Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 278 Lu Guyang

"What the heck?" Ye Qing stared at Su Qing in disbelief.

"Let's talk about it after we get in the car!" Su Qing said.

Ye Qing nodded, and the three of them got into Su Qing's Rolls-Royce!

Su Qing glanced at Zhang Yi behind her and said, "By the way, Zhang Yi, don't mention anything you heard today to anyone. It could bring disaster upon your whole family!"

Zhang Yi was completely confused by what he heard.

At this moment, he was completely bewildered.

When she came over today, he felt like he was just a tool.

She couldn't understand any of it—nothing about dawn or any kind of inescapable net.

But at this moment, she realized something: this world was not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface. Beneath this peaceful exterior, there seemed to be a series of undercurrents of surging power.

Ye Qing couldn't care less about all that now. His gossip was burning brightly. He looked at Su Qing and said, "Tell me what's going on! The fourth-ranked expert on the Heavenly Ranking, one of the world's top super masters, and you're telling me he's the Ye family's live-in son-in-law? You must be mistaken!"

“There’s no mistake about that. Anyone who knows anything about Lu Guyang should know this!” Su Qing said, “The Ye family is also an ancient martial arts family with a long history. In each generation, they have a master ranked in the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking. This is the foundation for their position as the number one of the eight great families in Yanjing!”

"Moreover, the Ye family has an extremely close relationship with the Heavenly Net. Unlike the Su family, whose members are not included in the Heavenly Net, the Ye family has many members who die on the battlefield in every generation. Therefore, the Heavenly Net also gives certain preferential treatment to the Ye family!"

“Take our generation for example. The Ye family has produced a 21-year-old genius who is already in the top 20 of the Earth Ranking. It’s almost a certainty that he will enter the Super Ranking in the future!” Su Qing said. “But at Lu Guyang’s age, the Ye family had a talent gap and no geniuses emerged!”

"At that time, Lu Guyang was living in dire straits, making a living by throwing fights in the underground boxing ring. He caught the eye of someone from the Ye family, who then took him to the Ye family!" Su Qing said. "He took him as his son-in-law and nurtured him with all his might. It can almost be said that his status as the fourth on the Heavenly Ranking was cultivated by the Ye family!"

"That's how the story of one person and one city came about!" Su Qing said.

Ye Qing pondered for a moment and said, "That's not right. I remember when my senior brother told me he was in Yanjing, you looked very surprised. He's the son-in-law of the Ye family, living in seclusion within the Ye family. Isn't that normal?"

Su Qing shook her head and said, "Let me finish!"

"Logically, that's how it should be, but it's said that even though he entered the Heavenly Ranking in the Ye family, his status within the family wasn't very high. Of course, he still followed in the footsteps of the strongest members of the Ye family in each generation and entered the Heavenly Net."

"His child has also shown exceptional talent!"

"I've heard that!" Su Qing said, "but I can't guarantee it's true!"

"It is said that his son was killed by the Ye family!" Su Qing said.

"Hmm?" Ye Qing's eyes narrowed slightly. "His son was killed by the Ye family?"

"This is just a rumor, its truth is unknown!" Su Qing said, "Anyway, there's a saying that his son was very talented and would almost certainly become the head of the Ye family in the future. The Ye family felt that... his bloodline was impure, so they killed his son!"

"And it's said that he never returned to the Ye family after that time," Su Qing said. "That's why I know it's strange that he's living in seclusion in Yanjing."

"According to your logic, he seems to be the mastermind behind the Heavenly Net!" Ye Qing said, "Why has he gone into seclusion again?"

"I don't know the specific reason, but it was probably around eight years ago that he left Tianluodiwang," Su Qing said.

"Eight years ago?" Ye Qing's eyes narrowed.

This was the day his parents disappeared, and also the day he went up Mount Mang.

Is it a coincidence?

"But no matter what, the Ye family is still the number one family in Yanjing, and there is no sign of decline. As long as the next generation of geniuses enters the Super League, the Ye family will be able to remain strong for decades or even centuries," Su Qing said.

As she spoke, she drove home.

As soon as Ye Qing got home, his brows furrowed.

He found Zhang Yun playing cards with his son in the living room.

"Dad, what are you doing!" Zhang Yi said angrily when she saw this. "How could you teach Zhang Yang to play cards!"

Zhang Yun quickly put her things away and said, "We were just playing around!"

Ye Qing frowned, feeling that Zhang Yun was probably beyond saving.

He seems to have developed a gambling addiction.

"It's alright!" Su Qing said calmly, "I'll help him quit after he stays here for a while."

"Dudududu!"

"Dudududu!"

Just then, Ye Qing's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Lin Qianyu calling. He quickly answered the phone and said, "Hello, wife!"

Lin Qianyu snorted coldly and said, "Do you even remember you have a wife? It's been a whole day, and you haven't asked what I'm doing, haven't sent me a single message, and haven't replied to my messages!"

"Uh!" Ye Qing said, "I've been busy all day and haven't been looking at my phone!"

"I know, you're dealing with the Tang Group!" Lin Qianyu said. "Aunt Li told me everything. Are you free now? Come home quickly, Aunt Li needs to talk to you!"

Ye Qing's heart skipped a beat. He guessed that it was related to what Wang Chong had said about the Ye family's affairs.

He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be right back!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone. Su Qing said, "You can go now. I'll take care of their safety!"

Ye Qing nodded, then looked at Zhang Yi thoughtfully.

Zhang Yi quickly replied, "Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped!"

Ye Qing shook her head and said, "No, what I mean is, you shouldn't go to work for now."

Zhang Yi paused for a moment, then her eyes reddened slightly as she said, "Okay! I won't go."

Ye Qing waved his hand, then hailed a Didi ride on his phone and headed home.
