Chapter 1705 — Are You Toying With Me?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
So as Chen Kuanglan tallied up miracle after miracle in his mind, he felt as though he had swallowed a stimulant. He suddenly came alive, sweeping away all the gloom and oppression that had weighed on him! And he had made up his mind: since his grandson was so full of confidence, he would join him in this madness just once. The Chen family was as good as finished anyway — perhaps, with Wei Zhao's help, his grandson could turn the tide!
The transformation in Chen Kuanglan made Yu Shuixing pause. And in fact, if Chen Kuanglan had said nothing, it would have been better; saying what he did actually settled Yu Shuixing's mind! He might be younger than Chen Kuanglan, but his eye was shrewd and sharp, and at a glance he had spotted that hidden worry and final desperation in Chen Kuanglan's eyes.
By the look of it, the old thing was quite anxious indeed. And this whole spectacle Chen Yuxuan had put on today — Chen Kuanglan surely knew nothing about it! Which meant that Chen Yuxuan was acting entirely on his own. Otherwise, Chen Kuanglan wouldn't be wearing that expression now.
And as a further step back — if the Chen family had really made preparations in advance, then Chen Kuanglan would not have initially been driven by him into such helpless desperation that he was on the verge of a meltdown!
That being the case, what was there to fear? Most likely Chen Yuxuan himself simply refused to accept it, acted on hot impulse, and came for revenge the moment he recovered. Or perhaps he had learned a few hidden tricks from Wei Zhao, thought himself terribly formidable, and decided to challenge Yu Feng and reclaim his lost face!
Because, in Yu Shuixing's eyes, if Chen Yuxuan truly had absolute certainty, then Chen Kuanglan could not have been unaware of it beforehand, and the Chen family would not possibly be so passive this time!
Of course, that was merely the thinking of ordinary men. Yu Shuixing overlooked a deeper intention behind this whole affair: Wei Zhao's aim was to wipe out their Yu family entirely! Chen Yuxuan's settling of scores with Yu Feng was no more than a prelude, a warm-up, so to speak. The real show was yet to come!
But this was something Yu Shuixing could never have imagined. How could it possibly occur to him that Wei Zhao had already become an Earth Rank practitioner?
"Of course not. I merely have a few things to make clear!" Yu Shuixing glanced at Chen Kuanglan and said calmly, "Before the challenge begins, the rules of the challenge platform — the head of the Chen family surely understands them? Life and death are left to heaven, and no one may be held accountable afterward?"
"That... that is of course so!" Chen Kuanglan was made a little uneasy again by Yu Shuixing's words, but he still blustered on: "Is there any need to say it? We are all children of great families. These things are common knowledge, and Yutian knows them as well!"
"Good, then! Xiao Feng, do not hold anything back — beware he plays some dirty trick on you!" Yu Shuixing nodded, a hint for Yu Feng. In truth, he meant for Yu Feng to strike a fatal blow the moment he stepped up, leaving Chen Yuxuan with no chance to turn things around!
And Yu Shuixing had also caught that flicker and that worry in Chen Kuanglan's eyes a moment ago, which set his mind even more at ease. It seemed Chen Kuanglan too had no confidence in Chen Yuxuan.
I really was worrying over nothing, thinking too much, Yu Shuixing thought to himself.
"No problem! Chen Yuxuan, I failed to kill you last time, but this time I will not hold back. Since you've come, you had better be prepared to die!" With that, Yu Feng turned his hands into palms and swung them at Chen Yuxuan!
