Chapter 548: Ye Qingning

Furthermore, his brows and eyes bore a slight resemblance to Ye Qingning's; the two were likely sister and brother.

"It's you?" Chen Yu had originally intended to go out, but as soon as he opened the door, he encountered Ye Qingning, and his expression could not help but falter slightly.

The last time Wu Zhangjiang hosted him, Ye Qingning was also present. She had originally come to ask Chen Yu for help, but she did not trust him and was hesitant and evasive, so Chen Yu simply left the table. However, he had not expected her to actually come looking for him.

"Mr. Chen, excuse the intrusion." Ye Qingning nodded slightly and said apologetically, "Coming here so abruptly was truly a last resort; I hope Mr. Chen will not take offense."

"How did you know I lived here?" Chen Yu stared at her.

"Hmph, could such a small matter stump our Ye Family? Don't talk about finding out where you live; even digging up your ancestors back eight generations wouldn't be difficult." The young man beside her snorted coldly, his expression extremely arrogant.

"Hold your tongue." Ye Qingning's expression changed slightly. Her younger brother, Ye Qinglong, had been a spoiled brat since childhood and had always been a lawless existence.

But it would be one thing if he were a playboy in Shengjing; this was Ning City, and Wu Zhangjiang and his wife had highly recommended Chen Yu, saying he was a man of great ability. She feared her brother's lack of discretion would displease Chen Yu.

Hearing the unfriendly tone from his sister, Ye Qinglong stopped speaking sullenly, though the expression on his face remained extremely disdainful.

"Mr. Chen, I am truly sorry. This is my younger brother, Ye Qinglong; he is still young..." Ye Qingning paused when she said this, and then even she felt embarrassed.

Her brother was not exactly young; he was at least twenty. Young? Immature?

"If you have something to say, just say it directly," Chen Yu said indifferently.

"Mr. Chen, have you inquired about the Witch Clan with Fan Lao?" Ye Qingning knew that a man of great ability like Chen Yu did not like beating around the bush, so she went straight to the point.

"I have been to see him, so what?" Chen Yu looked at her askance and said, "If you are investigating me in secret, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Hey, you..." Ye Qinglong was displeased. Since he was a child, who had ever dared to speak to him and his sister in such a tone?

"No, Mr. Chen, please do not misunderstand. We only went after you left Fan Lao's place; we were also inquiring about the location of the Witch Clan." Ye Qingning pulled her brother behind her and stopped him with a sharp look.

"Why are you inquiring about the Witch Clan?" Chen Yu was taken aback.

"This is related to the matter we need Mr. Chen's help with. I am truly sorry about last time; I should have listened to Wu Shu. Mr. Chen is a true man of great ability, and our matter is something only Mr. Chen can help us with," Ye Qingning said sincerely.

"Your matter?" Chen Yu shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with me; don't drag me into it. Besides, we are likely not inquiring about the Witch Clan for the same reason."

"Kid, what kind of attitude is that? This is my sister. I'm telling you, I've tolerated you for a long time." Ye Qinglong finally exploded. He pointed at Chen Yu and shouted, "Wu Zhangjiang said you were a man of great ability? In my eyes, you're not great at all. If you dare to speak to my sister in such a stiff tone again, I won't be polite to you."

"Qinglong, hold your tongue." Ye Qingning was startled. Her brother was used to being arrogant and truly did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.

"This is your brother?" Chen Yu turned his head to look at Ye Qinglong.

"That's right, I'm her brother. Kid, you should be glad this is Ning City. If this were in Shengjing, you wouldn't even know how many times you'd have died already," Ye Qinglong said viciously.

"Shut your mouth! If you dare say one more word, I will ground you." Ye Qingning was truly angry. She was here trying to beg the man nicely, yet Ye Qinglong was offending him to death?

"It's fine," Chen Yu took out a piece of yellow paper and began folding it in his hands in a leisurely manner. He said indifferently, "Young people have a lot of pent-up anger, but it doesn't matter; just getting rid of the heat will do."

As he spoke, the yellow paper in Chen Yu's hands had already been folded into a Paper Man. He traced a few lines in the air with his right hand and then pointed heavily at the paper figure.

"Whether I have pent-up anger or not has nothing to do with you! Kid, why don't we spar?" Ye Qinglong's temper flared; no one's advice was of any use.

"Sparring is unnecessary. In front of me, you would only be on the receiving end of a beating. A word of warning: not everyone is someone you can afford to provoke," Chen Yu said, tossing the Paper Man in his hand forward.

With a soft *whoosh*, the yellow Paper Man immediately attached itself to Ye Qinglong's body. Then, a faint yellow glow flashed, and the paper figure actually vanished into his body.

Ye Qinglong was startled. He pointed at Chen Yu and roared, "You—what did you do to me?"

"Kid, your parents didn't discipline you well, so today I will teach you a lesson for them," Chen Yu said, pointing his right hand at Ye Qinglong.

Ye Qinglong's body suddenly stiffened. He fell to the ground with a *thud*, his four limbs pressed to the floor, sticking out his tongue and panting heavily.

"Qinglong, what's wrong with you? Get up quickly." Ye Qingning was shocked. Her brother, now lying on the ground with his tongue out and panting, looked exactly like a dog. She had no idea what was happening.

"Sister, I, I... woof, woof." Ye Qinglong opened his mouth in terror. He had wanted to speak, but what came out were a few barks.

It was early morning, and many people were out jogging, while a large number of people were walking their beloved dogs on leashes.

Ye Qinglong's posture immediately attracted the gazes of a crowd.

A large group of people gathered around, pointing at Ye Qinglong.

"What's wrong with this young man? Why does he look just like my family's Husky?" A middle-aged woman holding a Husky looked at her own dog, then at Ye Qinglong, her face full of shock.

"Is this some kind of performance art?"

"I don't think so. Has this young man simply lost his mind?"

"Look, his expression changed again. That looks so much like a Golden Retriever."

"Holy crap, now he's a Teddy."

The crowd burst into laughter. They felt both surprised and amused by Ye Qinglong's appearance.

"Get lost, woo-woo..." Ye Qinglong was both ashamed and furious. He was a direct descendant of the Shengjing Ye Clan, a famous playboy, and now he was being watched like a monkey?

He wanted to curse, but every time he opened his mouth, all that came out was alien gibberish.

"Mr. Chen, Qinglong is just a bit of a playboy; he isn't actually bad. I beg you, please let him go," Ye Qingning was startled and hurriedly pleaded with Chen Yu.

Chen Yu said leisurely, "If he apologizes, this matter will end here."

"Qinglong, apologize," Ye Qingning said sternly.

"Don't even think about it... woof, woo-woo, you just wait. I'll call people from Shengjing immediately and have you dismembered."

How could Ye Qinglong give in so easily? Even in this state, it could not stop his arrogance.
