Since there was no telling when Chen Tianmin would arrive, Chen Yang and Wang Jingman were hungry, so they ordered dinner first.
The al was quite lavish, including various dishes of fish and at, as well as seafood.
By the ti they finished, it was already past midnight.
Only two or three hours had passed since they let the enemy alliance mbers go.
Chen Yang glanced at the ti and decided to wait a bit longer.
So, he picked another movie to watch with Wang Jingman.
By the ti the movie ended, it was around two or three in the morning, yet there was still no movent.
Seeing that no one had arrived, Chen Yang felt there was no hope.
It was likely that sothing went wrong in the process, or perhaps Chen Tianmin was occupied with other matters, which was why he hadn’t co.
However, just as he planned to sleep, there was a knock at the door.
Thump thump...
The knocking was faint and slow, as if probing.
"Soone’s here!"
Wang Jingman, having waited with Chen Yang for so long, was also vigilant and imdiately looked at Chen Yang upon hearing the knock.
Chen Yang had heard it too.
But he didn’t rush to open the door; instead, he waited a bit.
Thump thump...
When the knocking sounded again, he got up and put on his shoes to open the door.
Once the door was open, four people stood outside!
The two n from earlier, along with the woman Chen Yang had captured, and leading them was none other than his uncle Chen Tianmin!
"Yang Zi, it really is you!"
Chen Tianmin, seeing Chen Yang standing inside, looked both surprised and delighted! He was quite taken aback.
After seeing the note and listening to the woman’s description, he found it astonishing because he hadn’t revealed anything about the enemy alliance to Chen Yang, and he didn’t know how Chen Yang managed to find him.
At the ti, he thought it was impossible.
But he still ca.
"Uncle!"
Seeing Chen Tianmin, Chen Yang was equally delighted! He found him so quickly.
"Yang Zi, this isn’t the place to talk; let’s get inside first." Chen Tianmin was delighted but also cautious, glancing outside twice before quickly stepping inside.
Chen Yang understood, given the multitude of spies from Blood Bat Hall; if they were exposed, it would be troubleso.
"Alright, co in."
Chen Yang promptly moved aside, allowing Chen Tianmin and the others into his room.
After confirming that no one was in the hallway outside, he closed the door and locked it.
Once inside, Chen Tianmin and the others relaxed their guard, removing their masks and baseball caps used for disguise.
"Yang Zi, it’s really you. I heard from Xiran it was you, but I couldn’t believe it. How did you know I was with the enemy alliance?" Chen Tianmin turned to look at Chen Yang, curious.
He was indeed very surprised.
"It’s a long story; let’s sit down and talk."
Chen Yang gestured to the sofa.
"Alright."
Knowing they had a lot to discuss, Chen Tianmin sat down with the others.
After sitting down, introductions ensued.
Chen Tianmin started the introductions.
"Yang Zi, coincidentally, the three you t today are mbers I’ve recently been tasked with. Let introduce them to you."
"This is Pei Yong."
"Hello."
Pei Yong was the burly man, his massive fra like a wall.
"Hello."
Chen Yang responded courteously.
Chen Tianmin then introduced the other two, He Xiran and Cao Zhenghao.
Once the introductions were complete, the uncle and nephew began their conversation.
Initially, Chen Tianmin inquired how Chen Yang found him.
Chen Yang briefly shared how he ca across the information.
After hearing it, Chen Tianmin frowned slightly.
"I didn’t expect anyone in the provincial capital to know our enemy alliance’s area of activity?" Chen Tianmin looked at Pei Yong and the others.
He seed sowhat apprehensive.
Chen Yang noticed their emotions and quickly explained: "The elderly man at the grocery store ant no harm. He just gave directions as I was a familiar face, but you still need to be cautious in the future; it’s alright."
Chen Tianmin nodded: "Indeed, caution is necessary. If it weren’t you today, these three would have been in danger."
Chen Tianmin’s words were ostensibly addressed to Chen Yang but were also intended for Pei Yong and the others.
Pei Yong and the others smiled awkwardly, unable to refute.
They now knew that Chen Yang’s combat prowess was formidable, his cultivation much higher than theirs.
If Chen Yang had been with Blood Bat Hall at the ti, they would have stood no chance.
"Uncle Chen, it was our recklessness. We’ll be more vigilant in the future," He Xiran spoke awkwardly.
He Xiran was the woman Chen Yang had caught up with earlier.
Knowing Chen Yang wasn’t an enemy, her cold deanor disappeared entirely, replaced by warmth that was unlike the person he’d t.
"Xiran, I understand your hatred towards Blood Bat Hall, but rushing in like that is unacceptable. Our enemy alliance has survived this long largely due to cautious conduct; otherwise, we would’ve been unable to stay in the provincial capital." Chen Tianmin took the opportunity to educate.
Given Chen Tianmin’s high status, his words were well-received by Xiran and the others, who agreed wholeheartedly.
After their agreent, Chen Tianmin nodded, saying no more.
Then Chen Yang asked his question.
Chen Tianmin’s sudden departure puzzled Chen Yang.
Finally seeing Chen Tianmin, Chen Yang naturally wanted to understand.
"Uncle, why did you suddenly leave? Did sothing happen?" Chen Yang asked.
Chen Tianmin turned, looking at Chen Yang: "Yang Zi, taking the risk to co today was to discuss this matter..."
Over the next half hour, Chen Tianmin recounted the events of the incident in full.
As it turned out, four months ago, after being betrayed by a traitor, Chen Tianmin indeed intended to retire in Liuhe Village, living as an ordinary person.
Unexpectedly, over a month ago, he was found by enemy alliance mbers.
They inford him about the events from four months ago.
At the ti, Chen Tianmin was unaware of the betrayal by a traitor during that operation.
It was only after being told that he found out.
"In all honesty, your uncle despises traitors the most. How could I pretend nothing happened? That’s why I ca to the provincial capital without notifying you."
"Initially, I hoped it would be over in half a month, but it’s dragged on, so I didn’t get the chance to inform you."
...
After Chen Tianmin’s recounting, Chen Yang understood the situation more clearly.
He returned solely to assist the enemy alliance in dealing with the traitor.
Because the traitor remained at large, he never returned to Liuhe Village and stayed in the provincial capital.
"Brother Chen Yang, the Vice Alliance Hierarch holds a crucial role in our alliance. We can’t do without him. We hope you’ll advise him to stay; Blood Bat Hall’s blood feud cannot remain unavenged."
Pei Yong suddenly spoke.
Chen Yang, hearing this, realized his uncle indeed contemplated leaving the enemy alliance and abandoning revenge.
