Sword King In A Women's World-Chapter 9 - : Family Feud

Ye Chenxi’s expression turned serious. She controlled all the underground forces in Jinmen City. Without Chu Qing’s help, Ye Chenxi realized she might have failed and even lost her life.

“Yes, I’ll get someone to take care of things here.”

However, Ye Chenxi was still secretly surprised. Was this Chu Qing really an ordinary high school student? Why was he completely different from her investigation results?

It was unusual for a regular high school student to possess knowledge of ancient martial arts that were only known to a select few. Additionally, he appeared to have extensive knowledge of underground forces.

“About today’s meal… let’s give it a miss. I’ll treat you another day. If I return home late, my father will be worried.”

Chu Qing rubbed his shoulders. The attack just now seemed to be a warm-up for him. He couldn’t help but hope that there would be some more trouble.

Chu Qing could not help but smile. Fortunately, he was here today. Otherwise, Ye Chenxi would probably be in trouble. Could this be considered as her owing him a favor?

This way, this woman wouldn’t be so arrogant in front of him in the future and call him her man…

Beep, beep, beep…

“Hello? Who’s this?”

Ye Chenxi’s phone suddenly rang. She shook her head and answered the call.

“What?!”

Chu Qing watched as Ye Chenxi’s face suddenly turned pale. He wondered what happened.

Although the woman’s situation seemed serious, Ye Chenxi realized that it had nothing to do with him. It was likely an issue related to her family and the underground forces. As a mere high school student, he didn’t think he had the power or influence to intervene in such matters.

Chu Qing was not keen on getting involved in the woman’s family affairs and was ready to leave. He preferred to keep a low profile and avoid any unnecessary entanglements. The less he participated in the affairs of others, the better it was for him. This way, he wouldn’t have any lingering concerns or obligations when he eventually left.

“Chu Qing… don’t leave yet…”

Just as Chu Qing turned around, Ye Chenxi suddenly grabbed him and her eyes started to turn red.

This made Chu Qing very curious. What made a powerful woman like Ye Chenxi lose her composure?

“What happened?”

“M-My… mother was attacked… She’s currently being resuscitated at home…”

“How did this happen?”

Chu Qing’s face grew serious as he contemplated the recent events. Despite the suddenness of the situation, he had lived through two lifetimes and had developed a sharp sense of conspiracies. He couldn’t shake off the feeling that there was more to the recent events than what appeared on the surface. In his experience, it was highly unlikely that these events were merely coincidental.

If something happened to Ye Chenxi today, and her mother was unable to take charge of the overall situation because of the assassination attempt, then there would definitely be a huge change in the underworld of Jinmen City!

When that happened, it would definitely not be a small matter. The entire city of Jinmen would be in chaos!

“D-Don’t… cry. I’ll go with you.”

Chu Qing smiled bitterly. It seemed that he could not leave. No matter what, Ye Chenxi had just proposed to be friends with him. Now that his friend was in trouble, how could he leave just like that?

“Okay…”

Ye Chenxi’s eyes grew dull as she considered the situation. Her mother had always been the backbone of their family, and without her, she felt vulnerable. She worried that her aunts, who were already eyeing her mother’s position, would try to harm her or take advantage of the situation. Ye Chenxi wondered how she could protect herself and her family’s interests in such a dangerous environment.

Chu Qing also understood Ye Chenxi’s feelings. If his family was hurt, Chu Qing’s anger would burn the entire world!

“Let’s go!”

As Ye Chenxi remained lost in thought, Chu Qing called a taxi, sensing the urgency of the situation. They needed to hurry to Ye Chenxi’s family and ensure her mother’s safety. Chu Qing understood that if Ye Chenxi wasn’t present, her mother’s injuries could worsen, especially since they were likely the result of a deliberate attack.

During his cultivation in another world, Chu Qing witnessed the unsavory actions of fellow sect members fighting for status and power. As a result, he understood the motives of the group of people targeting Ye Chenxi and could anticipate their next moves.

What they would do next was to completely eliminate their family lineage!

“All right, now, look at me!”

Chu Qing shook Ye Chenxi’s shoulders hard. Ye Chenxi finally came back to her senses and looked at Chu Qing.

“Now, your family depends on you. Of course, I can assist you, but ultimately, you must gather your strength and face this situation head-on. No one else will do it for you.”

Ye Chenxi was moved by Chu Qing’s words and she hugged him tightly. Despite the crisis, she felt comforted and supported by his encouragement. It was a rare feeling of relying on someone else, which made her feel intoxicated.

“I’ll help you. It’s fine. Now, tell the driver where you’re going. Then, tell your younger brother not to go home first!”

Chu Qing’s words had an impact on Ye Chenxi, and she realized that the safety of her mother, younger brother, and others depended on her. She felt the weight of responsibility and knew that if she failed, many people would suffer.

After giving the driver the address, Ye Chenxi called her younger brother, Ye Mao, and told him not to go home first. He could only head home after she settled the matters at home.

Chu Qing took a moment to rest and regain his energy before heading to Ye Chenxi’s family with her. He knew that they might face some resistance from her family, who might not easily let them in.

Chu Qing’s spiritual energy had recovered somewhat after the battle, and he was able to use more spells skillfully. In addition, he could sense a faint spiritual energy vortex forming in his dantian, which was a sign of an advancement!
