Chapter 1104: Because of a Girl
Liuyue is dead!
It wasn't Ye Xiao who killed him, but rather Chen Cangyu's perfect finishing blow.
At this moment, everyone present was surprised. Just now, Liuyue and Chen Cangyu were on the same team, but Chen Cangyu killed both Feng Hai and Liuyue in succession.
Ye Xiao didn't turn around, but he knew that Chen Cangyu had killed Liuyue.
At the same time, this also meant that Chen Cangyu had cut off his last escape route by killing Feng Hai, completely offending the Feng family. The Feng family, when all is said and done, is just a clan in Bird City, a mere drop in the ocean compared to the whole Yan Country.
But Liuyue?
It's different. Liuyue was a member of the Flame Dragon Team; killing him, in a sense, meant opposing the Flame Dragon Team, and to put it more gravely, it was opposing the state.
If the old master of the Chen family knew that his grandson had killed Liuyue, he probably wouldn't be able to maintain his composure anymore.
So, Chen Cangyu essentially made a decision on behalf of the Chen family, and this decision dictated the future direction of the Chen family.
Burning one's boats!
This was the idiom that appeared in Chen Cangyu's mind, and at the same time, it made him feel helplessly amused. He never thought he would one day reach such a point.
This shows that Ye Xiao is a clever person.
At the moment Ye Xiao stood up again, Feng Hai and Liuyue were already dead, but who killed them was a matter of high skill.
If Ye Xiao acted, it would naturally be solved quickly, but what benefit would it bring?
However, using Chen Cangyu's hand was different. It directly resulted in a 180-degree change in the Chen family's attitude towards him in the future.
Dealing with a family, winning over a family, Ye Xiao felt it was worth it.
Ye Xiao directly got into the black business car, and at this moment, everyone else understood that this matter had come to an end.
The Seven-colored Lamp, Blood Blade, and others left one after another.
In the blink of an eye, only Chen Cangyu and Liang Junlei were left in the warehouse.
The two of them, who previously didn't even have half a word to say to each other, were now the only ones who survived.
Liang Junlei watched as Chen Cangyu killed Feng Hai and Liuyue, so now looking at Chen Cangyu, he felt like he was looking at a murderous king, his face turned pale, and he didn't dare move from his spot.
"You saw it!" Chen Cangyu said flatly.
With a thud, Liang Junlei knelt down to Chen Cangyu, his voice trembling, "I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything, please let me go."
Chen Cangyu looked at Liang Junlei, at that pleading face, and suddenly felt a bit of sadness because he saw his own shadow in Liang Junlei.
Chen Cangyu was now slaughtering others, but in reality, he was also a target of slaughter.
"I won't harm your family!" Chen Cangyu said.
Liang Junlei wasn't a fool. When he heard what Chen Cangyu said, he immediately understood.
A scream echoed from the warehouse, even those who just left, like Ye Xiao and others, heard it.
"This Chen Cangyu is quite decisive in his actions." Wang Luoxin looked at Ye Xiao sitting opposite him.
Ye Xiao smiled slightly and said, "No one is unafraid of death."
Wang Luoxin watched Ye Xiao smile and sighed without saying anything else.
Meanwhile, Ye Ziyan was sitting next to Ye Xiao, looking at Ye Xiao's injuries with concern, saying, "Brother, does it hurt? What exactly happened today?"
Ye Xiao listened to Ye Ziyan's words and immediately laughed, saying, "Didn't I say? I can't die."
Ye Ziyan said, "At that moment today, I really thought you were dead."
"Haha! Maybe, maybe I was dead, but King Yan said he was afraid I'd take his place, so he sent me back. I thought to myself, I still have my dear sister here who needs my protection, how can I go and compete for the position with King Yan, so I came back." Ye Xiao spoke as if it was the truth.
Ye Ziyan listened with a face full of happiness, saying, "Brother, you're the best."
"Ziyan, are you really silly or pretending to be silly?" Cheng Yun looked at Ye Ziyan and said, "Ye Xiao is clearly lying to you."
Ye Ziyan chuckled and said, "I just like it."
"What a silly girl." Cheng Yun said helplessly.
At this moment, Wang Luoxin looked at Ye Xiao again and said, "Your strength seems to have improved a lot today, and when Liuyue died, he said you were..."
Wang Luoxin didn't finish her sentence, her eyes seriously fixing on Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao looked at Wang Luoxin for two or three seconds, then looked out through the car window at the torrential rain, his lips curving slightly upwards. He said, "For it to rain so heavily during this season, it seems that this Blue Star has been dragged to the point of climate change by human civilization."
Ye Xiao's words were inexplicable, seemingly suggestive, yet no one could understand them.
And what Wang Luoxin said, the people in the car all understood. Previously, before Liuyue died, she had told Chen Cangyu that Ye Xiao was of the Earth Rank. Although she spoke intermittently and softly, they were all Xuan Rank martial artists, with highly developed hearing.
Therefore, Wang Luoxin wanted to confirm it, or rather, it was what everyone present wanted to confirm. After all, the Earth Rank qualitatively differs from the Xuan Rank.
If the Earth Rank is compared to an adult, then the Xuan Rank is just in an infantile state.
The car left Lotus Driving School like this.
No one knew what happened at Lotus Driving School. Perhaps the rain was to cover up the slaughter.
The car quickly left the Lotus District and went directly to the Jinling District. The clear target for the car was the Tulip District.
Just as they were about to reach the Jinling District, Ye Xiao's mobile phone suddenly rang.
Ye Xiao took the phone out from his clothes; amazingly, it hadn't fallen out during the previous incidents, which was clearly a miracle.
Ye Xiao looked at the phone, seeing an unfamiliar number that indicated it was a local number from Bird City.
Ye Xiao hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to answer.
"Mr. Ye!" The voice was Chen Cangyu's.
"Is something the matter?" Ye Xiao asked as if nothing had happened, his tone as calm as could be.
"They have already disappeared from this Blue Star. No one will ever find them. I'll transfer those ten billion Northern Federation Coins to you now. Send me your bank account." Chen Cangyu said.
Ye Xiao smiled and said, "I thought you might be tempted by the money, but it seems you are quite cooperative."
Chen Cangyu said, "Mr. Ye, you're joking. I wouldn't dare to swallow Mr. Ye's money. In the future, if Mr. Ye needs anything, my family and I will fully support you."
"Well, thank you very much."
Although Ye Xiao said 'thank you,' there was no gratitude in his voice. Clearly, he felt it was expected.
Chen Cangyu, being so smart, could tell that Ye Xiao wasn't particularly pleased.
At this point, Chen Cangyu knew that he must become friends with Ye Xiao. Not to mention anything else, just the phrase 'Earth Rank' that Liuyue uttered on her deathbed was enough to make Chen Cangyu obedient.
After all, that was the Earth Rank, a god-like existence to an ordinary martial artist.
Even for someone like him, born into a martial arts family, the Earth Rank martial artists were immensely revered.
Reaching the Xuan Rank quickly is a sign of an exceptional talent, but reaching the Earth Rank requires exceptional talent, unparalleled martial arts secrets, and incredible luck. Otherwise, it would typically take at least sixty years to reach the Earth Rank.
Just like his grandfather, and the elder experts of the eight great martial arts families in Bird City, they didn't reach the Earth Rank at a young age. It took them until their fifties or sixties, after decades of martial arts training, to achieve such a breakthrough.
And Ye Xiao?
He is not yet twenty years old!
What kind of concept is this?
Chen Cangyu didn't know, but he knew one thing: Ye Xiao's future would be infinitely bright. Compared to Ye Xiao, he wasn't even the green leaf that could highlight the brightness. Just being able to stand under the light and bask in its glory was already a great favor.
"Mr. Ye, I know the Zhao family has caused you some trouble. On behalf of the Chen family, I will help you eliminate this trouble," Chen Cangyu said earnestly.
Clearly, this was the result Ye Xiao wanted to see.
Ye Xiao indeed wanted to ally with the Chen family, not because of Chen Cangyu's sudden defection, but because of a girl.
Yes, it was Chen Yiyi!
Ye Xiao knew that if the entire Chen family were wiped out, Chen Yiyi would be heartbroken.
Evidently, Ye Xiao disliked placing a pure and lovely girl like Chen Yiyi in such a situation. Ye Xiao had little resistance against sweet and innocent girls and, at the very least, felt a strong urge to protect them.
Everyone has their flaws, and Ye Xiao's flaw was likely such.
So Ye Xiao never planned to do anything to the Chen family from the beginning. However, Ye Xiao didn't expect things to progress so quickly and all according to his plan.
Especially that Chen Cangyu would proactively offer to help Ye Xiao with the Zhao family problem.
"Cangyu, this must be quite difficult for you. Your Chen family and the Zhao family must be quite close. This would make your family lose a friend," Ye Xiao said smilingly to Chen Cangyu. "So it's best to be cautious. A rash decision might bring some unexpected consequence to your family."
"A wise bird chooses a tree to nest in, and a wise minister chooses whom to serve. I understand this principle. I know Mr. Ye doesn't like to beat around the bush, so I'll be straightforward: I am the first heir of the Chen family, and in the future, the Chen family will follow my lead. Right now, I can assure you that my decisions are the decisions of the Chen family, and my decision now is to become friends with Mr. Ye."
Chen Cangyu's words were simple, but they were also very powerful.
