, but in reality you are just digging your own grave.” Hua Zhentian said in anger. He had now become concerned with the safety of Ye Wuchen because it was now related to his daughter’s happiness.

Ye Wuchen’s affections towards Hua Shuirou was naturally not to the point of becoming a “foolishly devoted” kind of love, but merely fondness of each other. Subconsciously, when you are fond of something, you would not permit it to be shared with others, and in no way would he allow himself to regret it in the future. In the meantime, having Hua Shuirou would include Hua Zhentian and the entire Hua Family, so he needed to win her over, and he needed to do so as soon as possible. At the very least, she should not enter into the marriage with the Lin Family.

Hua Zhentian’s rebuke at him had proven that the decision he made was indeed correct.

Ye Wuchen smiled weakly, and unhurriedly said, “Even you, Elder Hua, a person of such a brilliant mind would think this, so others must have thought so too.”

Hua Zhentian startled, and was flattered for a moment, then suddenly remarked, “You are the most intelligent young fellow that I have known, it is reasonable to say that you shouldn’t have committed such a stupid mistake, don’t tell me......”

“It will be impossible for me to do such a pretentious thing My whole life, I refuse to be one belittled by others. Judging by the current situation of the Ye Family, if I were still the same Ye Wuchen a year ago, then this evil scheme would come much quicker. In my opinion, public announcement is the best resistance. Using the most aggressive stance to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat, even stepping on top of the number one outstanding talent at that time. Behind me, there’s even the God of Sword whom nobody dares to provoke. As a result, people will think that those were already my all out efforts, little did they know that......”

Ye Wuchen twisted the corner of his mouth and did not continue. The false image that he had created was perfect. Who would have thought that this extremely domineering young man still had not revealed his trump. The false image that he had created will in turn cause others to expose their trump, little by little, until they revealed their true rotten identities.

And he possessed plenty of hidden trumps...... for instance, the pile of explosive substances that nobody knew of, he could destroy the entire Lin Family with. Or the Southern Empire Sword that could take control of the entire clan of the Southern Empire. Or another example......

These enormous hidden trumps that nobody knew of except himself.

Hua Zhentian realized the meaning of his words and grew alarmed. “Could it be that you are still hiding something?”

From the hesitation on Ye Wuchen’s face, Hua Zhentian waved his hand promptly, “Nevermind, these are your concerns, better not tell me, or else I will be get caught up. Although I am a rough man, I have my own principles. My Hua Family existed because of the Tian Long Nation. If not for Tian Long’s Royal Family, my Hua Family would not be here at present. And you, young fellow, are destined to have no rest. If there comes a day where you are in a difficult situation...... even if you are my son-in-law, I will never help you. But....” He paused, lowered his voice and said, “In case your Ye Family reaches a moment of calamity, find a way to secretly deliver a message to me...... After all, my daughter will be living in your place.”

Hua Zhentian’s usual thunder-like voice had dropped down low, until his voice became so weak that it was almost hard to hear clearly. For someone like him who had been very loyal to Tian Long Nation, it took a lot of determination to say these words, even enduring the self hate, as he was going against his own principles. Ye Wuchen stood, half lowering his head and said, “Thank you...... my honorable father-in-law.”

Hua Zhentian became distracted, then laughed out loud, “Hahahaha, why be so polite when you already called me your father-in-law. Those statements I made a while ago were just some random thoughts, don’t take them too seriously...... If you want to take them seriously, just agree to my one request, can you?”

Ye Wuchen promptly replied, “Please do tell, father-in-law. Wuchen will do as per your request.”

“Actually this is not a difficult thing to do....”

Hua Zhentian suddenly became embarrassed, and he started mumbling, “It’s just that...... I only have this daughter by my side, if you take her away then I will be left with nothing. If you two can.... Ahem! Get married as soon as possible, and give birth to some grandchildren or something. Holding a grandchild in my arms will make my life more meaningful.”

“......”

................................................................................................

After entering the Hua residence like a ghost, he now walked out of its gates honorably. The two guards assigned to the main gate wanted to say something but hesitated. They really wanted to ask him how he got in.

As he was about to step outside, he was approached by an impressive looking young man, the eldest son of the Lin Family, Lin Xiao. There were no attendants following behind him. Ye Wuchen’s radiant face caused Lin Xiao’s brows to raise. He stepped aside in a very gentlemanly way, and voluntarily greeted, “As it turns out, it’s Master Ye.”

“Oh?” Ye Wuchen gave him a sidelong glance, puzzled and said, “Mister, you look so familiar, how do I address you?”

Upon hearing those words, the two guards almost questioned their ears. This Master Ye had just won against Master Lin a few days ago, but today he somehow suddenly did not recognize him anymore? Or maybe...... he just did not care about him.

“I am Lin Xiao.” Lin Xiao did not show any anger, but answered calmly.

“Oh...... Master Lin, behold my bad memory, please do forgive me. What are you here for?” Ye Wuchen asked.

“Lin Xiao hereby visits his future father-in-law. How about Master Ye......”

“Oh, my regrets. I’m afraid Master Lin you might not be able to fulfill your wish.” Ye Wuchen shrugged his shoulders, then elegantly walked past him, no longer looking at him.

At this moment, within the courtyard echoed a thunder-like voice. The two guards became frightened and quivered, “This old man has something to discuss with his daughter this afternoon, whoever arrives, don’t let him in.”

The two guards looked at each other in dismay, one of them gathered his courage to yell out, “But Old Master, Young Master Lin has arrived.”

“I don’t care if it is the old Lin or young Lin, are you deaf? I already said won’t allow anybody to enter, even the Emperor himself! You need to shoo him away!!”

Lin Xiao promptly waved his hand, “Brothers, since your Master has something to attend to, I won’t bother you anymore. Let me say my goodbyes.”

Even though they had already become familiar with Master Lin, the two of them were still overwhelmed by the command from their superior, and saluted to him at once, “Take care Master Lin.”

Looking towards Ye Wuchen who never looked back as he left, Lin Xiao secretly clenched his teeth, and hurriedly walked over to his side, “Master Ye please wait, I have something to say.”

“Oh? Please say it then.” Ye Wuchen answered. However, neither did he cease his steps nor did he even incline his head while talking.

Lin Xiao suppressed his temper and said, “Master Ye, what must I do to make you give up on young miss Shuirou of the Hua Family. Your performance was absolutely outstanding, so your admirers will be countless, even the Zhuge Family and the Shangguan Family, whose daughters are picky, think highly of you. I heard they even took the initiative to visit your house to propose marriage, is it worth the risk to cling to Hua Shuirou? Don’t you know that by doing this, you put both of our families in a very difficult situation?”

“My Ye Family and your Lin Family are in bad terms, so it makes no difference.” Ye Wuchen said indifferently.

“My engagement with Hua Shuirou has been personally witnessed by the Emperor.....”

“Then you should see the Emperor, there’s no need to see me.”

Lin Xiao took a long breath, lowered his voice and said, “If only you are willing to give up Hua Shuirou, I will agree to any wish. Just regard it as me..... begging you.”

Ye Wuchen raised his brows and said, “Have you ever bowed your head to beg at someone before?”

“Never before.”

“Yet today you are bowing your head to beg, are you resigning yourself?”
