Facing Li Xuanyu’s expectant and excited eyes, Yang Fei was momentarily bewildered.
Return to the Martial Arts World?
He felt the phrase seemed somewhat unfamiliar.
Had he ever left the Martial Arts World?
As ’Madman King,’ he had indeed stepped away from the global underworld.
But after returning to the domestic scene, he found himself involuntarily immersed in it, now even more so as a leading young figure in the Divine Continent Martial World.
He understood what Li Xuanyu meant by returning to the Martial Arts World.
That meant proclaiming to the global underworld that ’Madman King’ had returned, reassembling the members of the International Madman, and once again stirring up the global underworld.
That was indeed a life full of vigor, passion, and martial ardor—an exhilarating life that many longed for.
But for some reason, at this moment, Yang Fei felt little for that kind of life.
He couldn’t help but feel somewhat self-reproachful.
Initially, when they were surrounded and attacked, many of his brothers had died or had been crippled, suffering severe injuries. He felt responsible for avenging them, and deep down, he had never forgotten this matter.
So why did he now feel unfamiliar and emotionally unmoved when Li Xuanyu mentioned returning to the Martial Arts World?
Yang Fei doubted himself, feeling ashamed for his injured and deceased brothers. Across from him, Li Xuanyu couldn’t see the dominant aura she used to see in Yang’s eyes and felt deeply disappointed.
This man had changed.
Just over a year apart, and he seemed somewhat unfamiliar.
Was it because of that excellent wife he mentioned?
As Li Xuanyu thought this, she quickly shifted her gaze and said, "Maybe I’m too hasty. With your personality, considering how many friends were severely injured or even died that time, if you were back to your peak, you definitely would not forget the pain they endured, and you would certainly seek justice for that matter. There is no hurry; take your time to heal completely, and we will wait for your summons."
Yang Fei took a deep breath. Although he had been distracted just now and felt that returning to the Martial Arts World was somewhat distant from him, now he could confirm that deep down, he had never forgotten about seeking justice for that incident a year ago.
A gleam of sharpness flashed in his clear eyes, a glint that Li Xuanyu did not miss, and she smiled.
Sure enough, Yang Fei said, "It won’t take long. The ambush was my responsibility. Two brothers died, and many more were seriously injured; I cannot let this go unavenged."
Li Xuanyu nodded and said, "Let’s not talk about this topic for now. We can discuss it after you’ve fully recovered. Tang, may I meet your wife? Also, Li Xiaoji is my nephew; he offended your sister, which was a grave mistake. I will have him apologize to your sister and kowtow to admit his wrongs."
Yang Fei shook his head and said, "Let it be; it has already been resolved, so let’s not bring it up again."
Li Xuanyu said with a smile, "I know you spared him because you respect me, but he doesn’t realize whom he has offended. I’m having him come kowtow to teach him a lesson, to make him realize that he can’t look down on everyone just because he’s the young master of Li Family’s Financial Group. Most importantly, I want to take this opportunity to meet your wife. I want to see what kind of woman can make Tang cling to marital life, almost extinguishing his martial spirit and loyalty."
Yang Fei detected a hint of sourness in her tone and felt a bit awkward.
Before Yang Fei could respond, Li Xuanyu blinked her charming eyes and said with a smile, "Is it that hard? Shouldn’t our many years of friendship at least qualify me to meet your wife?"
Yang Fei broke out into cold sweat on his forehead and hurriedly explained, "How could that be possible? Sister Xuanyu is like family to me; of course, you have every right to meet my wife. Alright, I’ll make a call. We haven’t seen each other in a long time, and since we’ve met, we should find a place to catch up, and I should also show some hospitality now that Sister Xuanyu has come to the Divine Continent Country."
Li Xuanyu beamed a bright smile, "That’s more like it."
Yang Fei gave an embarrassed smile and pulled out his phone to call Qin Yanyang.
It was almost noon, and Qin Yanyang seemed to be in class. It took her a little while to answer and she said, "Just finished class, what’s up? Is there something wrong?"
Yang Fei said, "I ran into an old friend from overseas today. She heard I got married and really wants to meet you. I... couldn’t just refuse. So, are you free?"
Qin Yanyang suddenly became slightly sensitive and asked, "Who is it, a man or a woman?"
Yang Fei cleared his throat and said, "A woman, cough, you... you might know her too. Li Xuanyu."
A cold snort came through the phone.
Yang Fei’s toes awkwardly dug into the floor.
He could tell that Qin Yanyang was angry about him hiding or deceiving her the day before.
But Yang Fei really felt helpless.
He had intended to keep all his overseas affairs from Qin Yanyang, which is why he had hidden the fact that he knew Li Xuanyu.
But who would have thought that Li Xuanyu would come knocking today and insist on meeting Qin Yanyang?
"Didn’t you say you didn’t know her? How come now she is an old friend? Will you tell me next time that she’s your ex?" Qin Yanyang’s voice came through, indifferent and somewhat icy.
At her side, Li Xuanyu, whose hearing was exceptionally good, couldn’t help but laugh. Yet, she didn’t explain. Instead, she looked at Yang Fei with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, her eyes seemingly asking if she was his ex. Get full chapters from Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
Yang Fei, sweating profusely, shuddered when he saw the way Li Xuanyu looked at him, feeling a sense of terror.
But suddenly, he steeled his heart, thinking, could he, a grown man, really be manipulated by two women?
Although he had no prior experience, as a man, some things are just inherent when pushed to the limit.
He laughed heartily and said into the phone, "Wife, you sound like you’re jealous, hahaha."
Qin Yanyang snorted, "I am not."
"Hehe, you are jealous. You’ve fallen deeply in love with me, hopelessly, and now you’re even scared of losing me," Yang Fei said, feeling more composed as he sensed Qin Yanyang following his lead.
"Pah! Don’t flatter yourself, I am not," Qin Yanyang retorted.
Yang Fei quickly changed the subject, "So will you meet her or not? If you don’t come, I might just go have dinner with her alone."
"Don’t you dare. Tell me the address, I’m coming right over," Qin Yanyang hurriedly said.
She wasn’t about to give this woman a chance.
But then she suddenly realized, what was happening to her? She wasn’t acting like herself.
The super confident Qin Yanyang, the lady of the Qin Family who handled everything smoothly, seemed truly flustered and genuinely bothered by the idea of Yang Fei being alone with another woman.
When Yang Fei went to dinner alone with Tong Yunshu last time, she felt no sense of crisis at all, so why now?
Qin Yanyang recalled the subtle change in Yang Fei’s expression when he saw the woman on TV last night.
Although Yang Fei had just met Tong Yunshu recently, and although Tong Yunshu was also beautiful and outstanding, Qin Yanyang was confident she was no less, so she felt assured.
But Yang Fei and this woman named Li Xuanyu clearly knew each other from before, and Qin Yanyang did not know the nature of their past relationship, which made her very curious and disturbed.
Yes, that must be it.
It’s certainly not because she’s jealous.
Worried about him being snatched away by another woman?
Who could snatch a man from my hands, Qin Yanyang?
Her confidence swiftly returned, stronger than ever.
