“But Mr. Ye…”

Zhu Ya’s words were cut off when she discovered that Ye Chen’s injuries were all gone.

Not only that, his aura had also become stronger. His entire body exuded the feeling of an expert who could conquer the world.

“Mr. Ye, you actually broke through?”

Ye Chen nodded and said, “It’s four o’clock in the morning now. You should sleep a little longer. Tomorrow morning, we’ll leave Thousand Peaks Mountain.”

Seven in the morning.

There was a knock on the door.

Ye Chen did not need to guess to know that it was Master Jingdao, so he opened the door.

Master Jingdao was holding a jade bottle in his hand. He glanced at Ye Chen and shook it gently.

“This is the medicinal concoction that 1 prepared for you yesterday. It should be able to speed up your body’s recovery. Moreover…”

Before he could finish, his voice suddenly halted, and a look of surprise and shock was evident on his face.

This kid’s injuries had vanished!

What was going on?

He knew better than anyone else that such injuries would not recover without a week’s worth of treatment…

But that did not explain what he was seeing in front of him!

He quickly suppressed the shock in his heart and smiled.

“It seems that I have underestimated you. You must have many secrets to be able to recover in such a short time.”

Ye Chen cupped his hands and thanked him again.

“Thank you for saving me, Master Jingdao. If it weren’t for you yesterday, 1 would have died yesterday.”

Master Jingdao put away the jade bottle and said with a smile, “That’s not true. Although 1 was inside the temple all this while, 1 know exactly what happened outside. You suppressed so many experts by yourself, so you’re definitely not an ordinary person. It should not be so easy to kill you.”

“Even if I didn’t do anything, I believe that you would still be able to escape.”

“Right, I already ordered people to spread the news this morning that I took away the treasure you obtained last night. This way, you will face fewer problems in the future.”

“Those scoundrels only know how to bully the weak and fear the strong. They won’t dare to bother me about it. This is the only thing I can do for you now.”

At this moment, Ye Chen was stunned.

The two of them were not related, so why did Master Jingdao help him?

Most importantly, he had learned from those experts earlier that Master Jingdao’s current strength was very likely worthy of being ranked within the top five of Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings.

Why would such a legendary figure care about a junior like him?

Everything was too strange, so Ye Chen could not help but suspect his motives.

As if sensing Ye Chen’s confusion, Master Jingdao took out a jade pendant from his pocket.

“I know you’re suspicious, so 1 won’t hide it anymore. Ye Chen, do you recognize this jade pendant?”

Ye Chen’s gaze fell on the jade pendant and his expression changed.

This jade pendant belonged to his mother!

“Why is this jade pendant with you?”

His tone of voice was extremely serious.

Master Jingdao walked in a certain direction.

“Come with me.”

The two of them then arrived at a courtyard in the temple. There was a pavilion in the middle with a couplet written on both sides.

Perhaps it was because of the passage of time, but the couplet was in tatters. However, the handwriting could still be seen.

Ye Chen’s expression turned even stranger. These words were also clearly written by his mother.

“Ye Chen, I’ve known your mother for more than thirty years. At that time, 1 hadn’t entered the grandmaster rankings. At that time, 1 was just an unremarkable martial artist, and my situation was worse than yours.”

“Your mother helped me. Because she did not like cultivation, but had access to the Jiang family’s cultivation resources, she secretly gave me some cultivation resources, which made me who I am today.”

“I’m only helping you now to repay the favor from back then. Your mother is really a very kind person.”

“Seven years ago, your parents came to see me. At that time, I had already made a name for myself. They gave me this jade pendant because they thought that something would happen to the Ye family in the future. They hoped that if something happened to the Ye family one day, you would be able to survive.”

“They also wanted me to help you. Not to embark on the path of martial arts, but at least to give you the ability to protect yourself.”

“After the Cloud Lake Manor incident, I went to East Coin Lake to look for you, but I didn’t find you. Later on, 1 wanted to avenge the Ye family, but when I started to investigate the Cloud Lake Manor incident, 1 gave up. I could only quietly cultivate in seclusion and make myself stronger. That was the first time in these ten years that 1 felt so small.”

“Now, I’m strong enough to become your master. I’ll teach you everything I’ve learned in my lifetime. Are you willing to be my last disciple?”

Everything was clear, and Ye Chen finally understood why the other party had intervened.

It turned out that his parents had already prepared everything for him.

Master Jingdao thought that Ye Chen would agree, but Ye Chen said, “Senior, I appreciate your kindness, but I’m already in a sect.”

He refused without hesitation.

Master Jingdao was startled, and his face was filled with surprise. However, after a few seconds, he regained his senses and nodded.

“In that case, I won’t force you. However, remember that no matter what happens in the future, I’m willing to help you again.”

“Senior, I only have one question now. Do you know where Lin Juelong is?” Ye Chen asked seriously.

When he heard that name, Master Jingdao’s expression turned strange. He had not expected Ye Chen to have actually discovered the true identity of that person!

He knew that Ye Chen wanted revenge, but with his current strength, what could this kid accomplish? Even if Ye Chen knew the information, it would only harm him.

In the end, Master Jingdao shook his head.

“I only know that the Lin family is not to be trifled with. Ye Chen, I know that you’re eager to take revenge, but before you enter the top ten of Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings, don’t go looking for him. This is not a suggestion, but a warning.”

Ye Chen knew that he would not be able to get anything else out of Master Jingdao, so he cupped his hands and prepared to leave.

“Senior, I still have something to do, so 1 won’t disturb you any longer. I’ll come back and thank you another day.”

After saying that, he called Zhu Ya and asked her to bring her things over.

Before he left, Ye Chen thought of something and took out an exquisite small box from his pocket. He handed it to Master Jingdao and said, “Please take this gift as a token of gratitude for saving us yesterday.”

Master Jingdao did not think too much about it. He looked at Ye Chen with a complicated expression and took the item.

“Ye Chen, I’ll take the item, but I hope you’ll listen to my advice and avoid looking for Lin Juelong until you’re ready..”
