20: Chapter 20: It's most likely him!

Just as Lin Feng began to sleep!

In Qingyun Alley, the first house on the east side!

In the courtyard that Ye Chen was temporarily renting.

It was brightly lit at this moment.

A middle-aged man of about thirty-something, wearing a purple robe, stared fixedly at Ye Chen on the bed with a gaze like a knife.

In his eyes, besides sharpness, there was an inescapable hint of disappointment.

This person was none other than Ye Chen's father—Patriarch Ye Hu.

"Trash, you really are trash. You couldn't even protect the millennium blood ganoderma that I spared no expense to bid for on the black market. Tell me, what else can you do?" Patriarch Ye Hu said with a face as dark as water, sounding as if he hated that iron could not become steel.

"Father, it's all Drunkard Gu Feng's fault. If it weren't for him, the thief wouldn't have been able to get in at all!" Hearing this, Ye Chen immediately glared at Drunkard Gu Feng, who was standing to the side.

"I'm sorry, Master!" Drunkard Gu Feng hung his head in shame upon hearing this.

He secretly swore to drink less alcohol at night in the future.

To avoid ruining important matters.

"Enough!" Patriarch Ye Hu shouted explosively upon hearing this. "Drunkard Gu Feng certainly is at fault, but are you without fault yourself? Knowing you were heavily injured and had no power to protect yourself, why didn't you hand the blood ganoderma over to Drunkard Gu Feng for safekeeping first?"

"I..." Ye Chen was speechless.

When giving him the blood ganoderma, Patriarch Ye Hu had indeed said it would be better to let Drunkard Gu Feng keep it first!

And to take it back from Drunkard Gu Feng when Ye Chen was about to advance to the Spirit Gathering Realm!

Unfortunately, Ye Chen was very arrogant at the time, believing he could keep the blood ganoderma safe, so he treated his father's words as wind passing by his ears.

Now, it was too late to regret.

"What 'I' what? It's not that I want to lecture you, but you've been like this since you were a child—arrogant, headstrong, and completely unable to listen to others' opinions. How is it now? You've suffered a setback, haven't you?" Patriarch Ye Hu said coldly.

This son of his was good in every way, except that he was too arrogant!

So he had to take this opportunity to severely suppress Ye Chen's arrogance and make him correct his mindset.

Although the millennium blood ganoderma was extremely precious!

But his Ye family could still afford the loss of a mere blood ganoderma.

If Ye Chen could take this matter as a warning and get rid of those stinking habits of arrogance and headstrongness, it would all be worth it.

"I'm sorry, Father, I was wrong!" Ye Chen's expression fluctuated, and he finally lowered his noble head!

"It's good that you know you were wrong!" Patriarch Ye Hu said, his tone gradually becoming calmer. He gently patted Ye Chen's shoulder and said, "You must remember, the reason I am so strict with you is because you carry a heavy responsibility!

Our main family comes from the Ye family of Qinghe Prefecture.

Back then, when I failed to vie for the position of Family Head and was severely injured by your uncle Ye Long, that was why we were driven to this small Qingyun County!

But you must remember, the roots of our Ye family have always been in Qinghe Prefecture!

I hope that you can strive to become strong, Cultivate diligently, and strive for the day when you can lead our Ye family back to Qinghe Prefecture.

If that can truly happen, even if I were to die right now, I could close my eyes in peace!"

"Father, rest assured, I will definitely Cultivate diligently and will not let you down!" Hearing this, Ye Chen replied with his blood boiling.

"Mm, that's my boy!" Patriarch Ye Hu nodded with gratification!

Immediately, he quickly turned his head and looked at Drunkard Gu Feng with a gaze like a knife. "Drunkard Gu Feng, tell me, who was that thief?"

"I'm sorry, Master. That thief was wearing black clothes and a piece of black cloth on his face. I didn't see his appearance clearly!" Drunkard Gu Feng replied with shame.

"If you didn't see his face clearly, you can at least describe his height and build, right?" Patriarch Ye Hu said with displeasure.

"Mm, let me think!" Drunkard Gu Feng nodded.

A short while later, he answered truthfully, "That thief was about the same height as me, about 1.8 meters, and had a lean build.

Besides, based on my clash of palms with him, his strength is definitely not that of a Martial Artist, but a Half-step Martial Artist!

However, his physical strength was about seven or eight hundred jin, which is not very far from a true Martial Artist!"

"What? Seven or eight hundred jin of strength?" Ye Chen, who was lying on the bed, shook violently and couldn't help but exclaim out loud!

At this moment, he suddenly thought of Lin Feng!

That dog thing, when he hit him today, every punch had the force of seven or eight hundred jin.

Plus Drunkard Gu Feng's description—about 1.8 meters tall and lean.

It matched even more!

Lin Feng, who came from the Slums, couldn't even get enough to eat before, so of course he was lean.

He remembered that when he first met Lin Feng, Lin Feng was tall and thin, like a bamboo pole!

Later, after he Cultivated for a while, he gradually became stronger!

"Chen'er, did you think of something?" Hearing this, Patriarch Ye Hu quickly turned his head to look at Ye Chen!

"Mm!" Ye Chen nodded and said hatefully, "Based on Drunkard Gu Feng's description, I thought of someone!"

"Who is it?" Patriarch Ye Hu asked loudly!

"Lin Feng, an Outer Sect Disciple of our martial arts hall!" Ye Chen said hatefully, "My severe injury this time was also caused by that little beast..."

Ye Chen's Life Qi flared up more as he spoke, and he quickly recounted his experience during the day in detail.

"So, that thief must be Lin Feng who injured you?" Patriarch Ye Hu asked with a cold gaze!

"Mm, it's likely him!" Ye Chen nodded heavily, "After all, not many people knew I had the blood ganoderma, except for a few Outer Sect Disciples who have a very good relationship with me!

And Lin Feng must have happened to overhear it.

Plus that dog thing has a grudge against me, and to prevent my cultivation from surpassing his, he took a risk and came to steal the blood ganoderma."

"Mm, what you said makes a lot of sense. That Lin Feng is indeed very suspicious!" Patriarch Ye Hu nodded.

"Then, Father, what do you plan to do?" Ye Chen asked, "Should we go directly to his door and settle the score with Lin Feng?"

"No!" Patriarch Ye Hu shook his head.

"Why?" Ye Chen asked in confusion!

Patriarch Ye Hu explained, "Right now, all of this is just our speculation; we don't have concrete evidence!

Once we cause a scene at his door, it will definitely annoy Hall Master Su Tongtian, and he will think we are provoking him.

And after I was severely injured, my cultivation has already fallen from the original Divine Transformation Realm to the Late Stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm, so I am simply no match for Hall Master Su Tongtian!"

"Then we'll just let it go like this?" Ye Chen asked, unwilling to accept it.

"Of course we can't just let it go!" Patriarch Ye Hu shook his head and said hatefully, "That little beast Lin Feng dared to target my Ye family and steal your blood ganoderma. I will absolutely not spare him!"

"Then, Father, what do you plan to do?" Ye Chen persisted in getting to the bottom of it.

"First, we will remain calm and wait until we find out the truth before settling the score with Lin Feng!" Patriarch Ye Hu replied.

"What if we still can't find evidence in the end?"

"If we still can't find evidence, then we'll wait for Lin Feng to leave the martial arts hall and find an opportunity to secretly kill him." Patriarch Ye Hu said in a grim tone, "Things belonging to my Ye family are not that easy to take!"

"Mm, that Lin Feng is extremely hateful and truly deserves to die!" Ye Chen said hatefully.

"Alright, things have come to this, it is useless to let your Life Qi flare up again. Since we lost the precious blood ganoderma this time, I will find a way to find another one for you, so that you can advance to the Spirit Gathering Realm as soon as possible!

Now, just stay at home and recover from your injuries!"

"Alright, Father!" Ye Chen nodded!

"Drunkard Gu Feng, remember this, protect the Young Master well, otherwise, don't even think about getting your salary!" Patriarch Ye Hu looked at Drunkard Gu Feng and said coldly.

"Yes, Master, I will remember!"
