"Then quickly call her!" Yang Chen thought, Wei Xueqing must have sothing urgent to call so many tis.
Chen Siyan hesitated for a mont but still dialed back.
The phone was answered almost imdiately after ringing once.
"Hello!" Wei Xueqing’s voice ca from the other end.
"Sister Xueqing..." Chen Siyan said guiltily.
Wei Xueqing coldly asked, "Where are you now?"
"We... we’re at Uncle Zhuo’s place, we drank too much last night, I’m sorry..." Chen Siyan said apologetically.
"Don’t say sorry to , where’s Yang Chen?" Wei Xueqing’s voice was unusually cold, like the calm before a storm, brewing a huge tempest.
Chen Siyan looked at Yang Chen and slowly handed the phone over.
Yang Chen took the phone, "Hey, Xueqing."
"Yang Chen!" Hearing Yang Chen’s voice, Wei Xueqing’s emotions exploded completely, she yelled, "You didn’t co back all night, why didn’t you even give a call! Do you know how worried I was!"
Yang Chen frowned upon hearing Wei Xueqing’s sowhat hysterical shouting, and said in a low voice, "I’m very sorry for making you worry, but I was out on business; it’s normal that I couldn’t return."
"Business? You went drinking!" Wei Xueqing said coldly, "Is it normal? I’m living at your house now! You and Yanyan were out all night and didn’t co back, how could I not worry? You’re still okay, but what about Yanyan? Do you know I didn’t sleep all night? I kept calling until Yanyan’s phone was turned off! She might not think of these things, but don’t you?"
Yang Chen felt sowhat guilty, saying in a low voice, "Sorry, I didn’t consider all this."
"Yang Chen!" Wei Xueqing cried, "Why! What gives you the right to treat this way! What right do you have to make worry like this! Why! Why did my life beco like this when you appeared? Why!"
Yang Chen frowned tightly, remaining silent.
"Fine! Since you don’t like being around, I won’t show up again! I won’t disturb your life! I’m leaving!" Wei Xueqing harshly hung up the phone.
Holding the phone, Yang Chen had mixed feelings.
He didn’t know what to say nor what to do, his mind was in chaos.
Chen Siyan weakly looked at Yang Chen and said, "Brother... let’s go back..."
Yang Chen thought for a mont, shook his head, sighed, and said, "Forget it, I still have things to do; you go back first, I’ll have Gao Hong take you."
"Alright, I’ll go persuade Sister Xueqing, tell her not to be so angry!" Chen Siyan said obediently.
"Mm!" Yang Chen nodded.
After breakfast, Yang Chen asked Gao Hong to take Chen Siyan back.
Yang Chen then found Elder Zhuo and Qin Zhiyuan, and the three sat in the study as if in a triangular conference.
"Okay! Now I know my background, I think you should be able to tell everything." Yang Chen looked at the two seniors.
Qin Zhiyuan and Elder Zhuo exchanged a glance, both sensing the tension in each other’s eyes.
"Where do we start?" Elder Zhuo asked.
After all, he knew relatively little about the Yang family.
Qin Zhiyuan sighed, "Let’s start with Yang Chen’s parents."
Elder Zhuo nodded in agreent.
Qin Zhiyuan took a deep breath and said, "Your father’s na is Yang Yanyu, and your mother’s na is Guo Wenjie."
Yang Chen silently listened, rembering these two nas that would be incredibly important for the rest of his life.
"Your family has had single-child successors for three generations; hence, your father is nad Yang Yanyu, aning to continue the lineage. At the sa ti, your father was an excellent scholar, and your mother ca from a guard family, very outstanding. They were the most compatible couple, the best spouses I’ve ever seen," Qin Zhiyuan said with a trace of reminiscence in his eyes.
Elder Zhuo nodded, "Very outstanding!"
It seed they held Yang Chen’s parents in high regard.
"The start of your family’s disaster began with the old immortal’s words. But it wasn’t Taishang who acted against your family. The old immortal told that Taishang saw through the form at that ti, foresaw the future’s trend, didn’t intend to monopolize power, and was indifferent to these things. However, the newcors might not think the sa," Qin Zhiyuan said solemnly.
Yang Chen nodded, speaking in a low voice, "I understand!"
"The reason we were reluctant to tell you about your background was fear of exposure. You are that dragon, while Ye Xin is that phoenix. I guess Old Ye is also worried about this; what we want to do is protect both of you," Elder Zhuo looked at Yang Chen and said.
Yang Chen frowned, "Do you an that the current elder knows about this matter as well?"
Elder Zhuo and Qin Zhiyuan exchanged a look, gradually speaking, "I suspect the elder could guess so of it."
Qin Zhiyuan said, "Should know, after all, just by considering the Dragon King and Fire Phoenix of the Dragon Tooth Squad, you can guess. If soone believes this poem, they would certainly prefer to believe these coincidences!"
Yang Chen slowly nodded, feeling that it’s better to believe it than not!
The two continued to recount the affairs of the past to Yang Chen.
They spoke of how cute Yang Chen was back then, how endearing, when he and Ye Xin were childhood sweethearts, spending the days playing house together.
At that ti, many were aware of Ye Xin and Yang Chen’s engagent.
Perhaps, their engagent beca a catalyst, an accelerator, leading the powers to swiftly act against the Yang family.
After saying this, Qin Zhiyuan sighed, "Although I don’t understand what you ntioned about the Shangqing Sect, I think the old immortal must know about it. But unfortunately..."
Yang Chen shook his head, "Nothing to be unfortunate about; the old immortal has persisted for a long ti. I went there, and it was as if helping the old immortal find peace, going where he should go. As for Ye Xin, I’ll figure out sothing myself."
Qin Zhiyuan nodded, saying nothing further.
Elder Zhuo said, "Xiaochen, your matter is ours too. If you need any help, please tell us, we’ll do our utmost!"
"I understand!" Yang Chen nodded deeply.
Then, Qin Zhiyuan handed Yang Chen a photo, which showed Yang Chen with his parents.
Looking at the people in the photo, a smile broke on Yang Chen’s face.
The woman had short hair but couldn’t hide her stunning beauty, with fair skin, beautiful features, and a gentle aura, but Yang Chen could see she had a solid foundation, likely a practitioner. After all, the director said his mother ca from a guard family.
Then the man, wearing glasses, emitting an academic aura, with a book tucked under his arm in the photo, smiling shyly.
Seeing it now, Yang Chen felt that this man must be his biological father, as their facial outlines were very similar, one glance showed they were related.
And the child’s photo was exactly the sa as the one Ye Xin had shown him, which was undoubtedly himself.
Yang Chen carefully preserved the photo and walked out of the courtyard.
At this mont, Gao Hong drove up and stopped swiftly in front of Yang Chen, shouting, "Boss, it’s Yanyan’s call!"
Taking Gao Hong’s phone, Yang Chen heard Chen Siyan’s shout, "Brother! Hurry! Huannan Street! Sister Xueqing has been kidnapped!"
