Chapter 185

Chapter 185: Chapter 184 "Tianchen, it’s best if this matter could be downplayed. Let me negotiate with Xuanyuan Teng!" Seeing Ye Tianchen also getting out of the car, Ling Yuxun couldn’t help but express her concern.

Ling Yuxun and Ye Tianchen were childhood playmates, and the Ye family and the Ling family had a great relationship back then. Spending these past few days with Ye Tianchen, Ling Yuxun often found herself reminiscing about their childhood, those good memories deeply embedded in the heart of a young girl, forever indelible.

Xuanyuan Teng had always been pursuing Ling Yuxun, harboring some affection for her. Of course, it was not just pure affection but also an intention to utilize the Ling family’s influential position in the business world. It’s rumored that the Xuanyuan family is very skilled in the Black Force, bluntly speaking, they possess significant underworld influence. Throughout the years, they have accumulated many assets, but these assets are hard to legitimize. That’s why the Xuanyuan family wanted to marry into the Ling family, so they could leverage the Ling family’s influence to legitimize some of the Xuanyuan family’s illegitimate income.

Frankly speaking, Xuanyuan Teng’s pursuit of Ling Yuxun involved his father’s intentions; it was Xuanyuan Teng’s father who instructed Xuanyuan Teng to do so and also applied pressure on the Ling family through other means, forcing the Ling family to agree to the marriage. When the time came, even if the Ling family didn’t consider the Xuanyuan family, they had to think of their daughter, Ling Yuxun.

What Ling Yuxun had not expected was that Xuanyuan Teng would hurry back to Capital City overnight. It seemed that this time he was very angry and would definitely take harsh action against Ye Tianchen. The most likely possibility was that he would kill Ye Tianchen.

In Ling Yuxun’s view, Ye Tianchen, despite being somewhat skilled, couldn’t withstand Xuanyuan Teng’s slaughter because Xuanyuan Teng was surrounded by many top fighters, mostly ruthless bandits from the underworld, far beyond what characters like Ah Hu could compare with. Moreover, the Ye family had been declining for not just a year or two; even if the old Mr. Ye Yuanshan was still alive, he probably couldn’t compete with the Xuanyuan family. Thus, Ling Yuxun wanted to intervene. If her own influence wasn’t significant enough to persuade Xuanyuan Teng, then she would use the power of her Ling family to speak directly with the Xuanyuan family.

But to her surprise, Ye Tianchen pulled Ling Yuxun aside and smiled, "Hiding behind a woman is not my style!"

"Who the hell are you, daring to stand out? Don’t you know that being a whistle blower at Longteng University will get you chopped off by our young master Xuanyuan Teng?" The black-suited bodyguard standing at the front, speaking arrogantly as if he were Xuanyuan Teng himself, disdainfully pointed at Ye Tianchen’s head.

Bang!

Ye Tianchen’s response was just a kick, sending the speaking black-suited bodyguard flying out at the entrance of Longteng University, with many male and female students watching, striking hard to teach a lesson to such wicked men. The black-suited bodyguard fell heavily to the ground, struggling to get up but lacking the strength to do so. By this time, Ye Tianchen’s physique had become more powerful after undergoing a transformation, making him tough for ordinary fighters to handle without even using his Superpower.

"You... who the hell are you? What are you guys doing standing there? Get him, kill this kid!" Another black-suited bodyguard regained his senses and fiercely shouted at Ye Tianchen.

"I, Ye Tianchen, never provoke troubles, but I’m also never afraid of them. If Xuanyuan Teng wants to trouble me, then let him come to me himself!" Ye Tianchen coldly looked at the remaining black-suited bodyguards.

At those words, the remaining more than ten black-suited bodyguards were all stunned. Initially wanting to rush forward and attack Ye Tianchen, they ended up freezing in place, with none daring to advance. They were all the Xuanyuan family’s fighters, naturally aware of young master Xuanyuan Yu being beaten, and knew about Xuanyuan Teng sending Ah Hu, who then deployed over three hundred machete-wielding thugs to surround Ye Tianchen in Kuozhai Alley. Yet, Ye Tianchen had bloodily fought his way out, a chilling thought.

About the incident last night, Lu Shengda cleverly kept it under wraps, blocking news from all sides and strictly ordering his men not to leak a hint of information. Even if the largest media in Capital City called to inquire and interview, they were to claim they knew absolutely nothing.

Lu Shengda was very shrewd, and after several interactions with Ye Tianchen, he finally decided to stand by Ye Tianchen’s side because he believed in Ye Tianchen’s strength. Even if left with nothing but his fists, Ye Tianchen was not someone just anyone could provoke.

"You... you’re Ye Tianchen..." Another black-suited bodyguard stammered in fear upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s words.

"Tell Xuanyuan Teng to come out. If he wants to play, I’ll play with him!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

Upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, not only the black-suited bodyguards but also the other onlooking male and female students were stunned. Every student studying at Longteng University knew the big name of Xuanyuan Teng. Among the ’Three Young Masters of Longteng,’ Xuanyuan Teng was notoriously domineering, at least openly so. Anyone who dared to challenge Xuanyuan Teng, even the son of Capital City’s mayor, ended up permanently disabled, and it was quite normal for less conspicuous people to suddenly die.

So, when Ye Tianchen bluntly stated he would play with Xuanyuan Teng, over the years at Longteng University, only Ye Tianchen dared utter such words.

"My brother is on his way here. You still have time to kneel down and kowtow to me now!"

While everyone was astonished at Ye Tianchen’s courage, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old kid walked out from the crowd, and the more than ten black-suited bodyguards consciously made way for him, respectfully watching the young boy.

The question that even a toe could foresee wasn’t about anyone else, but rather about Xuanyuan Yu, who, despite his young age, behaved outrageously without border. He glared at Ye Tianchen with venomous eyes, seeking revenge for the humiliation he had suffered at the entrance of Longteng University, where Ye Tianchen had slapped him publicly.

Xuanyuan Yu had ordered more than ten black-suited bodyguards to wait for Ye Tianchen at the entrance of Longteng University early in the morning because he knew his brother, Xuanyuan Teng, had returned. Feeling backed up and assured, he believed Ye Tianchen’s demise was certain. His arrogance surged once more, wiping away the fear he had felt earlier upon learning that Ah Hu’s plan had failed.

In Xuanyuan Yu’s heart, his family, the Xuanyuan family, was everything. He believed he could do as he pleased, and no one dared to challenge him. His brother Xuanyuan Teng was the absolute boss, having the power to determine life and death. Now with his brother back, Ye Tianchen’s death was imminent.

For this reason, Xuanyuan Yu wanted to take advantage of the time before his brother arrived to show off his power by teaching Ye Tianchen a harsh lesson to regain some dignity. Once his brother arrived and dealt with Ye Tianchen directly, his anger would be satisfied, believing Ye Tianchen wouldn’t dare retaliate or defy his brother.

Ye Tianchen glanced at Xuanyuan Yu and moved toward him with a slight smile, which instinctively made Xuanyuan Yu step back, stammering, "What, what do you want to do..."

"I hear your brother is back? Where is he?" Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

"Hmph, scared now, aren’t you? It’s too late. You dared to strike me, you must die. Beg for mercy and kneel to apologize while my brother isn’t here yet. Perhaps then you can keep your whole corpse!"

Thinking that Ye Tianchen was scared, Xuanyuan Yu straightened his back and glared back menacingly. His vicious demeanor didn’t match his age and it made the surrounding male and female students of Longteng University feel disgusted. Many thought to themselves, "You insolent brat, one slap should finish you," but none dared to act.

Slap!

Ye Tianchen acted; he slapped Xuanyuan Yu, sending him to the ground with a bleeding mouth corner, which evidenced the force of the slap. The blow dazed Xuanyuan Yu, causing his head to buzz.

"You... you..." Xuanyuan Yu covered his face with his right hand, looking at Ye Tianchen with horror. He had not expected Ye Tianchen to strike him, knowing that his brother Xuanyuan Teng was about to arrive.

"Let me ask you again, where is your brother?" Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

"I... I don’t know. But you’re definitely going to die today!" Xuanyuan Yu said fiercely, glaring at Ye Tianchen and growling.

Thud!

With one foot, Ye Tianchen stepped on Xuanyuan Yu’s face, causing him to scream out. Ye Tianchen had no sympathy for such a vicious young thug, thinking it better for him to disappear from this world early and bring peace to ordinary people.

"Ah... my face..." Xuanyuan Yu screamed, grabbing Ye Tianchen’s ankle, feeling his facial bones breaking under the pressure, and cried out in agony.

"Does someone like you even need a face? Does the Xuanyuan family need a face? Since you don’t need it, I, Ye Tianchen, will shatter it!" Ye Tianchen said, anger stirring as he increased the pressure on his foot.

"No, don’t kill me. My brother... he’s about to arrive. He won’t let you go!" Xuanyuan Yu howled.

"I’m just asking you where your brother Xuanyuan Teng is. Why all the useless talk?" Ye Tianchen coldly stated.

"I, I don’t know... He should be arriving soon. There’s still time for you to let go!"

Xuanyuan Yu was terrified. He had thought that with his brother Xuanyuan Teng back, Ye Tianchen would no longer dare to touch him, and he would have the upper hand. Little did he know, Ye Tianchen wasn’t influenced by such considerations; whether his brother had arrived or not, provoking him meant a beating was in order. (To be continued.
