Chapter 487.1 - Old Man’s Gone (Part One)
Xu Cheng: “What is it?”
The old man: “Not being able to fight you. I’m not bragging, but if I was at my peak, I wouldn’t even care who the fack your teacher Zhang Chenfeng is. Back then when I was able to get out of the Ye Clan by myself and establish a big name for myself, it wasn’t because of my background, but my fists! Besides the old patriarch, there was really no one that could beat me!”
Xu Cheng bitterly smiled.
“You want to fight me, I can help you get up. But I’m afraid that you won’t have the strength to hold on.”
Xu Cheng was really scared that just one blow of wind could take him away. He was worried that the old man would still die even with the serum he brought. By the looks of it, he really had one breath left, but it would take a lot of endurance for the antibodies to develop in his body.
The old man waved his hand. “If the Hell King wants you dead by midnight, he won’t let you see the next morning’s sunshine. It’s okay, it was all worth it to be able to meet a junior that I admire before I die. Don’t worry, when I get down there, I will press those behemoth families’ guys even further down in hell, I won’t give them the chance to reincarnate to come and find you.”
The others were all turned a bit speechless by the fact that the old man could still joke at a time like this.
Elder Xing wiped his tears and said, “Alright, man, I think you should save the rest of the time to tell your family how to handle the affairs afterward.”
“What’s there to tell, if they still need me to teach them, then they aren’t the Ye Family anymore,” the old man scolded. Every time he spoke, he would breathe heavily for a while.
At this time, the three doctors came over and said quietly, “Old Man, no kidding, I think you should hurry up if you still have any last words.”
The old man turned to look at Xu Cheng and said, “If you go out and actually accomplish something great on the world stage, remember to write your legend into a book and burn it to send it to me. I don’t want the official editions with tons of exaggeration, I want an authentic version.”
Minister Ye didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. He knew his dad too well, he was just like a child and rarely acted seriously. Back then during the war between Huaxia and the Wei Nation, he was a mad hero that wouldn’t even flinch in the face of death and would still nonchalantly try to kill a few more enemies in war.
At this time, Xu Cheng asked Elder Ye, “Old Man, if there’s a Wei Nation soldier that popped up in front of you, would you still have the strength to get up and take him down?”
“That’s for sure.” The old man weakly said, “I might not have much strength but I can still pull a grenade and die together with him. Brat, if you have something to say, say it directly.”
Xu Cheng looked at the others, and then he lowered his head by the old man’s ears and whispered something.
Suddenly, Elder Ye’s eyes lit up.
“I’m not 100% confident whether it will succeed or not, it will depend on your willpower! If you feel that you will lose face and suffer pain when the success isn’t even guaranteed, then you can also just give it up and leave.”
“Don’t provoke me, right now I’m feeling even more energetic and ready to fight than seeing a Wei Nation soldier!” The old man moved his neck and looked at his son Minister Ye and said, “Ye Pei, come over.”
Minister Ye immediately leaned over and said softly to the old man, “Dad, what is it?”
Elder Ye said to his son, “Shoo these guys all out of here. Tell them, I’m not dead yet, no need to come and grieve for me. I think I can still hold on for one more day, and if I can’t get past tomorrow, they can come again.”
