Chapter 123: No More Pretending, Time to Reveal, I Am Long Aotian!

Chapter 123: No More Pretending, Time to Reveal, I Am Long Aotian!

If Chen Ye heard Principal Lu and Old Sun's evaluation of him,

he might die laughing!

Anyway, he handed the elemental demon's core to Father Chen, and it would eventually return to his hands. Why not be a bit more proactive?

Moreover,

the elemental demon's core, once it passed through President Chen's hands and back to Chen Ye, would be as good as clean!

From then on, he could openly use his fire-based superpower!

If Long Aotian had seized the elemental demon's core, even if Chen Ye mastered the fire-based superpower, he could only use it secretly.

Because everyone knew it was Long Aotian who took the elemental demon's core, so why would Chen Ye have fire-based superpowers?

Did Long Aotian give it to you?

What's your relationship with Long Aotian?

No relation at all, so why would he give you something so important?

The result would be that people would easily link him with Long Aotian...

It's different if it comes through President Chen.

It's a father giving his son a future, what's wrong with that?

...

Not long after Chen Ye left,

Principal Lu and Old Sun also took their leave.

With these two old friends, President Chen was much more casual and quickly tried to retain them: "Leaving in such a hurry? No way, at least have a meal before you go. I happen to have two bottles of good wine, let's drink them tonight."

Principal Lu smiled and said, "We didn't really help you much. If you're treating someone to a meal, it should be Long Aotian!"

"What are you talking about?" President Chen pretended to be displeased, "I need your help to invite you for a meal? What do you take me for?"

"Besides, you both took time to accompany me in this venture, how much gratitude do I owe you? You two are righteous, and I, Old Chen, can't be ungrateful. You must finish these two bottles of wine before you leave tonight!"

"Alright, alright, we're all friends here, we're not being polite with you, but we do have some urgent matters!" Principal Lu said, "How about this, you bring out the two bottles, and Old Sun and I each take one home?"

Old Sun also laughed, "Come on, President Chen, there will be plenty of opportunities to get together. For now, you should call your son back and have him use the core as soon as possible! This thing won't last long."

Hearing this, President Chen finally stopped insisting.

"Alright then, take the wine with you."

...

After Chen Ye left the association building,

he immediately moved through several hidden places before resuming his true appearance.

Then,

he turned on his phone and deliberately sent his dad a message:

"Dad, I've arrived in Lin'an..."

A simple sentence.

Nothing else was said.

Anyway, it was about to be revealed soon, there was no need to say too much now.

The time was

a little after three in the afternoon.

Chen Ye thought his dad would still be entertaining Principal Lu and Old Sun and might be busy.

Unexpectedly,

his dad called back shortly after he sent the message.

When he answered the phone,

he heard President Chen's restrained yet excited voice: "Brat, where are you now?"

"Uh, just arrived in Lin'an."

This was true.

He had indeed just gotten off the transport plane.

President Chen: "Then don't come home, come directly to the association and wait for me... I have a surprise for you."

Hearing this, Chen Ye couldn't help but laugh:

"Perfect! Dad, I also have a surprise for you."

"Oh? What surprise?"

"I'll tell you when we get home!"

"Alright, come over now!"

After hanging up,

Chen Ye took a taxi back to the association building, found a place in the lobby to sit.

Now that he wasn't Long Aotian, not many people recognized this Young Master Chen.

Though he was also a celebrity online,

there was still a difference between real life and photos.

After waiting for about ten minutes,

President Chen finally came out of the elevator and entered the lobby.

When he walked over to Chen Ye and they left the lobby together, many people started looking at Chen Ye.

"That bald guy looks like President Chen's son."

"Huh? He's the one following behind Goddess Tang..."

"So that's Young Master Chen! He looks different from the photos online! Why is he bald?"

At the building's entrance,

President Chen's car was already waiting.

Father and son got into the car, and President Chen instructed the driver, "Xiao Li, take us home."

"Yes, President."

The driver, Xiao Li, was a young man in his twenties, who seemed a bit introverted and didn't talk much.

Upon receiving the instruction, he started the car and focused on driving.

President Chen suddenly asked Chen Ye, "Weren't you at school? Why did you suddenly think of coming home? And why was your phone off when I called you earlier?"

With the driver present, Chen Ye didn't want to say much, so he said, "Dad, I'll explain when we get home."

Although curious, President Chen gave his son face and didn't ask further in front of the driver.

Twenty minutes later,

the car stopped at the villa gate.

Driver Xiao Li parked the car, quickly got out to open the door for President Chen.

Once President Chen and his son got out of the car,

Xiao Li drove the car back to the association building.

Tomorrow morning, he would pick up President Chen for work again.

That was his daily job.

---

Walking into the house, Chen Ye took a deep breath, ready to come clean with his father. Suddenly, he frowned, his gaze falling on the sofa in the living room.

President Chen noticed it too.

In their line of sight,

a strange middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa, who had appeared out of nowhere.

This man seemed to be in his early thirties, with fairly regular features, except for his eyes, which were as sharp as an eagle's, exuding a murderous aura.

He had a tall and broad-shouldered build.

What was most striking about him was his hairstyle.

Greyish-white hair, all spiked up like a broom...

At this moment,

this middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa, holding a glass of wine, slowly savoring it.

The moment President Chen saw this man, his good mood vanished, and his expression turned sour.

"Uncle Master, your home's wine is quite good!"

The man on the sofa said with a smile, then downed the wine in his glass.

Hearing him call his father "Uncle Master," Chen Ye immediately understood the man's identity.

Chang Ming!

The traitorous disciple of President Ba!!

Also the murderer of President Li.

His appearance here today clearly meant trouble.

"Chang Ming, you dare show up?" President Chen said in a deep voice, "Don't you know you're wanted nationwide?"

"Why wouldn't I dare? I come and go as I please, and no one can stop me!"

Chang Ming laughed confidently.

And he had every reason to be confident.

He was now also a master at the Dan-holding level, on par with his master, Ba Liming, in terms of realm.

Of course, even within the same realm, there were differences in strength.

Whether Chang Ming's strength could rival Ba Liming's would only be known after a real fight.

"You're not looking for your master, so what are you doing here?"

President Chen asked nonchalantly,

his left hand behind his back, constantly signaling Chen Ye to run.

Unfortunately, Chen Ye didn't seem to notice.

"Master? Heh..."

Chang Ming chuckled lightly, his tone inexplicable: "That old guy, I will find him, but not now. With my current strength, I'm still not his match."

"I heard Uncle Master got the elemental demon's core today? I came here for that. You wouldn't refuse me, would you?"

As he spoke,

Chang Ming's right hand suddenly exerted force.

"Crack!"

The thick glass wine cup in his hand instantly shattered into powder, then disintegrated, falling to the ground.

Finer than rice flour.

Seeing this, President Chen's heart sank.

This single move indicated that Chang Ming's strength had already far surpassed his.

"Chang Ming, who told you that?" President Chen said calmly, "I did return from Daxing today, but the elemental demon's core is not with me."

"Uncle Master, that's no fun!"

Chang Ming slowly stood up from the sofa, his expression becoming more arrogant: "Did you really think I came back to the country just to challenge that old man?"

"Haha... naive!"

"I killed Old Li just to create the illusion of challenging that old man, to keep him busy so he couldn't help you!"

"This way, the people Master sent could get the elemental demon's core."

"Unexpectedly, they were all useless, couldn't even handle this small task, and I had to come personally."

"I know everything that happened in Daxing, including how Long Aotian got the elemental demon's core. Someone even filmed it with a drone."

"Uncle Master, I really didn't want to come, after all, you've treated me well... But Master is very interested in the elemental demon's core. I must fulfill his demand so he will teach me how to break through the void and remain invincible in the face of gods!"

"Only by seeing gods can I be confident of defeating that old man and avenging my broken hand..."

"Uncle Master, this pretty boy beside you is your son, right? You risked getting the elemental demon's core for him?"

"Tsk tsk, such fatherly love!"

"Hand over the elemental demon's core! I can spare your son!"

Only sparing his son.

Which meant he had no intention of letting President Chen go.

Even though President Chen was his Uncle Master...

President Chen's face had turned somewhat pale.

In this world,

there was currently only one martial artist capable of seeing gods!

That was the Martial God from Australia!

President Chen hadn't expected Chang Ming to be under his command.

No wonder he had advanced to the Dan-holding realm so quickly.

He knew he was no match for this nephew.

If it were just him here today, President Chen wouldn't be afraid.

But with his son here...

"The elemental demon's core is really not with me. Long Aotian took it."

President Chen knew Chang Ming's style too well. If he handed over the elemental demon's core, it would be a dead end!

Not handing it over might still delay for a chance.

Then, President Chen made one last attempt: "Chang Ming, my son is innocent, and you're not a man who kills the innocent. Can you let my son go first?"

Chang Ming sneered, starting to stretch his muscles: "Uncle Master, you really won't cry until you see the coffin! Fine, I was itching for a fight anyway. Hope your Flowing Rock Crushing Fist can warm me up."

Hearing this, President Chen's face turned extremely grim.

Just as he was about to fight to the death, Chen Ye, beside him, suddenly spoke:

"Oh? You want to warm up?"

"You should have said so! I'll help you!"
