Chapter 201: Chapter 200 [Old Lady Ku]"Yaer, don’t joke about that. Yuxun and I were childhood playmates, our affection is quite good. But it’s impossible for her to fall in love with me!" Ye Tianchen chuckled as he shook his head. Ye Tianchen had never seriously considered the possibility of romantic love between himself and Ling Yuxun. In fact, since being reborn, he had never thought about pursuing any romantic relationships or looking for a girlfriend. Even with Xiao Ya, he had only wanted to protect and care for her. Whether these feelings were of romantic love was not entirely clear to him. Ling Yuxun was a lively and beautiful girl. Ye Tianchen had a good feeling about her, and even though they sometimes bickered, they got along well deep down. Xiao Ya saying that Yuxun liked him, even loved him, really startled him. He thought that in Yuxun’s eyes, he must be like a street thug. How could she fall for him? That would be the ultimate joke, right? "Tianchen, you’re just like Sister Yuxun said, completely lacking in emotional intelligence. It’s really hard for you to understand a girl’s heart!" Xiao Ya couldn’t help but smile as she spoke. "Anyway, whatever you say about Yuxun liking me, that’s absolutely impossible!" Ye Tianchen asserted forcefully. "Even if a girl likes a boy a lot, she will never say it because they all have their pride. Sister Yuxun has talked to me a lot about you. She spoke about you the whole way here, and whenever she talks about you, her emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure shine through, unwittingly revealing her fondness for you. Sister Yuxun is very good to you, so don’t let her down!" Xiao Ya said with a smile, persuading Ye Tianchen to be nicer to Ling Yuxun, almost like a matchmaker. At that moment, Ye Tianchen felt moved, but also a twinge of displeasure. He was touched by how kind Xiao Ya was, but her words and actions suggested that she had no feelings for him. He’d never thought too much about it, only hoping to protect and take care of Xiao Ya. However, hearing Xiao Ya push him toward Ling Yuxun, Ye Tianchen felt unhappy. After all, deep down, he hoped Xiao Ya would love him. This wonderful girl not only resembled the woman he’d loved deeply in the apocalypse, but also fit the ideal of "a fair lady, a gentleman’s good match." Who could remain unmoved? "What about you, Yaer? Don’t you feel anything for me at all?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask Xiao Ya earnestly. "I... Look, the bus is here! I have to go now, bye!"

Watching Xiao Ya hurry onto the bus, seeing her pure face blush slightly, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but smile, feeling reassured. It seemed Xiao Ya did have feelings for him after all. She simply thought highly of Yuxun and didn’t want to hurt her. "These feelings of young love, I haven’t given much thought to them. I just want to live happily, protect my family and friends. Anyone who makes my loved ones unhappy, I’ll make sure they never have the chance to be happy again!" Ye Tianchen silently vowed to protect everything he had, not allowing anyone to interfere. Whoever dared to cause trouble, no matter who they were, he would show no mercy. Watching Xiao Ya leave, Ye Tianchen chuckled and shook his head as he walked toward the entrance of Longteng University. Yuxun was waiting there for him to have dinner together. With Yuxun, he always felt relaxed and happy. This childhood playmate now brought joy into his life, and his feelings for Yuxun were those of a very, very good friend. As Ye Tianchen walked toward the entrance of Longteng University, Yuxun was being dragged by the old housekeeper of the Ling family, Old Lady Ku, toward a black sedan parked by the roadside. Yuxun’s father had learned that she and Tianchen were getting close. While Tianchen had become a notable figure in the Capital City, he was also attracting many dangers, the most immediate of which was the young master of Longteng, a powerful individual who was also a first-rate Ancient Martial expert and quite formidable—not the sort you could afford to offend, unlike other spoiled young masters who were worthless without their family’s backing. "Old Lady Ku, I really can’t go. I must help him!" Ling Yuxun pleaded with Old Lady Ku. "Miss, don’t make me use force!" Old Lady Ku said coldly, looking at Ling Yuxun. "Old Lady Ku, I really can’t. I can’t watch Tianchen die, I can’t watch the Ye family be exterminated..." Ling Yuxun desperately tried to break free from Old Lady Ku’s grasp, not wanting to return to the Ling family with her. Since Old Lady Ku was an Ancient Martial expert, there was no way Yuxun could break free. She was pulled straight toward the car. No matter how hard Yuxun struggled, she could not escape Old Lady Ku’s grip. "Old Lady Ku..." Ling Yuxun shouted loudly. Hearing Yuxun’s somewhat angry voice, Old Lady Ku turned to look at her, her expression still blank and cold, as if devoid of any sentiment. She spoke indifferently, "It seems your father was right, you have indeed developed feelings for Ye Tianchen. We can’t let you sink any deeper into this. If you truly fall in love with Ye Tianchen, not only will he die, but you could lose your life and even bring ruin upon the Ling family!" "I... I haven’t fallen in love with Tianchen. I just want to help him. We’re friends, and the Ling family has good relations with the Ye family. Why can’t I help him?" Ling Yuxun still didn’t quite understand, asking in confusion. "I’ve told you already. Our families’ status is now completely different. The Ling and Ye families used to be on good terms because their powers were comparable. But now, the Ye family cannot hope to compare with the Ling family. The Ling family need not trouble itself for the sake of the Ye family!" Old Lady Ku stated coldly. "Why... Why are you so cold-blooded..." Ling Yuxun said with reluctance. Old Lady Ku was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Ling Yuxun. She wanted to say something but ultimately didn’t. Instead, she just took Ling Yuxun’s hand and led her ruthlessly toward the nearby sedan. She couldn’t bear to watch Yuxun ruin herself and the Ling family for Ye Tianchen because, looking at the current situation, Tianchen was no match for the Young Master of Longteng University and was bound to die without a doubt. "Yuxun, what’s this about?" Ye Tianchen appeared and, seeing Ling Yuxun being pulled away by an old lady, couldn’t help but ask curiously. "Tianchen, I..." Ling Yuxun hadn’t finished speaking when Old Lady Ku interrupted her. Two bodyguards in black suits approached and stopped Ling Yuxun. Meanwhile, Old Lady Ku walked up to Ye Tianchen with an indifferent expression and a sharp gleam in her eyes. Ye Tianchen frowned, not because Ling Yuxun was stopped by the two bodyguards in black, but because the old woman before him, who appeared decrepit, actually emitted a strong murderous aura. She was definitely an expert, a super expert. "Are you Ye Tianchen?" Old Lady Ku asked. "Yes, is there a problem?" Tianchen replied with a smile. "The Ye family has been in decline for many years, and it should be comforting to produce a descendant like you. It’s just a pity that you won’t live long. I’m warning you not to get too close to our young mistress. You are not of the same plane and world. Otherwise, I will make you die even sooner!" Old Lady Ku fixed her eyes on Ye Tianchen, staring intensely into his eyes as she spoke. Ye Tianchen was taken aback. Who had he offended to have this old lady come out of nowhere, targeting him without a second word, and seem ready to make a move? Did she really think Ye Tianchen was so respectful of elders that he’d be easy to bully? "Old woman, have I offended you? First, I want to tell you that Ling Yuxun is my friend. And don’t you casually comment on the Ye family!" Ye Tianchen said with displeasure. Old Lady Ku glanced at Ye Tianchen. She had heard about what Tianchen had done since his return to the Capital City and admired his daring and responsible nature. However, this didn’t mean that she saw Tianchen in a favorable light, especially after learning that Tianchen had offended the Young Master of Longteng University. It wasn’t that she wanted to embolden others and undermine her own prestige, but the Young Master truly had formidable strength and a powerful background. Even the Ling family would not dare to offend him lightly. "Not a small temper, I see. Even if your grandfather Ye Yuanshan were here, he might not dare to speak to me like this, let alone a junior like you. Do you truly not know the immensity of heaven and earth?" Old Lady Ku said, displeased, as she looked at Ye Tianchen. "Old woman, I think it’s not me who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth, right? The moment you speak, you try to suppress me, wanting to use your seniority to press down on me. Do you really think I, Ye Tianchen, am so easily bullied? I respect the older and love the younger, but don’t push me!" Ye Tianchen retorted unhappily. "Is that so? Not only do I want to suppress you, I want to push you, and I’ll give you a lesson as well, to make you understand to stay away from our young mistress..." Old Lady Ku’s words were not even finished when she rushed towards Ye Tianchen. Ling Yuxun also did not expect this and was puzzled as to why Old Lady Ku, upon seeing Ye Tianchen, was targeting him so keenly as if she particularly wanted to humiliate him. Whoosh! An incredibly fast and vigorous punch was thrown at Ye Tianchen’s throat, surprising not only Ling Yuxun but even Tianchen himself. He knew the old lady was likely an expert from an Ancient Martial Sect, but he hadn’t anticipated her to be this strong. As the punch came at him, not only was it swift as lightning, but it was also loaded with strong Inner Strength, even causing the air to tremble as if it was being torn apart. Just an ordinary punch contained such immense power, how could it not be shocking? In a blink of an eye, Ye Tianchen dodged to the left, only to find that Old Lady Ku’s right hand turned into an eagle claw strike coming at him, leaving him with no escape, attacked from both sides. "Ah!" Suddenly, Ye Tianchen let out a loud shout. His entire body radiated a powerful superpower, shaking Old Lady Ku enough to slow down her attack, while Ling Yuxun covered her own ears with her hands.(To be continued.
