6: A Different Yang Lingchen

Yang Family Residence, a certain courtyard.

"Young... Young Master, it's bad. That Little Bastard Yang Lingchen is back." A servant of the Yang Family said, looking flustered and panicked.

"Slap."

"Yang Kun, are you tired of living? How dare you lie to This Young Master." A cold glint flashed in Yang Zihao's eyes, and he directly raised his hand and slapped him hard.

"Young... Young Master, how would I dare to lie to you! I saw him come back with my own eyes just now." Yang Kun hurriedly explained.

"Are you sure you didn't see wrong?" Yang Zihao asked with a heavy voice.

"Absolutely not, I saw him return to his Residence with my own eyes." Yang Kun said with certainty.

"How is this possible? He clearly stopped breathing! Could it be that he wasn't dead yet at that time?" Yang Zihao furrowed his brows, falling into deep thought.

"Young Master, what should we do next?" Yang Kun asked in a low, cautious voice.

"Don't worry, we were all covering our faces at the time, and he was knocked unconscious by This Young Master on the spot, so it's impossible for him to know who we are." Yang Zihao said coldly.

...

After a thorough wash, Yang Lingchen changed into a brand-new set of white silk robes. His delicate, sculpture-like handsome face exuded a noble and extraordinary temperament.

Yang Lingchen was quite satisfied with the appearance of this body.

"Young Master, the Family Head wants you to go to the guest hall." Just then, the maid Xiao Ruo walked over.

"Guest hall? Could there be some distinguished guest?" Yang Lingchen frowned, full of doubt, and then walked quickly toward the guest hall.

Yang Family Guest Hall.

At this moment, the high-level members of the Yang Family were confronting the Xiao Family. The tension between the two sides was high, and the atmosphere was oppressive to the extreme, as if a fierce conflict could break out at any moment.

"Yang Daolin, Yang Lingchen beat my son into this miserable state. If you don't hand him over today, then don't blame me, Xiao Shuoming, for not considering past relations."

Xiao Shuoming's voice was cold to the extreme. The anger in his chest was about to burst out; he was clearly furious to the point of no return.

"Xiao Shuoming, are you sure you aren't joking?"

A look of confusion appeared on Yang Daolin's face.

To say that his own son had crippled Xiao Jiji, Yang Daolin wouldn't believe it even if he died.

After all, his son's cultivation level was only at the third layer of the Gathering Origin Realm, while this Xiao Jiji had already reached the Peak of the fifth layer of the Gathering Origin Realm. The strength of the two sides was simply not on the same level.

"Father, you were looking for me."

At this tense moment, Yang Lingchen pushed open the door and walked in with large strides.

When they saw Yang Lingchen walk in, the members of the Xiao Family opened their eyes wide in anger, staring at him fiercely.

"Chener, did you beat Xiao Jiji?"

Yang Daolin frowned slightly, then pointed at the miserable-looking Xiao Jiji on the stretcher and asked.

"It was indeed me who beat him, but Xiao Jiji attacked first. I was just passively defending myself. Besides, there were many people on the scene who witnessed it with their own eyes."

Then, Yang Lingchen explained the ins and outs of the matter in detail, exactly as it happened.

"Sharp-tongued brat, you hurt my son and still dare to reverse black and white and confuse right and wrong here."

Xiao Shuoming shouted coldly, "Yang Daolin, this kid crippled my son, and today I will cripple him as well. If you dare to intervene, from now on, our two families will be in a state of irreconcilable conflict."

"Family Head, since this matter was caused by Yang Lingchen, then he should handle it himself."

The Yang Family Grand Elder Yang Tiancheng said in a cold, emotionless voice.

"Family Head, I think the Grand Elder is right. Yang Lingchen, as the Young Family Head, is idle all day, not doing his proper job, and causing trouble everywhere. You cannot let our entire Yang Family suffer because he is your son!"

At this time, the Third Elder Yang Tianming also stood up, echoing the Grand Elder's words.

"Hmph."

Yang Daolin snorted coldly, his sharp gaze sweeping over the Third Elder like a sharp sword.

Suddenly, the Third Elder felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his whole body turning cold. He hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to say another word.

"Xiao Shuoming, the matter is already very clear. Your son was not skilled enough, yet he attacked first. Even if he was crippled, he brought it upon himself. If you want to be enemies with my Yang Family, feel free to try."

Yang Daolin said in a cold voice, without any fear.

"Good, very good. Yang Daolin, I want to see how long you can protect him. You hurt my son, this matter will definitely not be settled so easily."

Xiao Shuoming's cold eyes glanced fiercely at Yang Lingchen, and then he left the Yang Family with the Xiao Family members in a rage.

The reason he chose to leave was mainly because he was wary of Yang Daolin's unfathomable strength.

"Family Head, Yang Lingchen is now fifteen years old. According to the Family rules, if the Young Family Head cannot suppress his peers in the clan by the age of fifteen, the Elder Council has the right to dismiss him from his position."

The Grand Elder Yang Tiancheng said coldly again.

"Family Head, I agree with the Grand Elder's opinion. Yang Lingchen is now fifteen years old and is only at the third layer of the Gathering Origin Realm. He is indeed not qualified to continue serving as the Young Family Head of our Yang Family." The Fifth Elder Yang Beiyun also said.

"Elders, This Young Master thinks what you said makes sense. I wonder who you think is qualified to replace This Young Master?"

Yang Lingchen sneered and stood out. If he didn't speak up, this bunch of old guys would really treat him like air.

"I recommend the Grand Elder's grandson, Yang Zihao. Yang Zihao is only sixteen, and he has already reached the ninth layer of the Gathering Origin Realm. Even in the entire Hanyang City, he can be considered a top Genius."

The Third Elder Yang Tianming said impatiently.

"Grand Elder, what do you think?" Yang Lingchen asked, looking at the Grand Elder.

"This seat believes that Zihao has this strength and is qualified to serve as the Young Family Head." Yang Tiancheng said with an expressionless, serious face.

"Very good. Don't say This Young Master didn't give you a chance. Tomorrow morning at the Family Martial Arts Arena, if Yang Zihao can defeat This Young Master, then the position of Young Family Head will be his."

Yang Lingchen sneered and said without hesitation.

When Yang Tiancheng heard this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He looked at Yang Daolin and said, "Family Head, what do you think?"

In Yang Tiancheng's view, Yang Lingchen was merely asking for trouble and embarrassment.

A piece of trash at the third layer of the Gathering Origin Realm wanting to defeat a master at the ninth layer of the Gathering Origin Realm—this was simply wishful thinking and daydreaming.

"Let's do as Chener says!"

Yang Daolin frowned. At this moment, he didn't know what his son was planning.

However, according to the Family rules, if the Young Family Head cannot suppress his peers, the Elder Council does have the right to re-elect a Young Family Head.

"Family Head is wise, we will take our leave."

Yang Tiancheng laughed triumphantly and then exited the guest hall.

At this moment, Yang Tiancheng felt extremely comfortable. As long as his grandson became the Young Family Head, the future power of the Yang Family would fall into the hands of his lineage.

"Chener, you were too impulsive just now, do you know that?" Yang Daolin said in a deep voice.

Originally, he could have used his status as the Family Head to delay for a while, but now that his own son had taken the initiative to propose going to the Martial Arts Arena, he had no way to stop it.

"Don't worry, Father! I will definitely win tomorrow."

After Yang Lingchen finished speaking, he activated all the Profound Energy in his body, and instantly, the powerful strength of the Peak of the ninth layer of the Gathering Origin Realm was fully revealed.

"Whoa."

Yang Daolin was instantly shocked and dumbfounded by the scene before him.

Wasn't his son at the third layer of the Gathering Origin Realm? How did he suddenly break through to the Peak of the ninth layer of the Gathering Origin Realm?

"Peak of the ninth layer of the Gathering Origin Realm. Chener, when did you break through to the Peak of the ninth layer of the Gathering Origin Realm?"

A look of extreme shock appeared on Yang Daolin's face.

"Father, actually I was already at the Peak of the ninth layer of the Gathering Origin Realm a long time ago, it's just that I am relatively low-key."

Yang Lingchen smiled sheepishly and said with some embarrassment.

"Haha..., good, worthy of being my, Yang Daolin's, son." Yang Daolin laughed heartily.

For the nonsense Yang Lingchen said, Yang Daolin didn't believe it at all. This kid had been arrogant and overbearing since he was a child; how could he be a low-key person!

However, Yang Daolin did not ask too much, after all, this was his son's secret.

"By the way, Chener, in half a month, the Heavenly Origin Palace will come to Hanyang City to recruit new Disciples. You must strive for it then." Yang Daolin said.

"Don't worry! Father, I will try my best to strive for it."

From Yang Daolin's eyes, Yang Lingchen saw a trace of a father's earnest expectations for his child.

As for the Heavenly Origin Palace, Yang Lingchen was still very interested because the Heavenly Origin Palace was a top Sect in the Northern Profound Region. Those who could enter the Heavenly Origin Palace were top Geniuses among the younger generation of the Northern Profound Region.

Since he had come to this world, Yang Lingchen certainly did not want to live his life in mediocrity and accomplish nothing, so the Heavenly Origin Palace would be a place he had to go.

Only by going to the Heavenly Origin Palace, in such a place where Geniuses gathered, could he grow up quickly.

Just then, the Butler Yang Su walked in and bowed, saying, "Family Head, the City Lord of Hanyang City is here."

"Invite him in quickly." Yang Daolin said hurriedly.

In a little while, the Butler Yang Su brought in a middle-aged man with an extraordinary air.

And behind the middle-aged man followed a young girl with snow-white skin and a beautiful appearance.

The person who came was the City Lord of Hanyang City, and the young girl was his daughter, Han Ruoxue.

The Han Family and the Yang Family were both one of the four great families of Hanyang City, but the Han Family was the head of the four great families, and the City Lord of Hanyang City was also the City Lord of Hanyang City.

When he saw Han Ruoxue, a trace of unspeakable palpitation flashed in the depths of Yang Lingchen's Soul, and then Han Ruoxue's memories flooded into his mind.
