Chapter 43 - 41 The Thoughts of a Young Girl
After the arrival of Master Li Yun, one of Ye Chen’s identities was revealed as a disciple of a Second Star Alchemist.
This identity change caused everyone’s attitude toward Ye Chen to shift dramatically; no longer would they dare to look down on or scorn him, instead, they became respectful and didn’t dare to offend him.
Naturally, those who were happiest were Ye Chen’s parents as well as Huan’er and Ye Zimei, those who truly cared about him.
Although still shocked at Ye Chen’s status as a disciple of a Second Star Alchemist, they were mostly joyous and did not press for the mysterious identity of Mr. Qian.
Every alchemist is proud, especially a Second Star Alchemist, who would not tolerate others casually learning of their identity, lest it led to unpleasantries between them.
It was precisely because of this identity that Ye Chen had regained the dignity of his status as the noble young master of the family, and now, wherever he went within the clan, wherever there were people, they would almost immediately greet him with radiant faces full of respect, even appearing more reverent than when facing the elders.
However, he did not show arrogance or condescend; he merely handled it all calmly. To him, this status was mostly just a convenience, at least protecting him from being bullied or troubled by others.
Even Ye Zhengyang, the newly emerged Innate Expert of the Ye Family, hadn’t come to trouble Ye Chen in recent days. Being warned by the Great Elder was one thing, fearing Ye Chen’s status as a disciple of a Second Star Alchemist was another, but perhaps even more importantly, Ye Chen’s own strength was a significant deterrent.
Ye Zhengyang was appalled by how Ye Chen matched him in a direct contest previously and harbored a deep wariness of him, adding to the other reasons why he no longer dared to cause trouble.
Ye Chen, naturally, was pleased to see this. In truth, he never took Ye Zhengyang seriously. To someone who had witnessed the vast expanse of the Great World, a minor place like Luofeng City scarcely deserved his attention.
"Little Chenzi, what do you plan to do?" Elder Yan’s figure floated out and asked, "After all, Luofeng City is only a small city, and you cannot stay here for long. If you want to become truly strong, you will have to leave."
