Chapter 553: Chapter 553 Provocation!

Ye Mengyun was infuriated.

She had originally come to rescue Zhou Yu.

But now, out of nowhere, she had become the target of an attack.

Not only was she sprayed with blood, but Zhou Yu had also accused her of causing more trouble.

Logically, she should have been angry, furious even.

But she was well aware of the situation they had just faced, and Zhou Yu was not wrong.

If she hadn’t been there, Zhou Yu wouldn’t have been hit by Yan Qu, let alone injured.

Yet he had chosen to turn back and save her, taking the punch himself.

This filled her heart with gratitude.

Caught between these two extreme emotions, she felt a painful tightness in her chest.

Just then, Ye Mengyun’s face suddenly changed dramatically.

"Be careful!"

Although Zhou Yu had his back to Yan Qu, he had sensed it—Yan Qu was actually attempting a sneak attack.

Zhou Yu wanted to fight back, but the punch from Yan Qu had severely injured him, slowing his reactions far from what they were in his prime.

At that moment, Ye Mengyun suddenly pulled Zhou Yu behind her and stepped forward to block him.

She didn’t even defend herself, just staring down Yan Qu’s attack.

Yan Qu’s expression changed, forcing him to withdraw his offensive, and then, he shouted angrily,

"Miss Ye, what are you doing?"

"This is none of your business, please leave."

Ye Mengyun’s face was full of disdain.

"A grand master from the Yan Family of the Capital City, resorting to such a despicable and shameless tactic as sneak attacks."

"The Yan Family from the Capital City, truly an eye-opener for me."

Being openly mocked by a younger generation like Ye Mengyun, Yan Qu could no longer maintain his composure.

"Ye Mengyun, although there are some disagreements between our Yan Family and your Ye Family, for the past two years we have generally kept the peace. Are you trying to stir up trouble between our families?"

Ye Mengyun sarcastically said,

"You? Worthy of stirring up a conflict between the two families?"

"Lay a finger on me and see what happens to you."

"You..."

Yan Qu’s face turned a dark shade of iron.

At that moment, Yan Xiangwen angrily denounced,

"Ye Mengyun, what do you mean by this?"

Ye Mengyun coldly said,

"He is someone my Ye Family has promised to protect."

"If you Yan Family want to touch him, you’ll have to go through me first."

Upon hearing this, both Yan Xiangwen and Yan Qu’s expressions darkened.

They hadn’t anticipated that the Ye Family would become involved in this matter.

If the Ye Family decided to protect Zhou Yu with determination, then indeed, they wouldn’t be able to lay their hands on Zhou Yu today.

But to just let Zhou Yu go wasn’t something Yan Xiangwen could swallow.

Just as Yan Xiangwen was about to speak up, he was stopped by Yan Qu.

Yan Qu said with a somber expression,

"Fine, for Miss Ye’s sake, we’ll give her this face today."

After saying this, he turned towards Zhou Yu.

"Kid, I hope you continue to have such good luck in the future."

After finishing, Yan Qu said coldly,

"Take Yan Bin, and let’s go."

However, just at that moment, Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes. In the brief few minutes that had just passed, he had harnessed Yi Wood True Qi to recover most of his injuries.

At that moment, a surge of powerful aura burst forth from him, instantly locking onto Yan Qu and his two companions.

Ye Mengyun’s face showed surprise.

She turned to look at Zhou Yu, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

As a fellow at the Great Innate Peak, Zhou Yu’s aura seemed excessively strong.

Was he really at the same level as her?

He felt stronger than some of the Saint Realm masters of the Ye Family.

However, despite her amazement, she was quite disappointed in Zhou Yu’s character.

Even though he possessed such impressive martial arts talent and medical skills, he was provoked by Yan Qu in just a few words, clearly showing his poor emotional control.

"Unable to control one’s emotions, difficult to accomplish great things," this was something her grandfather Ye Zhongshan often said.

While Ye Mengyun was lost in thought, Zhou Yu spoke up.

His expression icy, he said,

"Let me go?"

"If it weren’t for Ye Mengyun’s interference, I wouldn’t guarantee killing you, old man, but those two little dogs by your side, I could have slain with a wave of my hand."

Zhou Yu’s words were extremely arrogant.

The two little dogs, who was he talking about?

Clearly, it was Yan Xiangwen and Yan Bin.

Members of the grand Yan Family, being described by Zhou Yu as little dogs that could be killed with the wave of a hand, this was virtually trampling the Yan Family’s dignity underfoot, utterly humiliating them.

Yan Xiangwen instantly exploded with rage.

"Boy, you are too arrogant."

"If it weren’t for Ye Mengyun protecting you, do you think you could have survived under Elder Qu’s hands?"

"You barely escaped with your life, and instead of being grateful, you dare to continue provoking our Yan Family."

"Do you really think the Yan Family won’t dare to kill you?"

Yan Xiangwen’s anger was palpable, even Ye Mengyun could feel it clearly.

Ye Mengyun felt a bit displeased.

She had barely managed to save Zhou Yu, and yet he dared to provoke them again.

If they truly pushed the Yan Family into a corner and they killed Zhou Yu, she wouldn’t be able to stop them.

"Shut up."

"Stop talking."

"If you antagonize them further, I won’t be able to protect you!"

Ye Mengyun shouted lowly in anger.

Zhou Yu frowned.

"Protect me?"

"No need, just take care of yourself."

"You..."

Ye Mengyun was livid.

Just as she was about to continue, Zhou Yu suddenly moved swiftly, vanishing from before her.

"Zhou Yu..."

Ye Mengyun immediately realized something was amiss but was too late to intercept.

On the other hand, Yan Qu’s eyes shone brightly.

He had already given up on killing Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu had unexpectedly made his move.

Given such an opportunity, he certainly wouldn’t let it pass.

"Boy, die."

Yan Qu struck out without hesitation.
