The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 660: Seems Not Very Popular
Chapter 660: Chapter 660: Seems Not Very Popular
Afterward, Ye Chenfeng briefly recounted the matters of the Secular World to Ye Donghua and Sun Meiqin. Of course, as for his own strength and the various dangers he had encountered, he did not explain those to Ye Donghua and Sun Meiqin; he didn’t want his parents to worry. As for the formidable power he now possessed, his parents would eventually witness it themselves. If he mentioned it now, Ye Donghua and Sun Meiqin probably wouldn’t believe it, since in their eyes, Ye Chenfeng was just an ordinary person.
After listening to Ye Chenfeng’s account, Sun Meiqin said, "So Chenfeng, you entered the Ancient Martial World with others! It’s not a place where just anybody can stroll into."
Ye Chenfeng looked at Sun Meiqin and Ye Donghua and asked, "Mom and Dad, we all thought you two were no longer in this world. How come you have appeared in the Ancient Martial World? And it seems you have some kind of connection with the Gate of Shocking Heaven?"
Just now, Ye Chenfeng had heard Chen Zijie call his parents by honorific titles, which is why he had this question.
Sun Meiqin sighed and said, "Chenfeng, actually, I am originally from the Ancient Martial World. My father, your maternal grandfather, is the Sect Leader of the Gate of Shocking Heaven."
"Many years ago, before your grandfather took the position of the Sect Leader of the Gate of Shocking Heaven, he took me to the Secular World for a visit, and since then, I fell in love with the Secular World."
"I was never a fan of fighting and killing. So, I thought the life of the Secular World suited me better. Later on, I met your father in the Secular World, and we quickly fell in love."
"At the time, my father, my brother, and all our relatives opposed this marriage, but I was obstinate, and finally, they let me be. However, they made me promise not to reveal that I was from the Ancient Martial World. So your father, your uncle, and your grandfather had no idea about my identity."
Sun Meiqin collected herself and continued, "The truth is that the people who died in that car accident were not your father and me. The Gate of Shocking Heaven accidentally learned of the Xuantian Sect’s plot to control the Songs in the Capital City and their intention to grab power in the Secular World. The Xuantian Sect’s first target was our Ye family. Therefore, your grandfather secretly sent three Guardian High Masters to the Secular World."
"After those three High Masters reached the Secular World, through multiple covert investigations, they realized that the Xuantian Sect and the Songs planned to target your father and me first. Thus, those three High Masters prepared two corpses with similar physical features to ours in advance, saving us, while the unrecognizable bodies you saw dead in the car crash were the ones they had readied."
"After being saved, your father and I were taken straight into the Ancient Martial World. We wanted to return to the Secular World, but your grandfather refused, as the Xuantian Sect is a top force in the Ancient Martial World, and the Gate of Shocking Heaven could not afford to offend them. If the Xuantian Sect ever found out we were still alive, or if they investigated and discovered that the Gate of Shocking Heaven had intervened—"
"Then not only would the Gate of Shocking Heaven face retaliation from the Xuantian Sect, but it could also be destroyed outright. After all, in the Ancient Martial World, the Gate of Shocking Heaven is just a second-rate power. So, my father, my brother, and everyone else did not agree to let us return to the Secular World, and your father and I alone had no ability to get back. That left us with no choice but to stay within the Gate of Shocking Heaven, always contemplating how to leave the Ancient Martial World."
"Chenfeng, would you blame us? I really hate myself for not being able to be there for my son. I hate how useless I am as a mother," Sun Meiqin’s tears kept streaming from her eyes.
Since the Gate of Shocking Heaven had no power in the Secular World, they hadn’t received any news about the grievances between Ye Chenfeng and the Xuantian Sect, Ye Chenfeng and the Cold Sea Pavilion, and the matter of Ye Chenfeng’s annihilation of the Songs.
The family of Sun Meiqin originally despised this marriage of hers. They had already taken considerable risk in offending the Xuantian Sect to save Sun Meiqin and Ye Donghua at the critical moment; managing the affairs of the Secular World’s Ye family with the Gate of Shocking Heaven as a second-rate sect was truly beyond their capacity.
"Mom and Dad, I don’t blame you. I am fine now, aren’t I? Don’t be sad anymore; you’ll get wrinkles if you keep crying," Ye Chenfeng comforted his mother.
Sun Meiqin burst out smiling through tears, "Chenfeng, when did your tongue become so sweet? I hope you don’t hold any grudge against the Gate of Shocking Heaven, and don’t blame your grandfather or your uncles. They have their own difficulties."
Ye Chenfeng also knew that what Sun Meiqin said was true. After all, the Xuantian Sect belonged only to the second tier in the Ancient Martial World. If they were to forcefully confront the first-tier Xuantian Sect, it was very possible that everyone in the Xuantian Sect would end up being slaughtered. Therefore, it was understandable that the Xuantian Sect did not get involved in the affairs of the Yes after saving Sun Meiqin and Ye Donghua. Moreover, the Xuantian Sect wasn’t heartless to the extreme, so Ye Chenfeng bore no resentment toward them. Even if he had any, it disappeared for the sake of his mother, Sun Meiqin.
"Meiqin, now that Chenfeng has arrived in the Ancient Martial World, we can almost return to the Secular World. I’ve truly had enough of this place," Ye Donghua said, somewhat discontentedly. It seemed that for someone like Ye Donghua without any strength, a place where power was revered like the Ancient Martial World, he certainly wouldn’t be seen with respect, which is why he wanted to leave the Ancient Martial World as soon as possible.
"Donghua, what’s the hurry? Let’s take Chenfeng to meet his grandfather first. They should all be in the Xuantian Sect’s grand hall now. It seems like some guests are coming to our Xuantian Sect today," said Sun Meiqin.
Ye Chenfeng just wanted to gather news about Han Chuxue! Meeting the grandfather he had never met and other relatives was good too, especially since he needed to rely on the power of the Xuantian Sect to get information about Han Chuxue.
Seeing that Ye Chenfeng had no objections, Sun Meiqin immediately took Ye Chenfeng to the Xuantian Sect’s grand hall, with Ye Donghua having no choice but to follow behind the mother and son once again.
When Sun Meiqin and Ye Chenfeng arrived at the Xuantian Sect’s grand hall, there was an old man in his sixties or seventies sitting on a chair at the very front in the center. This old man was Sun Meiqin’s father, Sun Yang’an.
On the chairs to the left of the hall sat two middle-aged men. These two men were Sun Meiqin’s brothers, Sun Zhengzhi and Sun Zhengyi. Standing next to Sun Zhengzhi and Sun Zhengyi were a young man and a young woman, similar in age to Ye Chenfeng. They were Sun Zhengzhi’s son, Sun Hengfei, and Sun Zhengyi’s daughter, Sun Xiaoli.
When the people in the grand hall saw Sun Meiqin and Ye Donghua walk in, and noticed Sun Meiqin holding a young man by the hand, the seated Sun Yang’an was the first to speak, "Meiqin, who is this young man?"
Sun Meiqin pulled Ye Chenfeng in front of Sun Yang’an and said, "Dad, this is my son, Ye Chenfeng! He is also your grandson."
Then, Sun Meiqin took Ye Chenfeng over to Sun Zhengzhi and Sun Zhengyi and introduced him, "Chenfeng, these two are your eldest uncle and second uncle, and standing next to them are your brother and sister. You young people should get to know each other well in the future."
Back in the day, Sun Meiqin went against the wishes of her father and brothers by insisting on marrying Ye Donghua, which led to her relationship with her family becoming estranged. She had always wanted to be reintegrated into the family.
Ye Chenfeng felt Sun Meiqin’s strong desire, and as her son, how could he let his mother down? So he awkwardly called out to the seated Sun Yang’an, "Grandfather."
Then, he turned to Sun Zhengzhi and Sun Zhengyi and called out, "Eldest uncle, second uncle."
The people present were all somewhat confused and hadn’t yet processed Sun Meiqin’s explanation. It was Sun Hengfei, standing next to Sun Zhengzhi, who spoke up with a hint of disdain, "Aunt, is this really your son? My little brother? Didn’t I hear you say before that my little brother was suffering from panic disorder? How could someone like that come to the Ancient Martial World?"
Standing next to Sun Zhengyi, the rather pretty Sun Xiaoli said arrogantly, "Aunt, I never thought that I would have a brother in the Secular World with a brain problem and no combat ability."
Hearing this, Ye Chenfeng, standing next to Sun Meiqin, just shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and a cold smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth – it seemed he wasn’t very welcome?
