Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

The atmosphere in the room instantly froze.

The middle-aged man with jet-black hair showed no reaction, remaining calm and composed as if it were none of his business.

The middle-aged man with half-gray hair slowly spoke: "Since Mr. Ye prefers to speak frankly, then I will speak plainly as well!"

"You killed my son, didn't you?"

Ye Chen glanced at him sideways: "I have to say, you're really something. You start by throwing a big accusation at someone. Who is your son? I don't even know who you are. Don't make baseless accusations!"

The middle-aged man with half-gray hair twitched his face slightly, but his voice remained relatively calm as he continued, "Since you're here, shouldn't you already know me? Never mind, let me introduce myself. My name is Wang Buyi, the current head of the Wang family."

Ye Chen nodded: "Yes, I can see that. It's really not easy to have gray hair in middle age!"

"Kid, speak properly. If you dare to spout nonsense again, don't blame me for slapping you!"

The young man in white approached Ye Chen aggressively, but did not make a move.

This time, the middle-aged man with jet-black hair did not stop him.

They probably felt that Ye Chen was indeed a bit deserving of a beating.

The middle-aged man with half-gray hair stared intently at Ye Chen: "You were the one who set fire to my son's villa, weren't you? You were the only one there that day. Although I don't know how you escaped, your whereabouts can't be erased!"

Ye Chen shook his head: "I don't know what you're talking about. Did you call me here just to say these baseless things? If so, then I'm leaving!"

Although he was the one who made the mistake, Ye Chen certainly wouldn't take the blame without presenting substantial evidence.

Who knows if this guy installed some kind of recording device.

Although the Wang family had no need to resort to such petty tricks given their strength, Ye Chen remained as steadfast as a rock, refusing to acknowledge the truth.

Their speculation is their business. Even if they suspect there's a 99.9% probability that Ye Chen did it, he won't admit it unless they produce that remaining 0.1% evidence.

"Mr. Ye, that's not very helpful!" The middle-aged man with half-gray hair sighed. "You must know something about the Wang family. If I really wanted to retaliate against you, I wouldn't need so much evidence. I just need to believe that you did it. So your stubbornness won't help!"

Ye Chen remained noncommittal and said calmly, "Being able to afford such a large manor and have so many people serving you shows you're quite wealthy!"

The head of the Wang family smiled: "So whether you admit it or not, it's not important to me. As long as I'm convinced it was you who did it, that's enough. However, what's done is done, and I don't want to pursue it any further!"

"Now that I've invited you here to have a calm and peaceful chat, I certainly won't hurt you, so you don't need to be so wary."

As the head of the Wang family spoke, he brewed tea and poured more tea for Ye Chen.

Ye Chen picked up his tea and took another sip: "You didn't call me here just to say some random things. Just say what you want to say, I'm quite busy!"

The head of the Wang family also picked up his teacup and took a sip: "Since Mr. Ye is so straightforward, I'll be blunt. I want your ancestral prescription, or rather, your elixir formula!"

At this point, the head of the Wang family smiled as he looked at Ye Chen.

The middle-aged man with jet-black hair also looked over, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

Ye Chen's heart stirred slightly; the other party actually knew the pill formula!

There must have been someone from the Xuanmen sect giving guidance.

The fact that the head of the Wang family could say this so openly suggests that it was this middle-aged man with jet-black hair who gave him the guidance.

The fact that the other party is a member of the Xuanmen sect is now confirmed!

Ye Chen was curious as to how the other party knew that his medicine was a pill, not an ordinary Chinese herbal medicine pill.

"You must be curious about how I'll explain the pill formula!" The head of the Wang family continued before Ye Chen could deny it.

"I know you'll definitely deny it outright, but don't rush to deny it. You might think you can fool others, but you can't fool those who know what's going on!"

"I've never heard of any gastrointestinal medicine that can cure acute gastroenteritis instantly."

"Besides, your father probably had a malignant tumor, but now he's full of energy. You can't explain that!"

"Also, when you opened your TCM clinic, the woman you saved, wasn't she given a medicinal pill as well?"

"Although you concealed it well, and ordinary people were indeed fooled by you, you can't fool everyone!"

"There are many more, but I won't list them all. Everything you've done will leave a trace."

"In the era of big data, there is, to a certain extent, no privacy to speak of!"

"Once we know all your actions and analyze them together, you will have no secrets left!"

"Therefore, I conclude that you must possess one or even more elixir formulas, and you can even refine one or two of them."

"You must have received some kind of inheritance, because you've suddenly become a completely different person in the past few months, utterly unlike your former self. Only receiving an inheritance can explain this!"

"Am I right, Mr. Ye?"

After finishing his speech, the head of the Wang family leaned back in his tea chair and stared at Ye Chen.

The words spoken by the head of the Wang family were like a heavy hammer blow; they were too straightforward, and too true...

Ye Chen would be lying if he said he wasn't shocked; he never expected that some of his secrets would be exposed so thoroughly.

This was the first time he had ever felt exposed to the public eye and had no privacy.

This feeling is undoubtedly very uncomfortable.

He never imagined he would be stripped so thoroughly one day...

It seems the Wang family has been probing his strengths and weaknesses all this time!

They even know about the changes that have occurred in him over the past few months. Are they investigating his ancestors for eight generations?

Of course, given the Wang family's strength, it wouldn't be too difficult for them to thoroughly understand someone.

It might even be as simple as saying a word, and someone would eagerly do things for the Wang family just to curry favor with them.

Ye Chen had actually been very low-key, but he still ended up being targeted without even realizing it.

Indeed, if someone rises to prominence rapidly, it's really hard for them to go unnoticed.

Unless it is outside the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements.

As long as you live in a city and have internet access, then...

Okay, okay, you know it now, so be it!

The brilliance of gold cannot be concealed by mud and sand.

The other person probably knows what color his underwear is right now.

Ye Chen was only shocked for a moment before he gradually calmed down.

Fortunately, he had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, which gave him the most basic ability to protect himself.

He didn't take the mere Wang family and the two mediocre cats in front of him seriously.

No matter how strong the storm, he was fearless.

Since the opponent has seen through my hand, let's play it openly. A royal flush plus four 2s, who can be afraid of me!

Ye Chen chuckled and looked at the Wang family head: "I must say, you're quite the storyteller. Inheritance? Are you reading a novel?"
