Joy of Life: Invincible Starting from Basic Swordsmanship

Chapter 88: Three People Working Together to Persuade Ye Liuyun

Ye Chengfeng's sword strike was indeed powerful, but he lacked staying power.

On the other hand, Ye Liuyun's first palm strike did not completely block Ye Chengfeng's sword, but Ye Liuyun could have easily struck again.

However, Ye Liuyun held back his strength with this second palm strike, and controlled it with extreme precision. It not only neutralized Ye Chengfeng's sword move, but the remaining force only knocked Ye Chengfeng away without injuring him.

Ye Chengfeng, who was sent flying backward, was caught by Li Chengzhu, who had been observing the battle.

When did you achieve that breakthrough?

"I haven't broken through. Breaking through to the Grandmaster level isn't that easy. I'm just a half-step Grandmaster. It's just that my sword techniques are powerful."

After replying to Li Chengzhu, Ye Chengfeng steadied himself and bowed to Ye Liuyun, who was flying towards him.

He politely said, "Thank you for your mercy, senior."

"Your swordsmanship talent surpasses that of the old swordsman; you have already forged your own path."

Ye Liuyun's gaze toward Ye Chengfeng was somewhat complicated.

Ye Liuyun knew something about Emperor Qing's plan, after all, he was also a part of Emperor Qing's "Grandmaster Elimination Plan".

And it's the most important link.

"Senior, this is not the place to talk. Why don't we return to the ship and discuss this in detail?"

"Alright, let's go over and have a chat then."

Ye Liuyun originally intended to refuse, since he had come here on behalf of Li Yunrui, who had asked him to kill Fan Xian as a favor.

In a one-on-one fight, neither Ye Chengfeng nor Li Chengzhu could defeat him.

But what if the two of them team up?

Then he wouldn't be confident of winning.

The three moved extremely fast, arriving at the ship in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Fan Xian immediately went to Ye Chengfeng's side and quietly pointed at Ye Liuyun.

"Is that a Grandmaster? Grandmaster Ye Liuyun?"

"That's right, and he's here to kill you!"

Upon hearing Ye Chengfeng's words, Fan Xian immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

In the original novel, Fan Xian repaired the Barrett missile, and although he didn't end up using it, it gave him enough confidence.

This allows Fan Xian to take the gamble that Ye Liuyun is different from the other grandmasters.

Fan Xian has no confidence now, even with Li Chengzhu and Ye Chengfeng standing beside him.

Ye Chengfeng is alright; he trusts Ye Chengfeng enough now, but he doesn't trust Li Chengzhu!

Fan Xian did not believe that Ye Chengfeng alone was a match for Ye Liuyun.

Of course, this was because he hadn't seen the battle clearly and didn't know that the huge commotion was caused by Ye Chengfeng and Ye Liuyun.

Even though Fan Xian's voice was very soft, Ye Liuyun heard it clearly.

"Kid, just say what you want to say."

Upon hearing Ye Liuyun speak, Fan Xian became even more worried.

Ye Chengfeng looked at Fan Xian strangely and said, "You've probably forgotten that a ninth-rank cultivator can hear someone's heartbeat through a wall. Do you think a grandmaster can do that?"

"Alright, let's go inside and talk things out. Whatever it is, let's lay it all out in the open."

Ye Chengfeng led the way into the house, while Li Chengzhu glanced warily at Ye Liuyun before pulling Fan Xian inside as well.

Fan Xian had intended to break free from Li Chengzhu's grasp, but after glancing at Ye Liuyun, he gave up.

At the same time, his trust in Li Chengzhu deepened.

Ye Liuyun had already noticed that Li Chengzhu's appearance was eight or nine parts similar to Fan Xian's.

The two women also bore a striking resemblance to Ye Qingmei.

"Could they both be Ye Qingmei's sons?"

Ye Liuyun wasn't Ye Qingmei's little fanboy; he was Wu Zhu's fanboy, after all, he was beaten into a Grandmaster by Wu Zhu back then.

This is also why Li Chengzhu was able to fight him unharmed.

Otherwise, given Li Chengzhu's damaged mechanical body and lack of combat power compared to Wu Zhu, it wouldn't be too difficult for Ye Liuyun to take him down.

The group entered the ship and sat down.

Fan Ruoruo, who was already standing to the side, immediately understood her fiancé's meaning and ordered someone to prepare tea. She then stood behind Ye Chengfeng.

Fan Xian was incredibly envious!

"If Wan'er were here, she could do just as well as Ruoruo!"

Of course, what pained Fan Xian even more was that one of the members of this loving couple was his sister, his little cabbage.

This made Fan Xian dislike Ye Chengfeng even more.

"Boy, what business do you have with this old man?"

The somewhat somber atmosphere was broken by Ye Liuyun's words.

"How did you know I was looking for you, senior?"

Ye Chengfeng had only told Fan Xian about this.

"Wait, if Fan Xian knows, doesn't that mean Li Chengzhu knows too!"

Ye Chengfeng looked at Li Chengzhu with an unfriendly gaze.

Li Chengzhu awkwardly touched his nose, but he didn't deny it.

He said directly, "That's right, I'm the one who told Senior Ye, but unfortunately Senior Ye didn't believe me at first."

Li Chengzhu isn't stupid; he came to Jiangnan to help Fan Xian deal with the Ming family.

However, after he dealt with the Ming family, he encountered Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun discovered that Li Chengzhu had slaughtered the entire Ming family. Although Ye Liuyun was not a great philanthropist, he would still do something about it if he encountered such a situation.

Then the two started fighting, and during the fight, Li Chengzhu tried his best to explain.

Finally, with no other choice, he told Ye Liuyun what Ye Chengfeng had asked him to do.

"Alright, speak quickly, what do you want with this old man?"

Ye Chengfeng and Fan Xian exchanged a glance, and in the end, Fan Xian couldn't resist Ye Chengfeng's gaze.

He could only stand up and say, "Senior, let me tell you!"

Ye Liuyun looked at Fan Xian, waiting for his explanation.

"Actually, the matter is not complicated. We just want to ask our seniors to stand on our side."

"Why should I stand on your side?"

At this moment, Li Chengzhu also stood up, bowed to Ye Liuyun and said, "Senior, you should know my brother's identity. Our goal is very simple: to let him ascend the throne. Once he takes the throne, he will surely treat the Ye family well."

Ye Liuyun naturally knew Fan Xian's identity; Fan Xian's identity was no longer a secret.

"He is indeed a prince, but he is ultimately an illegitimate child, and it's difficult for him to find anyone in the court to support him!"

"You're mistaken, senior. His father-in-law is Prime Minister Lin, his adoptive father is Fan Jian, and he has close ties with Chen Pingping of the Censorate. With such power, how can the Crown Prince and the Second Prince possibly contend with him?"

Fan Xian's status as an illegitimate child was indeed his weakness, but this was before Fan Xian ascended the throne.

At this moment, this identity can actually make the Crown Prince and the Second Prince less wary.

Ye Liuyun also gasped in surprise. If he hadn't thought about it carefully, he wouldn't have realized how powerful Fan Xian was!

In fact, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince also overlooked this point.

Perhaps the Second Prince discovered it, but what right does he have to remind the Crown Prince?

Moreover, the Second Prince knew Fan Xian very well, and he felt that even if he failed in the struggle for the throne, given Fan Xian's personality, he would likely spare his life.

Unfortunately, in the original novel, Fan Xian had no interest in the throne, and in the end, the third prince, Li Chengping, ascended the throne.

Li Chengze knew that Li Chengping, who had lived in the palace since childhood, would not let him go. Rather than being imprisoned or even tortured in a humiliating way, he would rather commit suicide.

Ye Liuyun's gaze toward the three men became even more complicated.

Do you even know who your enemy is?

"Of course we know that our enemy is another Grandmaster of the Qing Kingdom. Senior should know his identity."

Ye Chengfeng smiled and looked at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun felt relieved. If these two young men joined forces, they could still rival a Grandmaster.

Moreover, Ye Chengfeng's identity is intricately linked to Si Gu Jian.

With the power they possess, even without him, they could fight against Emperor Qing, and their chances of winning would be very high!
