"Number one? Hahaha, I am not number one."

Ye Lingxiao shook his head, "What's so great about being the best in the world? In times of peace, it's better to stay at home, play chess, and raise dogs."

Ye Beichen was a bit shocked!

Ye Lingxiao!

Even though Ye Beichen wasn't a soldier, he had heard of this name.

In fact, since elementary school, he had been influenced by it.

Who in the entire Dragon Nation didn't know Ye Lingxiao?

The greatest War God of the current era in Dragon Nation was this man!

Ye Lingxiao had fought countless battles in his life, known as the Military God of Dragon Nation!

His status and reputation were earned on the battlefield!

Ye Lingxiao was almost the faith of all soldiers in Dragon Nation!

Although he was never officially titled a Grand Marshal, he was a War God!

To countless people who joined the military, Ye Lingxiao was the uncrowned king, the true Military God of Dragon Nation!

At this moment, facing Ye Lingxiao, Ye Beichen felt like he was facing a fierce tiger!

"Old Ye, I came today..." Ye Beichen spoke solemnly.

Ye Lingxiao smiled slightly, interrupting Ye Beichen, "I know why you came to the Ye Family. Mingyuan has already left Dragon Capital, and I know everything. Asking me won't change anything."

Ye Beichen's breathing became rapid.

"Am I... a member of the Ye Family?" Ye Beichen was stunned.

Ye Lingxiao sighed, "Yes, and no."

"What do you mean? Is Ye Mingyuan my father or not?!!!" Ye Beichen stepped forward.

"I wish Mingyuan were your father," Ye Lingxiao sighed helplessly, "But what qualifications does he have to be with your mother?"

"What do you mean?"

Ye Beichen was dumbfounded.

"What kind of person was my mother? Do you know her?"

"Who is she?"

"What is her name?"

"Where is she? Is she alive or dead?"

Ye Beichen almost shouted.

Ye Lingxiao calmly looked at Ye Beichen, paused for a moment, and then said, "Your mother was an extraordinary woman. When she came to the Ye Family, she was already pregnant."

"Mingyuan claimed you as his illegitimate child to protect your mother's identity."

"After giving birth to you, your mother left some things behind and disappeared."

"Is that true?" Ye Beichen was a bit confused.

He originally thought he was close to uncovering his background.

But Ye Lingxiao's words made everything mysterious again.

"Ye Mingyuan is not my father?"

Ye Lingxiao shook his head, "He isn't, but others might think he is."

"Back then, only a few people knew about this."

Ye Beichen's face darkened, "If he's not my father, why does he want to kill me?"

Ye Lingxiao fell silent, pondering for a moment.

"Before your mother left, she left behind some things, very powerful and terrifying," Ye Lingxiao said.

"Mingyuan was tempted by these things and lost his mind! Plus, he married a woman from a powerful family who didn't want you alive! Even though you're not Mingyuan's son."

Hearing Ye Lingxiao's words, Ye Beichen was a bit confused, "What do you mean?"

"Only this jade pendant is left."

Ye Lingxiao didn't answer Ye Beichen directly but took out a white jade pendant and tossed it to Ye Beichen.

"This is something my mother left behind?"

Ye Beichen caught the white jade pendant, feeling a shock in his heart.

The jade pendant was very warm.

Holding it, it gave a sense of warmth.

It was intricately carved with two dragons, lifelike in detail.

Ye Lingxiao said, "This is just one of them."

"What about the other things my mother left behind?" Ye Beichen raised his head, staring at Ye Lingxiao like a wolf.

Ye Lingxiao was slightly stunned!

As expected of that woman's son!

"Five years ago, they were still in Mingyuan's hands, but now that woman has taken them," Ye Lingxiao shook his head, somewhat helpless.

"Who is that woman?"

Ye Beichen's eyes were filled with coldness.

She took what his mother left behind and wanted to kill him?

No matter who she was, in Ye Beichen's heart, she was already dead.

Ye Lingxiao fell silent again!

After a long time, he finally said, "People from an ancient martial family."

"Ancient martial family?"

It was the first time Ye Beichen had heard this term.

Ye Lingxiao nodded solemnly, "Ancient martial families are unknown to the world, but they have existed for countless years."

"Since ancient times, during the feudal dynasties, ancient martial families were terrifying."

"They don't participate in disputes, but no one dares to underestimate them."

"For ancient martial families, a Martial Grandmaster is just the beginning. Can you imagine? In an ancient martial family, even a janitor or a stable boy might be a Grandmaster-Level Martial Artist."

Ye Beichen was a bit surprised.

If what Ye Lingxiao said was true, then it was quite terrifying.

"What exactly did my mother leave behind that even ancient martial families covet?" Ye Beichen asked.

Ye Lingxiao picked up a chess piece and slowly placed it down, "Some formulas and elixirs to enhance a martial artist's strength, originally meant for you."

"Formulas? Elixirs!"

Ye Beichen's pupils contracted.

As a disciple of the Medicine King, he knew what formulas and elixirs meant for martial artists.

Typically, martial artists enhance their strength by soaking in medicinal baths!

Decades, even centuries-old herbs are boiled into a pot.

Martial artists soak in it to enhance their martial prowess!

Many Martial Grandmasters in the world have improved this way.

But Martial Grandmasters who improved this way are usually defeated quickly in battles against those who trained diligently.

However, if one enhances their martial prowess by taking elixirs, it's no different from those who trained hard.

If an ancient family obtained a formula.

Then mass-produced elixirs.

And mass-produced Grandmasters.

The consequences would be unimaginable!

"The formulas and elixirs were left for you by your mother," Ye Lingxiao sighed, "Mingyuan's selfishness led him to claim these things for himself, fearing your revenge, which is why he hunted you down."

Ye Beichen instantly understood.

Ye Mingyuan wanted to kill him to silence him!

Formulas and elixirs that could enhance a martial artist's cultivation indeed could drive Ye Mingyuan to take such risks.

"If you see Ye Mingyuan in the future, can you spare him?" Ye Lingxiao asked.

Ye Mingyuan was his son.

Ye Beichen smiled, "Even if Ye Mingyuan didn't try to kill me, he killed my foster parents and my elder brother!"

"My foster parents are as important to me as my mother."

"So, Ye Mingyuan must die!"

Ye Beichen's words were resolute.

No room for negotiation!

"Sigh."

Ye Lingxiao stood still, sighed deeply, and nodded silently.

After a moment, he finally said, "Ye Beichen, I've told you everything I know."

"I hope you don't blame the Ye Family. I won't stop you from killing Ye Mingyuan, nor do I have the power to stop you."

The more he knew, the more Ye Lingxiao realized how terrifying this young man was!

As the Military God of Dragon Nation, he didn't dare to have the thought of killing Ye Beichen!

Ye Beichen looked at Ye Lingxiao, the Military God of Dragon Nation, who was already old.

"Alright, I will only kill Ye Mingyuan, and I won't come to the Ye Family of Dragon Capital again."

Ye Beichen nodded, turned, and left the Ye Mansion.

He had gotten the answers he wanted!

After leaving the Ye Mansion, Ye Beichen walked down the street, holding the jade pendant.

Suddenly, his mind went blank, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Ye Beichen?"

Wei Yanran, leaving the charity gala feeling extremely frustrated, was driving around the streets when she happened to see Ye Beichen fall.

"Screech—!"

She slammed on the brakes.

Wei Yanran helped him up, "Ye Beichen, what's wrong with you?"
