[First Update] 230: Chapter 229 Continue Your Performance!

[First Update] After a bout of playful frolicking, Ye Chuxue suddenly thought of something, blinking her beautiful big eyes, she asked, “By the way, where’s Little Cutie?”

Li Chen shook his head and said, “I don’t know, probably still hiding at the bottom of West Lake digesting food!”

“Quack, quack!”

The Jade Golden Toad, sunk at the bottom of the lake, seemed to have heard Li Chen and Ye Chuxue’s conversation.

From the waters of West Lake, a series of “quack quack” sounds resonated.

Ye Chuxue extended her slender, scallion-white fingers, pointing at the ripples on West Lake, saying, “Li Chen, listen, it’s Little Cutie calling!”

Li Chen said, “Let it be, let it stay here for a couple of days to digest properly!”

“Right, Xue’er, where shall we head to now?”

Ye Chuxue thought for a moment and said, “I sneaked out and haven’t had the chance to greet grandma and my cousin yet, maybe we should head back to the Tang Family first.”

Li Chen replied, “Alright, let’s head back then.

I haven’t seen grandma in a long time, it’s a good time to visit her!”

“Hehe, okay!”

Ye Chuxue’s smile bloomed beautifully, joyous like a child.

Just as Li Chen and Ye Chuxue arrived at the Tang Family home, they saw Tang Zhiyong hurriedly running out.

“Chuxue, where did you run off to?

It’s not peaceful in the streets now, grandma was just asking me to go look for you!”

Ye Chuxue stuck out her playful tongue, extending her scallion-white fingers, and pointed at Li Chen, saying, “I went to find him!”

Hearing what Ye Chuxue said, Tang Zhiyong then realized Li Chen’s presence.

With a slightly reproachful tone, he questioned: “Li Chen, where have you been running off to?

You’ve been missing the whole day?”

Li Chen sheepishly smiled and responded, “Just went out for some errands, what’s up?”

Tang Zhiyong inquired, “You heard about today’s incident at West Lake, right?”

Li Chen thought to himself, not just heard about it, I was one of them!

Of course, he didn’t voice these thoughts.

Even if he did, it would likely be dismissed as a joke.

Moreover, his appearance during the daytime had changed quite a bit compared to now.

Besides, with the turbulent waves on West Lake earlier, hardly anyone could recognize his features.

“No, I went to Lingyin Temple to offer incense and didn’t go to West Lake.

Did something happen?”

Li Chen feigned complete surprise, acting like an oblivious onlooker.

Ye Chuxue glanced at Li Chen and covered her mouth, giggling foolishly.

Her beautiful big eyes playfully blinked twice as if to say: I’ll just smile and won’t talk; you continue your act!

“Ah, Li Chen, why did you innocently go to Lingyin Temple to offer incense?

Today at West Lake, Donghua Li Immortal Master and Dragon Family Ancestor were contending for dominance over Jiangnan.

It was spectacular, even more thrilling than a Hollywood blockbuster!”

While speaking, Tang Zhiyong gestured with his hands to mimic the fight scene, his eyes gleaming with envy and longing.

“Oh, really?

So, who won?” Li Chen, the intrigued onlooker, decided to play along to the end.

Tang Zhiyong said, “It was that Immortal Master Li from Donghua, who seems to be about our age.

At the age of twenty, he already dominated everything south of the Yangtze River.

Meanwhile, we were still studying, becoming useless scholars.

Ah, truly, comparing people can be infuriating!”

“Right, now in Hang City, and probably throughout the entire Great Jiangnan, it won’t be peaceful.

Don’t run around outside at night to avoid any accidents!”

“Mm, okay, we understand!” Ye Chuxue nodded, still giggling foolishly.

As they spoke, her slender hand subconsciously clung tightly to Li Chen’s arm.

Upon entering the main gate, suddenly a sobbing sound came from inside.

Ye Chuxue tilted her head to listen, blinking her eyes, she问 asked Tang Zhiyong, “Isn’t that Third Aunt’s voice, why is she crying?”

Tang Zhiyong didn’t directly answer Ye Chuxue’s question but casually asked, “Chuxue, do you remember what Third Aunt’s surname is?”

Ye Chuxue’s mind was a bit slow, not understanding why Tang Zhiyong would ask such a question.

Yet, she still honestly answered.

“Surnamed Long, what’s wrong?”

Tang Zhiyong said, “Exactly, Third Aunt is from the Long Family.

Now that the Dragon Family Ancestor has died, the Long Family’s power is crumbling.

Before long, a major power cleanse is sure to occur throughout Great Jiangnan.

Any family that has been close to the Long Family will definitely suffer!”

Hearing Tang Zhiyong’s words, Ye Chuxue’s expression involuntarily stiffened.

She never imagined that a mere confrontation could have such a vast impact.

Seeing the astonished expression on Ye Chuxue’s face, Tang Zhiyong said, “Ah, Chuxue, you don’t know, the conflicts and deceptions among these great families are severe.

It’s a good thing your aunt had the courage back then; she chose to love who she wanted rather than surrender to the arranged marriage grandma had set for her.

Now, isn’t she living a very happy life?”

“The young lady Tang Zhiyong spoke of is Ye Chuxue’s mother, Tang Lan.”

“Ye Chuxue’s father, Ye Yuancheng, although always looking down on Li Chen and nitpicking him, indeed dotes on his wife and daughter.

He can definitely be considered a good husband and a good father.”

“Otherwise, Li Chen wouldn’t have stayed with the Ye Family for five years.”

“Ye Chuxue asked, ‘Brother Zhiyong, what did grandfather and grandmother say, and what is Third Uncle’s attitude?'”

“Tang Zhiyong replied, ‘Third Aunt has been married into the family for four or five years now.

But to this day, she has not borne any children.

Grandmother has been brooding over this for a long time, but due to the Long Family’s influence, she dares not say anything.'”

“‘But now that the Long Family has fallen, grandmother is forcing Third Uncle and Third Aunt to divorce.

On one hand, it allows Third Uncle to remarry, preventing his line from being cut off.

On the other hand, it also provides an opportunity to clearly sever ties with the Long Family and thus show goodwill to Li Immortal Master, as a precaution to avoid being involved if the city gates catch fire due to one person thereby troubling the entire Tang Family!'”

“‘Grandfather didn’t say anything, which was in acquiescence to grandmother’s action.

Third Uncle and Third Aunt love each other deeply and firmly disagree on divorcing.

They are probably in the hall arguing with grandmother right now!'”

“Ye Chuxue didn’t expect the situation to be so serious and hastily said, ‘Then let’s go have a look!'”

“Li Chen gently held Ye Chuxue’s hand and whispered softly, ‘Don’t worry, it’ll be fine!'”

“Ye Chuxue looked at Li Chen and gently nodded.”

“At this moment, direct descendants of the Tang family, scattered around Hang City and neighboring areas, were all gathered in the main hall.”

“Adhering to the principle of self-preservation, the majority of those present agreed with the old lady’s perspective, pressuring Third Uncle Tang Lianhe and his wife Long Xiaodie to divorce.”

“Tang Lianhe, fighting alone, looked again at his tearful wife and indignantly said, ‘Before the fall of the Long Family, you all tried every possible way to ingratiate yourselves with Xiaodie, looking to connect with the Long Family through her.

Now, seeing the Long Family’s imminent collapse, you turn your graces into enmity, is this not killing the donkey once the grinding is done?'”

“Faced with Tang Lianhe’s fury, his brothers and nephews somewhat guiltily lowered their heads.”

“In fact, they were all well aware that this move was somewhat indecent, hinting at breaking the bridge after crossing the river.

Yet if they didn’t act this way, and thus provoked the anger of Li Immortal Master, how would the Tang Family cope?”

“They knew that Li Immortal Master had the power to move heaven and earth.

In just three months, he had consecutively obliterated the Tongzhou Tie Family, Yanzhou Qin Family, and Hang City Long Family.

Now the Tang Family, even weaker than the weakest Tie Family among these three, stands no chance.”

“If they truly enraged this Li Immortal Master, perhaps there was no need for him to act personally — just a word from him would be enough for others to do his bidding and flatten the Tang Family.”

“‘Younger Brother, I have made up my mind about this; you must divorce no matter what.

Otherwise, I will act as if I never had you as a son!’ the old lady fiercely slammed the table, exuding authority without anger.”

“Tang Lianhe looked at the old lady and without a word, immediately fell to his knees with a thud.”

“‘Mom, I understand your concerns, you worry that because Xiaodie is a member of the Long Family, it might provoke that Li Immortal Master, affecting the entire Tang Family.'”

“‘Since that is the case, then consider you never had me as a son.

Without me, the Tang Family will still be the Tang Family.

Now that the Long Family has fallen, if Xiaodie loses me as well, she becomes nothing.'”

“Little Die never expected her usually silent husband to show such deep love and righteousness at a critical moment.”

“The couple embraced and wept bitterly, causing the listeners to feel heartbroken and the onlookers to shed tears.”

“This, however, infuriated Old Lady Tang greatly, as she forcefully thumped the ground with her cane.”

“‘Rebellious son, rebellious son, you really are going to be the death of me, the death of me!'”

“‘Cough, cough, cough, cough…'”

“Overly agitated, she suddenly started coughing violently.”

“Seeing this, Ye Chuxue hurried forward to support her, gently patting the old lady’s back.”

“‘Grandmother, please calm down, don’t get angry, lest you harm your health.

The situation is not so severe yet, there will always be a solution.'”

“After speaking, she stealthily glared at Li Chen.

Her look meant: You caused this, you solve it.”

“Understanding her, Li Chen cleared his throat and resolutely said, ‘Chuxue is right; this matter of the Long Family will definitely not involve the Tang Family!'”

“However, his words were like stirring up a hornet’s nest.”

“Ye Chuxue could be considered half a Tang family member and was deeply loved by the old lady.

Her saying thus was not too objectionable.”

“But who are you, Li Chen?”

“Just an outsider, what right do you have to interfere in our Tang family matters.”

“Suddenly, the suppressed anger of the Tang family members burst forth like a barrage of cannonballs towards Li Chen.

All kinds of harsh words were incessant, making the scene exceedingly awkward.”

“‘Li Chen, you haven’t seen how fierce Li Immortal Master is; he almost flipped the entire West Lake.

If he takes his anger out on the Tang Family because of this, tell us, how should our Tang Family cope?'”

“‘Uncle, he’s just a high school student.

He knows nothing, why make a fuss over him?'”

“‘Li Chen, you say you’re already an adult, how come your mind is still so closed off?

Do you want our entire Tang Family to be at someone else’s mercy like you?'”

“…”
