Chapter 1654: Chapter 1654: Brother-in-Law Drops by for Dinner

Zhao Zongsheng was ecstatic.

It seemed he could already picture, at the Martial Arts tournament three months later, his father displaying his prowess, astonishing the audience, and becoming the object of universal admiration and reverence, with him, as his son, becoming the envy of countless people.

Heroic Mountain, Zhengyang Sect, Zhanfeng Pavilion... all the sects that have been defiant to the Zhao Family over the years would all bow down in submission!

At that time, how glorious will the Zhao Family be?

Under his father’s leadership, how unprecedented heights will the Zhao Family reach again?

Just thinking about it, Zhao Zongsheng was already so exhilarated that he almost lost composure, eager to cheer.

Yet Zhao Xunjian looked at the flushed face of Zhao Zongsheng, who was sitting restlessly in excitement, and frowned: "How can you be so impatient. Where is your dignity?"

Zhao Zongsheng was taken aback and hurriedly regained his composure.

Striving to calm his emotions, Zhao Zongsheng bowed his head, saying, "It’s because I’m too immature. I hope father won’t be angry. I will definitely keep this matter confidential, and before the Martial Arts tournament, not a second person will know!"

Zhao Xunjian nodded, saying nothing more.

The fact that he was going to become a Qi Gong Master couldn’t be publicized, on one hand, it was to display prowess at the Martial Arts tournament for the best effect, and on the other hand, it was crucial.

While the Qi Gong Master is indeed peerless and strong beyond compare, the process of entering this realm is extremely vulnerable to disturbance, even life-threatening.

If before Zhao Xunjian’s breakthrough the news got out, the likes of Zhengyang Sect and Heroic Mountain would not allow him peace.

Those sects who have always been defiant to the Zhao Family will surely be desperate and instigate a war comparable to the massive one from over a decade ago, which for the Martial Arts world and all sects would be disastrous.

Blatant attacks and hidden schemes, impossible to guard against!

"Whew—"

Zhao Xunjian exhaled softly, his deep eyes revealing a cold gleam: "As the ancients said, those who achieve greatness do not dwell on trivialities. Today, enduring that Ye Xuan and Qin Yitian is merely for more distant well-being.

When I become a Qi Gong Master, no matter how illustrious they are, dealing with them will be a matter of a mere few moves!"

Zhao Zongsheng nodded deeply: "Father’s words are truly profound!"

Zhao Xunjian waved his hand: "Go out."

Zhao Zongsheng retreated three steps before turning to exit the study.

Bang!

As the door closed, Zhao Zongsheng suddenly halted, as if he remembered something.

That’s it!

His father knew it would be difficult to defeat Qin Yitian, especially with Ye Xuan in the East Sea, yet still sent him on this mission. Could it be his father feared losing this son?

The father does not fear!

In his father’s world, all that mattered was sending out his only son, so everyone would believe Zhao Xunjian had serious concerns about Qin Yitian, that’s what he wanted, and everything else was unimportant.

"A tiger, cruel as it is, does not eat its cubs, cruel as a tiger, does not eat its cubs!"

Zhao Zongsheng painfully closed his eyes, all previous joy disappeared, suddenly, seeing something clearly.

Pitifully, he wasn’t even surprised.

...

East Sea.

The beautiful dusk, a gathering of beauties.

Looking at the one, two, three, four, five peerless beauties before him, Ye Xuan only felt a swirl of dizziness and couldn’t be happy.

To say such a harem life was what Ye Xuan had always longed for before, but among the beauties emerged a devil!

Xiao Zhiqing, you’re here to join meals again? Just how many times has it been?

A fine gourmet dinner, tasteless to eat, a pity to discard!

"Sigh!"

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but sigh, feeling quite helpless.

"Why are you sighing, idol? I’m at your home for a meal, aren’t you happy?" the attentive Xiao Zhiqing asked, blinking her lovely big eyes.

"Of course not, we’re all happy when you come to my house for dinner, can’t you see?" Ye Xuan forced a smile.

No choice because his wife had ordered him strictly; until the new commercial was done, he must be nice to Xiao Zhiqing, can’t bully her, and had to humor her.

There’s no end to the agony of saying too much!

"Oh, that’s good, haha, everyone happy then I’m happy, let’s eat, idol your cooking is really delicious!" Xiao Zhiqing joyfully smiled, not thinking much.

Ye Xuan detested her naive innocence.

The more such times came, the more Ye Xuan missed his brother-in-law; wasn’t it because of a call from him a few days ago that he got a chance to escape the misery?

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

Ye Xuan’s brow raised.

"I’ll go!"

Xiao Zhiqing, playing host, eagerly jumped up, running in her cute and pretty plush slippers toward the door.

Ye Xuan didn’t feel great at all, Xiao Zhiqing, you’ve yet to become one of my Ye Family’s women!

However, Lin Tong and the others didn’t seem much affected, continuing to eat, as if nothing happened.

Ye Xuan was even more upset, my wives, I can still be saved, please don’t give up on me like this!

Ye Xuan felt like crying but had no tears, extremely saddened.

At this time, the voice of hope rang out: "Ye Xuan, Qiuge, Xiao Tong! Hahaha, I came over for dinner!"

The sound came from outside the door.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan was greatly delighted!

Oh brother-in-law, you finally came!

While Lin Tong and Leng Qiuge both were taken aback at hearing this voice, it was curious they didn’t know yet when Leng Qiufeng arrived at the East Sea.

Soon enough, Leng Qiufeng appeared before everyone, well-groomed, looking dashing.

"Brother-in-law, you mentioned coming to join us for dinner, why only today?" Ye Xuan quickly stood, welcoming him, and while getting close to Leng Qiufeng, seized the moment when others weren’t paying attention to whisper: "Brother-in-law, find a way to take me away, I’ll give you three packs of cigarettes for free!"

"Hm?"

Upon hearing this, Leng Qiufeng’s eyes immediately brightened.

Three packs of cigarettes?

It’s that rare type, so hard to obtain, he’s ever only seen it on Ye Xuan.

Brother-in-law, you’re too generous, for you I, Leng Qiufeng, would do anything!

Swayed by extreme temptation, Leng Qiufeng couldn’t care less about why Ye Xuan wanted to run away, without much thought, he conveyed a message with a glance to Ye Xuan.

Deal!

Meanwhile, Lin Tong and Leng Qiuge had already returned to their senses.

"Leng Qiufeng, why did you come to the East Sea? Crazy, who’s telling you to come over here?" Leng Qiuge spoke out in annoyance, she didn’t like Leng Qiufeng as it turned out.

Leng Qiufeng didn’t like being misunderstood: "Qiuge, mind your words, I’m your real brother!"

"To hell with your real brother, I don’t have such a silly brother," Leng Qiuge remarked unkindly.

Leng Qiufeng: "..."

Awkward!

In comparison, Lin Tong was much more polite: "So it’s Brother Leng, if you were to come over for dinner, why didn’t you let us know earlier?"

"Uh..."

Leng Qiufeng glanced away, thought of the three packs of cigarettes, gave up on wanting dinner, and with a smile said: "Xiao Tong, did you really think I came for leftovers? Already dined, hahaha, here to take Ye Xuan away!"
