Chapter 298 – Emerging from the Mountain for a Stormy Meeting (Part Two)

Elder Feng: “Get lost! If you don’t leave now, I’ll call for backup.”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang swiftly pressed his Iron Sword against Elder Feng’s forehead, his eyes cold as frost.

The scene unfolded so quickly that everyone present turned pale with shock.

“Young man, what do you think you’re doing!”

“How dare you resort to violence! Drop that Iron Sword and release our captain!”

“Little Ye, don’t be impulsive. Let’s talk this out—one wrong move could lead to eternal regret.”

In an instant, Ye Kuang was surrounded by voices with varied intentions, but he clearly understood that there were two types of people before him.

One group genuinely cared for his well-being, while the other was eager to force him into submission to achieve their hidden agendas.

At this thought, Ye Kuang suddenly broke into a smile and said, “Elder Feng, is it? Let me ask you—can you block this sword?”

As he spoke, his tone shifted, and he continued, “This Sword Drawing Technique should make it clear that I have a solid foundation. I’m only here to play the role of a swordsman, not to cause trouble. If you still doubt my swordsmanship, I can demonstrate it again.”

Elder Feng was startled by these words and hurriedly replied, “No, no! It was my fault for failing to recognize a true master. I beg your forgiveness, young hero… Heh… heh…”

While speaking, Elder Feng cursed inwardly: If I let you demonstrate again and you slip up, I’d be done for!

Only then did Ye Kuang slowly withdraw the Iron Sword.

Unexpectedly, once the threat was gone, Elder Feng immediately turned hostile: “You’ve got some nerve, kid! Remember what happened today!”

With that, he shot a fierce glare at his subordinates and stormed off in a huff.

This scene only fueled the wild imaginations of the onlookers.

Ye Kuang’s seemingly casual sword strike had contained a mysterious essence.

One by one, they couldn’t help but gaze at him, their eyes filled with a curiosity that could kill the cat.

Seeing this, Elder Ma couldn’t help but admire silently and remarked, “Who would have thought… who would have thought that Elder Feng was all bark and no bite. Sigh…”

“Huh…” Just then, a sound of surprise came from afar.

Ye Kuang turned toward the noise, and his eyes lit up.

There stood a woman with wavy hair, long legs, and a devilish figure—her ‘S’-shaped curves barely concealing her perfect proportions…

Elder Ma forced a smile upon seeing her and said, “Xiao Xiang! What brings you here?”

This woman was none other than the reporter Xiao Xiang, who had once rushed to interview Ye Kuang.

“Manager Ma, what kind of question is that? I’m also a staff member of Flying TV Station—can’t I come? Hehe…”

“Ah, you’re right. My apologies, haha…”

Xiao Xiang then turned to Ye Kuang, scrutinizing him for a moment before suddenly asking, “Haven’t we met somewhere before?”

Elder Ma: “…”

Ye Kuang: “…”

Regardless of how perplexed Ye Kuang and Elder Ma were at that moment, Xiao Xiang suddenly jolted and let out a scream: “Ah, it’s you! I know you!”

What?Little did they know, Ye Kuang was utterly baffled upon hearing this and casually asked, “Do you know me?”

But unexpectedly, Xiao Xiang gritted her teeth in fury upon hearing this and muttered to herself, “Even if you turned to ashes, I’d still recognize you.”

Elder Ma, witnessing this, could no longer deny the obvious fact, no matter how dense he might be.

It seemed that Xiao Xiang and Ye Kuang had a past story that couldn’t be left untold.

“Do you two know each other?”

“Isn’t it obvious? This guy is utterly detestable. If it weren’t for his sharp words back then, how could I have tasted the bitterness of defeat?”

“I don’t know you,” Ye Kuang said, unable to hide his confusion.

Elder Ma: “…”

Seeing this, Elder Ma was also thrown into bewilderment.

Xiao Xiang: “Aren’t you called Ye Kuang?”

Ye Kuang: “Huh, how did you know?”

“What?” Xiao Xiang felt as if struck by lightning upon hearing this, her eyes widening in shock. “You really don’t remember me? Are you pretending to be clueless? I interviewed you back then.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, “Or have you lost your memory?”

It must be said, though the speaker had no ill intent, the listener was deeply shaken.

Ye Kuang abruptly stepped forward, staring intently into the beautiful woman’s eyes, and asked, “You know me? Who exactly am I?”

As these words left his mouth, he suddenly grew inexplicably agitated.

“You…” Xiao Xiang, startled by his sudden approach, stammered, “You’re Ye Kuang. Have you really lost your memory?”

Elder Ma, observing this, naturally grasped the crux of the matter.

He quickly interjected, “This place is too crowded and not suitable for conversation. Let’s go to the office to discuss this in detail.”

Xiao Xiang snapped back to reality upon hearing this, glanced at the surrounding focused gazes, and had no choice but to say, “Follow me.”

In the press conference room.

After an hour and a half.

Xiao Xiang suddenly spoke up, “Ah, how bizarre. People lose their memory every year, but I never expected someone as skilled as you to end up like this. It’s truly astonishing.”

Elder Ma, hearing this, couldn’t help but cast a complicated glance at Ye Kuang before smiling and saying, “This is fate. It seems you two are destined to cross paths. Who would have thought you’d meet again in this vast world?”

Ye Kuang: “…”

Xiao Xiang: “By the way, Manager Ma. Since you mentioned wanting him to play the role of a swordsman, I have a compromise. Would you like to see if it’s feasible?”

Elder Ma, hearing this, beamed with joy and said, “With Xiao Xiang taking charge, it couldn’t be better. I have no objections—needless to say, I wholeheartedly support it.”

Xiao Xiang: “…”

But then, Xiao Xiang suddenly glanced at Ye Kuang again and remarked calmly, “This film set involves some heavyweight participants. I’ll give you a heads-up in advance.”

As she spoke, she grew slightly excited. “The filming is nearing its end, but it still lacks a certain flair.”

Her eyes sparkled with enthusiasm as she exaggeratedly boasted, “Now that we have this brat, I suppose the ‘clash of titans’ scene will finally fall into place.”

It was only at this moment that Ye Kuang realized the theme of the swordsman role he was to play was: Destiny and the Cycle of Fate, What Fear is There in Pointing a Sword at the Jianghu? When the Vanished Tiger Reappears, It Will Be the Moment of the Clash of Titans…
