Ling Yunchen's gaze toward Jun Yu grew increasingly displeased; he found him utterly unpleasant.
Jun Yu placed a white piece in his hand and said to Ling Yunchen, "Uncle Ling, you're too kind."
Ling Yunchen looked down and saw that his black pieces had been surrounded and killed at some point, and the outcome was already decided!
Ling Yunchen threw the chess piece in his hand back into the chess jar.
Before Jun Yu could say anything, Ling Yunchen spoke up, "I heard from Yan'er that you are quite strong. Sparr with me for a few moves."
Junyu hesitated for a moment; he had just been with Ayan.
Is it wrong to start a fight with your future father-in-law right now?
Will he still be able to enter the house and marry Ayan?!
But since Uncle Ling had brought it up, he couldn't refuse his request.
"What are you thinking about? Stop hesitating. Just say it: are you going to fight or not?" Ling Yunchen stared at Jun Yu.
This guy is very good at chess. I want to see how strong he is and whether he can protect Yan'er and provide her with enough safety and stability.
“I dare not disobey Uncle Ling’s orders.” Jun Yu stood up and extended his hand to Ling Yunchen. “Uncle Ling, please.”
Ling Yunchen's eyes sharpened, and he attacked him directly.
Yan'er cured his previously accumulated ailments, and his strength not only returned to its peak but also improved.
His strength broke through to the first level of the extraordinary realm.
Although he disliked the brat who had stolen his precious daughter, he couldn't help it because Yan'er liked him.
For Yan'er's sake, he certainly wouldn't really hurt him.
The purpose of sparring with him was simply to tell him that Yan'er was the apple of his eye, someone he cherished and protected.
Yan'er has powerful backers and cannot tolerate being looked down upon or neglected.
Therefore, the first strike was merely a probe.
Unexpectedly, Junyu easily deflected the attack and was even able to counterattack.
The two fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand.
A look of amazement flashed in Ling Yunchen's eyes. Good lad, he had underestimated him.
Despite his young age, his strength is by no means weak.
He was able to fight against someone at the first level of the Transcendent Realm for so long without being at a disadvantage.
On the other side, Ruan Xiyan found Ling Zhiheng.
"Yan'er, what brings you here?"
"Second brother, I heard from Father that you were looking for me."
Ling Zhiheng tilted his head, looking puzzled. "When did I contact you?"
"But it doesn't matter. Yan'er, you've come at the right time. I've just brewed some fine wine. Come and taste it for your second brother and see how it tastes."
Ruan Xiyan agreed, "Okay."
The two sat down, and fine wine was poured for them. Ruan Xiyan took a sip, her eyes sparkling.
"It's delicious, sweet and flavorful, with a rich aroma. It has a different taste from Yuehua Brew, each with its own unique flavor."
Ruan Xiyan gave Ling Zhiheng a thumbs up, "Second brother, you are truly exceptional at brewing wine."
Ling Zhiheng smiled modestly, "I have received Yan'er's praise."
"If Yan'er likes to drink it, take more and store it in your space so that you can drink it whenever you want."
"Bang—" A force suddenly emanated from the air.
Ling Zhiheng looked puzzled. "What's going on? Are people fighting in the Imperial Palace? Who's so bold?"
Ruan Xiyan looked at the location emanating the power fluctuations, "That's the direction of Xiyan Palace."
Only Father Emperor and Jun Yu are in Xiyan Palace now. Could it be that the two of them are fighting?!
Her father had deliberately sent her away.
Thinking of this, Ruan Xiyan felt a sense of foreboding and hurriedly rushed towards Xiyan Palace.
"Yan'er, what's wrong?" Ling Zhiheng, not understanding, followed after her.
As Ruan Xiyan and Ling Zhiheng stepped into Xiyan Palace, they saw Ling Yunchen and Jun Yu engaged in a passionate encounter.
Hearing the commotion, Ling Haoyang and Ling Jingyan also rushed over.
Watching the two fighting, Ling Zhiheng asked in surprise, "Why are Father and Young Master Jun fighting?"
“That’s right, Brother Jun is a guest from afar, how can Father Emperor do this? I’ll go and stop him.” Ling Jingyan wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Ling Haoyang.
"Father may have his own reasons, so don't disturb him."
Ling Haoyang looked at Ruan Xiyan, "Yan'er, do you know what's going on?"
Ruan Xiyan looked equally bewildered. "Big brother, I don't know either."
She was inexplicably sent away by her father under some pretext, and before she left, the two of them were playing chess together.
How did they start fighting after only a short time apart?
Did something happen to her while she was away that she didn't know about?
Given Junyu's strength, his father would definitely not be his match.
The fact that the two of them have been able to fight until now suggests that Jun Yu has been holding back his strength out of consideration for her.
The two were merely exchanging blows, each holding their own, and decided to observe first before making any further moves.
Each of his attacks was skillfully neutralized by Jun Yu. Then, glancing at Ruan Xiyan and the others standing in the courtyard, Ling Yunchen waved his hand and said, "Let's stop fighting."
If they keep fighting like this, they won't be able to determine a winner no matter how long they fight.
He could sense that Jun Yu's strength was far more than what he had just acquired.
He's been hiding his true strength, just playing around with him here like it's child's play.
Thinking of this, Ling Yunchen felt both angry and helpless.
Seeing that the two had finished fighting, Ruan Xiyan walked up to them and asked, "Father, why did you two start fighting?"
When Junyu saw Ruan Xiyan, he took her hand and said, "Don't worry, Yan, it's nothing serious."
He then looked at Ling Yunchen, who was standing there, and said solemnly, "Uncle Ling, I cherish Ayan."
"No matter where Ayan goes, I will protect her and make sure she is safe. I swear on my life that this promise will never change."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yunchen snorted coldly, "That statement is indeed correct."
Haoyang has already told him that Yan'er plans to go to the cultivation continent.
What kind of place is the cultivation continent? It is a place that is hundreds or thousands of times more dangerous than the secular continent.
He was naturally extremely worried about Yan'er.
Although he was unhappy that this guy had taken away his precious daughter, he felt more at ease knowing that with his strength, he could protect Yan'er in the future.
Before Ling Yunchen could say anything, Ling Jingyan rushed forward and looked at Ruan Xiyan and Jun Yu's clasped hands.
Her eyes widened in shock, and she stammered, "You! You! You! Yan'er and you, you all! You all..."
Ling Haoyang and Ling Zhiheng, who were standing nearby, were also dumbfounded.
Jun Yu shook his hand, which was clasped with Ruan Xiyan's, and said, "It's just as you see, Ayan and I are together."
Junyu's tone also carried a hint of boastfulness and smugness.
"What!" Ling Jingyan exclaimed, pointing at Jun Yu, "Jun Yu! I treated you with all my heart, like a brother, and you actually ran off with my sister! When did this happen?!"
"Third Brother Ling, calm down."
"Who is your Third Brother Ling! Don't call me that, I don't have a brother like you."
Looking at Jun Yu's appearance, Ling Jingyan felt that he looked like a wolf in sheep's clothing.
He was so ashamed of himself for calling Junyu his brother back then.
