Chapter 683 - 585: Madam Chen (First Update)
Seeing the old butler kneeling in front of him, Yang Tian frowned.
"Tian, this is my personal servant who has been with me for over forty years," Liang Lijun chuckled, "She's the one who knows the Chen Family's situation best, so she's truly delighted to see that you've returned!"
"Young master! I've long heard of your news. Just a year ago, it was said something happened to you. During this time, the master went to the United States to recuperate and specifically instructed us to keep an eye out for your news. I never imagined that not only are you alive, but you've also come back!"
The old maid began to get excited as she spoke.
Yang Tian maintained a calm expression.
For the Chen Family, his return was indeed something to be celebrated.
But for Yang Tian, there was no joy to be found.
He returned to this place just to take a look at the Chen Family, but now he was disinterested and only wanted to leave with Wu Yue and Ling Ying.
As he was about to leave, the old maid blocked Yang Tian's path: "Young master, now that you're back, please don't leave again. Stay, and we'll notify the master to return and take charge of the situation! On the surface, the Chen Family appears to be flourishing with immense wealth, but in reality, trouble's already brewing. Not only you and your father but even the eldest young master, second young master, and third young master have encountered mishaps. But if you stay, the Chen Family's business empire will not collapse! The legacy of the Chen Family will not be cut short!"
Yang Tian's face turned solemn.
"Tian, while you may resent the Chen Family, your resentment is less than Peigen's. We were unaware of what happened to your mother back then, so we couldn't save her when you were born. But the dead cannot be resurrected, and we should look forward."
Liang Lijun sincerely said to Yang Tian.
"Yes! Yang Tian, you've grown up. Your mother has been gone for over twenty years, and your father is no longer here. You need to think about your own future!"
Wu Yue also advised.
"Let's talk about it some other day."
Yang Tian waved his hand, unwilling to discuss it further.
When he saw Wu Yue and Ling Ying leaning against Liang Lijun, seemingly not wanting to leave, he shook his head speechlessly and extended his divine sense towards the Chen Family.
This was his first time returning to the Chen Family, and perhaps it would be the last.
Therefore, he wanted to arrange some Spirit Talismans around the Chen Family.
"Yang Tian, I've already set up a Demon Array in the Chen Family!"
At that moment, a voice came from the main hall, transmitted through divine sense, so only Yang Tian could hear it.
"Chen Tian?"
Yang Tian asked.
He extended his divine sense towards the main hall and saw that the spiritual tablet inscribed with Chen Tian's name was already smeared with blood-red color, while a statue humbly positioned on the Divine Platform depicted Chen Tian.
A wisp of Chen Tian's soul had ventured here from the Demon Realm.
This wisp of soul was encapsulated in the statue.
"Yang Tian, now that you've returned to the Chen Family, it's time to return to the Chen Family!" Chen Tian's voice continued, "The Chen Family is in trouble; Corpse Demons have already arrived. They haven't acted yet, but I fear the demonic bloodline within our Chen Family isn't so simple! You've also seen Peigen's situation. He uses the demonic bloodline to unleash his potential and may even become a Mad Demon. We need to study the demonic bloodline extensively!"
"This task is now handed over to you! But presently, the Chen Clan Leader is resting and recuperating in the United States, and I've foreseen that your grandfather, Chen Ming, won't have long to live, and after his death, he will enter the Demon Realm and become part of the Demon Race!"
"So, I truly hope you will take charge of the Chen Family's affairs!"
Hearing this, Yang Tian nodded, "Don't worry; the matter of the demonic bloodline will be my top priority!"
"That's good to hear!"
Chen Tian wanted to say more, but in the end, he sighed, his voice withdrew, and the soul clung to the statue, continuing to guard the Chen Family.
At this moment, Wu Yue approached, taking Yang Tian's arm, "Yang Tian, Grandma asked us to stay here. Do you mind?"
Yang Tian was about to refuse when Ling Ying also came up, "Big Brother Yang, let's stay here for a few days, for Grandma's sake!"
Yang Tian furrowed his brows.
In just half a day, had Wu Yue and Ling Ying already turned and started calling her "Grandma"?
"Old maid, get ready, the young master will stay here for a few days!"
Liang Lijun took advantage of the situation, hurriedly instructing.
"Yes!"
The old maid bowed deeply to Yang Tian and then busied herself.
If Yang Tian insisted on leaving now, it would seem heartless, so he glared at Wu Yue and said, "We'll stay for one night and leave first thing in the morning!"
"One night is good enough!"
Wu Yue chuckled.
She exchanged a glance with Ling Ying and walked towards Liang Lijun, "Grandma, let us help you inside."
"Good, you are my lovely daughters-in-law!"
Liang Lijun gave a loving smile.
Watching Liang Lijun and Wu Yue, and Ling Ying walk into the hall, Yang Tian shook his head. If Wu Yue, this beautiful CEO, kept sticking with Liang Lijun, it wouldn't take long for her to become Chen Family's successor.
This Wu Yue, like the other three major East Sea beauty CEOs, was full of ambition.
While Yang Tian furrowed his brows, Chen Tian's voice again transmitted through the divine sense, "Yang Tian, are you free now? Come to the spirit hall, and I'll brief you on the Chen Family's situation!"
"Okay."
Yang Tian also wanted to find a place to cultivate.
So he went to the spirit hall, meditating and listening to Chen Tian detail the Chen Family's business status and economic situation.
Time passed quickly.
Around evening, Chen Shangzheng came back, and he rushed into the spirit hall, excited, "Tian, are you finally willing to return to the Chen Family?"
"Don't be so rash; can't you see I'm discussing with Yang Tian!"
Chen Tian's voice resonated.
Chen Shangzheng hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Grandfather, please don't blame me. I was just too excited. I never thought Yang Tian would come back to the Chen Family! I'll leave now for you to continue."
"No need, I've said all I need to. Yang Tian, spend more time with your grandmother; even though she isn't biologically related to you, everything is for the family's interest!"
After saying that, Chen Tian's soul nestled back into the statue, continuing to guard the Chen Family.
Yang Tian withdrew.
"Third Young Master, a lavish dinner is ready, and I've specifically come to invite you and the young master to dine with Madam!"
As soon as he stepped out of the spirit hall, the old maid was waiting there.
"Yang Tian, let's go, accompany your grandmother!"
Chen Shangzheng laughed, walking ahead with Yang Tian.
At that moment, however, Yang Tian suddenly felt a killing intent. He extended his divine sense to probe, and then a cold smile appeared in his heart…
