Chapter One: The Return of Youth

audiobook novel free 2026-03-02 23:09:35 6

In the outskirts of Luzhou, Sichuan Province, a ragged old man walked alone with a worn-out backpack.

That slightly disheveled appearance, yet his eyes shone with a divine fervor.

With a graceful posture, he gazed at the towering skyscrapers in the distance. His eyes were distant and he muttered softly.

"Eight years! I, Ye Chen, have kept my words and fulfilled my promises!"

Ye Chen clenched his fists, the scene from eight years ago, the day he turned ten, seemed to replay in his mind.

"Ye Chen, you bring misfortune to my Ye family, the root of our lineage!"

"I, Yemou, as the fifteenth head of the Ye family, hereby announce that I am expelling Ye Chen from the Ye family. His martial lineage is revoked, and all resources are stripped from him. No one within the Ye family, at any level, is allowed to have any contact with him. Anyone found violating this will be immediately expelled from the Ye family!"

The Ye Family in the capital city, a martial arts family from ancient times, even though they reside in the capital, they are still one of the top aristocratic families in the world!

That book was once his lifelong dedication to his family, a source of unparalleled glory in his heart. However, all of this was shattered on that day eight years ago!

At that time, he had confusion, but also anger.

Why would a grandfather who doted on him make him the family's scapegoat?

Why would a father who doted on him so much resort to such cruelty, banishing him?

He wasn't even given a chance to explain himself before his father, Ye Yunlong, personally took action, digging out his martial meridian and crippling him completely.

Even now, Ye Chen still remembers the cold and resolute look on Ye Yunlong's face when he abandoned him in the deep mountains and forests. He hadn't even forgotten every tiny detail.

But he didn't die. Eight years ago on that night, he endured the excruciating pain and leaned against a big tree, making a vow to Ye Yunlong who had turned away.

"Ye Yunlong, everything I have learned, comes from you. You dug into my meridians and ruined my foundation. I don't hate you, but for your kindness to me, I consider it repaid!"

From today onwards, I, Ye Chen, have severed all ties with you, Ye Yunlong, and the entire Ye family!

"I, Ye Chen, swear here that I will not die. I will stand above all of you with this name!"

In the future, I will make the Ye family hold their heads high! I will make all of you regret everything you have done to me today!

Ye Yunlong heard his words, only a slight pause, but he did not turn back, still coldly leaving.

Perhaps in Ye Yunlong's eyes, Ye Chen had absolutely no chance of surviving under such circumstances. Even if he survived, he would only be a useless cripple afterward, so how could he possibly seek revenge?

At that time, he was just a joke in Ye Yunlong's eyes!

But whether it was Yemou or Ye Yunlong, they perhaps never expected that the ten-year-old child they had banished to the mountains and left to die all those years ago, did not die.

And now, after countless cycles of life and death, he has been reborn. He has emerged from the depths of hell.

Recalling the cruel methods Ye Shan and Ye Yunlong had inflicted on him, a cold smile appeared on Ye Chen's face.

"Yezhan, Yeyunlong, Ye Family, when I stand before you again, your faces will surely be colorful, won't they?"

His fist clenched, knuckles cracking. Those memories, too, were temporarily held at bay in his heart.

"Lu Cheng, you will be the first stop for my conquest of the world!"

Ye Chen's eyes twinkled like stars, and with a light tap of his foot, he disappeared into thin air.

Lu Cheng, Taoxi Garden Villas.

A beautiful woman had just opened the door when she saw a ragged, beggar-like person standing at the entrance. She was taken aback.

"Hey! Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"Aunt He, it's me!"

The one who came was Ye Chen. He said with a slight apology.

"Are you...Xiao Chen?"

The woman carefully examined it and exclaimed in surprise.

"It's really Xiao Chen!"

Ye Chen nodded lightly, and the surprise on the woman's face dissipated, replaced by astonishment.

"Come in quickly, let Aunt He have a good look!"

Ignoring the dust on Ye Chen, she pulled him in and looked him up and down.

"It's been years, you've grown taller!"

Ye Chen smiled faintly: "It's been six years, I didn't expect Aunt He to still remember me!"

Mrs. He Huimin is someone Ye Chen unexpectedly met during his eight years of hardship. Back then, Ye Chen had nothing and was down on his luck. It was He Huimin who helped him, a kindness he has always remembered and deeply appreciates. He feels very grateful to her.

"How could you forget, Aunt He got lost in the mountains back then. If it weren't for you, I don't know if I would have been able to make it out!"

He Huimin was smiling brightly. Seeing Ye Chen, she was very happy.

"Auntie He, this time I came is..."

Ye Chen was talking while packing his bag, but He Huimin got to it before him and put his shoulder bag down.

"Don't say so much first, Xiaocheng, go wash up quickly, I'll find you some clothes to change into!"

After finishing his words, he unceremoniously pushed Ye Chen into the bathroom.

Ye Chen had no choice but to obey. As soon as he stepped into the corridor, a burst of light footsteps came from upstairs, followed by a sharp cry.

"Ah!"

"Who are you, and how did you get into my house?"

Ye Chen tilted his head slightly, but saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old standing at the foot of the stairs.
