Chapter 517: 0518 New Year’s Eve, a legendary night! (Fifth Update)

The death of the samurai in Japan caused a furious uproar within the royal family.

After all, he was a force of the royal family, and his slaying by Ye Qiu could not leave them indifferent. An undercurrent surged within the royal family, and the name of Ye Qiu, a young Chinese martial arts genius, entered the ears of many people.

"Ye Qiu! I had no idea there was such a formidable figure in China, having killed Jiu Zang and Fujikawa Ueno. Now, Gu Yamashiro Baiichi is in China; fear he might personally strangle this emerging martial arts genius," someone commented.

"What a pity, with Mr. Gu Yamashiro taking action, he won’t be able to survive. Otherwise, I really would have liked to meet him!" another sighed.

In various martial arts circles throughout Japan, the name Ye Qiu sparked a desire to challenge him, with many lamenting that they could not personally take down this Chinese talent.

Ye Qiu was doomed, destined to shine brightly like a meteor, albeit briefly, and then vanish without a trace.

Many were lost in thought, recalling how many martial arts prodigies had appeared throughout history, few of whom had achieved mastery. Some were stuck at a bottleneck, never breaking through in their lifetimes, others took the wrong path in martial arts and found no future, and still, others died in battles far from home, without graves to mark their passing.

Ye Qiu was just a fleeting glimpse. Gu Yamashiro Baiichi, a veteran powerhouse, was set to snuff out the talent of Ye Qiu, an outcome that could not be changed.

In the end, the royal family held back from intervening, with two days left until Gu Yamashiro Baiichi’s move, they decided to see what would happen then, delaying their decision.

...

With two days left until New Year’s, after finishing up the annual meeting at Longjia, Shen Mengchen handed out red envelopes to all the staff before the company officially closed for the holiday.

Shen Mengchen, finally at ease, began preparing for the New Year at the Goddess Villa.

The two women, for some reason, decided against hiring a cleaner for the villa, opting instead to clean it themselves unanimously.

Ye Qiu, naturally relegated once again to manual labor, helped with fetching and carrying water, busying himself back and forth.

After a full day’s effort, the Goddess Villa looked brand new, with the scent of fresh water sprayed on the flower pots filling the rooms.

The glass was so clean that one could easily bump their head into it by accident.

As for the Spring Festival couplets, they were planned to be hung the next morning, set aside for now.

Shen Mengchen and Shangguan Mingyue, after a long day’s work, went to bed early, while Ye Qiu sat in the living room, meditating in a seated position.

The next morning, both women woke Ye Qiu early to hang the Spring Festival couplets. After finishing with the door and windows, the festive spirit was full in the air.

In the morning, Shangguan Hong called and had a long chat with the two women about her life in France and her inability to return home for the New Year, which left Shen Mengchen feeling somewhat disappointed.

When Shen Mengchen spoke of Ye Qiu, she said a few bad things about him, jokingly, sparking laughter from Shangguan Hong. After hanging up, Shen Mengchen felt a bit down, reminded of her father, Shen Tianlong, who used to be busy around the house at this time. Sensing her mood, Ye Qiu showcased his cooking skills, quickly lifting Shen Mengchen’s spirits.

Shen Mengchen told Ye Qiu that she had discussed a new project collaboration with Fang Sijie and planned to proceed with the work after the New Year.

Shen Mengchen also jokingly accused Ye Qiu of being attracted to Fang Sijie’s beauty, calling him a big flirt, among other things.

Ye Qiu retorted verbally, stating he wouldn’t even go after Shen Mengchen’s "grass."

In response, Shen Mengchen launched a merciless, devastating onslaught, determined to ’strangle’ Ye Qiu.

The two goofed around in the hall while night silently fell.

The neighborhood was brightly decorated, with the night colors much more vivid than when the lights first come on.

New Year’s Eve dinner.

Without a large gathering, Ye Qiu took to cooking a full table of dishes.

The meal was a feast for the senses. Outside, the sound of firecrackers filled the air. Inside the hall, Shen Mengchen and Shangguan Mingyue were already seated at the dining table, awaiting the final dish.

Yinyin called to wish the trio a happy new year. The little one missed them dearly and said she’d return right after the New Year to reunite with everyone.

It was evident the little one was sniffling, really wanting to spend the New Year with everyone. The little one’s tears came quickly, and so did the recovery, intentionally passing the phone to their mother Fang Sijie.

Fang Sijie exchanged a few simple words with the two ladies and mentioned Ye Qiu while still expressing her thanks, which made Ye Qiu not know whether to laugh or cry.

He couldn’t remember how many times Fang Sijie had thanked him already.

The meal was simple, lacking lavish dishes, but the three of them enjoyed it greatly.

After dinner, Shangguan Mingyue planned to take Guan Hong back to the clan for a visit, considering there was a large family there. They thought about Shen Mengchen, whose mood wasn’t particularly great, and wanted to take her along for some lively company.

"Ye Qiu, why don’t you come with us too?" Shen Mengchen suggested.

Shangguan Mingyue also gave an expectant look, "The old man wants to play chess with you. He mentions you often."

Ye Qiu shook his head, "Send my regards to the old man. I have other matters to attend to tonight, so I won’t join you."

Seeing the seriousness in Ye Qiu’s expression, Shen Mengchen knew he truly had other matters and did not press further.

The two ladies drove to the Shangguan family home, and after Ye Qiu had cleaned up the dinner table, his gaze shifted toward the window.

Kawano Yase, tonight was the moment to face this legendary master. Even if he didn’t seek him out, the other party would come looking for him.

Rather than that, it was better to take the initiative.

The duel between Kawano Yase and Ye Qiu had already caught the attention of the martial arts community. Although it was New Year’s Eve, it still attracted many people.

Ye Qiu left the Goddess Villa and headed towards the Daiwa Group’s office building.

On the rooftop of the Daiwa Group building.

Kawano Yase was sitting on the ground, his clothes fluttering in the wind.

Sitting quietly there, his powerful aura made all the spectators hesitate to approach.

"A legend indeed, he feels like an ancient beast. Facing him, I don’t even dare to think about attacking," a martial artist who came to watch spoke with reverence.

"Such a master, I can’t imagine what Ye Qiu, only at the True Qi level, thinks he can do to challenge a legend," someone curiously said.

"Perhaps, he has something to rely on."

"Something that can contend with a legend? That’s too mythical. I think Ye Qiu won’t dare to show up tonight!"

As the crowd discussed, more and more martial artists appeared on the rooftop of the building. Eventually, apart from a spot set aside for Ye Qiu and Kawano Yase to duel, there was no room left for spectators.

Those who couldn’t stand at the top of the building could only shake their heads and sigh, unable to witness the battle firsthand.

"It’s this late already, Ye Qiu wouldn’t really flee from the battle, would he? After all, he promised to definitely defeat Kawano Yase," someone murmured.

"You’re more anxious than the emperor, while the eunuch is not—didn’t you see Kawano Yase hasn’t moved? We’re just here to watch; honestly, I hope Ye Qiu doesn’t show. He’s so young, he has plenty of time to break through and fight later without losing face," another said.

Important figures from the northern and southern martial arts communities, such as Qian Zhen, Chen Yifeng, Mr. Jin, Li Tiesheng, and other martial arts elders, were counted on the scene; they all remained silent, focusing on the doorway that led to the rooftop from downstairs.

Just then, Kawano Yase’s eyes opened!

"You really dared to come!" As soon as Kawano Yase spoke, all eyes focused on the dark doorway.

A figure slowly stepped forward, a young face—none other than Ye Qiu.

"I’m here to cut you down!" Ye Qiu said lightly!
