Chapter 1008: Don't Come Any Closer

Ye Xinyu suddenly broke free from Chen Yu with a violent jerk, stepped back a few paces, and a Dagger appeared in her right hand. She pointed the Dagger at Chen Yu: "Don't come any closer."

"Why are you holding a knife?" Chen Yu looked bewildered. Clearly, he had just felt her soften up, so why was she so agitated again in the blink of an eye?

"I said, don't pester me anymore." Ye Xinyu was angry; if he kept pestering her, her cover would be blown.

"It's just a knife, it can't hurt me." Chen Yu took a step forward.

"Then I can at least hurt myself, can't I?" Ye Xinyu suddenly raised the Dagger to her own face.

"You, what are you doing?" Chen Yu was caught between laughter and tears. The conversation had been going so well, and he felt their relationship could finally ease up, but in a blink, it had turned into this again.

"Chen Yu, the young lady of the Ye Family is highly capable and will become a virtuous helpmeet for you in the future, and Miss Yu also possesses great strength; they can both help you. You are not short of women by your side, so I beg you, stop bothering me, okay?" Ye Xinyu sighed.

"What did you say?" Chen Yu was startled: "Have you been watching me in secret all this time?"

"I..." Ye Xinyu stopped mid-sentence. She shook her head, then turned and hurried away from there.

Watching Ye Xinyu's back, Chen Yu wanted to chase after her, but fearing he might provoke her further, he had no choice but to stop helplessly. He just felt that Ye Xinyu seemed to be hiding something from him.

Having hurried away from Chen Yu, Ye Xinyu finally let out a sigh of relief. Her face was flushed; just now, when Chen Yu held her, she had almost melted, but fortunately, she had steeled her heart to shake him off, which prevented her from revealing too many flaws.

It hadn't been long since they last met, yet Chen Yu's strength had already broken through to Entering the Dao. Fortunately, the Tianle Nine Chapters that Ye Xinyu practiced progressed faster than Chen Yu's, which was why he hadn't noticed.

A figure flashed, and Xie Hongyan appeared. The look she gave Ye Xinyu now was full of fear; clearly, during this period, Ye Xinyu's methods had left her both shocked and terrified.

"Miss, another Asura has arrived, the White-Faced Scholar, Wen Ziming," Xie Hongyan said.

"Oh, let him come then," Ye Xinyu said indifferently. "Now that Yushan has been sent to the Chen Family, someone will take good care of her. Next, there are still eight Asuras left by the side of the Heavenly Mandate elder; I want to defeat them one by one and further hollow him out."

"But Wen Ziming is no ordinary person," Xie Hongyan said. "I'm afraid it will be difficult to make him submit."

"That depends on whether my methods are ruthless enough," Ye Xinyu smiled faintly. "Take me to see him."

"Yes." Xie Hongyan nodded, a trace of fear in her eyes.

When she first found Ye Xinyu, she was just an ordinary woman, but the current Ye Xinyu had already grown to a terrifying height.

A portion of the many powers Chen Tianming held in the secular world had already been brought under her control. If she could also subdue Wen Ziming, her power in the secular world would be truly terrifying.

"Do you think I'm indulging in wishful thinking?" Ye Xinyu suddenly laughed.

"No, your methods are the most terrifying I have ever seen in anyone," Xie Hongyan shook her head. She had originally been loyal to the Heavenly Mandate elder, but now she had been completely won over by Ye Xinyu.

And what was even more terrifying was that the Heavenly Mandate elder's power in the secular world was being nibbled away by her bit by bit. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before the Heavenly Mandate elder discovered he had become a commander with no troops.

"Heh, terrifying?" Ye Xinyu laughed, and she said softly: "Actually, I am just an ordinary woman, but Chen Tianming forced me to walk this path step by step."

"If I had a choice, I would rather be an ordinary woman, staying at home to care for my husband and children. Unfortunately, I cannot turn back now; he wants to tear us apart." The killing intent in Ye Xinyu's eyes grew increasingly intense: "So I must risk my Life to fight him."

"You are different from when I first met you," Xie Hongyan sighed slightly and said: "Your methods and courage are now extraordinary, and everything you do manages to deceive Chen Tianming. What exactly is the reason that supports you in walking this path?"

"Heh, when you have someone you like, you will understand," Ye Xinyu smiled, and she murmured: "When you have someone you like, if someone wants to snatch the person you like away from your side, then you will risk your Life to fight them."

For the next few days, Chen Yu barely left the house, spending his time with his family accompanying his daughter.

The little one's arrival added much laughter to the home. The cuter his daughter was, the more Chen Yu felt he owed her, because he hadn't been able to give her a complete family.

"I heard you are going out again?" While the little thing was fast asleep, He Lingyun asked softly.

"Yes, the Heaven War Pavilion issued a mission, but don't worry, it's not a big problem," Chen Yu smiled and said.

"Since when are missions from the Heaven War Pavilion simple?" He Lingyun huffed: "I'll go talk to the people above another day; they can't keep assigning you so many missions."

"No need," Chen Yu gave a bitter smile: "Sometimes we must borrow the power of the Dragon Breath, but their power isn't borrowed for free, so we'll just let those trivial missions slide."

"Your marriage with the Ye Family young lady is going to be postponed again." He Lingyun glanced at the sleeping Yushan and couldn't help but stroke her little face: "But does she know about Yushan's existence?"

"She knows. If she minds, then so be it," Chen Yu said indifferently. "At worst, I'll never marry; I cannot wrong anyone."

"The Ye Family young lady is reasonable, don't worry, I will resolve this matter," He Lingyun smiled: "What is going on with Xinyu?"

"I don't know. I always feel she is hiding something from me, but she never says it," Chen Yu shook his head and said: "When I have time, I will properly investigate what is going on."

"I have already asked Mu to investigate; I believe there will be results soon. Don't worry, if she has some hidden difficulty, I will find a way to solve it," He Lingyun said.

"Good." Chen Yu nodded; he felt everything was a mess right now.

Just then, Su Yan sent a message. Chen Yu glanced at the message, turned around, and went out the door.

"What's going on?" At a stronghold of the Tianyuan Pavilion, Chen Yu met Su Yan and her captain, Heihu.

"Mr. Chen, there is a small mission that requires your help," Heihu said somewhat embarrassedly: "I have already greeted the Dragon King and Xu Lao, but we currently cannot spare anyone suitable, and this mission is one you have accepted before, so we can only turn to you."

"A mission I accepted before? What exactly is the situation?" Chen Yu was a bit puzzled.

"Bai Muyu, your old classmate. Her father, Bai Zhan, is from the Chinese Academy of Sciences." Su Yan took out a file.
