Xu Lele’s bold move shocked Ye Ming immensely.
Feeling the soft touch of her tongue, Ye Ming instinctively extended his hand and unconsciously wrapped it around Xu Lele’s waist.
After a long embrace, the two reluctantly parted.
Xu Lele’s face was already flushed red, and Ye Ming’s heartbeat had quickened as well.
This was the first time both had tried such a move, and although it was somewhat awkward, their feelings for each other were the same.
After they parted, the two looked at each other with affectionate gazes, their hearts filled with love.
"Uh... Le Le, actually, before I..."
Ye Ming suddenly remembered what Xu Lele had said earlier, and with an embarrassed expression, he tried to explain to Xu Lele but couldn’t think of a good way to do so.
Xu Lele gave a gentle smile, not minding at all, and even placed a finger on Ye Ming’s lips, whispering softly, "There’s no need to explain, I’m not so petty!"
"Besides, it was me who said it in the first place, I even wanted Xia Ningning to live with us. I have to take responsibility for my own words, and, we also had a bet before, I..."
While speaking, Xu Lele suddenly felt her face turning red, and she hurriedly stopped, changing the subject, "Anyway, as long as you’re safe, that’s good enough, at least we can still stand together now!"
Ye Ming nodded, his heart overflowing with tenderness.
Recalling the recent events, Ye Ming also felt a moment of fear; if anything had gone slightly wrong, the two of them might have been parted by life and death, which was a terrifying thought for him.
While the two were talking, suddenly, the roaring sound of an engine came.
Turning their heads, they saw it was Xia Ningning who had rushed over in her car.
Upon receiving the news, she had sped over without stopping. After getting out of the car, her face was somber, as if facing a great enemy.
"Are you both okay?"
Xia Ningning looked at Xu Lele and Ye Ming with concern and only relaxed after seeing that they were both unharmed.
However, seeing the intimate way Ye Ming and Xu Lele stood together, as well as their blushing faces, Xia Ningning suddenly felt a strange sensation in her heart.
But under the current circumstances, she didn’t allow herself to be distracted by wild thoughts.
"Ningning, we’re all right!" Xu Lele said.
Then, under Xu Lele’s narration, Xia Ningning understood the situation at the scene and was extremely shocked.
She had warned Ye Ming before, knowing the Martial Artist Association would definitely come to trouble him, but she could never have imagined the trouble would be so great.
All the main members of the Martial Artist Association had been dealt with by Ye Ming, leaving only an insignificant vice president who was dispensable. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Xia Ningning took control of the scene, made a phone call, and then gathered a few more cars.
After her subordinates arrived, Xia Ningning immediately gave orders.
"Immediately seal off all information! We can’t let this get out!"
After giving her instructions, Xia Ningning approached Ye Ming and Xu Lele and said, "Le Le, Ye Ming, and Uncle Xu, you better leave the scene quickly. If possible, it’s best not to go out these next few days."
After sorting out these matters, Xia Ningning still felt somewhat uneasy and called her father to seek help.
Despite Xia Ningning’s efforts and rapid response, the news still spread quickly.
The entire Yanjing Martial Artist Association was decimated, the incident was too significant, and even with the Xia Family risking it all and pulling every string they could, they were unable to completely contain the news.
However, Ye Ming’s name wasn’t mentioned amongst the spread news.
People only knew that a very powerful expert had emerged in Yanjing, who alone had stormed into the Martial Artist Association and caused havoc.
The only surviving vice president, Wang Chao, already left with a deep psychological shadow by Ye Ming, began feigning madness and acting the fool to avoid the outside world’s questioning, answering everything with three words, "I don’t know."
The more he feigned madness and played the fool, the more suspicious the people of Yanjing became of the incident.
The conduct of the Jiang family and their son was already despised by many; their deaths didn’t arouse much anger, but rather led people to speculate about the origins of this peerless master.
If it really was a peerless master, they wouldn’t mind making his acquaintance, perhaps even establishing some rapport.
Chuzhou, Martial Artist Association Headquarter.
In a quiet training room, a middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged, meditating.
He had handsome features and an extraordinary demeanor, sitting on a cushion like a statue, wholly immersed in his cultivation.
Suddenly, a subordinate rushed in, filled with panic, and said, "President, there’s been an incident in Yanjing. Jiang Long and his son have been killed, and not a single enforcer from the Yanjing Martial Arts Association survived!"
"Only Vice President Wang Chao is left, and he has become an imbecile; he won’t say anything no matter what you ask him."
The middle-aged man opened his eyes, releasing a burst of killing intent.
"Who dares to be so bold? To take action within our Martial Artist Association and even kill a branch president? Could it be a foreign force?"
He surmised that a regular martial artist wouldn’t have the courage or the strength for this; he guessed that it must have been a planned operation by some group or organization.
The subordinate spoke with trembling fear, "It’s not that, sir. It’s said to be a young man."
The middle-aged man furrowed his brow and asked, "Anything else?"
The subordinate carefully said, "Just one person!"
"What?" The always composed face of the middle-aged man finally changed. "A single person? A young man? Is it really just one person?"
The subordinate too found it hard to believe, but that was indeed the truth.
"Is the world about to change?" The middle-aged man’s intense aura of killing intent grew stronger. "The only person in the world capable of this would be Chu Heng, but he has already reached enlightenment and retired to enjoy his remaining years. Could it be that another genius has appeared within Yanjing’s territory?"
"Where is the surveillance footage from the scene? Show it to me; I want to see what this genius looks like!"
The subordinate’s face once again showed embarrassment as he stammered, "President, I’ve already sent someone to check, but all the surveillance footage from the scene has been stolen, not a single second was left for us."
With a bang, the middle-aged man smashed the cup in front of him, outraged, he said, "Well then, all this was planned, it can’t be a coincidence!"
"Find out right now, whether he’s the second Chu Heng or not, if he has provoked our Martial Artist Association, he will pay a severe price!"
"I want him to know that there are some things in this world that you simply cannot touch, not even at the cost of your life!"
