Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 286 Sima Kong's Speculation

As soon as Ye Qing finished speaking, dozens of pairs of eyes instantly turned to stare at him, their gazes carrying a hint of hostility.

Ye Qing's words clearly showed that he didn't take the Ye family seriously!

Above, Ye Liang grinned and said, "As expected of Ye Tianyang's son, you speak with a tone that begs for a beating. But I like your confidence. It's settled then, you lost, and that won't change. You'll have to marry into my Ye family!"

“Of course!” Ye Qing said.

"If you win, what reward would you like?" Ye Liang asked.

Ye Qing was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked at Li Yuhuan beside him and said, "Do the Ye family know about Dawn?"

Li Yuhuan nodded and said, "Of course I know!"

Ye Qing's eyes lit up slightly. He raised his head and looked at Ye Liang, saying, "If I win, how about your Ye family joins Dawn?"

Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, the scene fell silent!

However, Sima Kong's pupils shrank slightly as he looked up at Ye Liang.

Then he glanced at Li Yuhuan next to him!

On Li Yuhuan's pretty face, the corners of her mouth slightly turned to the side, revealing a faint smile. Upon seeing this smile, Sima Kong's expression shifted, as if he understood something!

"Alright!" Ye Liang said, "It's settled then! Come up on stage, I don't believe that ten of my Ye family's younger generation can't beat one of you!"

"Young men of the Ye family, come up to the stage!" Ye Liang roared.

In an instant, ten men and women who looked to be in their twenties or thirties jumped onto the stage. Ye Qing had seen Ye Yun, Ye Zhong, and Ye Li before, and they were among them.

Besides them, there were several other people!

"Ye Qing, come up here if you dare, let's see how long you can be so arrogant!" Ye Zhong stared intently at Ye Qing.

Ye Yun's eyes were also filled with excitement.

He seemed to be really looking forward to facing the number one player on the Earth Ranking.

Ye Qing stood up and walked upwards step by step.

Just as he was walking towards the stage, Sima Kong suddenly spoke up: "Have you reached an agreement with the Ye family?"

"Hmm?" Li Yuhuan looked at Sima Kong and asked, "What does Mr. Sima mean by this?"

“I’m not stupid. You’re putting on a show right in front of me!” Sima Kong said. “Ye Qing is already married, and his parents have disappeared. This bet was made while he was drunk, so it’s just a piece of paper.”

"But you brought it up. Obviously, with Ye Qing's wife around, he can't agree to let the Ye family marry their daughter. He can only offer another reward. And what is that reward? Most likely... the Ye family will join Dawn," Sima Kong said.

"So you guessed from the beginning that Ye Qing would want this reward. Moreover, Ye Qing is super strong; even if the Ye family sent ten people, they couldn't possibly defeat him," Sima Kong said. "Furthermore, logically speaking, Ye Liang shouldn't have agreed to this, but he did, which is too strange! So you had it all planned from the start!"

“Let the Ye family find a reason to enter Dawn, and then I’ll sit here, and you’ll have an explanation to give to the Heavenly Net!” Sima Kong said.

This was Lin Qianyu's first real contact with the underworld, with ancient martial arts families, and with some big shots in the underworld!

However, she was very good at reading people. Although Sima Kong spoke calmly, Lin Qianyu could clearly sense that he seemed to be suppressing anger!

"Li Yuhuan, what exactly do you want to do? Do you intend to use Dawn to replace the Heavenly Net?" Sima Kong asked.

"First of all, you're overthinking it!" Li Yuhuan said, "You old man, all you do is plot against us. The new list of Baixiaoge hasn't been released yet, and Ye Qing is still number one on the Earth List. As for his entry into the Super List, Killing Star and Brahma haven't made it public because they still want to use the power of the underworld to harass Ye Qing and the others."

"So Ye Liang has no idea!" Li Yuhuan said, "Ye Liang just wants Ye Qing to marry into the Ye family. With Ye Qing's current status, representing Mangshan and Dawn, the benefits to the Ye family would be enormous! That's all!"

“But you just laughed!” Sima Kong said.

"Because Ye Liang agreed!" Li Yuhuan said, "My Dawn has gained a huge boost, so of course I should be happy!"

"No!" Sima Kong said, squinting. "You're already laughing before Ye Liang even agrees to Ye Qing's bet."

"You're overthinking it!" Li Yuhuan said calmly.

“Li Yuhuan!” Sima Kong said, “You know very well that Ye Qing will definitely be caught in the Heavenly Net. No one can change that. Whether it’s Yi Shuihan or Old Man Zhuge, they will both let him into the Heavenly Net. Even if Ye Tianyang comes back, he will do the same. You know this better than anyone else!”

“Of course I know, that’s why I said you’re overthinking it!” Li Yuhuan said. “I think you should consider why Ye Liang agreed to this bet. If, as you say, Ye Liang knew beforehand, why would he abandon the Heavenly Net and enter Dawn?”

“If…the inescapable net continues to rot like this, I believe that our Dawn Squad won’t be the first, and Su Qing and Qin Wanwan won’t be the second. More and more people will leave!” Li Yuhuan said, “From the very beginning, perhaps you were wrong to choose a painful but ultimately futile way to deal with this matter!”

“Li Yuhuan, let me reiterate, both I and Yi Shuihan have our own difficulties, including old man Zhuge. Otherwise, do you think he would have let it go so easily after Liu Yingying died so inexplicably three years ago?” Sima Kong said.

Lin Qianyu, standing beside him, frowned as he looked at the two people in front of him, listening silently.

The others at the table turned their gazes to the side, pretending they hadn't heard anything.

At this moment, Ye Qing had already arrived on the stage!

"You're fucking arrogant!" Ye Zhong said through gritted teeth as he looked at Ye Qing.
