Chapter 58 - Superpower Has Different Colors

When Ye Tianchen and his family left the old Ye family mansion, it was already around eleven o’clock at night.

Seeing his father, Ye Hong, emerge from Grandfather Ye Yuanshan’s study with a brilliant smile, Luo Yan was very happy, and so was Ye Qianwen, although they didn’t know what the grandfather and Ye Hong had discussed.

However, it seemed to have been a pleasant conversation.

As a devoted son like Ye Hong, being able to have a joyful conversation with his father was the most delightful thing for him, especially since in recent years, father Ye Yuanshan had been quite cold towards him, which left Ye Hong feeling wronged and a bit heartbroken.

But all that was behind them now, and the reason, unexpectedly, was his son, Ye Tianchen.

As he walked out of the study, his father’s words had a profound meaning and kept echoing in his mind.

He couldn’t help but look closely at Ye Tianchen, just as his father Ye Yuanshan had said, “Nowadays, Tianchen must not be seen with the same eyes as before, perhaps he is about to make a name for himself in the Capital City, even across China.

The rise of the Ye family might just depend on him…”

Sitting in the sedan, Grandfather Ye Yuanshan had the family chauffeur drive Ye Tianchen’s family back home in his private car.

Luo Yan and Ye Qianwen were very happy throughout the trip.

After so many years, the grandfather had finally let go of his reservations, and being able to live together happily as a family was what mattered most.

Ye Hong glanced at his son, Ye Tianchen, and smiling, he said, “Tianchen, it’s been twenty years, you’ve finally grown up.

Dad is really proud and hopes that you can take up the mantle!”

“Dad, that sounds like there’s more to it.

Just say whatever it is.

We father and son don’t need to be so formal, do we?” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

Having already heard the conversation between Ye Hong and Ye Yuanshan through his superpower perception, Ye Tianchen guessed what his father wanted to say, so he asked so directly.

“Haha, my boy, you’re getting cleverer and cleverer.

Well, Dad will just say it then.

I’m happy to see your change, but I still want you to do what you can.

There are many powerful families and forces in the Capital City, hidden dragons and crouching tigers, some of which the Ye family really can’t afford to provoke, so I want you to be more cautious,” Ye Hong said with a smile.

Ye Tianchen knew that when his father Ye Hong said this, he wasn’t telling him to be overly cautious or timid in his actions, but to use his intellect more, to advance steadily and carefully.

Revitalizing the Ye family wasn’t an overnight task.

Strength was certainly important, but a clever mind was just as crucial.

“Don’t worry, Dad, if someone can be beaten, I’ll give them a good thrashing.

And for those who can’t be beaten, I’ll create an opportunity to win.

Isn’t there a common saying?

If there’s an opportunity, we take it; if there isn’t, we make one and take it too!” Ye Tianchen said, light-heartedly joking.

“You, my boy, and also your older uncle and second uncle, are my brothers after all, even if they have wronged me, it wouldn’t be right to wrong them back.

When it’s not necessary, don’t target them; after all, they are also your elders,” Ye Hong finally spoke.

“Dad, I really can’t promise you that.

If these two can act like proper elders, naturally, I will respect them.

But if they don’t, they can’t blame me!” Ye Tianchen shook his head and said.

From what Ye Tianchen observed, his older uncle Ye Mubai and second uncle Ye Heguo, to gain more inheritance from the Ye family, had been consistently ostracizing his father Ye Hong, even forcing Ye Tianchen’s family to move out of the Ye family mansion.

But this wasn’t what worried him the most; what he feared was the day Grandfather Ye Yuanshan passed away, not knowing if Ye Mubai and Ye Heguo would treat his father Ye Hong in the same way.

Of course, with him there, no one could touch his loved ones, but he knew that a complete breakup with his brothers would deeply sadden his father.

“Tianchen…”

“Dad, I think the child is right.

You’ve endured so much for the unity of the entire family, it’s time to show some defiance.

If this continues, one day, it might not just be a matter of turning against each other…” Although Luo Yan was a housewife, she was a very intelligent woman and she agreed with her son, Ye Tianchen.

“Ah, I know you’re right, but let’s keep the peace as much as possible,” Ye Hong sighed.

“Dad, you focus on being the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.

Let me handle these minor matters.

I know what I’m doing,” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

When they returned to the Ye family villa, it was already midnight.

Qi Ruxue had long gone to sleep but had left some food on the dining table.

Luo Yan and Ye Qianwen were deeply moved.

They had thought Qi Ruxue, being the precious daughter of the Qi family, would be spoilt and delicate, unaware that she could be both a graceful hostess and capable in the kitchen, and also beautiful and sensible.

Luo Yan couldn’t help but think, having such a girl as a daughter-in-law was truly a blessing.

Meanwhile, Ye Qianwen thought, having sister Ruxue as a sister-in-law, not only would she be well cared for, but it would also be very prestigious!

“What a wonderful child, Tianchen, you scoundrel, how can you not like her?

Are you out of your mind?” Luo Yan looked at the table full of dishes, scornfully addressing her son, Ye Tianchen.

“Brother, I think you really don’t know how blessed you are, Sister Ruxue is in love with you, she must be blind.

She truly loves you, and all she gets in return is your indifference.

How heartbreaking that must be, yet, Sister Ruxue keeps persevering, which just proves how much she loves you, poor Sister Ruxue…

boo-hoo!” Ye Qianwen, the younger sister, also exaggeratedly pretended to cry as she spoke.

“Mom, Sis, I really don’t see what’s so good about Qi Ruxue.

You’re both too deep under her spell, sigh!” Ye Tianchen said with a mix of laughter and tears.

“Idiot!” Both mom and sister yelled at Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen, speechless, shook his head and could only sit down on the sofa.

He watched as his mother, Luo Yan, and his sister continued to enjoy the dinner Qi Ruxue had made, now serving as a midnight snack, while his father, Ye Hong, brewed a cup of tea and sat next to him.

“Tianchen, about Qi Ruxue, your mom has already spoken to me.

If she really is interested in you, and you like her too, then don’t worry too much…” Ye Hong said to his son, Ye Tianchen.

“Dad, it’s really not what you think.

I don’t have any feelings for Qi Ruxue, and she doesn’t like me either.

She’s deceiving you, just doesn’t want to go home and chooses to stay at our place, the Ye family, that’s all.” Ye Tianchen said earnestly.

“Regardless, a guest is a guest and considering Qi Ruxue’s identity, we must treat her well during her stay at our house.

At least when the Qi family comes asking for her, we can hand her back unscathed.

It’s better not to offend the Qi family.

In a place like the Capital City, it’s always better to have one more friend than one more enemy,” Ye Hong said.

“Got it Dad!”

Entering the bathroom, Ye Tianchen took a shower, and by the time he came out, his parents and sister had already gone to their rooms to sleep, and not a bit of food was left on the dining table.

This made Ye Tianchen admire his mom’s and sister’s appetites.

Touching his growling stomach, he felt quite hungry and was pleasantly surprised to find a fruit plate hidden behind other items in the fridge, with neatly sliced apples, pears, peeled oranges, and washed strawberries and cherries—it looked very appetizing and Ye Tianchen could tell just by thinking about it, it must have been prepared by Qi Ruxue, stored in the fridge perhaps to enjoy the next day.

“Such good food would be a waste not to eat, it won’t taste as good after a night.

Don’t blame me…” Ye Tianchen smirked as he took the fruit plate out of the fridge and went straight to his bedroom.

Closing the door, Ye Tianchen placed the fruit plate beside his bed, then sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and slowly perceived the superpower within every inch of his meridians while also stimulating the superpower core in his brain, tempering the superpower.

In fact, all things in the universe, any type of energy, are controlled by mental intent, whether it’s a superpower user stirring up the superpower within, or an Ancient Martial Sect expert consolidating Inner Strength within their meridians—all are controlled by the divine mind, and the most fundamental way to train mental intent is through meditation.

Ye Tianchen slowly entered a state of meditation, sensing the superpower within his body.

King-level superpower was much stronger than Monarch Level, and when Ye Tianchen meditated, he could even see the energy in his meridians faintly emitting a blue light.

He wasn’t surprised by this as he used to be a Divine-level superpower user, and he knew that when the superpower realm reached Divine Level, the emitted superpower would turn silver.

As for Emperor-level superpower experts, the color of the emitted superpower, which he had heard was gold representing the emperor’s invincibility, Ye Tianchen didn’t know.

A small strawberry gradually rose from the fruit plate.

Ye Tianchen still had his eyes closed; he just opened his mouth, and the strawberry quickly entered his mouth.

This was controlled with superpower, practiced within the villa.

Ye Tianchen did not want to make a big noise and disturb his parents’ sleep.

Even the small practice could still enhance control over the superpower.

About an hour later, Ye Tianchen opened his eyes.

The fruits in the plate beside him had all been eaten.

His eyes gathered some of the blue superpower, looking quite magical.

“I wonder when I will be able to control the energy of nature, after all, the energy of a superpower user is limited, far less than the vast energy contained in nature,” Ye Tianchen murmured to himself.
