Chapter 292: Chapter 283: Reality

Ye Zhiqiu hadn’t expected Long Chen to see everything so clearly.

After a few seconds of silence, Ye Zhiqiu said softly, "No matter whether you can gather True Qi or regardless of how things develop, I will firmly stand by your side."

"I believe you,"

Long Chen said softly.

"What are you discussing? Long Chen cannot gather True Qi?"

A voice suddenly came out of nowhere.

Ye Zhiqiu and Long Chen were both startled.

Then, Ye Zhiqiu turned around, looking back, "Mom, how can you eavesdrop on people’s conversation?"

Murong Xiu’s face was stern, and she said seriously, "Both of you, come to the living room. I think our family needs to sit together and have a serious talk."

After speaking, Murong Xiu left directly, without any superfluous words.

Ye Zhiqiu had a bad feeling, his face turning pale, "Oh no, I didn’t expect my mom to eavesdrop on us."

"It’s okay, let’s go and see, and don’t be afraid of whatever happens."

Long Chen comforted Ye Zhiqiu.

Ye Zhiqiu, looking at Long Chen’s calm demeanor, said bitterly, "What’s coming next could potentially be a severe blow for you, how can you remain so calm?"

"If it’s good fortune, it’s not disaster; if it’s disaster, it cannot be avoided. Let’s go,"

Long Chen said with a smile as he stood up.

Ye Zhiqiu observed Long Chen’s upright figure, filled with infinite emotion.

This man, whether before or after amnesia, always maintained composure and calmness.

It seemed as though even if the sky fell, he would not bend.

Yet even so, Ye Zhiqiu’s heart was heavy.

Upon reaching the living room, the Ye Family members were all already waiting there.

"Murong Xiu, what is this all about? Urging the family to gather like this in a hurry, just speak directly,"

The old master Ye He said sternly.

Murong Xiu took a deep breath and said in a grave tone, "Dad, everyone says Chen Feng is one in ten thousand talent, but he can’t gather True Qi, which means his Dantian is very likely damaged.

Therefore, I suggest you truly inspect, and if Chen Feng really cannot proceed far in martial arts, then we must consider other possibilities."

Murong Xiu’s words stunned Ye Yuan, Ye He, and Ye Zhiqiu’s younger brother Ye Zhen.

Ye He glanced at Ye Zhiqiu and asked, "Didn’t you say Chen Feng’s comprehension is unmatched? And that he developed True Qi in a very short time, how do you explain this now?"

"He..."

"I’ll speak," Long Chen intercepted Ye Zhiqiu.

He didn’t want Ye Zhiqiu to be in a difficult situation!

"All right, then you tell us, and after you explain, I will personally inspect thoroughly,"

Ye He said gravely.

Long Chen looked directly at Ye He and said, "Aunt Murong is not wrong, currently, I really can’t feel True Qi lingering inside my body, but I am not sure if the True Qi is truly lost."

"So, you are saying your Dantian is indeed ruined?"

Ye He asked.

"Yes, fundamentally, that is the case,"

Long Chen did not hide anything.

"Then there’s nothing more to say."

Ye He sighed, saying, "You indeed are a rare talent, even if you cannot follow the path of martial arts, you still have a great prospect. The future is boundless.

If you are willing, even if you cannot pursue martial arts, the Ye Family is still willing to support you, but I can’t let Zhiqiu and you stay in touch. Ultimately, you two are destined not to be together. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand," Long Chen said slowly, "I am not worthy of Zhiqiu. I will leave the Ye Family and not cause any trouble."

"What are you talking about?" Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly said, "Don’t talk nonsense."

She pulled Long Chen behind her.

Then, Ye Zhiqiu looked at Ye He, seriously saying, "Grandfather, whether or not one can practice Martial Arts is indeed very important for our family.

But I don’t think that Martial Arts alone can determine one’s future. The current Emperor has no Martial Arts Cultivation either, but look, who dares to despise Ancestor Xia?

I truly believe that even if Chen Feng really cannot practice Martial Arts, his future achievements will definitely not disappoint you. I hope you can give him a chance, give both him and me a chance."

"I will not take risks and gamble with you," Ye He immediately said. "Our family has thrived for hundreds of years, standing strong because of Martial Arts."

"But there’s still my younger brother Ye Zhen. Ye Zhen has good Martial Arts talent; he will surely be able to steer the Ye Family and keep us standing strong.

And I am a woman, of the weaker sex. I want to be with Long Chen, and I hope you will not stop us.

Moreover, as you have said, the Ye Family does not need to secure benefits through marital alliances."

Ye Zhiqiu spoke earnestly,

"But your man should at least have the capability to protect you. You have a different status and are so beautiful. If you follow Chen Feng, how will he protect you in the future?"

Ye He asked.

"Exactly," Murong Xiu said. "Ye Zhiqiu, you need to wake up, don’t be deluded. Waking up now will only hurt for a moment, but if you regret it later, it will be too late."

"Zhiqiu, you can’t marry someone who can’t practice Martial Arts; our family absolutely will not allow it.

If you continue to be deluded and be with a commoner, if your great uncle’s line finds out, I fear they won’t know how much to mock us."

Ye Yuan also said sternly.

"Big sister, just give up—he really isn’t suitable for you. A wastrel who can’t practice Martial Arts doesn’t deserve you."

Ye Zhen also said lightly.

Ye Zhiqiu’s gaze swept across all.

A moment later, Ye Zhiqiu, with a determined look in her eyes, said, "Then I’ll leave my words here too. No matter how much you oppose, I will not give up on Chen Feng. If need be, we’ll leave the family and even if we have to scavenge or beg outside, I want to be with him."

"That probably won’t be up to you," Ye He exclaimed. "If you remain deluded, we will consider locking you up to let you reflect properly.

As for Chen Feng, he either leaves the Imperial City far behind, or he might, unfortunately, have to die."

Hearing this, Ye Zhiqiu finally panicked.

What she feared the most was things turning out this way.

Long Chen watched the heated arguments among the Ye Family members, feeling a mix of emotions.

Indeed, reality was so cruel.

After the revelation that he couldn’t gather True Qi, the indifference shown by the Ye Family members was unbearable.

Thinking of Ye Zhiqiu’s kindness towards him, Long Chen sighed inwardly.

No matter what, he could no longer implicate Ye Zhiqiu.

"Zhiqiu, let’s leave it at this for today. I will leave on my own; you don’t need to see me off.

If one day I can practice Martial Arts, then I will come back for you."

With these words, Long Chen turned around without hesitation and walked away.

"Chen Feng, you are not allowed to go!"

Ye Zhiqiu panicked, wanting to follow him.

"Grab her,"

Ye He immediately ordered.

Ye Yuan and his wife swiftly moved, grabbing Ye Zhiqiu from both sides.

Ye Zhiqiu’s eyes reddened as she watched the proud figure of Long Chen walking away, feeling an immense pain in her heart.

At this moment, Ye Zhiqiu finally understood that her feelings for Long Chen were not feigned.

Indeed, she had truly fallen in love!
