Chapter 54: Something Big Happened!
Translator:?EndlessFantasy Translation?Editor:?EndlessFantasy Translation
The bag was opened. Chu Shuran saw a bloody head.
She stepped back reflexively, trembling and covering her mouth in horror. Her eyes were filled with shock! Not because of fear but because she knew the head in the bag!
Yao Jingu!
It was actually Yao Jingu! Yao Jingu, the grandmaster of martial arts of Jiangnan Province! A master of the Golden Cloud Claw that was practically famous in the ancient martial world of Jiangnan Province!
She had even personally visited that person with her father one year ago in Bamboo Hill of Yunnan! Her father had told her then that the man was about to be solicited by a big family in Beijing and by then his fame would inevitably skyrocket!
Most vividly, a year ago, she had also witnessed with her own eyes the man severely wounding ten martial arts experts during a friendly match!
It was terrifying!
Yet now, it was the terrifyingly powerful Yao Jingu who had been killed! Even more so now that someone cut off his head and put it on the Ye family tombstone! As an offering!
Just who was it? Who had the power to behead a martial arts grandmaster!
Furthermore, she also noticed that Yao Jingu’s eyes were wide open as if he had seen something terrifying before he died!
Just what did he see before he died?
At this moment, even though Chu Shuran was mentally resilient, she had then felt a chill behind her!
There was an existence who could kill and behead a grandmaster. This was enough to shake the whole of River City and even the structure of Jiangnan Province!
Was River City going to change?
She then noticed the bloodstains on the Ye family’s tombstone! The blood was not completely dry which meant that the person had not walked too far away.
Why did that person want to leave Yao Jingu’s head on the Ye family’s tombstone?
“Ye family… Yao Jingu… Why must it be today… Could there be a connection…”
Chu Shuran’s eyes were full of unprecedented seriousness.
Suddenly, her pupils dilated! She had thought of an almost impossible possibility!
The only connection between the Ye family and Yao Jingu was the banquet at Cloud Lake Manor five years ago!
What was even weirder was that the tragedy of that banquet had happened five years ago today!
Connecting all this, it looked like revenge! Someone had sought revenge on Yao Jingu! For the Ye family that was destroyed Cloud Lake Manor five years ago! Not only that, but Chu Shuran also recalled the deaths of Chen Zhengguo and Chen Feng a few days ago! Their deaths were just as cruel!
No one knew who killed them.
Only that the two seemed to have seen something terrible before they died!
Chen Zhengguo, Chen Feng, and now Yao Jingu and the Ye family, their only connection was the banquet at Cloud Lake Manor five years ago!
At this moment, a stormy sea began to surge in the depths of Chu Shuran’s heart, a sense of death slowly crept into her thoughts.
This was a fear of the unknown.
The Chu family had also been at the banquet and who knew if the Chu family would follow the Chen family? Would she, Chu Shuran be the second Yao Jingu to be beheaded and sacrificed to the Ye family?
“Just who is it? Who would want to avenge the Ye family?”
…
Chu Shuran thought no more and immediately returned home, then having her subordinates investigate all the surveillance cameras around Sky Stone Mountain!
She would not be able to feel safe until she found the person behind these murders! This was a matter of life and death for the Chu family! Yet, something even weirder happened. All the surveillance data on Sky Stone Mountain that day had been wiped clean!
Even the traffic cameras five kilometers away had problems
Who had the means to control the entire surveillance system of River City? This was already the power to hide the truth from the masses!
Chu Shuran realized that the person behind these murders was like a ghost. There was no way to track them.
Her back was completely soaked. No longer hesitating, she picked up the phone and dialed a number. “Dad, it’s bad, something bad happened.”
...
Grand City Apartments.
Ye Chen and Sun Yi returned home.
Sun Yi forcibly dragged Ye Chen to the bathroom for a bath, then stood directly at the door and urged Ye Chen to lie down and sleep.
It was broad daylight, Ye Chen really could not sleep. Besides, as a cultivator, sleeping was optional for him.
Seeing Ye Chen refuse to sleep, Sun Yi worried in her heart. She thought Ye Chen was still thinking about his parents’ death.
It must have been a big blow to him. Had it been her, she might have already collapsed by now.
“Promise me that you’ll sleep for a while. You haven’t slept all day. From a medical standpoint, this is extremely detrimental to your body.” Sun Yi walked in and stood in front of Ye Chen, speaking softly.
In fact, she also had not slept for almost a whole night and she was a little sleepy now and even yawned.
Ye Chen was naturally aware of Sun Yi’s distress. This silly girl was probably feeling apprehensive the whole day from the night before. To a certain extent, all this was because of him. The point was that until now, Sun Yi has not asked about what happened last night. It seemed that she did not want to stress him.
Ye Chen hesitated for a few seconds, then compromised. “If you want me to sleep, sure, but you too must also lie down and sleep.”
As soon as Sun Yi heard it, she misunderstood. Thinking that Ye Chen wanted to sleep with her, her face instantly flushed and she then protested coquettishly, “Ye Chen, why do you have these bad thoughts all day long?”
Ye Chen’s face was puzzled. How could he have any bad intentions? He just wanted her to go back to the room to rest.
As he was getting ready to explain, Sun Yi bit her lip, appearing as if she had made a decision and began taking off her clothes. “Seeing that you were freezing all night yesterday, I’ll reluctantly agree to your impolite request, but you can’t touch me. If you touch me, I will bite you! Hmph!”
Ye Chen froze completely. Is Sun Yi going to sleep with him?
He gulped, expecting something in his heart, but Sun Yi just took off her jacket and did not take off the T-shirt inside. Her hot figure was not completely exposed.
Sun Yi glanced at her pants. It was impossible to sleep in jeans, so she ordered Ye Chen, “You close your eyes and sleep, I’m going to take off my pants...”
Ye Chen naturally understood and tried to sleep quite honestly, even closing his eyes.
...
Soon, he felt a warm, tender body entering his quilt. Sun Yi laid down with her back turned to him.
Sun Yi seemed to be aware of Ye Chen’s gaze and turned around to face him. She was a little nervous. Pretending to be calm, she said, “I warn you, I learned Taekwondo and am very good at kicking people. If you get any ideas, I will sidekick and then Dragon Sways Tail 1”
“Dragon Sways Tail doesn’t seem like Taekwondo...,” Ye Chen protested weakly.
“Why do you care so much about that? I made it up! Hmph!”
After speaking, Sun Yi turned back and resumed her original position.
The room fell into silence for a long time.
Not knowing how long has passed, Sun Yi softly asked, “Ye Chen… Are you asleep yet?”
“Not yet.”
“I’m a little scared recalling what happened back then now. Can you hold me, just a moment?”
Ye Chen looked at a beautiful young girl in front of him and naturally, he would not refuse. “Okay...”
“You turn around. If we hug from the front, that position will be awkward...” While Sun Yi’s voice was very light, her face was red like fresh blood. She did not know why she made such an improper request and was even worried whether Ye Chen would think she was a bit promiscuous...
