"Ye Chen, come on, beg us, Wen Rou's matter is important, if you keep ignoring, you might regret it for life!" Qin Ying added fuel to the fire.

"Alright, I'm begging you, just tell me!"

Ye Chen blinked innocently, looking defeated.

The sisters actually teamed up to trick him, leaving Ye Chen feeling helpless!

"Wen Rou's fiancé is Tai Li, the most powerful man in the capital!" Qin Lan said.

"Little Lan Lan, are you deliberately teasing me?" Ye Chen said speechlessly. "In this capital full of hidden talents, who dares to call themselves the strongest?"

"This 'strongest' isn't self-proclaimed, it's recognized by everyone!" Qin Lan said meaningfully.

"I haven't read much, so don't trick me!" Ye Chen said sarcastically, clearly not believing it.

The capital is Huaxia's national capital, it has gone through several major expansions and developed hugely, with a permanent population of tens of millions.

Moreover, the capital hides deep dragon veins, nurturing a region's life, making this place subtly transcendent, producing many talented individuals.

The vast capital is indeed full of hidden talents, who dares to claim the title of the strongest?

"I didn't lie to you!" Qin Lan said. "Tai Li really is the strongest, it's recognized by everyone!"

"Am I stronger?" Ye Chen asked.

"No!" Qin Lan said.

"If he's not stronger than me, how dare he claim to be the strongest?" Ye Chen said.

"You're talking about physical strength, I'm talking about intelligence!" Qin Lan looked down on him.

"..." Hearing Qin Lan mention intelligence, Ye Chen started to have a headache again, his IQ once again hardened.

"Ye Chen, your face looks terrible, could it be you're feeling inferior?" Qin Lan giggled. "But don't worry, even if you're not as smart as Tai Li, I won't despise you, just because I love your silly side!"

"If you like me, just say it, no need to beat around the bush!" Ye Chen said.

"Yes, I like you!" Qin Lan unusually主动said.

"..."

"Alright, hurry up and get to the point, what exactly is with Tai Li?" Ye Chen asked.

"Tai Li is the young master of the Tai Family, the most intelligent man in the capital!" Qin Lan said.

"Which family is the Tai Family? Is the Tai Family's young master remarkable? Besides, the strongest is all about physical strength, what qualifies a schemer to be called the first?" Ye Chen said.

"Is this your display of jealousy?" Qin Lan and Qin Ying said stunned.

Ye Chen has always given the impression of being wise, especially since he returned from the Canglan Realm, his aura is transcendent, giving people the feeling of a celestial being.

At this moment, Ye Chen's face was fiercely angry, his tone full of contempt, like a bickering child, a state vastly different from usual, making people a bit unable to adapt.

Therefore, the sisters definitely have reason to believe, Ye Chen is being jealous!

Tai Li stole Wen Rou, Ye Chen is jealous!

"I'm not jealous. It's just your words are different from my beliefs!" Ye Chen said.

"What's your belief?" Qin Lan and Qin Ying were a bit curious.

"My belief is that brute force can break ten thousand spells!" Ye Chen looked at Qin Lan and Qin Ying, exhibiting amazing confidence. "As long as the strength is strong enough, all conspiracies and tricks are nothing but clay chickens and pottery dogs, completely vulnerable!"

Ye Chen is also wise, and has used tricks to kill people!

But conspiracies and tricks are not the righteous way, fundamentally unworthy to be on the grand stage!

True strong ones stand at the apex, overlook the myriad worlds, and can overthrow rules and recreate order with a flip of the hand!

What are wise men and schemers in the face of absolute strength? All must vanish!

It's like an ant, no matter how wise, cannot outsmart a dragon.

Because, the ant's power is limited, no matter how clever, cannot threaten the dragon.

"I didn't say others aren't powerful, did I?" Qin Lan said. "I just said Tai Li is extraordinarily intelligent, didn't say he's weak!"

"Can you stop beating around the bush, and once say everything?" Ye Chen said seriously.

"Seeing you almost crying, I'll be merciful and tell you everything!" Qin Lan said.

Ye Chen: "..."

Ye Chen has a lingering concern for Wen Rou, but she is already engaged, so Ye Chen hasn't gone looking for her, and this concern has faded.

However, Qin Lan deliberately poked around, mentioned Wen Rou to Ye Chen, and spoke cryptically, which stimulated Ye Chen a bit.

Especially that Tai Li, dared to call himself the strongest in the capital, this is really too arrogant! Even an honest person like Ye Chen can't stand it.

"Tai Li's strength is his scheming, but he's also a practitioner of martial arts, and his accomplishments are quite remarkable, far surpassing his peers!"

"Moreover, Tai Li is the young master of the Tai Family, and that is the real terror!"

"There are hundreds of wealthy families in the capital, but their heritage varies in strength, and there's a hierarchy!"

"The most ordinary wealthy families are those third-rate families! Slightly powerful families belong to the second-rate ones! Representative families in the wealthy clan are first-rate families!"

"But, there are some families in the capital that are too powerful, that already are super first-rate wealthy families, also known as top-tier ones!"

"Top-tier wealthy families possess vast influence, they are the true aristocrats, like Chu Yanran's Yanran International and Su Binglan's family, they are both top-tier wealthy families!"

The capital's forces are intricate and complex, some are old rich families with extensive influence. Some are newly emerged prominent families, late bloomers, still in the development stage.

Therefore, although there are many rich families in the capital, true aristocrats are few, only about a dozen families!

Perhaps, only those dozen or so wealthy families can be considered true, others are just lucky nouveau riche.

"You've laid out so much, you're not gonna tell me how terrifying the Tai Family is, are you?" Ye Chen interrupted.

"Yes!" Qin Lan said. "I've laid out so much just to tell you how strong the Tai Family is!"

"Alright, I'm ready, go ahead!" Ye Chen swallowed and said.

"There are so many powerful families in the capital, but top-tier powerful families aren't the limit, there are still a few truly transcendent ones!" Qin Lan said.

"Transcendent?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and said.

"Yes!" Qin Lan nodded emphatically.

"How transcendent?" Ye Chen asked curiously.

"Indescribably transcendent!" Qin Lan said.

"..." Ye Chen felt like he was being messed with.

"Does having the Other Shore Grand Master guard your house count as transcendent?" Qin Lan said.

"And then?" Ye Chen asked.

"Then I just don't know!" Qin Lan said. "Those few families are so transcendent, tenfold, a hundredfold stronger than top-tier families, who knows what secrets they hide that even make the Other Shore Grand Master willing to serve them!"

"There are hundreds of powerful families in the capital, their survival all requires the permission of those few families!"

"If those few families don't nod, you're just not a powerful family, you can't survive!"

"Those few families are the real powerful families, the real aristocracy, the real dictatorship!"

"They are the top of the food chain, controlling Huaxia's lifeline, their foundation not inferior to ancient families!"

When Qin Lan said these words, her face was serious, with not a hint of jest, making Ye Chen feel a bit oppressed.

However, Qin Lan exaggerated so much; secular powerful families are actually comparable to ancient families?

Ancient families have a long heritage, transcendent, are martial families, with Saints lurking within them, how could secular powerful families possibly compare?

"You're not disbelieving, are you?" Qin Lan saw Ye Chen laughing, with an inscrutable smile, and thought he didn't believe her.

"I believe!" Ye Chen nodded and said.

"Then aren't you afraid?" Qin Lan asked.

"Afraid of what?" Ye Chen asked suspiciously.

"The Tai Family is that kind of transcendent family, comparable to ancient families, a real powerful aristocracy!" Qin Lan said. "Tai Li, as the young master of the Tai Family, is not only extraordinarily intelligent but also possesses strong abilities. Aren't you afraid of having such a rival in love?"

"Who said Tai Li is my rival in love?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and said.

"Isn't he?" Qin Lan asked.

"You misunderstood!" Ye Chen said. "Wen Rou and I are just acquaintances, there's no love involved, even if she gets engaged, I would only wish her well!"

Ye Chen spoke in a very carefree manner, as if, just as he said, he cared not a bit about Wen Rou's engagement.

"Ye Chen, stop deceiving yourself, we all know you like Wen Rou!" Qin Lan said.

"Bullshit, who likes her!" Ye Chen said unhappily. "What's there to like about her?"

"The white tiger!" Qin Lan said. "Wen Rou is a stunning enchanting tiger, you've had thoughts about this white tiger beauty for a long time; do I really need to say more about this?"

"..." Qin Lan's ruthless exposure made Ye Chen's life gauge suddenly hit bottom.

"Alright, stop pretending, if you're jealous, be jealous, we're not going to laugh at you!" Qin Lan giggled.

"What did you say earlier? Wen Rou is getting engaged to Tai Li for someone; who is this someone?"

Ye Chen remembered this particularly clearly because there seemed to be a big reason hidden behind Wen Rou's engagement, and it seemed related to him!

"The someone is obviously you!" Qin Lan said. "Wen Rou is getting engaged to Tai Li because of you!"

"Because of me?" Ye Chen was stunned.

Ye Chen left Earth for five years, gained a lot, but missed a lot, including Wen Rou.

But how was Wen Rou's engagement to Tai Li related to him?

"Yes, it's for you!" Qin Lan said.

"When they got engaged, I wasn't even on Earth, how could it be for me?" Ye Chen asked seriously.

"Because your reputation is too great!" Qin Lan said. "Even though you left Earth, Earth still has your legend!"

"..."

Ye Chen seriously looked at Qin Lan, very doubtful about the stance of this statement; was this chick praising him or dissing him?

"Alright, don't look at me like that, I'll be frank with you!" Qin Lan said.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Ye Chen asked in surprise.

"Of course, why did Wen Rou get engaged to Tai Li? I haven't explained yet!" Qin Lan said.

"Isn't it because of me?" Ye Chen said.

"Yes, it's because of you!" Qin Lan nodded heavily.

"You already said that!" Ye Chen said.

Qin Lan: "..."

"Alright, since it's been said, don't say it anymore!" Ye Chen said. "Listening to you beat around the bush, I'm exhausted for you!"

"Haha, you're angry?" Qin Lan laughed.

"No!" Ye Chen shook his head, somewhat impatiently said, "Don't say anymore, I'm not interested, let's leave it at that!"
