["Super Soldier" has exceeded five million words. I hope everyone will introduce it to their friends to read. Thank you!]
Ye Tianchen returned to the Mortal World, returned to the Capital City, and also returned to his own home.
However, what he didn’t expect was that his parents had already "aged." His parents, who were originally in their fifties and should have been very young, now looked as if they were in their seventies or eighties, and seemed extremely weak, as if they could die at any moment. Why his parents would be in such a state, why they would appear so sickly, Ye Tianchen did not know. However, he was not worried. It wouldn’t be difficult for him to figure this out!
"Great, great, Tianchen, you’re back!" Ye Hong said earnestly.
"Son, I am really happy to see you again. Over the years, my health has been getting worse every day. I was really afraid that one day I would not see you, and then..." Luo Yan said, feeling sad again with tears welling up in her eyes!
Ye Tianchen’s emotions were also stirred, after all, he hadn’t seen his parents for so many years, and when he did see them, they were in such a sickly state, with their bodies in very poor condition, getting worse by the day, possibly dying at any time. But what made Ye Tianchen feel particularly fortunate was that his parents were still alive. If he had come back even a little later, given his parents’ current special physical condition, they could have passed away at any time, and even if he were stronger, he would not have been able to turn back time!
"It’s okay, it’s okay. Your health will get better and better every day. Since your son is back, and seeing how happy you are, your health will definitely get better!" Ye Tianchen said as he clasped each of his parents’ hands in his own.
After a gentle grasp, Ye Tianchen released his hands, then smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, don’t worry about anything. Now that I’m back, my sister and I will support the entire Ye family, and your health will definitely improve!"
"Yes, it’s good that you’re back!" Ye Hong nodded weakly.
"Let’s leave it at that for now. I’ll make some arrangements so we can have a family reunion dinner tonight. No, we’ll have a reunion dinner every night from now on!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.
Ye Tianchen did not linger long in the villa where his parents lived, not because he didn’t want to, but because he was somewhat afraid to stay. He didn’t want his parents to be too emotional at the sight of him. Their health was deteriorating with each passing day, and excessive emotions were not good for them. Even if they were to recover, it would take some time, and they needed a calm and quiet environment to recuperate.
Moreover, Ye Tianchen would definitely not allow his parents’ health to continue deteriorating in such a way. He would find out what was going on. This matter seemed anything but simple. If someone had harmed his parents behind the scenes, causing their health to suffer greatly and nearly lead to death, preventing him from seeing his parents, how could Ye Tianchen ever let that go?
Ye Tianchen, Ye Qianwen, Liu Fei, and the man with the sword on his back all left the villa. After some distance from the villa, Ye Tianchen looked at his sister, Ye Qianwen, and asked, "Qianwen, why did Mom and Dad’s health suddenly deteriorate like this?"
"I don’t know either. I only remember that a year ago, Mom and Dad woke up one morning and talked about having the same dream during breakfast. Since then, their health started deteriorating every day..." Ye Qianwen said, full of confusion.
"Had a dream?" Ye Tianchen furrowed his brow, naturally feeling very strange. His parents’ health began deteriorating each day after just having a dream a year ago. This was incredibly peculiar!
"Yes, it seemed odd to me too, but watching Mom and Dad’s health decline day by day, I sought help from the top medical teams domestically and abroad. They couldn’t find any reasons. I even resorted to superstition and hired a Taoist priest, but nothing worked!" Ye Qianwen shook her head.
Seeing his sister Ye Qianwen, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow for her. He could imagine how much suffering his sister had endured in these nearly ten years of his absence, especially in the past year when their parents’ health declined. Sister Qianwen must have borne a heavy burden, maintaining the Ye family’s status, managing the Sea King Group, and caring for their parents. For a young girl, this was truly arduous!
"Yes, don’t worry. Mom and Dad will be fine. I will hold up this family, and you can do whatever you like, like traveling, writing, or falling in love..." Ye Tianchen looked at his sister Ye Qianwen with a gentle smile.
"Yes, yes, you’re not young anymore. It’s about time to consider dating!" Liu Fei said with a cheeky smile.
"Go away! Even if I were to date, it wouldn’t be with you, humph!" Ye Qianwen rolled her eyes at Liu Fei.
Liu Fei looked dejectedly at Ye Qianwen, his eyes full of pleading, which Ye Tianchen noticed too but chose not to comment on. His sister was grown up, and some things she needed to decide for herself. As a brother, all he could do was support her unconditionally.
"Alright, Qianwen, go and arrange the dinner. Make sure it’s sumptuous. Not only is this an important reunion dinner for our family, but I also want to properly host my friends!" Ye Tianchen smiled as he spoke to Ye Qianwen.
"Got it, brother. Don’t worry, I’ll arrange everything just right!" Ye Qianwen was also very happy. After nearly ten years without seeing her brother, Ye Qianwen had always been very close to Ye Tianchen; their sibling relationship was very strong. No matter when, they would always fully support each other!
Watching his sister Ye Qianwen walk away, Ye Tianchen suddenly felt that as her brother, it really was his responsibility to carry the family now. Over these years, his sister Ye Qianwen had truly had a hard time. Now that he was back, he definitely wouldn’t leave just like that. If his sister suffered too much, or if anything happened to their parents, for Ye Tianchen, it would be a lifelong regret. Even if he reached the Martial Arts Peak, became a Supreme Emperor, and achieved Eternal Life by becoming Immortal, he wouldn’t be at peace, and he’d regret it forever.
"Qianwen, let me help you with the arrangements. I’m the most familiar with organizing meals, hehe!" Liu Fei chimed in, trotting closely behind Ye Qianwen.
"Go away, don’t follow me. I’m cooking myself tonight. My brother’s home, and I want to reward him!" Ye Qianwen said happily.
Listening to his sister Ye Qianwen and Liu Fei’s conversation fading into the distance, Ye Tianchen truly felt touched. Nearly ten years passed in a blink, and he hadn’t expected such significant changes in his home since he left, especially the decline in his parents’ health over the past year. His sister must have been under tremendous pressure, feeling so much pain but remaining so strong. Even Ye Tianchen, as her brother, admired her deeply!
"Brother Ye, in my opinion, the problem with your parents’ health isn’t that simple!" said the man with the sword on his back, approaching Ye Tianchen.
"Old brother, you noticed too. Just now, when I shook hands with my parents, I used my own Life-bound True Energy to pull out the strange force from their bodies and absorbed it all into my own!" Ye Tianchen nodded.
"I noticed earlier that this force doesn’t seem to come from the Mortal World. It’s very likely the handiwork of a Martial Artist!" The man with the sword on his back agreed.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Ye Tianchen frowned, his eyes full of confusion.
"What’s wrong?" The man with the sword hurriedly asked.
"This force is indeed very uncanny. It wants to run amuck in my dantian. Old brother, let’s move to the pavilion ahead. I need you to be my protector and don’t let any ordinary people get close; I’m afraid it might harm innocent people!" Ye Tianchen said.
"No problem!" The man with the sword readily agreed.
Ye Tianchen and the man with the sword went to a pavilion within the Ye family’s old residence. It was a place where people normally didn’t frequent. Although the Ye family’s old residence employed many bodyguards and servants, they weren’t idle every day and wouldn’t dare to wander around at will!
Without hesitation, Ye Tianchen sat cross-legged in the pavilion, and the man with the sword leaped to the pavilion’s highest point to enjoy the scenery of the Ye family’s old residence. After all, the Ye family was now a first-class family in the Capital City, and even in the entire Huaxia Country, few families could compare. Its internal construction was certainly impressive!
At this moment, Ye Tianchen sat cross-legged in the pavilion, slowly immersing his mind. He focused his Divine Thought into his dantian and furrowed his brow. It was truly unexpected that the strange force he unintentionally pulled out from his parents using his Life-bound True Energy was so strong. In this brief moment, it wandered into his dantian and seemed intent on disrupting the Martial Arts True Qi within, even attempting to destroy his dantian.
When Ye Tianchen immersed his Divine Thought into his dantian and could perform Inner Vision, he couldn’t help but frown. Inside his dantian, a purple force appeared, resembling a small purple snake with eyes full of killing intent. Even more importantly, it carried a sense of resentment as if the grievances were substantial. At that moment, this purple snake kept wandering within Ye Tianchen’s dantian, emitting this ominous aura, even stirring the Martial Arts True Qi inside. It truly was exceptional... (To be continued.
