Chapter 293: Chapter 284: Enemies on a Narrow Road

At this very moment, as she watched Long Chen walk away, disappearing from her line of sight, Ye Zhiqiu wept, unable to stop crying.

"Zhiqiu, don’t be foolish," Chen Feng could not cultivate Martial Arts, and that made him useless to our Ye Family.

So, no matter what, he would never be able to enter the doors of our Ye Family," said Murong Xiu earnestly.

"Zhiqiu, I can tell you this, even if I agreed to let you continue your relationship with him, have you thought about the possibility that some young and talented person who admires you might take issue with Chen Feng’s existence? Could Chen Feng survive that? I think not.

So by forcing him to stay, you’re actually harming him. Wake up," said Ye He seriously.

Ye Zhiqiu remained silent.

Her family was saying something, but she wasn’t listening at all.

...

Outside, just as Long Chen stepped out of the Ye Family’s main gate, he came face to face with a Rolls-Royce stopped right in front of him.

A young man in a black suit got out of the car.

The man was exceptionally handsome, wearing sunglasses, and checked the time as he exited the car.

However, when he looked up and saw Long Chen, he was totally stunned.

Long Chen gave the young man a second glance, feeling as though he looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

But Long Chen didn’t dwell on it, and took a step forward, intending to leave.

Just when Long Chen had taken a couple of steps forward, the young man shivered with fear and stepped back a distance.

Long Chen was taken aback, why was he so afraid of him?

Thinking this, Long Chen stopped, looking at the young man with interest.

The young man was also staring at Long Chen, very cautious.

Because this young man was Yan Yiqiu.

Yan Yiqiu could have never dreamed that he would encounter Long Chen at the Ye Family’s gate.

At this moment, Yan Yiqiu couldn’t be sure whether Long Chen had any Martial Arts Cultivation or not.

So, Yan Yiqiu dared not make a rash move.

The incredible deed Long Chen had performed at the Peak of Kunlun was still fresh in his mind.

"Why... why are you here?" Yan Yiqiu tentatively broke the silence.

"Oh, just wandering around, bored that’s all," said Long Chen indifferently.

He didn’t mention that he had lost his memory, nor did he show any sign of intimidation.

Instead, he calmly probed, trying to see if he really knew this person before.

Sure enough, Long Chen’s words made Yan Yiqiu panic even more, completely unable to read Long Chen.

"At the Peak of Kunlun, was it Ye Zhiqiu who saved you?" Yan Yiqiu asked gravely.

"Not really, as you know, it’s not easy to want me dead. And brother, I’m quite surprised you’re still alive," Long Chen extended his hand, wanting to pat Yan Yiqiu’s shoulder.

Unexpectedly, Yan Yiqiu dodged in great fear and then swiftly opened the car door and sat inside.

"What are you doing?" Long Chen was astonished.

"I... I just remembered there’s something urgent I need to attend to. I was originally here to visit the Ye Family, but I must be going. Brother Chen, until we meet again," said Yan Yiqiu, starting the car as he spoke, and as soon as he finished speaking, he drove off in a cloud of dust.

Long Chen stroked his chin, deep in thought.

To Yan Yiqiu, the sight of him seemed to strike terror as a mouse before a cat, a fear so genuine it could not be feigned.

Furthermore, this led him to deduce that he must necessarily be enemies with the youth he had just encountered.

Otherwise, the young man would never have shown such fear of him.

"Never mind, stop thinking about it for now."

Long Chen shook his head and stepped away.

Considering his current state, not only was he unable to pursue Martial Arts, but he had also lost his memory. What was the point in pondering too much?

...

On the other side, Yan Yiqiu ran swiftly.

Only after covering several kilometers did he pull over to stop his car. After calming himself, he called Ye He.

Ye He, receiving Yan Yiqiu’s call, seemed somewhat excited.

"Princely Heir, are you about to arrive?"

Ye He asked.

"There has been a change of plans, I’m afraid I won’t make it today," Yan Yiqiu said, trying to maintain his composure.

Ye He was puzzled. Hadn’t everything been arranged smoothly? Why was there a sudden emergency?

Nevertheless, due to Yan Yiqiu’s status, Ye He didn’t dare to probe further. "If that is the case, the Princely Heir is always welcome to visit another day."

"That’s kind of you. Oh, there is one thing I wanted to ask about," Yan Yiqiu said after a moment’s hesitation. "How did Long Chen happen to be at your residence?"

"Long Chen?"

Ye He paused, then chuckled, "Heir, you really do joke. After Long Chen was defeated by you at the Peak of Kunlun, his whereabouts became unknown. How could he possibly be at our place?"

"Mr. Ye Senior, this matter is of great importance. I hope you’ll speak truthfully. A friend of mine encountered Long Chen just a short while ago at the gates of your manor. He was wearing a white shirt, blue jeans, and black leather shoes today."

Yan Yiqiu spoke sternly.

A chill ran through Ye He’s heart. Wasn’t that a description of Chen Feng?

Could it be that Chen Feng was Long Chen?

Ye He recalled that it was Ye Zhiqiu who brought Chen Feng back, and that both their names contained the character ’Chen’. Could it be that Chen Feng was indeed Long Chen?

Not hearing a response from Ye He and glancing at his phone, Yan Yiqiu’s voice grew heavier, "Mr. Ye Senior, I am certain he is Long Chen. Long Chen has always been on good terms with the Ye Family, why didn’t you mention this earlier? Could it be, you wish to entrap me, Yan Yiqiu?"

"Perish the thought," Ye He replied. "Heir, I, Ye He, have not grown foolish enough to oppose you. Truth be told, there indeed came a man named Chen Feng to the Ye Family recently, but I truly had no idea he is Long Chen. I will definitely investigate this thoroughly and explain everything to you."

"Never mind the investigation, that man must be Long Chen, brought back from Kunlun by Ye Zhiqiu. Mr. Ye Senior, what you need to consider now is whether protecting Long Chen means going against me, against the Yan Royal Mansion."

Yan Yiqiu stated gravely.

"Heir, I honestly was unaware of this, and if I lie, may thunder strike me down."

Ye He became increasingly nervous, "Please believe me, I would never protect a useless person and offend you in doing so."

"What did you say? Long Chen is a useless person?"

"Yes, Heir, his Dantian is destroyed, and he can no longer practice Martial Cultivation," Ye He said.

"Ha-ha, excellent, really excellent. That explains why he let me go so easily when I encountered him outside your house; it turns out he is now useless, ha-ha."

Yan Yiqiu laughed heartily, his laugh filled with wild arrogance.

"Heir, if Chen Feng is indeed Long Chen, then he is currently completely incapable of rivalling you. You can be entirely at ease," Ye He said with a smile.

"Of course," Yan Yiqiu replied confidently. "Now that he is nothing but a cripple and fate has made our paths cross, just watch how I’ll torment him."

"Heir, we just kicked him out. If you intend to deal with him, we could perhaps lure him back. What do you think, should we do so?"

Ye He asked Yan Yiqiu.

"No need," Yan Yiqiu replied confidently. "As long as he is in the Imperial City, I can ensure he has no escape. Simply killing him would be uninteresting; I must play with him slowly."
