Xia Ruoxue’s eyes narrowed when she heard this.
The Qin family was returning!
Furthermore, they had successfully obtained the a.s.sistance of that expert from the Kunlun Mountains.
‘d.a.m.n it’”
Iler eyes were filled with anger and panic.
If the expert was really as powerful as the rumors said, then the situation in Jiangnan Province would undergo a huge change!
More importantly, she would not be able to escape Qin Zhengyang’s clutches.
The first thing she thought of was Ye Chen.
Given the current situation, could Ye Chen do anything?
The fact that Ye Chen could kill Tang Ao meant that he had considerable martial arts prowess. However, the main problem with Ye Chen was that he did not have his own faction!
The Heavenly Justice Group was at most a company and a tool to make money. It could not a.s.sist Ye Chen in dealing with the many experts that the Qin family had.
Furthermore, this was not even considering the mysterious expert from the Kunlun Mountains.
Xia Ruoxue had never felt so frustrated before. She forced herself to calm down. Ye Chen’s voice could be heard from downstairs.
Xia Ruoxue bit her lips as she opened her suitcase and took out an amulet.
Then she went downstairs to meet Ye Chen.
“This is for you. 1 specially had it made for you.”
Xia Ruoxue suppressed her worries and pretended that nothing had happened.
Ye Chen looked at the amulet and smiled.
Her eyes were filled with gentleness.
Given his current strength, he did not need any amulets. Moreover, this amulet did not contain any spiritual energy, so it was not very useful.
Even so, Ye Chen wore the amulet.
“Thanks, Ruoxue. You seem extra thoughtful these days.
Xia Ruoxue was a little absent-minded.
“You should wear it. It suits you very well. 1 have something to do and have to head out.”
Just as she was about to leave, Ye Chen reached out and grabbed her hand and pulled her back gently.
Xia Ruoxue fell into Ye Chen’s arms.
“Why do 1 feel like you’re hiding something from me?”
Xia Ruoxue shook her head fiercely, but the panic in her eyes could not fool Ye Chen.
“Just tell me. No matter what, as long as I’m around, nothing will happen to you.”
Hearing this, Xia Ruoxue froze. She thought of something and probingly asked, “Ye Chen, how strong are you now?”
Ye Chen did not expect this question. He pondered how to respond to her for a few seconds before asking, “Have you heard of Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings?”
“Yes, I have. It’s said that it ranks the strongest experts in Huaxia…”
Xia Ruoxue’s eyes sparkled.
“If I were to rank myself, I should be ranked 99th, because 1 killed Fang Zhongxin.”
“However, I’m not too sure about how much higher 1 would rank with my actual strength. Why did you suddenly ask me this?”
Hearing this answer, Xia Ruxue’s eyes dimmed
However, the gloom quickly disappeared and was replaced by a smile.
“I was just asking casually. Someone asked me about the martial arts arena just now, so 1 was a little curious. Alright, I’m going back to the Xia family to get something.”
Ye Chen let go of her hand and did not think much of it.
After Xia Ruoxue left, he called Ye Lingtian and asked if there had been any problems with the Xia family recently.
The reply he received was no.
Ye Chen still felt that something was wrong, so he took out a tortoise sh.e.l.l and a copper coin from the Samsara Graveyard, and placed them on the coffee table.
He closed his eyes and quickly formed a seal with his fingers. Seconds later, the copper coin on the table started to spin, faster and faster.
The tortoise sh.e.l.l was also affected by some kind of mysterious force and kept changing its position.
Countless arcs of golden light shuttled between the two items. This was a spell that he had learned from the old man, and would help him divine fate.
After ten seconds, everything stopped!
Ye Chen opened his eyes and a bright light shot out from them. His palm slammed onto the coffee table!
The tortoise sh.e.l.l and the copper coin did not move at all.
His gaze was fixed on the image on the coffee table.
It was a bad omen, one that signified a b.l.o.o.d.y disaster!
Ye Chen’s expression turned ugly. The old man had sent him to River City to stop Xia Ruoxue’s b.l.o.o.d.y disaster!
This omen meant that her life was in danger, and according to the old man, the only one who could save her was him!
He knew that this day would eventually come, but he had not expected it to come so soon. However, judging from the divination results, it was unlikely that today would be the day of the disaster.
Even so, Ye Chen did not dare to let his guard down. He immediately called Rakshasa, and sent him Xia Ruoxue’s photo with the instructions, “Even if you die, you cannot let anything happen to her!”
“Yes, Master!”
Rakshasa’s strength greatly exceeded all of the known martial arts experts in Jiangnan Province.
With his protection, Xia Ruoxue would naturally be safer.
‘This isn’t enough. Over the next few days, I should remain by her side.’
While Ye Chen was deep in thought, Lei Shuwei called.
“Mr. Ye, someone wants to see you. Do you have time to go to Capital City? Someone should be arriving at your address soon to pick you up,” Lei Shuwei said seriously.
He did not think that Ye Chen would refuse. After all, this was a great opportunity for Ye Chen.
“Help me thank that person first, but I might have something to deal with currently, and can’t leave Jiangnan Province,” Ye Chen replied.
Lei Shuwei was stunned.
Ye Chen had actually refused the invitation to go to Capital City?
Was he crazy?
Was Ye Chen going to be the first person in history to refuse that person’s invitation?!
That person would be able to protect him!
