Chapter 2397 - 2398: It’s Best to Leave Yang City
After taking Ye Xunhuan out of the Ye family, Kong Xi then encountered Olivia.
Initially, before Kong Xi appeared, Olivia was about to make a move to help Ye Xunhuan. However, because of Kong Xi’s appearance, Olivia stopped and handed it over to Kong Xi.
Now, Kong Xi did not disappoint Olivia, bringing Ye Xunhuan out. This filled Olivia’s heart with excitement, leading her to immediately approach when she saw Kong Xi bringing Ye Xunhuan out.
"You seem seriously injured, has the monarch’s injury healed?" Olivia asked, staring at Ye Xunhuan.
When the monarch captured Su Guyan and took him to Yangcheng to force Ye Xunhuan out, Olivia had already guessed that the monarch had set up an inescapable net, and that it would be a life-or-death situation.
But seeing Ye Xunhuan in such a sorry state still surprised Olivia deeply.
After all, the monarch had been injured before. Even if there were experts among the protectors, how could Ye Xunhuan become so disheveled in such a short time?
"Lin Yuhai is inside," Ye Xunhuan said with some pain, "I can’t even take one move from him!"
Upon hearing these words from Ye Xunhuan, Olivia’s heart trembled uncontrollably.
Although Ye Xunhuan had not recovered completely, shouldn’t he be able to withstand at least one move?
However, Ye Xunhuan would never use such matters to deceive her, which filled Olivia’s heart with indescribable shock and disbelief.
This sounds really incredible, after all, Ye Xunhuan was a martial artist in the transcendent realm.
Could the gap between Huaxia’s ancient martial artists in the transcendent realm and the Tianyuan realm be that vast?
The next moment, without waiting for Olivia to speak, Kong Xi immediately said, "This is not the place for talking; let’s change to another place!"
Olivia understood that what Kong Xi said was true, and without hesitation, left with Kong Xi.
Before coming here, Kong Xi had apparently prepared everything, even finding places for rest and living.
After Kong Xi brought Ye Xunhuan and Olivia to the place for resting and living, Kong Xi finally let go of the tension he’d been holding in his throat, and couldn’t help but let out a long breath of relief.
Facing Lin Yuhai brought Kong Xi tremendous pressure as well, fearing that Lin Yuhai would go back on his word.
If Lin Yuhai were to go back on his word and show no regard for him, he really would have no means at all.
After all, he’s no match for Lin Yuhai.
"Olivia, did you see Gu Yan outside?"
"Taken away by the Dragonhead, you don’t need to worry," Olivia replied softly.
When Su Guyan came out of the Ye family, Olivia had run into him and caught the sight of Su Guyan looking dejected.
Moreover, Olivia had asked Su Guyan some questions at the time, and upon knowing Su Guyan was driven out by Ye Xunhuan, Olivia couldn’t help but sigh, then comforted Su Guyan.
As they say, the onlooker sees more clearly than the involved; Olivia could see that Ye Xunhuan acted intentionally, spoke heavily to protect Su Guyan, so she consoled Su Guyan a bit!
Upon hearing that Su Guyan was taken by the Dragonhead, Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath of relief.
Ye Xunhuan was almost certain that staying with the Dragonhead posed no danger for Su Guyan.
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan slowly turned his gaze to Kong Xi: "Sir, thank you for today!"
Kong Xi, who had been silent, upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s thanks, immediately shook his head: "It’s nothing, I merely came on orders to repay a debt of gratitude, which made us all relaxed!"
"Sir, since you were able to bring me out, why not be more assertive and help me..."
"Do you think I don’t want to!" Kong Xi smiled wryly, "Taking one person or two, if I could do it, why would I refuse!"
Ye Xunhuan thought so too, but the fact was that Kong Xi did not do it.
"I wanted to, but couldn’t; he’s not someone I could handle," Kong Xi said helplessly, "He could easily kill me, and I’m merely relying on the identity of belonging to the Confucius family from Qufu, for him to show some restraint and grant the family a chance to repay a favor!"
"Otherwise, he would certainly kill me, and while I told him about the young girl, you’ve heard his response!"
Ye Xunhuan was silent – he did hear Kong Xi’s words.
At first, Ye Xunhuan thought Kong Xi didn’t want to stir trouble, but now it looked like Kong Xi genuinely wasn’t a match for Lin Yuhai!
However, thinking back, it makes sense; how could there be so many experts in the Tianyuan realm in this world? After all, reaching the Tianyuan realm requires reaching transcendent, the number of transcendent martial artists in Huaxia is scarce, let alone those in Tianyuan realm!
"You... you’re from the Confucius family in Qufu?" Olivia said with some surprise.
Previously, Olivia had seen Kong Xi but didn’t know his background; now, Kong Xi’s revelation filled Olivia’s heart with surprise.
She knew about the Confucius Temple in Qufu and understood its special place in Huaxia. But simultaneously Olivia knew that though the Confucius Temple was public, it was also a reclusive family; they didn’t get involved in worldly affairs, nor in disputes or grudges, completely adhering to Confucian ideals.
Kong Xi nodded: "Indeed, I’m from the Confucius family in Qufu!"
"Never thought the Confucius family would choose to wade into such murky waters!" Olivia took a deep breath.
"It’s not about choosing, but repaying a favor!" Kong Xi clarified.
The next moment, without waiting for Olivia to speak, Kong Xi continued, "Sir, earlier you mentioned my mother and the Confucius family..."
"Just a translated text," Kong Xi replied softly, "Our interaction with your mother wasn’t deep, merely average, yet we must admit your mother was extraordinarily talented."
"Without her, we wouldn’t have deciphered the text, and I wouldn’t appear to protect you!"
This moment, Kong Xi frankly stated that his help for Ye Xunhuan was due to the favor of a translated text from years ago.
"Regardless, I am deeply grateful for your life-saving favor, and shall never forget it!" Ye Xunhuan lowered his stance, showing respect and politeness toward Kong Xi.
Kong Xi chuckled lightly: "No need to thank me, it’s merely benefiting from predecessors’ efforts; thank your mother instead!"
"She paved the way for you."
With that, Kong Xi stood up: "Well, my task is done. The rest is up to you all, though I advise you to leave this place soon to avoid unforeseen changes!"
