Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

Chapter 2246

Chen Jiuzhou snorted and then left the place.

"Chen Jiuzhou, stop right there!"

"We're not finished talking yet!"

"Come back here!"

Sword Saint and the others shouted from behind, but Chen Jiuzhou ignored them and left without even looking back.

"He's a beast! How dare he be so rude to us? How could we have been so blind as to elect him as Hall Master? Having Chu Tianfan as Hall Master would have been better than him!" King of Fighters punched the wall behind him in anger, forming spider-web-like cracks on the wall.

He deeply regretted their decision.

Of course, Sword Saint was equally regretful.

"They are acting recklessly." War God sighed. "After all, Chu Tianfan is already dead. We have forced the death of the only person in the world who could threaten them. With no constraints on their power or strength, do you think there's anything left for him to fear? In his eyes, you and I are probably nothing more than pigs and dogs waiting to be slaughtered."

Ye Qingtian's words left King of Fighters and Sword Saint speechless and their expressions turning sour.

"Do you think everything that Chu Tianfan said was true?" King of Fighters couldn't help but ask.

War God and Sword Saint stayed silent. They were too ashamed to answer.

After all, when Ye Fan was being criticized by the masses, the three of them had been on the opposite side. They had even injured him.

If Ye Fan's words were proven true, it would undoubtedly mean that the trio had once again done something extremely foolish.

In this world, it's probably most difficult to deny oneself and admit one's own stupidity.

Despite the numerous indications pointing toward issues with Dragon Gate Project, Sword Saint and the others held onto a glimmer of hope that Ye Fan's words were untrue.

After War God's departure, only Sword Saint and King of Fighters were left.

"Say, Sword Saint, do you really think what Chu Tianfan said back then was true?" King of Fighters asked again.

Sword Saint did not answer. Instead, he shook his head and sighed. "We have fought against Chu Tianfan for so many years. We can't always be the ones who are in the wrong."

He remembered the battle in the rainforest back then, where they had thought Ye Fan was cruel and immoral. But in the end, Ye Fan donated a large amount of spirit fruit to the country without any expectation of rewards.

In another episode, War God Castle tried to block Ye Fan from entering the country when he stormed Chu Sect. Alas, Chu Yuan conquered the world, and if it weren't for Chu Tianfan, they would have already died under the hands of Chu Sect.

And now, Ye Fan had once again stood in opposition to the world.

Still, Sword Saint and the others did not believe in him.

If they were wrong again this time, they would be too embarrassed to face the world.

Whether it was King of Fighters or Sword Saint, they naturally hoped and prayed that what Ye Fan said was false.

However, how could the affairs of this world be moved by human will?

A few days later, Dragon Gate Project was launched again.

The fourth batch of powerhouses had already arrived at the foot of Mount Yan.

King of Fighters, Sword Saint, and War God, however, were still in the hall and did not appear at Dragon Gate.

The trio was talking in the room, seemingly discussing something important.

Just then, someone walked in.

"We have been sent by Hall Master Chen to invite the three pillars of China to enter Dragon Gate." Zhao Zhenlu led a few subordinates to escort Ye Qingtian and the others out.

"Get lost! We decide whether or not to enter the Dragon Gate. There's no need for him to make decisions for us," King of Fighters shouted disrespectfully at Zhao Zhenlu and his men.

However, Zhao Zhenlu smiled bitterly and replied, "You may share your concerns with Hall Master Chen. I'm just a subordinate conveying orders. Why do you have to make life difficult for me?"

King of Fighters wanted to continue cursing, but he was stopped by War God.

"Enough. What he said is true. They're just following orders. No matter how much we say to them, it's just a waste of breath. Let's go. There are things that require us to speak directly to our fellow countrymen."

He seemed to have made a major decision as he turned around and prepared to head to the summit of Mount Yan.

"Ye, have you thought this through? If you do this, it's equivalent to becoming their enemies! I'm worried..." Sword Saint clearly had reservations.

Ye Qingtian, however, calmly waved his hand and said, "There's nothing to worry about. Even if Chen Jiuzhou is daring, he won't dare to kill me in front of so many people. I've been in China for so many years, and although I can't say much about other things, I can say there is still some humanity left in people."

The man continued without signs of panic or worry, "If Chen Jiuzhou dares to attack me, he will lose the hearts of the people. It will be difficult for him to push forward with Dragon Gate Project in the future."

"That's all well and good, but Ye, what if something happens? You are one of the most important figures in the country. You can't take the risk! Why don't I handle this conversation?" Sword Saint suggested as he couldn't let go of his concerns. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"You can't do it. Why don't I say it?" King of Fighters offered.

War God smiled and said, "Stop fighting over it. It's most suitable for me to speak. I have been the guardian of China for so many years, and everyone believes in what I say. I don't mean to boast, but my words carry more weight than the combined weight of your words."

"But—"

"There's nothing else to say. Do you have any other solutions?" Ye Qingtian interrupted them.

Sword Saint and King of Fighters opened their mouths, wanting to say something else, but the words never came out.

And so, the three of them walked out of War God Castle and went to the top of Mount Yan.

"They're here!"

"It's War God."

"War God has arrived!"

Sure enough, when the martial artist saw Ye Qingtian and the others, they immediately cheered.

Even though Ye Qingtian wasn't the Hall Master anymore, he was still a prominent figure and a source of inspiration in the minds of the Chinese.

Chen Jiuzhou smirked when he saw Ye Qingtian and the others. "There you are. I thought I have to personally invite you over. All right, let's cut to the chase. Dragon Gate has already opened, and the fourth batch of trainees is preparing to enter. As the pillars of China, you three should take the lead and go in first."

Ye Qingtian glanced at him and said with a smile, "Why the rush? Before we go, let me say a few words to everyone. What if we don't come back?"

"As you wish," Chen Jiuzhou said nonchalantly.

The only thing he cared about in the whole of China was his master, Moryana.

As for these three old men, when Ye Fan was still alive, Chen Jiuzhou could use their prestige to deal with him and push forward Dragon Gate Project.

Now that Ye Fan was dead, he had no competitors left in China.

Therefore, the trio was of no value to him anymore.

They were simply worthless trash in his eyes.

They can say whatever they want since they will be entering Dragon Gate soon.

Ye Qingtian walked to the podium and looked at the familiar and friendly compatriots beneath him.
