House Chen’s Crisis

“Yun, what do you think of a retail house? If the neighborhood is big enough, we can open a barbeque shop and it’ll be enough to feed ourselves,” Mrs. Tang asked.

“I think that will work. You should open a business if you and Dad have nothing to do,” Tang Yun nodded.

“With three million in the bank, we’ll get 100,000 yuan of interest after saving it in there for a year. What can you do to earn so much?” Tang Jucheng thought through about it carefully and thought that it was better to save it in the bank. They would gain without loss!

“That’s true…” Mrs. Tang hesitated and didn’t know what to do, “Yun, your Dad has a reason. We’ll get a large amount of interest from saving it in the bank!”

“Uh… I don’t know much about it, should we ask Lin Yi tomorrow? Let’s see what he says.” She’d never seen this much money before and she didn’t know how to manage the finances. She didn’t want to give any advice without having knowledge about it.

Early in the next morning, Lin Yi was woken up by Song Lingshan’s call. He looked at the phone and it was only half past five. Lin Yi fumed. He was cultivating inside the jade pendant and she interrupted her.

“What’s wrong with you, calling so early in the morning?” Lin Yi yelled through the phone.

“I…” Song Lingshan felt wronged. It was half-past five and it wasn’t early for those who practiced martial arts. Waking up early to practice was extremely important. Song Lingshan had always done so in the past twenty years, “Don’t you have to wake up early to practice martial arts?”

“Practice your sister,” Lin Yi replied gloomily, “Don’t compare your situation to mine. I always woke up whenever I wanted to.”?

“Uh… You are interested in my sister?” Song Lingshan froze.

“How could I be interested in her if I’ve never even seen her before?” Lin Yi was speechless at Song Lingshan’s logic, “Do you have something you need to say or not?”

“Yes. You agreed to have a look at Liu Bojia, didn’t you?” Song Lingshan asked carefully, “I’m ready…”

“Wait for me at the hospital,” Lin Yi yawned and got up once recalled what Song Lingshan asked yesterday, “I’ll go soon.”

“Ok. You haven’t eaten breakfast yet, have you? Shall Miss Brainless make some for you?” Song Lingshan was afraid that Lin Yi wouldn’t try his best and tell her that he couldn’t heal him although he could. She tried her best to please him.

“Make some then,” Lin Yi replied and hung up. He was used to Song Lingshan pleasing him.

Lin Yi got up and found the ingredients needed for porridge in the kitchen for Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu, set it on a timer and left.

Lin Yi also agreed to buy a house with Tang Yun’s family. He wanted to solve Liu Bojia’s problem as soon as possible so he didn’t have time to wait for porridge to cook at home.

He drove a van to People’s First Hospital and called Song Lingshan.

“You’re here?” Song Lingshan was surprised. She didn’t think that Lin Yi would come so quickly. It looked like Lin Yi didn’t let her down.

Chen Yutian also arrived at the hospital early in the morning. He couldn’t sleep well as he felt down after hearing that Song Lingshan found someone she liked. He knew that he had no hope left, and he was ready to see how capable the man Song Lingshan loved was. Of course, he held the authority to challenge him! If he surpassed him one day!

“I’m in the car park, where are you?” Lin Yi asked.

“I’m in the third impatient department, room 2119 in the ICU on the top floor,” Song Lingshan replied.

“Alright, I’ll head over now,” Lin Yi got off the car and headed towards the destination.

When Chen Yutian heard that the man was arriving soon, he couldn’t help but get nervous, “Song Lingshan, he’s here?”

“Almost,” Song Lingshan nodded. She was extremely unhappy with Chen Yutian’s nervousness. Why couldn’t he be more of a man? Even if Lin Yi was more powerful than him, there was no need to be so anxious, was there?

Chen Yutian nodded and felt like he was a failure. He pursued Song Lingshan for so many years and ended up in defeat.

He picked the wrong style in the first place. He used to act like a rich and powerful young master, but Song Lingshan never looked up to that type. When he wanted to surpass Song Lingshan’s strength, it was already too late. If it wasn’t for a great teacher’s guidance, he wouldn’t even be able to break through to the golden stage in his lifetime.

Although he was disappointed, Chen Yutian didn’t regret it. If it wasn’t for Song Lingshan’s words, he wouldn’t have picked the road he decided through today! Although he wasn’t the most powerful amongst the children of the Houses, placing at the initial stage of the golden class wasn’t weak either! At least his grandpa wasn’t disappointed in him!

He was the only son in the third generation of House Chen, and it was impossible for Chen Yushu to practice martial arts. If he wasn’t strong enough, his house would have most likely been expelled from the four great houses by House Yu after a few years!

Hence, Chen Yutian felt a sense of danger and crisis. He was too young to consider this now, but he had no choice but to look out for his family! Out of the three generations, no one else could stand solidly amongst everyone else other than his grandfather!

His grandfather practiced martial arts, focusing on combat skills, and it was different from those who practiced spiritual strength. The older he was, the purer his internal energy became. However, if his body wasn’t in good condition, he wouldn’t be able to keep up with his combat ability.

Now that his grandfather’s body wasn’t in the best condition, even if he was in his peak at the middle stage of the mystic class, who knew where he was? Wu Gonggao from House Wu had been jumping around, declaring that he wanted to challenge Chen Yutian’s grandfather. In reality, he just wanted to probe around House Chen to see what their limits were and how much strength they had left!

After settling for so long, some houses should be replaced! Naturally, House Wu wanted to get rid of House Chen and replace them through connections with houses they were close with. House Kang recently tried to climb up to House Wu, and they had the same intentions.

Although House Chen, as one of the famous houses, seemed glamorous on the outside, their position was being threatened.

Chen Yutian knew it clearly and so did his grandfather.

This was why his grandfather supported him in pursuing Song Lingshan. If they joined in marriage, those who longed for their position would reconsider their position!

However, Chen Yutian didn’t succeed since Song Lingshan didn’t have eyes for him. Chen Yutian called his grandfather last night, and his grandfather sighed at his grandson’s late realization. What could they do about it now?
