"Yun Xianghan, do you still have Ye Chen on your mind?" Su Binglan suddenly asked.

"What do you mean by that?" Yun Xianghan raised an eyebrow and said.

"Weren't you going on a date with someone?" Su Binglan laughed inexplicably. "That person is an Other Shore Grand Master, handsome and charming, mature and wealthy, much better than Ye Chen, a perfect match for you!"

"You're spying on me?" Yun Xianghan's expression changed.

"I'm not spying on you, just happened to see." Su Binglan picked up a cup of tea, sipping as she spoke.

"Don't misunderstand!" Yun Xianghan said. "That man comes from an ancient family, very arrogant by nature. I was afraid he'd cause trouble for no reason, so I went to warn him not to revolt!"

"Warn?" Su Binglan laughed. "Seeing him once could be a warning, but twice, three times, four times? All those are warnings too?"

"Su Binglan, you indeed are spying on me!" Yun Xianghan shouted coldly.

"I wasn't spying on you, just happened to encounter!" Su Binglan firmly denied.

"..." Yun Xianghan looked at Su Binglan, her face becoming very unpleasant.

"Xianghan, we've known you for so many years. I absolutely believe in you..." Su Binglan said with a playful smile.

"You're trying to blackmail me, right?" Yun Xianghan suddenly said. "You're very close to the Ji family young master, worried I'd favor Ye Chen, so you want to leverage this against me, right?"

"I have nothing to do with the Ji family young master, don't wrong me!" Su Binglan said.

"Tch. You say it's nothing, who'd believe that?" Yun Xianghan sneered coldly.

"..."

Zhang Xinlan sipped the tea prepared by Su Binglan, watching her and Yun Xianghan spar, feeling a complex sensation in her heart.

Five years' time is neither long nor short, but how many sets of five years are there in a lifetime?

Su Binglan, Zhang Xinlan, Li Yan, Chu Yanran... these women in their prime, youthful and vibrant, five years are too important to them!

Moreover, Ye Chen is someone with a history; when he was in Egypt, he just vanished for three years without a word, and now he's disappeared for another five years. That's a total of eight years!

Su Binglan, Li Yan, and Yun Xianghan, how long have they known Ye Chen?

The time they've spent with Ye Chen is not even as long as the time he's been missing!

Long periods of absence, unable to communicate, naturally breeds some conflicts, like Yun Xianghan going on dates with men, Su Binglan getting close to men, Chu Yanran being pursued by men...

These women are all stunning beauties, which man wouldn't want to have them?

Ye Chen just leaves without considering their feelings, too careless!

So, all the women banded together to deliberately neglect Ye Chen, letting him feel some heartache.

"Actually, this isn't much; even going on a date with a man hasn't caught anyone in the act!"

"But, there's one person whose story is tragic, Wen Rou has always liked Ye Chen, waiting and waiting, she's waited until she's thirty..."

"A month ago, Wen Rou finally decided not to wait anymore and got engaged to a man... But then Ye Chen returned!"

"If Wen Rou knew Ye Chen returned, would she cry?"

Su Binglan gently sipped her aromatic tea, revealing a sorrowful tale.

...

In Yun Zheyue's room.

"Ye Chen, how strong are you now?" Yun Zheyue looked at Ye Chen and softly asked.

Yun Zheyue is a towering dragon head, with her pride she wouldn't easily bow down.

But Ye Chen's performance was too overpowering, directly overwhelming Yun Zheyue, making her completely convinced.

Moreover, Yun Zheyue's cultivation level soared, remarkably much stronger than before, making her incredulous.

Earth's spiritual energy is thin, yet it is a land of opportunity.

Yun Zheyue, being Earth's outstanding figure, stood on the contemporary pantheon, naturally favored by the Heavenly Dao.

Yun Zheyue isn't weaker than some ancient prodigies, just one more step to proving her path!

So, wanting to enhance her power was nearly impossible, futile to attempt.

However, with Ye Chen's assistance, her long-stalled cultivation astonishingly surged, an unimaginable feat.

If that's the case, just how strong is Ye Chen?

Yun Zheyue knew Ye Chen far surpassed her, but to what extent? Yun Zheyue was very curious about Ye Chen's cultivation.

"My strength is so-so, given external aids, slaughtering a few Human Kings wouldn't be a problem!" Ye Chen thought and said.

Ye Chen's inherent fighting power could rival a Human King! Coupled with the Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot, surely comparable to peak Human Kings, becoming a presence likened to Di Lintian, Chen Yun, and Skull Monarch!

How terrifying is a peak Human King? Killing one Human King, shouldn't be hard, right?

Ye Chen thought it wasn't difficult, since he had already slain one!

"Killing Human King?" Yun Zheyue hearing this, her mind shook a little.

Yun Zheyue was close to touching the Saint Realm and had connections with some ancient veterans, naturally understanding what a Human King represented!

Beyond the Other Shore, just a Saint Realm, above the Saint Realm, the Human King stands!

In the vast universe, there are many cultivation dimensions, of which the strongest dimension is the Canglan Realm!

A single Canglan Realm stands against countless small worlds!

However, a Saint King tier existence is scarce even in the Canglan Realm!

It could be said, a Human King powerhouse has already reached the pinnacle of all worlds, almost akin to a divine existence!

But Ye Chen claimed he could slaughter Human Kings???

Yun Zheyue didn't know if Ye Chen was boasting, but she was already frightened.

Yet, the Xuanyuan Human Emperor was indeed a Human King, and even he was slain by Ye Chen, so perhaps these words aren't false.

"Zhao Yue, who exactly covets the dragon vein, wanting to overturn Huaxia's foundation?" Ye Chen asked.

The dragon vein is Huaxia's foundation, anyone attempting to seize it was trying to shake Huaxia's roots!

Ye Chen had deep affection for this land, naturally wanting to guard it, defend it, and destroy all invading enemies!

"This matter is very complicated, always managed by Huaxia's Nine Souls, even I'm not very clear!" Yun Zheyue said. "However, among those coveting the dragon vein, there's definitely the Xuanyuan Human Emperor! Though, since you've killed him, he's no longer a concern!"

"Huaixia Nine Souls?" Ye Chen slightly frowned. "Nine Souls represents nine people? Why have I never heard of them?"

"Huaxia Nine Souls are the strongest martial artists, the true guardians of Huaxia, ancient families dare not act recklessly, all in fear of them!" Yun Zheyue said.

"Able to make ancient families fearful, probably aren't ordinary people, are they the Nine Esteemed Sages?" Ye Chen doubted.

"Yes!" Yun Zheyue said. "Huaxia Nine Souls are indeed the nine Saints, Huaxia's strongest base!"

"Nine Esteemed Sages!" Ye Chen exclaimed, his scalp tingling.

How rare are Saints, how glorious, how invincible?

These are holy spirits among humans, extremely rare even in the Canglan Realm.

The Baihua Palace, prestigious as one of the ten major sects, only has two Saints in residence; other superpowers are similar.

Yet, Huaxia Nine Souls consist of nine Saints? Are you kidding the planet or what!

Huaxia is just a country on Earth, Huaxia Nine Souls embody Huaxia's power, not even counting the ancient families, already have nine Saints???

If calculated this way, how many Saints does Huaxia have, how many does Earth have?

Is Earth truly this terrifying, what does Canglan Realm amount to?

"Why, don't you believe it?" Yun Zheyue said.

"Don't believe!" Ye Chen shook his head, such things are impossible to believe, or else who wouldn't be considered an idiot.

"Believe it or not!" Yun Zheyue rolled her eyes at him.

"Wife, you're truly getting more beautiful, one look from you makes my heart race!" Ye Chen flattered her.

"Get lost!" Yun Zheyue retorted. "Quickly get out of here, Ye has been gone this long, should be back by now!"
