Chapter 124: Building the Mansion

  Ye Chen returned home to find his parents sitting in the courtyard with serious faces, waiting for him. Liu Yuer and Ye Tong were nowhere to be seen at this time, and he asked with a puzzled face: "Father, mother, what's wrong? Where did Yuer and Tongtong go?"

  Ye Tong didn't respond to Ye Chen's words, instead he furrowed his brow and asked: "Chen Er, tell me the truth, you've only been back for a few days, how do you know the lord of Blue Rain City?"

  Ye Chen smiled slightly, knowing that his parents asked this because they were worried about him. He immediately spoke with a moved expression: "Father and mother, you two don't need to worry, Chen has grown up and understands these things!"

  "It's best this way, you're not young anymore! As the only male in our family line, I have only two children, you and Tongtong. Tongtong is a girl and will eventually get married and leave us. You are the only descendant of the Ye family's three generations, so you must be careful!" Ye Tong stood up, walked to Ye Chen's side, and patted his shoulder heavily, speaking with deep concern.

  "En!" Ye Chen responded with a sound, and immediately nodded firmly at his own father.

  At this time, a large number of scouts suddenly emerged in Blue Rain City and quickly rushed towards their respective directions.

  In the luxurious mansion within Blue Rain City, a scout knelt respectfully on the ground in front of the elder sitting above him and reported: "Master, today the city master went to Ye Village outside the city and was extremely friendly with a young peasant boy!"

  The old man's eyebrows furrowed tightly at once!

  The old man in front of him was named Ouyang Mu, the current head of the Ouyang family in Blue Rain City! This person is ruthless and cunning, with a keen eye for opportunity. Originally just an ordinary merchant, he used various means to build the Ouyang family into what it is today, capable of rivaling the city lord. He himself possesses the strength of seven layers of yuan dan, making him the second most powerful expert in Blue Rain City, after Lan Kuangfeng!

  Ouyang Mu said in a deep voice: "What's going on after all? Tell me slowly!"

  "Report to the master, today early in the morning, a group of guards angrily went to Yejia village outside the city to find trouble with a young man named Ye Chenqing. Who knew that this person had a cultivation of gathering energy twice, and struck back at everyone! Just then, the city lord also arrived there. As soon as he arrived, the city lord directly chatted with Ye Chen, addressing him as brother. Later, Ye Chen killed all the guards in front of the city lord, and then entered the courtyard with the city lord, their faces intimate!"

  "Ye Chen?" Ouyang Mu was lost in thought as he listened to this unfamiliar name, thinking to himself: Who is this person? Judging from Lan Kuangfeng's short-tempered personality, this person actually killed the one who hurt him right in front of his face and yet he didn't get angry. This person must have an extremely strong background!

  A moment later, Ouyang Mu ordered the people below: "Go and find out who this person is! Also, tell those useless things at home not to provoke this person, it's not time to contend with Lan Kuangfeng yet!"

  "Yes!"

  .......

  The same thing happened in many mansions, but people's reactions were different. Some aristocratic families had already begun to prepare thick gifts and went to visit this so-called Ye Chen...

  ......

  Ye Jia Village, in the courtyard of Ye Chen's house, Ye Chen lay leisurely on a rocking chair, enjoying a massage from Liu Yu'er behind him. His eyes were distracted as he gazed at the white clouds drifting across the sky, feeling extremely carefree and content!

  "Brother Chen, why not bring the two elders to live in the city? The conditions in the city are better than here!" Liu Yuer asked softly while gently massaging Ye Chen's shoulders with both hands.

  Ye Chen listened to Liu Yuer's words, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he let out a sigh, saying helplessly: "I've already told my parents about this matter, but they just can't bear to part with that place! I don't know what to do either!"

  Liu Yu'er nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then smiled faintly, saying: "Since the two elders don't want to leave, why can't we build another mansion here? I see that your house is located in the deepest part of Ye Village, and the back of the courtyard is already outside Ye Village. Why not expand it here?"

  "Really!" Ye Chen's face lit up with a smile, and he slapped his thigh heavily before standing up abruptly. He turned around and gave Liu Yuer a fierce kiss, exclaiming excitedly: "Yuer, you're really too clever! It's settled then! I'll go discuss it with my parents!"

  Then, Ye Chen directly ran towards the house. He had always been worried that after he left, he didn't know when he would come back next time, and by then his parents would be old. If he continued to live here, he wouldn't feel at ease either. Now, Liu Yuer's one sentence had solved his worries about what was behind him!

  Liu Yuer watched Ye Chen hurry away and smiled slightly, then stood still waiting for Ye Chen.

  "What? Build a new house?" Ye Tong looked at Ye Xin with a puzzled expression, then turned to Ye Chen.

  Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "Father, it's not a house! It's a mansion! Our family doesn't live in the innermost part, does it? Behind the courtyard is empty land, which no longer belongs to Ye Village. I plan to build a mansion there, so in the future, you will be comfortable living here!"

  "How much money will that cost?! We've been living in this old house for over twenty years, don't waste the money!" Ye Xin said with a frown.

  "It's nothing, I have plenty of money, we don't need to worry about this. What you two elders are saying is that you're not willing to live in the city, but after I stay for a few months, I'll also be returning to Lianyun Sect. At that time, I won't be at ease leaving you two behind! If we build a mansion, then I can find some people to take care of you!"

  Yechen saw that his parents disagreed and hastily said.

  Ye Tong glanced at Ye Xiang and then said to Ye Chen: "Chen Er, is it really necessary to build a mansion?"

  Ye Chen saw that his father also had this idea and hastily said: "Anyway, we're not leaving here, so why not live comfortably?"

  Upon hearing this, Ye Tong let out a deep breath, nodded his head, looked around the room and said in a soft voice: "Actually, I was planning to renovate this place anyway. After all, this old house has been lived in for a long time and is now worn out!"

  Ye Chen listened to his father's agreement and immediately looked at his mother in a hurry, although it was usually his father who was in charge of the household, but now that they were going to build a new mansion, if his mother didn't agree, it would probably not be built.

  Ye Xiang looked at Ye Chen and shifted his gaze back to himself, then sighed and said: "Your father has already agreed, what can I say!"

  Ye Chen's face lit up with joy, and he immediately said: "Since that's the case, you can just wait at home, I'll take care of this matter. I'll go to the city with Yu'er right now to find some craftsmen, and we'll start tomorrow!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen turned around and rushed out.

  Ye Tong looked at Ye Chen's hurried appearance and sighed, saying: "You're already so big, but you're still not stable!"

  "Weren't you like that when you were young too? Now you still have the face to say that about Chen Er!" Ye Xian said with a smile, casting a sideways glance at Ye Tong.

  Ye Tong couldn't help but smile wryly and said: "We're already an old couple, why are you still hitting me?"

  "Haha!"

  ....

  Ye Chen ran out of the house and directly to Liu Yu'er's face, excitedly saying: "Yu'er, Father and Mother have agreed, let's go find some craftsmen in town now, and start building tomorrow! This way, it should be all built before we leave!"

  Liu Yuer smiled slightly at Ye Chen and replied: "Okay, I'll go with you!"
