Chapter 1630: Chapter 1630: We’re All Family, No Need to Be So Formal
At that moment, Leng Qiufeng felt completely out of sorts.
Like a deathly cold aura spreading from his feet to his head, it swept through him in an instant, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
As he watched Ye Xuan’s figure slowly approaching, Leng Qiufeng couldn’t help but recall Ye Xuan’s legendary achievements in recent times.
Especially the recent battle on Canglang Island!
The Northern Federation’s Sword God, an unparalleled martial arts supreme, was slain by a single sword strike from Ye Xuan!
Chen Yue, the Great Elder of Qingcheng Mountain, was obliterated in a single move!
Even Zhao Yunhai, the second elder of the Lu Family, couldn’t escape his fate!
Ye Xuan, all on his own, unarmed, slaughtered everyone from the three major sects that day, like a hurricane sweeping through, destroying everything!
With so many top-tier masters joining forces, they were all mercilessly trampled by Ye Xuan. What chance did a mere Leng Qiufeng stand? In Ye Xuan’s eyes, probably no one in the world was beyond his reach!
Thinking of this, Leng Qiufeng’s pupils shrank, and he was scared enough to almost wet his pants.
Finally, Ye Xuan reached Leng Qiufeng, looking down at him with a grin: "Dear brother-in-law, do you have any last words before the end? If not, I’m ready to send you on your way?"
As he spoke, Ye Xuan twisted his neck, stretching his body, releasing an eerie series of bone-cracking sounds, like firecrackers going off, making Leng Qiufeng shiver with fear.
Leng Qiufeng could no longer bear the pressure.
"Wait a minute!" he shouted reluctantly.
Ye Xuan paused his movements: "Brother-in-law, have you thought of your last words?"
Last words my ass!
Leng Qiufeng cursed silently, but put on a very friendly smile, winking continuously at Ye Xuan and saying: "Misunderstanding, it’s a big misunderstanding, hahaha, brother-in-law, you’re great in every way, but you can’t take a joke, can’t you see? I’ve always been joking with you?"
"Joking?" Ye Xuan looked very surprised: "But to me, it doesn’t seem like a joke at all?"
"Is that so? Then it must be my acting skills that are too good, haha!" Leng Qiufeng laughed: "With a brother-in-law as great as you, I’m too glad to separate you from Qiuge, don’t you know, from the beginning I’ve been rooting for you two, when Qiuge ran off to Barona, I even scolded her for a whole night on your behalf!"
Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow: "Is that true?"
"Absolutely true!"
Leng Qiufeng patted his chest in assurance, but inside he was bleeding.
Humiliation, shame beyond measure!
If he had known that Ye Xuan had no respect for elders, he shouldn’t have pushed it from the start. Now, he’s gone too far, and not only didn’t he save face, he lost even more!
Leng Qiufeng almost couldn’t hold back his tears, think of me, young master Lin, dashing in my day, when have I ever lost face like this?
If word got out, he’d be too embarrassed to show his face!
"Brother-in-law, you’re a person of status, I’m inclined to believe what you say."
But Ye Xuan was staring at Leng Qiufeng, half-believing, half-doubting, and then said: "But I keep thinking, there’s a few things I can’t figure out, like, why did you say you’d become a nightmare in my heart?"
"Didn’t I say? It’s all a joke!" Leng Qiufeng said: "How could I ever have the skills for that, if you talk nightmares, you being a nightmare in my heart is more like it!"
Ye Xuan rubbed his nose and said: "Then why’d you try to attack me? It didn’t seem like you were holding back?"
"It’s a sign of trust!" Leng Qiufeng explained: "Brother-in-law, who are you? Even if I gave it my all, could I ever harm you? Restraint, that’s something the strong offer to the weak, what right do I have to be restrained with you?"
"True enough." Ye Xuan nodded: "But just now you seemed ready to hit back, nitpicking like that seemed genuine."
"Uh..." Leng Qiufeng’s eyes darted quickly, and he quickly said: "It’s like this, when I said I’d hit back, I didn’t really mean it, it was purely to see how instinctive your self-defense was, brother-in-law, if it wasn’t perfect, I, as your elder brother-in-law, had to remind you.
After all, you’re in a dangerous situation now, enemies could strike at any moment, you can’t be without complete vigilance, can you?
I’m reassured to know now, brother-in-law, you’re indeed a dragon among men, you’ve perfected everything, even this vigilance, I was overthinking, haha!"
Leng Qiufeng was smiling on the outside, but crying inside.
Ye Xuan, can you please just be my elder? Stop asking questions, the more you ask, the more shame I feel, I am your brother-in-law after all, can’t you give me some face?
As if sensing Leng Qiufeng’s silent cries, Ye Xuan finally stopped asking.
"Hearing you say this, brother-in-law, I’m much relieved." Ye Xuan nodded: "It’s my fault, being too sensitive, not seeing your good intentions, almost making a big mistake. Brother-in-law, I really wronged you!"
Leng Qiufeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, laughing and waving it off: "It’s nothing, nothing, we’re family, no need to be too formal!"
Ye Xuan was moved: "Brother-in-law, you’re such a good person!"
Leng Qiufeng’s smile was forced: "It’s my duty!"
Ye Xuan, with concern: "Brother-in-law, how are your injuries? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
Leng Qiufeng held onto his dignity: "Just a small injury, nothing serious! Your brother-in-law here, I’ve been in the army, been on the battlefield, I’m not some whimpering little puppy over a scratch!"
"Brother-in-law, you’re a real man!" Ye Xuan gave Leng Qiufeng a thumbs up.
Leng Qiufeng smiled humbly, even when praised, he still felt an inexplicable sadness, this real man, he really didn’t want to be!
Then, Ye Xuan suddenly raised his hand, looking at it twice and said: "Brother-in-law, I’m injured."
"Ah?"
Leng Qiufeng’s smile froze.
Ye Xuan extended his hand in front of him, looking pitiful: "Look, I broke a layer of skin hitting you, it’s bleeding!"
Leng Qiufeng: "..."
Ye Xuan, you old bastard, you old bastard!
But Leng Qiufeng maintained an appropriate smile, speaking with concern: "Oh dear, it’s really careless of me, as your brother-in-law, how could I let you get hurt from hitting me? It’s my fault!"
Ye Xuan sighed: "It’s okay, brother-in-law, I’m quite easy-going, really not greedy."
Leng Qiufeng understood, and without hesitation said: "Brother-in-law, you’re so generous, here, I’ll have someone bring you a large sum of money tomorrow, your wound is almost a millimeter deep, we can’t be careless, you need a good recovery!"
"Well..."
Ye Xuan showed a difficult expression, after a moment, he sighed: "Since brother-in-law insists, then I’ll accept your kindness, but frankly speaking, brother-in-law, you mustn’t give me more than a few million, or I’ll get mad!"
