Chapter 511: You’re Not Qualified!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On a rocky slope on Crimson Afterglow Peak, two figures stepped on the rocks.
Standing against the wind, Ye Chen frowned as he looked at Dai Tinglou, who was standing before him with his hands behind his back. “What do you want to talk to me about, Mr. Dai?”
He had naturally heard of Dai Tinglou, the No. 1 person in Shanghai. However, he did not take it to heart. After all, Ye Chen had killed too many people. A mere Dai Tinglou was nothing.
Therefore, after Dai Tinglou took the initiative to talk to him privately, he agreed without thinking. On the other hand, Dai Shiyu was extremely nervous and thought that Dai Tinglou wanted to attack Ye Chen.
“If you look from here, what can you see?” Dai Tinglou did not answer his question. Instead, he pointed down the mountain.
Ye Chen looked over when he heard that. There were rocks and dense forest before his eyes. He said after some thought, “Strange rocks and towering trees. This must have been an ancient battlefield in ancient times!”
“No!”
However, Dai Tinglou shook his head slightly and said, “It should be a myriad of living beings. Regardless of whether it’s the strange rocks or the dense forest, they represent the vastness of the world. And if one of the rocks is placed inside, it would seem very small.”
“Like a human.”
“This is only the tip of the iceberg of this world!”
As he said that, he suddenly turned around and looked at Ye Chen in a dignified manner. “You, on the other hand, are like a weird rock among the rocks. You might look conspicuous from here, but what are you in this world?”
Ye Chen said neither humbly nor arrogantly, “What do you mean, Mr. Dai?”
This was only the second time he had met Dai Tinglou. When they had first met, they had only exchanged a quick glance. They had not communicated at all, and there was no friendship between them. He could not understand why this person would say such things to him.
“My meaning is clear!”
Dai Tinglou smiled faintly. “Don’t have any designs on my daughter!”
Ye Chen was speechless upon hearing that.
He did not expect the other party to come all the way here just for this matter. He had already informed Old Wu of his thoughts towards Dai Shiyu, but the other party still did not believe him.
Without waiting for him to speak, Dai Tinglou continued, “I know that you’re from the cultivation world, and you’re even a Martial Dao grandmaster. In fact, to be able to become a Martial Dao grandmaster at your age, it wouldn’t be too much to describe you as having extraordinary talent.”
“However, if you think that your achievements are extraordinary, you are gravely mistaken!”
He turned around and stood with his back facing Ye Chen. He said while standing with his hands behind his back, “I’m over eighty years old this year. I became a Martial Dao grandmaster at twenty-eight. I became famous in China and abroad at thirty. When I became fifty years old, there were less than five people in China who could defeat me.”
“In the past few days, I’ve seen people who are more outstanding than you. For example, Unparalleled Sword, who was only eighteen years old when I met him and he was ranked 11th on the Heaven Leaderboard!”
“For example, Mad Southern Ye who defeated everyone in China at the age of 30 and was respected as the No. 1 in China. He’s one of the main characters in today’s world-shaking battle!”
As he said that, he turned around and looked at Ye Chen coldly. He enunciated every word clearly, “Which of these people is not better than you?”
“So, you’re saying that your daughter, Dai Shiyu, is only compatible with people like Mad Southern Ye and Unparalleled Sword?” Ye Chen smirked.
“Of course!”
Dai Tinglou nodded naturally. “Since I only have one daughter, I have to ensure her happiness for the rest of her life. The person she marries is either a current tycoon or someone not weaker than me.”
“If that’s the case, why did you choose to marry her into the Kim family of Korea? Don’t tell me that Kim Wenjie is also considered a hero?” Ye Chen suddenly laughed.
“Kim Wenjie is a different case.”
Dai Tinglou shook his head slightly. “In reality, I chose to marry her into the Kim family because I feel that the Kim family is the leader of the four great clans in Korea. In addition to that, the Kim family’s patriarch, Kim Tiansheng, was considered one of the most powerful experts in Korea. With such a family background, even if Shiyu feels aggrieved to marry Kim Wenjie, it’s still acceptable.”
“Who would’ve thought that the Kim family was destroyed by Mad Southern Ye, and that Mad Southern Ye even killed Kim Tiansheng?!” As he said that, his face was filled with shock and respect. “This proves why I value Mad Southern Ye even more!”
“Mad Southern Ye has dual-cultivation in both magic and martial arts. He has achieved something that even the entire cultivation world in China can’t achieve. He can be said to be a rare genius in China. I even suspect that he’s the person who has the highest chance of being a martial venerable and attaining Origin Energy!”
He sighed softly after saying that. He then looked at Ye Chen. “I’ve said all that I have to say. If you agree to never see Shiyu again, I can give you some pointers on martial arts.”
Before Ye Chen could say anything, he said again, “Don’t reject me now. You might not know this, but my understanding of martial arts is unparalleled even in the whole of China!”
Dai Tinglou looked proud after saying that. He stared at Ye Chen as if he had seen through him.
To him, anyone would be tempted by his tempting offer, let alone a young man like Ye Chen.
However, Ye Chen shook his head.
“Young man, don’t think too highly of yourself!”
Dai Tinglou couldn’t help but be extremely furious. He’d already spoken so much, yet this young man before him actually didn’t know when to step back.
Did he really have to force him to attack?
“Mr. Dai, I think you’re thinking too much!”
Ye Chen could not help but laugh. He said calmly, “I told you that I have no feelings for Dai Shiyu. I’m not here for her. The reason why we met again today is just a coincidence.”
“Don’t worry. After this battle, I will return to China and never meet Dai Shiyu again!”
After saying that, Ye Chen turned around and walked towards the crowd. The entire process was straightforward.
Only then did Dai Tinglou nod his head in satisfaction. He shouted through the air, “Don’t worry. I’ll do what I say. If you have any questions about cultivation in the future, you can ask me.”
“No need!”
“You want to guide me?”
“You… are not qualified!”
Ye Chen uttered those words slowly with an extremely indifferent voice.
Dai Tinglou’s expression sank as he grunted coldly. “What a proud young man! He actually said that I’m not worthy of guiding him. I want to see how far you can grow!”
…
As soon as Ye Chen returned to his original spot, Dai Shiyu went up to him immediately. She looked at him from head to toe. “Mr. Ye, are you alright? Did my father do anything to you?”
During the ten minutes that Ye Chen and Dai Tinglou were talking, she was very worried. After all, she knew her father’s temper. He was famous for being amenable to coaxing but not coercion. She was afraid that Ye Chen would fight with her father.
“I’m fine!”
Ye Chen shook his head lightly.
“That’s good. If anything happens, I won’t let my father go.” Dai Shiyu sighed in relief.
“How do you plan to not let me go?”
At that moment, Dai Tinglou walked over with a dark face.
“I … I’ll run away from home!”
Dai Shiyu snorted.
Dai Tinglou’s expression darkened. Just as he was about to flare up, he heard a commotion from the crowd behind him.
