"Ye Chen!" Saint Jue Qing roared angrily. "Don't you know the rules of Baihua Palace? If I had an affair with Qin Changtian, how could I still join Baihua Palace?"

Saint Jue Qing was nearly infuriated to death. Ye Chen actually doubted her purity, which was a complete insult to her!

"Uh." Ye Chen was momentarily stunned. "Since you two have nothing like that, then you..."

"Nothing!" Saint Jue Qing said angrily. "We haven't done anything, not even held hands!"

Saint Jue Qing didn't understand herself, why she was so agitated, she just hated Ye Chen for wronging her!

She was clearly so pure and untarnished, ice-cold and jade-like, yet Ye Chen dared to question her purity. This was simply unforgivable!

"Impossible!" Ye Chen seemed oblivious to Saint Jue Qing's anger. "You and Qin Changtian have loved each other for a hundred years, how could you not even hold hands? Who are you trying to fool?"

"I haven't fooled anyone, I'm just telling the truth!" Saint Jue Qing forgot her identity and argued with Ye Chen unabashedly.

"Who would believe that!" Ye Chen said.

"I said nothing means nothing. If you dare to refute one more sentence, I will expel you from Baihua Palace!"

"Fine, I believe you!"

Saint Jue Qing appeared both helpless and powerless, clearly showing signs of being wronged, which made Ye Chen choose to believe her.

"Phew!"

"Phew!"

Saint Jue Qing panted heavily. Arguing with Ye Chen about this matter was more exhausting than fighting for an entire day.

The key was that Ye Chen was too shameless, too despicable, too childish... Saint Jue Qing felt overwhelmed and exhausted.

"Palace Master, I still find it hard to believe. You two spent a hundred years together and didn't even hold hands. This defies common sense!" Ye Chen questioned.

"Get out!"

...

With Qin Changtian's defeat and escape, a grand feast came to an end!

The cultivators from Ten Continents all retreated, the Saints also dispersed one by one, and Baihua Palace returned to its peaceful state.

Ye Chen killed geniuses as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs, which many people found exhilarating. Moreover, Qin Changtian's desperate escape left many people wanting to see another epic battle.

However, Ye Chen had already defeated all opponents, and with no Saint King taking action, there was no one here left to challenge him!

It can be imagined that after today, Ye Chen will become a storm, sweeping across the entire Canglan Realm!

Hundreds of thousands of cultivators gathered at Baihua Palace, including Other Shore Grand Masters, Saintly Great Powers, and even peerless human kings!

What kind of public opinion will be created when so many people spread this news together?

The King of Geniuses is the strongest in history, almost on par with the Saint Kings!

Qin Changtian had his arm torn off by Ye Chen and fled for his life, which will definitely shock the Ten Continents and even disturb ancient forbidden areas.

This battle made Ye Chen achieve his success and also elevated Baihua Palace!

After this battle, Baihua Palace's status will undoubtedly soar, ranking among the top of the ten major sects, standing at the pinnacle of the Ten Continents!

As the main contributor to this battle, Ye Chen naturally received countless honors!

At this moment, Ye Chen has not only become the Saint Heir of Baihua Palace but was also made the Deputy Palace Master by Saint Jue Qing, surpassing everyone except the chief and deputy palace masters!

Moreover, in Baihua Palace, aside from Qing Ge and Jue Qing, two Saints, Ye Chen's status is the highest, even higher than the Twelve Beauties!

Ye Chen's performance was excessively dazzling, already becoming the "Treasure of the Palace", whom everyone wanted to kiss!

However, this "Treasure of the Palace" Ye Chen was coveted by many, with numerous super forces wanting to poach him!

The Shenxiao Sect Master had secretly approached Ye Chen, promising him the position of Sect Master and the Sect Supreme Artifact… but Ye Chen refused, because Shenxiao Sect had too few female disciples.

Upon hearing Ye Chen's peculiar reason, the Shenxiao Sect Master was stunned for a long, long time, and then told Ye Chen to wait as he went back to recruit more female disciples.

The Hierarch of the Church of Eternal Life also negotiated with Ye Chen, lowering his status in hopes of resolving past grievances, and even tried to recruit Ye Chen into the church, offering the Sect Guardian Artifact and the position of Hierarch… but Ye Chen refused for the same reason: too few female disciples.

The Hierarch of the Church of Eternal Life was also stunned for a long time and then said he had a granddaughter, very beautiful, and if Ye Chen was willing, he could...

However, Ye Chen remained true to his heart, resisting such improper inducements, and righteously declined.

In fact, more than ten Saints came to Baihua Palace, secretly contacting Ye Chen, promising rich rewards and attempting to poach him, but Ye Chen refused them all.

The benefits offered by the Saints were undeniably rich, not only including the position of Saint Master but also invincible artifacts and even beautiful granddaughters…

However, Ye Chen, deeply rooted in Baihua Palace, definitely could not transfer his allegiance.

But, there were two people who were very insistent, determined to take Ye Chen away. They didn't promise him anything, they just wanted to leave with Ye Chen!

Ye Chen felt powerless against these two people, he didn't even want to see them, but he couldn't avoid them!

These two people were none other than Ye Chen's biological parents, Ye Lingtian and Lingxi.

Ye Lingtian and Lingxi's intentions were too obvious, which even alarmed Jue Qing the Saint, almost exposing their relationship.

Ye Chen is the treasure of Baihua Palace, and Ye Lingtian and Lingxi's attempt to take him away made Jue Qing the Saint furious!

In the end, Ye Lingtian and Lingxi were kicked out. If it weren't for their status, Jue Qing the Saint would have killed them instead of just expelling them.

However, Ye Chen's days did not remain peaceful.

Ye Lingtian and Lingxi, after being driven out of Baihua Palace, did not leave but laid in wait outside.

Moreover, they sent word through disciples for Ye Chen to visit them every day to pay respects. If he dared not to come, they would begin fighting each other until he came or one of them died.

When Ye Chen learned of this, he thought they were blackmailing him and ignored them.

But when they saw Ye Chen don't come, they really started fighting. Ye Lingtian was beaten to the point of vomiting blood. Had Ye Chen not arrived in time, Lingxi might have killed him.

"..."

Ye Chen finally understood why he was so troublesome—it was a family trait. Both Ye Lingtian and Lingxi were so troublesome, so Ye Chen inherited it.

Thus, Ye Chen was scared into submission, worrying they might really harm each other, so he visited them daily to pay respects.

Lingxi and Ye Lingtian seized the opportunity, calling him 'son' every day, trying to lure Ye Chen back home.

However, Ye Chen would come and go in haste, disinclined to communicate with them.

On this day, Ye Chen visited to pay respects again. The so-called paying respects meant taking a stroll so they could see he was alive, and then Ye Chen would leave.

After seeing them, Ye Chen didn't know what to say, so he nodded and prepared to return to the palace.

However, before he could lift his foot, Ye Lingtian blocked him. Lingxi rushed over and grabbed his sleeve.

"What do you want?" Ye Chen frowned and asked.

"Ye Chen, come to the Southern Barbarian Palace with me. I've prepared a house for you and a few beautiful maids. You'll be very comfortable," said Ye Lingtian with a roguish and unruly air, even towards his own son.

"I won't go back with you!" Ye Chen said.

"Why?" Ye Lingtian asked unwillingly, having heard this too many times.

"Because I don't like you. You abandoned your wife and child, making people hate you!" Ye Chen replied coldly.

Ye Lingtian had abandoned Ye Chen and did not seek out Lingxi. Instead, he married another woman, which made Ye Chen very uncomfortable, even somewhat unacceptable.

"My son, come back to Holy Flame Palace with your mother!" Lingxi spoke up at the right time. "Ye Lingtian abandoned his wife and child, hurting us, but I will make it up to you and give you a warm and comfortable home!"

"I won't go to Holy Flame Palace either!" Ye Chen shook his head.

Ye Chen did not resent his mother as she was forced to abandon him by circumstances.

However, Ye Chen had always thought his mother had died, and Lingxi's sudden appearance made it hard for him to adjust.

Moreover, Ye Chen had a scheme for Baihua Palace. Now that his foundation was deep, how could he easily give it up?

"My son, can't you forgive your mother?" Lingxi's heart ached at Ye Chen's attitude. She couldn't finish her sentence, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"It's not that I don't forgive you, I just can't adapt!" Ye Chen said to his mother. "I'm used to life without you, without both of you. Your sudden appearance is too much for me to handle!"

"Do you really not hate me?" Lingxi asked.

"No, I don't," Ye Chen said.

"Good boy!" Ye Lingtian walked over and patted Ye Chen on the shoulder. "It was our fault in the past. From now on…"

"Stop!" Ye Chen interrupted. "I only said I don't hate her; I didn't say I don't hate you!"

"..." Ye Lingtian was stunned.

"You know what you did. I have no reason not to hate you!" Ye Chen said.

"I…" Ye Lingtian knew what Ye Chen meant. Ye Chen hated him for abandoning his wife and child and marrying another woman, but...

"Ye Chen, there's more to this than meets the eye. Your mother…"

After abandoning Ye Chen, Ye Lingtian truly had no ulterior motive; he just wanted to be with Lingxi.

However, Lingxi's domineering personality led to her treating Ye Lingtian like a male servant, calling him at her beck and call.

Ye Lingtian, being proud, was not willing to be bullied by his wife. So, in defiance, he left Lingxi, found another woman, and lived a carefree life since.

"You don't need to explain anything to me!" Ye Chen said. "You didn't betray me, there's no need to explain to me!"

"..."

Ye Lingtian looked unhappy. His son was truly disobedient and needed a beating!

But Ye Lingtian considered their fighting abilities and realized one punch from Ye Chen could send him to his grave.

So, facing an unruly son, he decided to endure it.

"It's best you both leave here. I don't want to see you!" Ye Chen said coldly.
