It was dusk.


    Thest remaining rays from the setting sun had painted the sky with a beautiful shade of red.


    The gentle breeze caused ripples across the water on Yunwu Lake.


    The sapphire coloredke had the beautiful sky reflected onto its surface.


    In the reflection, Mount Yunding Vi appeared surreal, as though it existed only in one''s dreams.


    It looked majestic, yet ethereal.


    It would stop anyone in their tracks when they saw it!


    Lv Hua and Lin Si-Cong had already left Mount Yunding Vi.


    Li Er had arranged for them to stay at the most luxurious hotel in Yunzhou.


    Only Qiu Mu-Cheng, Li Er, Lei San and Wang Jie-Xi were left in the vi.


    Ever since they were told of Ye Fan''s death, Qiu Mu-Cheng had neither moved from her seat nor spoken a word the whole


    afternoon.


    Only her pale beautiful face gave a hint on the torment and grief she was feeling.


    "Miss Qiu, are you alright?" Although Li Er and the rest had calmed down and epted that something serious had happened to


    Ye Fan, Qiu Mu-Cheng''s condition was worrying.


    Qiu Mu-Cheng shook her head and finally spoke, "I''m alright. | would like to be alone for a while."


    Li Er nodded his head as he said, "Alright. But Miss Qiu, | don''t think we can believe everything they had said. That Lv Hua has a


    viinous look and | keep having a feeling that something is off about him. | think we can trust what Lin Si-Cong had said


    though."


    "Mr Lin had said that this is only their conjecture. There is still a chance that Mr Chu is still alive as long as his body is not found.


    It could be just like thest time when everyone thought Mr Chu had died, but he came back alive, right? So, Miss Qiu, you have


    to stay strong. Even if Mr Chu is no longer around, the three of us will still assist you in managing Mr Chu''s estate in Jiangdong,”


    Li Er said earnestly as he tried to convince Qiu Mu-Cheng to look at the bright side of things.


    Qiu Mu-Cheng nodded and thanked the three of them.


    "We will leave now, please have a good rest, Miss Qiu."


    "Just give us a call should you need anything."


    After saying what they could, Li Er and the other two left Mount Yunding Vi.


    Only Qiu Mu-Cheng was left in the vi now.


    It was at this moment that she no longer had to hide what she was really feeling. Qiu Mu-Cheng slumped over the table and


    allowed heart wrenching sobs to escape


    from her.


    Her heart-breaking cries were filled with so much emotion. It was a mix of grief, fears and confusion.


    She was like a sheltered beautiful flower that had been suddenly exposed to the harsh elements of the world.


    Lei San gave a sigh when they left the vi.


    “Life can really be unpredictable. It can bring a person blessing one moment and misfortune the next. Who would have thought


    such a tragedy would happen to Mr Chu in just a matter of a few months?" Lei San said as he gave another sigh.


    Li Er was silent for a long moment before he said soberly, "Maybe this is what Mr Chu had said about the martial arts world,


    where danger is always lurking round the corner and the risk of losing one''s life is high. Mr Chu had always borne this risk alone


    and it''s because of him that Jiangdong could experience peace and prosperity. Who will be able to guard Jiangdong if Mr Chu is


    really gone?"


    Li Er''s eyes reddened as he gazed far ahead of him. His usually wise-looking eyes looked sorrowful.


    Li Er used to be a servant of the Chu family and it was not a surprise that he knew a lot more about the martial arts world.


    Jiangdong''s administration was in order and the people experienced peace and prosperity under the three men''s management.


    But they were only skilled enough to handle the rich and powerful families and businesses.


    They would not be able to withstand any attacks from powerful martial artists.


    Li Er and the other two had no confidence they could handle and stop the likes of Xur Shao-Hua and Lu Ming-Feng.


    "Sigh...We can only hope that the Chinese martial arts circle is really willing to protect Mr Chu''s family and estate," Li Er said


    worriedly.


    VROOM...


    With a low roar from their cars, Li Er and the rest left Mount Yunding. They were feeling depressed, as though they had lost their


    key pir of strength.


    Ye Fan rarely interfered in the management of Jiangdong, but to Li Er and others, they would feel strong, stable and secure as


    long as Ye Fan was alive.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    Now that they had received news of Ye Fan''s possible death, worry and fear started to form in their hearts.


    “Master Er, what happened? You have been looking worried ever since you came back," asked Jin Bao and Yin Bao puzzledly


    when they saw how gloomy Li Er was in the house.


    Li Er sighed and spoke slowly, "It''s nothing. | just miss Mr Chu suddenly and realized that | cannot bear to be apart from him."


    “Ohoho!" Jin Baoughed loudly. "Master Er, you''re not the only one who cannot bear to be apart from Mr Chu. All of Jiangdong


    can''t bear to be apart from him either.”


    "You are right. If Jiangdong wants to remain stable for a long time, we cannot do without Mr Chu. Another storm will hit


    Jiangdong if Mr Chu is no longer around,” said Li Er quietly.


    "What?"


    “Master Er, what happened? Did something happen to Mr Chu again?"


    Having sensed that something serious had happened from Li Er''s gloominess, Jin Bao and Yin Bao asked Li Er with some


    uncertainty in their voices.


    "That''s enough, do not ask what you are not supposed to know,” Li Er chided the two and the brothers immediately stopped their


    questioning.


    "Oh yes, is Zi-Yang and the rest back


    from their external training? Give him


    a call and have the Gre Dragon \!

    Ever since Ye Fan left Yunzhou, the


    Green Dragon Force had spent some


    time makin agiysteits ther


    tear. @ hey were ready, they had


    set out for training in the wilderness


    based on the training program set by


    Ye Fan. Please read the original


    content at NovelDrama.Org.


    It was now highly likely that something bad had happened to Ye Fan.


    In order to better deal with any unforeseen events, it was best to recall the Green Dragon Force urgently and have them guard


    Mount Yunding.


    Ye Fan had chosen to protect and train the Green Dragon Force even at the expense of breaking ties with the Jiangdong armed


    forces.


    Why did he do this?


    It was only because Ye Fan wanted to ensure that there would always be a strategic force that could help to stabilize Jiangdong


    and protect Qiu Mu-Cheng when he was not around.


    It was time for the hidden Green Dragons toe forth and y their role.


    At the same time, Lv Hua and Lin Si-Cong were enjoying a sumptuous dinner at the hotel in which they were staying.


    “Brother Hua, are we going back tomorrow?" Lin Si-Cong asked casually during dinner.


    Lv Hua chuckled and replied, "What''s the hurry?"
