Chapter 386: Inconceivable!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation | Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Chen walked toward his mother, his legs as heavy as lead.
“Mom, I have a unit in the teachers’ apartments. Let’s go there first.”
Jiang Rong nodded. She supported Ye Chen with one hand and walked toward where he pointed.
As the two of them left the lake, Jiang Rong stopped.
Footsteps could be heard coming from not far away. It seemed like a tall man was walking toward them.
Jiang Rong instinctively raised her vigilance.
Was Lin Juelong back again?
Did Lin Juelong really want to destroy their family?
Her palms were sweaty.
At this moment, Ye Chen’s eyes were also flashing with a cold gleam. He looked at the figure in the darkness and was ready to attack at any time. If things became too dangerous, he would activate the only remaining tombstone.
However, soon, the two of them relaxed. It was Jiang Jianfeng.
Jiang Jianfeng had rushed over from the martial arts arena just to see if Ye Chen was alright. He did not expect that Ye Chen was not the only one he saw, but also his sister who was trapped in the Ghost Prison, Jiang Rong.
His body was almost petrified.
There was an unwritten rule in the martial arts world of Huaxia. As long as one was trapped in the Ghost Prison, they would never be able to leave!
No force was qualified to mess with the Ghost Prison. However, what the hell was going on here?
Jiang Rong had actually escaped the Ghost Prison.
There was a trace of surprise and fear in his eyes. Then, he looked in the direction of Yunhe Lake. The lake was completely dried up, and the ground was split open. At the center of the pit was a huge hole that was still flickering with a faint light.
He knew immediately that this was the entrance to the Ghost Prison.
The entrance had been opened… forcefully!
How was this possible?
His heart was in turmoil.
The Ghost Prison was known to be impregnable in Huaxia, and it had extremely mysterious origins!
Most experts would not be able to find it even if they wanted to, much less break into and out of the prison!
Jiang Jianfeng’s shocked gaze fell on Ye Chen.
He could sense how weak the latter was currently. Could it be that this kid had truly done all this?
His heart almost jumped out of his chest at the thought of this.
A few seconds later, he shook his head. Ye Chen’s age was right in front of him. Even if he was talented, it was impossible for him to control this kind of power with his current cultivation level and strength. It seemed that he would have to investigate Capital City University properly.
Something extremely serious must have happened before he came!
Otherwise, it would be impossible to trigger an earthquake in the capital.
Jiang Rong ignored Jiang Jianfeng and helped Ye Chen away.
After Jiang Rong and Ye Chen left, Jiang Jianfeng sighed and took out his phone to make a call.
“I’m currently at Capital City University. The entrance to the Ghost Prison has been opened, and I’m not sure what happened inside. Inform the higher-ups and have them take action.
If the captives inside were not dead, and managed to escape, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
Back at his unit, Jiang Rong helped Ye Chen over to the sofa in the living room to rest.
“Little Chen, how do you feel? Do you need me to bring you to the hospital?” Ye Chen smiled and shook his head.
“Mom, your son has learned some things over the years. In terms of medical skills, I’m considered unmatched in Huaxia.”
Jiang Rong rolled her eyes at Ye Chen.
“Why are you spouting nonsense right now? Unmatched? No matter what, you’re still my son. If you still look this pale tomorrow morning, I’ll have to take you to the hospital.”
In Jiang Rong’s eyes, Ye Chen must have focused on the path of martial arts. His current achievements were definitely the result of tireless hard work.
Since he had cultivated martial arts, how could he possibly have had the time to learn medical skills?
Ye Chen did not correct her. Instead, he quickly asked, “By the way, you and Dad came out together just now. Where did he go after that?”
Jiang Rong’s expression changed. She was about to make up an excuse when someone knocked on the door.
“Little Chen, stay seated. I’ll get the door,” Jiang Rong quickly said. When she opened the door, there was a very beautiful girl standing outside. “You are… Looking for Little Chen?” Jiang Rong asked, slightly taken aback. Wei Ying was momentarily stunned, but soon realized that the woman in front of her resembled Ye Chen. Her voice trembled as she said, “Aunty, I’m Ye Chen’s colleague. I live next door. I heard some commotion here just now, so I came over to take a look.”
Jiang Rong glanced at Wei Ying. As someone who had been through this before, how could she not see the feelings Wei Ying was wearing on her sleeve?
“Little Chen is resting inside. Come in.”
Wei Ying waved her hands.
“Aunty, I won’t disturb you both at this hour. I stay next door. Auntie, if you and Ye Chen need any help, you can come to me.”
“Okay, thank you.” Jiang Rong smiled.
“Aunty, the water in my room is still boiling, so I’ll head back first. It’s good to hear that Ye Chen is fine.”
With that, Wei Ying fled.
A myriad of thoughts flashed through her mind. If she had known, she would have put on makeup. She hoped that she did not leave a bad impression on Ye Chen’s mother.
Jiang Rong then closed the door and went back to the living room. She said to Ye Chen, “Little Chen, there’s a pretty girl outside looking for you. She says she’s your neighbor.”
Ye Chen took a sip of water and smiled bitterly.
“Mom, she’s just my friend. Don’t make wild guesses. By the way, where is Dad?”
Jiang Rong’s eyes flashed with a trace of panic. She thought for a few seconds and said, “When we left the Ghost Prison just now, there was a thick fog, and the two of us were separated. I vaguely heard your father say that he was going back to River City to get something and that he would come back to the capital to reunite with us later. Don’t worry, just focus on healing your injuries.” “I feel a little tired and need some rest, so I won’t disturb your recovery.” After saying that, Jiang Rong did not give Ye Chen any time to react and headed toward a room.
Even though Ye Chen was filled with doubts, the most important thing now was to quickly adjust his body’s condition and then break through. He could sense that he might even be able to break through to the unity realm this time!
When Jiang Rong returned to her room, she grabbed the mobile phone on the table.
When she reached the room, the relief on her face disappeared completely, which was replaced by an extremely solemn expression.
The reason why she hid it from Ye Chen for the time being was because she knew Ye Chen well.
If Ye Chen found out that his father had been taken away by Lin Juelong, he would definitely ignore his injuries and seek out the Lin family.
Jiang Rong grew up in the capital, so she knew the situation in the martial arts world and the capital better than her son. The Lin family was not simple, and was even related to the Kunlun Mountains.
There was also that red tattoo on Lin Juelong’s chest, which should tie him to a certain force from that place.
As a mother, she did not want her child to take any more risks.
