Chapter 260: Chapter 255: Yu’er Asks for Help

"Alright, don’t get too emotional; there’s plenty of time ahead," Long Chen whispered, patting Han Yun on the back.

"What do you mean by that?" Han Yun asked, a little panicked.

At this moment, she was like a girl who had just fallen in love, anxious and uncertain.

Long Chen smiled and said, "What I mean is, there will be plenty more opportunities to be moved in the future."

"You scared me," Han Yun said with a sigh of relief, "Sit down for a bit, I’m going to warm up the dishes in the kitchen."

"Xinxin, watch TV nicely and don’t run around, I’m going to help mom warm up the food," Long Chen told Xinxin.

"Ok, I’ll be good," Xinxin said with a sweet smile.

"Good girl. Han Yun, go ahead and warm up the food," Long Chen said as he personally carried the dishes into the kitchen.

Han Yun was stunned. She hadn’t expected that Long Chen, the boss of Dragon Shadow Group, would do such chores.

But more than that, Han Yun felt happy.

After moving all the dishes to the kitchen, Han Yun was about to start when she saw Long Chen closing the kitchen door.

"What are you doing?" Han Yun asked, taken aback.

Long Chen grinned mischievously, "That black skirt of yours looks really nice."

"Hey, we’re in the kitchen, you know."

"I like kitchens," Long Chen said, wrapping his arms around Han Yun’s slender waist from behind.

Han Yun wanted to resist, but once Long Chen held her, she seemed to lose all her strength.

"Sweetheart, have your way with me then," Han Yun said, her eyes hazy.

That night was clearly anything but peaceful.

At three o’clock in the morning at the Xuanyuan Family estate, the Imperial City Sword God returned to his peak condition.

He summoned the Xuanyuan Madman for a deep conversation.

"Brother Xuanyuan, I’ve received word from the Imperial City. The Young Master will arrive in Qianzhou by early tomorrow. His arrival signifies that our confrontation with Long Chen, or rather, with the Dragon Palace, will be fully out in the open. Now, let me explain some things in detail to you," the Imperial City Sword God spoke softly.

"Sword God, please go ahead," the Xuanyuan Madman replied respectfully.

Even though he knew that the Imperial City Sword God had suffered a setback at the hands of Long Chen, the Xuanyuan Madman still didn’t dare to show any disrespect toward him.

The Imperial City Sword God took a deep breath and then said, "The Young Master and Yu’er are old friends. They’ve known each other for a long time. Can you guess who the Young Master is?"

The Xuanyuan Madman gave a wry smile, "That’s... hard to guess. Could the Sword God give me a hint?"

"They trained together in Dragon Hunting Hall," the Imperial City Sword God revealed.

Hisss.

The Xuanyuan Madman immediately understood, "The Young Master is that genius boy from three years ago in Dragon Hunting Hall, the one called Yiqiu?"

"That’s right," said the Imperial City Sword God with profound meaning, "The Young Master’s family name is Yan."

"The son of Lord Yan indeed doesn’t disappoint; a tiger father has no canine sons," remarked the Xuanyuan Madman.

"It’s inevitable," agreed the Imperial City Sword God. "I’ve heard from the Young Master that he is interested in Yu’er. If possible, let’s arrange their marriage during this visit. What do you think?"

Hearing this, the Xuanyuan Madman was overjoyed. If his granddaughter could marry the son of the Southern King, that would mean his lineage would completely take control of the Xuanyuan Family’s influence, even replacing the Clan Leader.

With this thought, the Xuanyuan Madman immediately said, "If Yu’er has this honor, I would be very pleased."

"What if Yu’er doesn’t consent? I’ve observed that she seems to be more interested in that Long Chen," the Imperial City Sword God said with a smile.

"Don’t worry about that; I’ll persuade Yu’er," the Xuanyuan Madman said.

"Then I’ll leave it in your hands. Now to discuss another matter," the Imperial City Sword God began. "Upon the Young Master’s arrival in Qianzhou, the showdown with Long Chen will begin. Both of us will need to fully support the Young Master. If Long Chen is defeated, that would be for the best, but if the Young Master cannot beat Long Chen alone, then we must intervene, sparing no expense to ensure Long Chen falls to Nine Nether. The Young Master is the Heir to the Southern King Mansion, and he cannot afford to lose."

"Got it," the Xuanyuan Madman nodded solemnly.

"Alright, let’s rest for now," the Imperial City Sword God said, walking out of the living room.

The Xuanyuan Madman, however, was too excited to sleep. After some thought, he had someone wake Xuanyuan Yu’er and bring her to the living room.

Yawning, Xuanyuan Yu’er asked grumpily, "Grandpa, what time is it? Can’t you let people sleep?"

"Yu’er, there’s an important matter we need to discuss. This concerns the fortune of our descendant and the Xuanyuan Family for the next hundred years," the Xuanyuan Madman said with fiery eyes.

"What’s the matter?" Xuanyuan Yu’er said, her sleepiness fading rapidly.

"Do you remember that Yiqiu from Dragon Hunting Hall? His real name is Yan Yiqiu, the Heir to Yan Royal Mansion, and he will be arriving at our home first thing tomorrow morning," said the Xuanyuan Madman, somewhat excitedly.

"What?" Xuanyuan Yu’er’s sleepiness vanished completely, and she was utterly astonished, "That Yiqiu is the son of Lord Yan?"

"Yes, I too was surprised. Who would have thought that the prodigy that once stirred the Imperial City was actually the Heir of Yan Royal Mansion?"

"So you’re saying that the one who wants to deal with Long Chen and the forces behind him is Lord Yan and Dragon Hunting Hall?" Xuanyuan Yu’er quickly put the pieces together.

"Smart," said the Xuanyuan Madman, "but the matter that I want to discuss with you isn’t that. The Sword God mentioned earlier that Yan Yiqiu likes you and wishes to marry you. I’ve already given my consent to the Sword God. Yu’er, a peerless talent like Yiqiu, with his strength, status, position, and future prospects, is rare in the world. Marrying him would be a great fortune, both for you and for our family."
