Chapter 2009: Guess Who’s Here? Chapter 2009: Guess Who’s Here? Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation At this moment, the waiter from the heaven area smiled politely at Ye Chen. “Young Master, the dishes are ready. Please enter the private room to eat.” Ye Chen smiled and nodded. The person who ran the heaven area must have a strong background. This waitress was very professional. The commotion just now did not affect her service attitude at all. How could a person who could train such a waiter be simple? Ye Chen glanced at Xie Pingping and left with his hands behind his back. Xie Pingping finally recovered from her shock and looked at Ye Chen excitedly. She did not know what to say, but hurriedly followed him in. … An hour later. After the two of them finished their meal, they had just walked out of the private room when they saw someone standing outside the counter in the heaven area with his back facing the private room. Ye Chen’s eyes flashed and he recognized the owner of the back he was looking at. This person was Chen Jiu! Chen Jiu sensed their arrival. He turned around and glared at Ye Chen sternly. He snorted coldly. “Kid, you’ve only just entered school and you’re already causing trouble for me?” Ye Chen smiled bitterly. What was supposed to come had indeed come. He was about to explain, but Xie Pingping said rather urgently, “Teacher! You’ve misunderstood. This is not Ye Chen’s fault. It’s all because of me!” “He provoked Zhao Liang because he wanted to help me. Moreover, from the beginning to the end, it was Zhao Liang and the others who were rude to Ye Chen. It was also Zhao Liang who attacked Ye Chen without permission…” Chen Jiu waved his hand and interrupted her, “Alright, little girl. You don’t have to say anymore. I know what happened.” “This matter is also our Law Enforcement Department’s fault. We didn’t discipline our students properly. Hmph, that brat Zhao Liang actually pestered a freshman. However, Zhao Liang has learned his lesson. This matter is his own fault.” “Ye Chen, come with me.” Xie Pingping looked at Ye Chen worriedly. Ye Chen patted her shoulder, signaling her not to be nervous. He then followed Chen Jiu out of the cafeteria. The two of them walked out of the cafeteria. Ye Chen asked Chen Jiu curiously, “Instructor Chen, where are we going?” From what Chen Jiu said just now, he would not pursue Zhao Liang’s matter anymore. Why did he call him out then? Chen Jiu said, “Brat, you heavily injured Zhao Liang with a single strike. You’ve become famous in the academy. If I’m not wrong, when you went missing during this period of time, you had a fortuitous encounter?” Chen Jiu had once tested Ye Chen during the Rising Dragon Competition. He knew that although Ye Chen should have had the ability to defeat Zhao Liang at that time, he would not have been able to defeat Zhao Liang so easily like he had done now. At that time, Ye Chen would probably have to go through a great battle before he could barely win. However, it had only been a short time since they last met and Ye Chen’s strength had improved by leaps and bounds. Although Chen Jiu did not show any expression on the surface, he was extremely shocked inwardly. Ye Chen did not deny it. He nodded and said, “When I went to deal with that matter, something unexpected happened. In the midst of life and death crises, my strength improved again.” “Yes.” Chen Jiu nodded. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, “Kid, what bloodline do you have?” When Ye Chen heard this, he stopped in his tracks and looked at Chen Jiu in surprise. “Are you wondering why I asked that?” Chen Jiu laughed. “Hehe, you don’t really think that I’m only a peak-level Star Aperture realm expert, do you?” “You must know that most of the teachers in the academy have at least reached the Sealed Gate realm.” As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jiu’s aura suddenly rose. Ye Chen’s eyes widened! It turned out that Chen Jiu had been hiding his aura all along. He was a true blue Sealed Gate realm expert! Chen Jiu retracted his aura and smiled. The waters of the Divine Fire Academy run very deep. You can’t measure the students or teachers by their cultivation level. You are the best example.” “You must remember that there are still some people in the academy who deliberately conceal their aura. This kind of person cannot be underestimated.” “I don’t want you to get into trouble because of this.” “Oh right, there’s something I want to ask you. Did you go to the Universe Death Domain?” Ye Chen’s expression turned grave when he heard the name of the Universe Death Domain. The Divine Fire Academy had always been in contact with the Divine Kingdom. Could it be that the Divine Kingdom had investigated this place? If that was the case, he might have to leave immediately. “What?” Chen Jiu noticed something and said solemnly, “Something big has happened in the Universe Death Domain of the Lingwu Continent, and someone from the Divine Kingdom is furious.” “Some forces are investigating. The biggest suspect is a young man.” “Fortunately, the other party did not have the portrait.” “You’ve been standing me up these past few days, so I thought of this. Now it seems that this matter really has something to do with you.” “But you don’t have to be nervous. Since I brought you here, I won’t allow the people of the Divine Kingdom to take you away.” “Moreover, it’s not that easy for the people of the Divine Kingdom to send people here. The rules there are truly terrifying.” Ye Chen thought of something and asked, “The people from the Divine Kingdom can’t come personally?” Chen Jiu clearly did not want to talk about this topic with Ye Chen. He interrupted him. “Don’t talk about the Divine Kingdom anymore. Remember not to mention it.” “There are two taboos in the Divine Fire Academy.” “One is the Divine Kingdom I just mentioned to you. The other is the legend of a tablet in the Divine Fire Academy.” Ye Chen’s eyes lit up when he heard the last sentence. He was certain that Chen Jiu was referring to the Flame Tablet! Chen Jiu could tell that something was wrong with Ye Chen and did not intend to continue the conversation. He said directly, “Let’s not talk anymore. You should tidy up. Our academy’s principal wants to see you.” Principal? This time, Ye Chen was a little surprised. The Divine Fire Academy was such a powerful force, and the position of the principal managing the academy was unimaginably powerful and influential. Even the sect leaders of the top forces in the Lingwu Continent would have to treat this principal with respect, right? Such a person actually wanted to see him? However, Ye Chen did not show too much surprise. He followed Chen Jiu into the depths of the academy. Not long after, the two of them arrived at a tall tower. When they reached the tower, Chen Jiu said to Ye Chen, “Ye Chen, the principal is waiting for you at the top of the tower. You can go up on your own.” “Alright. Thank you for your guidance, Instructor.” Ye Chen nodded. After Chen Jiu left, Ye Chen walked up the tower. Although the tower was tall, with Ye Chen’s speed, he reached the top floor in an instant. At this moment, the door to the room on the top floor was wide open. In the slightly ancient room on the top floor, an old man with long white hair was playing Go. He was wearing a white robe from the academy, and there were several pouches hanging on his belt. There was also an old man sitting opposite him. The old man held the black piece in his hand and was about to place it. However, when Ye Chen saw the old man, his eyes widened! Was this old man not Elder Yong?
