Chapter 1195: Chapter 1194: For You, Against the Whole World

Early the next morning.

Yang Chen returned from running and saw Yang Chenxi standing at the villa entrance, elegant and graceful like a fairy. The morning sun shone on her, making the place she stood seem like a fairyland.

Such a scene had long been Yang Chen’s desire. Unable to help himself, he quickened his steps and ran up to Yang Chenxi.

"Wipe your sweat," Yang Chenxi handed over a towel, though Yang Chen’s face was barely perspiring.

For Yang Chen, such exercise was just a mere warm-up.

Yang Chen cheerfully accepted the towel, wiped the few drops of sweat off his face, and looked at Yang Chenxi with a goofy smile, making it hard to believe this was the feared Asura King.

Not to mention that he’s also the brains behind the Longyu Group—such a high-level intellect.

Yang Chenxi’s face showed a complex expression as she looked at Yang Chen.

"What’s wrong?" Yang Chen noticed something was amiss and couldn’t help but ask.

Yang Chenxi hesitated for a moment and said, "Today... is the day of the New City competition, right?"

"Hmm!" Yang Chen nodded slightly, saying indifferently, "No worries, the Wu family can’t do anything to me."

"But..." Yang Chenxi said urgently, "This time, it’s not just the Wu family you’ve upset."

Yang Chen paused and then looked at Yang Chenxi, laughing, "So what?"

"Why don’t you understand?" Yang Chenxi asked anxiously, "By offending the Yun family and the Wu family, you’re essentially making enemies with all the major Ancheng family forces—they’ll unite to deal with you!"

"So what?" Yang Chen’s face remained with a smile, looking at Yang Chenxi as if she was talking about a few roadside thugs rather than the influential families of Ancheng.

Yang Chenxi looked at Yang Chen with a complex expression.

She understood Yang Chen’s intentions and knew what he was doing.

It’s just...

"For me, is it worth it?" Yang Chenxi asked.

Hearing this, Yang Chen’s expression turned serious; he gazed into Yang Chenxi’s eyes and said firmly, "It’s worth it! For you, I’m willing to fight against the world!"

In that moment, Yang Chenxi felt as if an arrow had pierced her heart.

The arrow penetrated Yang Chen’s heart and then through her own, connecting their hearts. Not far away, a chubby angelic Cupid hovered, holding a heart-shaped bow and arrow.

Yang Chenxi’s myriad of emotions converged into one phrase, "Thank you!"

Yang Chen waved his hand, smiling, "No need to be polite, don’t worry about upsetting these prestigious families in Ancheng—if more come along, it won’t mean much either."

"But I’m still scared; if in the New City they all target you..." Yang Chenxi expressed her concern.

"Don’t worry, I’ve got a plan." Yang Chen laughed, pulling Yang Chenxi inside.

Inside, Ruan Ling had already prepared breakfast.

"Xiaochen is back, come quickly, eat! Chenxi, wash your hands and join us. Try the porridge I’ve cooked; I got up at four to prepare it—it’s especially fragrant!" Ruan Ling called, smiling.

Yang Chenxi was wearing a white long dress, looking elegant and fresh, far more appealing than yesterday’s stark black outfit, making Ruan Ling admire her even more.

Having found such a beautiful daughter-in-law, she couldn’t ask for more and naturally treated Yang Chenxi warmly.

Yang Chenxi felt shy and a bit uneasy, as Ruan Ling was Yang Chen’s mother, which made her feel slightly restrained.

After freshening up, everyone sat at the table to eat.

Ruan Ling’s porridge was indeed very delicious and fragrant.

A large pot of porridge was quickly finished by the group.

After breakfast, Yang Chen wiped his mouth and stood up, looking out the window.

Outside, Third Master Wu and Wu Yihan had arrived and were waiting.

Yang Chen spoke to everyone and then got up to head out.

Upon seeing Yang Chen, Third Master Wu and Wu Yihan immediately came forward.

"Mr. Yang!"

"Brother Chen!"

Yang Chen nodded slightly and noticed they hadn’t brought anyone else, only a driver in the car.

Clearly, they had bet everything on Yang Chen and trusted him fully, not bringing even their own people.

"Did you hear the news?" Yang Chen asked.

Third Master Wu and Wu Yihan’s smiles became strained, a hint of tension in their eyes.

They’d heard about yesterday’s events.

On Cloud Mist Mountain, Yang Chen not only took Yang’s Left Envoy but also clashed with the Yun family’s two elders and even eliminated some of their subordinates, escaping unscathed from Cloud Mist Mountain.

These actions had thoroughly angered the Yun family.

In their view, the upcoming New City battle would be extremely dangerous!

However, given the situation now, the father and son had no choice.

They nodded slowly.

Yang Chen said, "As long as you’re aware, the New City matters will be perilous; just be prepared."

Even hearing this from Yang Chen made them even more nervous.

"We... trust Mr. Yang! As long as Mr. Yang is here, we fear nothing!" Third Master Wu said after a moment’s hesitation.

"Right!" Wu Yihan added, "The New City competition is among the younger generation. Second Young Master Yun is a Martial Arts Grandmaster, and so are you! Besides, didn’t Yang’s Left Envoy defeat Second Young Master Yun? He can’t compare to you either! You and Yang’s Left Envoy are the real young martial arts geniuses—no one can hold a candle to you. In my view, the nine family clans are nothing but empty talk compared to you!"

"Hey! Who are you talking about?" Zhang Yiran called out from the doorway annoyed.

Seeing Zhang Yiran, Wu Yihan’s face stiffened.

He naturally recognized Zhang Yiran but hadn’t expected him here. Zhang Yiran was the heir of the Zhang family, and to say such things in his presence made Wu Yihan feel awkward.

Zhang Yiran, however, said, "Even though you’re not wrong, hearing it makes me want to punch you!"

Third Master Wu quickly said, "Young Master Zhang, please don’t take offense at my son, he’s just being straightforward, no harm intended!"

"I know, but... don’t let me hear it again because... forget it!" Zhang Yiran waved his hand helplessly and walked away.

He felt that with Yang Chen here, whatever he said was a losing battle.

Yang Chen chuckled and said to the two, "Don’t worry, you don’t need to act if something unusual happens; just leave quickly to save yourselves."

"No way!" Third Master Wu replied resolutely, "We’ll never leave your side and will stand with you till the end!"

"Right, we won’t run away; we’ll fight to the end! We’ve been suppressed for so long; it’s time to resist!" Wu Yihan stated.

Yang Chen laughed, "I said it’s just in case; this time, your main goal is to divide the New City assets, just be ready for both scenarios."

"Got it!" The two nodded seriously.
