Return of the King, Dominating the City

Chapter 1873 - 1748: Martial Arts Family (2)

Song Yun and the Little Sword God were assigned rooms that were far apart, not even in the same building.

Originally, they wanted to switch to adjacent rooms, but all the rooms had been pre-booked, and the staff didn’t have the authority to change them.

Not wanting to trouble an ordinary staff member, Song Yun and the Little Sword God gave up on the idea of changing rooms and checked in separately.

Their timing wasn’t too early or too late, as many people had already moved into the estate.

Song Yun, having nothing better to do, wandered around the courtyard.

Suddenly, a dazzling figure ahead caught his attention.

The woman was wearing a loose-fitting tracksuit, with her hair tied in a bun at the back, looking relaxed and at ease, glancing around curiously as if everything intrigued her.

She only showed Song Yun her back, but even without seeing her face, her figure hidden under the loose clothes was still quite eye-catching.

Heh heh, I hope she’s not just a "back-view assassin."

Song Yun chuckled inwardly, not rushing to chat her up, but walking ahead to get a glimpse of her face.

Just then, a man suddenly dashed out from the side, blocking the girl’s path, and said, "Hello, I think we’ve met somewhere before. Can we be friends?"

"Not interested!"

The girl glanced at the man, ignored him, and continued walking forward.

The man frowned slightly, quickly caught up, and with a smile he thought was charming, said, "I’m Zhou Dong from the Zhou Family, miss, perhaps we really have met somewhere."

"I said I’m not interested in knowing you, don’t you understand?"

The girl quickened her pace, her tone very cold.

The man was taken aback, showing a look of annoyance, and suddenly reached out to grab the girl’s arm, saying in a deep voice, "Miss, don’t be so aloof, can’t we even be friends?"

"Let go of that girl!"

At that moment, Song Yun shouted, startling both Zhou Dong and the girl, and they both turned to look at Song Yun.

Song Yun focused and, upon seeing the girl’s face, his eyes immediately lit up.

This girl was not only beautiful, but also someone he knew.

"Qiu Chumeng!"

Song Yun exclaimed. This girl, before he went traveling, had visited with the old man, the eldest daughter of a Martial Arts Family. He hadn’t seen her in years, but now upon seeing her, he recognized her instantly.

"Song Yun, what are you doing here?"

Seeing Song Yun, Qiu Chumeng’s face filled with joy, and she approached Song Yun.

Song Yun smiled and said, "Whatever you’re here for, I’m here for the same. I saw your Lamborghini in the parking lot earlier and thought it looked familiar but didn’t remember it was yours."

Qiu Chumeng giggled and said, "Hehe, it’s all old folks here; finally, there’s someone to talk to now that I’ve met you."

Zhou Dong came over and said to Qiu Chumeng, "Miss, so your name is Qiu Chumeng. I’m also a youngster, and we can exchange and interact during this time."

"Who wants to interact with you?" Qiu Chumeng rolled her eyes at Zhou Dong, then said to Song Yun, "Let’s go."

With that, she grabbed Song Yun and left.

Zhou Dong’s mouth twitched, and he instantly became furious. What does that pretty boy have that I don’t? You throw yourself at him, yet don’t even spare me a glance. How insulting!

He rushed to block Qiu Chumeng and said coldly, "Do you know who I am?"

Before Qiu Chumeng could answer, Song Yun joked, "Little guy, get out of the way quickly, I warn you, I’ve been heroically rescuing beauties for a hundred years; one slip and you might get beaten so badly your mom won’t recognize you."

Zhou Dong was already displeased with Song Yun. Seeing Song Yun being so cocky now, he angrily shouted, "You punk, what did you say?!"

"What did I say? Oh, turns out you’re deaf and can’t hear others speak."

Song Yun nodded earnestly, making Qiu Chumeng laugh out loud.

"Bastard, if I don’t beat you up, my surname isn’t Zhou."

Zhou Dong couldn’t hold back anymore and swung his fist toward Song Yun. Usually, he was domineering; who had ever insulted him like this? At this moment, he decided to teach Song Yun a lesson.

But in the next moment, Zhou Dong paid the price for his actions.

Bam.

Song Yun kicked out, and before Zhou Dong even realized it, he was sent flying, landing on the ground and groaning.

"I told you, when it comes to rescuing damsels in distress, I’m a professional. Without some skills, how dare I meddle in such tricky business?"

Song Yun chuckled lightly and pulled Qiu Chumeng away.

Song Yun hadn’t used full force, giving Zhou Dong only a small lesson.

But the commotion still attracted quite a few glances.

"Isn’t that Zhou Dong from the Zhou Family? How did he get beaten?"

"That girl seems to be Qiu Chumeng, but who is that young man beside her? I’ve never seen him before."

"Zhou Dong’s really lost face, getting kicked away like that."

The murmurs from the crowd made Zhou Dong’s face flush with anger.

He got up from the ground, glaring resentfully at the backs of Song Yun and Qiu Chumeng, gritting his teeth: "Bastard, I won’t let you two dogs off!"

Glancing at the people around, Zhou Dong felt utterly humiliated and quickly lowered his head, running away.

Zhou Dong returned directly to a room where four people were seated as if they were having a meeting.

There was a middle-aged man and three young men.

The middle-aged man immediately noticed the footprint on Zhou Dong’s abdomen and his face darkened: "Zhou Dong, were you beaten?"

Zhou Dong said indignantly: "Some stranger kicked me and ran. I chased him but couldn’t catch up. Otherwise, I would’ve beaten him to a pulp."

Everyone knew he wasn’t telling the truth, but no one exposed him.

The middle-aged man said to another young man: "Zhou Qi, go with Zhou Dong and bring back the person who attacked Zhou Dong. To dare offend our Zhou Family, we must restore our honor."

Zhou Dong deliberately put on a troubled expression, saying: "Second Uncle, wouldn’t that be inappropriate? After all, we’re in Blood Flow Path’s territory. If things get out of hand, wouldn’t we be disrespecting them?"

The middle-aged man said: "Don’t worry, the Blood Flow Path is in alliance with us."

Zhou Dong showed a pleased expression and said to Zhou Qi: "Alright, Brother Qi, please come along with me."

"Hmph, dares to provoke my Zhou Family, see how I’ll fix him." Zhou Qi snorted coldly, standing up and leaving with Zhou Dong.

Song Yun and Qiu Chumeng were strolling in the estate’s garden. Qiu Chumeng looked worried, saying: "Song Yun, the person you hit is from the Zhou Family. This person has a bad reputation, and he holds grudges. He’ll definitely seek revenge."

"You just said you didn’t know him, were you teasing him?" Song Yun laughed, looked into Qiu Chumeng’s eyes, and teased: "If he comes to trouble me, will you protect me?"

Qiu Chumeng smiled and said: "I can’t protect you, but as long as you’re with me, they won’t dare do anything to you."

Song Yun said: "So, you seem quite impressive."

Qiu Chumeng said: "It’s not me that’s impressive, it’s the Qiu family. I’m just relying on the support of my elders. By the way, it’s been almost two years since we last met, what have you been up to?"

"Leisurely training every day," Song Yun said with a grin.

"I don’t believe it, you must have done many earth-shattering things again."

"The earth is still fine, nothing earth-shattering."

The two of them sat in the garden’s wicker chairs, chatting leisurely.

Song Yun then learned that the Qiu family is a Martial Arts Family, with strength comparable to the Tang Family, possessing quite a few A-level experts, and the family head has also reached S-level.

Moreover, Qiu Chumeng’s status is not simple; she is the daughter of the Qiu Family Patriarch.

However, Qiu Chumeng’s talent in training seems lacking, currently only at B-level.

But she didn’t seem like someone who enjoys training. She probably not only lacks talent but also often slacks off.

Qiu Chumeng also told Song Yun about the Zhou Family’s situation, which is a family similar to the Qiu Family. However, in the past two years, it has advanced rapidly, producing another S-level, gaining a lot of momentum.

Previously, Song Yun didn’t know much about Martial Arts Families.

Now he understands that although these Martial Arts Families don’t show off in public, each of them has a deep foundation. To them, money is just a concept; most families control many businesses, ensuring ample financial resources.

What Martial Arts Families pursue is a higher realm and nurturing stronger talents to ensure the family’s longevity and prosperity.
