695: Chapter 691: The Ye Family?
If he could learn such moves in the midst of facing enemies, then no matter how strong the opponent, he would have a chance to gain the upper hand.
Ye Tian possessed clairvoyant ability, so he subconsciously memorized the way the black-clad person’s qi channels flowed when striking, and afterwards, he started to mimic the black-clad person’s palm strikes.
However, when he executed the palm strike, he found that he couldn’t transform the force of nature at all, causing it to accumulate in his palm.
If he didn’t stop, he feared his palm would be ruined!
It seemed that learning the “Sun Palm” was not an easy feat!
“Boss, does that mean among the opponents you’ve encountered, someone used such a technique?”
Ding Da asked further, and Ye Tian did not hide it from him.
“Yes, Ding Da, I fought with someone yesterday, and that person used this exact move!”
Saying this, Ye Tian repeated the palm strike motion he had performed before.
“But after concentrating the strength in the center of his palm, the force of nature suddenly transformed into light energy, and then his entire palm burst forth with dazzling light, blinding his opponent completely!”
“Good heavens!
It’s the Sun Palm!”
Ye Tian’s words made Ding Da exclaim in shock.
“Sun Palm?
Ding Da, you know of this technique?”
Ye Tian asked curiously, and Ding Da’s complexion immediately turned somber.
“Boss, the Sun Palm is a divine secret manual not passed outside the Ye Family, a clan even the Sima Family wouldn’t dare to provoke.
Boss, how did you come across someone from the Ye Family?”
From Ding Da’s expression, Ye Tian could clearly detect a look of dismay.
If even the Sima Family wouldn’t dare to provoke the Ye Family, that meant the Ye Family was an even more powerful existence!
But why would someone from the Ye Family snatch the Ice Heart Awl from him?
“Ding Da, tell me everything you know about the Ye Family!”
Having said that, Ye Tian listened intently.
With no intention to conceal anything from Ye Tian, Ding Da spoke frankly, “Boss, the Ye Family, just like the Sima Family, is an Ancient Martial Family that cultivates the force of nature, and the Cultivation Technique practiced by the Ye Family is far more formidable than the Sima Family’s Wind Flow Strength!
Luckily, unlike the nefarious Sima Family, the Ye Family has a much better reputation.
They should be a neutral Ancient Martial Family.
The Ye Family would not normally provoke others, but if someone were to provoke the Ye Family, their members would retaliate furiously!”
“I see…”
Hearing Ding Da’s words, Ye Tian silently nodded.
It seemed that although the Ye Family maintained neutrality, they were not to be trifled with.
“Ding Da, with Sima Feng’s call, many Martial Artists have come to Jiangcheng.
Are there any from the Ye Family among them?”
Ye Tian asked again, and Ding Da immediately shook his head.
“How could the Ye Family be interested in the dragon vein of Jiangcheng?
We three brothers have never seen anyone from the Ye Family, nor heard of them coming to Jiangcheng.
I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed on that front, Boss!”
“Hmm…”
Even though he had learned the name of the Ye Family, Ye Tian didn’t gain much additional knowledge.
In such a case, he probably wouldn’t be able to find out the identity of the black-clad person he fought.
Doesn’t that mean the lead is broken again?
A touch of disappointment appeared on Ye Tian’s face, and he asked, “Ding Da, what else do you know about the Ye Family?”
After careful consideration, Ding Da said, “Boss, I don’t know if it’s just rumors.
I’ve heard that the Ye Family seems to be doing business!”
“Doing business?
Why would they get into business?”
Ding Da’s words mildly surprised Ye Tian.
Ancient Martial Families like the Ye Family should be beyond worldly needs, so why would they engage in business?
“I’m not very clear on that point.
The person who told me about the Ye Family’s business ventures speculated that the Ye Family needed a large amount of money for something, so they spread their business across the country and made quite a bit of money.
However, where exactly the money went is unclear!”
“Hm…”
Ye Tian fell into deep thought once again.
An Ancient Martial Family, nearly divine in existence, needed to dig for money through trade.
What exactly did this clan intend to do?
Could it be that the Ye Family, like the Sima Family, had some kind of thousand-year grand scheme?
Regarding the actions of the Ye Family, Ye Tian was indeed very puzzled, but suddenly, a light bulb went on in his head!
“Thank you!
Ding Da!”
Ye Tian thanked Ding Da, leaving him confused.
Ding Da had not provided sufficient information to Ye Tian, but Ye Tian was continuously expressing gratitude, and he had no idea why.
“Uh…
Boss…
do you already know the Ye Family’s purpose?”
Ding Da asked tentatively, but Ye Tian simply waved his hand.
“How could I possibly know their objective?
However, your words have enlightened me,” Ye Tian said with a smile.
“Ding Da, I’ve gotten some clues, so I must investigate as soon as possible.
Once Ye Xuong has cultivated for a complete cycle, tell him not to rest; he should continue his training!
Oh, and don’t tell him I was here!”
“Yes, Boss!”
Ye Tian’s commands were naturally followed to the letter by Ding Da.
Afterward, Ye Tian gave a light leap, employing Qinggong to leave.
“Ye Family…
it seems fate has finally brought us together!”
With a slight smile, Ye Tian’s body had already jumped dozens of feet away.
Before long, he had left the estate where the Night King Hall was located.
Excited, Ye Tian ran all the way and soon arrived in Jiangcheng’s downtown area.
Since it was crowded with people, he couldn’t be too ostentatious, so he slowed down and proceeded at a more leisurely pace.
Before he knew it, he had arrived at the Yun Corporation’s office building!
“Captain Ye, why have you come to work today?”
“Captain Ye, hello!
It’s quite rare to see you around today!”
“With Captain Ye here, the CEO’s mood will definitely improve.
There won’t be any scolding in the meetings now!”
…
The employees of Yun Corporation greeted Ye Tian warmly as they saw him arrive.
Ye Tian also had a wry smile on his face.
Sometimes when he didn’t want to come to work, he would just happen to drop by Yun Corporation, and in the eyes of the employees, he was considered diligent!
Of course, Ye Tian now had no time for small talk with other employees, as he went straight to the chairman’s office on the top floor of the office building.
“Ye Tian?”
Upon seeing Ye Tian arrive, Yun Xinyan was both surprised and excited.
They had only been apart for less than two hours, and she did not expect Ye Tian would come back so soon.
“You didn’t come just because you missed me, did you?”
Although Yun Xinyan hoped for a bit of that “absence makes the heart grow fonder” feeling with Ye Tian, she wasn’t a little girl anymore and naturally didn’t believe in those so-called romances.
Ye Tian smiled and immediately locked the door to the chairman’s office!
“Wife, don’t say that!
As your husband, of course, I came because I missed you!”
As he spoke, Ye Tian quickly approached Yun Xinyan, and gently kissed her on the face.
“Stop it!
I’m working!”
Yun Xinyan gently pushed Ye Tian away, but her hand didn’t use much force, showing a kind of ‘playing hard to get’ attitude…
Ye Tian kissed Yun Xinyan but didn’t take advantage of the situation.
Instead, he said seriously, “Wife, I’ve thought it over.
As the husband of Yun Corporation’s CEO, I should also shoulder the business of Yun Corporation!”
“…”
Yun Xinyan stared at Ye Tian in astonishment, rendered speechless.
Ever since she knew Ye Tian, the man had always appeared nonchalant and unserious, never taking an active part in Yun Corporation’s affairs.
Even when she appointed Ye Tian as the head of Yun Corporation’s security team, he was always inconsistent, frequently late or leaving early, and she could only turn a blind eye.
Yun Xinyan couldn’t help but sigh to herself.
With such a husband, she had resigned herself to her fate; she had never expected that one day Ye Tian would take on the responsibility for Yun Corporation!
But what had happened today?
Had Ye Tian suddenly changed his ways?
Or was it that he picked up the wrong script?
Unconsciously, Yun Xinyan’s hand reached out and pinched Ye Tian’s face fiercely!
“Ouch ouch ouch!
Wife, what are you doing?”
Ye Tian winced, and Yun Xinyan quickly apologized, “Ye Tian, I just wanted to see if you were wearing a facial mask because you seem different today.
I suspected someone might be impersonating you.”
“…”
Ye Tian’s face was covered with an exasperated expression – so this was how he appeared in his wife’s eyes.
A facial mask?
He was amused by her imagination!
“Wife, how could anyone impersonate someone as handsome as me with a facial mask?
No matter how good the imitation, could it be as handsome and dashing as me?”
Ye Tian displayed a roguish smile, and Yun Xinyan looked him over carefully, finally feeling reassured.
Indeed, the man in front of her was her husband Ye Tian.
While face-changing techniques might let someone look like Ye Tian, the thick skin he had was something no one could imitate.
“Ye Tian, since when did you take such an interest in the business of Yun Corporation?”
Yun Xinyan asked, astonished.
Ye Tian touched Yun Xinyan’s belly and said tenderly, “My dear wife, isn’t it only natural?
If you were pregnant with our little baby, of course, you wouldn’t be able to work anymore.
So the work of Yun Corporation would naturally fall onto my shoulders!”
“…”
Yun Xinyan was deeply touched by Ye Tian’s words.
In fact, before trying to conceive, Yun Xinyan had considered how the company would operate during her pregnancy, childbirth, and confinement, but Yun Corporation was not just about herself.
Apart from the chairman, there were also the general manager and deputy general managers who were all very familiar with the operations of Yun Corporation.
They could manage the company just fine in her absence.
