Chapter 1701: No Friendship Without Fighting
Chapter 1701: No Friendship Without Fighting
At this moment, Ye Xuan withdrew his hand because Chiba Kenichi had already passed out.Outside the arena, Chiba Sakurako, not waiting for Ye Lang to continue his chatter, hurriedly ran toward Ye Xuan while holding Little Yun Duo, then took out a handkerchief with a rich fragrance from her bosom and gently wiped Ye Xuan’s forehead.
Ye Lang had a look of disbelief on his face.
Seriously? Such blatant favoritism?
Black Emperor, you’ve got so many wives and concubines, yet you’re still not satisfied? Can’t you give a single guy like me a chance?
I want to get married, my body is urging me to get married!
After wiping the sweat, Chiba Sakurako smiled gently at Ye Xuan, "Brother Ye, you’ve worked hard."
"Not really, it’s Chiba Kenichi who worked hard." Ye Xuan laughed, "This kid’s perseverance is not bad, he reminds me a bit of myself back then."
"That’s good to hear." Chiba Sakurako smiled with relief, glancing at Chiba Kenichi who lay unconscious on the ground, but only gave him a brief look.
Though her feelings for Chiba Kenichi were deep, seeing him like this made her heartache, but she wouldn’t do anything more.
In the Chiba Family, the concept of gender is particularly strong. Even though they are siblings, Chiba Sakurako always maintains a distance from Chiba Kenichi, never showing the intimate demeanor common among siblings.
Ye Xuan was about to drag Chiba Kenichi to take a medicinal bath.
Yet before he could reach out, his sharp eyebrows raised slightly.
At the same time.
"Ye Xuan, you brat, you dare not meet me, Du Chong? Such arrogance deserves a lesson!"
A thunderous voice resounded, along with an extremely fierce gust of wind rushing from behind Ye Xuan.
Feeling the strong gust of wind from behind, Ye Xuan squinted his eyes, a brief flash of killing intent appeared.
But in an instant, the killing intent vanished completely.
Because he could sense that the comer had no killing aura!
With a helpless smile, aware of earlier lessons from Chi Lian, Ye Xuan dared not rashly use his qi, and could only turn around unhurriedly, to meet the swiftly approaching figure with a well-timed punch.
Punches collided!
Boom!
The sound of a heavy and crisp collision echoed, as if even the air had been fiercely shaken.
Ye Xuan stood in place, unmovable, like Mount Tai!
The other figure, however, at the moment of their clash, had a dramatic change in expression, the overwhelming retaliatory force causing him to lose balance and fly backward like a kite with a broken string.
This flight covered over ten meters.
If not stopped by the wall, he might have flown on for dozens more meters!
"Humph!"
The man slammed into and cracked the wall, letting out a muffled grunt, nearly spitting blood.
Skeptically, Ye Xuan noticed that his throat bobbed, indicating he almost upchucked.
If you’re going to spit blood, just do it. Why swallow it back? What a character!
Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched disdainfully as he finally took notice of the man’s appearance.
This person, clothed in martial arts high-end long gown, had disheveled long hair and a scruffy face, looking rough but not as messy as Baili Xiao from the Heroic Mountain, yet still quite similar.
If Ye Xuan judged correctly, this man should still be relatively young, under thirty, yet he ended up like this, which is rather unique.
Clap!
Ye Xuan leisurely lit a cigarette, looking at the man with interest, and asked with a smile, "May I ask, which sect are you from, dear brother?"
The man leaning against the wall finally caught his breath, forced his disordered energy down, then pompously said, "Zhanfeng Pavilion, Du Chong!"
"Zhanfeng Pavilion?" Ye Xuan froze.
He naturally had impressions of Zhanfeng Pavilion.
Because Chen Xuanba had told him that in the past, the Divine Doctor Sect and Zhanfeng Pavilion were as close as family, frequently sparring and growing stronger together.
After the Divine Doctor Sect was massacred, Zhanfeng Pavilion was furious and secretly attacked the Zhao Family multiple times, but without success.
In fact, because the Zhao Family became aware of this, the two sects started a covert war, with Zhanfeng Pavilion unable to compete and relocating their base from the prosperous south to the impoverished northwest to escape retaliation.
Though Zhanfeng Pavilion acted rashly, opposing the then-flourishing Zhao Family was unwise, but their loyalty was as heavy as a mountain.
Loyalty unmatched!
Ye Xuan moved swiftly, appearing beside Du Chong, and quickly cupped his hands in apology, "So it’s Brother Du, forgive my earlier offense."
Du Chong was startled, secretly amazed.
Such speed!
However, he didn’t show his surprise, even pretending to be nonchalant, "Humph, you little boy couldn’t hurt me! Although I was pushed back, I was holding back. If I used the Wind-cutting Saber, you wouldn’t be able to handle even one move!"
Ye Xuan was speechless, brother, your bragging is... really awkward!
"Sure, sure."
But Ye Xuan chose to forgive him, laughing and nodding repeatedly, "Brother Du is right, you probably only used ten percent of your power? While I nearly exerted all mine, it truly wasn’t fair."
"As long as you know!" Du Chong arrogantly flicked his sleeve, relieved in his heart.
He was truly worried that if Ye Xuan, a potential nitpicker, exposed his vanity, it would be disastrous!
Being a master, Du Chong certainly knew, the one using full power just now, was actually himself!
Ye Xuan glanced at Du Chong, smiling as he said, "Just now, Brother Du mentioned I wasn’t meeting with you, what do you mean? You didn’t seem to set an appointment with me?"
Du Chong was just about to speak.
"Ye Xuan, you’re too much!"
At this moment, Leng Qiufeng’s shouted angrily from the courtyard entrance, "I may be your brother-in-law, but you ignored my calls and even told me to leave? If you don’t give me two packs of cigarettes this time, don’t expect me to be friendly next time!"
Watching Leng Qiufeng panting as he ran in from outside, Ye Xuan was bewildered for quite a while, finally realizing.
He almost forgot that the Leng Family’s tribute was none other than Zhanfeng Pavilion, right?
Ye Xuan was speechless, "Brother-in-law, you can’t blame me completely for this, have you ever heard the story of the boy who cried wolf? Who told you to always find me for not-so-decent things in East Sea?"
"What do you mean by not-so-decent things? A man’s interests are limited, how is that not decent?"
Leng Qiufeng was furious.
Ye Xuan shrugged, "If you think it’s decent, why don’t you tell your father about it? Or should I let Qiuge tell him?"
"I..."
Leng Qiufeng was choked, turning red and unable to retort.
Ye Xuan, too, didn’t bother to bicker further, shifting his gaze back to Du Chong, "Brother Du, as they say, no fight, no friendship. Now that we’re acquainted, let’s forget about the earlier misunderstandings, shall we?"
Du Chong said, "I naturally wouldn’t bother with such matters."
"That’s the best!" Ye Xuan laughed heartily, "How about this, I’ll host a dinner tonight, a proper meal to apologize, how does that sound?"
"No need, I’m not interested in meals or drinks." Du Chong waved his hand, "Today, I came to ask you about one thing."
Ye Xuan, "What is it?"
"The Martial Arts Tournament."
