Chapter 148 (2/2)
The commotion by the doors of the mansion grew louder and louder, and Ling Zhan’s voice began to grow louder and louder as well. It seemed as though they were really about to fight already. Ye QingChen then smiled awkwardly and said, ”Let us settle the matter by your doorstep first.”
As they walked to the entrance of the Ling mansion, they were all startled. There were two old man glaring at each other like they were in a c.o.c.k fighting ring with all the blades of the Ling family’s guards out of their sheaths. All of these men were personally picked out by Ling Xiao from the army, how would they be ordinary?
Outside the mansion, the elites of the Yang family were also fully dressed in armor, with killing intent emanating from them. There were over a thousand of them who were present! Behind Yang KongQun, there were two emotionless looking plain dressed old men. Occasionally, there would be a divine light s.h.i.+ning from their eyes, obviously showing signs of profound inner Qi! Behind Duke Ling, there were also two black dressed men with a concealed aura, looking as though they were experts as well.
Ling Tian whispered with doubt, ”Grandmother, who are those two black dressed men behind grandfather? Why haven’t I seen them before?”
Old Madam Ling patted him on the head and said, ”These two are your grandfather’s personal guards. When your father frequented the battlefield in the past few years, your grandfather had sent them to your father’s side. Now that there are no more battles, the both of them would naturally return. This time, the line-up of the Yang family really cannot be underestimated. This cavalry is obviously the elites amongst the elites. Don’t tell me Yang KongQun is really planning to commit a heinous crime and fight our Ling family?”
Ling Tian studied Yang KongQun carefully and laughed, ”That old man is putting nothing up nothing more than a false bravado. If our Ling mansion was his intention, he would have already launched an attack for sure. For him to be only arguing with grandfather, it can be seen that his only motive is Mister Ye.” without a trace of concern in his words.
”He, Yang KongQun, still do not have the rights to take away someone from our Ling family!” Old Madam Ling snorted, ”Look at how this old lady will shatter that old goat’s head with my walking stick!”
”Please wait, old madam!” Ye QingChen walked forward calmly with a relaxed smile, ”Since Yang KongQun is here for this Ye, then let this Ye send him away.”
Before waiting for Old Madam Ling’s reply, Ye QingChen had already taken a step out.
Old Madam Ling was stunned and wanted to follow him forward. However, Ling Tian pulled her back and shook his head, ”Grandmother, watch this show quietly. I want to see how Yang KongQun will conclude this matter!”
Old Madam Ling’s face turned serious as she asked softly, ”Ye QingChen isn’t the one who took action this time? The way that darn old man is acting, it seems as though he has concrete evidence. Mister Ye has bestowed our Ling family with a great favor. Even if he is an expert, it would be difficult for him to fight against such numbers, he must definitely be careful!”
Ling Tian then revealed a sly smile, ”Rest a.s.sured grandmother, Mister Ye isn’t the one who took action. Grandson is certain that this old man Yang will definitely go back depressed this time. He definitely will not be able to touch Mister at all! Ah ah, our Ling family can even use this opportunity to build up our reputation, becoming an existence that even the Emperor of the Sky Bearing Empire would not dare to touch.”
Old Madam Ling’s face was filled with doubt but Ling Tian did not explain anything.
On the other side, Ye QingChen had already opened his mouth, ”I heard that the Family Head of the Yang family is here to catch this old man? I wonder what crime this old man committed?”
As he opened his mouth, everyone quietened down immediately and looked at this person who was at the heart of this storm. They all never expected him to walk out so easily!
Yang KongQun’s eyes narrowed and said with a sneer, ”Mister’s martial arts is extremely profound, killing a hundred people alone and murdering the young n.o.ble of the NanGong family, NanGong Le. After that incident, you did not escape and still dare to appear out in the open. Your courage is something that this Yang really admires!”
Looking at Ye QingChen, Yang KongQun seemed to be extremely confident and calm on the surface. However, he was extremely nervous in his heart. From the loud roar last night, there wasn’t a single expert in the Yang family who didn’t feel their hearts tremble! Just how many of such experts could there be in the world? At the very least, the Yang family did not have any of such experts!
Knowing that they were here to capture him today, everyone was prepared to die here today! Since Ye QingChen was such an expert, how would it be possible for them to capture him without paying the price? Besides that, it is extremely likely that he will escape, even if the Yang family were to pay a heavy price!
After a long discussion, they finally decided to send the two most powerful experts of the Yang family to guard Yang KongQun. This is to ensure that Yang KongQun would not fall into the hands of the enemy and become a hostage. As for the remaining experts, they would dress up as normal guards and hide themselves amongst the Heavenly Blade Troops. The moment a fight breaks out, they would be able to catch Ye QingChen off guard and capture him in one fell swoop!
Ye QingChen’s expression was extremely calm and unperturbed. Occasionally, there would be a look of disdain in his eyes, ”Family Head Yang, this Ye is just a fortune teller trying to make a living in the pugilistic world. I never expected that entering the capital would make Family Head Yang think that I am a murderer. This is really the biggest joke in the world! In the world, you would find it hard to take a single step forward without a proper reason. Catching a thief or adulterous couple cannot be based on the one-sided statement of someone! You said that this Ye is the murderer, alright! I wonder what evidence or witnesses you have?!”
