Chapter 157: Trouble at the Lu Family of the Martial World

Boom!

After Azure Dragon unleashed his full strength in a head-on collision with Cheng Qimeng, both parties staggered back a few paces.

Gritting his teeth in frustration, he demanded, "Cheng Qimeng, whose side are you really on?"

Cheng Qimeng spat out four chilling words: "The Apostolic Walkers."

"Why did you go to such painstaking lengths to drive Y6 to its doom?"

A flash of profound pain crossed Cheng Qimeng’s icy, beautiful face. Biting her lip, she trembled as she asked, "Do you still remember the young man surnamed Chen who died a miserable death at your hands thirteen years ago?"

"His name was Chen Feng. He was my most capable assistant and the previous vice-captain of the Apostolic Walkers."

"During a mission, he accidentally crossed paths with the same target as you. Just because you were afraid he might expose your whereabouts, you brutally murdered him..."

Hearing this, Chen Xi’s eyes turned bloodred!

"Godmother, are you talking about my father?"

Cheng Qimeng nodded, her voice deep with emotion, "Child, everything I have done over the past dozen years was not only to eradicate the scourge of Y6, but also to give you closure."

"The murderer who killed your father is standing right there—Azure Dragon!"

Azure Dragon narrowed his eyes and tried to recall, "I remember now. There was indeed a fellow named Chen Feng who died by my hand thirteen years ago."

"That guy was just a nobody. To think you wasted over a decade just to tear down the entire Y6 for him—you truly are a madwoman!"

Whether Cheng Qimeng was crazy or not remained debatable.

Right now, Chen Xi had lost his mind!

The truth she had agonizingly waited over a decade to uncover had finally been revealed today, and her father's killer was standing right before her eyes!

"Die!"

Clutching a black dagger, Chen Xi lunged forward. Azure Dragon sneered and stepped forward to meet him, attempting to seize Chen Xi’s wrist with a locking technique.

How could Lu Ye let him succeed? With a single movement of Tai Chi deflection, Lu Ye batted Azure Dragon’s arm away, enabling Chen Xi to press close and strike with his blade.

White Tiger tried to rush to the rescue, but Cheng Qimeng caught him across the face with a slap that left him stunned on the spot.

"Stay right there. This doesn't concern you for now."

White Tiger was a tenth-tier martial artist, yet he had taken a slap just like that.

However, even when he and Azure Dragon joined forces, they were no match for Cheng Qimeng, let alone fighting her single-handedly.

Helplessly, he could only watch as Azure Dragon was caught in a pincer attack by the brother and sister.

Lu Ye merely assisted from the sidelines, constantly disrupting Azure Dragon to prevent him from harming Chen Xi.

Taking advantage of the opening, Chen Xi slipped behind Azure Dragon and drove the black dagger deep into his back with all his might!

"Slash, stab..."

Thud!

Sustaining critical injuries, Azure Dragon collapsed to his knees.

His gaze glazed over in a daze, though no one knew what thoughts were passing through his mind.

The tip of the black dagger pressed precisely against his throat...

Chen Xi desperately wanted to end him on the spot to comfort his late father’s spirit.

After hesitating for several agonizing seconds, he gritted his teeth and withdrew the dagger.

Turning around, he said through clenched teeth, "Hand him over to the law!"

Cheng Qimeng nodded with a look of relief and appeased him, "Xi'er, leave his disposal to me. Mother won't let you down."

Luo Ying stepped forward and handed Lu Ye a pair of handcuffs. Azure Dragon offered no further resistance and allowed himself to be captured without a fight.

Cheng Qimeng cast a sideways glance at the remaining figure and let out a light snort, "White Tiger, what about you?"

White Tiger sighed, "Since the boss has surrendered, what else can I do?"

"The Four Divine Envoys have always lived and died together..."

"Therefore, I choose to surrender!"

The Four Divine Envoys had all been captured.

With this, Y6 was completely annihilated, following closely in the footsteps of the Hongying Society...

Cheng Qimeng called out into the crowd, "Wu Qing, Zhou Tao."

Wu Qing and Zhou Tao stepped out side by side, answering, "Here!"

"I’ll give you two choices. Either follow my son and become members of the Apostolic Walkers."

"Or, like the rest of the Y6 members, face the judgment of the law..."

Hiss!

Wu Qing and Zhou Tao simultaneously leaned back, drew sharp breaths, and weakly replied, "Is there even a choice to make? Of course we'll continue following Brother Lu."

"Haha, I was just joking with you two. Don't be so nervous."

Not only were Wu Qing and Zhou Tao free of any punishment, but they had also rendered a great service.

Once they returned to their country to clear their names and officially join the Apostolic Walkers, the Shield Bureau’s honors roll would undoubtedly reserve a prominent space for their achievements.

Lu Ye kept only Chen Xi and Luo Ying with him.

The remaining personnel of the Apostolic Walkers were tasked with escorting the Y6 captives back to the country.

They were instructed to head straight for the airport, where a private jet arranged by Chen Xiaoting awaited to fly them directly from Paris to Pearl City.

Lu Ye drove Cheng Qimeng, Chen Xi, and Luo Ying back to the apartment.

As they rounded the corner, they spotted two lovely figures standing by the entrance, craning their necks in eager anticipation.

Liu Yiyi had received the battle report of their complete victory firsthand. To avoid causing Su Qianqian excessive worry, she had shared the good news in advance.

Unable to contain her joy, Su Qianqian had dragged Liu Yiyi right out to the front gate to welcome their triumphant return.

The moment the Dongfeng Mengshi came into view, Su Qianqian waved her hands excitedly, shouting, "Honey!"

Inside the car, Cheng Qimeng smiled faintly and remarked, "I heard earlier that the two of you were in a fake marriage. How is it that your relationship looks so sweet now?"

Lu Ye laughed heartily, "It accidentally turned from fake into reality. Are you satisfied with this daughter-in-law?"

Cheng Qimeng nodded, "Of course I am. Qianqian is such a wonderful girl!"

"Hehehe."

When Lu Ye stepped out of the car holding Cheng Qimeng's hand, Su Qianqian was dumbfounded!

Goodness gracious, was this legendary figure actually my mother-in-law?

Was this someone who was about to attain grandmother status?

How could she possibly be this gorgeous?

Su Qianqian's thoughts at that moment were not exaggerated in the slightest; Cheng Qimeng truly possessed peerless grace and beauty.

If a stranger saw her standing next to Su Qianqian, they would undoubtedly mistake them for a pair of sisters, utterly oblivious to the fact that an entire generation separated them.

Her exquisitely delicate, fair complexion and features, her slender and graceful figure, and her undeniable queen-like aura left Su Qianqian utterly awestruck and even a bit self-conscious.

Lu Ye smiled playfully, "Wife, what are you standing there frozen for? Hurry up and call her Mom!"

Su Qianqian’s cheeks flushed slightly as she cautiously murmured, "Mom!"

"There you go!"

Cheng Qimeng produced a red envelope from somewhere and handed it to Su Qianqian.

Su Qianqian froze in surprise, "This is?"

"It's the first time we're meeting as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. This is a belated wedding red envelope for you!"

Su Qianqian smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Mom!"

Cheng Qimeng gently took Su Qianqian's hand, intending to grow closer to her, but accidentally caught her pulse. Her expression instantly froze in shock!

"Qianqian, are you pregnant?"

Lu Ye and Su Qianqian nodded simultaneously with a smile, "Yes! When we left home this morning, we were just saying today is a double blessing."

Cheng Qimeng's eyes welled up slightly; this surprise had arrived too abruptly. "You rascal, your mother missed the most important stage of your growth. From now on, I'll have to dote on my grandchild doubly to make up for it."

Lu Ye pouted and muttered, "His dad spent over a dozen years living without maternal love. Why should this little fellow be showered with endless affection even before he's born? I object!"

Cheng Qimeng put her hands on her hips and snorted, "Object all you want, but you'd better swallow it!"

...

After picking up everyone and their luggage, Lu Ye drove to the airport to rendezvous with the rest of the team.

The airplane pierced through the clouds, flying at an altitude of ten thousand meters for dozens of hours before finally returning to Pearl City.

Unsurprisingly, the person waiting at the airport to receive them was Huang Yu, who took charge of handling the aftermath for the Y6 captives.

Upon returning to the Mid-Mountain Villa, Su Qianqian specifically called Su Shiming and Li Shuqi, inviting them over to meet Cheng Qimeng. Right there in the courtyard, they set up stoves, lit fires, and threw a grand celebration banquet!

Cheng Qimeng glanced around the crowd a few times before grabbing Lu Ye’s arm and asking in a low whisper, "Where is your unreliable old man?"

Lu Ye’s mouth twitched as he replied, "Old Lu went back to inherit the family business..."

Cheng Qimeng immediately stamped her feet in anger, "Huh? That old scoundrel actually dares to hide from me! I'll settle accounts with him later!"

Lu Ye swallowed hard and cautiously tested the waters, "Mom, how do you plan to deal with Dad? After all, he had no idea you were still alive all these years."

"How about we just give him a slight beating to vent your anger and call it even?"

Cheng Qimeng arched her delicate eyebrows and scolded, "In his dreams! He dared to flirt with some pretty widow while I was gone? I'm divorcing him!"

At that moment, Wan Quan came rushing hurriedly into their courtyard, shouting, "Brother Lu, you're finally back!"

Noticing his flustered expression, Lu Ye asked, "Young Master Wan, what's wrong?"

"Something's happened to your martial arts family, the Lus!"
