CHAPTER 451: CHAPTER 450 FIRE PHOENIX AND ASURA (3/5)

Opening the letter, it listed details of the situation, clearly recording the birthdates of Ye Xin and Yang Chen.

Additionally, there was a worn-out red paper marriage contract.

That’s right!

Old Master Ye remembered everything.

Back in Ningchuan, Elder Ye indeed arranged a childhood engagement for Ye Xin, with the other party being the Yang family, and the individual was Yang Chen.

It must be said that at that time, Elder Ye was very fond of the intelligent Yang Chen, even allowing Yang Chen to follow him for a long time.

Recalling it now, Elder Ye couldn’t help but feel nostalgic.

However, hasn’t the Yang family already been destroyed?

Thinking about the events that led to the downfall of the Yang family, Elder Ye couldn’t help but frown.

He stared at Ye Xin and asked, "How did you find him?"

"Destiny!" Ye Xin only said these two words.

Their encounter was purely due to destiny.

"Destiny?" Elder Ye couldn’t help but sigh.

The older he got, the more he understood fate, and the more he believed in it.

The Yang family perished over a decade ago, so for Ye Xin to meet Yang Chen again, one must say it’s a kind of destiny.

But... ultimately, this is a doomed fate.

The two of them... ultimately can’t be together.

Elder Ye sighed and said to Ye Xin, "Do you know about the Yang family?"

"I know!" Ye Xin nodded.

"Do you understand, if this were ancient times, the entire clan would be exterminated, and if Yang Chen’s identity were exposed, do you think those in power would spare him? Even though this isn’t ancient feudal times, those in power absolutely wouldn’t allow someone like Yang Chen to exist, do you understand?" Elder Ye stared at Ye Xin and asked.

Ye Xin nodded, "I understand!"

"So you still choose to be with him?" Elder Ye asked.

"Yes!" Ye Xin nodded, "If you don’t say anything, and I don’t say anything, who would know he’s from the Yang family?"

"But someone will always know." Elder Ye sighed and said to Ye Xin, "Do you really think information sources for those in power are that simple? Everything we do is under control, isn’t it?"

"So what? I love him, and I want to share both joy and hardship with him, face everything together!" Ye Xin said.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Xin added, "No matter what difficulties! Life and death together!"

"Together in life and death..." Elder Ye couldn’t help recalling many old faces, but unfortunately, not many are still alive.

Elder Ye sighed, shook his head, and said, "There are many things beyond our control!"

"But no one can stop me and Yang Chen!" Ye Xin said firmly.

Elder Ye waved his hand and said, "Alright! Go call Yang Chen in, I have something to say to him alone!"

Ye Xin thought for a moment, then nodded, stood up, and walked out.

As soon as Yang Chen saw Ye Xin come out, he immediately walked up and asked, "How did it go?"

Ye Xin shook her head and told Yang Chen, "Grandpa wants you to go in, he has something to say to you."

Yang Chen felt a wave of tension and asked, "Did he say anything to you?"

Ye Xin thought for a moment, and lightly shook her head.

Seeing this, Yang Chen knew Ye Xin didn’t want to say, so he didn’t press further and walked into the room.

Upon entering, Yang Chen saw Elder Ye lying on the sofa, hands clasped on his stomach, coldly staring at him.

Yang Chen respectfully walked over and said, "Old man, you called for me."

"Do you know you’re not worthy of Ye Xin?" Elder Ye began directly.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen frowned and said to Elder Ye, "Old man, I’ve heard this phrase hundreds of times in the past two days."

"Then you should understand, don’t be a burden to Ye Xin." Elder Ye said.

Yang Chen couldn’t help but chuckle lightly and said to Elder Ye, "How is that being a burden?"

Since Elder Ye was so blunt, Yang Chen sat down without formality, stared at Elder Ye, and prepared for a tough battle.

"Did I ask you to sit down?" Elder Ye frowned.

Yang Chen replied, "A sofa is meant for sitting."

"But it depends on the person, some people are only fit for a hard bench."

"Not everyone stays on the cold bench forever."

"But many things can’t be changed!"

"Like what?"

"Such as?" Elder Ye sneered, "Such as you not being worthy of Ye Xin, ever."

Yang Chen impatiently leaned back on the sofa, stared at Elder Ye, and said, "Then tell me, what would make me worthy?"

"I know your identity, you’re only..."

Yang Chen interrupted Elder Ye, "Say no more, don’t you know that during your isolation these two days, the news is already outdated?"

Elder Ye couldn’t help but frown.

"If you say I lack authority, then let me tell you, I’m the former instructor of the Dragon Tooth Squad, and even now if I command Dragon Tooth, it’s still valid!"

Elder Ye was shocked and looked at Yang Chen in surprise, not expecting Yang Chen to be the legendary Guard instructor.

If that’s the case, then it’s not simple.

"Dragon Tooth Squad’s commander, before retiring, I had the rank of colonel, so I barely have some authority, right? If that’s not enough, I have other leverage, perhaps more useful." Yang Chen said.

He didn’t know that his rank had already been promoted during this time.

"What?" Elder Ye asked.

Yang Chen shook his head, "Having Dragon Tooth is already enough, isn’t it?"

Elder Ye frowned, his gaze fixed on Yang Chen, as if trying to see through him.

However, the more he looked, the more he felt Yang Chen was unfathomable, as if shrouded in a thick fog.

"Furthermore!" Yang Chen continued, "If you think I can’t provide for Ye Xin, I can offer assets worth billions, there’s no issue with that. I have both money and power, and we have love too, what more do you want? Just say it!"

Elder Ye opened his mouth, but couldn’t speak.

By his standards, Yang Chen certainly met them.

From identity to strength, it seemed difficult to find fault with Yang Chen.

After thinking for a while, Elder Ye frowned and said, "But do you know you’ll bring a lot of danger to Ye Xin."

"I know!" Yang Chen said, "But I’ll protect her!"

"Protect? Nothing is foolproof!" Elder Ye snorted coldly.

Yang Chen also snorted coldly, countering, "When you sent Ye Xin to become an agent, you should have known nothing is foolproof."

Elder Ye raised an eyebrow, "You know Ye Xin’s identity?"

Yang Chen shook his head, "I just know she’s an agent."

Elder Ye nodded, looked at Yang Chen, and said solemnly, "She’s like you, the finest Flame Country has to offer, the pride of our Ye family. You should have heard of her title—Fire Phoenix!"

"What?!" Yang Chen was taken aback, his eyes widened.

The name Fire Phoenix was well-known to him, almost legendary.

The legendary Fire Phoenix, coming and going without a trace, every appearance leaving someone in distress, with methods so secretive, many countries suffered in silence, unable to speak out.

Now, Yang Chen finally realized that the person who had always been beside him was actually the legendary Fire Phoenix.

"This..." Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Someone once joked: If anyone could match Fire Phoenix, it would be the legendary Asura King.

Others said: Only the legendary Fire Phoenix could match the Asura King.

Unexpectedly, they were truly together now.
