Free Web NovelChapter 1664: Chapter 1664: Booking a Ticket to Japan
"Mr. Ye Xuan, I’m begging you, please take me to the Northern Federation to save my sister!" Chiba Kenichi’s face was covered in tears as he kowtowed to Ye Xuan over and over, pleading.
Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan’s heart skipped a beat, and he instantly realized how serious this was.
Of course, Ye Xuan wasn’t like the childish Chiba Kenichi; even at a time like this, he still kept a cool enough head.
He frowned and said in a deep voice, "The moment something happens, you panic and lose your composure first—what kind of style is that? Stand up!"
Startled awake by this thunderous shout, Chiba Kenichi finally came back to his senses. He didn’t dare disobey, hurriedly wiped his tears and stood up.
Ye Xuan exhaled, then asked, "What happened? Tell me slowly."
"Okay, I’ll tell you slowly, I’ll tell you slowly."
Chiba Kenichi tried his best to calm down, taking several deep breaths before he finally began to recount, "The one who just called me is my father’s old friend from when he was alive. He used to be a member of the Sword God Association too, but he retired a few years ago because of his age.
He said that after my sister returned to the Northern Federation some time ago, when she was taking over the Sword God Association, she ran into the betrayal of the Association’s vice president, Du Bianhong.
When my father was alive, he trusted Du Bianhong deeply. Most of the Sword God Association’s affairs were handed over to him. But no one expected that Du Bianhong was a wolf in human skin!
When my father came to Yan Country, he’d already started laying out his plans inside the Sword God Association, pulling people to his side, preparing to usurp power.
As a result, when Father fell in Yan Country, that must have given him even more confidence. Those ungrateful bastards in the Sword God Association, without Father’s pressure, also started acting recklessly.
The night my sister went back to take over the Sword God Association, she was ambushed by Du Bianhong and almost died on the spot!"
Ye Xuan was stunned when he heard this.
He had thought that with Chiba Sakurako being a junior, going back to take charge of the Sword God Association left behind by the Sword God, things would definitely be extremely difficult and many people would be unconvinced.
He hadn’t expected that the Sword God Association, which claimed to put righteousness first, would actually be so hypocritical—Sword God had just barely fallen, and they were already baring such ferocious fangs at Chiba Sakurako.
Obviously, those people hadn’t spared a single thought for their old ties with the Sword God, which is why they were so eager to make a move against Chiba Sakurako.
Chiba Sakurako was all alone—how could she not be in danger?
Ye Xuan hurriedly asked, "How is your sister now?"
"I don’t know."
Chiba Kenichi said worriedly, "According to the news coming from the Northern Federation, after my sister was ambushed that night, she escaped from the Sword God Association badly injured, and then disappeared. Now the whole Sword God Association is practically scouring everywhere looking for her, and they’ve even pinned the crime of patricide on her!"
"Patricide?" Ye Xuan was taken aback.
"Yes!" Chiba Kenichi said through gritted teeth, "That beast Du Bianhong, in order to justify his usurpation, framed my sister, saying the reason Father fell to you was entirely because my sister was bewitched by you and secretly poisoned him before the duel!
In the Martial Arts world of the Northern Federation, my father is a god. Almost no one believes he would lose to you, so this bucket of filth Du Bianhong splashed out sounds extremely convincing to those who don’t know the truth!
With Du Bianhong running so rampant, no one in the Sword God Association is willing to help my sister. They’re probably convinced by this story as well!"
"No."
Ye Xuan shook his head and let out a cold laugh. "It’s not that they believe it. They’re just pretending to believe it so they can do what they want to do."
Chiba Kenichi was stunned.
Ye Xuan explained, "Your sister is extraordinarily gifted, honored as the goddess of the Northern Federation. How could the people of the Sword God Association not know what kind of person she is?
That Du Bianhong you mentioned, no matter how pretty a story he spins, the number of people in the Sword God Association who truly believe it is probably very few. Everyone is just turning a blind eye, that’s all." frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
"This..."
Chiba Kenichi’s pupils shrank, then he flew into a rage. "Right, Mr. Ye Xuan is right, it has to be like that. Everyone in the Northern Federation knows what kind of person my sister is... Bastards, they’re all bastards, I’m going to kill them all!"
"Kill them all?" Ye Xuan chuckled. "With just you?"
"I..."
Chiba Kenichi instantly felt stifled, clenching his fists tight, extremely unconvinced and hating his own uselessness.
He really was too weak—so weak that even if his Killing Aura pierced the heavens, once he went to the Northern Federation right now, he’d probably only end up like an ant being seized by Du Bianhong and used as leverage to force Chiba Sakurako to show herself.
Not only would he be unable to save his sister, he’d instead become a massive burden!
The greatest helplessness in this world is nothing more than having the will but not the strength...
Chiba Kenichi looked at Ye Xuan in supplication, choking up as he said, "Mr. Ye Xuan, I know this isn’t your responsibility, but I still beg you, please make a trip to the Northern Federation to save my sister.
Only you can save her, and only you... would be willing to help us at a time like this."
"Your sister and I can be considered friends, and before she went back, I also promised her that if something happened, she just needed to let me know." Ye Xuan waved his hand. "In a bit I’ll go to the Northern Federation, but if you want me to save your sister, you have to agree to one condition."
"Just say it!" Chiba Kenichi replied without hesitation, "As long as my sister can be saved, I’ll agree to anything!"
Ye Xuan nodded. "Don’t come with me to the Northern Federation."
Chiba Kenichi: "..." freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Ye Xuan stood up and looked deeply at Chiba Kenichi. "It’s not that I don’t want to take you. It’s that you really are a burden."
Chiba Kenichi: "..."
His heart hurt so much...
"From now on, you just stay here properly. I’ll have someone come and train you."
Ye Xuan waved his hand, turned, and walked out of the courtyard, taking out his phone as he went and calling Lin Tong. "Wifey, help me book a ticket to the Northern Federation, the earliest flight you can find."
Chiba Kenichi was very moved. At this moment, that thin back of Ye Xuan’s looked to him as towering and majestic as his father’s.
Ye Xuan then made another call. "Come over to the courtyard at No. 103, Liyang Street. There’s a brat from the Northern Federation living here. When you see him, don’t waste words, just beat him hard—just don’t kill him.
Ten times a day, not one less.
That’s your job for the next few days."
Chiba Kenichi’s whole body erupted in goosebumps. Before today, it had only been five times...
It had to be said, when it came to doing things other than her main work, Lin Tong’s efficiency was really high.
Right after that call, Ye Xuan went straight toward the airport.
He hadn’t even reached the airport yet when Lin Tong called back to say the ticket was already booked, and the flight was in an hour.
Ye Xuan couldn’t help praising, "Wifey, you’re amazing, mua!"
After taking that barrage of air kisses from Ye Xuan, Lin Tong on the other end couldn’t help blushing, her mood also very complicated. In the past, who could have imagined that she, Lin Tong, would one day end up in a role akin to Ye Xuan’s assistant?
Even more unimaginable was that this was all she could do for Ye Xuan—these little things.
Sigh!
Lin Tong secretly let out a sigh. How she wished she could be like Chi Lian—leaping over walls with Supreme Martial Arts!
If that were the case, she definitely wouldn’t feel so helpless.
