Chapter 616: White Lie

Chapter 616: White Lie

According to the government, the Warrior’s Department was established because of the sudden rise in martial arts trend and public interest. In a way, it was a martial artist association instead of an actual department. However, signs showed that the Warrior’s Department had great authority!

It could no longer be taken as just a martial artist association.

Moreover, the sudden rise in interest for martial arts was abnormal as well. They were in a technological age, yet in this age where martial arts were being phased out, it suddenly regained a new drive and formed the authoritative Warrior’s Department.

It was understandable for China to have interest in martial arts, but when the other countries suddenly had a rising interest in martial arts as well, it became very intriguing. Since when did foreigners develop an interest in Kungfu?

The Earth’s Gate from Sun Nation and that Southeast Asian at Las Vegas were polished in their arts. Ye Lingchen did not think much about this incident previously, but now that he thought about it, a lot of things felt suspicious.

Take the current incident for example. After Ye Lingchen and Hyun-Min Kim were arrested, the Warrior’s Department intervened directly without reporting to any higher-ups and took the matter into their hands. They even went to the extent of announcing a ban for the Stick Nation!

The entire China, and even the rest of the world, were diving into martial arts. What was the reason behind it?

The Warrior’s Department, Earth’s Gate, and other organizations were rather mysterious. They hardly make any public appearances. The public only recognizes them as a martial artist association tasked with settling special matters. Just what matters would be considered special?

Ye Lingchen then thought of the giant python, Old Tortoise, and that weird mutated Elder Hiroshi. They were characters that would only appear in movies, yet the Warrior’s Department dealt with them calmly. Now that he thought about it, they seemed to be numbed to such sights.

‘Damn it, did I transcend to another dimension when I received the system? Did I travel to a universe like Marvel?’

Ye Lingchen was wracked with doubts.

Following that, he shook his head and dismissed those weird thoughts. He probably did not transcended, but instead, this world had undergone some sort of unknown change.

He was already an Upper-Class Guardian, yet he was not privy to the truth. It seems that he needed a chance to coax it out of Qin Baichuan.

He then buried those thoughts within himself. He was, after all, a living cheat. What he needed to do at the moment was to raise his abilities so that when the time comes, he could deal with any surprises.

The next day, Ye Lingchen got up early as usual. After some simple morning exercise, he started his Eight Extremities Brute Training and Cultivation breathing technique. His physique was already far beyond that of an average person and had the perks of special constitution added to it. However, the Eight Extremities Brute Training’s advanced movesets were still extremely difficult, causing great strain on his body.

Just like the previous day, he could only keep it up for less than half an hour before taking a break. He would then use Cultivation to nourish his body.

That was just the 33rd pose out of 81. From that, one could tell how difficult it was. At the later stages, the progress was much slower. If without the system, most people would have difficulty mastering the most fundamental of Eight Extremities Fist, much less the 33 poses he went through.

The path of martial arts was too taxing.

Only now did Ye Lingchen experience it firsthand.

The next two days, Ye Lingchen paid no attention to the happenings of the outside world. Apart from training, he would stay at home to accompany his parents.

On the fourth day, Ye Jin and Xu Zhen had to go back to work. As a doctor, it was already very fortunate for Ye Jin to have three days off. Xu Zhen, on the other hand, had rested sufficiently and returned to work.

“Mom, is the jade I bought for you still around?” Ye Lingchen asked out of the blue.

“It’s here.” Xu Zhen nodded, then took the jade out of the closet. The packaging was untouched, left in the same state it was first purchased. “Next time you can’t buy something so expensive anymore. What a waste of money.”

“Mom, I bought it for you to wear,” Ye Lingchen stated as he kept the jade. He then asked, “Mom, does your store have any more treasured collections? You can show me around.”

“What are you planning?” Xu Zhen looked suspiciously at him. “Son, listen to me. Don’t waste your money even if you’re rich!”

“Mom, this time it’s really for official matters. I’ll have you know that this piece of jade is a spiritual jade!” Ye Lingchen whispered convincingly.

“Spiritual jade?” Xu Zhen was confused.

“Spiritual jade!” Ye Lingchen emphasized once more. “I’ve experienced much in Capital City. They have jades like this over there as well, with prices in the millions. I’m here to find those that people missed out!”

“In the millions? Is that for real?” Xu Zhen exclaimed.

“It’s true! If you keep this jade by your side all the time, it’ll benefit your body. It can extend your life and even maintain your youthful appearance.”

“Maintain a youthful appearance?” Xu Zhen’s eyes brightened. Any woman would cave to such temptations.

“Yup! That’s why I’m asking if your shop has any of these treasured collections remaining. I’ll go have another look. These are good stuff!”

“After you bought it, we did have another treasured collection come in. However, the price is even higher than the previous one.” Xu Zhen was skeptical, but in the end still chose to believe her son.

The mother and son duo arrived at the jade shop Xu Zhen worked at together.

Finally, Ye Lingchen generously purchased the new treasured collection for 400 thousand.

That immediately attracted the attention of all those in the shop. Even the boss made an appearance.

First of all, Ye Lingchen was a famous person—a VIP in the eyes of the boss. Next, Ye Lingchen’s spending was generous, having spent over hundreds of thousands in the shop.

All the employees were looking at Xu Zhen enviously. ‘Look at her son. How is he so outstanding? Most importantly, he’s filial and willing to spend on his parents!’

The boss no longer dared to treat Xu Zhen as a regular employee. That was the mother of a VIP, her value would naturally rise along with the son. He would gladly curry favor for her.

Ye Lingchen returned home with two pieces of jade in hand.

What he told Xu Zhen earlier were just lies, but it was a white lie.

The jade’s quality was good and considered to be on the high side in the middle-grade range. However, it was impossible to have those effects that Ye Lingchen said earlier. However, combined with Ye Lingchen’s refining skill, things would be different.

Since he had the ability, he would naturally take better care for his parents. He would not interfere with their lives and have them live with him. However, he would try his best to assist them and give them better lives!

Both the jade were on the bigger side, making it inconvenient to carry around. Ye Lingchen prepared to split them into four and pass it to his parents and grandparents. It was convenient, delicate, and aesthetically pleasing!

He rubbed the jades together—they were smooth and gentle. He already had a rough plan in his mind.

After some thoughts, he then walked into the kitchen and was planning to carry out the refining process in the kitchen…
