Chapter 998 (Meeting with Enemies)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

In front, Huang Yun walked slightly ahead, followed by Qian Yi on his left, and Qian Yuqing on his right.

Today, Qian Yuqing looked extremely beautiful, similar to Qing Ya and the others, breathtakingly stunning. She wore a festive red robe adorned with exquisite patterns, complementing Huang Yun's attire. Both dressed this way, the intention was clear—they were an engaged couple.

Huang Yun's mood today was exceptionally pleasant. The woman in his heart was finally his.

Even if Ye Hua came back, so what? If his father wanted him dead, he would have to die!

As for Qian Yuqing, with a single word from his father, she would become his.

'No matter how impressive you are, Ye Hua, what you lack is a father with overwhelming power!'

'And I, Huang Yun, have such a father. You will be overshadowed for the rest of your life!'

Of course, Qian Yuqing also noticed Ye Hua. She lowered her head slightly, as if afraid to meet Ye Hua's gaze, like a child who had done something wrong.

However, in her heart, she thought, 'since Ye Hua wants to protect me, I can't make him worry.'

'Moreover, Ye Hua must have a way to free me from this constraint. I just need to be obedient and not disrupt Ye Hua's plans.'

Ye Yuanqing looked towards Huang Yun and her sister-in-law.

There was a hint of shock in her gaze. 'What's wrong with my sister-in-law?'

She appeared to be feeling guilty towards Ye Hua, like a child who had done something wrong. What was going on?

'Could it be that my sister-in-law willingly married Huang Yun? That's impossible!'

'My sister-in-law is not that kind of person.'

Huang Yun and Qian Yi were both sizing up Ye Hua. Huang Yun seemed calm; 'now that your woman is by my side, what can you do?'

Qian Yi's gaze was different. After all, he used to be his son-in-law, and they used to have a good relationship.

But now, Ye Hua made Qian Yi feel very different from before.

Although his demeanour was similar, Qian Yi felt that this Ye Hua was more decisive compared to before.

Before, Ye Hua was a bit wishy-washy, which was his biggest flaw.

Ye Hua also looked at the three of them, but he wasn't focusing on Huang Yun!

Nor was it Qian Yuqing!

It was Qian Yi!

Ye Hua found it amusing. Meeting enemies in this situation!

'The ears of this man were the ones I cut off back then. I didn't expect to meet him in such a situation! This can be considered the first appearance of an enemy. Should I just kill him straightforwardly?'

"Prince Ye!" Huang Yun greeted with a smile, even bowing slightly.

Considering their seniority and positions, it was normal for Huang Yun to bow.

Ye Hua looked at Huang Yun in front of him and sensed him as a worthy opponent. Despite the strained relationship between them, Huang Yun still came to greet him. Such people were not uncommon, and these kinds of opponents added some flavour to the situation.

'Who's stronger, you or your old man?'

"It turns out to be the Ninth Prince," Ye Hua said indifferently.

Huang Yun was in a great mood at the moment and started introducing, "Prince Ye, this is Qian Yuqing, my fiancée. We'll have a grand wedding in a few days. Yuqing, pay your respects."

Qian Yuqing pursed her lips and slightly inclined her body, "Prince Ye."

For some reason, when Huang Yun heard Qian Yuqing address Ye Hua as "Prince Ye," he felt unusually pleased, as if he had won against Ye Hua. Moreover, it was winning over a woman.

Ye Hua coldly watched Qian Yuqing, and Huang Yun found it even more satisfying. He felt exhilarated from head to toe, thinking, 'No matter how powerful you are, your woman will still end up sleeping with me. Hahaha!'

"Prince Ye, this is Mr. Qian, Yuqing's father," Huang Yun continued to introduce.

However, this introduction surprised Ye Hua a bit. He had just thought that Qian Yi was an outsider. Never would he have imagined that this enemy of his was actually Qian Yuqing's father! It became more interesting!

"Prince Ye!" Shan Junren approached with an amiable smile, accompanied by a young man.

This young man was Shan Junren's second son, Shan Yu.

Shan Yu had a dignified appearance, bright eyes like silver stars, and a tall figure.

Such a man should be a warrior on the battlefield, but judging from Shan Yu's official attire, he seemed to be a civil official.

It seemed he was following his father's path.

At this moment, Ye Yuanqing whispered to Ye Hua, "Big brother, this is Prime Minister Shan Junren. The one behind him is his son, Shan Yu."

Ye Hua suddenly revealed a faint smile, "Prime Minister Shan, it's been many years, and you still look the same as before."

Ye Hua's sudden change in attitude left everyone speechless. This shift was so swift that it didn't give people a chance to react. One moment it seemed like he considered everyone an enemy, and the next moment, he was smiling.

Damn! His change in demeanour is too fast, leaving no room for a reaction.

He even smiled at Shan Junren, knowing that in the past, Ye Hua was a general, and he and Prime Minister Shan had a very strained relationship. The opinions of civil and military officials were certainly quite divergent, leading to disputes. Their relationship had always been bad.

But now, it seems like he is encountering an old friend.

Shan Junren was a bit confused at this moment. What did Ye Hua mean? He was actually smiling at him? It seemed to have deep meaning. Moreover, Qian Yuqing was about to become someone else's wife, and he could still smile like this.

Was he pretending, or was it an act?

After all, the Emperor's intention was for Ye Hua to kidnap and marry Qian Yuqing, and then they could find an excuse to kill him.

Considering Ye Hua's character, he would definitely go to kidnap the bride, but what about now?

Shan Junren couldn't figure it out. He had never seen Ye Hua smile before, and he smiled so happily.

Shan Yu behind him was, of course, familiar with Ye Hua. He was puzzled by this version of Ye Hua. The one with a serious face seemed more comfortable.

Ye Hua just chuckled lightly and then restrained it. That was the normal expression.

The rest of the expressions were abnormal.

Even Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi would feel the same. The coquettish Ye Hua seemed like a lunatic, which was hard to accept.

"Prince Ye, I've already stepped into the coffin with one foot. Unlike you young people, in the future, the Spirit City will still need fresh blood like yours." Shan Junren tidied up his mood, smiling slightly. In fact, he was speaking for Huang Yun's sake. Without unexpected events, Huang Yun would be the ruler of the entire Spirit City after the abdication.

Huang Yun naturally understood the implications. After the Emperor's abdication, the throne would belong to him.

At this moment, Qian Yi smiled, "Prime Minister Shan is right. This world will always belong to the young people."

"Mr. Qian, I haven't properly congratulated you yet." Shan Junren smiled and clasped his hands.
