After being imprisoned in a women's prison for five years, I became a master of both medicine a

Ye Tianfeng's sudden remark sent a chill down Jin Daorong's spine.

As he was racking his brains, trying to figure out how to fool Ye Tianfeng, Ye Chen spoke with a hint of helplessness.

"Alright, old man Jin, Grandpa already knows I'm pretending to be stupid."

Kim Do-young paused for two seconds, then gave an awkward laugh.

"Haha, that's right. Actually, I had already cured my master the day I arrived in Jiangcheng."

"Master?"

Ye Tianfeng's gaze swept back and forth between the two faces, his expression full of suspicion.

Kim Do-young calls Ye Chen "Master"?

He knew that his grandson had loved studying medicine since he was a child. Could it be that his medical skills were even better than those of the master Jin Daorong?

"Oh dear, look at my mouth."

Kim Do-young slapped himself before laughing awkwardly.

"Although I am an old man, Young Master Ye is indeed my master. He taught me many ancient medical techniques that have been lost."

Ye Chen quickly tried to smooth things over, "I just happened to find an ancient medical book and learned a little bit about it."

Ye Tianfeng didn't dwell on this matter. What he was more curious about was where Ye Chen had gone during the five years he was missing.

Ye Chen chuckled and told him the truth.

"Grandpa, would you believe me if I said I spent five years in a prison with ten thousand female prisoners?"

"You grandson, if you don't want to talk, you don't have to. Don't make up such an outrageous story to fool your grandpa."

As Ye Tianfeng spoke, he slapped Ye Chen on the head.

Ye Chen was speechless. Why didn't Ye Tianfeng believe him when he told the truth?

Could it be that the grandfather and grandson have developed a crisis of trust?

Upon learning that Ye Chen had remained conscious throughout, many of Ye Tianfeng's doubts were resolved.

However, he still had to ask the questions he needed to ask.

"Good grandson, all those things that have happened in Jiangcheng recently—the Sun family being wiped out, Tan Zhongqi and Zheng Youliang dying together, Han Shichang being humiliated at the Gu Group's press conference, the unfreezing of the Gu Group's accounts tonight, and all those other messy things—were all your doing, weren't they?"

"That's right, I did it all," Ye Chen readily admitted.

"Hahaha......"

Ye Tianfeng laughed loudly for a long time, as if he wanted to release all the grief and frustration that had been building up for five years.

He patted Ye Chen's shoulder hard, "You're such a good grandson, you did a great job, you've finally vented a lot of the anger in my chest."

Just thinking about the ugly looks on those old guys' faces when they hear this news makes me so happy.

Ye Chen didn't want to spoil Ye Tianfeng's excitement, but there were some things he had to say.

He said in a low voice, "Grandpa, the series of actions that Qianqian and I have taken in Jiangcheng these past few days have attracted the attention of the enemy in Longdu."

According to my information, they sent a man named Blood Shadow with a large number of experts to Jiangcheng, and they'll probably make their move against our Ye family tonight.

I thought Ye Tianfeng would be nervous after hearing this news, but to my surprise, the old man sneered a few times and spoke with an air of dominance.

"Do these bastards really think the Ye family is easy to bully? Since they want to wipe us out, then I'll show them what the foundation of a century-old family really is."

With the male members of the Ye family dying one after another in battle, how could Ye Tianfeng not know that someone was secretly targeting the Ye family?

However, those people were so secretive that he couldn't find anything despite his covert investigation.

Although the entire Azure Dragon War Zone always obeyed the Ye family, there was no concrete evidence, and they didn't know who the murderer was, so he had no way to use his strength.

He eventually managed to find some clues, but almost all the male members of the Ye family had already died.

Moreover, at that time, the Sakura Kingdom and its parent country, the Eagle Kingdom, formed a joint fleet and conducted military exercises every day in the high seas near the Great Xia. The entire Qinglong War Zone was on high alert and under tremendous pressure.

If he were to mobilize the army at this time and demand an explanation from Longdu, it would not only destabilize the country but could also lead to a foreign invasion.

Without much consideration, he chose national righteousness over the other option.

This is also the reason why the Ye family has upheld the great cause of protecting the country and putting the people of Great Xia first for generations for the past hundred years.

The situation is different now.

Perhaps seeing that most of the Ye family members were dead and could no longer cause any trouble, their enemies could no longer hold back and began to emerge one by one.

After five years of development, the international situation has changed dramatically. Great Xia has risen, Eagle Kingdom has declined, and Sakura Kingdom has experienced soaring domestic prices and frequent natural disasters, making it powerless to deal with Great Xia.

The Azure Dragon War Zone can now free up its resources to purge the pests within the Great Xia Dynasty.

Most importantly, his beloved grandson, Ye Chen, the number one prodigy of the Great Xia Dynasty, has returned!

The car sped through the night, with Ye Chen and his grandson Ye Tianfeng exchanging information.

Ye Chen told Ye Tianfeng the results of the interrogation of Han Shichang, Song Yingdong, and Nangong Qi.

However, Blood Shadow and Ghost Fiend were just code names, and they were just small-time characters pushed to the forefront. Ye Tianfeng had never heard of them before.

For generations, the Cherry Blossom Kingdom has coveted the Great Xia. In the vast mountains of Miao territory, there are thousands of factions, large and small, and neither of them can determine who the real enemy is.

Finally, there is the Truth Cult.

"Grandpa, according to Nangong Qi's account, the Truth Cult seems to be looking for something that is somewhat related to dragon energy."

Thinking of Nangong Qi's words, he found it a little funny, but he still told Ye Tianfeng.

"Nangong Qi said they're looking for the Dragon Balls; once they collect all seven, they can summon Shenron..."

Unexpectedly, Ye Tianfeng's expression turned solemn, and he muttered to himself.

"So, they really are after those few beads from the Ye family?"

Ye Chen was instantly stunned. "Not Grandpa, but there really are things like Dragon Balls?"

Just then, the car drove into the Ye family's gate and stopped.

"Ah Chen, today Grandpa will show you the true foundation that the Ye family has accumulated over a century."

Ye Tianfeng asked Jiang Zhiruo to take Jin Daorong back to rest, while he himself took Ye Chen and headed towards the Ye family ancestral hall on the back mountain.

The scale of the Ye Family Ancestral Hall can be described as grand.

This is a seven-story ancient building that has been passed down for over a century.

The reason it is so large is that it not only enshrines the ancestors of the Ye family, but also the spirits of thousands of soldiers from the Southeast War Zone.

Some of them were renowned war gods who struck fear into the hearts of foreign tribes, while others were elite soldiers who single-handedly withstood a frenzied attack from an enemy thousands of times their size for three days and three nights.

But the majority of those ranked are ordinary soldiers in the Azure Dragon War Zone who also gave their lives for the Great Xia, yet remained unknown and didn't even leave their names behind.

The people of Daxia have a more fitting name for this ancestral hall – Hall of Heroes and Spirits.

Upon entering the courtyard of the ancestral hall, without Ye Tianfeng's instruction, Ye Chen took the initiative to pick up three incense sticks as thick as a baby's arm, lit them on the ever-burning lamp in front of a stone wall engraved with the names of martyrs, and inserted them into the incense burner.

Then he knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed three times to the ancestors of the Ye family enshrined in the ancestral hall, as well as to all the heroes who sacrificed for the Great Xia.

This is the rule for entering the Ye family ancestral hall, which has long been ingrained in the bones of every Ye family member.

After Ye Tianfeng finished kowtowing to Ye Chen, he stood up and said with a smile.

"Come on, Grandpa will show you some good stuff."

As he spoke, he used a very peculiar technique to push against the dozen or so pillars supporting the ancestral hall.

However, something magical happened.

Two stone doors, bathed in soft light, suddenly appeared on the wall next to the main gate of the ancestral hall, which had been empty before.

"Keep up."

Ye Tianfeng turned to look at Ye Chen, who was still in shock, and then pushed open the door and went inside.
