[Seeking rewards!]

"It’s dawn, get up!"

"It’s dawn, get up!"

"Get up, exercise your body!"

"Cultivate, cultivate, cultivate yourself..." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Half asleep, Ye Tianchen heard a man’s voice occasionally passing by his villa’s entrance, and it was loud, not knowing what he was up to. Ye Tianchen thought today he would be awakened by Liu Rumei or Ye Qianwen, but it was a man’s voice that woke him!

Yawning, Ye Tianchen looked at the window, noticed only faint sunlight coming in, it seemed to just be dawn. Looking at the clock on the wall, it was only seven o’clock. Who was making so much noise, did someone in the Ye family mansion have such audacity?

Groggy, Ye Tianchen crawled out of bed, hearing footsteps, he walked to the window and looked outside. He saw a guy in sportswear passing by his entrance, shouting loudly, "Get up, exercise your body..."

"Hey, you kid, stop right there. What are you yelling about early in the morning? Are you going to let people sleep?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but speak with annoyance to the running guy below.

"Hehe, brother-in-law, life is in motion, the year’s plan is in spring, and the day’s plan is in the morning!" Liu Fei this kid chuckled and said.

It turned out that the one causing a ruckus early in the morning was Liu Fei. Ye Tianchen felt this kid was doing it on purpose, passing by his door and shouting, how could he sleep like this?

"You kid, go yell somewhere else, don’t pass by here anymore, or I’ll make you look bad." Ye Tianchen said fiercely, glaring at Liu Fei.

"Brother-in-law, that’s not right. You’re a master, can you understand the feelings of someone who wants to become a master?" Liu Fei asked with some displeasure.

"Scram!" Ye Tianchen cursed without curiosity.

Liu Fei chuckled, continued to jog forward, Ye Tianchen yawned, turned back to bed to sleep. Last night, he researched the five Divine Swords he had obtained, and when he fell asleep, it was already three or four in the morning. He had only slept for three or four hours, and was awakened by Liu Fei, so Ye Tianchen was naturally unhappy, wanting to continue sleeping and replenishing his Essence, Energy, and Spirit!

For a Martial Artist, especially a powerful one, even if they never sleep in their life, with Martial Arts True Qi sustaining them, it’s no problem, just like Ye Tianchen can live without eating a meal his entire life and won’t starve. These are the things that make him different from ordinary people once he has Divine Skills. But Ye Tianchen was used to sleeping and eating, finding no harm in doing so. He could enjoy rest and delicious food, so why not?

"Get up, you lazy pigs..."

Unexpectedly, Ye Tianchen lay in bed not long before hearing Liu Fei’s shouting again, angrily jumping up from bed, going to the window and looking at Liu Fei below, saying, "You really want to get beaten up?"

"Oh, don’t mention it, I already got beaten!" Liu Fei pouted, showing the back of his head to Ye Tianchen, revealing two swollen lumps.

"Great, who did that? Well done!" Ye Tianchen chuckled and said.

"Brother-in-law, you’re gloating too much. This is my sister and your sister’s doing. It still hurts now, boohoo!" Liu Fei said with a crying face.

Clearly, Liu Fei’s racket early in the morning not only irritated Ye Tianchen, but also those like Liu Rumei and Ye Qianwen, beauties needing beauty sleep. They were most annoyed, even wishing to kill Liu Fei, tie him up, and throw him in the lake. This was all Liu Fei’s fault, a self-inflicted consequence!

"Kid, stop shouting about it, go to the gym to exercise, otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll die young!" Ye Tianchen said seriously, looking at Liu Fei.

"Brother-in-law, I don’t believe this at all. With my strength, ordinary people really can’t do anything to me. So, rest assured and leave Qianwen to me, I’ll take good care of her for a lifetime!" Liu Fei said with a simple smile.

"That’s between you and my sister, I won’t interfere. As for who Qianwen chooses, I’ll respect her decision. As her brother, my responsibility is that if anyone dares to bully my sister, I’ll kill them!" Ye Tianchen said earnestly.

"Really? So serious... Then I’ll continue running and exercising!" Liu Fei said with a cheeky smile.

Ye Tianchen glanced at Liu Fei, suddenly grabbed a small stone from the flowerpot on the windowsill, and threw it at Liu Fei. The speed wasn’t very fast, nor was the force very strong; Ye Tianchen had it under control. Otherwise, with the force of that little stone, it could pierce through a mountain!

Whoosh!

But when the small stone in Ye Tianchen’s hand flew towards Liu Fei, Ye Tianchen thought he could teach Liu Fei a lesson. Surprisingly, Liu Fei had a small stone in his hand too, which flew out as well. The two stones collided and both fell to the ground. This really surprised Ye Tianchen; he hadn’t expected Liu Fei’s skill to be this good and his speed so quick. Even though he used only a little force, it wouldn’t be easy for an ordinary person to dodge it; it wasn’t a simple task!

"Wow, you’ve made quite a bit of progress!" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but laugh.

"Hehe, brother-in-law, I truly want to learn from you, I truly want to become stronger so I can protect Qianwen. How could I not become stronger?" Liu Fei said, clenching his fists.

"Stop showing off in front of me, kid. Your technique just now isn’t simple, so someone must have taught you, right?" Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and asked.

"Hehe, no, absolutely not, I worked hard to learn it myself, I’m self-taught!" Liu Fei laughed and denied.

"It must be that old buddy who taught you, otherwise, with your little understanding, it’s impossible to have such good skills. It’s a pity you haven’t fully mastered it yet!" Ye Tianchen shook his head.

Hearing what Ye Tianchen said, Liu Fei was stunned. He hadn’t expected Ye Tianchen to guess it was the knife-wielding man who taught him. Indeed, Liu Fei initially wanted to apprentice himself to Ye Tianchen to learn skills from him, but Ye Tianchen didn’t agree. Later, Liu Fei found out that the knife-wielding man was also very skilled, so he frequently went to disturb him and often brought good wine and food. Though the knife-wielding man didn’t help Liu Fei with Foundation Establishment to become a martial artist or start cultivation, he did teach Liu Fei some simple techniques, and Liu Fei had some understanding. It didn’t take him long to learn!

"Brother-in-law, I just haven’t mastered it yet. Could you give me a few pointers?" Liu Fei quickly asked.

"Kid... wait until I’m free. But I’ll tell you, many people yearn for power, yet the greater a person’s power, the greater the responsibility, and you’ll encounter more issues. Often those with enormous power don’t necessarily have it good, quite the opposite, they may not live well at all!" Ye Tianchen said seriously.

"Hmm, thank you, brother-in-law!" Liu Fei said happily.

Ye Tianchen shook his head and ignored this kid. He thought about what he had just said to Liu Fei and about revealing his identity and the world’s true perspective to his parents and sister today. What would their reactions be? And he would present them with two choices: First, continue living in the Mortal World; second, follow Ye Tianchen to the Ancient Martial World, to the Martial Arts World, where they would also become martial artists.

For Ye Tianchen, he naturally hoped for the latter because it would mean he could spend more time with the important people in his life, which he would never give up. However, Ye Tianchen would respect his parents’ choice. After all, everyone has their own life; perhaps they’d be happier living in the Mortal World. But it’s also something Ye Tianchen couldn’t imagine, as his parents are old. According to an ordinary person’s lifespan, there isn’t much time left, maybe twenty years at most. Twenty years might be long for a regular person, but for a martial artist, it’s scarcely worth mentioning.

The Martial Arts World is brutal and bloody, anything can happen. Especially when the Martial Arts World falls into chaos and Earth is exposed, all living beings are insignificant and need to struggle within it. Even Ye Tianchen, like a mayfly, needs to strive and grow stronger. If his parents remain in the Mortal World, once Ye Tianchen leaves, he might never see them again, because he cannot predict his future. Many things for all living beings have no extra choices.

"If they choose to stay in the Mortal World, I have to find the Immortal Elixir as quickly as possible to extend their life so that when I become powerful and return from the battles, I can still see them and have a solid foundation. If they choose to join me in the Ancient Martial World, I will also strive to make them live long lives. Loneliness lasting through the ages, the tragedy of being alone at the moment of transformation into a corpse, I won’t let that happen to me!" Ye Tianchen said to himself, clenching his fists tightly.

Knock, knock, knock!

Just then, Ye Tianchen’s room door was knocked on, and Liu Fei shouted loudly from outside, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, wake up..." (To be continued.
