Yang Yi had arrived. She was the woman for whom Ye Chen, before awakening the memories of his past life, had attempted suicide for love.
How could Ye Chen not know this woman? Because of this life, he was all too familiar with her.
In the room, upon hearing that the Yang family had come, Ye Ao and Xia Wei immediately changed their expressions, showing clear anger. One could say that the entire cause and effect of this matter was Yang Yi's fault, nearly causing their only son to die by suicide. And now she actually had the nerve to come in person.
Especially Ye Ao, the father who was the city lord and a man of somewhat fiery temper, flicked his sleeve and snorted coldly: "This little girl has quite the nerve, daring to come here now. Does she want to assert dominance or watch a good show? Guards, drive them all away for this city lord."
However, Xia Wei at his side hurriedly tugged at her husband's hand, telling him to be quiet. Then she looked at their son who had just woken up on the bed and cautiously said: "Chen'er, look... do you want to see Yang Yi..."
Although as Ye Chen's mother, she was also furious at Yang Yi's actions, in the end, Yang Yi was a knot in her son's heart. He had liked her for such a long time; feelings couldn't change overnight. As a mother, she had to consider her son's feelings.
Ye Chen on the bed, though still somewhat weak, nodded and said: "I'll see her. I'd quite like to see her too."
In truth, Ye Chen's meaning was simply to see this Yang Yi, nothing more. Perhaps he even owed her some thanks for her indirect help.
But to his parents' ears, it carried a different meaning. They thought Ye Chen still couldn't forget Yang Yi, causing them to sigh silently in resignation.
Xia Wei could only say: "If Chen'er wants to see her, then let him. But don't get too emotional. The doctor said you're still very weak; excessive agitation isn't good for your health."
Ye Chen hummed in agreement: "Mother, don't worry. Your son won't get agitated."
They could only hope so. The elderly couple sighed.
The lady said: "Huan'er, the young master is still weak. First, let the young master have some porridge to replenish his strength, then help him to the main hall. Chen'er, you come on your own later. Your mother and father will go ahead first to take the Yang family down a peg."
With that, the two left directly, leaving Ye Chen feeling helpless, but also sensing a warmth in his heart he had never felt before—the care of parents, something he lacked in his previous life, a different kind of affection from that of his sister.
During the time he was eating, Ye Chen was also sorting through the various memories of this life.
The fusion of memories from two lifetimes made him understand that the place of his rebirth in this life was a continent he had never heard of—Tian Du Continent.
Tian Du Continent was vast and expansive, with hundreds of countries large and small. Among them, three great empires were the overlords of Tian Du Continent. Next were one hundred and eight medium-sized kingdoms, and then hundreds of smaller vassal states, occupying nearly half of Tian Du Continent's vast territory.
The remaining half of the territory was occupied by the Endless Desolate Forest, where countless terrifying demonic beasts resided, sharing Tian Du Continent equally with humans. Even human powers dared not provoke the demonic beast race lightly.
Even so, Tian Du Continent was sufficiently vast, boundless and immense. An ordinary person probably couldn't cross it even in ten lifetimes, showing just how expansive it was.
Among them, the Ye family Ye Chen belonged to was part of one of the one hundred and eight kingdoms—Xia Feng Kingdom, located in the northwestern great region of the continent. Among the medium-sized hundred kingdoms of Tian Du Continent, it ranked in the middle to lower tier, with an east-west span of territory reaching ten thousand li.
The Ye family was situated in a marquis-governed main city near the border region of Xia Feng Kingdom, named Luo Feng City.
In Luo Feng City, there were three great families, dividing the main city into three parts. The most powerful among them was the Ye family where Ye Chen belonged, the city lord's family, a renowned noble family enfeoffed as marquises by the royal family for generations, presiding over and managing the entire Luo Feng City, equivalent to a frontier governor.
Next were the Yang and Xia families. Though not comparable to the Ye family, they were both first-rate great families in Luo Feng City. Other smaller forces had to bow their heads and act according to their moods.
It was worth mentioning that in this world, martial cultivation was revered. One could continuously grow stronger through cultivation, thereby possessing extraordinary power.
The four major realms currently widely known to the world were: Houtian, Xiantian, Martial God, and Heavenly God.
Each realm was further divided into nine levels.
Among them, Martial God and Heavenly God were not precise cultivation realms; it was just that ordinary people generally didn't know the actual realm titles. Moreover, after reaching these two realms, one could fly through the skies and burrow into the earth, no different from legendary deities, hence they were called Martial God and Heavenly God.
Naturally, the so-called Heavenly God was not the limit. Above Heavenly God, there were even stronger beings. It was just that relative to the ordinary common folk of this Tian Du Continent, the Heavenly God realm was already the strongest realm within their cognition.
Once one truly began cultivation, after some arduous training, upon reaching the Houtian realm, one could possess immense strength of a hundred jin, which would continuously increase along with the rise in realm.
The higher the realm, the stronger the power. There were even people with ten thousand jin, a hundred thousand jin of strength.
Some truly powerful figures in the world could even move mountains and shift seas, possessing great supernatural powers that surpassed ordinary people. It wasn't impossible for them to even strike down stars from beyond the heavens.
It was rumored that there were even truly peerless supreme existences capable of leveling an ancient great country to the ground in an instant, wiping it from the face of the world. Such methods were truly heaven-defying, inspiring awe and fear.
Of course, these were all legends. After all, not to mention Xia Feng Kingdom, even the entire vast and immense Tian Du Continent had never given birth to such supreme existences throughout history. Those were recorded in ancient texts, beings from beyond the heavens.
Naturally, for ordinary people, the truth of these matters was unclear; they mostly read them as myths and unofficial histories. However, it was absolutely true that through cultivation, one could grasp powerful strength.
At the very least, Ye Chen's father, Ye Ao, was a powerful cultivator, the number one expert of Luo Feng City. His cultivation was formidable, rumored to be not far from the legendary Martial God realm. Lifting a ten-thousand-jin boulder was nothing to him.
His understanding of these martial paths was basically identical to that of his previous life, only some realm titles were slightly different. Moreover, he understood more and in greater detail because in his previous life, he was a peerless powerhouse who surpassed the Heavenly God realm.
It was just a pity he didn't know where this Tian Du Continent was located. According to his understanding, it was still within the myriad realms.
It was just that the myriad realms were too vast. Even someone as powerful as his previous self couldn't possibly traverse all realms, let alone in this life.
Only by becoming strong could he leave this Tian Du Continent.
Unfortunately, sensing his current cultivation level—Houtian Third Level!
Such cultivation could only be said to be slightly stronger than an ordinary mortal. Within the Houtian realm, the first three levels mainly focused on tempering bones and muscles, strengthening the body. Strength was only slightly greater than ordinary people. Only starting from the fourth level would one become truly stronger.
Upon sensing this level of cultivation, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel speechless. Reaching only Houtian Third Level at twenty-six years old—it was almost the same as being a cultivation cripple.
No wonder in his memories, he was often called the Ye family's trash. Even those servants and maids didn't think much of him.
Those clansmen even openly mocked and ridiculed him.
Although he was the city lord and family head's biological son, because of his cultivation level and in this world where strength was revered, his status wasn't high.
However, there was one point worth mentioning: his current self was only Houtian Third Level, but his former self—
The youngest Xiantian realm expert in Xia Feng Kingdom's history, a peerless genius who reached the Xiantian realm at thirteen!
