Chapter 423: Reunion

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Chong rested at one corner silently with Feng Su, who looked tamed like a kitty upon recognizing the fact that more mischiefs would only cause more pain in her.

Her stare wandered upon the surrounding, as panicked she was, knowing that she would be utterly helpless as long as Ye Chong was there. Her expression stayed calm however, and her beauty still attracted a considerable amount of gazes even at the corner.

A handsome man approached them with a friendly smile.

But the hustle of the crowd held his step.

Apparently the head of Yan family and the old lady had showed up at the hall. Ye Chong looked over to the other side, his eyes went soulless upon recognizing that one face…

The host was a total stranger to him, but the old lady… she was the enemy!

Yes, it was the same old lady he spotted on Dankwood, whom the Han family escorted to safety in the midst of chaos.

No wonder the Abductor had eyed her! He had remembered stories about this old lady. Wait, there was somebody else. Ye Luo? Was that Ye Luo? Ye Chong spotted that great man who smiled brightly next to the old lady.

He came?!

Well, Ye Chong soon calmed down, it was just natural to see Ye Luo, the participant of the Congregation last year to be in the same venue this year. He just thought they would not be reuniting anytime soon. Fate was surely capricious.

Ye Luo\'s eyes turned threatening the moment he spotted that indifferent young man in the crowd. He knew Ye Chong\'s little camouflage trick and he could see through it, but his perception changed the moment he saw Feng Su. He quickly withdrew the hostility in his eyes, though his gaze at Ye Chong turned odd.

Ye Yin\'s expression changed when he identified that smiley man who exchanged gazes with him in the crowd. The man was smiling, yet he could feel the pressure.

They might have put up their act flawlessly but people in the hall were no folk, as other guests could discern the slightest change in atmosphere.

Feng Su too sensed the atmosphere as she shifted her focus to the two men between the crowd. She looked at Ye Yin, then the smiling man, she flinched.

Similarly, Ye Chong, as he looked into the crowd, flinched too.

Feng Su was surprised of Ye Chong\'s reaction since that was the first ever shudder she ever saw on him. What had made him shudder?

Ye Chong froze at the corner, as his eyes fixed upon that white waving silhouette.

The little boy would like to see the old lady and the head of Yan family, as Rui Bing led him to the front.

She glanced across the crowd and suddenly she stopped. The little boy felt strange, as sensed the inertia, he shook her hands a few times but Rui Bing remained frozen on the ground.

He lifted his head, just to be shocked of Rui Bing\'s expression.

Two fresh streams of tears rolled off her pale cheeks, as her empty gaze fixed afar.

The little boy wanted to say something but his pendant was buzzing.

The atmosphere turned more intense.

The experts evacuated themselves soon after they confirmed the change in atmosphere, while the old lady had been led to the corner as well.

After the place had been cleared out, they realized the situation was not simple as they had assumed.

There was not one, but two pairs of exchanging gazes.

Ye Yin versus Huang Jiming, the angry vs the smiley.

Ye Chong to Rui Bing, the speechless vs the tearing.

Ye Chong had never experienced such sensation before. Something was occurring in him upon seeing Rui Bing in tears, and he once thought he had a heart of ice.

The little boy had expressed the calmness not of his age, as he recognized the strange man at the opposite upon perceiving Sister Bing\'s expression.

He might have put up a camouflage, but he was still Sister Bing\'s partner.

Feng Su distanced away from Ye Chong quietly.

Ye Chong no longer sensed the surroundings. His senses became numb, the noises gradually faded away with the silhouettes of people. His alertness was toned down as he only saw that white garbed lady with that pair of teary eyes.

Safe. Feng Su had sneaked to Huang Jiming\'s side.

"Wow, I never knew there would be drama…"

"It\'s the Congregation, the big shots always have all sorts of business going on in the dark." The crowd whispered as they looked at the 7 people at the center. The 7 people certainly had something fishy going on together, especially after a few guests had identified Rui Bing and Huang Jiming, the two sudden challengers at the center. And there was Feng Su, the pretty yet deadly Jie expert, Ye Luo the trusted fighter by the old lady, along with the few unknown experts there. All casts had arrived, the camera should be rolling.

"Hmm… I have seen that young man somewhere before…," muttered the old lady as she pointed at Ye Chong. "Send the men to investigate everyone at the center, fast!" Ordered the head of Yan family as immediately caught on the old lady\'s gesture.

"And I thought I\'ll never meet you again. This is pretty exhilarating if you ask me," initiated Huang Jiming, with his signature bright smile, though his tone was grim.

"Right…," replied Ye Yin, with an indescribable bloodlust and a stoned expression of his. "It\'s been three years eh… since our last encounter."

Ye Luo nearly dropped his jaws as in confusion he poked Ye Yin a few times, "W-who is he? Your enemy? But I had never heard of this? When did you have an enemy?" Well, Ye Luo was a horrible pilot anyway, so he never had the chance to face an opponent like Huang Jiming. Furthermore he did things with fists rather than the mechanical handle, so he was not aware that Huang Jiming, the smiley man before him, was one of the top 3 legends.

"I\'ll say we are more like rivals," corrected Ye Yin gravely.

"Hah!" Laughed Huang Jiming, "I like your choice of word!"

Ye Luo could not resist but to flatten his lips.

Oh? So you\'re playing the deep game with me now? Ugh.

He thought as he looked at Ye Chong.

Wait a sec.

He looked at Huang Jiming whom Feng Su stood next to, then back to Ye Chong where Rui Bing was standing opposite to.

The covetousness struck him, as he sprinted to Ye Chong, "Oh my, so that\'s your Lady Luck eh? Tsk, tsk, tsk, I mean, Ladies* Luck. That explains why I never have such luck. By the way, which one is your… you know… the one and only?"

Ye Chong promptly raised his finger upon Rui Bing, "Her."

Ye Chong\'s little gesture of indirect confession came as a heavy blow at Rui Bing, as she dropped her head. Her tears had stopped, seemingly evaporated due to the heat building up on her cheeks. Rui Bing had always been demonstrating the mighty side of her, being a Jie expert; but only when Ye Chong was there, Rui Bing would reveal that little girl inside.

But well, Ye Luo had just spoiled the moment.

"Man, brother, I must say, how could you be a two-timer when your son is already this old?" said Ye Luo as he pointed at the little boy next to Rui Bing.

If it was not because of the location, Rui Bing would have fired something from her sleeves.

"Well, well, well, it\'s been three years, time sure flies huh…," muttered Huang Jiming. "I wonder if Mr. Ye had lost his skills, I feel eager to try…"

"Try me," replied Ye Yin firmly.

Ye Yin walked towards the exit without a single thought and Huang Jiming followed him with a smile. Feng Su hurriedly went after the smiley man.

The little boy\'s pendant was vibrating so vigorously that even Ye Chong could begin hearing the buzzes.

"What is that?" Ye Chong took a look, and he almost collapsed, "Mu/Shang!" He recognized the pendant, it was the dimensional keystone of Mu/Shang. Certainly it had to be! Even if he turned blind, he would know it upon touch.

He ran towards the little boy and was going for that reunion, but then he realized at closer look, that it was not Mu/Shang\'s dimensional keystone. The pendant did have very similar appearance as the keystone, not only design but also the texture. The difference… well, he could see it now, there were different patterns on the surface.

"Brother Ye, you know Brah?" asked the little boy in bewilderment, "Who\'s Mu/Shang?"

The pendant vibrated harder!

"Sister Bing, Brother Ye… we should be going outside. Brah wants to walk…"

Ye Chong grabbed the little boy up by his collars, as he held Rui Bing\'s hand tightly.

Rui Bing\'s heart was warm, as she quickly seized that powerful hand of the one she loved. She would not want to lose it again, the very treasure of her life.

Ye Chong exchanged glances with Rui Bing, he made a tip with his toes and he zoomed to the outside. In the wind the little boy struggled, "No… I want Sister Bing. I\'m calling for child abuse!" The pendant vibrated in specific rhythm, seemingly protesting for the boy as well.

A battle was happening and Ye Chong decided to treat that protest with ignorance.

Feng Su was following that smiley man. Ye Chong would presume that he was from the Xi Feng tribe. On the other hand, Ye Luo and that cold-blooded man seemed to be in one team too, he must be from Ye family.

Then, a battle must be happening, judging from their exchange, a battle from the past.

Ye family versus the Xi Feng tribe.

How could one miss it?
