Yang Chen remained silent for a long ti. He could sense that ng Po was very emotional, even going so far as to not call him ’Master’ and instead refer to him directly as ’Asura King’, which gave Yang Chen quite a headache.
After much contemplation, Yang Chen raised his head and looked ng Po in the eyes.
"You’re right, when I say these words, I can’t block out my emotions, because my feelings for Ye Xin are sothing I can’t ignore."
Upon hearing this, ng Po’s face was full of anguish. She held her chest and said, "Master, did you consider my feelings when you said that? Do you know how much this hurts ?"
Yang Chen sighed and shook his head, "I’m sorry, ng Po, I understand. Maybe in your heart, I seem tall and imposing since I saved you, then raised you and taught you various things. To you, I might be both a brother and a father, and perhaps, because of the absence of a father’s love, you have so kind of father complex. But what I want to tell you is, and this is sothing I’ve always said and emphasized, feelings aren’t as simple as you think, and you shouldn’t confuse familial love with romantic love."
"Ha!" ng Po let out a cold laugh, "Master, I understand all that you’re saying, don’t forget I have a master’s degree in psychology! I’m not so confused that I can’t distinguish between love and familial affection!"
"Uh!" Yang Chen seed to have forgotten about that, also because ng Po often stayed at the base out of boredom, getting too many certificates that Yang Chen couldn’t keep track of.
"Master!" ng Po stared at Yang Chen and said, "Putting other things aside, shouldn’t you at least tell your disciple when you’re getting married? As mbers of Asura Hall, shouldn’t we know? You used to say that with you, there were no subordinates, only brothers! But in handling things like this, are you considering us as brothers?"
"I..."
For the first ti, Yang Chen found himself speechless from being reprimanded.
"Fine! Let’s not talk about that either!" ng Po waved her hand and said, "Let’s discuss sothing else, what’s with the two critical condition notices? What’s with the two kidnappings? What’s with the multiple stabbings? What’s with using your body to block sniper bullets? I’ve really noticed, Master, every ti you return to Fla Country, you beco like Iron Man, invulnerable! Do you ever think, while you’re risking your life, that there’s a whole group of brothers in Lijia Continent waiting for you to return? Do you know, once you’re gone, Asura Hall won’t be Asura Hall anymore, and may even cease to exist?"
Yang Chen lowered his head, feeling a tingling on his scalp.
Within the entire Asura Hall, only ng Po dared to confront Yang Chen like this.
This was also because Yang Chen usually doted on ng Po a bit more, so while she was afraid of Yang Chen during training, she would act very familiar with him in private.
"Do you know what’s most important?" ng Po said in a deep voice, "Your sister is sick, seriously sick, and needs surgery, yet you went to work as a bodyguard because you had no money! My God!"
ng Po held her forehead, feeling like her head was all jumbled like mush.
"Oh, my big boss! My master! Can’t you just tell ? We contact each other basically once a week, right? Can’t you say sothing? Right! I’m too stupid. You said not to investigate you, so I didn’t. And in the blink of an eye, so many things happened!"
As ng Po scolded, Yang Chen could only smile awkwardly, his face nearly stiff from it.
ng Po glanced at Yang Chen and asked, "Master, is there anything else you want to say?"
Yang Chen: "..."
After a while, Yang Chen slowly said, "These things... I... I have my own considerations."
"You have your own considerations? Just that?" ng Po laughed at herself, feeling that all the things she said seed useless.
Yang Chen said in a deep voice, "ng Po, I know that the things I’ve done might seem irresponsible to you all, but these were necessary choices. First, I’ve said before, once I return to Fla Country, I must ensure my identity isn’t exposed, and I was seriously injured, in great danger, even contacting you was done cautiously, and it was impossible to move large sums of money or call you here. Second, when I married Ye Xin, there were no feelings involved; it was rely to cover up each other’s identities, nothing more. But later, I realized that it might have been love at first sight. From the mont I first saw her, I just..."
"I don’t want to hear! I don’t want to hear! I don’t want to listen to this!" ng Po covered her ears and shook her head, and a few glistening tears flew from her.
Yang Chen raised his hands in surrender and said, "Alright, alright, I won’t talk about it. As for the kidnapping, do you think I had ti to notify you? At the critical mont, I was the only one who could act! To ensure Yanyan’s safety, that was all I could do."
"Also, regarding what you said about acting on feelings, Ye Xin is my chosen one, and I’m determined to keep her at all costs. If anyone tries to stop , I’ll kill them! If anyone resists, I’ll make them submit. If anyone obstructs , I’ll crush them to pieces!"
After speaking, Yang Chen’s eyes flashed with cold light.
He was not boasting. Leaving aside the secret forces he had established, just the people of Asura Hall alone, if they were to fight an ordinary guard, could also hold off a division. Although they couldn’t bury forty thousand like Bai Qi, they had the capability to slaughter ten thousand!
As ng Po watched Yang Chen’s firm expression, filled with courage to oppose the world, her eyes blurred.
He was supposed to be her hero!
At this mont, her hero was set for war, alone against the world, for another woman.
"Master!" Tears began cascading down ng Po’s face uncontrollably, "I just hate... I just hate why I didn’t return to Fla Country with you back then!"
Yang Chen fell into silence.
ng Po couldn’t appear.
Because ng Po was widely renowned internationally, and many people knew her.
If ng Po appeared in Fla Country, perhaps the entire Ningchuan would struggle to find peace.
"Besides!" ng Po stood up and said to Yang Chen, "Tell Ye Xin, if there’s a chance, I want to et her! I want to see how excellent this woman of my master truly is! If she doesn’t asure up, I’ll personally drive her away!"
Having said that, ng Po hung up the phone.
Looking at the screen that went dark, Yang Chen couldn’t help but feel awkward, rubbing his nose, yet feeling helpless.
Perhaps he could be strict with other won or anyone else, but when it ca to ng Po, he... he couldn’t say anything.
"This really is..." Yang Chen couldn’t put this feeling into words, his mood extrely complex.
This was probably the first ti soone had made him speechless with a reprimand.
But thinking it over, Yang Chen felt that the things he did before indeed overlooked the feelings of the people in Asura Hall.
To put it bluntly, only with Yang Chen was there an Asura Hall.
Yang Chen was not only the pillar of Asura Hall but also a kind of symbol. If Yang Chen were to disappear or die, Asura Hall might crumble and even face besiegent from all major forces.
Looking at the night outside, Yang Chen fell into deep thought.
