Yang Yi came, and before her memories of this life had awakened, she was the woman for whose love Ye Chen had tried to kill himself. It was her.
Ye Chen, how could he not recognize this woman? Because of this life, he was too familiar with her not to.
Inside the room, upon hearing of Yang Family's arrival, Ye Ao and Xia Wei's expressions immediately changed, showing great anger. One could say that all the causes and consequences were due to Yang Yi's mistakes, which had nearly cost them their only child's life in a suicide attempt. And now she had the audacity to show up at their doorstep.
Especially Ye Ao, being the City Lord and someone with a rather fierce temper, snorted coldly with a wave of his sleeve, "This young lady has some nerve showing up here now. Does she want to press her advantage or enjoy the spectacle? Servants, throw them all out for me."
Xia Wei quickly tugged at her husband's hand, signaling him to stop, and then turned to look at her son, who had just awoken on the bed, saying cautiously, "Chen'er, look, do you want to see Yang Yi..."
Although Ye Chen's mother was also very angry with Yang Yi's actions, after all, Yang Yi was still a sore point for her son—having liked her for such a long time, feelings don't just change overnight. As a mother, she had to consider her son's feelings.
Ye Chen, though still somewhat weak, nodded and said, "Let's meet. I actually do want to see her."
In truth, Ye Chen just wanted to see Yang Yi without attaching too much meaning to it. Perhaps he should even thank her for her indirect help.
But to his parents, it sounded different. They believed that Ye Chen still held a special place for Yang Yi in his heart, which made them sigh in silent resignation.
Xia Wei could only say, "If Chen'er wants to meet her, then let him. But don't get too agitated; the doctor said you're still very weak, and getting too excited isn't good for your health."
Ye Chen hummed in response, "Mother, don't worry, I won't get agitated."
The elders could only hope for the best and sighed.
The lady instructed, "Huan'er, the young master is still weak. Let him have some porridge to regain his strength before helping him to the hall. Chen'er, you can come by yourself later. Your father and I will go ahead and take down the arrogance of the Yang Family."
After finishing their words, the couple left straight away, leaving Ye Chen feeling helpless but also touched by a warmth he had never experienced in his heart before—his parents' care, something he had not had in his previous life, a different kind of love from what he had with his sister.
While eating, Ye Chen also took the time to organize the memories of this life.
The fusion of memories from both lives made him realize that in this life, he had been reborn on an unheard-of continent—Tiandu Continent.
Tiandu Continent was vast and boundless, home to hundreds small and large states, among which the Three Great Empires dominated, followed by one hundred and eight mid-ranking kingdoms and hundreds of slightly lesser marquis-states, taking up nearly half of Tiandu Continent's vast territory.
The other half of the territory was occupied by endless wilderness, where countless terrifying demon beasts dwelled, splitting the continent equally with humanity. Even the human forces did not dare to provoke the demon beast clans lightly.
Despite this, Tiandu Continent was wide enough and boundless, so vast that an ordinary person could spend ten lifetimes trying to cross it without success, proving its immensity.
The Ye Family, where Ye Chen resided, belonged to one of the one hundred and eight kingdoms—the Xiafeng Country, located in the northwestern Great Domain of the continent. Even among the mid-ranked hundred countries of Tiandu, it was a middle-to-lower-ranked kingdom with a territory stretching ten thousand miles east to west.
The Ye Family resided in a marquis city almost at the border of Xiafeng Country, known as Luofeng City.
Inside Luofeng City were three major families, dividing the city into thirds.
Among them, the most powerful was the Ye Family, where Ye Chen belonged. As the ruling family and a noble lineage consecrated through generations by the royal family, they held sway over the entire Luofeng City and acted as the envoys to oversee its vast territory.
Next in line were the Yang Family and the Xia Family. Though not as influential as the Ye Family, they were still top-tier families within Luofeng City. Other smaller powers had to bow and scrape, following their lead.
It is worth mentioning that in this world, one venerates Martial Arts cultivation and can grow increasingly powerful through cultivation, thereby possessing extraordinary strength.
Currently, the four Great Realms commonly known to the world are the Acquired, Innate, Martial God, and Heavenly God Realms.
Each realm is further divided into nine levels.
Among them, the Martial God and Heavenly God aren't precise cultivation realms; they are titles that ordinary people have never truly known about. After reaching these two realms, one can fly through the skies and move through the earth, indistinguishable from the gods of legend, hence they are referred by the people as Martial God and Heavenly God.
Naturally, the so-called Heavenly God is not the limit. Above the Heavenly God, there are even stronger beings. However, for the common folk of the Tiandu Continent, the Heavenly God Realm is already the strongest realm within their cognition.
After truly engaging in cultivation, as long as one endures rigorous training and reaches the Acquired Realm, they can possess the strength of a hundred catties and keep increasing their strength alongside their realm.
The higher the realm, the greater the strength—with some even possessing the strength of ten thousand or a hundred thousand catties.
Some truly powerful characters in the world are even capable of moving mountains and seas, possessing Great Divine Powers that set them above others, and even bringing down stars from the Outer Domain is not impossible.
In legends, there are supreme existences capable of reducing an ancient empire to dust in an instant, erasing it from the world with heaven-reaching abilities, inspiring awe in all.
Of course, these are just legends. After all, not to mention Xiafeng Country, even the entire vast and boundless Tiandu Continent has never seen such a supreme existence born through the ancient and modern times—these are records from ancient texts, belonging to the Invincible beings from the Outer Domain.
Naturally, for ordinary people, what's true and what's false is impossible to distinguish, and they often regard these accounts as mythological legends. However, it's undeniably true that one can wield great strength through cultivation.
At least, Ye Chen's father, Ye Ao, is indeed a powerful cultivator. He is the number one expert in Luofeng City, with tremendous cultivation. It is said that he is not far from the legendary Martial God Realm, and lifting a ten thousand catty boulder is nothing to him.
As for this understanding of the Martial Arts, it was basically the same as Ye Chen's previous life, except that some realm titles were slightly different, and he knew much more because in his previous life, he was a transcendent being who had surpassed the Heavenly God.
Unfortunately, he did not know where exactly the Tiandu Continent was located. According to his understanding, it was still among the Heavenly and Myriad Realms.
Because the Heavenly and Myriad Realms are too vast, even the person he was in his previous life couldn't possibly explore all of the Ten Thousand Realms, let alone in this life.
Only by becoming strong could he step out of the Tiandu Continent.
Regrettably, he now sensed his cultivation level—Acquired Third Realm!
Such a level of cultivation could only be considered slightly stronger than an ordinary person. In the Acquired Realm, the first three levels primarily focus on tempering the muscles and bones, strengthening the body, with only slightly greater strength than a normal person. It's only starting from the Fourth Level that one becomes significantly stronger.
After sensing his level of cultivation, Ye Chen couldn't help being speechless. Reaching the third level of the Acquired Realm at sixteen—without considering oneself as a cultivation failure was almost impossible.
No wonder in his memories, he was often scolded as the waste of the Ye Family; even the servants and maids didn't think much of him.
And those family members even ridiculed him openly and secretly.
Although he was the son of the City Lord and the Family Head, due to his level of cultivation and in a world where strength was revered, his status was not high.
However, one thing is worth mentioning: he was now at the Acquired Third Realm, but in his past life—
He was the youngest Innate Expert in the history of Xiafeng Country, an extraordinary talent of the Innate Realm at just thirteen years old!
