Chapter 521: News of Qianqian!
In contrast to the shock in China and the outside world, a dark storm was brewing within Korea.
When Yins.h.i.+ died in battle and nearly a hundred experts from the cultivation world of Korea died in Mad Southern Ye’s hands, all the remaining cultivators in Korea subconsciously refused to believe it.
After all, Mad Southern Ye had killed over a hundred experts, not a hundred pigs. Even if there were a hundred pigs lined up for Mad Southern Ye to kill, it would take some time and effort, right?
However, when they received news from all directions, they had no choice but to accept this reality, and what followed was the fury of all the cultivators of Korea.
“Mad Southern Ye is way too arrogant. He treats Korea as if we were nothing. He even almost destroyed the cultivation world of Korea. He’s not human if he doesn’t take revenge!”
“Mad Southern Ye alone suppressed the cultivation world of Korea. This time, Korea will become the laughing stock of the world!”
“That’s right. A life for a life. We can’t let them leave Korea alive. Everyone, use your connections. We must get the parliament to judge Mad Southern Ye!”
“…”
At that moment, the Korean forum was in an uproar. The public’s resentment was boiling. Countless cultivators from Korea even held banners to show their might on the streets of Korea. The banner was basically asking for Mad Southern Ye’s death.
Ever since the Kim family had almost been wiped out, only the Lee family and the Han family remained in Korea. However, at this moment, the expressions of the two n.o.ble families were uncertain, and the two families were arguing endlessly at the gathering point.
The Han family’s current family head, Han Wencong, raised his hand to signal for everyone to quiet down. Then, he looked at the Lee family’s family head, Lee Puyi, with a sullen expression. “Brother Lee, what do you think we should do now?”
His hands were shaking when he said that.
The patriarchs of the two n.o.ble families, the Han family and the Lee family, were killed by Mad Southern Ye in one single blow. Countless elite forces were either dead or injured. Right now, the two so-called n.o.ble families were just empty sh.e.l.ls.
“What else can we do? Master, of course we’re asking the parliament to issue a military ruling on Mad Southern Ye,” someone from the Han family said indignantly.
The other person stood out as well. His eyes were red. “That’s right. We should request the parliament to send out armed forces. No matter how powerful Mad Southern Ye is, he’s still a human. How can he fight against a country all by himself? How can he withstand missiles?”
“Well said!”
“…”
His words were immediately echoed by the crowd, and for a moment, the entire hall was in an uproar again.
“Silence!”
The head of the Lee family, Lee Puyi, berated him heavily. He then said with a cold smile, “Requesting the parliament to judge Mad Southern Ye? Are you trying to escalate the conflict to that extent? Don’t forget that the battle between Yins.h.i.+ and Mad Southern Ye was carried out in front of the experts from all over the world. The parliament has tacitly agreed to it. China hasn’t expressed their stance either. It can be said to be fair.”
Many of the older generation nodded in agreement.
The decisive battle between the two countries had been tacitly approved by the two countries, and there were many outsiders who had witnessed it. If Korea went back on their word, wouldn’t it be equivalent to slapping their own faces? They would only become a laughing stock, and outsiders would say that they couldn’t afford to lose.
Moreover, the Han family’s patriarch, the Lee family’s patriarch, and the rest wanted to kill Mad Southern Ye afterward. That was why they were killed in the end. Since they were the one who had announced their intention to kill him after the battle in the first place, wouldn’t it be the most reasonable thing to fight back?
Most importantly, if the parliament were to issue a military ruling on Mad Southern Ye, how much military power would be needed to stop him? How much armed technology would be needed for a division or an army?
It was rumored that Mad Southern Ye could fight a wars.h.i.+p with a sword. How would you know if he would catch a missile with his bare hands? If he really caught it and threw it to any part of Korea, many people would die.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Korea planned to kill Mad Southern Ye at all costs, there would definitely be nothing left inside. Who could guarantee that the surrounding countries who were spying on Korea would not take any action?
Especially when facing the wrath of China!
“That’s right!”
Han Wenbin agreed with Lee Puyi’s words. He said in a deep voice, “Right now, our Han family’s patriarch, and the Li family’s patriarch, is dead. We’ve lost the patriarch’s protection. Our situation is very bad. If we use our trump cards against Mad Southern Ye, we’re not far from being annexed.”
Lee Puyi’s eyes kept flickering.
Although most of the elites in Korea were killed by Mad Southern Ye, a portion of the people who did not watch the battle survived. Who knew if these people would take advantage of the two n.o.ble families during their times of struggle?
The dead were gone. The most important thing was how to survive. Hence, the Han family and the Lee family’s biggest problem was how to protect themselves.
This was a clan society!
Very realistic, everything was based on benefits!
Some people were indignant. “Are we letting Mad Southern Ye off just like that?”
“Let him go?”
Han Wenbin scoffed immediately. Coldness flashed through his eyes. “Not only did Mad Southern Ye kill countless people in Korea, but he also killed many experts from many countries. His action is equivalent to offending countless experts directly. Do you think they’ll let it go?”
…
While everyone was discussing Mad Southern Ye non-stop, Ye Chen, who was the main character, appeared in a luxurious villa.
Chi Wanqing, who was dressed in a plain dress, was standing at the side with her head lowered. Her fingers were tightly clasped together, and she did not dare to look at Ye Chen. She was like a child who had made a mistake and felt guilty and uneasy.
Ye Chen took a sip of the black tea in his cup and frowned. “Are you saying that you adopted Qian Qian a long time ago and she was taken away this morning?”
He had never expected that the Qian Qian whom he had spent so much effort looking for was adopted by Chi Wanqing. He did not even realize it when Chi Wanqing was with him that day.
Fate made fools of people.
“Yes… Yes!”
Chi Wanqing lowered her head even more. If one took a closer look, they would notice that her soft body was trembling slightly.
After all, she was the one who lied to Ye Chen. After witnessing Ye Chen killing Kin Wenjie, she was afraid that Ye Chen would kill her in anger.
“Why didn’t you tell me when I was at the hotel with you yesterday? Why did you only tell me now?” Ye Chen looked at her with scrutiny.
If Chi Wanqing had told him about Qian Qian’s whereabouts early in the morning, he would have been able to come and get Qian Qian earlier, and nothing would have happened to the little girl.
Chi Wanqing clenched her fists tightly and mustered her courage to look at him. She stammered, “At first… I thought you were a bad person. I was afraid… afraid that you would hurt Qian Qian.”
When she said that, a look of shame flashed across her face. “Later, I… I asked Qian Qian before I… I found out that you’re the big brother who adopted her. Mr. Ye, I misunderstood you. I’m… I’m sorry!”
“Who attacked you guys last night? And who took Qian Qian away?” Ye Chen came to a realization, and the anger he felt toward her lessened.
“I… I don’t know. I planned to contact you last night to tell you that Qian Qian was at my place, but I fainted.”
Chi Wanqing shook her head slightly. She tried her best to recall something, but she could not remember anything. “But the person who took Qian Qian away was a young man with white hair, just like you… Mr. Ye?”
