Chapter 4 Willow Eyebrows

  The sun shines in the sky, and the golden autumn sunshine lazily spills over the southern land.

  Ye Chen, who woke up early, felt the turmoil of blood in his body. Ye Chen, who was used to seeing bloody scenes in his past life, made some slight adjustments to the bloodstains on his body and then called out to the Qilin in the ring. Unfortunately, he got a response from the Qilin saying "I'm sleeping, don't disturb me!"

  Helplessly wearing the ring named Qilin, he walked out of the house. The events of last night were too unbelievable, Ye Chen had already decided to bury this matter in his heart, not even telling his beloved Lan girl.

  Lan's aunt was called away early due to some trivial matters, which made Ye Chen feel a bit helpless.

  Pushing open the door, Ye Chen slowly started practicing Tai Chi in the courtyard. After many ups and downs, Ye Chen's mood gradually calmed down.

  Just as Ye Chen was immersed in Tai Chi, a voice interrupted his thoughts. He looked up to see that the person who came was the old steward of the mansion, Ye Lin, and said: "What's the matter?"

  "Master is looking for you, I've come to invite you over." Ye Lin didn't abandon etiquette just because he was a illegitimate child, his voice was warm and composed, his well-tailored attire fully displayed the nobility of the Duke's family.

  Ye Chen nodded slightly, after all, he was still in the Ye family, and Ye Wen's words would be executed to some extent.

  He hastily changed into a brand new samurai uniform and followed Yeling to the center of the Ye family's power.

  Followed the old steward from the backyard, finally stopped outside the solemn reception hall, knocked on the door respectfully, and then gently pushed open the door.

  The hall was very spacious, and the number of people inside was not small. The few sitting at the top were Ye Wen and three elderly men with pale faces. They were the elders of the clan, and Ye Chen being kicked out of the attic was all thanks to these few people.

  To the left of the four, sat a lonely and proud Ye Tian, as well as some elite members of the family.

  On the other side, three strangers were seated, presumably these three people are today's main characters.

  Some suspicious glances swept over the three strangers, among whom was an old man wearing a black robe. The old man had a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye, with a pair of small eyes that occasionally flashed with sharp light, and from time to time, a sense of pressure emanated from him, making Ye Chen secretly vigilant.

  An old man sat next to a young girl, whose beautiful face and charming eyes were enough to attract the attention of many boys in the living room. Just as Ye Chen was sizing up the girl, the girl was also sizing up Ye Chen, with a hint of disdain and disgust flashing in her eyes.

  A cold snort came from a young man beside him, and Ye Chen only felt a surge of force rushing towards him. Ye Chen's body involuntarily retreated several steps, and if it weren't for last night's incident, this snort would have been enough to severely injure Ye Chen.

  As he passed by the young man's side, Ye Chen slowly lowered his head, a flash of murderous intent flickering in his eyes, and slowly walked towards Ye Wen on the high platform.

  "Kid, you're just going to take that lying down and not even fight back?" The voice of Huo Qilin, full of playful teasing, echoed in Ye Chen's mind.

  Ye Chen was already used to this and slightly curled his lips. With his current strength, he didn't want to die at the hands of that young man just yet. A gentleman takes revenge ten years later, not early. His past life's assassination experience told Ye Chen that several people in the arena were not easy to mess with, especially the old man from earlier.

  The young man's actions naturally fell into everyone's eyes, but no one spoke out to blame him. Ye Chen sneered at this and bowed slightly to his father, Ye Wen, on the high platform: "Father."

  Although disdainful, Ye Chen still showed a respectful expression on the surface.

  Ye Wen never glanced at Ye Chen, whispering to the old man on one side, while all the young men in the field focused their attention on that girl, including Ye Tian.

  After a few pleasantries, what several people had been waiting for finally appeared. The old man turned to Ye Wen and said: "Everyone is here, let's begin."

  "Good." Ye Wen didn't beat around the bush either, beckoning to Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, today is your engagement day with Miss Liu Mei of the Liu family. What are your thoughts?" Ye Wen seemed to be asking for his opinion but was actually hinting at him to agree.

  Look at Ye Tian occasionally glancing at himself and the girl from earlier, Ye Chen could also guess a general idea, nodding slightly, saying: "No objection!" At this moment, Ye Chen also knew why there was a hint of disgust in the eyes of the girl from earlier. Being married to a useless person is more unbearable for a proud girl like her than being killed!

  Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed across the eyes of Ye Wen and the old man. If their union were to succeed, the status of both families would undoubtedly soar.

  He glanced at the girl, casting a glance, and in that glance, the girl saw ridicule, it was indeed a ridiculing color, and he was actually being ridiculed by a waste material.

  What happened next didn't catch Ye Chen's attention, he slowly closed his eyes and began to ponder. The events of last night made the transmigrator feel unbelievable, but thinking that his bloodline could awaken, Ye Chen felt a surge of heat. Not everyone wants to be trash.

  "Ye Chen, as a dowry for your marriage, the Ye and Liu families will be giving you a piece of land." Ye Wen's voice startled Ye Chen out of her reverie.

  Ye Chen could no longer remain calm and stared at Ye Wen and the old man in disbelief, exclaiming: "Dowry? You want me to get married, how is that possible?"

  Ye Chen's reaction at this time was inevitably rude. Ye Wen's face sank, and he said lightly: "You are to be married to the Liu family, do you have any opinions?"

  Marry off! A big man marrying a woman, this would undoubtedly trample on the dignity of men. Ye Chen's face flushed with heat, disregarding the furious Huo Qilin in his mind, gritted his teeth and said: "No objection!"

  Promising is one thing, doing it is another, Ye Chen secretly sneered in his heart, what's the point of being a bastard, one day he will grasp the Ye family in his hands.

  The woman and the young man from earlier looked at him with even more disdain, for a man, dignity was most important, yet this person in front of them didn't care about dignity at all.

  "Damn it, he's ruined the reputation of all men!"

  "As expected, you're a worthless piece of trash, and yet you were once a genius. Hmph, I think you're even worse than a useless waste."

  The surrounding mocking and regretful sighs fell into Ye Chen's ears, like sharp thorns piercing his heart, making Ye Chen breathe slightly rapidly.

  Ye Chen slowly raised his head, his dark eyes scanning the surrounding peers who were mocking him with a wooden expression. A cold smile flashed at the corner of Ye Chen's mouth, one day he would trample these people under his feet.

  Hu Qi Lin also quieted down, secretly thinking to himself, "This child's intelligence is not bad!"

  Ye Wen didn't stop him either, slightly waving his hand to signal Ye Chen to leave. Ye Chen nodded slightly and was about to leave.

  "Haha, the son born to that cheap woman has quite some endurance!" Ye Tian originally wanted to see Ye Chen's angry expression, but Ye Chen's face only showed surprise and calmness, unable to resist speaking sarcastically.

  Ye Chen's figure suddenly stopped, and he didn't even glance at Ye Tian. A hint of blood color appeared in his dark eyes, staring intently at Ye Wen as he spoke word by word: "You can let people humiliate me, but my mother cannot! Remember your words today, one day I will make you pay back!"

  Having finished speaking, he left without looking back, regardless of the reactions of the people in the room.

  Strength, Ye Chen needs strength. If he had the strength, he would have killed Ye Tian today and it would be his own fault for being too weak.

  The fire qilin in the ring sensed Ye Chen's inner anger and said solemnly, "Young one, you have already obtained my seven drops of essence blood, and have the qilin bloodline. You can open up your bloodline at any moment!"

  "Can I wake up today?" Ye Chen asked eagerly.

  "Find a secluded place, today is the moment when Qilin's bloodline awakens! Let those alien people see the power of Huaxia's bloodline!" The majestic voice of Huo Qilin floated in Ye Chen's mind.
