Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Someone Looking for Trouble?
Qin Yanyang eventually did not make things difficult for Li Xuanyu.
No, she did not make things difficult for Yang Fei either.
She could tell that the relationship between Yang Fei and Li Xuanyu was good; Yang Fei did not have the heart to refuse Li Xuanyu and would not fail to help her.
Even so, before making a decision, Yang Fei had looked at her seeking her opinion. It was the greatest respect and affirmation given to her.
Given that, why would she let her man face difficulties and disappoint him?
Qin Yanyang only insisted on one point, as long as the patent rights for the secret recipe provided by Yang Fei belonged personally to him, the collaboration could continue; otherwise, there was no need for a collaboration.
Li Xuanyu clearly wanted the patent rights, but seeing that Qin Yanyang was firm and that Yang Fei shared the same thoughts as her, she did not continue to insist on this matter and chose to compromise.
After dinner, when Li Xuanyu was leaving, she asked Yang Fei for his phone number and added him on WeChat.
Yang Fei did not refuse.
Previously, he did not want to meet Li Xuanyu, but having met her, it would be too pretentious to deliberately avoid her now, considering their past friendship. It was impossible not to stay in contact in the future.
The three of them got up, preparing to leave, when suddenly a shout came from a distance.
"Stop, who are you? This is a private territory, no outsiders are allowed nearby without permission!"
Although they were not close, both Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang recognized that it was Zhang Long’s voice.
"Bang!"
Immediately afterward, a dull sound was heard, apparently someone was sent flying.
Yang Fei frowned slightly.
This place was considered as the headquarters of the Dragon and Tiger Hall. Who would dare cause trouble here in Binhai?
He was just about to go outside to check when he sensed several sharp and powerful presences appear.
A fight had broken out outside, and it was quite noisy.
Qin Yanyang was also secretly shocked; based on what she heard, she could determine that the people clashing outside were very strong and even posed a threat to her.
Why would there be such powerful experts here to block the others?
Moreover, such strong experts coming here must not be because of the small Dragon and Tiger Hall, but surely they were targeting somebody else.
Was it herself or Yang Fei?
Or perhaps it was the young miss of the Li Family’s Financial Group?
Qin Yanyang’s mind was filled with doubts, but she stealthily observed Li Xuanyu.
Li Xuanyu looked calm and composed, not showing any sign of being frightened like a normal girl would.
But this was to be expected, since she was the young miss of the Li Family’s Financial Group and had experienced many ruthless events from a young age; she wouldn’t be easily perturbed.
"I’ll go have a look," Yang Fei said to the two women.
Qin Yanyang smiled and said, "It’s okay. Let’s go have a look together."
With Yang Fei’s current reputation in the Divine Continent Martial World, almost all the forces in the martial world were aware that the Dragon and Tiger Hall had a good relationship with Yang Fei. Now that someone had intruded here, especially such powerful experts, she wanted to know who they were and what their purpose was.
Yang Fei smiled, irresistibly took Qin Yanyang’s hand.
Now, as long as the two of them were together, they were unafraid even if facing National Guardian Level experts for a short time.
Li Xuanyu, unaware of these events, saw the two holding hands in front of her and thought they were showing off their affection deliberately, scoffing inwardly and giving Yang Fei a slight reproachful glance.
Yang Fei saw her expression, but pretended not to notice and walked outside holding Qin Yanyang’s hand.
Li Xuanyu watched their entwined hands and the shadow of Qin Yanyang’s back, a flicker of cold light flashing through.
Qin Yanyang and Yang Fei walked ahead, their attention focused on the fight outside, but she suddenly felt a jolt, a sensation of a prickle in her back.
She definitely felt a chill just then.
Thinking about it, her lips slightly curled upwards, but she did not turn around to look.
Interesting. The young miss of the Li Family’s Financial Group whom her husband met overseas is not simple either.
Moreover, he actually has assets worth more than thirty billion US Dollars; how exactly did he acquire them?
Even with such a high combat power, acquiring such immense wealth in just a few years is extremely difficult.
Thinking this, she inadvertently turned her head to look at Yang Fei, her eyes filled with intense curiosity.
Li Xuanyu saw it as an adoring gaze.
Yang Fei, however, did not know what Qin Yanyang was thinking, and felt very pleased as he interpreted her look as tender and affectionate.
Once outside, two people were sparring in the distance, displaying immense strength. The force emitted with each collision of fists and palms was like a Qi Blade, severely damaging the wooden structures of the mansion where it struck.
One of them was Xu Xiao, and the other, younger in appearance, exuded a fierce and domineering aura, his strength no less than that of Xu Xiao.
Standing by, Xu Yunshan observed the scene with a grave expression, yet refrained from joining the battle to outnumber the opponent.
"Do you know him?" Yang Fei asked Qin Yanyang.
Furrowing her brows, Qin Yanyang slowly shook her head, "I’ve never seen him before."
Confusion was evident on her face.
In the Divine Continent Martial World, she had a list and photos of all the famous skilled individuals; she recognized them.
Due to her special duties, she was very familiar with the life stories of many high-level martial arts experts above the Energy Transformation Seventh Rank.
She even had information on some of the powerful individuals and key figures from various global forces.
Yet, she had genuinely never seen this middle-aged man before.
For her not to recognize a man of Unique Tier combat power truly piqued Qin Yanyang’s curiosity.
As Qin Yanyang and Yang Fei stepped out from the room, the middle-aged man clashing with Xu Xiao glanced over and noticed the trio.
His eyes visibly shifted.
After pushing Xu Xiao back with a palm strike, the man immediately turned and sprinted away.
"Stop him!" Qin Yanyang urgently said.
Hearing Qin Yanyang, Xu Yunshan immediately gave chase.
Xu Xiao also had stabilized his stance before bursting out in pursuit.
"Weren’t the Xu Family driven out of the Divine Continent Martial World? Since when did they become lapdogs for the Imperial City Qin Family, truly losing all the honor of their ancestors," said the fleeing middle-aged man mockingly as he saw the relentless pursuit of the Xu brothers.
Qin Yanyang narrowed her eyes.
The man recognized her!
Simultaneously, she felt an unusual gaze coming from behind her; it was Li Xuanyu, who was looking at her after hearing the man’s words.
However, Qin Yanyang did not turn around, pretending not to notice Li Xuanyu’s scrutinizing gaze.
Xu Xingzhou carried the barely alive Zhang Long to Yang Fei, with Xu Mao following with a solemn expression.
Seeing Zhang Long barely clinging to life, a fierce light flashed in Yang Fei’s eyes as he loudly said, "If you let this man escape, you might as well leave, too."
Xu Yunshan and Xu Xiao, upon hearing this, both felt a jolt of shock in their hearts. Xu Yunshan did not hold back and exerted his full strength to intercept the man.
Xu Xiao, however, felt immensely indignant.
Was this a command?
No matter how he was a Unique Tier martial artist, he was being directed by a man in his twenties, which was infuriating!
Although annoyed, he had no choice but to endure it.
This young man had connections that were crucial to the Xu Family’s future; Xu Xiao’s presence was originally meant for an apology, so he could not jeopardize the family’s major plan.
Even though both brothers, matching in Unique Tier strength, joined forces, the man, intent only on fleeing, did not engage in the fight. Despite their efforts, Xu Yunshan and Xu Xiao could not detain him, and the trio soon disappeared in the distance.
If not for Xu Yunshan’s need for Yang Fei’s generosity in fully committing to the pursuit, the man might have escaped much earlier.
Yet, even though the brothers did their utmost, the man was only focused on escaping, and they could not deter him for the moment.
Yang Fei frowned and let go of Qin Yanyang’s hand.
Qin Yanyang immediately grabbed it back, saying, "Let’s go together."
Yang Fei, however, shook his head and said, "He’s not worth it; don’t worry."
Seeing his strong self-assuredness, Qin Yanyang smiled faintly and voluntarily released his hand.
Yang Fei’s figure flashed as he charged forward.
Zhang Long was under his care, and there was no way Yang Fei would allow someone who had hurt Zhang Long to leave unscathed.
