Elder Hu has died!

Hu Xiaoqi was extremely sad, with tears continuously falling!

And Ye Tianchen didn’t know how to comfort Hu Xiaoqi. In his view, saying things like "grieve and accept the change, everyone must face this day eventually," was futile, even just deepening the bereaved’s pain. If it were you, could you truly grieve and accept the change when facing the loss of a loved one?

Not knowing what to do, Ye Tianchen simply pulled Hu Xiaoqi into his arms when she learned of Elder Hu’s passing. No matter how much Hu Xiaoqi struggled, Ye Tianchen held her tightly, hoping to give her a bit of warmth. This was what Ye Tianchen felt he could do.

Rustle!

Elder Hu’s body also began to slowly dissipate. His Divine Thought had already completely faded away, the wheel of life had utterly collapsed and disappeared. As a Martial Artist with a certain Cultivation Realm, after passing, if special Divine Skills weren’t used, both his Divine Thought and body would completely dissipate, leaving nothing in this world.

Ye Tianchen watched as Elder Hu’s body dissipated, while Hu Xiaoqi no longer had the strength to struggle, with tears flowing unstoppably. Ye Tianchen frowned, watching these fragments of Elder Hu’s dissipating body slowly rise, swirling around Hu Xiaoqi as if protecting her. This scene moved Ye Tianchen, and Hu Xiaoqi felt it too!

"Grandpa, is that you? I can feel you, I will live strong and won’t let you down!" Hu Xiaoqi bit her lip, tears falling as she spoke.

Ye Tianchen smiled slightly, knowing that Elder Hu was relieved and had let go of his last obsession, departing peacefully. Over the years, Elder Hu, who should have passed earlier, had been enduring and persisting painfully. Even though he lived a few more years, the pain of persisting like this was something ordinary people and even Martial Artists could not endure. Elder Hu endured it all for his granddaughter, Hu Xiaoqi. Now that Elder Hu had passed away, his Divine Thought dissipated, and his body turned to dust, he still had a little obsession, wanting to see his granddaughter one last time. After circling around Hu Xiaoqi, the dust from his body flew to the sky and scattered in all corners!

"Xiaoqi, don’t be sad. Life ahead will still be magnificent and splendid!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

"Brother Ye, do you think Grandpa will watch over me from the sky?" Hu Xiaoqi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked.

"He will, always. So you must be strong!" Ye Tianchen nodded and said.

"Mm!" Hu Xiaoqi was very strong, which surprised Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen had Hu Xiaoqi pack some simple luggage, mainly to see if there were any sentimental items, and then he took her back to the Ye Mansion.

With Elder Hu gone, Ye Tianchen promised him to take good care of Hu Xiaoqi. When entrusted with someone’s care, you must honor that trust. Ye Tianchen was a man of his word, and in this, he would not falter.

"Xiaoqi, have you been blind since you were a child?" As Ye Tianchen rode a motorcycle, he couldn’t help but ask.

"Yes, Grandpa tried many ways, found the best doctors to treat me, but none could cure it. Grandpa even tried using Martial Arts True Qi, but it still had no effect!" Hu Xiaoqi replied, somewhat disappointed, shaking her head.

"Oh, but it’s alright. Brother Ye has thought of a method that will definitely cure your eyes!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile, seeing Hu Xiaoqi’s disappointed look.

"Really, Brother Ye?" Hu Xiaoqi asked, almost not daring to believe it.

"Of course it’s true. Brother Ye is a man of his word. However, the method I thought of might take a little time to implement!" Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and said.

"Mm, that’s fine, as long as it can cure my eyes. Then I can see what a good person Brother Ye is!" Hu Xiaoqi said, smiling happily.

"Ha ha, you certainly will. Just don’t be disappointed when the time comes!" Ye Tianchen joked with a laugh.

"Hmm!" Hu Xiaoqi nodded vigorously.

Ye Tianchen rode the motorcycle and quickly returned to the Ye Mansion. When he parked the bike at the mansion’s gate, both security guards were taken aback, because they saw a girl sitting on the back of Ye Tianchen’s motorcycle. Her outfit wasn’t very stylish or unique, but she looked very pure and cute, with a definitely high beauty standard. Perhaps after some grooming, she could be a stunning beauty.

The two guards at the Ye Mansion were certainly surprised to see Ye Tianchen riding a motorcycle with such flair while carrying a girl back home. That’s because not only the Ye family but the entire Capital City and even all of China knew about one thing: Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei are getting married!

Liu Rumei is the most beautiful woman in the Capital City, possibly even one of the top beauties in all of China. Her family background is the prestigious Liu family, known for their research lineage. From a young age, she was surrounded by various accolades, and every move she made was watched keenly by the world. A beauty like hers getting married was bound to be sensational news.

Ye Tianchen, on the other hand, doesn’t need much introduction. Once considered a wasteful good-for-nothing, he made a remarkable turnaround after returning from military service, achieving feats that rocked the Mortal World. Just when Ye Tianchen was on the rise along with the Ye family, he vanished. His disappearance lasted ten years, and during that time, no one dared to provoke the Ye family because of Ye Tianchen’s frighteningly iron-fisted methods from the past. Now, Ye Tianchen has returned after nearly a decade, and his comeback announcement to marry Liu Rumei is news that can shock all of China and the entire Mortal World, wouldn’t you agree?

Moreover, Liu Rumei and Ye Tianchen were originally sworn enemies from more than a decade ago, with families that harbored everlasting grudges, never interacting. Even though time has passed and all grievances were cleared up, both Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei were merely victims. There were even rumors that Liu Rumei gradually fell in love with Ye Tianchen during his ten-year absence, quietly sacrificing a lot. Even so, for them to get married right upon his return—it seems the story is developing too quickly, doesn’t it?

Once the news of Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei’s marriage got out, the topic began frequenting discussions across all of China, especially among middle and upper-class societies. Various opinions and questions arose, but ultimately, they all revolved around Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei!

With rumors fresh in the air about Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei’s marriage, that very evening, Ye Tianchen rides a flashy motorcycle carrying a pure-looking young girl back home. What’s going on? What’s this act all about?

"Young Master, you’ve returned? And this is...?" A security guard hurried over, wisely grabbing the luggage off the motorcycle, chuckling as he inquired.

"You guys don’t need to be so gossipy. It’s not what you think. Just take the luggage into my villa!" Ye Tianchen, having read the two guards’ minds at the gate, remarked.

"Yes, yes, understood, Young Master!" The guard holding the luggage said with a chuckle.

Ye Tianchen looked at the two gossipy guards and couldn’t help but shake his head, feeling a bit speechless. Glancing at Hu Xiaoqi, he said, "Let’s go, Xiao Qi; we’re home. Brother Ye will first take you to your accommodation!"

"Hmm, Brother Ye, what kind of place is this? Why does it seem so heavily guarded?" Though blind, Hu Xiaoqi could sense it.

"Oh, it’s Brother Ye’s home. My family mansion is fairly large, and you’ll be living here from now on. Once I’m able to proceed with that plan, I’ll heal your eyes so you can see." Ye Tianchen replied with a smile.

"Oh, then Brother Ye’s house must be huge!" Hu Xiaoqi pondered for a moment before saying.

"It’s alright, just average size. Don’t overthink it, just live happily here. It’s already dark now, and tomorrow I’ll introduce you to the family. From then on, we’re all family!" Ye Tianchen said.

"Mm, thank you, Brother Ye!" Hu Xiaoqi said, touched.

"Hehe, silly girl, you already call me brother, so we’re family. No need to be so polite!" Ye Tianchen replied with a hearty laugh.

"Mm!" Hu Xiaoqi nodded obediently.

Ye Tianchen led Hu Xiaoqi into the Ye Mansion, causing the guards at the entrance to be dumbfounded, particularly the one carrying the luggage, who frowned and said, "Where did the Young Master just return from, meeting such a beauty? It doesn’t make sense. Should we inform Miss Liu Rumei about this?"

"No, definitely not. What if this pure beauty is just someone the Young Master whimsically brought in tonight? If it gets exposed, it would be a disaster!" another guard chimed in.

"That’s true. This matter shouldn’t be taken lightly. If it causes a stir, they’ll trace it back to us, and that would undoubtedly be disastrous. We better not get involved in this mess!" The guard holding the luggage nodded vigorously.

"Hmm? What are you two talking about? What’s this about not getting involved? Where did the luggage in your hand come from?" Suddenly, Liu Fei appeared at the gate of the Ye Mansion, catching the guards mid-conversation, and questioned them. (To be continued.
