Chapter 1193: Chapter 1192: Forcing the Court

Yang Chen fell silent, unsure of what to say.

Ruan Ling also frowned slightly.

After a long pause, Ruan Ling finally said: "Alright, what’s the use of saying all that now? It’s all in the past, isn’t our son doing well now!"

Fu Zhou frowned and remained silent, his tightly clenched fists still not loosening.

Yang Chen sighed and looked at Fu Zhou, saying: "Perhaps they had their own reasons for doing it?"

"Reasons?" Fu Zhou sneered, "I, Fu Zhou, was deceived for the first half of my life, and I absolutely won’t be in the second half! I will naturally get to the bottom of everything! I’ll repay kindness and avenge hatred!"

After saying this, Fu Zhou swung his arm and strode upstairs.

"Old Fu!" Ruan Ling called out urgently, but Fu Zhou completely ignored her.

Helplessly, Ruan Ling could only sigh and say to Yang Chen: "Xiaochen, don’t mind him. All these years, you know... we’ve been looking for you for a long time, and so many things have happened, your father is under a lot of pressure, so... don’t mind, I’ll go try to reason with him."

Yang Chen nodded slightly, watching Ruan Ling leave as well.

Yang Chen sighed and walked to the sofa, sitting down.

He knew Fu Zhou had many misunderstandings about the Ye family, but explaining them was very cumbersome.

When given the chance, Yang Chen would resolve this conflict.

At this moment, Yang Chenxi, wearing casual shorts and a T-shirt, walked downstairs.

Her smooth white legs, jade-like ankles, full figure, and stunning beauty made Yang Chen mesmerized.

Yang Chenxi felt a bit uncomfortable being stared at by Yang Chen, her cheeks reddening slightly, and she lowered her head slightly.

"You’re really beautiful!" Yang Chen praised, looking at Yang Chenxi approaching.

Yang Chenxi’s face flushed red, but the corners of her mouth revealed a hint of a smile, seemingly satisfied with Yang Chen’s compliment.

"Come, sit here," Yang Chen patted the sofa beside him and said to Yang Chenxi.

Yang Chenxi hesitated for a moment but sat down.

Yang Chen looked at Yang Chenxi sitting beside him, and her pleasant fragrance made him dazed.

This feeling... how long has it been since he last indulged in it?

Yang Chen really missed it.

...

On Cloud Mist Mountain.

The lights have been on for a long while, and the voices persist.

Second Young Master Yun had to expend great effort getting the crowd to stay and continue attending the banquet.

At the same time, Second Young Master Yun sent people to clean up the scene and also to search the entire mountain.

Once he confirmed everyone had left, Second Young Master Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Despite this, Second Young Master Yun still had the entire villa searched to check for listening devices or anything of the sort.

After meticulously inspecting inside and outside three times, Second Young Master Yun finally felt at ease.

At this very moment, Second Young Master Yun no longer had the arrogance from his arrival.

He had once pridefully believed his talent was unparalleled, breaking into the Grandmaster Realm at the youngest age in hundreds of years. Yet the result was... Yang Chen and Yang Chenxi had already become Grandmaster experts early on.

Moreover, they could oppose the Inner Cabinet Elders of the Yun family, their strength was terrifying.

This sent Second Young Master Yun into a downward spiral.

His proud talent, his proud cultivation level, in the presence of Yang Chen and Yang Chenxi, were not even worth mentioning!

His methods seemed laughable in front of the two.

Furthermore, Yang Chenxi’s rejection and betrayal were something Second Young Master Yun couldn’t accept.

Although the two were strong, it did not mean Second Young Master Yun would be intimidated.

He wasn’t alone!

Backing him was the Yun family!

The foundation of the Yun family is incredibly formidable!

So what about Yang Chen?

So what about a Grandmaster Realm expert?

To the Yun family, they are akin to ants!

Immediately, Second Young Master Yun took a deep breath and walked toward the music hall.

Pushed open the door.

The six Clan Leaders sitting inside immediately looked at Second Young Master Yun and stood up.

Second Young Master Yun closed the door, gazed at the six with a grim expression, and said deeply: "I know what you’re thinking! You’re thinking I’m not really some once-in-a-millennium genius, nor the youngest Martial Arts Grandmaster in hundreds of years, that’s all Yang Chen and Yang Chenxi!"

The six looked somewhat embarrassed.

Indeed, that was their thought, but having it directly pointed out by Second Young Master Yun was undeniably awkward.

Second Young Master Yun, however, didn’t care at all, looking at them, he said: "So what? Are you scared now? Are you ready to let Yang Chen humiliate you, ready to let Longyu Group swallow up your enterprises? Shrinking back, prepared to act like a turtle hiding in its shell?"

Upon hearing this, the six Clan Leaders couldn’t help but feel some anger.

After all, they were Clan Leaders in their own right, how could they permit a youngster to speak such unpleasant words in front of them!

"Second Young Master Yun!" Bai Clan Leader spoke coldly: "Whatever you want to say, just say it directly!"

"Good!" Second Young Master Yun shouted, "Since you asked, I’ll tell you! As long as Yang Chen is still around, Ancheng will never be peaceful! You will never live a single comfortable day! The hatred isn’t just between Yang Chen and me, nor is it between the Yun family and Yang Chen; it’s between us in Ancheng, between us Nine Venerables and Yang Chen!"

"Take the Wu family as an example!" Second Young Master Yun pointed at the Wu Clan Leader, "Do you think hiding your heads since you’re afraid to face Yang Chen and Longyu Group will make them just drop it? Will they stop? Or during commercial competition, will they give you concessions? Or in industry competition, will they avoid you and develop alongside you? The hatred between you, do you think they won’t bring it up again, won’t mind it anymore? Impossible! I’m telling you! As long as you cower, they’ll relentlessly pursue their advances! They’re not going to stop! They’ll continually swallow up your enterprises, seize your wealth, and slowly absorb your family’s foundation to the point of wiping your Wu family from Ancheng entirely!"

The Wu Clan Leader’s expression changed dramatically.

Not because he found Second Young Master Yun’s words threatening.

But because he knew Second Young Master Yun was right!

If they don’t dare confront Yang Chen and Longyu Group directly, then Yang Chen and Longyu Group would keep pushing their luck, and given their past enmity, they might directly swallow up the Wu family, or... entirely obliterate the Wu family!

This was absolutely unacceptable to him!

Immediately, the Wu Clan Leader shouted angrily: "Afraid of them? Do you think we’re avoiding making this a bigger issue? So what if he is a Grandmaster expert? The foundation of a family cannot be challenged by someone like him!"

"Good! Very good!" Second Young Master Yun applauded and said to everyone: "You’ve all heard what Wu Clan Leader said! He’s simply trying not to blow things out of proportion, but things have already escalated! It’s a life-and-death showdown between Yang Chen and me! I must deal with Yang Chen, I must kill him, I must topple Longyu Group! However, I need your help! You’ve seen their talent, seen their methods! If we don’t move quickly, what awaits us will be destruction! You might think you can stay above the fray, but in the future, we’ll have nothing to do with each other, we won’t welcome interlopers who sit back and reap the rewards without getting involved!"

After finishing, Second Young Master Yun coldly looked at the other five Clan Leaders.

Tonight, he’s determined to force a showdown!
