Chapter 281 Must Endure
Ling Fan couldn't help but softly exclaim, "Hmm? You know me?"
Ling Fan sized up the young man before him, feeling puzzled, as he couldn't recall ever seeing the other party before!
Upon hearing this, Long Tianyu felt a chill in his heart, and his gaze turned blank as he muttered to himself, "Damn it, does Young Master Duan actually know this guy? So am I supposed to just accept today's humiliation?"
Tan Hao and others had just seen an elder smack Peng Ming away like swatting a fly, they couldn't help but feel a surge of satisfaction. Before they could even cheer, they were startled by the baffling turn of events before them.
This young man was the only one at the scene who might have a chance of taking care of this guy. If even this hope was shattered, wouldn't their Dragon-Slaying Business Association be finished today? Especially for him and Tan Tianlei, whether or not they could leave this place alive was uncertain!
The onlookers were also stunned by the developments. They had assumed that there was a tense stand-off between the two parties, and had thought that Young Master Long was about to start a counter-kill, already eager to cheer them on!
This freaking plot twist was too sudden; if these two knew each other, wouldn't that be too absurd!
Kern took a deep breath. Were the connections of the Mysterious Emperor too terrifying, or was it that there was no one in the world he didn't know?
Even Xiao Chubing and the other women felt boundless admiration, unable to express their feelings with words. This guy's network seemed somewhat terrifying!
Facing Ling Fan's retort, the young man was dumbfounded for quite a while, then finally stammered out, "The rumors in Zhongnan say that the guy who claims to be Qiao Yuchan's man, is that you?" Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire
Ling Fan's eyebrows twitched, his displeasure visible as he glanced at the young man before him. Why did that question sound so off? What did he mean by 'claims'?
Moreover, Xiao Chubing was right beside him, and he hadn't yet figured out how to explain this matter to his wife. Wasn't this just stirring up trouble?
With this thought, he couldn't help but steal a glance at Xiao Chubing. Thankfully, she didn't embarrass him.
However, in her heart, Xiao Chubing was inwardly cursing, giving Ling Fan's back a sharp glare, "This bastard, hooks up with another the moment he goes out? Let's see how I'll deal with you when we get back!"
The onlookers exchanged confused looks. The atmosphere seemed different from what everyone had expected. Hearing the tone of Young Master Long's friend, it didn't seem very friendly!
Under the gaze of the crowd, Ling Fan stayed silent, reminiscing about his every moment with Qiao Yuchan in Zhongnan with a sigh!
He was not a man without responsibility, naturally, he wouldn't deny it, and at the same time, he had a rough guess about the identity of this person before him – it's likely that this guy was one of the many admirers of Qiao Yuchan in Zhongnan!
Shaking his head inwardly, he said indifferently, "Whether I claim it or not, you don't need to worry about that. If you have any objections, feel free to speak up!"
Ling Fan's answer was an indirect admission to the other party's question.
"Phew~"
The young man exhaled heavily, staring intently at Ling Fan, and enunciated every word, "Shit, so it really is you, the asshole. No need to search high and low – it turns out to be so effortless. Is Qiao Yuchan, the heavenly beauty, someone a country bumpkin like you could covet?"
With these words, Ling Fan understood – he had encountered a romantic rival. Having an outstanding woman was not such a good thing after all; it could inadvertently bring about trouble!
Long Tianyu, who was initially feeling upset, finally brightened up, his eyes filled with excitement as he looked at Ling Fan, realizing that this youngster was Young Master Duan's romantic rival.
Previously, he was worried that Young Master Duan would not put in his full effort. Now it seemed he had been overly concerned; Young Master Duan flew into a rage today. How could this country bumpkin survive?
Tan Hao and the others felt as if they were on a roller coaster. After all that commotion, it turns out these two had a feud!
Sang Zhigang stood not far away, silent. Today's events had far exceeded his expectations. That young man with Young Master Long turned out to be from Zhongnan!
For someone to be treated so cautiously by Young Master Long, his status in Zhongnan must be incredibly high, at least much higher than that of the Long Family in the Secular World.
At this moment, he felt somewhat unsure, which was unlike his usual decisiveness.
Kern and Linda looked at each other, not expecting such a situation.
"Young Master Duan! I want him dead immediately!" The young man enunciated each word with gritted teeth as he spoke again.
The gray-haired elder immediately responded with a bow, accepting the command!
Ling Fan scanned the young man and mused, "Are you from the third Noble House of Heavenly Vein, the Duan Family?"
During his time with the Qiao Family of Zhongnan, he had learned some basic information about Heavenly Vein from Qiao Yuchan. Having just heard Long Tianyu call this person Young Master Duan, and knowing this fellow was also a suitor of Qiao Yuchan, he made such a guess.
Without waiting for the young man to speak, Long Tianyu lying on the side could not help but burst into laughter, "Hahaha... cough cough... You actually know about the Duan Family of Heavenly Vein?"
The hesitant look on Ling Fan, in the eyes of Long Tianyu, clearly meant he was scared, frightened, leading to a sense of exhilaration within him.@@novelbin@@
He continued, "That's right, this is Duan Chun, the Second Young Master Duan from the third Noble House of Heavenly Vein. What, now you know fear, huh?
"You're utterly bold, daring to covet my brother's woman and even the woman Young Master Duan has taken a liking to. You bastard, who gave you the courage?"
The information conveyed by Long Tianyu's words immediately made the onlookers look at each other in disbelief, realizing that this Duan Chun was indeed the Second Young Master of the Zhongnan Duan Family.
Although the Zhongnan Clans were forbidden from establishing Martial Associations in Central Sea, and few had seen martial artists from Zhongnan, many present today were somewhat familiar with Zhongnan.
"Holy shit, he's actually the Second Young Master Duan from the third Noble House of Heavenly Vein, Jesus, this is terrifying. That kid is really screwed now," someone couldn't help but mutter.
Zhongnan was not a place that could be mentioned in the same breath as the Secular World, especially when it came to the third Noble House of Heavenly Vein. In the Martial Arts World, it was akin to the status of the Long Family in the Secular World, and even stronger by more than just one level.
This time, everyone completely lost faith in Ling Fan's chance of winning.
Even Xiao Chubing and the others looked nervous, as ignorant as they were, they still understood the power and dangers associated with Young Master Duan and the Duan Family.
They hadn't actually witnessed the events at Starlight Coast and couldn't imagine just how powerful Ling Fan was; they simply worried instinctively that Ling Fan might not be a match and would suffer a loss!
"Hahaha, the heavens have eyes, indeed. It's said that one can defy heavenly misfortune, but when one brings calamity upon oneself, there is no way to live. Boy, I didn't expect someone to come for you so soon!" Tan Hao couldn't help but burst into laughter, as he had been feeling unbearably repressed moments before.
"Damn it, daring to break my limbs, I want to personally watch you get bloodied right here, watch your woman endure utmost humiliation!" Tan Tianlei also couldn't help but release his suppressed emotions, cursing with gritted teeth.
This time, the only one who had learned his lesson was Xu Sicong, who felt excited and thrilled inside, yet his face remained calm and undisturbed.
"Damn it, this guy has a malign air about him; I must restrain myself. As long as that kid's head hasn't fallen to the ground for even a moment, I can't risk making another impulsive comment!" Xu Sicong quietly mused to himself.
What do you think?
