Chapter 208: Difficult Situation
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhu Rende thought for a moment and said, “Mr. Ye, one of the Zhu family’s ancestors was indeed a genius swordsmith. I’ve actually heard of the material for the sword you mentioned. However, it’s considered the Zhu family’s treasure. It’s unlikely that it will be given to outsiders.”
“Also, the material is in the possession of the current family head. Given his fiery temper, it’s impossible to take something from him!”
“However, since Mr. Ye needs it so much, I will try my best to investigate this matter and ask if it’s possible. However, if 1 don’t succeed, I hope Mr. Ye won’t mind.”
Zhu Rende did not expect that Ye Chen would dare to even covet the Zhu family’s treasure. The material used to forge the Dragonslayer Sword was extraordinary.
Otherwise, the Zhu family would not have gone to such lengths to safeguard it for hundreds of years. In essence, Ye Chen was asking for something that could not be done.
Ye Chen could tell that Zhu Rende was in a difficult position and said, “Elder Zhu, if I use pills or other valuable items to exchange for it, will the family head agree? The major families are all existences that focus on benefits. As long as there are enough benefits, even the most stubborn heart can be moved.”
“This…” Zhu Rende hesitated.
What Ye Chen said was not without reason. If Ye Chen really wanted to get that material, it might not be completely impossible with this method.
Moreover, he knew that Ye Chen had a big secret. Perhaps he really had something that could tempt the family head.
“How about this, Mr. Ye, I’ll introduce you to him. However, there’s a family meeting going on currently, so it might not be successful. Moreover, my status in the Zhu family of Jiangnan Province is not high. If the family head doesn’t want to see you, there’s nothing we can do…”
Ye Chen nodded. “I won’t force the matter. Thank you, Elder Zhu.”
Ten minutes later, at the Zhu family’s residence in Jiangnan Province.
Traditional-styled buildings surrounded the villa complex, and at its center was a huge garden square.
The size of a family’s residence often correlated with how powerful they were, and the Zhu family was definitely a big deal.
Thanks to the ongoing family meeting, the villa was very lively.
Zhu Rende led Ye Chen on a long walk before they arrived at a large gate. He then instructed Ye Chen, “Mr. Ye, please wait a moment. I’ll go ask.”
With that, Zhu Rende walked over and said to the two experts standing outside the door, “Milords, 1 am Zhu Rende from the River City branch family. 1 have something to report to the family head.”
The two of them unleashed their auras and glanced at Zhu Rende. They said coldly, “What is it? Just tell us!”
Zhu Rende thought for a moment and said, “I want to introduce a young talent to the family head.”
The two men’s eyes immediately fell on Ye Chen, who was not far away. Although Ye Chen had an extraordinary temperament, he was too young.
Even if his ident.i.ty was extraordinary, it should be the elder behind this young man who should come to see the family head instead.
This was obviously a little belittling.
Therefore, the two of them immediately refused.
“Zhu Rende, why did you bring an outsider to the Zhu family’s residence during the family meeting?”
“Also, the family head has something more important to do. No one is allowed to disturb him! Get lost!”
Although the two of them were gatekeepers, they did not respect Zhu Rende at all. Their att.i.tudes were very unyielding.
Zhu Rende knew that this would be the result, so he thanked them briefly and returned to Ye Chen’s side.
“Mr. Ye, 1 probably won’t be able to see the family head today. Why don’t you head back first, Mr. Ye? When I manage to see the family head, I’ll report this matter to him.”
Ye Chen nodded. This was Zhu Rende’s family after all, so there was no need for him to cause trouble.
Just as Ye Chen was about to leave, the door opened and a young lady walked out.
The girl was about twenty years old, tall and lithe. Her bearing and actions were dignified and elegant.
Zhu Zixuan noticed Ye Chen’s gaze and whispered, “Mr. Ye, you should have heard of the three beauties of Jiangnan Province, right?”
Ye Chen nodded. He remembered that Xia Ruoxue was one of them.
He did not know who coined the term, but Xia Ruoxue was indeed worthy of the t.i.tle.
“Other than Miss Xia, who you know, there are two other people, and the lady who just came out is one of them,” Zhu Zixuan continued, “Her name is Zhu Ya. In terms of seniority, I should call her Aunt Ya. That being said, she should only be one or two years older than Mr. Ye.”
“Zhu Ya is very good at dealing with people and family matters, and is well-known in the circle of Jiangnan Province’s major families. Not only that, Zhu Ya has a very high status in the main family.”
“Oh.” Ye Chen did not show much emotion, but his eyes were looking up at the other party.
At this moment, Zhu Rende thought of something and interjected, “Mister Ye, why didn’t I think of this? If Zhu Ya is willing to meet you, then perhaps that matter of yours might really be considered. However, Zhu Ya’s temper is a little strange, and it’s very difficult for ordinary people to meet her.”
By the time he finished speaking, Zhu Ya had already walked over to the trio.
When she arrived in front of Ye Chen and Zhu Rende, she stopped in her tracks. Her beautiful eyes seemed to have discovered something interesting. She reached out her hand and smiled.
“Ye Chen?”
What the h.e.l.l!
At this moment, Zhu Rende and Zhu Zixuan were dumbfounded.
Who would have thought that the high and mighty Zhu Ya would know Mr. Ye, and even take the initiative to greet her?
Not far away, the two gatekeepers were also staring at Ye Chen in disbelief.
It was not just them. Even Ye Chen felt that something was wrong.
He did not recall ever seeing this person before. Even if he had some reputation in River City, this was Jiangnan Province.
Ye Chen did not reach out his hand. He stared at the young lady in front of him doubtfully.
Zhu Ya smiled and said, “I’ve heard a lot about you during this period of time. In fact, I’ve been hearing your name so much that my ears are about to fall off. Bai Libing really admires you, you know.”
“I was thinking of asking you out for a drink sometime, but I didn’t expect to meet you by coincidence today.”
Ye Chen finally understood.
It seemed like Bai Libing and Zhu Ya had an extraordinary relations.h.i.+p.
Although Bai Libing was in River City, her background was very special.
His father, Bai Lixiong, was a big shot in Jiangnan Province. Therefore, her and Zhu Ya being familiar with each other was quite normal..
