Chapter 822 The Commotion at Dongchang Lake


    "Your group is different. Please go back. This ce is very dangerous and it is really not a ce where


    youngsters like all of you should be." The security guards around theke still refused to let them in


    even after Chu Wen-Fei and Tian Xiu-Xiu tried to argue with them.


    Ever since Mochizuki Kawa had announced that he was going to challenge Ye Fan to a duel here, a


    hundred meter radius around theke had been cordoned off and fiercely guarded so as not to cause


    any unnecessary panic.


    Besides martial artists and some of the rich and powerful of the country, tourists and ordinary citizens


    were barred from entering the area.


    Keeping order was one reason, and the other reason was for these people''s safety.


    Weapons had no eyes after all, so if a huge fight really broke out on Dongchang Lake and there were


    too many spectators nearby, it would spell trouble.


    Martial artists were strong and able to fight, but ordinary people would not be able to hold up against


    the sort of energy unleashed in such fights.


    "Xiu-Xiu, I think we should just forget it. Since the entire area is closed off to the public, we should


    cooperate with the authorities. We''ll juste another time. The security guards are just trying to do


    their job, so let''s not make things difficult forthem,” said a gentle and alluring female voice.


    This youngdy had long hair past her shoulders, had a gentle looking face and was rather pretty. Her


    simple dressing was unable to hide her extraordinary facial features and aura.


    She was also a university ssmate of Chu Wen-Fei, and her name was He Yu-Rou.


    Her family lived in Jianghai, and she happened to be in Jingzhou to visit some rtives, so she came


    along to see the snow at Dongchang Lake.


    After running into this unexpected problem, He Yu-Rou didn''t seem unhappy at all and even tried to be


    understanding.


    After hearing what He Yu-Rou said, Chu Wen-Fei nodded too. "Xiu-Xiu, Yu-Rou''s right. I suppose


    there''s some special activity happening at Dongchang Lake today. Since they don''t let us go in, let''s not

    make things difficult for the staff," Chu Wen-Fei chimed in.


    The others in the group nodded and agreed with He Yu-Rou as well.


    But just as Chu Wen-Fei and his friends were about to walk away.


    HUU...


    A cold breeze blew past them as a Maybach drove in and stopped at the intersection of the road.


    The car doors opened and threedies alighted.


    "Mu-Cheng, this is Dongchang Lake? It''s so well guarded already. Are we still able to enter?"


    "Don''t worry,e with me."


    After a brief conversation, the threedies made their way towards theke.


    Initially, Chu Wen-Fei didn''t notice them.


    But after he heard Su Qian called out Qiu Mu-Cheng''s name, he got a shock and turned to look.


    "Hmm? Why is she in Jingzhou too?" thought Chu Wen-Fei to himself. But he didn''t go up to talk to her.


    After all, Chu Wen-Fei had nothing to do with the Qiu family anymore, so he had no reason to bother


    himself with Qiu Mu-Cheng.


    But Tian Xiu-Xiu and the others tried to be nice and said, "Ladies, the entire area around theke is


    closed to public and you can''t go in. If you''re here to see the snow, I think it''s better if youe


    another day."


    But none of the threedies stopped when Tian Xiu-Xiu and the rest tried to inform them of the situation


    and actually just walked past them as if they hadn''t heard them say anything.


    After being ignored like that, Tian Xiu-Xiu got upset. "Who are these people? We tried to be kind but


    they didn''t thank us and even ignored us? Tsk, fine if they don''t take our advice, we''ll just wait for them


    to be turned away at the door."


    Tian Xiu-Xiu and the rest looked on angrily and waited gleefully for Qiu Mu-Cheng and herpanions


    to be chased out like them.


    But to their surprise, the security guards didn''t stop them and even bowed politely to them before


    bringing them in personally.


    "What the hell? What''s the meaning of this? Are these people looking down on us?" Chu Wen-Fei and


    the rest started getting angry at this sight.


    The wife of a live-in son-inw managed to gain entry but they couldn''t?


    In their anger, the group walked over again and started demanding that they be allowed inside.


    "I''m warning you guys, leave while we''re still polite. We already told you earlier that theke is closed


    for ten days, and random visitors are not allowed inside!" said the security guards along theke


    impatiently. They even pushed He Yu-Rou and she nearly fell.


    "How dare you! Did you just call us random people? How could you look down on us like that? Do you


    know whose daughter this youngdy is?" shouted the girl in a white down coat angrily as she stood


    next to He Yu-Rou.


    "Her father is the provincial secretary of Jiangdong province, He Lan-Shan! Her father is in charge of


    the entire province! What do you mean by we''re not allowed to go near this tinyke?!"


    "Xin-Xin, why are you talking about this?" whispered He Yu-Rou as she tugged at her friend''s coat. She


    clearly didn''t want others to know about her background.


    "What''s going on? It''s so noisy here. Can''t you do a simple job? Why do I bother paying you?"


    Themotion over here soon attracted the attention of the people around them.


    Li Er, Chen Ao and Lei San happened to be walking by, so when they heard themotion, Lei San


    started scolding the security guards.


    "Master San, it''s not our fault. These youngsters insist on going in, and one of them ims to be the


    provincial secretary''s daughter," said one of the guards fearfully.


    Oh?


    "He Lan-Shan''s daughter?" Lei San was a little stunned.


    Chen Ao frowned and looked at the group of youngsters.


    "Yu-Rou, it''s really you? Why are you in Jingzhou instead of being with your father in Jianghai?" asked


    Chen Ao when he saw


    He Yu-Rou and got a shock.


    Chen Ao''s main business was in Jianghai, so he had to cross paths with He Lan-Shan often. After


    many years, the two of them had be friends.


    Their families ate together quite often, so Chen Ao knew He Yu-Rou personally.


    When she saw Chen Ao, He Yu-Rou quickly greeted him and said in a gentle voice, "Uncle Chen, my


    friends just want to take a walk along theke. Do you think you could help us see if we can go in?"


    "I promise that we won''t simply run about," pleaded He Yu-Rou.


    Chen Ao hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Ok, you and your friends can go in. But remember,


    don''t go too near theke, and follow the crowd at all times. Otherwise, I wouldn''t be able to ensure


    your safety either."


    "Oh! Thank you so much, Uncle Chen!" He Yu-Rou was immediately overjoyed when she saw Chen Ao


    nod.


    A few minutester.


    The waters of Dongchang Lake undted as the mist covered its surface.


    Chu Wen-Fei and his friends got into the area around theke as they had wished.


    "Yu-Rou, it''s all thanks to you that we managed to get in here. It''s always great to be born into a


    powerful family.”


    "Exactly, Yu-Rou. I didn''t know that you were actually the daughter of Jiangdong''s provincial secretary.


    We were ssmates for four years and I didn''t know at all! I couldn''t tell at all!"


    All of them couldn''t help eximing about this to He Yu-Rou.


    Chu Wen-Fei didn''t look at He Yu-Rou the same way as before either. In fact, he was practically


    drooling over her.
