"Still unwilling to answer my call? Do you really hate your dad that much?" Xu Guanlin sighed and was ready to hang up.

"Hmm?" Xu Guanlin's eyebrows raised as the call connected.

"Qingling, are you still mad at dad?" Xu Guanlin sighed deeply.

"…" The person on the other end of the line fell silent, seemingly contemplating what to say.

"My good daughter, dad was wrong about the past…" Xu Guanlin tried to express his remorse, but suddenly a voice came through the phone and cut him off.

"Hello, uncle, Qingling is not here." It was a man, a very young man.

"Uh, my daughter is not there?" Xu Guanlin was taken aback.

"Yes."

"Who are you?" Xu Guanlin frowned. "The number I dialed, that's my daughter's landline, are you at my daughter's house?"

Xu Qingling had suffered a great deal emotionally and was entirely vulnerable when a strange man appeared in her home, which made Xu Guanlin unavoidably suspicious.

"Hello, uncle, I am Qingling's boyfriend."

The young man's voice came through the phone, humble and polite, but Xu Guanlin's face darkened. Wasn't her daughter waiting for that person? When did she get a boyfriend?

"What's your name, and how did you get to know my daughter?" Xu Guanlin asked with displeasure, a hint of interrogation in his tone.

"My name is Ye Chen, I met Qingling at work," Ye Chen answered his potential father-in-law's questions.

"Ye Chen, what's your position? What do you do?" Xu Guanlin thought the name sounded familiar but couldn't immediately recall what the name signified.

"I'm not entirely clear on what rank I hold now, but my military rank should at least be no lower than a general. As for what I do… my main job is to fight and boost morale, something like that… Yeah, I think that's it."

Ye Chen was stumped by these two questions himself; he wasn't very clear about his position but was sure it was a leadership role, so for the moment, he considered himself a general... As for his work? Ye Chen couldn't remember what else he did besides fighting...

"…"

Ye Chen's bizarre response left Xu Guanlin temporarily astonished. Wait, what did the young man just say his name was?

"Ye Chen?" Xu Guanlin's hand was shaking as he held the phone.

"Uncle, you finally remember my name. Qingling must have mentioned me to you, right?" Ye Chen said with a smile.

"You, you really are Ye Chen!" Xu Guanlin was thunderstruck.

The reason why Xu Guanlin wanted to call his daughter was that he had received a message that the supreme power who had disappeared three years ago had returned.

Xu Guanlin wanted to ask Xu Qingling if the supreme power that had come back was Ye Chen...

But now, there was no need to ask his daughter, since he was already on the phone with Ye Chen.

"I am Ye Chen, could anyone else possibly impersonate me?" Ye Chen said.

"Ah, no, of course not." Xu Guanlin was so nervous his tongue tied itself into knots, his mind a complete mess, unsure of what to say next.

Xu Guanlin could recite all the information about Ye Chen from memory and was very familiar with this young supreme power, but when they finally talked on the phone, Xu Guanlin was still nervous.

This young man is truly remarkable; the some of Ye Chen's exploits could compile into legendary tales!

"Uncle, do you have something you want to say to me? Don't worry, I won't hang up the phone. Take a sip of water, and we can talk slowly," Ye Chen said.

"..." Xu Guanlin swallowed his saliva and took several deep breaths, collecting his emotions.

"Ye Chen, when did you come back?" Xu Guanlin tried to sound casual, as if the question just popped into his head.

"I just got back today," Ye Chen replied.

The fact that Ye Chen had disappeared was common knowledge, so there was no need to probe back and forth.

"It's good that you're back!" Xu Guanlin said with inexplicable meaning.

"That, Ye Chen, you've been away for three years. What were you up to? Qingling has been waiting painfully for you!" Xu Guanlin pleaded on behalf of his daughter.

"I didn't do much, just went and slaughtered a few Land Gods. Those people were just too good at running away, so the hunt lasted for three years," Ye Chen started to bluff.

"Ah, you were on a mission, remember to stay safe," Xu Guanlin started to quietly wipe sweat upon hearing "slaughter Land Gods."

"Uncle, rest assured, I've learned a few divine skills now, and my cultivation is no longer below the Dragon Head's. I just got into a fight with the Dragon Head a moment ago," Ye Chen said in his usual shocking way.

"Ye Chen, the Dragon Head is Huaxia's Guardian God; don't offend Her Excellency!" Xu Guanlin's hand trembled, nearly tossing the phone away. His future son-in-law just said he fought with the Dragon Head?

"Uncle, don't worry. I am now good friends with the Dragon Head. We're even going to have drinks and meat together later," Ye Chen glanced at Yun Zheyue who had arrived silently.

"..." Xu Guanlin felt his heart race. This kid could scare someone to death with his words. Was he bragging again?

"Uncle, Qingling said the Ji family has been bullying her. I'm planning to return to Huaxia and wipe out the whole Ji family. What do you think?" Ye Chen suddenly said.

"This..." Xu Guanlin was dumbfounded, unable to respond. How was he supposed to answer Ye Chen's question?

If Xu Guanlin agreed to eradicate the Ji family, and Ye Chen really went off to wreak havoc, wouldn't he become the man behind the curtain?

Yet Ye Chen mentioned that the Ji family had bullied his daughter. If he didn't agree to take them down, wouldn't his daughter be wronged?

Xu Guanlin suddenly shuddered to awareness, realizing that Ye Chen was pushing the matter of the Ji family onto him!

"Ye Chen, you've just returned. Spend more time with Qingling. Leave the matter of the Ji family to your uncle!" Xu Guanlin said.

When Ye Chen mentioned the Ji family, it was a call for the Xu Family to state their position because the Xu Family had oppressed Xu Qingling too. However, the Xu Family was Qingling's parental home, so for her sake, Ye Chen gave the Xu Family a chance to pick a side!

Xu Guanlin, well-versed in worldly affairs, understood Ye Chen's intention from just a few brief exchanges. Still, he was taken aback, as Ye Chen, despite his young age, was not only extraordinarily skilled in martial arts but also a sage.

"Alright, then. I'll take care of the Ji family's matter!" Ye Chen paused before adding, "They have some influence. If they dare to be ungrateful, just tell me, Uncle, and I'll go annihilate them!"

"Alright, alright," Xu Guanlin forced a couple of laughs. This young man was so hot-headed, ready to wipe out entire families at the slightest provocation.

"Uncle, by the way, the Dragon Head wants to have a word with you." Ye Chen handed over the phone to Yun Zheyue, curious about what directives the esteemed Dragon Head would have.

"The Dragon, Dragon Head?" Xu Guanlin swallowed again, patting the sweat off his forehead, growing inexplicably nervous.

The Dragon Head, towering and invincible, symbolizes the greatest strength in Huaxia, the nation's Guardian God. Even as a high-ranking military official, Xu Guanlin had only seen the Dragon Head once.
