57 -57: Revitalizing the Ye Family, Relying on Ye Tianchen?

After dinner at the old Ye family house, Ye Tianchen was drinking tea in the large courtyard to cool off and chatting with his mother, Luo Yan, and his younger sister, Ye Qianwen, enjoying this peaceful life.

Truth be told, the peaceful life Ye Tianchen wanted to enjoy wasn’t because he was content with simplicity.

He just wanted to spend quiet, happy times with his parents and sister without disturbances from others.

If someone was insensitive enough to intrude, well, they would be met with apologies and a fist.

As a Divine-level superpower expert reborn in the city, Ye Tianchen, in his past life, had been a fanatic for battle, constantly in the throes of heated combat, his blood ignited by the fights.

City life could sometimes be too dull, so Ye Tianchen didn’t mind seeking out some fun, such as challenging superpower experts and masters from Ancient Martial Sects, and taking the opportunity to enhance his superpower.

“Brother, what did Grandpa want with Dad?” Ye Qianwen asked curiously.

“I’m not quite sure, probably just some father-son time to catch up, especially since Dad and Grandfather haven’t connected emotionally for a long time!” Ye Tianchen said, looking up at the starlight, his tone nonchalant. freewebnøvel.coɱ

“Over the years, Grandpa seems to have always harbored some prejudice against Dad.

I’m not sure if it’s because we bought another house outside, or because your big uncle and second uncle have been stirring things up.

I hope this time they can get along well,” Luo Yan said with some concern.

“Mom, don’t worry too much.

Have some tea and look at the beautiful night scene.

I think Dad is having a good time chatting!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

Ye Tianchen had a thorough understanding of what his father, Ye Hong, and his grandfather, Ye Yuanshan, were discussing in the Ye family study.

With the strength of a King-level superpower expert, although not the strongest in the modern city, it was sufficient to dominate much of China, especially with superpower perception reaching certain limits, allowing Ye Tianchen to have already extended his superpower perception and to know everything about the Ye family old house.

In the apocalypse, the superpower user levels ranged from one to nine, and above Level 9 were Monarch, King, Emperor, Divine, and Emperor Levels.

The higher the level, the stronger the superpower, which was also the most formidable.

Of course, that’s not to say that Level 1 to 9 superpower users were weak.

It’s important to note that besides level classification, there are also categories of abilities.

Overall, superpower categories are divided into five main types:

Elemental system — Wind, Fire, Electricity, Water, Earth, Wood, Light, among seven subcategories, are the most common in superpowers, and most superpower Awakeners belong to this system.

Enhancement System — the ability to enhance, alter, or strengthen a certain body capability, including enhancing special types of items like weapons, ammunition, metals, and other unique categories.

Spiritual system —

capable of influencing human brainwaves, the most terrifying ability among all categories, killing invisibly or even destroying others by imprinting one’s own spiritual mark.

The impact on the strength, level, and potential of nearly all other superpower systems can be profound.

Awakeners in this category are few, and those born with a spiritual system are one in a million.

Domain System — includes abilities like the Defense System that function similarly to fields, making their wielders nearly invincible within a certain spatial range.

Of course, this only applies to those of the same level or those not vastly different in level.

This type has high demands on spiritual power, thus Awakeners are rare.

Special system — abilities that don’t neatly fit into other categories are placed here, with abilities that are strange, numerous, and varied.

The strongest as well as the most useless often come from this system, which truly demonstrates what superpowers can be, the embodiment of limitless potential.

Therefore, among some superpower categories, even if their superpower isn’t that strong, they possess very special abilities.

Once used, even superpower experts above Monarch Level can be frustrated.

To illustrate simply, if a Domain System superpower user extends their domain ability to the limit with a move like the “Eternal Banishment,” sending someone into limitless darkness, anyone would be at a loss.

The first time Ye Tianchen encountered Xiao Qing using a superpower, he knew that in this city, there must be both Ancient Martial Sect masters and very powerful superpower users.

He just didn’t know how strong some superpower users in certain categories might be.

It was indeed something to look forward to.

At that moment, Ye Tianchen lay back in the rattan chair, gazing at the stars above while sensing everything about the Ye family old house.

He also overheard his father, Ye Hong, and his grandfather, Ye Yuanshan, talking and learned some things.

“Honger, over the years Dad has had some prejudices against you.

Do you have any grievances?” Ye Yuanshan sat in front of his study desk, while Ye Hong was seated on the sofa.

“Dad, I know you have had your difficulties too.

‘A happy family leads to prosperity in all endeavors,’ I understand all that!” Ye Hong nodded as he spoke.

Ye Yuanshan smiled as he looked at Ye Hong and honestly, among his three sons, it was Ye Hong, his third son, who was the most filial and sensible.

However, over the years, he had seemed somewhat dismissive of Ye Hong publicly, seemingly targeting him, which confused many people.

Without any apparent reason, why was he not treating his third son well?

“Hmm, I am really happy that you think this way.

To tell you the truth, my being dismissive towards you over the years was all intentional,” Ye Yuanshan said as he looked at Ye Hong.

“Dad, you…” Ye Hong was surprised.

He had thought it was his two brothers who were always speaking ill of him to their father, leading to their father gradually becoming distant from him.

To hear Ye Yuanshan say it was intentional was confusing for Ye Hong.

“Honger, listen to me.

Since I stepped down, among you three brothers, none seemed capable of shouldering the big responsibilities.

Your two brothers, let’s not even talk about them; all they do is scheme and fight over the family assets, nothing like someone who could rise to the occasion.

Only you had that chance.

But since I retired, even maintaining your position as the Deputy Mayor of H City was already quite good, let alone advancing further.

Over the years, I’ve noticed something; it seemed like someone up there was targeting the Ye family.

Otherwise, with my previous connections, you would have been promoted long ago.

To avoid implicating you, I began to distance myself from you and acted dismissive, so as not to affect your career and to prevent our Ye family from losing all its reputation…” Ye Yuanshan said earnestly.

Hearing his father Ye Yuanshan’s words, Ye Hong was stunned and then suddenly understood.

No wonder his father had suddenly become distant a few years ago, started being dismissive toward him, and even tried to drive him out of the Ye family old mansion several times.

It turned out to be for this reason.

It seemed Ye Yuanshan had been far-sighted, considering the whole family.

“Dad, I understand now, and I will strive hard!” Ye Hong looked at his father.

He too was a part of the Ye family, which, before Ye Yuanshan stepped down, was one of the top families in Capital City, quite glorious.

But since Ye Yuanshan retired, none of the descendants of the Ye family had made it to the upper echelons, and the family’s fortunes had gradually declined.

How could Ye Hong not be anxious and pained?

“No, Honger, I called you here to tell you the truth, not to make you strive for more personal success, but to tell you that the hope for revitalizing the Ye family rests on Tianchen,” Ye Yuanshan said as he mentioned his grandson Ye Tianchen, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

He had held high positions before and had seen many people.

He trusted his judgment—that the once profligate grandson had changed, possessing extraordinary courage and domineering skills, perhaps truly capable of taking the Ye family to a prominent status once again in Capital City!

“Dad, Tianchen, the child, was spoiled by me earlier, causing quite a lot of trouble for the family.

Although he has changed recently, depending on him to revitalize the Ye family seems a bit improbable, doesn’t it?” Ye Hong said with a somewhat disbelieving smile.

Ye Hong knew that his son Ye Tianchen had changed after returning from the military, shedding his previous frivolous image.

Although often still acting carelessly with his ruffian swagger, Ye Hong could feel his son was different from before.

His manner, attitude, and tough methods, even for someone who grew up in a major family, were sometimes astonishing.

Just having the audacity to stand up to the Luo family and call Luo Songcheng an ‘old fool’, that kind of boldness was rare in Capital City.

Yet, even with these changes in Ye Tianchen, which might protect the family to some extent, relying on him to revitalize the Ye family was still hard for Ye Hong to believe.

He understood that revitalizing a family, especially in Capital City, where many powerful families and forces were present, was incredibly difficult.

It wasn’t just a matter of fighting; intelligence and cunning were crucial.

Relying on one person to uplift a family was almost a fantasy, and such a scenario had not happened in China for nearly a hundred years.

“Haha, Honger, it seems you still don’t understand your son very well.

Think about the series of actions he took after returning from the military…

his decisive breakup with the Qi family, which got you the position of the Municipal Party Secretary of H City, and promoted you two levels; facing provocations from the Luo family, he directly used strong methods to kill someone, shaking Capital City.

You might say he is reckless, but I say, he truly has guts and daring…

I believe he can do it!” Ye Yuanshan said with a smile.

“Dad, then what you mean is…” Ye Hong paused and then asked.

“I will find a way, use my former connections, to get him on a career path, whether in politics or the military, at least to enter a position on one level, and then gradually progress from there.” Ye Yuanshan said seriously.

“Dad, but Tianchen is still a freshman at Longteng University, and it’s almost two months before he reports there!” Ye Hong said.

“No problem, he can manage both.

Who says a student cannot hold an office?

As long as he has the talent…” Ye Yuanshan said, a smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.
